McNamara’s confession leads to the suspicion that he is op- posed to capital punishment. It has been suggested that Gover- nor Eberhart’s representative at St. Cloud sing, “Oh, Promise Me.” If they get. their hair dome up in time, 75,000 women will vote in the/| Los Angeles city election today. Plummer is advertising for a bar- ber. In the meantime Jack Pines is not the only thing the wind is blow- ing through at Plummer. At Hibbing, the - young married ‘women are playing basketball for ex- ercise. In Bemidji they mop up the tracks of the delivery boy. Miss Dora Flint, a Douglass county school teacher, serves hot soup to her pupils daily. It is needless to add that the scholars have a warm feel- ing for their thoughtful instructor. SOUNDS A WARNING. In a clarion voice the Duluth Even- ing Herald calls attention to the great crisis facing the Northern Min- nesota Development association at its gathering in St. Cloud on Friday and Saturday of this week: “Friday the Northern Minnesota Development association will gather at St. Cloud for its fifth meeting, and there it must meet and overcome the gravest crisis in its history. “So far, the association has suc- ceessfully avoided the perils of man- ipulation for partisan and. personal interests, and that is why it has been a power in the development of North- ern Minnesota. “This time the attempt to control the association for comes in more subtle form, and there- fore it is far more dangerous than it|!¥ the number of names put before has ever been before. “The issue which the association must meet and decide at St. Cloud is plain as day. It is whether it will continue its fight for justice UNCOM- |6 6 6 6.6 6.6 6 6 5 6.6 6.6 6 6 promisingly and straightforwardly, or whether it will submit to being diverted from its course by the self- ish personal, partisan and corporate|cratic candidate for president. interests which are seeking to avert an extra session of the legislature by [mayor of Portland, will be a candi- every means in their power, and|date for the Republican nominatlou which will not hesitate to wreck the|" association if that proves necessary to their énds. “It is the duty of the association to | Daniel, in Lynchburg, Va. fight for reapportionment on every possible occasion and in every honest|hold biennial state elections leaves That is the chief thing for [Massachusetts —the only state to way. which it was ereated; for when reap- portionment is gained all the:other things for which it is wnrking cwill follow: 7 % “It is the pressnt duty of the as- @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ unworthy ends Ishing | tra session of the legislature for that| phrpase; for'if reapportionment ‘does a ls“p%fibed T the apparent posi- tion of abandoning its fight to reap- portion; as it will be if the associa- tion falls to demand an extra session 45 forthat-purpose;=the-ehumice -ur“gateth -ting-~justice-~even ~in—1937-~witl--be made very much less present. legisuuve appor!tiqnme,nt ‘be for which’it' was created, and to serve. which it (was born in=the firé of thle L hearts of loyal citizens of:Northern Minnesota who ‘were Aveary of long- standing|injustices, and of the condi- tion of impotent’inertia to which the natural wealth/ of/ this part of. the state had. [been:condemned by the state’s neglect! - “If the-association abandons. this; purpose of its being at the behest of the selfseekers—personal, partisan and corporate—who are fighting against an extra session by ! every means at their command, then it-will be wandering far from the true path laid out for it at-that first splendid meeting at Bemidji, and will be trait- or to the noble cause which shaped itself at Crookston, Brainerd and Du- Iuth. All the splendid. enthusiasm generated at these meetings and erys- talized into plain demands and ag- gressive and courageous action will have been wasted. All the work that has been - done toward redeeming Northern Minnesota from the condi- tion to Which the state's neglect had sentenced it will be made futile. “Is the Northern Minnesota Devel- opment association, after its promis- ing start and its short but ‘splendid career, to be turned at last into a there machine to do the will of the personal, partisan and corporate self- seekers who are bent upon using it to protect. them against an extra session in which measures had for them but good for the people might be passed? “No man who- was at Bemidji, no man who was at Crookston, no man who was at Brainerd, no man who was at Duluth, will believe that ft is possible to bring about this projected prostitution, of the arganization uppn which Northern Minnesota must de- pend for an untiring, brave, uncom- promising and finally victorious fight for justice.” SPREAD OF COMMISSION GOTERNMENT. As a result of the election of Nov. 7 commission government has in- creased 10 per cent in the United States, measured by the population of the cities-adopting it. In 170 cities having nearly 4,000,000 population, and in 33 states, it is now or shortly will be in force. Thus commission government seems to be finding favor generally, though in many places it is looked upon yet as an experiment, Texas, where the commission plan originated, has 16 cities now flourish~ ing under it; Kansas has 25; Illinois 17,-Oklahoma 15, South Dakota 11, California 9, Albama 8, Iowa 7, ‘Washington 6 and Massachusetts 6. The states in which it is being tried by one or more cities are Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Missis- sippi, Minnesota, Montana, Nebras- ka, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyo- ming—a list that represents north, south, east and west, Commission government means simplicity in its substitution of a few commissioners for a mayqr'and “ald- ermen, and in many cities it has shown admirable results. One of its chief virtues is that it reduces great- voters on ballots, a reform that ought to be widely sought.
