The Forum has openly charged Gov. Sorlie with in- timidating legislators by threatening to hold up appropria- tions and to do other dire things which might militate against Cass county getting its usual lion’s share of the public pap. Of course that would be “Jese majesty” on the part of Gov. Sorlie but The Tribune does not believe that Goy. Sorlie has done anything of the kind. It becomes more and more apparent that Gov. Sorlie is net letting any faction dictate his policies. He is feeling his way and seeking to do the best he can for all the people of the state. There are some persons in Cass county who seek to dictate the policies of the entire state and who can see no farther than the boundaries of “imperial” Cass. Their spokesman in the house is so relentlessly opposed to expen- diture of public funds unless Cass gets three dollars to every other dollar spent elsewhere. Gov. Sorlie evidently to glean from the columns of the Cass county press is not as impressed as he should be with the claims of the Cass county hencemen. Getting back to two points. First there is no good rea- son why the Board of Managers Act should not be repealed. It never should have been passed. The people elected an industrial commission to handle the affairs of our state owned industries. They went into office with a direct man- date from tne people and are directly responsible to the people. This power never should have been delegated to an! appointive board. Past results show that it was not good legislation. There are too many commissions and boards now enabling officials to pass the buck. The I. V. A. organization is as much committed to mills | and elevators as the league. It won the recall by whooping it up for the state owned industries and Cass County Leader Twichell was in the front ranks waving the banners and shouting as lustily as any of them. Now for another point. The Tribune reiterates that it does not believe Gov. Sorlie has sought to foist any program upon the legislators through threats. or intimidation. If he has the constitution is very specific on the point. The Cass county press which in its news columns has been open'y | charging such coercion might read the following section and if the “coercion” gets too warm for the Cass county dele- gation and their “pap” seems in danger, the Cass county | hencemen have a remedy at law for the “presumptuousness” of the chief executive: Sec. 81. Any governor of this state who asks, re- ceives or agrees to receive, any bribe upon any under- standing that his official opinion, judgment or action, shall be influenced thereby, or who gives or offers, or promises his official influence in consideration that any member of the legislative assembly shall give his official vote or influence on any particular side of any question or matter upon which he may be required to act in his official capacity, or who, menaces any mem- ber by the threatened use of his veto power, or who offers or promises any member that he, the said gov- ernor, will appoint any particular person or persons to any office created or thereafter to be created in consid- eration that any member shall give his official vote or influence on any matter pending or thereafter to be introduced into..gither house of said legislative assem- bly, or who threatens any members that he, the said governor, will removVe any person or persons from office or position, with intent in any manner to influence the action of said member, shall be’ punished in the manner now, or that may hereafter be provided by law, and upon conviction thereof shall forfeit all right to hold or exercise any office of trust or honor in this state. » While Gov. Sorlie has a perfect right as chief executive | through every legitimate means to seek the adoption of his program, The Tribune does not believe that he has made any threats or coercion in violation of his constitutional limi- tations, his Cass county opponents to the contrary. If some of the press accounts are to be believed of Gov. Sorlie’s attitude toward the legislature, he is seeking to do 4 what the constitution specifically prohibits. | The Tribune does not share in that opinion and thinks some of it is pure propaganda tempered with a desire to dictate the executive's position on certain issues in which he is not in complete agreement. In. passing, this paper holds no brief for the league or the p sed industrial program, but it believes in a square deal and the telling of the news much as Byron has express- edit: . z “Without or with offence To friends or foes I sketch your world Exactly as it goes.” Some of the old I.

Eoth sides studied hard. Libraries were ransacked for material. Newspapers, magazines and books, published since the formation of the league, were analyzed and di- gested. Juczges were appointed. Interest was ‘at high pitch. And just as the first speaker started it was discovered that both teams had taken the affirmative. The debate was culled off. That is one way to avoid debates and quarrels. When everybody takes the same side there room for argument. Unfortunate: | ly such harmony seldom reigns. The next best method is to know | what we are talking about before we begin to argue, and to mix a little tolerance with our logic. These two precautions will halt the greater part of our verbal and printed tilt SIMS! Bad Michigan news today.

