(Established 1873) i> ——— AT OUR HOUSE WE ARE KEEPING SCORE ON THE ELDEST One day from school she returned with a record sheet which was issued by the National Tuberculosis Association. Mother keeps score on the child for eight weeks and if she attains a certain average she gets a badge, or a diploma, or something. We looked over the list of duties and at the record our eldest had made for a couple of weeks, and we remembered our youth and wondered what sort of a showing we would have made. Indeed we wonder how the average citizen would pan out if a scord was kept on him for six months. Firstly you wash your hands before each meal. You washed your face and neck and ears and cleaned your nails this day. You kept everything that was unclean out of your mouth. You drank a glass of water before each meal, and before going to bed, and drank no tea, coffee nor other injurious drinks. Brushed your teeth morning and night. Took ten cr more deep breaths of fresh air. Played out doors more than thirty minutes. Was in bed ten hours and kept windows open. Stood up straight, sat straight, ate slowly, attended to the body’s needs at the regular time. “I tried to keep neat and cheerful constantly | and to be helpful to others.” “I took a full bath one or more days of the week.” How about it? Could you qualify for a certificate? DISCONTENT Here’s a fairy tale for grown folks. Once upon a time a son was born to the king and queen of a powerful country. All the good fairies came to the christening to bestow some quality upon the little prince. Finally there came a fairy who wished to en- dow the future ruler with “discontent.” This made the king very angry and he had her banished from the palace. The young prince grew into manhood—a prom- ising ruler. But upon ascension to the throne, his country began to lag behind. A search for the reason showed that the cause lay in the absolute satisfaction of the young ruler with present meth- ods and ways of doing things. He never reached out for improvements because things suited him as they were. The good fairy banished from the Pipace by the father took with her the son’s greatest asset— discontent. Dissatisfaction is the greatest trait one can possess provided it is directed into constructive improvements. A man will stay young and active just so long as he is never entirely content with his place in life, and strives through honest, hon- orable means to better it. OUR FRIEND.

TOWNLEY’S COME-BACK | A. C. Townley is all “het up” by the barrage} jwhich four Nonpartisan league state officials of | {North Dakota are laying down in front of the So- jcialist bund that forms the inner circle and works of the league. | The boss of the league has diverted his atten- stion from the “kept press” and is using his flame- throwers and poison gas projectiles against Attor- jney General Langer, Auditor Kositzky, Treasurer Olson and Secretary Hall. Without using names, he calls them traitors, cowards and fools—plotters within the fold, serving an enemy without—and jhe serves notice on them that their political days |are numbered. | In this attack upon men whom the Nonpartisan league voters elevated to high place in official life in North Dakota, Townley uses precisely the kind of tactics he has directed against what he calls the “kept press,” meaning by that the newspapers | which have questioned the motives of the Townley- Mills-Lemke-Liggett Socialistic clique. It is the trick of trying to divert attention from the clique and to center it in hostile form upon those who challenge the sincerity of purpose of the real plot- ters. It is hard to believe that the intelligent farmers of the league will permit the wool thus to be pulled over their eyes. It is unthinkable that they will be quick to absolve the Socialistic bund of any purpose to abuse their good faith while accepting as gospel truth the unsubstantiated bill that Town- ley brings against these four officials and those who believe, as they do, that the pilots of the league are unsafe pilots, leading the people of the state into dangerous channels of public policy. Does it follow that because a leaguer or a non- leaguer challenges the bund that he is a traitor to the league or to the state? Is it axiomatic that Townley et al, are without guile and that those who oppose any part of their purpose are shot through and through with guile? What is there in the Townley record, or in the record of any one of his inner circle, that would make such distinc- tion and conclusion inevitable? Is the league program as formulated and forced through the legislature too ‘frail to stand’ the strong, clear light of publicity and scrutiny? If so, there is something radically wrong with it at the roots. Is there anything in the operation of the Consumers’ United Stores company that raises scruples in honest minds seeking the truth? If so, lis the right of the people of Nerth Dakota to know what is going on in that concern reasonably fore- closed? Is the league leadership interested spe- jcially in any other financial enterprise in a way that breeds misgivings? If so, shall a mantle con- tinue to be drawn over the facts? If the purpose of the bund be in toto the lofty, immaculate thing Mr. Townley would have the world believe, there is no light of truth that can do it harm. It would stand the test against every attack. Its assailants would be confounded. They jcannot be confounded with mere vituperation such as Townley has launched. Let him and his asso- ciates meet the issue manfully, challenging with logic and not with epithets. Let them, as good Socialists vaunt, themselves as doing, “appeal to reason” and not to libel. Calling a man a traitor, a coward, a fool or a conspirator with wrong does not make him so.’ Where and what is the evit dence? Who will furnish it, and when?

Without him, or his opprov- al, the commission can do nothing. It is given power to investigate itself or such. of its branches or various activities, as it may see. fit. The industrial comibission .directs the activities of the Bank -of. North Dakota. If for any reason the majori- ty. of the commission, not including the governor, desires to remove or to engage any one, or to take any step. presumably for tho good of the Bank of North Dakota, and it does not meet with the governor’s approv- al, it can not be done. Upder the .power given it under the banking act the industrial com- mission can put any private bank out of business. All loans to be made by Bid the Bank of North Dakota are to be made “under such terms and under such rules and regulations as the in- dustrial commission may determine.” Right of Eminent Domain. Under the bill providing ‘for tho Home Building Association of North Dakota, in which the industrial com- mission is given the right of eminent. domain, it can take the farm or prop- erty of any private owner “and sub- divide the same into lots and lay out streets, sidewalks, parks and gardens and improve same by building houses as provided herein and supply them with water, light and heat,” This means ‘that the commission can go into the manufacture and sale of heat, light and power. In the bill providing for the estab- lishment ,of manufacturing and mar- keting of farm. products, under the name of North Dakota Mill and Eele- vator association, the industrial com- mission is given the power to locate and maintain the places of business of the association.
