Father, who used to swing a wicked bat in the old days on the back lot behind Smith’s livery stable, is going to show. up his son and all his son’s gang. Father is feeling pretty frisky these days. Seeing the kids batting -out two sackers and everything recalls the old days to him:and makes him get out on the Jot, roll up his, sleeves, grip the old’bat in his unhardened hands and take a swat at the ball. Boy, that was some smash! Look at the ball sailing over the fence into Brown’s garden, knock- ing over a couple of flower pots en route and creating further havoc in the. pansy, beg, And look at ‘dad gircling thebaseah Feries gure is some speed in those lohg legs‘ of nis.

And there will be the usual high brow classical drama on the final night with local talent taking some of the roles amid suppressed comment from the audience about the abbreviated and flimsy costumes used in the ensemble. é There will be all this with probably extra trim- mings this year'concerning “The Aftermath of the War” and all that. But with all thg kidding’ the chautaugya, receives we all haye to dmip that it “Early mankind thought of things as active and passive, male and female, light and darkness, good and bad, hot and cold, winter and summer, day and night. The ancient Oriental circle, a de- sign now used in the advertisement of one of our big railroads, has one side red and the other side black. That circle divided by a curved line into two parts—black female, red male—represents creation, the universe, the world, everything. And as with the Orientals, so every American Indian religious ceremony is based on sex. “THREE IS A SACRED NUMBER. Why? Because it exhausts the natural possibilities of a you cannot think of life without thinking of death,| | | subject when looked at from a certain point of} - view. Every sacred number must do so. Three means all humanity. Every human being is one of three things—male, female, child. There is no other human being except the male, the fe- male, and the result. “FOUR IS THE GREAT SACRED NUMBER among all people of the world, in all cultures. Why? There are four cardinal points—north, west, south, east. Do not say, ‘Oh, well, that is an accident.’ It is no accident. There have to be four. All the world over, black men, red men, brown men, yellow men, white men, recognize four cardinal points. American Indians in some ceremonials, smoke their pipe north, east, south, west. BD are stay) - ‘ ad sila . “As four is sacred, there are four winds from {the cardinal points, théfre aré“four quarters of the ‘moon and four seasons of the year. “SEVEN IS USUALLY THOUGHT OF AS PRE-EMINENTLY THE SACRED NUMBER. But it is the least. important number of the lot. I suspect it comes from dividing the monthgnd get- ‘ting a seven-day week. P “THE LAST OF THE SACRED NUMBERS I8| THIRTEEN. Why? Because there are 18 months in the year. People tell me there are 12 months in the year but the science of astronomy knows that the number of months in the year is—thir- teen. ' “Why is 13 unlucky among us? When people pass out of one religion into another, the thing that used to be sacred and holy becomes unholy. That is why 13 is unlucky with us.’ We passed out of a condition where 13 was lucky and fortunate and sacred and beautiful.” 4 Use one job: and-training for the:nextijob.

His sensitive soul revolted against the class of music he was forced to play. But he schooled his will to rise above it; he imagined himself practicing, and through all the long, weary hours of those all-night affairs -he drew his tone pure and clear, and all the while keeping a perfect rhythm of the.dance. It is stated that here he acquired the sense of rhythm that characterized the work of the great orchestras which he attarran dircted 5 His next work was in a Bowery theater where} Shakespeare was produced and when the other| musicians went out during rests to drink and gives us a greater zest in life and a shngpolitan- ism of direct, distinct advantage in o1 infercourse with our fellow man, i Vif The chautauqua, essentially American: as it is, smoke and gossip Thomas stayed in the orchestra pit to listen to and study the lines.

He has trav- eled all parts of the earth, spent years among the wild men and wild women, and has been dec- . orated by the government of France for his ser- vice to the cause of human knowledge. Crap shooters who think the number 7 impor- tant among sacred numbers will find the professor ~ has evidencé that in old times it used to be’ the least important. And so on. Here is the profes- sor’s view. of “Sacred Numbers”: “Sacred. numbers are believed to have magic power and’are in constant use in the’worship of lower men. There are niany sacred numbers, but the five great ones are 2,3, 4,7, and 13. : “Many of you may think 7 is the greatest. It is the least:important. The rest are all more im- portant. ie “FIRST, AS TO 2. We find it: everywhere. It is fundamental to religious thought. It is fun- damental to the great philosophies of the world.

