Safety in Border Lake
Charles Kaufman Downed
Monday Afternoon in
Lynx Lake.
9Th WATER FATALITY
Companion Swims to Shore
With Canoe and Victim
After Mishap.

Charles kaufman, age 81, ST. Louis,
Missouri, was drowned in Lynx lake,
southeast of Loon lake, Monday at
about 2:30 p. m.
Accompanied by G.. A. Lindemann,
also of ST. Louis, Kaufman had gone
out into the lake in a canoe to fish.
The canoe became hooked on Snag,
and in an attempt to loosen it the men
overturned the canoe and were pitched
into the water.
Both were able to swim and they
pointed the overturned canoe toward
shore, clasped hands over it and started
padding it in. When they reached
shore, Lindemann found that Kauff-
man was dead
Under the direction of C.. F. Cook,
the two accompanied by Gordon Bader
and Arthur Schikore, all of st. Louis,
left the headquarters Of the wilderness
Outfitters week ago Monday on a
canoe trip into the border lakes area.
They were due to return here Wednes-
day.
Members of the party were unable to
revive Kaufman.
The body was brought in late Tues
day afternoon after an arduous trip
that included making five portages.
Travelling up the Little Indian Sioux
river on the last leg of their canoe
route, they went to the camping grounds
of the U. S. forest service bordering the
river and the Echo trail where they
had parked their automobiles.
They had attempted to contact VIII
liam Leithold by phone from the Sioux
lookout tower of the forest service,
Monday evening, with the intention of
employing his plane but Leithold was
not available at the time.
The body was taken to the Laing
Mortuary and prepared for shipment
TO St. Louis.
This makes the fifth drowning in the
Ely territory this summer.
Lindemann was at loss to explain
just how the canoe overturned. A high
wind was blowing at the time After
attempts at reviving Kaufman failed,
the party started out for Ely travelling
all Monday night and most of Tuesday.
Enroute to the Echo Trail they were
met by Wilho Ahlgren, Buyck, and Ed
ward Hoppa, Ely, forest service en-
ployees, who were working on trails in
the area and who assisted them in
carrying the body over the long por-
tageS.
The party left here Wednesday after
noon for st. Louis.

Milk Ticket Currency
Paper Money vs.. Gold
Mr.. Beecher's ldea Of
Living Wage"
Take a Chance on Rogers

ONE of the charges made against
the late Gov John r. Rogers
in his campaign for election as
chief executive of Washington, was
that he was the author OF book,
The irresponsible Conflict, which
proposed revolutionary changes in
the monetary system that would
wreck every bank and every great
industry in the country. 1t would
be, said the DIRECTORS, the height
of political madness to elect as
governor of the new state of
Washington man who not only
approved the ideas of that crack
pot William jennings Bryan. but
used the ordinary milk ticket as
an example of what q national
currency should be-
The protest was based on Gov.
Rogers assertion that the milk
ticket, good for a quart of milk.
represented the fundamental germ
of workable monetary system.
The ticket was secured by the re-
sources, milk. of the person who
issued it, BY the same token.
argued the governor. 1t was good
business for the government to
issue currency secured by the re-
sources of the country and not to
depend entirely on gold as basis
of value.
Gov. Rogers quoted history
% hu lnt IN
rency-full legal tender paper
money-issued by a responsible
government, never has depre-
ciated.
He predicted that the time would
come when the United States would
be forced to go off the gold stan
dard and that the business of the
country would be successfully car
ried on with paper money. If those
in the world beyond know what is
happening here. the former gov
ernor of Washington Is probably
getting Il lot of fun watching us
do business with the kind of money
he recommended nearly half CEN
fury ago.
Another objection TO Rogers
election TO the office of governor
was that his book advocated the
application OF sort of idealism
in practical every day affairs and
taught philosophy that would
have 3 tendency to set one cless
against another That was based
on the chapters dealing with what
the author called legalized white
slavery. Among other instances
illustrating his point he disclosed
record of an official investiga-
ton in which Henry Ward Beecher,
who wept over the condition of
the slaves in the South, was re-
ported TO have declared that
dollar day was sufficient wage
for laborer
The Rev Mr.. Beecher, himself
reputedly then having an income
of approximately $4,000 a year,
is alleged to have said, in sub
stance:
The laborer protests that dol
lar day is not sufficient 10 sup
port a wife and four or five chill
dren. No, it is not enough if he
expects to provide food and raj
ment and expensive entertain
ment as we'll II is not enough IL
they are TO live as he would like
to have them. but donsr day
is enough to buy bread"
GOV. Rogers socalled "ideai-
ism" was his theory that un-
less labor was given fair
share of what IL produced.
the white slaves would soon
be reduced To condition worse
than the blacks for whose
freedom the North went TO
war with the South. The dol
lar day laborer he pictured
in a worse plight than the
black slave whose owner, for
