TURNS INTO BOOMERANG


Scoop Lohmann's ridicule of Har-
old Stassen's radio speech the same
night as the Benson keynote, in
which he referred to it as being I'M
sportsman like to take radio time
on the same evening as a candid
ate's keynote, turned into a BOOM
erang. AS soon as Scoop sent his
caustic statement over the air, lay
ing 1t to Stassen's "thoughtlessness
and boyishness," he began to hear
from Springfield, from where Stas-
sen made his address.
The heads of the Springfield
Sauerkraut celebration, who had in
vited both Stassen and Benson, had
made their arrangements long be-
fore the Benson keynote day was
set, and Mr.. Lohmann had to back
water with his accusations. Perhaps
he was also a little "thoughtless"
in his remarks. And after all,
Scoop isn't so old either.-Hutchin-

THE GOVERNOR
HATES NEWSPAPERS

Corrupt, immoral, dishonest, no
good" Those are strong words.
Even singly, they should be used
sparingly and with great care, for
they are damaging in the extreme,
If unjustly applied. Together, they
combine to form a condemnation
which, for sheer vituperation, is sell
dom equalled in our language.
Corrupt, immoral, dishonest, no
good" A whitening blast that
would do justice to an old time
country preacher assailing the
wickedness of the towns gamblers,
drunkards and debauchers. Invec-
tive that by reason of it's uncom-
promising ferocity, is reserved for
the low and wicked things of the
world.
But this livid denuciation springs
from the mouth of no wrathful
preacher. 1t is a hateful, blanket
villification of the newspapers OF
Minnesota, poured out by the gov
ernor of the state, Elmer A. Ben
son, at public meeting in Red
wood Falls.
Benson, the liberal! No man was
ever more bitterly intolerant of
those who disagree with him; more
narrowly prejudiced against those
who do not conform to his cantan-
kerous philosophy of government
and economics. He is the very an
tithesis of liberal mind.
Governor Benson hates newspap-
ers (meaning, Of course the "reac-
tionary press"0 because they do not
support his administration. OF
course, they don't. And what else
could the Governor expect, great
believer in rigid party politics that
he says he is? In keeping with
the theory of party politics to which
he claims to adhere, would he sup
pose that republican newspaper
would sing his praise any more than
he would expect the Minnesota
Leader to pronounce a benediction
on the words and deeds of the OPP
position?
Granted that by virtue of this
reasoning, the Governor does not
expect much help from the news
papers, it is only natural then, that
because they fulfill these expecta-
tons, he should dislike them-even
hate them, perhaps. But corrupt
immoral, dishonest, no good"--such
language!
The outrageousness of Governor
Benson's opprobrium is approached
only by it's righteousness and, hap
PLY, is nullified by that very quail
ity.

being made to the problem of long

bureau is chiefly concerned with accu-
rately foretelling what will be happen
ing SO hours in advance To do this, it
is putting new emphasis on studies OF
the upper air. The great masses OF air
which travel high over the earth fall
into four major classihcations - polar.
continental, marine and equatorial.
The masses themselves do not cause

weather. Weather is caused by COL
lision of one mass with another. A
warm mass, for example, will wedge
itself under cold mass, rise and have
rain shaken from it. Hence the
weather mans job is to watch the
progress of cold or warm front
across the country Knowing its speed
and its direction he can predict what
weather will accompany it. And,
incidentally, the bureau S 36-hour FORE
cast is IS per cent accurate.
The movements of these air masses
explain the freakish weather expert
enced last summer. At that time
mass of polar air stalled over the
eastern seaboard and drenched that
area for days as it mixed with warm
moist air seeping up from Bermuda.
Meanwhile this great, stalled mass
damned up other masses all the way
across the United States, leaving COM
munities with the weather they had at
the moment motion ceased. Thus,
while Montana and Washington

The Weather Bureau won't predict
what kind of winter is to be expected.
1t maintains, with some justification,
that no one knows what weather will
be beyond 36-hour period.
No one, of course, does know. Yet

Have a pan ready to catch the dirty
water. Insert the end of the snake in
the outlet of the trap and twist and
push it through the pipe until you

place the plug and flush with hot

trouble is to have your plumber install

be placed under your sink or in the
cellar under your kitchen.
Stoppage in a toilet is probably due
to the fact that the passage at the base
of the bowl has clogged. For this con-
dltion we again use the suction cup.
Push the rubber end into the outlet of
the toilet and work it up and down
rapidly so as to build up powerful
suction. A minute or two of this will
usually suffice to remove the obstruc
ton.
Another annoyance is the failure of
the water to shut off completely after
flushing toilet Most homes are

In conclusion drawn from data

those not really able to do the work
or else to lower their standards.
Facts of the study showed than San

capped children prevented even a good
teacher from achieving normal sue
cess with the non-handicapped por-
ton of her pupils"
Study of the mental ages of the
pupils showed that the mean for the
Negro in each grade is lower than
that for the white students, while the
chronological ages showed the mean
for the Negro in each grade to be
greater than that for the white.
Both group and individual tests
were used by white and Negro ex-

schools which were located in a coun-

Establishment of the special grade

pointed out would help alleviate the
situation.
