(Established 1873) REZ | IN THE LAND OF THE EQUAL A washerwoman’s son won the first prize in| the national schoolchildren’s Victory Loan poster | drawing contest. | Among those thousands who drew posters were | the sons and daughters of professors, teachers, bankers, Jawyers, farmers, mechanics, business | men, physicians, artists, editors. Many of them came from homes of the wealthy and the well- to-do. i But the winner lives in the little cottage home of an Iowa washerwoman! Nowheres else than in America could that happen, for this is the land of the EQUAL, the dwelling place of OPPORTUNITY. Here a rail splitter becomes chief executive of the nation, a farm boy rises to be the guiding genius of the, country’s largest banking house, and the teacher | of a rural negro school is field commander of all| American armies in France. WHAT FATHER AND MOTHER DO FOR THEIR CHILD The father wants his children to have the best that life can possibly give them. He works and slaves and economizes with this end in view and, of course, he is always nobly abetted by the moth- er. In fact, if it is possible, the mother is even more eager for her children to have the best there is than the father. The college education that was denied the fa- ther the son must have. The parties and pretty dresses the mother never had to enjoy when young, the daughter must. and,shall have. “And when they grow up and: get ready. to be married they. must have.a*good start toward their’ own - home and plenty of furniture and furnishings and I that. It@enlyw en.a man becomes,a father himself ‘that bé:realizds what.constant care and thought and affection were put into his career by his own parents. And it is only when a man becomes a father. that he really appreciates his own parents for their real worth. Yet, despite all this con- ideration and work and striving that is showered =-on all children by their parents except in rare cases, there are still people who are continually arguing that parents do not realize their very great responsibilities toward their children. We some- times wonder if the people who talk this way ever had any children of their own. BEDTIME TALES IN 1965 “Once upon a time, when daddy was a little boy, long long ago, he scold newspapers. “And every night he would sel! a paper toa man they called a bartender. He wore a white apron, and worked in a place they called a saloon, and he sold things to drink to people. “He had.a regular trade, and mer would every afternoon gather there, and laugh and sing and talk and play cards, and lots of them stay up till way late at night.” “What made them laugh and sing, papa?” “The drinks. There was something they called whisky, and something called beer, and—um, let’s see what was that other drink—oh yes, there was _ 8 boilermaker’s cocktail; but I don’t know what they put in it. But it made men act crazier than! anything else. “And was that all the man did, just sell things to drink?” “Yes, that was all he had time to do; why he opened up long before sun-up, and stayed open until after midnight, selling drinks to people.” “But didn’t anybody work then, papa?” “Oh yes, men worked, but they didn’t let that interfere much. “And in this saloon there were big bright pic- tures, and rows and rows of bottles, behind a long, counter that had a brass rail in front of it. And there was a hot lunch table, where anyone could go and eat all they wanted to for nothing. And marble floors, and stained glass windows, and mahogany furniture; my, but it was fine.” “Finer than our church, daddy ?” “Not finer than our church now, but lots finer| than the church was then. Churches weren’t near g0 nice when I was a boy. “And now you toddle along to Bye Bye.” The public’s estimate of a revolution doesn’t depend on the number of people involved but on the size of the headline over the story. - |that nobody else will tackle it. 1S A REELED PE SRN PN LAND ADT | AVATAR ee ames aaa BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE e of.-self-determination wasn’t meant for dividuals.

