THE STATE’S OLDEST NEW: (Established 1873) DON’T FOLLOW MINNESOTA Minnesota held a primary election last week in which a few more voters than the multitude of candidates went to the polls, and out of the small wave of ballots came nomina- tions for the highest offices in the gift of the people of that state, all by a comparatively few voters. Some 400,000 voters took part in the Minnesota primary cleetion. About 1,237,203 are qualified to ote, according to the census of 1920. Two-thirds of the voters apparently did not care who was nominated for Governor and United States Senator in Minnesota, did not appreciate the respon- sibilities, did not care enough for the welfare of their state and their nation to see that men were nominated for high offices who might be depended upon to give efficient and loyal service. The figure: show that about seven per cent of the voters of Minnesota nominated Mr. Schall as the Republican can- didate for Senator. About four per cent of the citizens over 21 years old named Floyd Olson as the Farmer-Labor can- didate for Governor in that state. What has happened to the primary? How much is ned when four per cent of the voters nominate a candidate s compared to the convention system when a smaller per but a representative body chosen probably by-a larger number of citizens, names candidates?

But the import- arce of everything is only by comparison. The railroads own over two and a quarter million freight cars. The actua! situation is that, out of every 23 cars, 18 are being used con- stantly and only five cars are idle. That’s not so bad. COMING ~ Money isn’t timid lately.

And right in the middle of the shamrock patch stood a tiny Irishman smoking a ipe. “Good evening, Pat,” said Johnny Jump Up. “Meet Nancy and Nick. “Good evening,” said the tiny fel- low, tipping his hat like a great gen- tleman, “May the saints bless ye both.” “Did you bring us the tickets, Pat?” ‘asked Johnny Jump Up. “Sure and I did,” declared the kind little man with a merry twinkle in his eye. “Far be it from mesilf to kape anny one away from such a foine place as Oirland.

Hunt NEA Service Writer Washington, June -With the Republican convention out of the way and the “liberal” planks pro- posed by the Wisconsin delegation rejected by the G, O. P., the plans for the “La Follette convention” at Cleveland, July 4, are gathering mo- mentum, Reports reaching head- quarters of the Committee for Pro- Policial Action, through which the conference was called, in- t approximately 1000 “del- egates” will be on hand when the session is called to order in the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi- neers’ auditorium. Work of organizing the convention has been carried on under the su- pervision of Arthur Holder, former ember of the Federal Board for Vocational Education and previous- ly legislative representative of the American Federation of Labor. Holder is ‘the man who “sold” Cengress the idea of providing voca- tional training as a chief agency for rehabilitating digabled veterans of the war. BY CONDO The central organization behind the La Follette candidacy, if the Cieveland conference, as now seems certain, puts the Wisconsin senator in the running for president, will be built around existing state organ- izations of the Conference for Pro- gressfve Political Action, This movement already is organ- ized in 32 states. In 20 states it is regarded as well entrenched, and in most of these it already has been through one or more campaigns ana has played a décisive part in the election not only of the state of- ficers but also of congressmen and senators, notably Shipstead, Brook- hart and Magnus Johnson. It is recognized, however, that a new name must be found if this body. is to be.continued as the medium through which the third party campaign is to be conduted. “Conference for Progressive Poli- tical Action” is too long and pon- derous., If La Follette’s candidacy is to make real headway, it will need a few catch lines to offset the slo- gans and phrases already being built around the Coolidge-Dawes combina- Backers gf the Cleveland con- ference profess to feel that the La Follette cause came through the Cleveland convention with enhanced rrestige. It is a matter of much pride that the La Follette suppor- ters stuck fast to their principles, amid booing and hissing, but with- out any exhibition of bitterness or roncor on their part, and presented their demands in a dignified, proper manner, even though recognizing tht futility of their protest. Not merely the “radical” middle west and west will be represent ed at the July 4 gathering, where the LaFollettee candidacy will be launched.

' ena A medical authority tells us that, while it is risky to make an abrupt change in the warmth of garments, the usual cause of spring epidemics of cold is this: : During the winter germs have-accumulated on sidewalks and streets which are used as municipal cuspidors. As warm weather comes, the dust in the streets dries and begins float- ing around in the air. This dust carries the winter crop of germs with it. The germs lodge on mucous membranes of nose and throat. An epidemic of colds follows. One would not be immune even if he wore a germ-filter over mouth and ‘nostrils. It has been scientifically proved that germs can enter the body through the eyes. The popular notion is that a period of wet weather starts an epidemic of colds. As a matter of fact, more colds are “caught” during dusty warm spells. The germs are held in check by the resisting powers of the body. In damp or rainy weather, people get their feet wet. Or they get chilled by changing too quickly to light- weight garments and other ways. This chilling lowers the body’s resistance. ; The germs, which entered the| body before clothes were changed, or during coider or drier weather, now begin to multiply. The result is a severe cold. > Some health authorities claim that colds in cities could be reduced at least by half if streets and sidewalks were flushed with water from hydrants to carry germ-laden dust down the sewers. Instead, cities wait until the dust is dry, then sweep 'it—partly into heaps for collectors, but also into There are 8250 fe- loon tires are called “comfort igland.. But they're not .

One thing I will say for you, however—“age cannot wither nor custom stale your infjnite variety!” I wonder if Having t6’ earn one’s living has anything to’do with mak- ing one hard. If it does I, think perhaps that far-famed economic in- dependence of which we hear and read so much about does not make for the greatest happiness of a woman. mn - I think, Sally dear, we will have to live many, many centuries before we get that peculiar faculty which now is purely masculine of dismiss- ing hurts, griefs, joys, love and say- ing: “That’s that.” I‘ for one do not want to get over that peculiarly sensitive feeling that belongs to women. I’d rather grieve a lot than be incapable of grief. In fact,.I think one of the greatest sorrows I ever had was when I thought I was not ‘being sorry any more: because Dick had left me. You say you were not at all happy with Sam, and)in oné of your let- ters you more than intimated that you were glad that he was out of your life. Have you been any hap- pier without him, sally dear?’ I'd really like to know. You had a good -deal to say about Dick, my dear, when you answered my letter, but you did nehiauerce my question which was, Woes a woman ever regain trust a man after she has once been disillusioned? Personally, after this episode with Dick, I have come to the conclusion that something goes out of one’s eh life with every illusion that is shat- tered, and a hardness comes in which, while it may make for inde- pendence of thought and action, never makes for great, great hap- piness. : I shall: be over to see you, how- ever, Sally dear, very soon, I am very anxious to come because I want to tell you face to face what shall think of you if you bamboozle Leslie’s husband fnto becoming in- terested in you. If he were any- body but Leslie's husband I wouldn't mind xo much, but Leslie, as you say, is one of the sweetest girls I have ever known, and I know she cares very much for that goodlook- ing husband of hers. In my heart I am quite sure she has forgiven him much, although there has been no intimation of it to me—and be- cause some of her illusions in regard to her husband have smashed, I am not sure but that some of that sad- ness that one sometimes sees in her face has come into their plate. But I am afraid she would not forgive him a second time, so, don’t shatter any more of her illusions. I met Sydney Carton at the wed- ding, and I liked him very much indeed. He is not as goodlooking as Jack Prescott, and I don’t-thin he’s as egotistical. He seemed ‘} admire Leslie very much, even then, but?I think he’s the kind of a man that even if he cared for his friend's wife, would keep it to’ himself. How pérfectly foolish for you and me to go on conjecturing things like this. From letters that. Leslie has been writing me she seems very happy, but we will talk it over when I see you, which I hope will be very soon.
