RESOLUTIONS RESOLUTIONS {!

Editor Askov American:
Well, WE'LL the Hon. Hjalmar Peter
sen has succeeded in putting the fear
of God into the hearts of the Mexican
Generals: they are surely scared stiff
for fear that their fat jobs will be
lost, and so, we learn by reading the
papers, they have commandeered the
Farmer-Labor club composed in
many cases of the smaller job holders
to pass resolutions commencing their
supposed leader, the Governor, for
his noble work of keeping them in Of
flee and increasing taxes with which
to meet increased demands for SAL
aries. and condemning the Hon. HAL
mar Petersen, who while governor let
it be known that service for the emo
lument would. be required and if not
given, out they would go.
Well, we should not blame the
Mexican Generals, nor the few club
members that pass the resolutions.
Their jobs are at stake and the life
of the common people is hard one;
but it is but very little consolation
to the rest of us.
And from reports coming in from
all over the state, it does appear that
the Real Farmer-Laborites" are
looking for leader who as governor
will endeavor to be fair to all the
people of the state, including the
Mexican Generals.
That man might be Hjalmar Peter
sen. if he should choose to run. He
has been able to paddle his own canoe,
and many of us believe that he also
is capable to steer the Ship of State
into smoother waters.

Anti-Lynching Bill Dead

With the talk against lynching
quite general during the past few
years the action of leaders in the
United States Senate in agree
ing to shelve the Wagner Anti
lynching bill for this session is
interesting and even deplorable.
Many outrages have been per-
petrated in the past, especially
in the South, due to enraged citi-
zens taking the law into their
own hands and perhaps many
times taking the life of an inno-
cent suspect.
At any rate lynching is not the
true American way of solving
crime, in fact it more nearly turns
back history pages to the days of
wild west when a suspect was
shot and questions were asked
afterward The st. Paul Dispatch
recently contained an interesting
editorial on the shelving of the
bill; it follows:
Reports from Washington indicate
that Senate leaders have agreed to
shelve the Wagner anti-lynching bill
until the next session of Congress,
because of its controversial nature
and the necessity for attending to
emergency measures before adjourn
ment. Many times before legisla-
ton which would act as a curb on
lynching has been showed aside on one
pretext or another. The untimely
demise of the Wagner bill is partic-
ularly tragic because similar leglS-
lation had already passed the lower
house, an action previously unpre-
cedented.
While no one can blame the sena-
tors for wanting an early adjourn
ment, and for their desire to avoid
the warm debate which anti-lynching
legislation inevitably entails, shelving
of such an important bill smacks OF
selfish political, rather than states
manlike, attitude. If the bill had
had no chance of success, there might
be some reason in putting it aside
The opposite is the case, however
The -anti-lynching bill was
sure of passage by safe albeit mar
row margin, the division being al
most strictly on sectional lines. The
southern senators and some in the
border states either do not believe
that lynching should be treated as +;
national problem or they do not fine
it politically expedient to vote theil
actual beliefs.
Anti-lynching legislation, then, il
dead for this session of Congress
It is certainly not to the credit of th'
Senate that they should set aside, a
unimportant, bill which would cop'
with a problem which has long beer
stain on American law enforcement

Lateral Roads
To Continue In
Hands OF State
Commission Refuses Request;
Commissioners May Persist
In Fight

DR.. Homer E. Tabler, chairman
of the State Roads Commission, an
nounced Monday the request of the
Montgomery County Commissioners
for return of the lateral roads Of
the county and the funds for their
maintenance has been denied.
DR.. Tabler said the commission
found that the legislative acts trans.
ferring the roads to the supervision
of the State department did not pro-
vide for their return to the coun-
ties. The commission will continue
its supervision of the roads.
The Board of Commissioners OF
Montgomery County had sent the
commission resolution asking that
the county's share of the IN cent
gasoline tax be turned over to it
saying the county board would as
sumo all responsibility for construc-
ton and maintenance Of latera,
roads.
The lateral, or dirt roads of all
the counties were transferred to the
State highway department in 1885
by legislative act with authority
to finance their upkeep from tn.
gasoline tax. The law was re
enacted in 1895 and early this year
each time for two years.
The return of the lateral roads
to the county has been favored by
three commissioners, Richard H
Lansdale, Paul e. Coughlan and
Robert d. Hagner. 1t is understood
that a further fight for control Of
the roads will be made.