Come along.” All three flew away on Two Spot, the Fairy Queen’s butterfly, and soon they came to a big sty where one little pig was nosing about in a trough. a “Oink! Oink!” he grunted. “Noth- ing here. Now I'll have to wait tili supper time to get another bite. Oh, jdear, if I was only a big pig I could) PUt on the screen. eat more. Wouldn’t it be grand.” The Fairy Queen waved her wand and he turned from a little pig to a big pig quicker than you could sneeze. Then the three adventurers and their unusual steed flew off to a place where they could see but not be seen—and waited. By and by the farmer came along and happening to glance into his viz yard dropped his pitchfork like a hot potato. “By Jiminy!” he shouted. “What's happened? Here I leave a little pig no bigger than a coal bucket and find a pig as big as a vinegar ‘barrel. Hi there, Jake, bring two buckets of buttermilk and a bucket of» bran. And throw in a few armfuls of sweet Here’s a pig that’s fit for a king.” After he had gone the little pig— or I mean the big pig—ate and ate and ate. He ate until he stuck out like a boiled dumpling on both sides. d “Oink! Oin@” said he. “Isn't this | grand! Oh, my, wish I had a stom- ach Ike one of those big balloons I saw up in the sky. I could just die eating.” “His words may be truer than he thinks,"-said the Fairy Queen grave- lv to the Twins. “We'll just wait here and see what happens. Most people don’t know what they are do- ing when they wish themselves to be different from what they are. The little pig has a lesson to learn. Now be quiet, Here comes the farmer with another man. It looks like the butcher from the nearest town. I think I know what he came for.” (To Be Continued) (Copyright, 1925, NEA Service, Inc.) — oO |.2 AsThought. | —___—--_—_— - ——___e Rr Sar Be The angel of the Lord encampeth id abo@t, them that fear him, lelivereth them.—Ps. 34:7. aha oem It is only ‘the fear of God that ca] deliver us-from the féar of mAn.— Witherspoon.

But Sara was an only child, and she had to learn her lesson through Litter experience. : At heart, Sara was all right, Her mistake was that she was too “easy.” Her dancing was the cheek-to-cheek brand, and -her word for the man who didn’t try to hold her hand was “slow.” Sara was pretty and so popular that she decided she must be a “vamp.” And she began to act like ore... She had many love affairs. Then, last July, Nian Carr gave a house party at the Carrs’ summer ame in Canada, and didn’t invite Sara. That wasn’t so bad, although, Sara and Nina had been chums from childhood, but the story drifted round to Sara’s ears that Nina hadn't asked her “because she didn’t want the party to be rough.” . After Sara had cried hefself sick over the affair, she buried her pride ard phoned Louis Carr to come over and explain what his sister had mearft. “Hew could I make the party rough?” Sara asked Louis, as. they sat in the Quayles’ new summer house that overlooks Silver River. Louis has always been a sort of brother to Sara. “Well, mother was going along as chaperone,” he said, “and Nina knew that if you and Don Rogers were along, there’d be a lot of petting, and. mother’d raise a rumpus.” “Why didn’t she leave Don Rogers out?” asked Sara, although she knew perfectly well. She had “yamped” Don Rogers from Nina. “Well, you know,” answered the truthful Louis, “Sis likes Don pretty well_herself-—” “Well, I don’t,”, Sara interrupted. “And what's. more, I’ve never ‘petted’ with him. I may have let him hold my hand once or twice at the movies, but that’s the extent of my wickedness.” : She began to ery, Louis, who hates tears, as all men do, stood up, put his hands in his white flannel pockets and whistled that “he was on his way to Mandalay.” “No, you're not! You sit right down here and listen to me,” sobbed Sara, “I've never let any. of those fellows kiss me. -I've let them think they could, but when they tried all they got was the cold shoulder upd the icy stire. Y-y-you're the obey rian who ever kissed me in my life- that night after we suw ‘Romeo and Juliet!” : “But, gosh, that’s four years ago,” said Louis, “and if you're so exclu- sive as you say, how did you happen to let/mte kiss you?” “Because, you poor simp, I've beew in love with—” said Sara, and could say no more because of the sobs that choked ger. But Louis understood. A while afterward, old Mr, Carr, sitting alone on his front porch, wondered who was whistling “It Had to Be You” so loudly and so chéerfully in the Quayles’ new sum- mer house.

Johnnie is one of the youngsters of Mrs. Jones neighbor. : “You see a compound fracture is where the broken bone sticks out through the skin,” he explained as he prepared the splints. “They are much more painful, and make a more serious wound than Next to the flesh the doctor placed some layers of old cloth, and then FABLES ON HEALTH FRACTURE on each side of the limb he placed the splints.
