There’s a lot of agitation just at present over the burning topic of whether or not a wife who has been accustomed to business work and who has been making a good salary at such work should quit and mope around the house after she is mar¢ ried or whether she should continue working. Should she or shouldn’t she? To which the only reasonable answer is: It all depends. And the main thing and about the only thing on which it depends is the amount of money the husband is getting. If the husband is making such a good salary that the wife’s wages are not needed in order to - keep up the home and provide the necessities and comforts of life then, by all means, let the wife cut her business career short and take her proper place as the mistress of the house. But if the husband is young and getting only a moderate salary and it will be a real sacrifice and worry for, the:wife to give up her position and her salary, 'then by all means let‘her continue working until such time as the husband’s salary increases to the point where the wife’s wages are no longer needed. It’s an old, trite saying that marriage is a part- nership and it has never been more clearly demon- strated than in many modern marriages where both the man and the wife continue working in order to secure the money with which to build up their home. : The old time stuff of keeping the wife in ignor- ance regarding your salary and your ‘business: is out of date. : | Women are constantly showing themselves just as good at business as men and even better. Surely iQ mere man could run the household as economic- as the usual. wife runs it. pscnmanne ASo, when it comes to the question of the wife working after marriage or not, it is the best plan to leave it. almost entirely up to her. She'll make the right decision; never fear about t! a “y © The man who does the most talking about what quack doctors are is the first to call one when he gets a pain in his tummy. TOBACCO Is ‘tobacco next on the prohibitionists’ plat- form? Will it be as hard to obtain in another generation as whisky or beer? Every man at some time or other lately has asked that question. The war has taken the curse off the cigaret. Before we “got into it,” cigaret smoking was more or less taboo. It was tolerated but had none of the respectability of cigars or even of pipes that smell like a garbage disposal plant. Our overseas army~has been using 425 million cigarets a month. Now along comes incorporation papers for The Anti-Cigarette League of Ohio. Several western states, including lowa, have long tried to prevent cigaret smoking. Unsuccessfully. But the battle against Demon Rum was waged in this country for 111 years. The fight against tobacco is just starting. We laugh at it—as drinking men laughed in the early days of the pro- hibition movement. P * * * - * . JEAN NICOT—from his name comes “nico- tine”—started tobacco’s popularity when he intro- duced tobacco to Portugal in 1560. Now the Unit- ed States produces 900 million pounds of “smokin’ an’ chewin’” yearly, not'to mention half a million dollars worth of cob pipes from five towns in Mis- souri alone. ' ‘The fragrant weed had been known all through history. People of Tibet smoked it 2300 vears ago. They called it thama-kha—which is nothing to what we have heard’rank cigars called. Just how injurious is tobacco? Dr. Wenck has proven that tobacco smoke cholera germs. a Dr. A. Debove of the University of Paris says: “All food will poison if it is taken in excess. Po- tatoes are almost.as rich in poison as is tobacco.” Cavallaro found that tobacco sterilizes the sa- liva. Tassinari and Molisch proved that it kills igerms—has an antiseptic value: ‘ One doctor says it deadens the brain. Another ‘medical man recalls that Stevenson, who wrote “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” in three nights, smoked 20 cigars or 80.cigarets daily. Nicotine is: a very deadly poison. One drop kills a cat in 78 seconds. The raw leaf of all tobac- ‘cos contains from one to eight per cent nicotine. Yet the smoke of ever ‘tains no nicotine kills oF st 3 ‘ . iF YOU HATE TOBACCO, you'can fitd med-| Dakota farmers for votes.—The ieal) records; of tests showing’ that»it decreases efficiency from 10 to 50 per cent. If you are an ally of the fragrant stimulant, other scientists have very kindly recorded other tests, proving it} harmless, } Therein lies the reason for tobacco’s popularity | —it satisfies. An obliging Weed, it agrees with foe as well as friend. Heavy war taxes have been unable to kill it. The well-meaning anti-tobacco people may be right, but few tears will be shed because they stand small chances of killing Lady Nicotine during our lifetime. So again we fill up the old pipe. Have you got a match? The Jap is opposed to racial discrimination and| the Hun to racial elimination. | Government may be red in Berlin before the; | peace terms are read there. | | The task that is delaying the work-of the peace delegates is that of living up to former profes-j jsions of piety. If we ever become fully civilized, we may out-| grow the idea that it isn’t fashionable unless it is uncomfortable. | The allies could have saved a lot of trouble if they had made an agreement about where they were going before’ they started. Baron Makino says that Japan is not too proud te fight, but is too proud to accept a peace of ad-| mitted inferiority. We hope he is Makino threats. | The conference has issued an official note | charging the press with printing false statements about what has been done. If the press has Faccused the conference of doing anything, the ac- cusation is false. i | | The committee appointed to decide who started | the war has been unable to reach a decision, and| thus furnishes another cause for the delay of| peace. Meanwhile the world is beginning to won- der if starting the war was much more of a crime; than failure to stop it. WITH THE EDITORS “NO MAN’S LAND—BUT MIN Aha! To the victors belongs the spoils. This; ‘is no man’s land but MINE. I will brand those who disagree with ME and MINE as Fools, Trai- tors and Dubs. [I will desuetude all who see more than the “fly: specks on the pictures and sit on my throne in comfort: I-am.the-law, and if-you say | ‘that’s wrong’ off comes your official cap. I am the majority.

