The press purging in the Soviet
states evidently is very closely linked
with the systematic attempt to weed
out undesirable elements from all
stages of political and social life; back
of it is the fear that the influence of

A King Comes Home.
Today King Farouk of Egypt will
ascend his throne; few days ago
he came back to his native country
from Europe where he had spent
about five months, and he was re-
ceived at Alexandria with tremen-
dous ovation, for he is the first in
dependent king of Egypt in four
centuries, the independence having
been brought about by the recent
Anglo-Egyptian treaty; for 400 years
the country was ruled by the Turks,
and during the last SIS years it has
been under British suzerainity. Now,
at last, it automatically at least
an independent nation, not under the
rule of Great Britain, but allied with
that mighty empire. The new king
will be 18 years old in February, 1888,
but, according to the Mohammedan
calendar, he will be 18 today, thus
qualified to wear the crown of the
ancient Nile realm.

Madrid, however, is still intact, but
whether it will be able to drive off
the attackers is still an unanswered
question. Last week things looked
pretty hopeful for the government;
today it does less so.
Deal With France.
"The Daily Herald" London, hears
from Paris that General Francisco
Franco, leader of the Spanish rebel
armies, is dissatisfied with the help
he received from Germany and Italy;
he is reported to have approached
the French government with pro-
posal that he will break off his re-
lations with Berlin and Rome and
send home the German and Italian
volunteers if - =! If France and
Russia will give no assurances of
friendship to the legitimate Spanish
government, and if France and Rus
STA will assure Franco of full equal
ity of recognition and treatment for
both belligerent groups; also, Franco
is said to have limited that he will
disengage himself from Rome and
Berlin if France and Russia will
recognize him as the legal ruler of
Spain in case the"febelS win an ultim-
ate victory.
There is a report current in Eu-
rope that Franco recently turned to
Germany and Italy with request
for military reinforcements; he re-
ceived negative reply. He then
asked whether he might obtain more
munitions and airplanes, and the
answer was that he might-if he were
prepared to pay for them. Assuming
this information to be correct-and
there is some reacon to believe that
it is-there does - not appear to be
much hope for D further assistance
rushing to Frances armies from the
two great fascist powers he has been
counting so implicitly on since the
beginning of the present conflict.
Press Purge.
In Moscow the "Pravda," one of the
important Soviet administration
newspapers, this week declared that
"all enemies must be mercilessly
thrown out of newspapers, magazines
and publishing houses"
1t develops that recently the gov
eminent thought it had detected
traces of hostility to itself in some
of the newspapers, and it is a COM
mon view in Russia that a good many
editors who suddenly have disap-
peared from their desks are jailed,
awaiting trial. The "Pravda" voices
a demand for politically uncontam-
mated newspaper workers; if they
are found to be tainted, they will
be either dismissed or jailed.
Lest one forget-there really was
a stipulation inserted in the Soviet
constitution of November, 1886, to
the effect that there should be I'M
restrained freedom of press in the
Russian republics But then-free-
dom has never been anything cate
gorical or absolute; it depends, very
largely, on individual Interpretation

creased somewhat so as to bring in
much greater returns than the 1888
law provided, our schools will profit
very little more.
The regular net income tax aid
is now set at $40 per child of ages
to Is inclusive on census list in
stead of 8 to Is inclusive. Other
prorated state school aids will be
paid this year at about 70 or 70
per cent instead of 81 per cent as
it was the past year.
Payment of all of our state aids
in full would have been possible
under the new net income tax sched-
ule. 1t would have helped Pine
county schools more than $4,000.
1t would have helped to reduce many
local school levies as much as 20
to 25 mills each. The state Senate
killed this provision of the new net
income tax bill that provided for US
ing the returns to pay state aids in
full.
Vacancies.
We still have five rural school
vacancies and not much interest
shown by available applicants. One
neighboring county has IL vacancies.
One of our teachers resigned last
week in district 80 to take much
smaller school with more pay in
Kanabec county. We hate to lose
our better teachers.
Renville county still has eight va
cancies and the salaries of rural
teachers there run from $40 to 500
per month. The average in Chisago
county is about $40 per month high
er than Pine. In February we called
attention to the general trend and
made the predictions that have since
come true.

citizens within the party and is quite out Of
sympathy with it's efforts and its hard work
The oldest and most interesting thing, how
ever, which marks these stories is that they one
and all seek to smear this group of realistically
minded citizens as nothing but bunch of trouble
makers, party wreckers who are out for selfish
ends.
All Stories Alike
When all the articles are laid side by side,
one is struck by the odd coincidence that, though
none of them are press association stories but
seemingly each with its own individual origina-
ton point, none the less they are all written in
the same tenor, the same vein-as though all
the writer's had been carefully fed from the same
source Of information.
The fact is that Mr.. Landon, though he may
not realize it, is being made to cut very sorry
figure in the public eye. The propaganda, as a
matter Of fact, is coming from small group of
Mr. Landon's own friends.
They see in him good political meal ticket.
They don't want to lose that ticket. They enjoy
a certain measure Of reflected glory-pale and
feeble though it may be with its luster tarnished
by the Smudge of the severe drubbing the party
received. But even that faint gimmer has
titillated their vanity their ego-made them
seem in their own eyes great makers and breakers
of destiny and history.
The net effect of their smear" campaign has
now grown to this:
That Mr.. Landon's friends are effectively
destroying whatever claims he might have
deserved from the voters. By their own publicity
efforts they inadvertently question the probity,
sincerity, reliability of ALI Landon, their own
friend.

home to go back to when you are unhappy or
confused is the greatest thing in the world. But
in recent years we have seen more and more
homes closed on account of high taxes and
because mothers do not want to be worried with
housekeeping problems when they can live so
easily in an apartment.
AS result, children hop into automobiles and
drive out to park in any lane that is handy and
half the poor things are so young they do not
know what it is all about Consequently they
are in trouble before they realize it.
Trend to More Discipline
The day of the chaperone, of course, is com.
pletely gone. Perhaps that is a good thing,
don't know. But it certainly throws tremendous
tresses me to see the utter lack Of dignity shown
by most girls today in their friendships with
boys I have asked so many girls why it is
they ring up the boys and make the dates, and
their answers always are: 'Well, if we sit home
with folded hands and do nothing, our best
friends get our beaus and that is the end of U.S."
But am confident the children of today will
realize that their freedom was too dearly bought,
and am willing to bet that many of them
will be just as strict with their children as our
parents were with us. The pendulum is swing
