(Established 1873) aii WHEN IT’S GOOD TO BE CRAZY An eastern architect recently remarked on “the mania of Americans for single dwellings.” The “mania” he complains of is peculiar to most of the human race. Before the war we didn’t call it a “mania”. We regarded it as a manifes- tation of an entirely human love for a home all one’s own. It’s a “mania” hard to kill. largely a nation of homeowners. While love of home lives society will be safe from every storm. It has made this y in that way. It’s good to be cr As we all predicted, it is will claim throughout future ages that they were never beaten. LOVE ISN’T BLIND Love is not blind. Cupid’s eye searches the soul. 7 Among our most beautiful contemplations is the happiness love is bringing many of the war’s sight- less heroes. They will walk love’s path of blessedness. The world’s womanhood, in its tender, gentle, | loving sincerity is recognizing the worth within. The many unions—200 from one reclamation hospital for the blind—are testimony to sacred ideals, the groping for the great Goodness. Love is a breath of Paradise. The more the Senate jabbers about foreign re- lations the poorer the case it makes for its direct representation in the peace conference. PEEBL Look at that shining white pebble on the beach. Rounded, polished by the waves, glittering in the sunlight. What do you see in that common little thing? Only a pebble? Millions like it on any beach anywhere in the world? Blind! ‘ That pebble is a thing of beauty lying on the counter of Nature’s workshop. All men and all women admire the beautiful. An artist might take that pebble and’ put it, cut and polished yet more, reshaped pefhidps, in the setting of a friendship or a souvenir ring, in a tie-; pin, in a set of sleeve-links—and what would that mean? . Why, it would mean bringing beauty for a few pennies into the possession of thousands. It would mean employment to hundreds in fash- ioning the settings for these bits of beauty. It would mean a new article of commerce out of a now wasted product of Mother Nature. Fine! Open your eyes! Look at the pebbles at your feet! Pebbles of opportunity ! Pick them up! Germans are welcoming their “undefeated” sol- diers home. They probably have not consulted the soldiers on the question of what constitutes defeat. American labor will find it hard to take much stock in the unprecedented prosperity predicted by American business men if the latter go through with their scheme to “liquidate” wages. A poor fellow facing prohibitive restaurant prices in this country feels pretty disconcerted in reading the long, appetizing menus which cor- respondents say they’re indulging in throughout “starving” Germany. Northcliffe and the London Times, Premier Lloyd George, Sir Frederick Smith and Sir George Cave of rBitain are unanimously for bringing Wil- liam Hohenzollern to trial and punishment.

ANOTHER “SCRAP” OF PAPER When the Constitution gets in the way, kick it aside and go ahead with the thing you want to do. That appears to be the policy to which the Non- partisan League bosses of North Dakota adhere. The world has looked upon various kindred per- formances in the last four years. One of these was when Germany, solemnly obligated to respect the neutrality of Belgium, ruthlessly violated it to serve a selfish purpose. Germany made; of a treaty a “scrap of paper”. The Nonpartisan League of North Dakota, to clear the way for the carrying out of its venture- State Constitution. That .was'a perfectly legiti- mate enterprise. Even the league bosses, before election, admitted the thing could not be done any other way and that the way itself must follow the terms.-laid down by the Constitution. The Constitution, by.a provision adopted in 1914, requires that amendments such as those voted jon must have a majority of all the legal votes cast lat the election. Five of the amendments,failed to get such a majority. In other words, the’electorate |did not give the kind of approval specified in the state’s basic law as necessary to the adoption of the amendments. Thereupon the league bosses hit upon an idea. This idea might be called a bloodless form of di- rect action. It ignored the Constitution—treated it as a scrap of paper. It invoked a state statute of 1892 in an arbitrary afterthought. This statute prescribes that a majority of votes cast on a pub- i lic question carries the question. The Constitution might be called the field marshal of state law. A statute might be called a general, a colonel, a captain or a corporal under the field marshal. The league bosses turned a deaf ear to the mandate of. the field marshal and took an order from a subordinate because it happened to like that order. The bosses, speaking first for themselves and then through the Nonpartisan League attorney general, declare the amendments ratified. It is said the state canvassing board, a majority of whose membership is composed of Nonpartisan Leaguers, will announce formally that the five amendments in question are a part of the Constitution. What the North Dakota supreme court will de- cide when the question is put up to it, as it surely will be, may only be conjectured. After January 1 a majority of that tribunal will be composed of men elevated to their posts by league voters. If, however, the court should uphold the canvassing board in its prospective action, the issue then prob- ably will be taken to federal courts for final ad- | judication.—Minneapolis Tribune. directed to the District court of Bur-| case the evidence and findings justify Hon.