NUTRIENT

By THE OBSERVER

THE SCHOOL PROBLEM, like
that of pauperism, we will always
have with us. And one of the most
important phases of the school ques-
ton now being agitated is: What
Shall We Do About Closing The
County Schools? Will it come to a
point where every little red school.
house will be torn down? Will consol-
idation be carried to the extent that
all children just reaching school age
have to stand out in the rain and
snow awaiting a bus which arrives at
an hour when the tiny tots should be
still be in Sunderland?
IT SEEMS ALMOST criminally
negligent to permit system where
boys and girls of six and seven meet
school bus under all sorts of wealth
er conditions at seven or seven-thirty
A. NJ, ride from five to ten miles over
bad roads and then hang around the
school from noon until time for the
big boys and girls to go home. Some
parents seldom see their children, ex-
cept in their nightclothes.
THE PARENTS ARE against such
system. The circulation of petitions
prove it. One such petition was taken
around this week in an effort to keep
open the public school at Unity. We
have reason to believe that every par
ent in the neighborhood signed the
request. Others, not parents, but good,
substantial citizens of the community,
also wrote down their names out Of
sympathy for their neighbors. AL
though the conditions in this particu-
lar neighborhood are somewhat bet
ter suited for the use of buses than in
other rural districts, parents are
loathe to approve consolidation where
it affects the very young children.
THERE SHOULD BE some ade-
quate solution. We believe that the
School Board and DR.. Broome will
work out plan feasible to the school
officials and satisfactory to the par
ents and taxpayers. Montgomery
County has good school plant and
excellent men and women running it.
Surely, they do not relish situation
such as arose recently in an adjacent
county.
THIS COLUMN PROPOSES: Why
not conceive plan whereby children
can continue to occupy the little red
school house until they reach the
fourth or fifth grades? This would
bring the child up to a satisfactory
age so that mothers need not fear for
the youngsters health and safety.
one teacher, even on a part-time
basis, could handle the job and the
expense shouldn't be prohibitive. Per-
sonally, we believe in a school for
every community if there is any way
on earth to have it. The school is just
as important as the church and the
general store.

Of $1,000 Made
County Hospital
Two Sisters Contribute To
Campaign; Committees
Are Named

"A gilt OF $l,OUO has been made
anonymously by two sisters to the
campaign for $4,000 for enlargement
OF the Montgomery County General
Hospital which opened Monday, it was
announced this week.
The funds will be devoted to build
ing q nurses home. a new mems
ward, a morgue. alterations to the
office and diet kitchen, a heating
plant and other new equipment.
More than 100 Montgomery and
Howard County citizens met Monday
evening, June IA, at the Manor Club
for the dinner which officially opened
the Montgomery County General Hos
pital Campaign to raise a $4,000
Building and Equipment Fund. Con-
tributions amounting to $500 had
been raised prior to the meeting.
Clarence B. Hurley, Chairman of
the campaign, acted as POSTMASTER
and introduced the various speakers.
Senator Joseph L. Donovan, of
Howard County, expressed apprecia-
ton for the services which the Hos
pital is rendering to the citizens of
Howard County.
Charles F. Brooke, for many years
President of the Hospital Board, in
troduced the Board of Directors.
DIR. Bird Reviews
DIR. Jacob w. Bird, Chairman of the
Executive Board of the Hospital, who
reviewed the hospitals growth since
its founding in 1920 as neighbor-
hood project, told those present that
now more than 85 per cent of the
patients Of the hospital come from
sections beyond five mile radius,
making the hospital, countrywide
institution. DIR. Bird paid tribute to
the Woman's Board which has, yea.
after year, provided donations of
food linen and cash, aggregate of
which would be well over $4,000.
Wilson L. Townsend of Kensington
said that he recognized the services
of the Montgomery County General
Hospital as combination of the COM
fort and friendship offered the family
by the general practitioner OF former
days, and the modern scientific ap-
proach in medicine.
DR.. Herbert Schoenfeld of Washing
ton observed that from experience
through travel throughout the United
States and abroad he was able to rate
the Montgomery County General Hos
pitfalls facilities and services in the
highest class. The fact that the hos
pital is planning expansion, ne be-
lieves shows it's progressive attitude
and recognition of the fact that moth
ing can stand still. Therefore, both
equipment and plant must be improv-
ed to keep it from going backward.
He congratulated the Hospital Board
on this step.
Old Customs Recalled
DIR. Upton D. Nourse recalled the
days when physicians found it diff
cult to arrange disqualification for
their patients. He told of occasions
when patients had to be carried to
railroad stations, often being trans
ported in horse and buggies or
wagons; then loaded upon the train,
taken to Washington and then trans
ported to the hospital. He rejoiced in
the fact that the Montgomery County
General Hospital had made it possible
for the County Doctors to provide
