Because he happened along in his automobile at a moment when a policeman was awake, Kelsey Chase, state superintendent of banks, was arrested and later forced to pay a fine of $35. It Mr. Chase was jepardizing life| and limb of other occupants of the highway his conviction and sentence | ‘was a triumph for law and order. But it transpires that Mr. Chase was grabbed at a point midway be- tweeen St. Paul and Minneapolis| where the passing traffic is light and where there is little danger to ped-| estrians. The officer who made the| - arrest admitted to the judge that at the time there was but one rig, a team of horses, in sight. He figured| that the Chase automobile was scud- ding along at a thirty-five mile eclip. | It isn’t likely that the machine| was going anywhere near that rate! of speed and it appears evident that no lives or property was in danger. And so, whilé Mr. Chase may have violated the law from a technical standpoint, he declares and the pub- lic has a right to believé, that he was driving the machine in a careful and competent manner and for that reas- on hardly deserves the unpleasant publicity to which the incident has subjected him. It-is not from such drivers as Mr. Chase that the prejudice against au- tomobiles can be traced, but rather to the hilarious scions of the rich who often have more alcohol in their own tank than gasoline in that of the machine. They start out to “burn Aip the road,” and are unconsious of any danger to pedestrians or other vehicles; merely open the throttle and “let her go.” It is such drivers together with careless and .incom- petent chauffeurs and young and in- experienced girls and boys who cause persons who really are innocent to some times suftér, and Mr. Chase ap- pears to be an example of such a suf- Terer, However, the fact that Mr. Chase is a.public official should be no ex- cuse for his scorching and if it were true that he had driven in a reck- less manner, he, of course, should be apprehended the same as’any -other person.

A-party promise in Minnesota is a fact the mext-time you go to:vote. Party promises in Minnesota, it ap- pears, are merely clever traps de- signed solely for catching votes. Both the Republican ‘and Demo- crat parties solemnly promised last summer and fall that a just reappor- ‘uonmenl’;houlfl» be. made in Minne- sota this year. But as soon a# the legislature met, Democratic senatcrs began to filibuster against reappor- tionment and Republican senators refused to go into a Republican cau- cus to consider reapportionment. 1s it any wonder that voters are refusing to be bound by party ties in Minnesota? —Hibbing Tribune. Are Best Attractions. The biggest and best attractions— or they should be—in the towns.and | villages of northern Minnesota these days are the farmers’ institutes, Those who still .entertain the old | fashioned idea—if any there ' be— that the men conducting these insti~ tutes are educated fools who have never seen a farm, have had ample evidence to change their opinion. | The institute is doing more to de- velop northern - -Minnesota than] could be easily .computed in dollars and cents.—Pine River Sentinel.
