Roland H. Hartley Is
Governor Candidate

Roland H. Hartley, for eight
years Governor of this State of
Washington. Immediately proceed
ing the term of the present Gov
ernor Martin, has again announced
his candidacy for Governor and is
now busily engaged in espouslng
his cause, He sets up his record
of smoothly functioning state gov
eminent, unridden by a multiple
city of bureaus, departments, and
commissioners, and successful in
the fact that when he left office,
the general funds of the state
showed on hand a balance of ST.
364, 747.O2 with no general fund tax
levied for state purposes for the
years of 1881 and 1882, his last
years in August. He assures all
voters that industrial peace will ex-
list shall he be elected, with no
place for racketeers, and industry
and labor win again prosper with
out being throttled and harassed
by the racketeer rule which is now
destroying the industrial life of Sc
attic and the State of Washington.
To the colored voters he assures
fair treatm and fair deal and
points to The scord Of his former
administration.
In his speech made Thursday at
Spokane, Mr.. Hartley said in part:
In the last few years two phil
osophies of government have been
written in the archives of this state
and across its statute books, My
philosophy was one of less govern
nient. The new philosophy is one
of more government. The question
before you on primary day is =
Which do you want?
During my terms in office I
was constantly striving to give the
people simpler government, less ex-
pensive government, and more no.
nest government The less govern
ment you have, the less chance is
there for corrupt men to exploit
your interests. And believe me, no
one robbed the taxpayer while

to do and did 1t we'll"

COOPERATION PLAN

One would think that such socie-
| ties would ignore the color line in
behalf of arts and science, but If
yon win look into the matter you
win be surprised TO find that for
the most part lie societies are the
white mems societies. Either de-
liberately or unconsciously the Of
ficials Of these societies have fall
ed to take Negroes into member
ship. Certainly the work of both
groups Of scholars would be vastly
improved If they could get togeth-
er in the annual meetings of those
professional societies.
what / have already said is
very closely tied up with research.
We should not delude ourselves any
longer that we have all to give to
the Negro and nothing to get from
him. Let me re-emphasize DR..
Alexander's point Of the develop
ing scholarship of Negroes. There
are today Negroes in all the social
sciences. working in the Negro col
leges of the South. whose training,
experience, and reseafch contribu-
tons are vastly better than those
Of many white scholars. If we had
moro cooperative research work
going on, we would avoid a lot of
duplication and both sides would
profit by the stimulating contacts.
/ IN many southern colleges there
are young Negro scholars who have
partially completed the require
ments for a higher degree and who
are pursuing dissertation research
projects while they are teaching.
Sometimes there are close at hand
white professors who could be of
much benefit to those Negro scho-
lars but who do not even dream of
their existence. The Negroes hest
tate to approach the white men for
advice because they are not GER
tain of the reception they would
get. There should be some way by
which these Negro scholars could
benefit by the advice and assist
ance Of professors of the white
race. This assistance should also
be extended to include special lee
lures or seminars by white profess
sors to students in Negro colleges
ut may also be necessary to re-
cognize In the future the fact that
certain lines of research should be-
long more and more to Negro scho-
lars. This is especially true Of re-
search projects which involve In
innate contacts with members of
the Negro race. There are some
things which a Negro scholar can
get at much easier than a white
scholar.
Whatever program for the fu-
ture development and coordination
of research in the South is adopted
should include Negro colleges and
Negro scholars. It should recog-
nize that there are some high
grade Negro institutions, and that

Death and Party
1HE DEATH of Governor Floyd B. Olsor
althnuuh believed imminent for some

THE DEATH of Governor Floyd B. Olson,
although believed imminent for some
time, leaves the Farmer-Labor party in
a critical position. Only by careful choice of
leadership can it hope to be strong in the i'm
pending campaign and choice of leadership
when the big leader is gone is inevitably diff
ficult.
Perhaps the most logical choice would
be to revise the ticket so that Elmer Benson,
appointed senator by Governor Olson, and
Hjalmer Petersen, governor by the death of
his predecessor, will run for reelection to
the offices they now hold. The offce-holder,
other things being equal, always has some
advantage over the aspirant, particularly
when his tenure has been brief as in the case
of both these men.
Olsons strategy and OratOry was count
ed on to bring Benson through as governor
against powerful Republican drive to elect
Martin Nelson while he (Olson) was gaining
the senate seat to which he had long aspired.
The governor realized that efforts to put in
practice his political ideas in one state were
stymied; that the only way many of the
changes might be tried was nationally. He
was willing to gamble loss of the state by his
party to step into the senate where he un-
doubtedly would have been leader among
progressive members.

Olson foretells the death in short order OF
the party he brought to power. There can
be no question but what the death of the
dominant figure in Minnesota politics by
long odds, brings his party TO crisis. The
future of that party depends upon how
worthy the untried underlings prove them
selves as they rise to power. Internal trou-
BILE this month and next will destroy the
party's chances beyond much doubt. On the
other hand it is possible to conceive of loyal
followers, inspired by devotion to their dead
leader, carrying on successfully.
It will depend on whether loyalty to 9
cause can triumph over personal ambitions.

