SENATOR LANCER

(The Minneapolis Morning Tribune)
1t marked something like climax
in the checkered political career of
William LANCER when he was sworn
in as a senator Friday. Now that he is
"a member of the senate. the burden of
proof is upon those who allege his un-
fitness to serve in the office. Their
protest has been received and will be
heard by the elections committee.
The offenses charged to Senator
LANCER are of such nature as to call
for criminal prosecution, If there
is evidence warranting an indictment.
Though the senate is the sole judge of
the qualifications of its members, the
senate might properly ask why North
Dakota courts have not done some
thing about it. There is no point in
going back to the issues on which
he was tried three times in the fed
eral courts. Convicted once of CON
spiracy to obstruct the orderly opera
tiOn of an act of Congress" in con-
nection with assessments on state-fed-
eral employees. he won a new trial,
a second jury disagreed, and finally he
was acquitted. The acquittal restored
him to the office of governor, from
which he had been ousted when con-
victed.
The North Dakota petitioners allese
that Mr.. LANCER is unfit" to serve
in the senate. Fitness is relative
term. There are degrees of fitness, and
degrees of unfitness. 1t is for the SEN
ators to determine what degree Of un-
fitness constitutes barrier to their
august body. He that is without sin
among them should cast the first
stone.

sections favoSing active warfare on
the side of Democracy, and by those
insisting that the United States do
not NEEDLE in international affairs.
That, of course, will increase, and,
humiliating as fanaticism is to an
intelligent nation, it proves, in this
case, once more the blessings of a
democratic system which encourages
free and open discussion.
Wants Help.
Great Britain does want American
aid; there has never been any doubt
about it, and if any there were, they
were set at rest last week when
Prime Minister Winston Churchill in
a speech at Glasgow insisted that
from America his country expects
ever increasing quantities of supplies
for carrying on the war, whether or
not they could be paid for.
The attitude of the United States
Congress during the next few weeks
may have bearing on the develop
ment of world affairs, and it won't
hurt to watch.

American citizens 60 years of age and
over, with retirement pension Of
$50 a month. This money would be
spent in every village, town and city
in America, creating greater home
markets for our farmers, increase all
local business, give permanent employ
ment and higher standard of living
to every American citizen. Truly, a
most constructive, peaceful and Chris
tian program. But such program,
namely the Townsend National Re-
cOvery plan, has been bitterly opposed
by many papers for more than six
years.
Why does this money spent for the
implements of war, death and de-
structiOn create employment and pros
perity and is so desirable, while the
same money spent in the pursuit of
permanent economic security, happi-
ness and Gods blessings to mankind,
would result-sO these newspapers
tell us-in nothing but complete eco
nomic and financial bankruptcy?

Royal Neighbors
Install Officers

Joint installation was held by the
Danbury and Webster Royal Neigh
bor lodges at the Danbury town hall
Tuesday afternoon, January IA. Ora
Gle Lena Thayer presided over the
meeting, being assisted by Oracle
Elsie Haaf from Webster. District
Deputy Ida Bush of Frederic, Wis,
acted as installing officer and the
ceremonial marshals were Mary Will
cox from Danbury, and Amy Wash
burn of Webster.
Selma Cameron, Lucy Hill, Agatha
Kluge, Myrtle Hornor, Leona Briggs
and Nina Frizzel acted as escorts.
Mrs. Lena Thayer has been oracle
of the camp for over 20 years and is
also the elected delegate to the state
camp which will be held at Fond du
Lac, Wis, in April of this year. Mrs.
Mary Linehan has acted as assistant
marshal for many years and is a
faithful member. Mrs. Lena Jordan,
the flag bearer, has also performed
her duty for many years.
Following the ceremonies a de-
licious lunch was served to the large
crowd that attended the meeting,
which was open to the public.

