TRIBUTE TO OLSON

Lieutenant Governor Hjalmar
Petersen, who succeeds to the gov

sofa since the death of Floyd B.
Olson, upon learning of the death
of Mr.. Olson issued the following
statement:
Our span of life is limited. We
must all go some time, but it is in
deed saddening when an individual
in the prime of life is called away
from his earthly duties. Governor
Olson had enjoyed exceptional exper-
fence in public life at his age. At
As he had been governor of great
commonwealth for nearly six years.
A natural diplomat, and with his
forcefulness as an oratOr-one of the
best in the nation-his keen intellect,
his far-sighted vision and his win
ming personality he was destined to
be a national leader in the United
States Senate.
We all have a mission in this
world. His, it appears, was to give
impetus to a liberal political move
ment, and that he did we'll.

IGNORANCE in ACTION
Editor Askoy American:

Editor ASkOV American:
The Republicans have accused the
New Deal as being impractical ideal
ism, for IL years we saw the Repub-
licans running the country in a very
ignorant manner. High idealism in
action may have it's drawbacks, but
the very worse thing in this world
is ignorance in action, such as we saw
from 1921 to 1888, when the super
men were in charge. There can be
no question that we will see ignor-
ance in action in its very worst form,
should by any remote chance the
Republicans win.
The strategy of the Republican cam
paign is still harping on that the Re
publican party has been made more
liberal than formerly and that new
this contention a little. In former
days even during the period between
1921 and 1898, the Republican party
had such outstanding liberals as La
Toilette of Wisconsin, Senator john
son of California, Brookhart of Iowa,
Senator Norris of Nebraska, and many
others-all these progressives have
long ago deserted the Republican par
ty and endorsed President Roosevelt.
1t would seem nearly childish to think
that if the Republican party had had
a change of heart that these great
men would not recognize it. Senator
Norris, after the Cleveland convention
came out flat-footed and said that
"the old guard was apparently
still in control of the Republican par
ty." He endorsed President Roose-

FOR SAFER HIGHWAYS

With the tremendous number of
automobiles on the highways now and
it seems more are coming, it behOoves
each motorist-in fact each person.
pedestrians included-to observe traf-
fic rules and to study how to make
the highways safer for all of us.
Reckless speed will not always get
us there quicker. Perhaps almost ev-
cry one has noted during his or her
years of driving at some time or an
other, how speeding auto has passed
and vanished from sight down the
road, apparently due to get to its
destination much quicker, and how a
short distance down the road that
same auto was passed either killing
lunch room, or maybe fixing a tire
along the road. In the long run the
slower, steady driver will reach the
destination almost as soon and much
safer.
Statistics show that we'll over half
of all fatal accidents last year oc-
Cured at night and SO per cent of the
victims were pedestrians. Uncon-
sciously many motorists "overdrive
their headlights In other words
they drive faster than the open space
of vision will permit stopping safely.
More powerful lights are no cure for
this condition as they produce a glare
thus increasing the danger of headon
collisions.
Then too, the pedestrian needs edu-
cation. Good highway ethics, accord
ing to those who have made study
of causes of accidents, demand that
people on foot, walk on left hand side
of the road facing traffic.
The coroner is kept working over
time because pedestrians insist on
walking along the highway just as
though they owned the whole thing
and do not even bother to carry a re-
Hector or to wear light clothing.
None of us are free from some form
of carelessness on the highways, but
we all should know our weaknesses
and it is up to us to correct our own
faults before meddling too much with
the other fellows. However, the prob.
lem of safety on the highways is ev.
erybody's problem and everybody will
have to solve it.

McNEIL-TYRE
VOWS SPOKEN
Bride Is Popular Among Young and
Old In the Sandstone
Community.

A wedding of particular interest to
James Tyre home in that village Sat
urday afternoon at 4 o'clock with
Rev. John A. Hughes conducting the
service. The principals were, Miss
Margaret Tyre, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. James Tyre of Sandstone, and
Mr.. Charles Mcneil, son of George
Mcneil of FOreston. Attendants of the
couple were Miss Jean Tyre, sister
of the bride, as bridesmaid, and Mr..
Robert Gillard of Minneapolis, as best
man.
The pre-nuptial music consisted of
two vocal solos by Mrs. Paul N. Fro
ker of AskOv, who sang, Because"
and 20 Promise Me-" accompanied on
the piano by Miss Florence Thalin of
Minneapolis. The wedding march was
played by Mrs. Froker.
The groom, former Sandstone
young man, is of good character and
has worked internationally toward get
ting an education and making a ca
reer for himself. The bride likewise
has fine qualities and has spent most
OF her life in Sandstone where she
went through the public schools and
in later years has been an efficient
employe in the Sandstone office of
the Minnesota Power & Light Co. She
is the daughter of a couple who have
long figured in the industrial and So
cial life of the Quarry City commun-
ity, her father being one of the own
ers of the Sandstone Quarries Com
pany and active in it's management.
She and her groom have rightfully
earned the we'll wishes of a large
circle of friends.
Immediately following the cere-
mony reception was held at the
Madison hotel for approximately 40
guests. After this the couple left on
a wedding trip. and at its completion
will make their home in Minneapolis
where the groom is employed by the
Walgreen Drug Co.
Those from away who attended the
wedding ceremony were, George Nc
Neil, Foreston; Mrs Ralph Mcclure
and daughter, Marilyn, Miss Florence
Thalin, Mr.. and Mrs. John McFar-
lane and two sons, Mr.. and Mrs. D.
M. McFarlane and daughter, Betty,
Mr.. and Mrs. L. J. Strom, Mr.. and
Mrs. Herb COLLECT, Mr.. and Mrs. Rob-
ert Gillard, all of Minneapolis; Miss
Francis Mcneil and Mr. and Mrs. L.
w. Wagnild of Superior, Wis.,; and
Mr.. and Mrs. Paul N. Froker of Askov.

welt. This should answer the ques-
tion whether the Republican party
has turned liberal-they certainly
have not.
The Republican party has promised
broader distribution of wealth. Mr..
Knox, the candidate for vice president,
has emphasized that this is necessary,
in several of his speeches. Let us see
how he proposes to do this. He does
not advocate higher wages, but adj
vocates that employees buy stock in
the companies they work for and in
that way get the benefit of prosperity
through dividends-now this on the
face of it may sound quite plausible.
But the records show that this has
been tried before and was tried during
the period that ended in 1888. The
average employe can buy so very lit
tie stock that he will have no voice
in the management. Usually his
stock will be non-voting stock.
When the big boys get ready to
clean up. the little fellows not having
any representation in policies of the
corporation, are cleaned up. This
happened in 1929. The poor employe
who had bought stock at high prices
and had given note as part payment
was cleaned out as he could not cover
the margin. He was left in the cold
and will again be left in the cold If
rugged individualism is brought back.
Human nature is that way; unless a
person holds the whip hand he will
eventually lose out. When a person
loses control of his earnings and turns
it over to someone else to manipulate
he is bound to lose it. If the Repub-
licans can not think of better plan
to re-distribute wealth, they are hope
less-as they are.