One reason for unemployment is the fact that so many men who are too proud to do overall work have no training for white-collar work. The reason we recognize a thug government in 10 | Germany but can’t recognize one in Russia is be- cause we have cash coming from Germany. American goods are sold in England cheaper than here at home, but this doesn’t prove anything except that America leads the world in the pro- duction of suckers. Almost anywhere east of the Rhine six men can get together over a bottle of wine and pro- claim a revolution that will get their names in American headlines. An amendment provides that the Monroe Doc- trine is not to be affected by the league covenant. Nor will the greatest navy and Japan’s hold on China be affected by it. ER RATED | | WITH THE EDITORS | | CLEAN UP AND PAINT UP A WAR NECESSITY The National Clean Up and Paint Up Campaign Bureau is doing all it can to promote <iean up and! paint up campaigns—and it is in keeping with the trend of the times that just such campaigns be promoted. Calling attention to the desirability of a certain thing does a lot of good; where attention can be called to it through an organization, it has more effect—more wide-spread publicity is ob- tained—than where an individual takes up the work. Nobody has to be told of the advantages of such work.. Yet along about this time of the year the newspapers find it necessary to call attention to the matter and civic organizations spend a lot of time and money inducing people to do these things that: are: so. essential to personal comtort and to community prosperity. There are a lot of things to be diseunsed this spring—a lot of big news coming over the wires, a lot of big ws “‘hap) papers aréTéaded4. bn 4 dously important a: Ph b neither wars nor famines, nor the overthrow of governments are so important matters of discussion as are these sup- posedly smaller things of cleaning up and painting up and getting the community into sanitary shape and into ‘pleasing (appearaheé! forthe coming sea- son.—Dayton, O., News. STATE SOCIALISM Nobody outside of North Dakota will seriously object to the Townley experiment in state Social- ism now processing in that region, as long as it is not permitted to escape prematurely into the saner outland provinces. The trouble with “state Socialism” in America is chiefly in the effort of the Socialists to “try it” on every “dog!” at the same time. California is worrying under the Wisconsin or La Follette variety mixed with the “pure democracy” inflicted by Hiram Johnson and his band of Progressive uplifters. As long as North.Dakota desiresito make an “example” of itself in this regard, “horrible” or otherwise, it may be permitted to do so. If the experiment is successful, it may be adopted by other states; if it is a failure, we may rest assured We know of no people better fitted to endure the calamity of state Socialism, or to enjoy its ideal blessings, than the North Dakotans. We do not believe, however, in spreading the contagion until we have observed j the permanent effect upon North Dakota. It may Next thing she will be want-| the League of Nations. “It was when I was in the -fifth grade—about ten years,old, I ave been—and I had a teacher-that couldn’t stand me. I don’t know that | ‘Il blame her’so much, after all. 1 was} pretty slow. and grubby, much as you'd expect mémto have been, and I didn’t get on at all. My special night- mare was. arithmetic, which is queer, considering.” The consideration: was, though he didn’t explain Celia, that he had. uncanny — talent for “ve made up my mind ‘sine that it wasn't the mathemati part of the problems I couldn’t unde j Stand, but the English they~were ex- pressed in. However, that was no help to me at the time. I was the teacher’s horrible example. She used to say, over some uncommon piece of stu- pidity by some one else, ‘Why, even Alfred Blair wouldn’t have done that.” Celia made a little shudder of dis- gust. “How you must have hated her!” she said. Then, suspiciously, “That teacher isn’t going to turn out to be me, is she?” He answered the second question with a “Wait and see,” but to the first, he replied more thoughtfully. “No, I hadn’t the satisfaction of hat- ing her. If I could have taken her personally, that would have been easy. But she wasn’t ‘personal at all. She was—teacher—you see? Destiny.” All I could do was just despair. “Well, it got worse and worse, and one morning, on the, way to school, with a hopeless lesson ahead of” me that I hadn’t even tried to get, I made up my mind to quit, I’d have to do some desperate deed first, to get my- self expelled from school, . because atherwise I'd be made’ to go back. Then I’d go and be a newsboy. I re- member standing still, in the middle of the sidewalk, and solemnly swear- ing to myself—I think I said ‘God- damn’—that I‘d do it. Then I walked on, trying to make up my mind what realls matheny be as harmless as measles, or it may be as viru-| Tq do lently fatal as the influenza—but we prefer to let North Dakota conduct the clinic. The supreme court has been called upon to de- cide whether North Dakota is in legal accord with our form of government. That ought to be easy. But, apparently, whenever a state undertakes to govern itself in compliance with the will of the majority, the minority rushes to congress or the supreme court or the constitution with objection and a demand for a final decision compelling the majority to forego its theoretical perogative of self-government and self-determination. If the highest authority decides that the state can gov- ern itself, this minority immediately takes steps to “amend the constitution” depriving the state of its previous “reserved” rights. We hope that the supreme court will decide that North Dakota can have state Socialism, or any other fool thing it craves in the way of self- government. We hope that North Dakota will exercise its state rights to the limit. We want to “I considered pretty nearly every- thing up to the actual assassination of the teacher, but the particular crime wasn’t really picked out when £ got to the school. “Well—here’s the when I got there, there was a card on the door, There’d been a ¢ of small- pox and the school. was closed until further notice. “Tl never forget that walk one from school, There'd been’ a miracle that had changed the whole worid.

Cooking wasn’t so bad, though it was exasperating to discover that every ingredient that made things taste good was expensive. But washing dishes! The new Celia shared the opinion of the greasy dish-washer.

And the horrible fatigue of it! Before she had even fin- ished the washing part, her back ached as if she had broken it. And when it came to the ironing! Well, if you're curious, just try to iron a pair of double. bed-sheets by hand yourself. Before she got through with them, those two sheets represented. a visit, illimitable acreage—enough for a country estate. Then, Alfred had a horrible predilection for the very thin- nest kind of gauzy woolen underwear and socks, which had to be bathed as tenderly as a young baby. She told him, when he came home that night, with an hysterical attempt at jocularity,: that he’d have to wash thin for himself thereafter. Perhaps they'd Jet him go in swimming with them on. in the public bathhouse in the: park. They could dry on, him then and perhaps not shrink. The problem was solved by compro- mise. They learned to ve Jess reckless about things that had to be washed, and the flat things were sent out to the laundry. But I'm not going into the details of Celia’s -schooling.

But her spiritual attitude toward those -hard lessons is a part of the story. That she kept herself from sag- ging and drudging through them, and submitting. by this attitude. to a spiritual defeat. was due mostly to two causes. One of them was the conscious- hess that she was—putting it over with Alfred, to an extent she hadn't dream- ed of when ste made the threat the j night of the dinner-party. He'd been dangerously near right in the opinion of her he’d unconsciously expressed that night. The old Celia, if she hadn’t been burnt to ashes in the fire of the new Celia’s wrath, might easily enough have done just what her husband had expected she would. But you couldn’t make Alfred believe that now—not on the oath of the Re- cording Angel. He was still in the depths of contrition, as far as so hap- py a man could be. over the injustice he'd done her.
