THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER, (Established 1873) aD ——— AND THIS IS NORTH DAKOTA Bolshevism as it is preached in North Dakota by the Fargo Courier-News is especially emphatic in its endorsement of the soviet government of Hungary just overthrown. Trotzky or Lenine might well have penned this extract from Town- ley’s Fargo organ in some Bolshevist retreat af Petrograd: “It is also possible, however, that Kun’s fall is the result of a counter-revolution in- stigated and financed by the allies. Such a movement was put down by Kun only a short time ago, with considerable blood- shed. The allied governments are leaving no stone unturned in their attempt to over- throw the socialist governments of eastern Europe, and the fall of Kun may mark one success among many failures. “But if that is the explanation of Kun’s downfall, the change is not likely to last long. A government founded on allied fi- nancial or military support would not long receive the support of the Hungarian peo- ple, even if it brought some measure of economic relief. But that it cannot do, since the allies have made common cause with the capitalists, and allied victory must mean restoration of the capitalists, and the surrender of the lands and industries the people have taken over for themselves.” = Ss The Bolshevist editor of the Courier-News re- Jeased on a vacation prior to June 26, reigns again in renewed splendor. ; THE THIRD EYE In Detroit, Don Ward, 47 inches tall, married Oza Davey, a woman of ordinary height. A bride- groom less than four feet tall was exceptional enough to get into the telegraph news. But scien- tists tell you that your descendants a few thou- sand years from now may all be dwarfs. Prehistoric man was a giant. He had to be, to fight beasts like the sable-toothed tiger. As we become more civilezd, the brain becomes more im- portant than muscles. The intellect enlarges, the body shrinks. Future men, say scientists, men of the year 45,000, will have huge heads and puny bodies—look like onions gone to seed. You find the process reversed in the case of Mr. Horse. Once small as dogs, he was the pet of cave men’s children. Nature grew him larger— to do man’s heavy work until Watt’s teakettle gave us steam and Ben Franklin’s kite electric power. * Nature adapts everything to fit conditions, Giraffe got his long neck by strecthing to eat tender tree tops. Elephant’s tail grew small when it was no longer needed to swish flies, which could not bite his tough hide. Man, too, changes constantly. In the brain is a worthless thing known as the pineal gland. Zoologists claim it was once a third eye. Beasts no longer trail us; an eye in the back of the head is not needed. So nature boxed it in- side the skull. It is stored safely. If man even again needs a third eye, there it is, ready to be unpacked and developed. * * * * * Now feel along the top rims of your ears. They are jagged. Those little lumps are all that is left of the long-pointed ears of days when man was a wild animal and in the struggle to keep alive had to have a larger sound gatherer to warn of the enemy’s approach. Or rub your fingers along the furrow that ex- tends from your nose to upper lip. It is a scar ae by your forerunners who had split ips. Those same ancestors did not walk upright. If you have to cross a deep canyon on a narrow plank, you “revert to type” and drop on all fours, just like your grandfather a thousand generations removed. Nature takes good care of us. She gives us what we need and takes it away when it becomes worthless. The changes go on eternally. Scien- tists say the first life spark came from unfathom- able space, riding on light waves. It developed many forms—everything from carrots and orchids to fishworms and men. What is it all leading to? J. A. McGovern’s drivel about the poor cring- ing Minneapolis chamber of commerce as it feels the lash of the North Dakota grain laws can hardly impress the intelligent farmer. He knows that by order of President Wilson, distribution of wheat, milling and even baking is under absolute federal control. When North Dakota starts in the grain business it must bow to the same authority and _) eatceerett ment enn BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE market its product exactly as the Minneapolis chamber of commerce and “Big Biz” generally. As a menace to the nation’s morality the parlor still won’t be much worse than the parlor so- cialists, Congress does nothing about the high cost of living for the same reason that a babe in arms doesn’t read Homer. The senate is convinced that the president isn’t the whole country. The next thing it needs to learn is that the senate isn’t the whole country. Likely as not all the hero medals in the next war will be pinned on spectacled little men who sit over glass tubes manufacturing poisons and breeding disease germs. ~ WITH THE EDITORS | MR. TOWNLEY’S LEAGUE The full returns of the North Dakota election materially change the impressions which the ear- lier reports created. There is no change in the main fact, that North Dakota has undertaken the experiment of state socialism on a considerable scale. There is nothing Bolshevist, so far, about her performance; it is straightaway socialism of the old-fashioned kind, whatever the leaders of the Nonpartisan league may have in the back of their minds for the future. That being the case other states will watch with interest the working out of the experiment. But it may not have a chance to work out in full. That is what the later returns develop. Al- ready North Dakota seems to be losing its early faith in socialism and the Nonpartisan league, and if the league’s vote continues to drop away at the same rate at which it has been dropping, the next election will see a return to old-fashioned democ- racy, in which case the socialistic program will be abandoned very quickly. It was thought at first that the falling off in the league’s majorities was due to the notorious fact that referendum elections never pool as many votes as elections of candidates; and that, though the league’s ma- jority of over 17,000 last November was cut to less than 7,000 in this referendum, that fact might be explained by the other fact that no candidates were running and that the election was a summer