when drownings find their place in the head
lines. Most such accidental deaths are the
result of failing to observe common rules re-
garding conduct in the water or, in the case
of children, unsupervised swimming and
Wading.
GUILTY OF FIXING A JURY, A ST.
Paul man is serving a six months jail term.
1t seems to put buying jurors on the same
plane with stealing loaf of bread-less
serious than breaking into a neighbours
chicken coop. One would debate longer on
making bride proposal to a juror if a flat
ten year trip to Saltwater was the certain
penalty.
THE DAILY REPORTS OF THE
slaughter going on in Spain are horrible,
yet what about our daily slaughter in this
country? A responsible accident insurance
company reports: That one person is killed
every IA minutes in this country through
automobile accidents. That one person is
killed every five minutes in this country in
some form of accident.-ex:
A MOVEMENT IS UNDERWAY AT
Worthington to replace the cityS old-fash-
Toned charter, drawn up in 1909. The Worth
ington document probably is model COM
set-up of the hitching post era under which
Redwood Falls operates. Sometime back in
the sos we got our charter which every
council for decade or two has agreed needs
complete renovation but none has got
around to tackle the task.
SENATOR SHIPSTEAD RECEIVED
a high compliment in one of the states con-
sentative papers this week when political
columnist suggested that the appointment
of federal Judge probably is being delayed
as bait for our senior senator on the presi-
dents supreme court plan. The columnist
went on to say that those who know Ship
stead feel he will vote his convictions with
out regard to bait.
No matter how Loyalty one supports
political party or a president, he cannot de-
fend buying and selling support for admin
stration measures on a basis of political
favors any more than any other form OF
bribery.
Back in 1888 there was justification for
giving the president a free hand in dealing
with a situation which might otherwise have
wrecked the nation. The time has long since
passed when the legislative branch of the
government should have reassumed it's nor
NAL place in our scheme of government.
The presidents powers as legislative
boss and his attempts to deal with the judi
cial branch have given governors the idea
that they, too, should interfere with legisla-
lures and talk roughly about judges whose
function is not under their jurisdiction.
THE UNITED STATES EMPLOY
ment Service offers some interesting figures
on unemployment. For example, of over ten
million applications for jobs in the last two
years, about one-fourth are classified as
without recent work experience" indicat-
ing they either didn't work in good times or
are young people seeking their first jobs.
Either way their cases are not the product
of the depression.
Agriculture and allied industries was
the classification of slightly more men than
were seeking places in industry, an unex-
pected quirk More persons sought work
in the domestic and personal service group
than in wholesale and retail establishments,
indicating maids and buffers were consider
ed luxury in many homes during the econ
omic pinch
Smallest class, about third of mil
lion, was that of professional, commercial
and financial workers. A total of 1000
expressed desire to work for Uncle Sam
and AL 900, in public utilities and transport
alton. Slightly less than a million applied
for jobs in the construction industry.
The youth of today who quits school
and fails to learn trade should heed the
warning that unskilled men are harder hit
than skilled and professional men when jobs
become scarce.
