Delegation to Washington.
Wisconsin held statewide meet

after which the Wisconsin delegation
will go to Washington. Wisconsin is
much better organized than is Min
nesota, having a large fund to use
in promoting this program. Mime

cost America in men and money.
Border disputes have taken place in
Europe for over a thousand years,
and America cannot settle them at
this distance. We are not in the posi-
ton of many smaller European coun-
tries who of necessity are quite de-
pendent upon one another. Here in
America we have the natural re-
sources, and if we will set our own
house in order and keep our nose
out of European friction, we will be
much better off.
It is natural that as individuals
we have our sympathy for this coun-
try or that country, but we must
keep in mind that we cannot settle
those disputes so far away, and that
there is about an equal number of
people on both sides of the contro-
versies now raging in Europe and
Asia. The Monroe Doctrine takes
in sufficient territory.
There has always been tendency
after a war for the victor to punish
the vanquished. That was demon
strated in the Versailles Treaty when
Germany was down, and England,
France and other countries stepped
on her" Now that Germany is COM
ing up again, she demands the right,
at any expense, to trade with other
countries. Inasmuch as America did
not enter into the League of Nations
or World Court following the
World war and intellectually assert
leadership among nations for peace,
the best we can do now is to maintain
neutrality and thus be in strong
position of leadership for mediation
among nations.
Therefore it is important that we
have a man in the presidential chair
who keeps cool with clear head,
who knows propaganda when he sees
it, and who has no desire to embroil
America in foreign controversies. Let
our frontiers be where the Atlantic
and the Pacific begin.

upon its program of establishing its
own regional jails.'
The institution will be open for
inspection on April 7, 8 and 9, be-
tween the hours of a. m. and $3.50
p. M, and after that time the usual
rule forbidding visits except to those
who come on business or come to
see inmates in accordance with the
regulations will be in operation. Fed
eral and States Judges, prosecuting
officers, law enforcement officials and
members of the press, news reel COM
panies and photographers have been
invited to inspect the institution.
Humphrey in Charge.
George w. Humphrey, an associ-
ate warden of the Federal Penal and
Correctional Service and a native of
the state of Minnesota, will be in
charge of the institution. Mr.. Hum
phrey has been in the Federal Prison
Service for a number of years.
The Federal District Judges have
been much interested in the opening
believe it will fill long felt need.
United States Circuit Judge John B.
Sanborn was one of the early advo-
Gates of such an institution for Min
nesota, which was originally projected
in 1882. Sanford Bates was in charge
of the Federal Bureau of Prisons at
the time the project was originally
approved. United States Attorney
Victor E. Anderson has also actively
assisted in the establishment of the
institution and along with John J.
Farrell, United States Marshal for
Minnesota, and his deputies have
cooperated in the preparation of plans
for the institution and are taking
an active part in the arrangements
connected with the opening of the
institution.
Mr.. Bennett expressed his appre-
citation, moreover, to the citizens of
Sandstone for their cooperation and
assistance in selecting and acquiring
the property on which the institu-
ton is located, and he looks forward
to the development of an institution
which will be credit to the govern
ment and to the section in which it
is located. He expressed particularly
his gratitude to Dr. H. P. Dredge of
Sandstone, R. w. Barstow, president
of the First National Bank of Sand
stone, ]. F. Hawley, postmaster,
Sandstone, and Adolph S. Larson,
former state senator.

THIS RELIEF BUSINESS /!

Editor Askov American:
I have read with interest the head
lines of advertisements from Kerrick
in your March Is and 80 issues, and
and timely.
There is something fishy when these
Influential people allegedly find a
plain case of graft going on and then
find it necessary to spread it all over
their costly advertising space. If
such case exists, surely some Of
fetal is jointly responsible. Let's
have the names. However, if this
case is given publicity for the sake
of hitting blow at all relief and
WPA it should be labeled as such;
and considering the persistence of this