Governor Olson

@NE'S VIEW of tOdayS prominent men,
J particularly in political life, is obscur-
ed by the party prejudices Americans
so frequently indulge in. The accomplish
ments of petty men are magnified if they be-
long to our party. The deeds of great men
are belittled if they happen to be of the op-
posing group.
There were many qualities about Gov
ernor Olson, however, which his enemies as
well as his friends admired, qualities which
drew men from opposing parties to him and
strengthened his position.
One was the fact that he never lost the
common touch. Born of the working class,
he was to the end the firm friend of the
worker. Labor's battles were his battles.
He joined the fighting as wholeheartedly in
off years as in campaign years.
A kindred attribute was his political
astuteness, the ability to continue to ride the
wave of popularity while others sank around
him. He has been called an "opportunist"
by his critics, but there was envy in their
voices.
His leadership was phenomenal. His
party at his advent to power was woefully
short of big men, almost totally lacking in
big names. While he has never had rival
in popularity during his six years, he has
carried with him into important elective Of
fees several who owe their position largely
to having been in his train.
He came to power at a time when the
public was demanding change, progressive,
even radical change. To as great an extent
as a more conservative legislature would
permit, he gave it to them. Some of his
ideas which became law undoubtedly will
endure. Many of the plans he sought to try
may yet be tried, some perhaps with success.
A master orator, he was able to instill
trust and enthusiasm where he had been
mistrusted and opposed Uncomplimentary
stories, whispered. spoken and printed con-
corning him failed to shake the great confd-
ence which the masses had in him.
His six years in the gubernatorial chair
make an interesting chapter in Minnesota
history, one which may long be the subject
of disputes yet must give him considerable
credit.

personality. Which certainly proves it isn't the

account of it's hot-bed of news

EVERYBODY'S HEALTH

Periodically the question of hair
dyes and their safety comes up
for the doctor to pass upon.
Today's bulletin from the Mimi
esota State Medical association re-
views, for the benefit of those who
are not satisfied with the color
that nature has bestowed upon
them, the current status of hair
dyes so far as safety is concerned.
There is no hair dye that is
harmless for all people, the medi-
cal bulletin asserts. The least
harmful are those made of combin-
ations of henna with the powder
ed leaves of Lawsonia inermis and
reng, or the powdered leaves Of
the indigo plant, indigo Fera-ar-
genta. Varying amounts of these
mixtures give colors varying from
blonde to black. Most people can
use dyes made of these substanc-
es safely though a few are SEN
sitive even to these and suffer

Propaganda

TT is A SAD fact about political campaigns
that so much of what is said is not said
sincerely and so much of what is whisp-
cred is untrue.
Every week we skim through several
envelopes full of propaganda sent out by
campaign headquarters. 1t is time wasted
because we never print any of the tripe
(few papers do but it is sent out in increas-
ing amounts each week. but it serves to en-
courage an independent attitude. Any party
captained by men willing to resort to such
methods can not be blindly supported with
any security.
But the stories that are whispered out
do even the yarns that get into print. The
candidates family, his ancestors, even his
most personal matters are subjects of In
sidious stories which he is powerless to COM
bat.

skin infammations as result.
More dangerous is silver, used
as dye, especially if it is careless
ly used. Dyes containing lead are
still advertised because they act
gradually and produce a fairly
satisfactory color. The danger of
lead poisoning is very great, how
ever, especially in the hands of
an amateur.
Anybody who dyes hair runs
the danger of discovering that he
is sensitive to one of the sub
stances used. The result may be
disagreeable If not actually dam
gerous. Fortunately, however, it
doesn't happen very often and
persons who wish to run the risk
should certainly take their pro-
blems to an expert hair dresser
because the amateur home dyer is
much more likely to get into
trouble.

Finish 1t Now

w VIHEN the southern part of highway II
w between Sanborn and Redwood Falls
was let this spring, Redwood Falls
was under the impression that the upper end
was next in line and would certainly be
completed this year.
Perhaps that is still che intention of the
highway department but bids have not been
called for and the summer is fast wearing
into fall. 1t requires at least month to
begin operations after letting is an
nounced.
1t is important not only to Redwood
Falls and Sanborn but to every town on
other parts of the route to have the work
cleaned up this year. Detours do just what
the word means to traffic. Close only a
small part of one north and south road and
others Immediately get much of the traf-
fic, resulting in the loss of considerable
tourist business, some of which is not re-
gained even when the improved road is
reOpened.
A detour has had it's effect on trade here
this summer, both tourist and local. 1t
would be big help to get the construction
work over in one summer rather than drag
it through two or three.
Furthermore it must be some saving to
the department to finish job while it's men
are here. The bid of contractors already on
the job should be more favorable than if
they had to come here. The two stretches
would be ready for further treatment at the
same time, resulting in some saving.
