Blest be the tie that binds. As soon as the balky senators find out whi way the people are going, they will get in front to lead the way. / The Jugo-Slav ponders over that 1915 treaty of London and wonders if the conference will give IItaly her pound of flesh. Now that peace has come, the professional liars {Germany mobilized to keep the people enthusiastic lean vo back to selling automobiles, !

OF LIFE FOR A BOY If these crusty old fogies of councilmen keep voting all the joy out of juvenile America the back to the farm movement will gain new adherents. First, the law makers stopped skating on the| streets. Then they tabooed the coaster wagon. A fellow can’t have a dog because the license costs too much. You have to keep off the streets after] dark, and if you yell real loud some nervous neigh-| bor telephones the police. But optimistic youth was bearing up under all these burdens and suffering in silence, but the last blow will be a bit too much. 7 City councils have started to prohibit the car-} rying of air guns, or even pop guns. j Fine chanée a boy has to grow up to manhood without some sort of a gun, and an air gun was the only thing that would shoot left we could have. But a lot of purblind old men, who never were} boys anyhow, regarded 4 few window panes, and| some sparrows, and some are light globes as of | more consequence than the soul of boyhood ; 80} they have started to legislate the air gun off the} map of .Boyville, and doubtless as soon as other} councilmen hear about it they will do so too. What’s a feller to do? When dad was a boy he had a shotgun when he was ten, and he could shoot rabbits and quail and ducks and squirrels, but now a fellow can’t even shoot an old tom cat, or.a sparrow without some big fat cop yelling at-you. tik.

' ‘ Aw, rats 5 They tell us that the lower class.Nas declared a dictatorship in Bavaria. Is it possible that there is a lower class than the one that was in power? OVERHAULING THE OLD CAR—WELL, YOU KNOW HOW IT IS! Long about this time of the year your face | bursts forth into a glad smile, you haul a lot of dusty tools out of a dark corner of the cellar and, despite your good wife’s serious countenance and dire warnings of disaster, you prepare to overhaul your old car. You whistle as you lay the tools out in a nice neat row. You hum a little song as you take off the hood, unravel a few magneto coils and care- Jessly twirl a couple of spark plugs betweén your fingers, You yodel the latest popular air as you whack away at the carburetor and extract the bolts| from the rear axle. And the neighbors, half block away, hear your carols of glee and think of turning in a riot call, as you unmesh the transmis-| sion and do a lct of queer things to: piston rings and cylinder heads. About noon you have the car pretty well scat- tered over the interior landscape of your garage. Youw/are still smiling, but rather thoughtful, as you hustle through the noon meal like a wet goods salesman scurrying through a dry town. You crack a-lot of jokes and you skilfully evade your wife’s worried eyes. During the afternoon you successfully smear yourself with grease from head to foot, acciden- tally insert a quantity of gasoline in your ear and put’the blamed car together again with an unac- countable feeling of irritation. About 6 o’clock you finnally get it fixed up—the only trouble being that_you have 15 or 20 superfluous parts hanging around and the fool thing absolutely refuses to mmf : The next day, as you steadfastly continue avoiding iyour wife’s eyes,*you send the car to a repairman. A month later you casually inform your wife that his bill is $78. “What do you mean—glad ?” you ask.. “Oh,” she says, “I felt sure your annual job of overhauling the car. would this year cost us much more than that!” It will be a long, long time before respectable words will be willing to associate with the word propaganda. ‘The only real difference between the Russian ation ‘and~the Mexican situation is tat the Ruésian situation has more preas agents. * Poor old China is frantic in her approval of tha¥ione of the fourteen points abeut the right of people to. approve or veto the economic ar-jkee One reason why the high cost of living keeps one jump ahead of us is because our daughters have acquired the habit of wearing silk where it doesn’t show. Gustave Noske says we should not mistrust Germany on account of her present military plans. We don’t. past military plans. International righteousness consist in appor- tioning territory on the theory that the strongest deserve most because they could make the most trouble if disappointed. Governor Zinovieff of Petrograd says that any treaty the’ Bolsheviki may make with thé allies will be a serap of paper. Any treaty the allies make with the Bolsheviki will be a scrap of im- becility. When we remember all the things the Hun ispies did in this country before we entered the war, it gives us a peculiar pleasure to reflect that the cost’ of their activities must now be added to jan already overwhelming weight of taxation.

Is there any assur- ance that when the state gets down to floating bonds that a lot of these expert financiers for their own good will not get busy and get some big pro- ;motion fees for themselves out of the taxpayers’ jmoney. If they do it in one instance they are very liable to do it again, having acquired such a keen taste for high finance for revenue only—for them- |selves. Yes, the dear people are getting beauti- ‘fully flim-flammed these days, andthe more lo- /quacious the talker the better results.—Valley City | Times-Record. | GRADUAL BREAKING AWAY | There is a gradual breaking away of the big political machine which has been gouging the | state for the past three years. Too many raw |deals have been attempted the past few months , so that it has dampened the’ardor of many of the jleaders. Attorney General Langer is too good a man to stand for some of the rottenness that the | bunch’ is trying to put over in bank deals, news- | Paper deals and other big promotion deals and has \¢alled a halt on that stuff. The big boss does not like-it-and is chafing under his collar, Tom Hall, secretary of state, is another man with an honest ;and open mind and an independent make-up, and he too will not fall for the deals the bank promo- | ters and newspaper. muzzlers are trying to foist |on the people. This pains the powers that be also. ; Then comes State Auditor Kositzky, who could not stand for the way the Brinton bunch was trying’ \ to muzzle the press and he influenced a few legisla- | tors to vote against the emergency clause. This | got.under the skin of Dictator Townley, who called the auditor on the carpet and told him where to head in with the result that our independent state auditor told his royal nibs to go to hell or words to | that effect. Mr. Townley:is reported to have said that he would get the axe the next election but Carl comes back by saying “he should worry.” | Here are three of the biggest men in the organiza- tion demanding a squate deal for the people and refusing to close their eyes to the big promotion stuff and other raw deals that a bunch are trying to put over on the people—in other words in our opinion these three men—Langer, Hall and Kos- itzky are absolutely square and want to do .the We mistrust her on account of her! i919 Steele, N.

Precedents, bah!. It was by break- ing precedents that we swooped down upon Europe after: fhe fashion of one gigantic storm. But, happily. the lightening, instead ‘of terror to the precedent-bou war-ridden multitudes, came rathe: a soft, re- vealing light which developed into a beautiful ray of hope and immediately became cont mus. The wind and the clouds were as a’ genuine revelation of-pent-up enthusiasm for the welfare of peoples everywhere and, as sure fate, the rumblings. willbe heard long as time. And then came the ¢alm. © And the multitudes were quietéd by hope—the hope of being: relieved: from the yoke of precedent uber alles, the unrest that was prevailing in the world and apparent to the naked eye when our regular he-man president ar- rived on the shores of Europe and pro- duced this calm, who of us can ever over-estimate ‘this leader of leaders’ contribution to the welfare of mankind —laborer, capitalist, and politician alike?