self-enclosing type. It consists Of
two cell blocks of the intermediate
security type. In addition there are
eight dormitories holding so men
each. Adequate exercise yards have
been provided as well as receiving
building, small hospital, congre-
gate dining room, assembly hall, class
rooms, shop space and warehouse
facilities.
The institution was constructed by
the N. P. SEVERN Company of Chi
cago, ILL.,, at cost of approximately
$675,0OO. In addition two fifty-men
dormitories were constructed by the
Maurice Schumacher Company of
Minneapolis, at a cost of $151 500.
1t is expected that the institution
can be operated at a cost somewhat
less than what is now being paid for
the boarding of prisoners in the local
institutions in the area and that
better facilities can be provided for
their rehabilitation. There should
also result saving in the cost of
transporting Federal prisoners con-
yicted in this section of the country,
who are now being committed to
the United States Penitentiary at
LeavenWorth, Kan.
The Personnel.
In staffiing the institution per-
sonnet was selected from employees
trained in the various Federal pris-
ons scattered throughout the United
States. Insofar as practicable, in the
selection of trained personnel an at
tempt was made to return to Min
nesota persons who had been ap-
pointed from that state for duty in
other portions of the country. The
number of applicants greatly ex-
ceeded the number of transfers which
could be made. In the first instance,
of course, it is necessary that trained
personnel be assigned to the new
institutions. AS vacancies occur,
however, the positions will be filled
through appointment of local elig-
ibles certified by the Civil Service
Commission. The first group of pris-
oners, about so in number, will be

The Republicans are not safe with
that stiff front of theirs either.


see where a great majority of
the readers of the st. Paul Pioneer
Press have indicated their prefer
ence for an isolation policy for this
country. Well by golly, they might
get their wish, if conditions here
don't get better soon. You know,
I don't believe a single Redskin
would raise a hand agin us, now, if
we were trying to open up this coun-
try. At least we wouldn't accept
his seed corn, SEEM as how Henry
Wallace persists in taking it away
from us.
see where Jack Benny, radio
comedian, flew from California to
New York for his smuggling trial
That smuggling deal of Benny's is
about the funniest stunt he has pulled
yet. And that's the way it is; lot
of the things those comedians pull
in real life are funnier than the ones
they pull on the radio.
If a lot of present-day enter
tainers would have delivered for
Major Bowes the way they do on
their high-priced programs, they
would have gotten the gong.
Bing Crosby, radios crooner, can
truly be classed as the poor little
rich boy" Bing is sad and he's mad
:. clean through :. it's stated. He
gets $135,O0O per picture and makes
as many as four in year for total
of $4,000. He also gets $500 a
broadcast.
But you know Bing is at the top
of the income tax brackets and there
fore approximately 80 percent of his
earnings must 60 to Federal and
California taxes. You know that
Uncle Sam and the Sunkist orange
state must get their tribute for fur
nishing such convenient state of
affairs for Bling. The sum and sub
stance of the whole thing is that Bling
had to borrow money to pay the first
quarter of his tax, it's said.
By gum, he needn't feel so badly
about that for Uncle Sam, who can
make his own money even easier
than Bing, borrows money whenever
he gets ready to do anything.
Another thing, they tell me, that
gets Mr.. Crosby's goat, is the fact
that everything he does costs him
plenty of dough. Why he was as
sessed $4,000 for professional services
by the doctor who brought twins to
his house. OF course he shouldn't
feel so badly over that one either
because no one can buy real singer
canary from pet shop as cheaply as
one whose warbling isn't so good.
Former Governor Hjalmar Peter
sen says in his article in the editorial
column of this weeks American that
the World war has been recent enough
that we should be able to remember
what it cost America in men and
money. But then it is well known
fact that our memory is better than
some of the European nations {.
who owe us money from the time of
that conflict.
Mr.. Petersen also states, popularity,
that eff we will set our own house
in order and keep our nose out of
European friction, we will be much
better Off" How true! But we all
know the great American trait is to
NEEDLE with and gossip about our
neighbors' shortcomings while not
minding our own business, like the
woman who while condemning her
neighbours housekeeping, fell over a
paper sack full of garbage which was

Why shucks, Hitler needn't be so
riled up about an insinuation that
he stood behind bullet-proof glass,
for AL Capone-a piker compared to
him-had a car made of that sub
stance. And I wouldn't doubt that
many Democrats are riding around
behind that protection nowadays f..
there are so many cunning for them.

German press agents seem to be
riled up over the spreading of the
report that Hitler stood behind a
bullet-proof glass, when he gave his
speech. They claim that the glass
was just to protect him from the
cold. They didn't say whether or
not it was likely to be his feet.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1939-04-06

Another reason why I don't think
that Hitler wants war is because he
is reported to have stood behind a
bullet-proof glass while speaking. He
possibly has learned that his next
coup will be met by bullets /. -. and
those things sting to beat the band.

Would Say
By A. w. CONAWAY

There just amt goin' to be no war.
That is, if Hitler has to start it. Why
do know? Why, just because no
one ever saw barking dog do much
biting. Hitler, in his recent speech
in answer to Chamberlain of Great
Britain, practically declared that he
wouldn't fight, that is, if his enemies
are going to fight back.
Hitler is like a lot of us here in
America; he likes to get what he
wants without much effort. You
know, I think Der Fuehrer of his
kind the better
