Minnesota's delegation in congress
has reason to feel proud of the fine
showing made by the Hibbing high
school band on its appearance in the
nations capital last week. Not only
was its sibe imposing than 30
but its performance and behavior were
such as to stir admiration and respect.
The band spent the whole day, last
Friday, in Washington, arriving here
at 9 in the morning. The entire party,
numbering close to 100, then boarded
chartered buses and was taken to
Mount Vernon, the home of the first
president of our country. After lunch,
scenic points in the capital were visited
until p. M, when the concert in front
of the capitol was scheduled. This
proved an exceptionally successful
event, the capitol steps and the walks
before the main entrance containing a
crowd that was most attentive and APP
Ipreciative.
Sidney Dean Sarff, former Duluthian,
now resident of Washington, ex-presi-
dent of the Minnesota State Society
at Washington, presided as master of
ceremonies. He introduced yours truly,
who bid the visitors welcome on behalf
of the Minnesota's members in congress.
I already have received a number of
letters from folks back home in various
parts of the district, who listened in on
the program, and all express gratifics.-
ton and pride at the way these talented
musicians performed.
After the concert, the party was taken
on a tour of inspection, including the
capitol building, the halls of repre-
sentatives, and the senate, as well as
the senate Office building. They were
afforded the unique experience of riding
on the underground electric that runs
between the capitol and the senate
Office building.
| We were sorry that the weatherman
should have arranged such a hot re-
ception to our visitors from the nations
ore capital. When the band was play
ing, the temperature was 96-which, by
the way was a record for June 16 in
Washington. The effect was evident on
many of the visitors, several express
ing themselves as all in when the after
noon drew to close.
The next day the band journeyed to
Philadelphia where it played and viewed
interesting sights. From there they
went to the worlds fair in New York.
There is no question but that this tour
gave the Arrowhead country most valu-
able advertising and is bound 20 prove
a profitable investment. However, un-
stinted credit is due to the enterprising
citizens of Hibbing who initiated this
project and made it such an unqualified
success. 1t takes civic enterprise of a
high order to launch and success fully
carry out an undertaking of sub a
magnitude as this. Hats off to the
citizens of our ore capital.
The house seems to have gotten in
bad all around by passing the kind of
relief bill it did. The reliefers are sore
because the appropriation was not large

Pure Black Impossible

Pure black is practically an I'M
possibility and all the blacks most
of us have ever seen are mixtures
with some visible color. 1t is i'm
possible to see black, asserts a writ
er in Pearson's London Weekly. This
is because pure black absorbs abb
solutely all the light rays that fall
upon It, and reflects none to the
eye. Since vision depends upon re
fiectel rays of light, there would
be pNne in the case of pure black.
If al object were pure black, we
would see the outline of it because
of the lighter shades around it, but
the black itself would not De visible.

age from London. For more

tinued to star in various roles,

one day of the early history of
the stage, she said: DAILY

Ten Year. Or The
Higher Hypocrisy

is 10 ago that President Hoover proclaimed
effective the KELLOGG pact designed to outlaw forever
instrument of national policy among the So nations which
signed it.
With Arstide BRAND Frances great postwar peace
maker Kellogg hoped and believed that they had helped put
the nations of the world track toward peace and
amity.
The world hoped So too weary with postwar wranging
and the failure to make good the promises that
means would be taken to make it the last war.
But what ushered in with the Kellogg BRAND pact
was not the higher craftsmanship but the higher hypocrisy
What outawed not ITSELF but the word war.
In 1881 when Japan seized Manchura and turned into
Nanchukuo the United States, Britain China and other
powers called Japans attention the that they had all
signed the Kellogg BRAND pact. Japan returned dplo
matte shrug and grinned that this not war; this
merely the suppression of unreasonable opposition apa
influence in Manchuria.
When Italy invaded Ethiopia in 1885, the attention of
Rome called to the fact that both nations had signed the
insisted This mere colonial expedition aimed at
racifyng Ethiopian tribesmen who could not understand
the benefits of Italian influence in their country.
By the time Germany and Italy sending their
troops Spain. and China and Japan became locked in
threeyear death struggle everybody too tired to call
attention the fact that they had all formally renowned
instrument of national policy The million dead
in SPAIN and millions dead in China had died in something
but not in war.
Thus the high spot of all time in international hypocrisy
has been quickly and neatly achieved The SO nations sol
EMMY agreed not TO war, and not of them has
dared to denonce the pact withdraw its signature They
just waging and calling it something else 1t is
the higher hypocrisy in action.
Yet there something significant in the fact that none
of these warning powers has formally denounced its sigma
ture formally withdrawn from its agreements 1t is
because they all that deep the hearts of their people
lies the wish for peace And while they do not give the
peoples peace they dare not formally and officially that
they care nothing for this desire.

PULSE OF THE PUBLIC

that they were being used as
tools for the furtherance of the
political fortunes of certain can
didates for office. OF course,
after the election these fake or
CARNATIONS quietly folded up and
left the people in the lurch.
Already in preparation for the
1910 national campaign, many
similar groups are aborning and
the outcome will be the same
in 1910 as in 1886
Many people believe that these
spurious organizations are tech
nocratic, because of their alleged
adoption and sponsorship of a
few technocratic principles. How
are the people to detect these
candidates The answer is sim
pie. Go to the fountain head
of democracy. Find out the
basic principles from Howard
Scott, the founder and chief of
Technocracy, Incorporated; or
from his representatives, and
then check up on the organiza-
tons that pretend to be techno-
cratic. Ask il they have a char
ter from Technocracy, Incorpor-
ated. No one can become
technocrat by merely accepting
part of it. One must take
the whole or none Otherwise
he is doomed to be let down
sooner or later. And in his dis
appointment he is prone to con-
denim democracy, whereas he
never had correct understand
ing Of the matter.
Last week in a column from
its Washington correspondent, a
Seattle paper mentioned dis
cussion among prominent and
well informed Washingtonians.
The question raised was who,
IN the opinion of the entire
group, among those now living
but not in political life, would
he the most talked of personality
in the year 1910. The one meet
ing their unanimous approval
was Howard Scott. director-in-
chief Of Technocracy. Incorpor-
ated. The significance of this
may not now be apparent to
all. but before the next three
years have passed. the meaning
will be clear.

TO AID In TAN REFORM

Editor, The Times: There has
recently come into existence in
this state voluntary organiza-
ton with purpose so excellent
that it would seem to deserve
support and cooperation. Refer
enee Is to the Tax Relief asso-
citation, headquarters in Seattle,
in the Seaboard building.
Playing no politics, instigated
by no persons or interests with
any axe of selfishness to grind,
this Tax Relief association ap-
parently purposes to provide
real information upon the sub
ject of taxes and taxation and
the good and bad effects of vari-
Gus kinds of imposts.
There is no other subject than
that which is more talked about
and less understood. There is
always a clamor for relief from
taxes, but the motive is almost
invariably a mere desire to get
out from under and push the
tax burden on to someone else.
There is practically no study
of the subject, no understand
ing of it, no appreciation of the
harmful effects OF certain kinds
of taxes or the avoidance of
taxes. and no realization of what
just and proper method of
revenue raising could do and,
in fact, undoubtedly would do.
in the all important matter of
reviving industry and establish
ing an equitable distribution of
produce and wealth This is a
subject OF infinitely more conse-
quence than the matter Of doles,
pensions, rclicfs. WA. or any
thing else of like character.
The Tax Relief association
has grand opportunity for
great service.
