(Established 1873) GED —=— LITTLE SATISFACTION ; When the.Courier-News could find in the Kositzky-Liggett debate nothing to exploit ina seven-column front-page streamer more worth whole than the fact that for a brief time State Auditor Kositzky had his wife on the clerical staff in his office, there must, indeed, have been very little satisfaction in this encounter for the “Curious-Snooze” and the interests it represents. The Mrs. Kositzky incident, we might inform the newest editor of Mr. Townley’s Gate City or- gan, is old stuff. Everybody in these parts has known all about 2 00 00 i os | 1 cents, why should the same quantity of food over here cost so much more? = Of course, we never! hope to convince the boy of this, but it’s true nevertheless. Clothes don’t “make” a man, and a scrubbed face doesn’t make the map of one’s soul, but the scenic effect of a summer holiday is more} attractive because there‘are more clean collars and clean faces in the crowds. What cleaning up and dressing up does for one’s self, it will do for one’s dwelling place, the house, the yard, the back alley and the front street. It will bring more brightness, happiness, and all the other material pleasures of life into the corner of the world you occupy. Also, it is sani- tary, and therefore lengthens life as it shortens doctors’ bills. Yes, you may scatter parks throughout a city. You may build high sky-scrapers, mammoth city | halls, imposing monhments, cooling fountains, and public buildings galore, but still be far from a city beautiful. Nor do any of those things make it-a city healthful. For a city is nothing more or less than a col- lection of homes. That city with comfortable, clean, sanitary, inviting homes is a city beautiful to human eyes. it for two years and two months.’ It caused hardly? aripple when new. As we recall, it was “exposed” | in The Tribune. At least The Tribune and every- ; one else who chanced to have any business at the | state house was aware ef the facts. | Miss Caia’s K.-O. fell flat: * * * | | * Mr. Liggett’s rear-guard action against Mrs. Kositzky reminds us of the tactics of a well- known American little animal more valued out of | its skin than in. This varmint when corneréd| doesn’t pause to argue, but executes an abrupt} about face and succeeds in making matters tem- | porarily unpleasant for those in its immediate | vicinity. If Mr. Liggett had really been anxious to give, his audience information on the subject of nepot-; ism—and we might pause here to mention the/| fact:that this heinous offense of, Mr. Kofttzky’s| fas committed/at/a time when he was high ‘in the es of Mr. Townley and that it was known to ¥r. Townley and that it did not prevent the latter from re-endorsing Mr. Kositzky for state auditor. ;. As we were about.to say, if Mr. Liggett had really wished to be enlightening he might have} told about the governor finding a.soft spot on the sfate payroll for his neice; about another league} tate official who now has his wife on his staff stenographer. Walter might have held up as| a@’shining example the Macdonald pair—Neil and Kathryn—who side by side labored for two years in the office of state superintendent of public in- struction, diligently extracting for the benefit of the.common purse some $5,500 per annum from the state’s coffers. But, as a matter of faet, the 1,100 truth-seekers who flecked to the Auditorium last Saturday didn’t go there to hear about nepotism. It’s an evil not common to the present administration, nor peculiar to North Dakota. There has existed from the time of Adam and Eve this same inclina- tion on the part of job-holders to keep the plums within the family. The crowds were there to hear Sdme sober discussion of the league legislation advertised for debate, and of thji!Mr. Liggett gave them very-little. ~ - How cotild he, when his mind ‘was gallivanting§ all over Washington? * rs * * * | Mr. Kositzky in his calm, deliberate discussion of the issues now before the people of North Dakota, strengthened himself and his cause. He aided a movement which may some day give North Dakota a real farmers’ league, controlled by farm- ers, working for the good of the farmers, and not merely a machine for the exploitation of Townleys and Mills and Boxes and Hastings. : THREE SQUARE MEALS FOR 39 CENTS; IN FRANCE, NOT AMERICA Dispatches from Paris tell of the opening by the French government of a chain of Paris res- taurants which will serve to the public not less | than 400,000 meals each day. | The food is to be scientifically prepared so that the calory content of the day’s meals will be scien- erg proportioned to the needs of the human The price of the three meals is to be 39 cents. : But, the most interesting and significant thing about the proposition is that practically all of the food to be used in these restaurants comes from America. i _.Now, the man of woman who would, \under present conditions, try to live in an American 1 on 89 cents a day would be—well, we don't like to characterize him. The question that seems to propound itself in- | glass in the street. ; hostile Austria-Hungary, Italy has for neighbors new and friendly Slavic states—states that will be ‘Such” homes have flowers in the yard, as much lawn as the kiddies will permit, paint on the weather-boarding, and present much the same pleasing appearance you do when you put on your Sunday clothes and go out for a walk with the missus. You may identify such.-homes by the absence of tin cans in the back yard, the lack of rubbish in the alley, and the fsilure to find broken One such dwelling place is a picture to gladden a man’s soul. Block after block, street after street, of such homes, make a city beautiful. It doesn’t matter whether they are rows of mansions, or of cottages, the general effect is the same—that of cleanliness, order, beauty, and comfort. All this is the result of a bucket of paint, grass and flower seeds, raking up, and repairng. It is doing to-the outside of your home what the good wife does to the inside on her spring housecleaning rampage. og - Fe And there’is material-profit in owning such a home. And in having! neighbors who clean‘‘up, paint up, and dress-up their dwelling places. For it increases the value of your property to do this. Thus it increases,your wealth, not only what you do to your house and yard, but what your-neigh- bors do to theirs.

WILSON’S APPEAL FOR JUSTICE President Wilson has now boldly taken the Fiume case into the court of world opinion. His public statement is admirable in the cogency of its logic, the calm firmness of its tone, the appeal for just dealing it makes to victorious Italy. Unan- imously approved by the American delegation, it will also no doubt enlist the support of the Ameri- can people, who desire their representatives in Paris to make a peace founded on justice. The Pact of London, made before the United States entered. the war, was ‘designed to bind Italy’ fo the cause of the allies. It was made on the assumption that, when the war ended, there would be an Austria-Hungary to deal with, a defeated enemy from whom certain spoils could be taken for destowal on the new ally. -But even the Pact of London did not promise Fiume to Italy. The port was to remain Croatian. Italy now seeks, by giv- ing up the parts of Dalmatia that were promised to her, to secure Fiume in exchange. But, as Mr. Wilson shows, the Pact of London is a dead letter. It never did bind the United States, and in view of the completely altered cir- cumstances it ought not to be held as binding the powers that signed it. Instead of a beaten but \. in the League of Nations and committed to the policies of peace, justice and prosperity. It would be’ monstrous to deny them their own port on the Mediterranean. The only real argument for. making Fiume Italian and the Adriatic an Italian lake, was the naval menace of Austria-Hungary to\Italy’s safety. That menace has been removed by the results of the war. ‘Italy’ no longer has anything to fear. She can afford to be just to Jugo-Slavia. But the Italian delegation has withdrawn from the conference. This creates an admittedly grave situation. The present imperialistic regime in 'Italy may fall as a result of its'intransigent stand at Paris. But the power of Italy to alter the re- sults of the conference is dubious. ; Italy needs the allies far more than they need ther. Coal and food she must have, if her indus- tries are to revive and her people be fed. It may. be assumed that if Orlando and Sonnino do not ican. food from America over to yield, Italy will sooner or later choose other repre- sentatives who will do so.
