-Four Generations at
55th Anniversary.

Plainview-The distinction of having
four generations present upon the oc-
caSion of the celebration of their 55th
wedding anniversary was enjoyed re-
Gently by Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel E.
Foster. Of the 55 years, SO were spent
on the farm which is now the Fosters
home. Among those present at the an
niversary cOmmemoration were Mr.. and
Mrs. Fosters four children, fifteen
grandchildren and three great-grand-
children. Mr.. Foster passed his 86th
birthday December %. Eighty years of
his life have been spent in the Plain
view community, having come to Min
nesota from Wildly, Ohio at the age of
six years. Mrs. Foster, a native of
Wabasha county, was born in Cooks
Valley, December 8, 1860 The couple
retired in 1907 from active farm work,
but continued to make their home on
the place they purchased in 1888 soon
after their marriage.

like that, so he took himself, along with
the lonesome toes, to the doctor. The
surgeon did his best and sewed three
toes back on again, but the fourth one
just wouldn't stick, so Alvin will have
to go through life minus his little toe.
Prospects were good, however, that he
will emerge from the hospital at Fort
Smelling in the best condition, from an
experience which might have been very
serious.

Tables Turned
On Policeman.

st. Cloud-The tables were turned on
a policeman. Consequently, 80 odd oc-
cupants of local hotel were awakened
by the sound of the alarm and one
guest, a fur salesman, came bounding
down the stairs, his pajamas fluttering
in his wake. An officer was covering
his beat in the wee small hours just
before dawn one morning. In the rou-
tine of trying alley doors, chatting with
late stragglers, and poking his night
stick into dark corners, he came upon
an automobile parked strangely enough,
in the recession back of StevenSon's
store. Hmm" unused the officer, II
wonder what this can be?" And so the
investigation began. One door handle
gave to the hand of law. For about
one minute nothing happened-then an
unearthly wall shattered the early
morning silence-and the sleep of the
30 hotel guests. The car, belonging
to the fur salesman who came running
into the street was equipped with a
siren to ward off providers.

st. Cloud Newspaper Man
Enters Race for Governor,

Fred Schilplin, St. Cloud publisher,
filed Thursday for governor on the
Democratic ticket. In announcing his
candidacy to the press, Mr.. Schilplin
says:
MY filing on Thursday for the Gov
ernorship is to carry on in the stead
fast purpose of my life'S work. Work is
the most glorious thing in the world.
If you work long enough and hard
enough you will win whatever you want
to win.
IT have never started job did not
finish In the Democratic Primary next
June and in the general election next
November, am going to finish the job
1 started four years ago. Through my
candidacy for the governorShip hope
to convince everybody, even before the
primaries are held, that all of us, re-
CARELESS of party affiliations, must take
the administration of state affairs out
of the hands of political profiteers and,
through a business administration along
the lines of decent government put our
house in order
MY campaign, especially as far as
the Democratic Primary is concerned,
will be very much different from the
one I conducted four years ago, when I
carried on along the lines that candi-
dates for office generally do. I want
to warn everyone from the start that I
have no campaign manager, no cam
paign committee and that no one is
authorized by me to collect money for
campaign fund" previous to the pri-
mary election. shall rely solely upon
newspapers and radio stations of Min
neSota during the primary campaign to
help me convince the voters that a
change is necessary; that my record
shows I have been successful in bust
ness because I have been fair to labor
and fair to business; that know how to
do this job which have volunteered
as a citizens duty to undertake. No
body is asking me to file and nobody,
think, will have the nerve to ask me to
withdraw.
IF all of those who are in favor of
change in state administration and
who want to support me will be kind
enough to respect my wishes in this
regard, there is no doubt of what the
outcome will be in the Primary election
At least it would be worth the ex-
pertinent to see whether, through the
newspapers and radio stations, we could
give the voters of Minnesota a clearer
picture of the issues that are involved
and having the facts before them, make
their own deductions and reach their
own conclusions. Isn't it a better way
than herding them into committees
clubs and political organizations and
fooling lot of workers with the prom
Use Of job if their side wins?
IF my well-WiShers will therefore GO
forward with me along these lines, ii
will permit me to finish up this job

