There is nothing to do now, but to hope that the venture into state soclaliam will be as painless ay possible and that, the tax bills will prove the heat antidote by the time the next election rolls around, The lenyue had some rude awakenings in cer- taln sections of the state, and: the old-time ma- Jorition are lacking. Seeretary of State Hall, State Auditor Kosltaky and Attorney General Langer are to be conyratu- lated on the fight they put up againgt the forces which were solidly organized and apparently had plenty of money for propaganda purposes, These gentlemen put up a splendid campalgn and thelr efforts are reflected in the returns. s Where they spoke, the league received its most serlous set-back, Unfortunately the opposition outside of these men had no ef atrong organization to combat the vigorous and elaborate campaign of the Townley machine, The state now must settle down to business and show through careful management that it ean even survive the lind of socialized Industry which Mr. ‘Townley proposes to inaugurate here, Probably the sooner these experiments are tried out and the cont of their operation impressed upon the farmers, the better we all will be able to cope with the insues at the next election, FIXED ROOTING PLACES A Mitte oak tree was getting along very well when It suddenly decided that it would move over Into the noxt Meld, whieh it did, Just about the timo its roots were beginning to take hold it told ta trionds the sun was too hot out there and it moved on toa grove not far distant, Tho older treat overshadowed tts beauty so much there that it moved back to Its frat neigh horhood only to find that the trees who had stayed In one place were big, healthy oulas while it still remained a dwindting sapling, Man, lilo a tree, grows boat ina fixed rooting place, Hf he da the right Kind of a man, UH da oceadionally true that one bas been for- funate In selecting hin growing place, but even at that a degree of persistence and perseverance will win out. WHITE ELEPHAN The Ing of Slam, in years gone by, would send a White Blophant to a courtior whom he disliked and whone fortune he wished to destroy, ‘The man could not sell (he elephant and the expense of keep- Ing Hh eventually “broke him ap.” Krom that custom was handed down our pres- ent day daying, “he's got a white elephant on his handa,” The Diggeat and moat expensive white elephant In the world at present isthe “Grouch.” It is the surest animal known to man for destroying both fame and fortune, Wortunately this White Blephant cannot. be wiahed on you by either friend or foe, Tt can be aggravated once you have obtained ft, but. tirat it muat be aequived by YOU and you only, ‘Toara or the promise of tears that precede a grouch are aplondld for the stage or the movie, but we could do without them forever tn real life, More friendships and love affairs have been Washed away with fears than by any other agoney, Avotd tears whieh lead to golf pity that ty tum Hecomes a grouch—chronic or otherwise, FIRST-HAND OPINIONS We should form our own individual opinions of othera-—so far as possible, , Vow often have we found anjust the il opinion We have avcopted from one of another? How often in bocoming a new resident of a town, or in poing ona new jdb, we have listened to and believed ovil of a citizen or fellow worker, and all to be found untrue by actual contact and asso. elation? We have all lost valuable time, agreeable com. panionships and opportunity for profit by accept. Me judgment trom one of another, Forming second hand opinions is the source of prejudice and unjustitiod hatred, Obviously, the reserve is often true—in accept. ng good opinion of one from another, We accept good opinion of one trom another and live to suffer for it, ont agents or But second hand evil opinions are more often wrong than good ones; for we all are more apt to relate and discuss evil of others than good—we} should not, but we do. Then, a good deal of evil is engendered in the} carrying from one to another. An dthe same mistake can be made in accept- ing indirect judgment against books, authors, brandy of goods, new ways of doing things and po- litical, economic and religious movements, The principle of misjudgment will apply to any of these as in the characters of men. How often, for instance, have we accepted an adverse opinion from another, of a book or an author, and after our own reading to have that book or author become among our favorites? We may have for years been deprived of a joy and pleasure by accepting judgment other than our own of men, things and books. Allowing others to form our opinions and think for us is contrary to the independent spirit char- acteristic of free, liberty-loving Americans. Accepting judgment from others, allowing others to do our thinking for us was the whole basis of old world tyranny and is that of our own political corruption in the boss