scientious cooperation help that
majority to make good the
promise made in the heat of a
campaign.
Eternal vigilance is the price
of liberty" said one of the great
men of America. So watch while
you cooperate. Watch the record
while it is in the making. See
that the door to the state house
stands open. This was one of the
promises of all the candidates.
Watch the legislature when it is
assembled. Save some of the cam
paign literature in which all the
aspirants bound themselves to the
furtherance of legislation in the
interests of Minnesota's people.

Poetic Thoughts
MilepOsts
By MORRIS GIBBS, Sr.

MllepOStS
In human beings life there are different stages
That show growth down through the ages
For progress is made by pioneers of worth
Who not for wealth or lack of mrth
Mileposts signs which designate the way
To go through life's journey and not stay
Too long or tarry in idle pleasure,
For time thus spent brings only
All signs have purpose to either or describe
The direction should go and how to provide
The best of travel, location and fare,
So that really knows he'll get good care
The journey may be long or it may be short,
Depending upon the time we have to cavort,
But still we shouldn't allow ourselves to ever forget
That mileposts of love overcome any regret.
And while your life's mlestones roll on day by day.
You may see danger signal come into play,
You'll recognize it easily; do not make detours
But travel the straight and which eliminates false

mistake, beat her with his revolver and threaten to mar her face.
 When he wasn't drinking, he pushed the memory aside and they got along together. But during one of his wild outbursts of jealousy over that long past incident, his cowed wife tried to frighten him, and killed him instead.
 The jury acquitted the woman, and that one case Is closed.
 But what of other brides who are faced with the same problem? What are they to do? Take this Not" vote as final?
 No. For this is one question they will have to decide for them selves.
 First, they ought to understand that "To tell or not to tell" is no longer a question of right or wrong but 8 matter of common sense.
 If a wife has the mental make up to say: That is 8 closed incl dent; I'm sorry 1t happend, but 1t has nothing to do W1tn my love for my husband and my deter mination to be a good wife" - her course is clear. And 1t doesn't include confession.
 But If a wife knows she will ale ways be nagged by her secret mem- ory, she had better out with it. For psychologists quote cases of women who have become mental wrecks from breeding over secret sin"
 There is no right answer for everyone. A woman has to de- eide this question in the light of what she knows about herself.
 It won't be easy. Questions never are when they get out of the realm of black and white right and wrong to the grey feaIm of com- mon sense.
 There is only one sure way ot beating the question. And that as your grandmother might have told you = is to avoid the necessity of ever being faced by 1t.

I scheme of collections, but they suffer none the less. Or perhaps all the more.
 Wrecks Feeling of Security
 Older people usually have some way out in their minds, or if they haven't they face it and accept it as just one more blow that life deals out every now and then. But chil- dren don't analyze to this extent. They add things on and make them- selves miserable.
 It may be money matters, or it may be something else. Perhaps daddy says, If this arthritis of mine doesn't get better soon, I'm going to be out of work"
 Suddenly the world seems to slip right from under the chil- dren's feet. We say so glibly that children don't worry, just because they don't say much, and appear to be indifferent to family well fare. But this is not true. One thing children have to face, and this Is feeling of security. Thanks to the delivers into men, tai hygiene, we know this to be true.
 Children have to have a con- sciousness of security or they dc strange things. They don't go out and jump off bridges, but they re- act in their own way. Maybe they behave abominably. Maybe they won't study or they won't get up or they won't stay at home. Again they may stop absorbing the nourishment from their food even, though they eat vel enough. Or they just get cranky or cry a lot. These things, oi course, can result from other causes than worry over the fu- ture, but I think the light needs to be turned on this contributing factor of behavior problems.
 Let Temperament Guide ! Many matters are the affairs oi parents, only. Again, however, j conditions need not all be secret Children cannot escape all knowl- edge of trouble, nor should they, be- cause it must be ingrained in them I1AdI AA1C AlCdAlS cAAOkt, ohCAAAACC, oCS- backs and what not. The common cause should count. It as foolish to let them live in a fools paradise as to burden their unprepared shoul- ders with unfair loads. But age, as well as temperament, should be counted in when parents are having their discussions in the hearing of the famiy. And, of course, careful consideration of the subject to be aired.
 When there is only so much money to be spent, it won't hurt children to oe aware of necessary economy, and to help as best they can. It Is not good thing for either parent to complain in the open too much, but 1t is not fair either to pretend Q nonresident flushness. But you know all this, I am perfectly sure. I do give credit to all the wise parents of the world, who try so hard to judge exactly the things child should know.
