OFPICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PFROCEEDINGS W PUBLIC OPINION. Our attention is called from time to time, as to why this has been published, and something or other left unpublished. Some times there is a reason for it and some times we have no excuses to offer. If we inadvertently err, it is not intentional. Itisa mistake of the head rather than of the heart. We expect criticism. What’s more, we want it and welcome it, because without it, these mistakes might reoccur and again be one of the head. Right ® along this line we purused the following, which came in the mail as a contribution: «J¢ is human nature for us to want our neighbors to think well of us. Even if it is not especially so as a matter of personal pride, it is so as one of good judgment and sound business policy. “The man who is well thought of has many friends, and these friends are a valuable asset to him in business—they bring him trade and increase his financial revenues. «“PThere are many things a man may do that would lower him in the estimation of the public, yet would not bring him into conflict with the law. And have you noticed that men invariably conceal these little acts as much as possible? And why? Because they do not wish to incur the displeasure of their fellow men—and women. “-Were it not for the moral effect of public opinion this world would soon become a maelstrom of iniquity and debauchery. It would be impossible as a place of residence for respectable men and women, and to bring children into existence under sach conditions would be a crime against humanity. “Public opinion makes or unmakes us, as we court its verdict. ’ “We value it, and we cherish its good' reports. “For when all other courts fail, public opinion becomes the court of last resort.” PRESS COMMENTS—THAT'S ALL (8y EXCEANGE EDITOR) . NOONAN'’S NOO NOONETTES. And, talking about -a vacant lot, what do you think of the lads who are boosting for LaFollette for president? The lad who wrote the poem about ‘“Beautiful Snow” didn’t have to shovel a blizzard off his side- walk in April. Ellsworth is kicking himself for getting into the governorship race. There is still time for him to kick himself out of it. You have to give Tom Frankson credit for one thing. He hasn't announced his candidacy: for mresident. Julius Schmahl frankly admits that he will be the mext governor. Aside from the fact that he is #alking of himself Julius is disinterested. The difference between this and the old-fashioned winter is that the old-fashioned winter used to end some times. A doctor says that low necks are healthful, in which case movie actresses ought to live to a ripe old age. The Babcock roads will release the prisoner of the farm—the farmer’s wife. When you vote for Amendment No. 1 you vote for her.

One of the greatest hindrances to rural education in this section is the opposition of the taxpayer, who has no children of his own to educate, or whose children have already received the benefits that the public system has to offer. In a talk with a Bemidji man and one well posted on this question, we have been informed many districts are today unfortunate enough to have large land owners 'with no-interest in education, who are making impossible any im- provements by their refusal to co-operate in any- thing from which they are not to receive a direct benefit. The old question of “why should I pay for the education of my neighbors’ children?” has been the bone of contention throughout the entire fight against illiteracy In this country. This class of landowners seem to forget that it is the pioneer wHo is clearing up the land next to his which is in all probability lying idle in an unimproved. condition that is making his land valu- able and he should be the last man to obstruct the education of the pioneer’s children. [ N— In commenting upon the action of the news- papers of Minnesota with reference to their patriotic endeavor in boosting for the Babcock road plan, the St. Cloud Journal Press throws a bouquet to the newspapers in the following comment: “The newspapers are freely contributing much space to boosting the Babcock plan of lifting Min- nesota out of the mud, which is to be expected of them as good friends of Minnesota. Many people, however, are of the opinion that they are getting paid at regular advertising rates, although not a single paper in the state is receiving a penny from anybody in its patriotic endeavor. The publicity given Amendment No. 1 if paid for at regular rates, would run into the millions of dollars, and it is given by the state press as a voluntary contribution towards making Minnesota a better and more pros- perous commonwealth. If other citizens had the same spirit of patriotic uplift, there would not be a vote against the Babcock plan.” SRR SR A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION. The Little Falls Transcript tells us that a certain bank is advertising a budget, telling how to spend $5,000 a year. The Transcript then says that the average family doesn’t want to know how to spend it, but how to keep from spending it. We believe they are both wrong. In our opinion the average family is more interested in how to get the $5,000 in the first place. PR e . Hoover’s sight must be better than the average. He stated recently he could see but two great parties. That’s one more than most of us can see. e g i One of our former presidents once said: “You will usually find a cheap man inside of a cheap coat.” There are né cheap men now. There is one nice thought about the lads who married to escape the draft. They will have to buy Easter hats this week. ) - ——0———— THE EDITOR AND MISTAKES. When a Plumber makes a mistake he charges twice for it. When a Lawyer makes a mistake, it’s just what he wanted, because he has a chance to try the case all over again. When a Carpenter makes a mistake, it’s just what he expected, because chances are ten to one that he never learned his trade. When a Doctor -makes a mistake, he buries it. When a Judge makes @ mistake, it becomes the law of the land. . When a Preacher makes a mistake, nobody knows the difference. ., When an Electrician makes a mistake, he blames it on induction; nobody knows what that is. But, when an Editor makes a mistake—Good Night!—Exchange. —o0 There are two dames that the ladies turn up their noses at. They are Missis Sippi and Dela Ware.