rule of today. Accepting the opinions of others is dependence. Thinking and judging for ourselves is inde- pendence. All of our troops have left the Archangel front, except engineers—the idea being that protecting stores is a much more important job than protect- ing engineers, THE GOOD OLD GAME OF GOLF About this time of the salubrious season a lot of us men folks are taking our first whang at the yood old game of golluf. You know how it’s done and why it’s done. One of your friends has been buzzing about the beauties of the game into your unresponsive ear for lo, these many months. He's been teling you it’s great for the health and fine for the ruddy complexion and bully for the dispo- sition and all that sort, of stuff. You finally weaken, Next you purchase an assorted group of sticks with hooks on the end and hie forth right merrily to the links where you tell the assembled pill-wal- lopers that you're going to show ’em up. Grasping one of the heftiest clubs firmly by the padded grip you take a squint at the globule, swing the club through the atmosphere hither and yon a couple of times, and then take a whale of a swat at the ball, The dust arises and clings about you like a damp mist. The club feels light in your hand, glancing down at it through the clouds you see that you've busted it clean in twain! Right then and there you quit, cold, BUT— that’s the way of the game—but, you see some asthmatic, concave-chested individual knocking the sphercold about eight miles over the hills and far away and you swear that you'll up and do likewise, that no has-been is going to show YOU up--you see, by this time the showing-up process Is on the other foot. You knucklo to it and whang and puff and wallop and perspire through the hot weather to the dog days, ever hopeful, ever anxious, and fin- ally have the celestial joy of winning a $5 silver cup after expending $182 for implements and les- sons, losing ten pounds in weight, completely ex- hausting your vocabulary and seeing your wife so soldom she seems like a stranger from your dim and distant: past when you chance to meet again. Golluf is a grand game. It does so much for a man—-not to mention the cute little things it does TO him! Tho trouble with prosperity is that it teaches our daughters to believe that pounding a piano is art, while making biscuit is drudgery. WHY BROTHERS AND SISTERS QUARREL Nature works in mysterious ways. League Program’ Seems to Have Been Approved by 8,000 or More) In Thursday’s Referendum Vote (Continued from Fage One.) reported to have made a complete re- versal, The league opposition in McLean, withonly two or three precincts to be heard from, has ine d its vote from 926 last fall to 1120, and has cut down the league vote from 1456 to 126%. Burleigh county, which gave Frazier @ mafority of almost 400 last fall, probably will not go more than 250 for the seven measures. Emomns 200 Against. Latest reports from Emmong coun- ty, kith but one precinct missing, show # majority of 200 for the opposl- tton to the Townley program. This result may largely be attributed, ft belleved, to the work of State Audi- tor Kositvky. He campaigned the same county last year with Frazier and won for the latter a vote of 719 to 452 for the opposition. A lows of Townley strength amounting to more than 700 votes 1g Indicated by unof- ficial returns so far available from Emmons. Effective work done by Secretary of State Thomas Hall 16 reflected in a great slump in Town- ley stock in Stutsman, where a a ma- jority of more than 400 has been transformed into a probable substan- tol minority for the Townley pro- gram. Morton county, with one precinct yet to be heard from, gives a major- ity of 175 against the league. Last fall the league majority was 700. THE LEAGUE'S CLAIMS, The Conrler-News this morning says: “At $ a.m, reports from 244 out of 1800 precincts In North Dakota gave a total of 10,669 votes for the state bank bill, and 12,578 against it. Out of 28,247 votes, therefore, or about fourth of the total, the opposition wis leading by only 1909 votes, As this total Includes oll the elties, with the exceptlon of MJnot, and includes only a few pre: cincts from the western part of the state, where the League Ia strongst, It Indicates that the bank. bill will win hy from 12.000 to 15,000 votes, “It has been found that there has been surprisingly little deviation from the exhortation to ‘vote yes seven times’ and the victory of the bank bill, which xkares honors with the Industrial com- mtxsion Dil as being the most popular with the farmers, will carry all others with {t, From present Indications the printing and educational bills will uot run more than 5,000 votes behind the bank bill, WIN BY 20,000, “We shall carry the state by an ay- erage of 20,000," suid More, state see- retary of the Nonpartisan League, at 8a. m." “Governor Frazier, who was In Far- vo Inst night. en route