MIR. Hopkins was in partnership
with a neighbor, Oscar Nyberg, in a
threshing rig and he with the neigh
bors had been busy on what after
ward proved to be his day of death.
The uncle, the uncle-in-law and the

the garden planted and titled by
PauPs own hands. They called at
tention to his fondness for melons
and that fruit was there in goodly
quantity. And there were carrots,

but that he had planned it all for

during the coming weeks of the sum-

1t was prosperous looking farm, with
the large barn, the silo, the newly
made straw stack, and the clean corn
field which has no peer in the COM
munity. The pleasant, winding road,
which leads from the public road to
the farm buildings was laid to be
more than a road; it pointed and
was to take the traveller or the caller
to a kindly and happy farm home
where Christian family was to
bid a friendly welcome. But it is
all gone and the Hopkins family is
now happy in the place beyond.
Boys Born on Farm.
Both boys, Paul 81, and Harlan II,

A group of young men, friends and

The Corrigan case reminds one OF
the peculiarities of we Americans
which trait makes it clear why we
have been a nation of leaders. Don't
you remember that Howard Hughes,
with the companionship of three 9TH
err men as crew and modern safety
and scientific instruments for their
welfare while in the air, just made
a trip around the world. Well, that
would, singly, have been received
with acclaim by we Americans and
was, until Corrigan made his breath
taking flight without modern instru-
ments and with a 5000 wreck" of
a plane, to Ireland. Immediately
Howard Hughes was just another
flyer, while the little Irishman is
the hero of the hour. The former
was a rich man with hobby and
the latter was poor boy with stout
heart and modest soul. After all,
we Americans honor courage and
modesty and that is what helps us
to progress.

HATE-CRUSADES

Until recently the Silver Shirt
racket has lain dormant in Mime
apolis since The Journal exposed its
years ago. Now it has bobbed up
again and its agents are busily pass
ing the hat among the gullible.
Chief Silver Shirt bid for attention
is antisemitism. Naturally many Min
neapolis Jews are greatly disturbed
by such an attack on their race. II
would be difficult for any man to
ignore such slanderous blasts against
his people as are poured out by the
Silver Shirt racketeerS in pursuit OF
the dimes and quarters of people
whose emotions and prejudices over
balance their intelligence.
Jews must recognize, however, that
they can claim no eXclusivenesS in
such affairs.
Race hatred, class hatred, religious
hatred are all fertile fields for the
racketeers
It is not the exclusive business OF
the Jews to take issue with the Sill
yer Shirt gang. What the Silver
Shirts are now preaching is only one
version of many Hate Crusades de-
signed to appeal to and extract money
from the supplemented, the jealous
the ignorant and the credulous. Ag-
greSsive intolerance is a challenge tC
every American and so is the threat
of persecution of any group or class
or creed.
There is simple, honest American
way to scotch these movements. The
veil of secrecy they throw around
their numbo-jumbo is a vital ele-
ment in their operations. Scandal
and SANDER that may sound impress
sive whispered in closed room with
the curtains drawn, has surprising
way of being ridiculous when uttered
in public in broad daylight and con-
trasted with the plain proven facts.
Hate-Crusade rackets cannot stand
publicity. They fade when stripped
of their mystery and secrecy.
The Journal is proud to have
scotched the Ku Klux Khan when il
entered Minneapolis some years ago
Publication of the facts about it killed
it dead as a mackerel here.
The Silver Shirts folded up two
years ago when The Journal showed
in black and white that it was a
racket founded on lies and prejudice
The present effort to revive it here
will fade away if its activities are
kept out in the open.
That is a job, not just for Jews
but for all of us.

Would Say
By A. w. CONAWAY

Census Director William L. Austin
has discovered whats keepin' 'en
on the farm in recent years." He
says that survey of 5000 farms ir
40 states showed that the level Of
living has risen materially since 1890
It revealed that seven out of every
ten farms have automobiles; six have
radios and four are lighted cleo
trically; three out of nine have water
piped into the dwelling and on two
of these into the bathroom. Three
out of eight have telephones and one
out of three have tractors.
I'll bet Northern Minnesota is not
included in the census, for with 25-
cents per pound butterfat, the YER
sion of the above mentioned census
would possibly read something like
this: The cost of living has risen
materially since 1880; seven out of
ten farms have automobiles ;. with
empty gas tanks; six have radios Gin
the attics); four are lighted electri-
cally but fortunately it seldom
strikes; three out of nine have water
in the Easements . and two
of these all the way up into the bath
room; three out of eight have tele-

The Irish have it; young Douglas
Corrigan flew by mistake, recently
from New York to Ireland. And talk
about American humor; the captain OF
the Liner Manhattan, who brought
him home, said the fellow did not
know thing about navigation. Well
all I can say is that there must be
something in the Irish which can draw
them to each other, for he surely
found the little spot in the ocean to
land in

Can't Stand The
Light

The Minneapolis Journal re-
Gently contained an editorial en-

contained much food for thought.
1t exposes the fact that many
crusades of hate cannot stand the
true light of public opinion and
among them is the present Silver
Shirt movement, which is a rack
ct offering antisemitism as a new
bait to the gullible public. Fol-
lowing is the Journal editorial in
itS entirety.
