Yet most of these had grand- fathers who lived in the open and habitually gazed | out over the hills and fields at distant objects. This oculist has many figures and observations | to prove that we are becoming a shorter visioned | race. —- i i | Among these is the proof by exception—that | business man, and faith, to date, and good deeds; - gan of the predatory autocrats of the world thru past centuries. The theory of Woodrow Wilson, Jan Smuts, and the democratic proponents of a league of nations might be summarized: “Instead of always new wars to make new maps why not try a new way for the peoples of the world to change the maps when they want to and doing i: by methods of peace?” QUO VADIS? before seen on earth. vout humility. Our guess is that the Russian people will go to ably wind up as godless as they today are lawless. And then, in the Infinite’s good time, this peo- ple will emerge washed in blcod and tears, and purged through national misfortune, and, in hu- mility, will rebuild its faith and go ahead. Men and nations and races veer from extreme worshipfulness to anarchy. Times of reformation, of revolt against church dominion, are usually marked by utter license. Nations go on a drunk as thoroughly as tired those who have remained rural inhabitants and| those with occupations in the open, like sailors} and mountain guides, still retain their power to see | distances. | If man’s eye is changing to accommodate the} conditions of living in closer proximity, is not his| whole organism changing and to an increased | social sense? | If one sense, that of seeing, is undergoing a change to the accommodation of congestion, why | are not all his senses, particularly thinking and; feeling, undergoing a like change to finer regard | for the right of his neighbors and for a more har- monious social state? ; Social problems intensify with a closer prox- imity of neighbors. fg, The difference between city and country is| oticeable even now—in the legislative represen- tion of the two. The tural legislator cannot see the problems of | the city, and the city legislator cannot see those, of the country; their range of vision is different) and by reason of a different living environment. This {has at times been the’ subject of very) ide political breaches. - An organization was formed some years ago “that proposed to make Greater New York a sep- arate state by congressional act, and for the rea-| son that the rural legislative representatives could! not see the problems of a great city. | The late Tom Johnson, while mayor of Cleve-| land once proposed dividing the state into two} legislative units in order to separate the cities of | Ohio from its rural population. | But these legislative differences in all states! are being bridged by a more effective and less militant means. Easy means of communication and transporta-| tion are all making the two classes of population of one vision. 4 | The automobile has already reduced the dif- ference between the city and the country 75 per! cent, for the reason that it has eliminated time| tables. Easy, means of transportation and communica-} tion are as‘effective in correcting the social vision | as glasses in correcting the individual eye vision. | Easy means of transportation and. communica- tion are like unto near and distance glasses for! focusing those’ of long and short vision on com-| mon problems, and they are thereby making one} people. NEW WARS AND NEW MAPS “O for the peace of war!” said a professional military man to an American correspondent at Paris. He doesn’t like the business of fixing up a peace. i And of course, the fact is that nobody ever had any fun making the map of the world over. Alexander, Caesar, Hannibal, Napoleon—didn’t they all take a hand at it? And didn’t they all go flooey ‘with Nemesis chasing them with a big broom? : i Js there any harder job in the world than try- ing to nail down and fasten stiff national boun- daries that insist on being fluid and changing as the drifts of population and the drives of economic development? ‘ : _ It is this very thing that. is taken care of in the big outlines of the league of nations plan. It , is indefinite at many points because no man or. = group of men can by any possibility fix the lines of the future developments of the nations small have not become so innate in the human animal that he keeps on being pious,-regardless of whether he has a belief left in his old idols cr ao. It is more pleasing to believe that all men are naturally good, rather than that by generations of endeavor they achieved decency; but the evi- dence appears to be that humanity loves the muck, and has to get a mud bath about every so often to have the need of salvation impressed on it. Without personal experience of the javelins of evil conduct the saint’s armor seems to be wearing a needlessly heavy burden. A great man is one who is put to bed when ‘he ight cold. LITTLE SATISFACTION “The Fatgo(GhaxieeMaiieiadmits that the claim of the Independent-Voters—associaiton to 23,000 names may be. true but. says.that.the list should be examined closely and checked over care- fully. After’a’strenuous campaign put on to pre- vent the getting of sufficient signatures to the ini- tiative and referendsfm petitigns, it: must be rather alarming to ‘Townl atoothes seethis result of wasted efforts: But we would. advise them to cheer up for the worst will come later. Many of them will have to hunt new jobs and others will have to go to greener fields.” —Inkster Enterprise. SOME THREAT It would seem that every league paper works on the theory that it can threaten or frighten more successfully than it-can reason its readers into its | own beliefs. Following out its theory the Courier-| News says: “If our American junkers continue to fight the Nonpartisan league in every unfair manner, and continue to poch-pooh the chances of revolution, they might do well to remember that they are no- where near as well fortified against revolution as were the German junkers in 1914—who are now ifervently praying that the German revolution won’t get beyond the control of the once hated socialists.” The Courier-News in its closing paragraph says: “The Courier-News is not making threats.” No, of course not; it would never dream of doing such a thing. Nobody reading the above would construe it as a threat. And yet that paper says: “It may be that red revolution will be necces- sary in America.”—Garrison Advance.

But-of course they'd haye to have one. She spent an agreeable quarter of an hour among the refrigerators, and at last tentatively agreed upon one, Then they moved over to the kitchen cab- inets. At this point a cloud, the size of a man’s hand, appeared on Celia’s hori- zon. The young man—he was a very tact- ful young man —apparently became aware of it. Gently. but irresistibly. he convinced her that such a cabinet was indispensable.

It is the socialistic outfit that is in control of our legislature and of our state offices that has done more to impair the credit and high standing of North Dakota and hurt her good name than any other factor. North Dakota has not been keeping its publishers on the payroll. The pub- lishers have been printing legals at a rate estab- lished by law—something every state in the Union: ‘went home to talk about the new map just as atc -maps have always had. to be drawn all over ‘has—,and these publications will be no less under the monopolistic rule of the Brinton “Kept Press.” The rate is the same, but one publisher will get land the troubled quality. of her voice B| up the and began making a lst. “Speaking of fireless cookers,” said Celia presently, in the midst of thi: distracted him fromthe. labor he was proceeding’ with, obviously, can amore —“Speaking of fin cookers, how much does a sto¥t sa gas store?” “We don’t carry ~ 1.” he said. though We could get you one, of course But you could get a pretty good one.
