"WHY DON'T THE NEWSPAPERS

"WHY DON'T THE NEWSPAPERS
jump on them and just give them hell ?" was
a remark addressed to the writer at one OF
the city's coffee haunts this week.
'And what" we replied, would that ac-
complish?"
The issue was one on which the editor
has expressed very definite convictions.
Matters concerning it haven't gone as we
hoped and expected, at all, although the pro-
cedure has been democratic and the decision
arrived at by as fair process as was posi-
BILE.
Why then, should anyone recommend
that someone else jump on somebody? Why
not consider, at least, that the other side
may have acted in perfect good faith? Why
lot accept defeat as the inevitable conclu-
sion of at least some encounters?
Mans life is too short to warrant bear
ing grudges; especially grudges which will
be so much excess baggage when the time
comes for another engagement.
REDWOOD COUNTY WAS ONE OF
the few in Minnesota which did not report
case of infantile paralysis during 1889, but
the disease has occurred in so many nearby
counties that there is every reason to believe
that we were only fortunate certainly not
immune.
Renville county had five cases of polio
myelitis, Brown two cases, Yellow Medicine
two and Lincoln one, of Minnesota's high
total of $50.
Apparently there is no predicting the
prevalence of the malady. In 1884 the state
had 113 cases, in 1885 total of SO was re-
ported and in 1886, only 81. The year 1887
brought 354 cases with 81 deaths while in
1888 only 48 cases and ten deaths were re-
corded.
The presidents birthday ball and the
annual march of dimes have financed the
nations effort to combat the dread disease.
They are worthy of your wholehearted sup
port. -
IF YOU ARE AN EMPLOYER WITH
less than eight employees in town of less
than 10000 people, you aren't it, meaning
you're not required to pay unemployment
insurance anymore. But if you have eight,
no matter where you are, you are it. Or if
you're in town of over 10000 no matter
how many you hire, you're it. 1t takes
legislature to think up something like that.
No individual could get so tangled.

Death Payments
May Be Made To
Farmers Parents
(SiXth of a SerieS)

In case of the death of an in
sured worker who is the sole
support of a parent, the parent
after age IS will receive monthly
benefits provided there is no
widow or unmarried child sur
viving. The parent must file proof
of dependency within two years
OF the death of the wage Garner
If both parents were supported
by the deceased worker, each will
receive monthly benefit
amounting to one-half of the
wage earner'S basic monthly
benefit.
Example: A stenographer who
has been employed for several
years in a wholesale house dies
leaving her mother and father
who were dependent upon her for
support at the time of her death.
Her salary earnings would entitle
her to benefits of-let's say $25
per month. Each parent, upon
reaching age IS, would receive a
monthly check amounting to
$3.50 per month as long as he or
she lives.
Even though the parent is I'M
der age IS and was not depend
ent for support upon the deceas-
ed child, payment amounting to
six times the basic monthly bene-
fit may be made to the mother or
father, where neither wife nor
child survives.
Suppose, for example, that the
unmarried son of rniddle-aged
parents dies. Assume that his
wage earnings up to the time of
his death would justify a basic
monthly benefit of $25. His par
ents, even though they had not
been dependent upon him for
support, would receive lump
sum payment of six times SIS, or
$50.
This luinp-sum death payment
provided under the revised act
can be made to another relative
If no widow, child, or parent
survives, or even to a person
other than member of the fam
lily if he paid the funeral expen-
ses, but only to the extent of the
actual expenditures involved.

HERE IN THE RELATIVELY CON-

HERE IN THE RELATIVELY CON-
servative midwest we look upon the far west
as a region which very often overdoes things.
Hollywood, Ham and Eggs, the California
climate are just few stock examples.
Perhaps it is because the substituting of
athletics has been more overdone there that
the west coast conference is the first to take
drastic steps to lift college football out of the
professional class and actually return the
game to the students. At any rate, we wish
to join in the applause.
When high school athletes are bid for
like so many beeves in a show ring, when
they are provided with scholarships, sham
jobs and free tickets to be sold to help keep
them in the institution, when players are
required to take certain courses so that there
will be little doubt about their eligibility
although some about their educatiOn-When
the training for two months of play consti-
tutes eight or ten months of the year, when
the coach draws more than the college presi-
dent, and gets handsome pay, too for recon-
mending cold creams and breakfast foods
it is high time someone called halt.
Perhaps the west coast conference will
be permanently eclipsed in the national foot
ball constellation as the result Of it's action
but we believe it has shown leadership in
the right direction more worthwhile than a
decade of rose bowl triumphs.
THE DANGER OF THE UNITED
States becoming a totaltarian state like
Russia, Japan, Germany or Italy, as often
expressed by alarmists, has never impressed
us much and we feel even more secure after
hearing President Cowling of Carleton COL
lege at the seventy-fourth annual convention
of Minnesota editors last weekend.
No professional alarmist, Mr.. Cowling
nevertheless sees danger in federal control
of funds for educational institutions and in
the mounting tax burden. 1t is because we
have, no doubt always will have, men with
enough foresight to call these dangers to our
attention while they are still remote that we
feel confident of the survival of democracy
The college president points out that
control of education handouts by Wash
ington bureau might result in the teaching
of principles out Of harmony. with the demo-
cratic system that regimented youth in
totalitarian nations is the dictator's strong
suit, He agrees with most taxpayers that

tional income, costs far more than reason

JOHN l.. LEWIS IS OPPOSED TO A
third term for President Roosevelt. That's
the best argument we've heard for it.