Administration. AS I stated in the be-

THE COUNTRY PRESS ON THE
SUPREME COURT ISSUE

At the end of the first session of the
current congress. it was believed that the
Supreme Court issue would again be in
troduced at the next session
Since that time, the feeling has grown
that, due to the size and influence of Con-
gressional opposition, the issue is dead,
and may not see the light of day again.
If the country press of the nation ae-
curately reflects the temper of the Ameri-
can people, the issue Is dead indeed
The Industrial News Review recently
sent QUESTIONABLE to 1855 country pap
ers asking four direct, non-leading ques-
tions concerning possible Court changes.
More than 1900 papers replied. Proposed
legislation would permit the President to
appoint additional Justices, was opposed
by 90.4 percent; Ills per cent were OPP
posed to the proposal that a two thirds
vote of the Court be required to declare
acts of Congress unconstitutional; 72 per
cent were opposed to any bill forcing JUS
tees to retire at an age fixed by law. And
883 per cent were opposed to a constitu-
tional amendment limiting the authority of
the Court over acts OF Congress.
There was a remarkable consistency
in the views of editors in far separated
states, showing sentiment solidified against
Court changes, irrespective of sectional
politics and feelings The completed ques-
tionnaires, together with a multitude of
supplemental notes and letters indicate
that these editors-as did the COMPRESSION
al majority when the Court bill was voted
on-feel that the Supreme Court is the bull
wark of our liberties, and our first line of
defense against dictatorship, and that it
would be national catastrophe to tamper
with it.
The country press is not swayed by
momentary enthusiasts, or political hys-
terra. 1t looks at issues in the light of their
effect on the fundamentals of government.
It thinks them out And no better example
of this fact could be found than in the edi-
tors reply to the Industrial News Reviews
Court QUESTIONABLE.

The BRITISH LAY THEIR KEELs

During 1897 the British government
had under construction battleships, 81
cruisers, aircraft carriers, 40 destroyers,
10 submarines. 3 depot ships, "A escort,
minesweeping and patrol vessels, 3 gun
boats, II motor torpedo boats and 2 sur
veying ships-a total of 148 vessels.
There is talk of a program to be an
nounced in a few months that viii include
three to five battleships, seven cruisers and
a generous quota of destroyers, submarines
and other light tonnage.
What are the British up to? It's easy;
they plan a ''two-hemisphere" navy, able
to protect their interests in Europe and the
Far East at the same time That's what
they built the base at Singapore for and
there is no reason to believe that the Brit
ish are going to try to make peace with the
belligerent nations by crawling into hole
and hiding their heads.

SCHOOL ATHLETICS

Occasionally, some of them go in for
athletics in a big way but the main idea is

rarely does any school or college, for that
matter, in this country plan an athletic
program, designed to reach every student
and to give the undeveloped boy and girl
the advantages that they should have in
physical development.

pant of the White House 10 recog-
nize old-age pensions as a moral
obligation OF the u. s. govern
ment- Those who differ with him
on other policies-and there are
many good and bad Democrats,
and bad and good Republicans
even who do not always agree
with the President-will admit
that had his administration
brought into existence nothing
constructive besides pensions for
the aged, the name of Franklin d.
Roosevelt would still go down IN
history as that of a great Presi-
dent.
But the present Social Security
law is inadequate and insufficient,
and not all who deserve pensions
are getting pensions under it. The
present Set-up is not entirely COM
measurable or even workable in
many of the weaker or more in
different states. Notwithstanding
all this, the movement still stands
as a milestone in human progress
and social achievement IN Ameri-
cato the undying credit of Mr.
Roosevelt.
While the Social Security law
commits the National Govern
ment to the principle of old age
protection through pensions, and
seeks to raise the program above
the common habit of bestowins
aims. Jet, if fails to provide ample
pensions then it does work to
cast upon prospective Recipients
and beneficiarieS Hereunder the
stigma of charity. Even INDECENT
and Impoverished oldsterS still
have their honorable pride.
But with the status of the pro-
gram yet wholly experimental, il
is felt that President Roosevelt
would gladly welcome a more
workable plan whereby some
thing could be worked out that
would be more desirable than the
not altogether workable Social
Security law as it now stands. 1t
is sensed that he would revamp
the whole pension structure.
Viewed from the rear, or
using our 'shindsight', it appears
that a greater measure of relief
would have been achieved had
the several billions spent by the
Roosevelt Administration been
applied to agriculture and old
age pensions, instead of thinning
it out over so many different pro-
jectS.
