Next door was a man with a hundred acres of the same soil as the ten-acre tract, yet it was mort- gaged to the limit, and, had the neighbors not helped him out, the family would have been in des- perate. straits, It isn’t the amount of land or money or educa- tion you have that enables you to buy automobiles. It’s the way you use what you have. One man with only a strong body will accom- plish more in twenty years than another man with the strong body plus ten thousand dollars will in fifty. Many times the knowledge that one lacks this or that will make one develope and use what he has to the greatest advantage. One super-developed talent is worth more than half a dozen only half trained. THE FRUITS OF BOLSHEVISM—GREAT INCREASE IN OFFICEHOLDERS Every revolutionist, from the days of Absalom down, has complained of “Officialdom.” The near-Bolshevists of this country complain about the number of our officials and the inter- ference of officials in the affairs of everyday life. - Max Eastman, Chrystal Eastman, John Reed, A. Rhys Williams, Raymond Robbins, and other American defenders of Bolshevism, talk as though that was the Realm of the Blessed, the Home of Freedom, the place where everybody lived like everybody else, had plenty to eat and wear and where there was little law and few officials. We all know that under the czar, Russia was cursed as “The Land of Officeholders.” Now, it just so happens that a body of Euro- pean socialists, who were a bit suspicious of Le- nine and Trotzky, looked into this matter. It was difficult to get any information, but they finally succeeded in securing figures as to one province. This province had 12 administrative districts or counties. In the 12 districts, there was a total of 275 officeholders under the czar. This was an average of 28 officeholders to the district. Under the Bolshevists, in FIVE districts of this same province, there are 495 officeholders. This is an average of 99 officeholders to the district. In other words, there are more than four times as many officeholders under the Bolshevist as there were under the czar, and there were TOO MANY OFFICEHOLDERS UNDER THE CZAR. The natural result is given in the Isvestya, Bolshevist organ, of Dec. 1,1918. Itsays: “With a few exceptions, the mass of our officials are apathetic even to death, and appear only twice a month to draw their salaries.” It is a safe bet, however, that they show up at all the elections of Soviets, etc. - Trotzky had a Tammany training in New York. Trotzky is sure to apply in Russia the Tam- many principle of “Give every man who can con- trol votes for us a profitable job with nothing to do.” Knowing Trotzky and his training, it could have been predicted in advance that, under the Bolshevists, there would be a steady INCREASE in the number of officials and a steady DE- CREASE in the amount of work done for the gov- ernment. It is interesting to have the socialists of Europe confirming this as a fact. A BRIDE AND A GRANDMOTHER Some satirical person has said a young girl never marries an old man except for money. Pshaw. ‘ ee the case of Matilda E. Neill, nee Sei- ert. Mrs. Neill was born at 5119 North Eleventh St., Philadelphia. When she was only a week or ten days old her mother, in answering the door bell, took her out to the entrance to their home. It was the letter carrier who was there and after he had delivered the mail he tickled the baby un- der the chin and complimented Mrs. Seibert on being the mother of the prettiest baby not only on the block but in the town. The letter carrier was Edwin J. Neill. He has been on that route for lo! these many years. He married and raised a family. One of his daughters is married and has a child. Neill saw the Seibert baby grow into a small girl and then into a miss and then into a girl in long dresses. Three years ago his wife died. Meanwhile Miss Seibert had. gone to school and did so well there «that she became a school teacher, - Neill kept bringing the-mail-and for the last Miss Seibert. And now they are married. In- cidentally the new Mrs. Neill acquires not only a ready made family but becomes a grandmother. It isn’t every bride who has such honors thrust upon her. . Neill’s mail should not be so heavy hereafter. He will not be carrying so many love letters to 5119 North Eleventh St. to leave for the school teacher. THE BRIGHTER SIDE The divorce court gets altogether too much attention. When the couple in our neighborhood has a quarrel.everybody talks about it; little or nothing is ever said about the dozens of couples who do not quarrel. And quite a burst of pessimistic oratory is ex- cited when someone mentions the fact that some- thing like ten per cent of marriages do not end happily. If we only stopped to think of the 9 per cent that DO turn out well, we wouldn’t lay so much stress upon the other few. Why, bless your soul! most of humanity stays married when it gets married—and is happy, too. We could fill all the columns of this paper for days without end printing names of happy married couples in this city alone. Just today we ran across some wedding anni- versaries which we’d like to call to your attention. Now there’s Mr. and Mrs. Everett S. Locke of Lexington, Mass, They celebrated their fify-sixth wedding anniversary. Henry H. Levis and Mrs. Levis of Chicago, celebrated their sixtieth wed- ding anniversary. So did Mr. and Mrs. Colonius Morse of Georgetown, Mass. On the same day, Mr. and Mrs. Pratt of Corte Madera, Cal., were celebrating the SEVENTIETH anniversary. And that’s just a few of the wedding anniver- saries we read about in one day’s news dispatches. Is marriage a failure? It is NOT! WITH THE EDITORS | gator par eccenba eal | WHAT OF TOMORROW? The North Dakota farmer who fondly imag- ines that all his troubles are over, now that the Nonpartisan league program has undisputed right- of-way, and that he need do nothing more but sit down and watch the money roll in, is due for a ter- rible jolt. The higher his confidence in the “pro- gram” the harder will be the fall. By this we do not mean to say that the pro- gram itself is impracticable or that it will not work; that remains to be seen. But we assert that the league program is by no means a panacea, and that it will in no wise meet those compara- tively new and altogether grave problems which now confront the world. For the truth is that “the times are out of joint.” The great world war has brought to the surface the passions which inhere in the human heart or mind, and these take form and expression in bolshevism in Russia and other parts of con- tinental Europe, and in red socialism and I. W. W.-ism in America, Canada and elsewhere. The chairman of a joint legislative committee which has just concluded an investigation of seditious activities in the state of New York announces that there are between 300,000 and 500,000 persons in New York city who believe in and advocate the forcible seizure of property and the revolutionary overthrow of the government. Hugh Frayne, gen- eral organizer of the American Federation of Labor, says that “technical boards” are being or- ganized by the I. W. W. to take over the manage- ment of the textile industry in the event of a con- templated industrial revolution in the United States. The Socialist Labor Party, he added, plans to take over land, property and tools and put the workers in control of everything. Strikes through- out Canada and social unrest everywhere are manifestations that should give us pause. In certain of its aspects, what we may term “Townleyism” is itself an expression of this gen- eral upheaval. In connection with the referendum election a more or less successful attempt was made to line up the labor vote with the league, and this accords with Mr. Townley’s negotiations with the I. W. W. a year ago, and which were later repudiated by league members in this state. That socialist speakers at Fargo, Grand Forks and in other cities promised laboring men they would receive ten dollars a day for eight hours’ work during the harvest and threshing season if they would “line up” for the league laws seems to be an undisputed fact. If The Chronicle were in the prophesying busi- ness it would not hesitate to venture the prediction that the farmers of North Dakota will have a far more difficult labor problem to contend with dur- ing the next two or three years than they ever had before. And if this situation arises, it will be found that there is infinitely more sympathy and community of interests between business men and farmers than there is between the itinerant “la- boring men” and the farmers. Nothing is more absurd, indeed, than the propaganda which seeks to divide the interests of farmers and business men—which are absolutely common—and to unite the interests of farmers and organized labor— which in effect are mutually antagonistic. In the broadest and best sense, of course, the interests of the human race are mutual and common.—La- Moure Chronicle, a wet a year or two he has been singularly attentive to | WESTERN SCOUT, 60 YEARS OF AGE DRIVES MAXWELL SDAY, JULY 8, 1919.
