which results in the pins being knock
ed right from under them.
saltwater GaZette-TheSe words OF
l.. P. Zimmerman, Minnesota relief adj
ministrator, are credited with causing
him to lose his job: Until politicians
will recognize that their duty to their
constituents is TO reduce the cost Of
caring for those on relief, rather than
trying to obtain votes of those on relief
by promising more liberal care, the
problem will not be solved"
Jackson Pilot-Persons competent to
know what they are talking about, de-
clare that normal moisture will never
be returned to Minnesota farming lands
until young forests have been planted
to take the place Of the woodlands
destroyed by the ruthless use Of the ak.
Re-forestation in certain parts Of Min
nesota is said to already have its
effects on the drouth of the past
number Of years.
Blooming Prairie Times-Nothing
makes an earnest party worker quite
so disguised after he has put in his
best ticks for the party in the cam
paign, as to see the party leaders ap-
point some 24-hour member of the
party who is not entitled to recognition
either from the standpoint of ability OF
party service.
Jackson Pilot-The greatest element
that is attributing to the disregard Of
law enforcement in America today il
the fact that we make too many laws
We make new laws too hurriedly, with
out careful consideration and otter
without careful consideration and otter
without sufficient reason. Congress!
and our state legislatures are too quick
to respond to the pressure of organized
minority groups, in behalf of legisla'
ton, the meaning and effect of which
is not understood until it has beer
placed on the statute books.
Eveleth Clarion-It is difficult II
ascertain where the report comes from
but one southern Minnesota newspaper
claims that enforcing the game law
against the natives of northern Mime
sofa is practically impossible because
local juries will not convict their fel
low poachers. Such report is entirel.
without foundation, because there is NJ
such idea up this way that game law
are made only for outsiders who come
up here to hunt and fish. The mum
Der of convictions in the northern par
of the state, which in many cases in
cludes local people, is proof that there
is law enforcement.
Duluth Free PreSS-The sentencing
last week by the local municipal cour
of Duluth barber to 40 days on thu
workfarm for having cut mans hal
for Is cents instead of charging thu
SO cents prescribed by the state law
appears to have been shock to thos,
Duluthians who were not aware tina
the price for this service had been fix
ed by the state.
Probably the most surprising thin
| in this connection is that so small
proportion of the people knew of thi
enactment by the last regular session
of the legislature. 1t is another de
monstration of how little attention tn
mass of the people pay to publ
| affairs. 1t also affords one of tn
answers to why our form of popula
government is not as successful a
could be desired.

Saltwater News-Help us figure on
this one. In it's questions and answer,
printed in Chicago daily, the pape

36,327, 100 married men in this countr
and 26,170,756 married women. Ac
cording to that, there are 10,156,35
married men who aren't married t
women. To what are they married?

Elysian Enterprise-The following
true: The man who grows up in hi
native town is regarded as boy b
his elders until he is well started dow
the declivity of life that ends in
hole. The stranger who comes into
place is more often pushed to tn
front than the young man who ha
grown up with the town. This is tn
reason why so many young men becom
dissatisfied with the home surrounding
and long to cast their lot in othe
| quarters.