to Ada, Minn, where he will speak to the farmers of Norman county, agreed that the ma- Jority for the league program would be around 20,000, CITIES SHOW GAIN: “Almost without exception North Da- kota eltles showed it considerable gain over the vote on the amendments last fall, Kargo and Grand Forks showed an tncrense for the Jeague bills on the vote cast for Goyérnor Frazier last November, In all counties from which anything Ike complete figures have beon received the vote closely approxt- mates the vote on the amendments last fall, Inasmuch asthe total vote cast, however, will be about 10,000 larger, and Inasmuch as the seven liws have shown gaing In the elties, the majority for the program will run a little larger than last fall, NO MONEY IN SIGIIT. “Karly returns, as always, caused the opopsition to clalm yietory, Re- turns were recelved much faster than ever before, however, in spite of the Jate hour at which the polls closed. A number of Nonpartisan league sup- porters heard that the I. VY. A. had a pool to Wager on the result, When the league backers reached I, V. A. head: quarters, however, there was no money In sight to place against the victory of the laws, ‘Those who hive participated in every campaign in which the Non- partisan league has engaged say this is tho first election even held in which the opposition has not claimed victory, for the first night at least, It is con- ceded by all observers that almost every precinct still to be heard from— and only a fourth of the vote has been reported—will show a majority for the seven laws.” City Vote Smaller. Opposition to the league in the ci- ties showed a decline generally, ex- ceupt in Mandan ‘and Bismarck. In Williston, Minot, Grand Forks and Fargo the majorities against the pro- gram were considerably smaller than they were last fall, Tho labor vote is thought to account for this change. Morton Anti League. The anti-leaguo forces in Morton claims that county by 800 to 400 votes Wo are in receipt of a letter from a mother, asking why it ts that brothers and sisters never seom to got on well together; that while they may nover fight or quarrel yet they rarely live together in harmony, She says that this spirit manifests itself very varly in child life, that it was true with herself and her own brother, and that it is now true with her young son and daughter, and that she has also observed it in the households of her neighbors. Nature demands the propogation of the race, It sacrifices everything to this end, even har- mony among brothers and sisters, If brothers and sisters got on too well together, they would remain in one family, become bache- lors and spinsters, and would not form families of their own, It is a noticoable fact that the brothers and sisters who live harmoniously become separated only by doath—-seldom by marriage, Tho very harmonious brothor and sister of his- re Charles and Mary Lamb, Neither ever od, Dut remained inseparable as literary co- RONS, Nature forms families and it also breaks them up at the proper time, in order to form still more familios. A part of this breaking up process is not to al- low brothers and sisters too much harmony, but gradually separating them, even if it is nothing more than mild discord and disagreement, Yes, there is an unconscious and inner will that separates brothera and sisters. Mandan went six to one against the program; Flasher, 63 to five; Glen Ulin, 118 to 24. Hebron, strong for the league last fall, went fifty-fifty; New Salem, another former league center, went against the program two to one, In the rural precincts the vote js said to be divided, with Lan- ger holding his own in league terri- tory, where the program is getting not more than an even break, while it went two to one last fall. Grant and Sioux, among Missouri river counties, and Golden Valley, in the west, probably will go against the league the first two by small ma- Noritiogd and Golden . Valley, it ts claimed, two to one Emmons 278 to Good. Tho latest report from Emmons gives the nays 660 and the ayes 385. This report covers 25 out of 31 pre- cinets, With 19 out of 52 precincts in Grant yet to be heard from, the vote is SOL yes and 58t no, Kidder, Sher- dan and McLean seem stronger than ever for the league, Billings coun- ty, reporting seven out of sixteen pre- cinets, gives the league 171 and its opponents U1, The precincts reported are those where league opposition is strongest, and tha league majority will increase in the rural districts. Red River Stands Pat. The Red river valley counties ap- pear to be standing pat with very small losses for the Teague as com pared with last fall’s vote, The dig- Rest changes will be in the central} and western counties, where the Jeague loss may reach $2,000 or more. | STATE AT LARGE, At 8 this morning $64 out of 2,021 precincts gave on Senate Bill 157, the printing dil, 11,400 yes, and 18/170; no, 47.