E. A. LONDON, England. What is Biii Hohenzollern’s game? | Is he planning a counter-revolution ; in Germany when he thinks the right} moment has arrived? These are questions that allied Eurepe is asking as details of the former kaiser’s moves filter. through from Holland and Germany. It has been stated from. several sources that the kaiser considers him-| self “temporarily interned”. in Hoal- land, Doubtless he-is; because sooner or later the alliés are expected to put him on a But is that what he “temporary, intern- |’ ment? ?, Be Europe is fiitering whether he se- riously abdicated, or whether his ab- dication was just an easy way of “awaiting events’—merely a chance to attempt a comeback. Not that there’s a chance of that, either. The allies think that before many months jhave passed the kaiser is likely to wdnt“a home almost any- where save ini;Germany. German Revolutionists Reported Nervous. But at any rate the German revolu- tionists, especially near the border, where they hear of his doings, are said to be extremely nervous over what he may have up his sleeve. They don’t like the way he struts! about Holland, not only in civilian clothes such as a back number should wear, but also in full official regalia. Why does he parade in uniform if he considers himself plain “Citizen” Ho- henzollern? Holland dispatches say Wilhelm’s attitude is that his future will “depend on events”. Allied Europe doesn’t like that spir- it. Demands are being renewed for swifted action toward the formation of a Grand Court of:the Allies to “‘de- cide his future” for him. The British section of the court is already in existence—busy on investi- gations and assembling of evidence. It is possible that the ex-kaiser may | get his wish (if he wants to go back to Germany) at the hands of the grand court. One section of allied opinion leans to the belief that he should be tried by the -allies, that the allies should make known to the world every step in his crimes, sentence him and then Woman Can’t Find Words to Express Herself “After six years of suffering from stomach trouble J am»feeling fine.

GERMANY AND ALLIES ASKING; TRY HIM QUICK, BEGS EUROPE turn him over to the German people for carrying out the pronounced sent- ence. Advocates of such a plan say it would prevent any “martyr business” and they think that by that time the Germans would probably carry out any sentence imposed with fervor. Kaiser Raved at Hindenburg Detailed stories from Germany as to scenes at Spa when the armistice terms were received, may throw fur- ther light on the kaiser’s decision to abdicate. He is said to have read. the terms and raved. Hindenburg, advised im- mediate acceptance.and . the. kaiser answered, “Never!”,, Then he changed his mind,.but abused Hindenburg for not telling. him of the. seriousness .of- the situation. And it was after the decision to ac- cept the armistice, according to the reports, that he decided on the ‘trip to Holland to get “temporarily. interned.” It may be recalled that he took no of- ficial leave of the army or the people. But the rapidity of the revolutionary movement at that time may have had something to do with the speed with which he got over the border. There is much dissatisfaction with Holland for harboring and Host Ben- tinck is about as popular as his guest. Ope ee ee ee ee | Fallen For Freedom | , Wounded Severely.

Exports from this country sinee It entered the war have kept starvation from Allied Europe ais! have main- tained tle health and strength of those who have been bearing the brunt of our battles, so that they could hold out to victory, Now that’ hostilities have ceased we must assume the add- ed burden of keeping starvation from increasing its, toll upon ‘the millions who have been liberated from the Prussian ‘yoke. ‘Famine would undo the work which has been accomplished in freeing the World for democracy. No stable government can be established and maintained by a nation harassed by hunger. A starving people turns to rioting and anarchy. Food has given strength and courage to the na- tions fighting for democracy; it must now give the nations strength “and tranquillity to re-establish themselves in freedom and democracy.
