No Gloom Here

Here is a rare example, man who
talked after election, and not only
talked, but acted. We often hear
threats about what is going to happen
to business, that we will have bread
lines and the like, if this or that
political party is victorious or if this
or that Individual candidate wins.
Therefore it is refreshing to read
the following dispatch from New
York:
"Walter j. Black, president of a
publishing house, announced today
10 per cent pay increase for each
of his SO employees because President
Roosevelt was reelected.
"I am doing this to set an example,
he said. My business has been bet
ter in the last few years than it has
ever been before.

electoral vote would be between 278
and 355.
There is DR.. George Gallup, who
said President Roosevelt was leading
the popular vote, but who thought
that the election might be so close
that the winner of the popular ma
jOrity might not be the winner of the
electoral majority. DR.. Gallup's ap-
parent inability to make a flat fore
cast of clear Roosevelt victory does
not harmonic well with the scien-
tific accuracy sometimes claimed for
his method, though of late the doctor
has been trying to get people to
take his forecasts less seriously-per-
haps in anticipation of some diff
ficulty with this election.
And there is Emil Hurja, po-
litical prophet without peer in the
days when he worked for and with
James j. Farley. Mr.. Hurja's Path
finder prophecies gave Willkie nice
lead.
Still another prophet of whom we
shall hear little is Mr.. Dunn of New
York, whose CHEEKY results warmed
many a Republican heart. There
seems to have been something wrong
with his methods.
We should not be harsh in judg-
ing these gentlemen, and yet it is
hard to deny feeling of satisfaction.
People are going to be very skepti-
cal about such polls and forecasts for
long time to come, and that will be
wholesome thing for the country.

We will be glad to cooperate to

Some of the oldest men in the
state sit in our legislature. They
have had long experience in law
making. Let recommendation be
made by the executive, but leave
the law-making to the legislature and
without the aid or dictation of any
invisible government:
We are fortunate that we live in
this great country where democracy
still functions. Let us see to it that
it continues to function. Let us speak
out boldly, when we disagree, but let
us also help and cooperate when
proposals are made for the public
good.

A BRIDGE COLLAPSES
Duluth NeWS-Tribune)

Bridge engineers, who thought their
difficult art had been reduced to an
exact science, must learn some of
their lessons again since the COL
lapse of the new $6,4OO,OOO bridge at
Tacoma, Wash. Apparently the de-
sign finally adopted offered too much
resistance to the wind and the first
really high wind since its completion
was enough to destroy it.
Man has won some great victories
over the water in recent years as
new bridges, looking almost fragile
in their clean-cut economy of materi-
al, have been thrown across streams
and bodies of water which had long
been thought of as too wide or deep
or windy for any bridge to span.
Nature is fighting a losing war,
but still wins battle now and then.
Askov American., 1940-11-14

Opposition political parties are the
saviors of democracy. Without them,
the party in power-regardless of
what party it is-eventually forgets
promises, disregards its principles,
and sinks in corruption.
We have criticized the present state
administration frankly and boldly and
have done it sincerely and honestly
We will continue to offer construc-
tive criticism when, in our opinion
the administration fails to serve the
best interests of the people.
On the other hand, we will be
glad to cooperate to promote the
health, happiness, and prosperity OF
our citizens.
We will be glad to cooperate to
eliminate such scandals as we had
in Anoka; such disregard of law as
we found in the oil inspection depart
ment, and in the office of the State
Auditor If money and help is neces-
sary, as the State Auditor says, now
after election, to meet the require
ments of the law, that money and that
help should be furnished forthwith
for we must have the necessary
state financial reports. Disregard o1
the law cannot be tolerated.
We will be glad to cooperate to
reduce real estate taxes, but through
other taxes less harmful. The Rail
