world. Forces released by the great
war have upset many ancient
standards and authorities. Different
PHILOSOPHERS of government, of ethics,
of religion, contend for supremacy.
There is much confusion and turmoil.
You young people going forth to-
day, will be challenged to take sides
and to espouse various causes and
ideals. I beg of you not to be hypno-
tized and caught by catch-words and
slogans, fixations or daydreams. Be
neither conservative nor a radical
just because your father or your
grandfather happens to be one or the
other. We must as individuals think
our way to our own conclusions and
then have the courage to stand by
them. So far as possible let us
consider these great public issues
without prejudice or selfishness, but
soberly and when possible, scienti-
fically.
/ Our young friends, these graduates
whom we are proud of and honor
this evening are passing milestone
of their lives and they will in later
years look back to these hours in
Joy and in pride. Milestones are
not millstones but guide posts, separ-
ating our various routes of travel and
pointing the way.
These young people are a picked
group of the nation, comparatively
selected few who have had the OPP
portunity for a generous education.
1t is safe to say that most of them
could not have this but for the sac
rifice and devotion of parents, the
forebearance and kindness of teach
ers and the amplitude and wisdom
of the great republic which opens
wide the doors of the common school
and the high school to the poorest
child. To these we should be eter-
nally grateful for they have placed
us under obligation.
Because of this educational pro-
cess these young people become the
embodiments of the highest ideals
and aspirations which the elders cher
iSh and reverence. In a very real
sense the youth here assembled are
acknowledgements; they should stand
for quality, patience and wisdom in
an America which is still all too
vulgar and semi-civilized.
AS these young people go forward
to meet life, our hearts, hopes and
fears are all with them. Our SUI
preme wish for them is that they
may remain true to their highest
youthful ideals The world will ex-
pose them to low motives and paltry
ambitions There never was greater
need of the service which educated
young men and women can render
the republic.
My young friends, today the STAN
dard of leadership is committed to
your hands. See that you hold it
high, always in advance. Be true
to your best selves, and to your fell
lOW-ServantS.

THE HEADLIGHT HOG"
(St. Paul DiSpatch)

The order of Chief John p Arnoldy
to his Minnesota highway patrol to
concentrate on the headlight hog" is
welcome.
This timely action follows the gen.
eral poor condition of Minnesota
headlights revealed by patrol check
ups on nearly 5000 motor vehicles
throughout the state. Thus far, half
the cars examined at the testing sta
tons were found to have defective
headlights. Assuming the automo-
biles that have been checked are a
fair crosS-section of Minnesota's mo-
tor vehicles, a dangerous safety haz-
ard exists in the state which should
be corrected Immediately.
This statewide testing campaign
also reveals that drivers enormously
pay more attention to the condition
of their brakes than to their lights.
Ten per cent of the brakes are de-
fective against so per cent of the
headlights. Yet an analysis of the
Minnesota motor vehicle fatalities by
the Minnesota Public Safety Commit
tee shows that improper lights are
responsible for one and one-half times
as many fatal accidents as are de-
fective brakes.
Glaring headlights are one of the
greatest nuisances and worst dangers
of night driving. By correcting i'm
proper lights, the patrol can do good
work for highway safety.

CALLS ON PROGRESSIVES


The land of the ten thousand lakes
are calling you to spend your vaca-
ton here. Ideal climate, boating,
fishing, cabins while you sleep, and
nature is calling you to enjoy its
wonderful gift to humanity. Oh
what a dream for a farmer. Is this
meant for you? You that lost your
farm through foreclosure and still
never enjoyed an hour at the lake
side? Is it meant for you who still
is working sixteen hours on the farm
trying to make both ends meet? Oh,
yes, two weeks vacation with half pay
or less We farmers have it on the
milkstool fighting flies and having
old bossy swat us in the face with
a dirty tail and then of course we
need bath. Is it not wonderful to
stick your feet in the old washtub
and take a dive quarterly one fourth
at time. How about some propa-
ganda on the ''Missus" to raise the
water level an inch or two?
Work and slave, do not think of
organizing, you might gain some
thing, perhaps self respect, and the
coupon clippers and scFlemers would
not find any suckers to bite when they
take their rounds of vacation trips
to see how fine you are getting along.
If you have no butterfat to sell look
around the fences, you may find some
old scrap iron for four cents per
