Sublished Every Wednesday sy KILEY @ SPENCER Jfficial Paper of Itasca County INSTITUTION WORTH SUP- “PORTING. The Farm Women’s club, assist- by some of the business men id the public generally, have op- | ed a rest room for farmer's yes on Fourth street just west taking care to feature this fact wherever opportunity presented. We have no doubt but that they will do this when the matter is pre- sented to them in the right light. Already individuals among them have come forward with substantial | contributions, but concerted action ' is what is’ wanted in order to get | the very best results. IS IT WORTH WHILE? | It seems to us that when a man. who has been given some litt!s pretext. It is also more than hinted that influential offenders have been allowed,to go free and that this untiring perseoution of the settler is simply for the purpose of diveri- ing attention from the activities of the real game destroyers. ' But we care nothing about al! ‘this. The fact that Woods has | time and again been accused of over-zealousness and lack of judg- ment should be sufficient to bar him from holding the position of game warden, and a county that will continue him in that position policy. looking toward aiding men of this calibre in making their / farms paying property in less time, than this: Every day there are more rea- ‘sons brought forward! to prove that Minnesota needs to revise wag b— lic land policy along broader lines, and that, in addition to the drain- age of swamps, land clearing ang road building must be a part of the new policy Here is one that we have found John.

In some sections he has brought about a condition that before his advent was never known.

If the new law will even start people thinking in the opposite direction it wilh have accomplished more than any one measure for an age. Wisconsin may generally be de- pended on to do something to keep itself in the limelight. A year aso or so it was necessary for its preme court to declare unconstitu- tional a law providing for fining, misguided men folks who from choice or necessity had decide, to remain only half completed.

A broad public land policy would |accomplish the results. zave its hand to helping industri- Jand policy for a number of years) and have finally succeeded in in~+ teresting the citizens and press of southern Minnesota. This is what we needed—the whole state to geti in and boost—and there is every reason ¢0 believe that before the. close of the next session of the legislature, such a policy will hava been adopied. Seuthern Minnesota, as is natur- al, has always been a little jealous of northern Minnesota, and, in times past, it has eut off its nose to spite its face. Too, the people down there see that by working with the north end they will event- ually be benefitted. They have come to see that state funds spent in developing our wild acres, while. possibly dragging heavy on them reduce their burden of taxation and will bring to them better roads better schools and other desired benefits. Getting together on this, we cart soon force a state land policy such as is needed to bring, Minnesota into its own as one of the leading agricultural states of the Union. Although we should have been’ working together 1 ago, it will not take long to develop a head of yo ea that will make it easy to cateh up. To aid in this work, one devel- opment association for the whole stale, such as Editor Stillman: Bingham, of the Duluth Herald, Want to Juggle “Figeres.” The Herald-Review, of Grand Ra- pids had a corking good editorial on the folly exhibited by the state in selling everything of value in the wood and timber line from out in the end that the chap they | state lands before selling the lands had idolized is ineligible because of!

The secretary suggests that home- steaders of this kind be punished? as frauds as they make no attempt, to live up to the spirit of the law. The new homestead law aims to remedy this evil to some extent. but it is a matter deeply to be regretted that men like Franklin Lane were not appointed secretar- ies of the interior a long time ago. jSo much of the timber has been stolen through the very method he calls attention! to that it is hardly worth while locking the barn now. ——_—_—_ BROAD POLICY NEEDED. The matter of greatest import- ance that will, perhaps, confront: the next legislature, is the adop- tion of a sensible land policy by the state. Central and Southern, Minnesota havecome to realize that the development of the waste acres of the North means almost as much to them as it does to the Crucible It calls attention to what one man has done without any aid whatever from the state Others could undoubtedly do the same thing were they in possession of the determination and energy dis- played by Mr Frazer, but, as the’ Crosby paper suggests, it would be ~ DEFECTIVE PAGE | | | | | | Now and then a bold man says what all sane men are thinking. Governor Dunne of Tilinois, as ex officio trustee of the Sate University, protests in a letter to President James against the |jteaching of sex hygiene and eugenics in the public schools. He “honestly believes” that this tdéaching to boys create in their young minds a prurient curiosity which will induce rather than and girls in the open class room “‘will “Whe wave of sex hysteria that is sweeping over the country sprang from the noblest sentiments and the highest Jnelpfuiness. In wise and sane hands it hs set new barriers against the eter- hysterical minds it has rung bells of in- vitation before the very doors of that reaim, shut and darkened by the experi- ence of cenguries. It is the fate of every righteous re- ‘form, inspired by emotion, to decline into deplorable abuse by the excitable ~ and unwise, and into shameful abuse by defiled or corrupt imaginations greedy for notice or pelf. Sex hygiene has been bandied into sex hysteria by right- hearted, but not right-minded agitators, whose expurgated reports published by a reluctant press have inflamed the pub- dramatic eagerness to feed fat the pub- lic appetite of the moment for a price, by the alert readiness of political dema- gogues and reckless journals to give the people what they seem to want, whether (ith “white slavery” till it sees the pervs suppress immorality and unchastity.” || PILLSBURY LAND SYNDICATE. 1227 Metropolitan Life Bldg.