As we support those who are classed as “fools, traitors and dubs” we cannot see the great things Townley writes, we jean only see what is between the lines.—Morton County Farmers’ Press. | EXPRESSING A GENERAL SENTIMENT | It is our humble opinion that Messrs. ‘Langer, Kositzky, Hall and Olson have pretty closely ex-| pressed the sentiment of the majority of the peo- ple of North Dakota. These men have not broken as strong for just legislation as they were when they were pointed to as strong league advocates. They have so stated a number of times in speeches before the people. What these men do object to is the autocratic rule of Boss Townley, and the vicious legislation that was forced through at the last moment. They are in a position to know, better than most of us perhaps, just how. dangerous this legislation is. | They know that it provides ready made a weapon | that is unsafe to place in the hands of any political boss, if the people of North Dakota are to prosper, jand not be at the mercy of a political machine. Some of the league legislation may or may not be wise. So far as we know, much of it is experi- mental, and its success problematical. It may work out well; or it may be a costly failure. But “noth- ‘ing venture, nothing gain,” and there is no great harm in trying some of it out.. With such a pro- gram we are in accord. : Certain other legislation is notably vicious and discriminatory. It never was a part of the league program, and was pushed through for two. pur- poses: political and greed. It is because of this latter legislation that these leaders have broken away from the boss. And, judging from the way. the initiative and referendum petitions are.being | signed, most people feel as these four men feel. | One thingsis certain, and all the lies in the world cannot change: _ Every conscientious man in North Dakota absolutely favors laws that. will build up North Dakota and make the people more. prosperous. An@ we have enough faith in North Dakotans to be confident that ninety per cent of them will.oppose unjust, vicious legislation just as soon as they fully realize true conditions.—Dickey County Leader. \ OBERT, WHERE ART THOU? ~ Obert Olson seems to be again astride the fence.

She felt a lump coming ; in her throat. For she actually believed that that was all the things were worth.

The patriotic appeal can? hardly be < stirring as those of months’ ago. ‘urthermore, in considering the invest- ment value of the Victory Liberty Joan we must consider also its effect son other i stments and’ this is the reason why the interest rate of the!

Manv_ veople. also. are inclined to ask: “Why shouldn't the banks take the loan? They hald thé money of the country. Fearful Risk. ‘The banks can, but y ata fear- fui risk. If the banks of the United s' are compelled to putfour or five billions of dollars into government bonds, they cannot continue to finance the business of the country. They inust get rid of the bonds speedily, and the only way is by re-discounting them at the federal reserve banks, accepting | Federal Reserve notes in place. or— what amounts to the same thing— c.edit at the Federa] Reserve: Banks. The result? The government, by a, round-nbous method. has-raised the money required by issues of paper j money. If five billions in bonds are turned into the federal reserve banks. }! means five‘billions in currency added ; to the country’s supply, which is’ al- ready adequate. and that means cnick disaster. It becomes apparent, veal sj bu Must Be Popular Loan. It is essential, therefore, that the Fifth Liberty Loan—ythe Victory Loan, as Washington calls it—should be a popular Joan, that the money which the government must, have with which to ircet its obligations, come from the avings of the people, und that ‘no den be laid “upon the banks which 11 prevent the’ propert-carrying on of business,’ the: financing ‘of improve. nts and ‘purchases, the meeting of y rolls, ete., ete. The rate of interest for the Victory Toan, four and three-quarters per cent 1 # four year noté, makes it atructive rom the investment standpoint. It is impossible to tell when such bonds will reach par or attain’ a ‘premium, but this is unimportant, : The big thing just now Is that the Government be supplied with money necessary for meeting its immediate obligations. and ‘that this money come from sources which do not unduly dis- turb business conditions. ‘The govern- nient’s paper may not bear so high a rute of. interest as the securities of solue private corporations, but the gov- @mment’s paper must.be taken up by the general public rather tha. by the banks unless the United States is tu evter into a period of -inflated currency and of corresponding fir ancial unrest, h will be full of peril. he government of the United States issued bonds in the sum of nearly iLteen billion - dolla and some thirty millions of Americais hold’them.
