IN HIGH SPIRITS

A week ago today. the editor of
this paper visited Governor Floyd B.
Olson at ST. Mary's hospital in
Rochester. 1t was a happy surprise
to note how we'll the governor looks
and feels. He was cheerful. talked
and joked, and appeared much better
physically than when he gave his
message to the special session of the
Minnesota Legislature on December 2.
The chief executive wanted to know
all about the special session, the
fights that had taken place, and so
on. He talked about past campaigns,
related experiences. and dwelt upon
the coming campaign.
He talked freely about his phys
ical condition, stating that the polyp
or growth in the pit of the stomach
which was revealed through X-ray
pictures prior to the operation, was
found as indicated, but i'm addition
to that there were more polyps up
under the ribs that had not been re-
vealed through the X-ray pictures.
Those were in a dangerous position
and. therefore, the operation was not
performed, They will be diminished
or eliminated through X-ray treat
ments and medication.
Asked if he would be able to do
any more in the approaching cam
paign than give radio talks, the gov
ernor said, Il have my plans all laid
for the campaign and after September
1. it will be much more than radio
talks. / will be out on the firing
line fighting"
The governor greets his many
friends out over the state.

TEETH PRINTS TRAP
A STORE PROWLER

Law enforcement officers have
found means of detecting GRIM
inals through finger prints, hand
writing and what not, but it was
left to Sheriff Knute Inglebret of
Preston, to do the real Sherlock
Holmes in cornering a thieving
culprit by his teeth marks. 1t is
apparent that the thief who broke
into a general store at Lenora in
Fillmore county became hungry
and bit into a large chunk Of
cheese.
Called to Lenora to investigate
the robbery, the sheriff searched
about for clues and found the
cheese. He remarked that whoever
bit into the cheese had one front
tooth missing and one of the group
of spectators, which consisted of
about one-half of the village pop
ulation of 80, laughed Noticing
the mirthful one had a front tooth
missing, the sheriff had him bite
into another piece of cheese. This
bite showed the identical marks
upon both cheeses which the thief
had munched and sheriff Ingle-
bret nabbed his man. After some
grilling the 26 year old Lenora
man admitted he was guilty and
said he had been drunk at the time
he broke into the store.
The storekeeper said that he
had discovered nothing missing
with the exception of a few crack
ers and cheese although overalls,
shirts, socks, and other wearing
apparel had been torn from the
shelves and strewn about the floor.
Moral: See your dentist at least
twice a year."

THE WITCHCRAFT COURT

Editor ASkOv American:
That covenant Mr.. Gust SoderquiSt
tells us about in your issue of last
week God holds with the Jews, and
according to him, is good today. 1t
that Jews can enter the place where
all good Christians go. without Christ
as medium? What did he hang on
the cross for?
Why did he teach, preach, and try
to convert Jews into Christians?
Granted for minute that the Bible
is true and grand, me or Satan
Monster" as Mr.. Soderquist pleased TO
address Socialist freethinkers. to use
Gods word las he calls the Bible).
That book says, Christ came on
earth principally for the Jews;
preached and taught them but they
would not accept Him. Then he
turned the message to the gentiles,
substituting them in the place of the
Jews.
Further Mr.. Soderquist says there
is an exception, that covenant of God
holds good only for the good ones.
1t expelled those who are monsters"
it was meant for pure, registered
stock"

Karl Marx is also on the blacklist

To show that all Republicans are

AS there are now Alp different de-
nominations of Christians, there is a
chance that it will increase if the
theories of Mr.. SOderquist will get
hold of some simple Simon minds. If
that happens ! hope it will attract
the attention of all the fighting
Christians and withdraw their minds
from those people who are Socialist
freethinkers who separated the
church and had the same results as
Mr.. Soderquist had by doing the re-
verse, become better than their past.

they can be good without being a

HIGH.SOUNDING WORDS

A statement by Ray H. Faulkner,
president of the Auburn Automobile
Company, and published in the Indus
trial News Review. sounds good but
has another side. The statement is
quoted herewith:
I'VE have become great nation
because we are a nation of fearless
individualists. We have no caste, nc
privileged few and the little child
born in the tenement is a potential
president of the United States. This
is our heritage. No depression can
take away from the true American
his desire to climb and his desire to
achieve. The history of America is
filled with the stories of men who
battled their way through barren will
derness, who blasted their way
through mountains of rock and laid
the foundations of cities and bust
nesses that stand as testimonials to
this country and its opportunities .
for the track walker becomes the
railroad president and the farm boy
becomes the president of great
bank"
Mr.. Faulkners statement locks
good in print, and possibly made for
an eloquent address, but present con-
ditions point to many weaknesses.
Thousands of young folks who have
left university and college class rooms
with diploma under their arms, face
dark and uncertain future for there
are no jobs awaiting them as has been
the case in the earlier generations in
this country. Surely, we have ma
ton of fearless individualists but we
do not agree with Mr. Faulkner when
he states that we have no privilag ed
few.
The little child born in the tene-
ment certainly is potential presi-
dent of the United States providing
present conditions will permit him to
live past the infant stage. Right now
hunger and lack of the necessities of
life make the pathway to the presi-
dency a hard one to follow. The
privileged few that Mr.. Faulkner
speaks of as being absent from our
midst have possibly had great deal
to do with the heritage of the future
generations-the young men and
women who have no jobs and nothing
to look forward to now. The privi-
legged few have gathered the wealth
of the nation and let it out only after
receiving much more in return than
what they gave.
Such statements as that of Mr.
Faulkner are meant for good enter
tainment only. and even though
America remains as the Land of OPP
portunity, the present time and con-
ditions show much lack of opportun-
ity