In 1851 he was made ‘second concert master of stars of this organization were Jennie Lind and Henriette Sontag, perhaps two of the finest nat- ural singers that the world has ever produced. Night after night young Thomas sat and lis- tened to those two women and trying at every note to imitate their pure, flute like tones on his violin. H ) ; it was through this experience that Thomas in after life recommended that all singers study the violin and that all violinists study singing. Thomas was finally made concert master of this organization—and well, opportunity—luck— always seems to come to a man who studies and works; for through the sudden illness of the director he finally succeeded to that position. Theodore Thomas took many large musical or- ganizations across the continent numbers of times and amid many discouragements and financial loss in his early days; but he did more for the musical education of America than any man that ever lived. He realized all his life’s ambition. : “His was finally one of the three best orches- tras in the world and it was finally installed in a permanent hall of its own.

Robinson The act was passed’ pursuant to this amendment: “Section 182 in Article 12, The state may. issue or guarantee the pay- ment of bonds, provided ‘that all bonds in excess of two million dollars ahall be. secured by first, mortgages. upon real estate, in amounts not to exceed one-half of its valué; or upon, real or personal property of state owned util- ities, enterprises or / industries in amounts not exceding, its. value, and provided, further, that the state shall not issue or guarantee its bonds upon property of state Owned utilities, en- terprises or industries in excess of ten million dollars.” On this amendment the vote was, yeas, 46,000, nays, 34,000. On the amendment for public ownership, the yeag were nearly 47,000; nays, 32,000. On the amendment for the initiative and referendum, yeas” were 50,000; nays, 31,500, These three great in- dustrial and legislative amendments pgo-together and mark the dawn of a new day. Under the amendments the state is free to.issue bonds, to pursue any industry or business and to make and(gave for the benefit of the people fifty million dollars. a year, You should note well those three gmend- mants did not give\the state any ‘new power. Thelr.effect was only to re- move the fetters by which the state was bound hand and foot and deliver- ed to the spoilers and the Lords of the Philistines. The purpose of the people and, of those who framed the amendment and) the Jaw .was com- pletely to;indo the fetters and hamp- erments.

It relates wholly to the futuré and not to the past. It pro- vides that the state may issue bonds and, that.all bonds which may be is- sued ‘im excess,.of twa-million dollars shall; tie ‘secured. .The' manifest pur- pose Was :to,authorize an issue of two millions; and all other. bonds, regard- pless of all prior. obligations. 4 The decision of our Court will be 20 reflection’ on “Sacretary Hall...

Its Political Effect in The. political effect of votes for North Dakota women may be far- reaching. North Dakota women showed their independence last fall when in great numbers, leaguers as well as non-leaguers, they gave their support to Miss Minnie J. Nielson of Valley City, candidate for state super- intendent: of public instruction, , for whom they. piled up the biggest vote ever jgiven. a, state official, electing her, by,,a-majority of 8,000. |..In this instance the fair sex is given credit 4 for haying displayed better judgment than their brothers. They also proved that they cannot be dictated to in the matter of, politics, even by their hus- . bands.- Townley has always appeared rath- er luke-warm on the subject of equal suffrage. .The 1918 election, however, caenae! his eyes, and shortly after that he ,undertook . the organization of “Ladies’ Auxiliaries” to the Nonpar- tisan ‘league. ,The movement has_not progressed to any great extent. Bis- vag a marck has.a small auxiliary:¢ ’ of the wives of Nonpartisan 1 ers at the capitol, principally app tive officers and deputies. Ovér’ the state generally, this phase of the league movement has attracted little attention, and the woman vote, should the bars be thrown down in the next geheral election, would be an. uncer- tain’ factor. “COMING TO BISMARCK «» Dr..Mellenthin system of taxation js a relic of feudal barbaridm which should be discontin- ued within the next three‘ years.

Long Fight Ends Since the resolution was drafted by Susan B. Anthony, the woman suf- frage pioneer, virtually a continuous fight has been waged for its submis- sion by congress to the.states. Among the spectacular features of the cam- paign was the picketing and other demonstrations of the so-called mili- tant suffragettes, of whom between 400. and 500 have been arrested, and 164 given jail sentences. The resolution was -drafted by Susan B. Anthony in 1875 and intro- duced by Senator Sargent of Califor- nia in 1878. Counting paired and ab- sent members, the senate actually stood 66 to 30 for the measure. The adoption by.the United States senate of the Susan B. Anthony amendment by a vote of 56 to 25, ends a national'campaign which began 40 years ago, and ‘which has been more or less a factor in North Dakota since statehood. North Dakota has wit- nessed some spectacular campaigns on the part of the Votes for Women lergue. There have been times when North Dakota suffragettes approached the militant. Their first partial vic- tory in this state was not won until the 15th assembly, in 1917, when there was extended to North Dakota women an. immediate limited elective fran- chise, under the Illinois plan, granting them the right to Vote on offices not provided-for in the constitution.