AZ Reader Writes

January 20, 1910
Editor Redwood Gazette
Redwood Falls, Minnesota
The County Home has stirred
up considerable controversy
throughout the county, and since
the meeting of the delegates and
the board of county commissions
ers January 16, I have been APP
preached by many taxpayers on
this very subject, and almost
without exception 1 have found
that they believe that the County
Home can be operated for consid-
erably less expense and still give
the inmates the proper care they
are entitled to. First there is no
need for any ill feelings, which
seemed to prevail at that meet
ing, because / personally feel that
every man or woman has a per-
feet right to his or her opinion.
That's democracy, is it not, then
let us go at this in a sane and
sober manner. / have consider
able faith in the Board of County
Commissioners and believe that
they will in time figure out some
way that is best for all concern
ed, however they should not be
beyond any constructive criticism,
and if know them as think /
do they will work for the best in
tereSt of the taxpayers. So much
for the home, and when and if
they decide to close the home I
do hope they will thoroughly con-
slider the vocational school for
young girls, for my opinion is
that is a start in the right direc-
tion
I am a strong believer in high
er education, the more the better
and while great many people
will not agree with me on this, /
still contend that that is the sur
est and fastest solution to our re-
lief problems. I am thoroughly
convinced that if we had compul-
sorry educational laws that our
depression would leave us within
10 year period. / would like to
see law in our statute books,
compelling all children to attend
school up to 20 years of age or
until a high school, or its equival-
ent, education is had. Especially
do feel that vocational training
of some profession should be the
lot of every girl or boy. When
this is done we will have citizens
that will be able to create their
own wealth, instead of depending
on the wealth created by others.
Cardinal Newman said years
ago that 4 quote
A university education is the

thusiasrn and fixed aims to pop

ular aspirations, at giving en-
largement and sobriety to the
ideas of the age, at facilitating the
exercise of political power and
refining the intercourse of pri-
vate life End of quote.
However, we may not be SO
fortunate as to be able to take
advantage of a college education
but we most assuredly can pro-
vide for higher education now
and in the future, and again I re-
peat that that is, in my opinion
the best panacea for our relief
problems. Therefore the above
reasons are why l am 100 per
cent for the NYA school. Schools
like that are what will make Old
Folks Homes unnecessary in the
future.

Next 2 Duys
.FutefuI for
French Fleet
Reich Seen Reudy
To Exploit British
Seizure
BY PERTTNAX.

LONDON, June 29 (NAN.A).-
The next 48 hours bid fair to be
decisive as regards Franco British
relations.
Obviously, the purpose of the
German government is to make use
of the present circumstances to in
cite the Bordeaux cabinet to declare
war on Great Britain. Any mcve
taken by the British Ministry to
deal drastically with the French
f1eet-should commanders of that
fleet endeavor to bring it to French
or Italian ports to be disarmed I'M
der control of the axis-Will be ex-
plotted to that end.
When the Bordeaux cabinet made
up its mind not to continue to fight
and to ask for an armistice, it in
dulged in false reckoning. 1t de-
termined to retain the feet under
its control and not to transfer it TO
the British flag in order to get
price for 1t in the shape of less
rigorous armiStice conditions and
peace terms. 1t determined in ad-
dition not to deliver the feet un-
reserVedly to Germany out of re-
spect to its former British ally and
so as not to increase still further
Germany's physical power. .
Reasoning Proves False.
But that line of reasoning proved
| as false as it can be. The way has
been left open for Germany to argue
fhQt q ri Nf
agreement has been infringed and
that consequently she is authorized
to find compensation by putting
French battleships into line
Moreover, to believe that Germany
will be even a little lenient with
France because France refrainS
from doing all she can to assist,
Great Britain in the struggle against
NaZi ism, TO believe she will not make
the most of the fact that France lies
| PROSTATE at her feet, is an absurd
delusion. And to pretend to ignore
! the fact that, in the circumstances
created by the annihilation of the
French Army, Frances independ-
ence can only be redeemed by VIC
tory for British arms is to make
that delusion still more pernicious.
Independence All That Counts.
To a country like France no ad-
vantage whatever is of any account
unless independence has been re-
established. AS a consequence, the
French Government ought to be
ready to face German ruthlessneSs
in all its magnitude rather than do
anything that is likely to impair
the chances of success of its former
ally.
The Petain Weygand Baudoin
cabinet has tried to find a via
media" middle way that may be
beautiful to contemplate but does
not exist. Only the extremes are
possible Germany will either seize
the French feet or Germany will be
flouted in this design. If she seizes
the fleet, her demands on France are
bound to become more and more
eXacting because stronger physical
force will be available to her. In
that case, the most the Bordeaux
government can hope to get is q
condition of vassalage.
