TINE WAS WHEN A STATE ELEC

TIME WAS WHEN A STATE ELEC-
ton was state affair, to be decided by the
citizens of a state. Ali that is gone since
the new deal adopted meddling policy
which even new dealers resent, particularly
when the federal government bets on sew
cral horses. In Minnesota, Farley has
chosen Gallagher which is all very well.
Many expect the president will take time
out to say my Friend Elmer before the
election. Ryan is a resident Of the state so
his my Friend Harold hardly counts, but
if it appears Stassen may win, the words
may be echoed from some Washington new
deal big wig. Endorsements are cheap and
harmless, If you make enough of them.

ONE OF THIS DEPARTMENTS FAV-
orite pastlmes is passing on tips of sub
scribers as to how Redwood Falls can be
improved. This weeks subscribers sugges-
ton is that WPA project be obtained to
employ men trimming boulevard trees, work
that could be done summer, winter, spring
or fall whenever men and a capable fore
man are available. The appearance of the
town would be improved, street lighting
would be bettered. by eliminating overhang-
ing branches and where limbs were remov-
ed from electrical wires, static. producers
would be eliminated. The proposal is worthy
of consideration. >* -
THAT YOUTH WHO GAINED MUCH
publicity by leaping from a New York hotel
window was almost persuaded to postpone
his jump when friend, knowing his weak
ness for baseball, suggested they go out to
game.
Whose playing?' the youth asked.
The Giants and Dodgers" was the re-
I'D rather die than watch the bod
gers was the crazy mans decision. That
day the Dodgers beat the Giants to 1. The
youth missed good game.
1t IS the little things that make life
worth living. When things are dull or fates
cruel, we live expecting, hoping for new
breaks" things to enjoy Those who give
up make an unfair decision. In passing up
their own future joys they also sadden and
rob the lives of others.
FARMER-LABORITES ARE HAVING
good laugh over the freak nomination at
the primaries of a political unknown, C.
Elmer Anderson, for lieutenant governor.
Anderson, the FL story goes, was called in
to help j. Russell Sweitzer beat George w.
Johnson. He didn't make speech or hand
out campaign card but his name Caught
the voters and he overdid his job The
laugh is a bit hollow, however. The Els
had bit of bad luck on their last lieutenant
governor candidate too.

OFFERS OF SITES FOR THE POST
office weren't plentiful here, indicating that
persons who own property aren't worried
about the future and are satisfied there is no
better place to put their money. Empty
homes and downtown buildings are prac-
tically unknown in growing communities.

EDITORS ARE HUMAN DEPART
ment.-Publicity mats of other kinds slide
into the waste basket promptly in the well
regulated newspaper office but it's rare
editor who can't find space for bit of art
featuring a pretty maiden dressed for a
swim.
MAN is A FAILURE: WHEN HE
values success more than character and self
respect; when he loves his own plans and in
terests more than humanity when he does
not try to make his work little, better
every day; when he tries to rule others by
bullying instead of by example; when he en-
vies others because they have more ability,
talent or wealth than he has.-St. Cloud Ad-
vOcate.
A LOCAL CITIZEN REMARKED
last week: 1T isn't SO important as to how
many people there are to the square mile
in the United States as it is to how many
square people there are to the mile. Ely

IF THE BEER TAVERNS DO NOT
take steps to obey the law they may lose
the business entirely. 1t doesn't take long
to change public opinions in this country in
the present age.-Waseca Herald.
IF BARBARA HUTTON HAD BEEN
allowed reasonable share of her grand
fathers gains, say $25OOO0, she might have
married some decent chap and lived hap
PLY ever after The rest should have
found its way into the public treasury to be
expended for the general welfare-Labor.
