The time has definitely arrived In
America when positions Of trust and
responsibility should be placed exclu-
sively in the hands of the elders, de-
clared Roy Miller, oldtime editor of
Texas, in speaking recently at gath
ering Of old friends and neighbors Of
John Nance Garner, vice president, in
the little village of Detroit, Texas, where
the distinguished Texan was born near
ly sixty-nine years ago.
There is no substitute, either in pub
lie or private life, for experience, and
experience, of course, comes only with
years. AS matter Of fact, the only thing
that is old about John Nance Garner is
some of his political philosophy. He still
believes in the old-fashioned virtues of
economy, thrift, and self-reliance. In
other words, he believes in the old-fash-
Toned, fundamental principles Of de-
mocracy, and no man in America, in
both his public and private life, exem-
plifies those principles to such degree
as does this great man.
while achieving high place politi-
cally, he has made substantial success
Of his private life, and it is his proud
boast that he owes no human being a
thin dime. He believes in the pay-as-
you-go system, and what blessing 1t
would be if that system could be applied
to America today.
Lest be misunderstood, let me say
here, with all of the emphasis can com.
uland, that John Garner is no reaction
az In his political philosophy. Indeed.
10 II not even conservative, if the
term be applied with the meaning with
which it was clothed in years gone by
"John Garner is liberal and great
liberal. He was liberal Democrat prac-
ticing liberalism many years before
some Of the most vocal present-day spon-
sors of liberalism were even born. But
there is no tinge or faint of radicalism in
the liberalism Of John Garner. His
liberalism is that which would guaran-
tee to every American citizen the right
and opportunity to work out his or her
salvation with the least possible inter-
ference upon the part Of the Govern
ment. Therefore, he believes in all nee
essary legislation and regulation to pro-
tect the weak against the strong, the
poor against the rich, the owner Of
property against those who would de-
stroy the ownership Of property; in
short, equality Of opportunity for every
American citizen. He believes in De-
mocracy and prefers to be known as
Democrat in the old-fashioned interpre-
tation of the term without qualification.

business and more unemployment in
the United States. To make it more
specific, the law permits the sale and

over an important part of our defense
program is to develop our own plants
so that they would be in shape to

His taking Canada to task for re-

the rebuke it has received.
But why all the fuss about Lind

Eagle is a capable aviator and av1a
ton expert, but he is not statesman
qualified to discuss national pollcles
and world affairs. He holds no posi-
ticn of responsibility, and has nc
authority to speak for anyone except
himself. The opinion Of any other In
teliigent layman would be as worthy
Of notice as his.
Parts of his speeches were in ex'
ceedingly bad taste, ;lnd IT coming
from a more important parsonage
might well have been taken seriously
But Lindbergh is not important, ex-
cept in the field Of aviation, where ne

The fact that Lindbergh was deco
rated by Nazi Germany may or may
not have influenced his utterances'
However that may be his speeches

College Takes First Win
High School Set for Invasion
of Tower Club; Dropped
by Aurora, 31-21.

After holding slight margin at the
end of the first half, the Ely high school
basketball team succumbed to hard
driving Aurora quintet, 81 to 81, on the
latter's floor, Friday night.
Coach Steve Smrekar's club was out
scored % to II points in the final
canto as the Mesaba range team put
on the heat.
Local fans will have their last OPP
portunity until Feb. to see the boys
in action here in the Tower game
scheduled for Memorial gymnasium to-
night.
A feature attraction will be the Tower
Girls Pep club, which will stage an
exhibition. Composed of 80 young
ladies of the Tower high school, the
club has received nearly as much pub
licity as the basketball team itself.
Aurora recently defeated Tower by
nearly the same score as Ely, tonights
visitors losing out 28-17. The Ely-Tower
fray should be torrid one, with the
local club holding slight margin over
the Tower crew.
A second-team preliminary is set for
tbs o'clock followed by the regulars an
hour later.

The many hilarious troubles that
Kyser and his musicians encounter in

that Kyser fails to take his own adj

their weekly radio program, 1.-THE Col

a handsome Hollywood offer. But the
members of the band are so enthusiastic
over the idea that they force him to
change his mind and accept.
The side-splitting complications that
arise when the group reach the film

the studio producer in charge of the

Whips Northland by 8 Points

Virginia Friday.

on the Ashland floor, Saturday night,
the Ely Jaysees hung up their first
scalp of the season.
Paced by Joe Novak, forward who
accounted for % points, the club
clicked in great style. Northland
threatened the Vermilion range boys
only once, and that was early in the
final quarter when they cut Ely's lead
to three points.
Novak swished in two or three of his
ten baskets at this critical point to put
the game on ice.

Junior college on the Queen City floor
Virginia, possessing the cream of the
basketball teams in the Northwest, is
undefeated, holding wins over Be-
midi, Duluth, Crosby and Northland,
all by top-heavy scores. Fans there
claim they have the best team on
record, their confidence in its ability
apparently being pretty well founded
Conditions, however, are ideal for an
upset, but whether Ely packs the dyna-
mite to touch off such an explosion is
matter of conjecture. The boys pro-
duced such win over Eveleth a year
ago and came within an ace of repeat
ing the trick with Hibbing.
Smooth, high-pressure basketball from
the opening gun won for Ely at Ash
land. Rapidly striking the form that
local fans have been watching for al
season, the college should be just about
ripe for encounters with the best in the
conference. Some old familiar faces
again popped up in the scoring column
William Loushin was accredited with
points, and Matt Mayerla with 5.
| A part of the encounter was marked
by race-horse basketball, and as a re-
suit two from each side were elected
on fouls. Three others finished the
game with three each, a total of 81
fouls being called.