that some action is about to be taken
or proceedings instituted which will
affect their interests. Such notices as
city council proceedings, school board
reports, bank statements, treasurers
reports, ETC., are included in the pub
lie accounting group.
No public official will spend money
carelessly if list of his expenditures
is going to be published at the end of
the month for all his constituents to
look over, and no dealer Is going to
sell the county, municipality, or school
district, bill of goods at an exorbi-
tant price when every competitor he
has will go over the list of expendi-
lures with fine tooth comb the min
ute it is published.
Legal advertising is the cheapest
and most effective insurance the tax
payers can buy on the ability and in
tegrity of their elected officials.
If there is any fault to be found
with legal advertisements of this type
it is that there are too few of them
Many offices of public nature, which
are not now required to publish re-
ports of their activities, might very
we'll be required in more detail with
additional benefit to taxpayers.
Condensed reports of public pro-
ceedings, in a form shorter than re-
Quired under the statutes, satisfies
neither the law nor the public. When
or if such unnecessary condensatiOns
are made, there is always the grave
danger that suspicion might be
aroused. The public wants itemized re-
ports more than it does lump sum re-
ports.
Into the second general class, the
warning notices, fall many different
kinds of advertisements legally pro-
vided for in many different kinds of
proceedings. Public trustees sale,
sheriffs sale, estate matters, Quieting
titles, divorce summons, and many
others are included in this type of pro-
ceedings.
The whole purpose of legal adver-
tising is prostituted unless it is placed
in a legitimate newspaper with bona
tide general circulation in the COM
munity where it is published. The
proper use of legal advertising is
peculiarly a joint responsibility of the
editors who publish such advertising
and the lawyers who draft and place
it for publication.
Newspaper advertising performs a
very important function in our legal
system. 1t safeguards the pocketbooks
of our taxpayers with an effectiveness
that could be accomplished in no
ether way; it furnishes the only means
of fulfilling in a practical way the
constitutional guaranty of security to
every citizen.

Blushing Bride of Other
Years Is Fast Vanishing

FREDERICKSBURG, VA.-Court
Clerk Mason H. Willis, who knows
whereof he speaks, says the proven
bial blushing bride has vanished as
completely as the dinosaur.
Since january 1889, when Fred
ericksburg became the quick mar
riage center of the East, Clerk
Willis has met more than 1000
would-be brides. He says he has
yet to observe a blush.
Many present-day brides actually
take the leading role in pre-marital
arrangements. Nine times out of
ten, Willis AYERS, it is the bride-elect
who writes or telephones here for
first-hand information on Virginia's
marriage laws. And just as often
she answers all the questions Willis
is required to ask before issuing
license; even those pertaining to the
name, age, occupation, parentage,
and address of her intended.
''And don't you know" said Will
lis, "every now and then the women
pay for the license"

GLAD TO BE AN AMERICAN

Editor Askov American:
l am glad to be an American. No
doubt there are many in Europe and
elsewhere who would also like to be
Americans. We are not at war with
any nation and We all hope that we
never will be.
None of our privileges have been
taken away from us. We can talk or
write all we want to: and we don't
even have to be citizens. We can
draw as big pay as we can persuade
the boss to pay us or we can go on
w. P. A.
Some people have the mistaken idea
that to be good citizen is to pay
ones taxes and to produce as much
wealth as possible. There should be
more to being a citizen than just greed.
There should be that feeling that
makes people sing God Bless Ameri-
ca" right from the heart and l be-
lieve most of us have it. Perhaps d
little super-patriotism wouldn't hurt
any of us.
1t is possible that we could loose
our freedom if we do not watch every
move that our lawmakers make and
also the very powerful rich.
Let us all work together for the
common good and keep our minds
and eyes on the goal Of keeping
America the best place in the world
in which to be and live.

Sky AbOltnds With
Bugs, Study Shoavs
Lifting Spiders Trapped at
Three Miles altitude.

NEW ORLEANS. - High-fying
bugs are coming in for their share
of chronological attention these
days as the United States depart
ment of agriculture seeks to learn
more about aerial bug navigation.
P. A. Click of the department has
released report on the results of
LOOT hours in the air in 1874 flights
of Louisiana and "A flights near Du-
range, Mexico. Click carried spe-
cially designed bug traps on his
plane. He would fly with an opened
trap at specified altitude, then
close it and move up, say, another
500 or 1000 feet to get another SAM
pie OF insect life far above the earth.
Click found living spiders at three
miles altitude, mosquitoes at 5000
feet and even termites-the kind
that eat the foundations from under
houses-f1oating on wind currents in
the mysterious upper air.
Behind this arduous and expensive
research is an effort to learn more
about crop-destroying and disease
carrying insects and just how they
spread from one region to another
on air currents.
Some bugs do most of their trav-
cling under their own power, others
prefer to glide and soar on prevail
ing winds. Click says he has cap
tured boil weevils at 1000 feet, spot
ted cucumber beetles at 5000 and
leaf-hoppers at attitudes up to $4,000
feet.
The lightweight insects with large
wings travel farthest and highest,
bug trapping proved, while the
heavier, smaller-winged varieties
stuck fairly close to the ground.
Click captured specimens of the
pink boll-worm moth, a big-time
ravager of cotton, more than a mile
above sea level, a fact that con-
vinced him the moth can easily
cross from Mexico into the United
States without having to undergo the
formality of customs inspection.