one. It now seems, however, that this was not the case. Contrary to all rules and precedents, more votes were cast in this summer referendum than in the regular election of candidates in the time- honored and accustomed month of November. The league could not have had a fairer chance to test its present strength. Nearly 6,000 more votes were recorded at this referendum than were cast for the state tickets last fall. The league’s major- ity has fallen off from between 17,000 and 18,000 then to under 6,000 now. In fact, on the one meas- ure submitted to the people on which nearly com- plete returns have been received, the league’s ma- jority is 6,459. Now, last November Frazier had 17,782 majority over Doyle. t Nor does this tell the whole story. There have’ been three elections on this socialistic issue. In the first the Nonpartisan league, the socialistic organization, had a majority of over 50,000. In the second, as has been shown here, it fell to loss than 18,000. Now, with a much larger vote out, its measures are approved by a majority of less than 7,000. If that rate of decrease is maintained, the next election will wipe out the Nonpartisan league altogether and return the old kind of demo- cratic government to its own. It would be foolish, of course, to venture any such cocksure predictions as this. Many things may happen between now and the next election. The only thing which we wish to emphasize is that the Nonpartisan league’s vote has shown a steady and large falling off, and that the longer the peo- ple vote on the league and its measures the more they become aroused and turn out at the polls. Whatever may be the final result, such a show- ing is encouraging to American democracy. Those northern states on the other side of the Mississip- pi have been proclaimed to be the first outposts of the coming socialism. It was from there that so- cialism was to descend in triumph and spread slowly or rapidly over the rest of the Union. North Dakota was to be tlie carrier of the gonfalon.. The farmers were to be the monkeys to pull the social- istic chestnuts out of the fire. It may all come true, even yet. Strange things happen in these days, and the role of the prophet has been cut out of the cast in the great melo- drama of politics. But these election figures and comparisons do not suggest to our minds any- thing new, sinister, or revolutionary. It brings us back to the old days of the Farmers’ Alliance, the days of the Greenback-Labor party, the days of the Grange. Those were not very sensible move- ments, and if they had succeeded they would not have conferred many or any benefits on even their proponents. But they proved to be only passing movements of irritation among the farmers, and after awhile the farmers became good-tempered again and all was over. Townley, bent on social- ism, had the shrewdness to try again to utilize the farmers. Though prophecy is out of date, it cer- tainly looks as if he were about to meet the same fate that all his predecessors did.

Fred Ehr, Minot hotel man, must, of regret,’ writes Justice James E.| says the supreme court, pay Mrs. | Robinson in a dissenting opinion in which he most’strenuously disagrees with the conclusion of his associates | on the supreme ‘bench, while: Carl Bartelson gave’ the city of Portal a Perfectly good school building, ‘clear- ly worth $30,000, he cannot collect any sum in excess of $24,000, which was the amount for which his con- tract called and which the city can- not exceed without running over the constitutional five-mill school levy. Bartelson, the contractor, brought suit in the district court asking that he be permitted to collect rentals from a portion’ of the Portal high school building until the $6,000 which he held to ‘be due him on the con- struotion of the structure was repaid. The district court found for Bartel- son. The Portal school district ap- pealed and the supreme court, in an opinion written by Judge Bronson reverses and remands the action and orders it dismissed. The court holds that the building cannot be returned or any part of it segregated and that no further burden can ‘be imposed upon the city without exceeding the debt limit. In dissenting, Justice Robinson says: “No opinion of the court should ever be written with the appearance of cynical indifference to the cause of right and justice. The city is old enough and rich enough to be honest and to give unto Caesar what is Cae- sar's.” (Mary Reid a judgment of $3,625 which she. recovered inthe Ward county district court before Judge Leighton for injuries she sustained when she turned on an electric lighti in her room in Ehr’s hotel and was shocked by a heavy voltage due. it is alleged, to defective wiring. Mrs. Reid twice appeared as plaintiff in the district court, first recovering a verdict for $2,800 and, a year later,|@ $3,625... Ehr appealed from the sec- ond verdict. The. supreme court holds that a hotel proprietor is re- sponsible for the safety of the wiring and other equipment upon his prem- ises and that the judgment is just and shall stand. Can’t Move School. Because the notice of election did; not specifically state that there was to ‘be balloted upon the question of moving a school building in Antelope School District No. 7, in Stark coun- ty, the supreme court reverses a de- cision of Judge Crawford in the Stark county district court upholding the result of this special election. Christian Dieder, Jr., Jacob Kitzen and others are plaintiffs in this ac- tion, which the supreme court re- verses and remands, holding that the notice of election was insufficient. Langers Lose.

The supreme court sustains Cole and, in the opinion of the court, written by Justice Robinson, it says: “In this case the judge is commended for re- fusing to appoint a receiver because it would have done the plaintiffs no possible good and it would have done the defendants a great and manifest injury.” . The plaintiffs alleged that they were not let in on the reorganization of the Fargo Mercantile Co., altho they were among the original stock- holders in the corporation and that they were forced out of the organiza tion and arbitrarily assigned a cer- tain price on their holdings » which price they declared to be unsatisfac- tory. ah & ——~ [CITY NEWS } Returns From Fargo.