SERVICE PRODIGIOUS'
Duluth Herald)

An article by R. H. Markham in the
Christian Science Monitor says: "No
other single agency has done more for
the development of America than the
railroads. Their service is prOdigiOus,
their payroll is enormous, their re-
lations to the public exemplary" In
the old days the railroad literally
made the town. In time almost every
town was given service. 1t could send
it's products to distant markets; it
could bring in goods made in cities
many miles away. The standard of liv-
ing rose as result.
The great empire of the West could
never have been developed without the
railroads, which brought civilization
and prosperity. Today they are our
indispensable medium of transpOrta-
tion, and they play leading role in
the great national defense plans.

LEGAL ADVERTISING
Mile Laos County Times)


Legal advertising plays an indis-
pensible part in the operation of our
government and the administration OF
our laws. Legal advertisements fall in
to two general classes in accordance
with the purposes which they serve.
One is the public accounting notice,
and the other is the warning notice.
The public accounting notice is the
published report of the fiscal trans
actions or legislative work of govern
mental bodies, or individuals who are
discharging a public trust. This type
of notice is the best protection which
the taxpayer has against incompetent
or INSCRIPTIONS public officials. 1t is
also the best protection public official
has against any possible charge OF
concealment. 1t is his report of
stewardship.
The warning notice. or notice to
persons interested, tells those persons

LIEN LAW ABSURDITY
Editor Askov American:

Editor ASkOV Amerlcan.
On even casual reflection it must
I.be convincingly apparent that the old
age lien law not only does not serve
public welfare but works out exactly
to the contrary, in this: 1t dumps in
to the already overloaded lap of the
state property that might otherwise
remain on the tax roll-certainly q
grievance of ample import when, as
now, the state is hard put to find
proper use for the real estate that is
rapidly reverting to it as tax delin-
quent.
Times are hard, but even in the
hearts of the poor hope springs
eternal that times may change for
the better. That hope is crushed when
the lien attaches and the property is
dead for any other purpose than the
pension. 1t is in pawn to the state for
the uncertain duration of the life of
the pensioner. The obligation it stands
in pawn for cannot be determined as
to dollars and cents until the pension
er dies.
Taxes should be paid, but how?
Necessary improvements and repairs
should be made, but how? To say
that the children should be made to
come to rescue of property thus en-
numbered is pure bunk, as there may
be nothing to lose if they don't. And
charity cannot be compelled. Natural
result? Forfeiture for taxes-the very
curse the state is trying so hard to
evade! Remedy? Prompt repeal.

This Is all borrowed money on inter-

AGRICULTURE AND DEFENSE
Cottonwood County Citizenl

1t begins to look like we folks in

feel the effects of the huge govern
ment spending incident to the defense
program. There are already feelers
out in the way of news dispatches
from Washington, indicating that there
will be reduction in the cash sub
sides for agriculture and an increase
in the rates on government loans on
farm surpluses. Federal farm officials
in Washington sound another rather
ominous warning and that is that the

deal more active than the German,
and also that Wilhelmshafen in Ger
many has been hit repeatedly by
thousands of bombs. Some say that
the destruction there was as wide
spread and complete as that of Cow
entry some weeks back.
If, as it seems, the British during
the last few days have been more
successful with their bombing war
than have the Germans, British ship
ping, on the other hand, has suf-
fered disastrous losses at the hands
of the Germans and the Italians;
many conveyed merchant vessels have
been sent to the bottom of the sea,
and the British navy has lost one of
its large cruisers, the Southampton,
while the aircraft carrier, Illustrious,
was so effectively damaged by bombs
that it cannot be used for active
warfare for some time to come.
What During Spring?
No matter how extensive the dam
age to cities or the losses of ships,
one fact remains, and that is that
this particular warfare determines
no outcome. AS it is, it is war that
simply doesn't move; the intensity of
activities in the air and on the high
seas; the loss of human lives; the
ruination of cities, shipyards, docks,
airportS, arsenals, ETC., may weaken
the combatants but these factors
alone bring neither victory nor de-
feat.
1t is only armies on the march
that will cOunt-and that Is why
there is a pretty general belief
that spring will be ushered In by
an invasion attempt made by
either Germany or Great Britain.
Hitler may-after all these
months of hesitation-decide to
make the attempt of landing
troops in England, and Great
Britain may, as 1t has been hinted
in London, try to send an army
across the Channel to the Conti-
nent.
At the present moment the situation

u. s. and War.
Whether that change will be brought
about by American foreign policy or
not-now that Franklin D. Roosevelt
has been inaugurated for his third
term-cannot be known. But sure
ly, the last few days have been
characterized by talk about some
form of American participation in the
war, and the general trend of opinion
so far seems to favor the official
view that the United States in order
to protect its own national securi-
ty must extend aid to Great Britain
up to the point now known elastically
as "short of war;.
