It took the late world war to make the distinc- tion in the use of this word as between a social state and political party. And even now the only distinction most of us can make is that one is spelled with a small “d” and the other with a big “D.” The word “democracy” is a good deal as Rod- ger Dolan said of the words “subjective” and “ob- jective,” that it took seven words each to define them, 14 words to explain the definition and 28 words to explain the explanation. But why not the simple word— Justice? Everyone knows what it means. We all have an instinctive, a soul-deep sense of justice. 5 We of this day, men and women, join the work with social, trade, political and religious organiza- tions in a sense of justice. Our sense of justice makes our laws and living customs. Men of this and for all time have gone out and overcome mountains, walls and towers; they slay and are slain—all in a sense of justice. Is not justice the word seeing that it causes us to do all these things? Do we not know the meaning of the word jus- tice by instinct rather through the processes of reason and judgment? ° S. CLAUS, SALESMAN Consider the case of Santa Claus. Old Santa is one of the things with the label “made in Germany.” He represents the spirit of brotherhood and of good cheer. Also he was a pretty good salesman for German-made goods. ? The National City bank of New York has just issued a list showing the character and value of what we imported from Germany in the year end- ing July 30, 1914—before the war. In this list of 53 items, the principal one is muriate of potash, 236,218 tons valued at $7,855,- 000. Next in importance come dolls and toys with a total value of $7,719,000. For five Christmases, Santa Claus has been unable to sell us any made-in-Germany toys. Meantime the trade couldn’t wait; it has gone else- where. Santa Claus had to see that millions of small stockings were filled. Good cheer and the spirit of Christmas meant more to him than Ger- many and when Germany’s heart went bad the old saint canceled his contract and went to selling goods for somebody else. So Santa Claus has “come clean” as they say. Some day, maybe, he’ll be working again for Ger- many but it will be a changed Germany—a Ger- many that understands and appreciates and tries to live in the spirit of Christmas, so that a nice, old, respectable gentleman with white whiskers and a twinkle in his eye will have no reason to be ashamed of the connection. NO WALKERS FOR PLEASURE NOWADAYS The old fashioned person who used to walk mile after mile on pleasant Sunday afternoons through the countryside, has entirely disappeared. This is the inevitable conclusion drawn by anyone who still pursues this ancient pastime and who has spent Sunday after Sunday drilling by foot over macadam and dirt roads frequented only by automobilists and an occasional farm hand trav- eling to a neighbor's. Walking for the sake of the walk has passed out, along with the one-horse rig, the glass encased artificial flowers in the parlor and hair-covered furniture. It had its day before the bicycle and the automobile and with the advent of these quick- er, easier means of transportation it dropped from the human scheme of things with a dull thud. And yet a hike through the country is good for body and soul. It gives the body a workout that is bound to be beneficial, it exercises muscles that are all too seldom used nowadays and it gives an opportunity for really seeing the beauties of the country instead of hurrying through at forty miles an hour and knowing only that you’ve seen trees and rivers and shrubbery. Hiking takes you into the heart of nature, makes you intimately ac- quainted with the birds and the flowers and the peace that cannot be found in the cities. And then, too, there’s a bit more fun in walk- ing than in scurrying around in cars. Take, for instance, the delightful sensation, after covering house you stop for a drink, of your hike, of hear- ing this farmer say, with all the awe in the world:| “Good Lord, you’ll win the bet, won’t ye?” And rentals from the hotel balcony should help some, The house has recognized man’s right to store liquor in his cellar, but Mr. Man will continue to consult the mistress of the house, as heretofore. | WITH THE EDITORS | AGAIN THE PEOPLE LOSE The last legislature appropriated $200,000 for “immigration” and publicity”, yet this paper is in receipt almost daily of advertising matter for free publicity from the different departments in the state, which they ask us to publish advertising matter FREE to boost the different new laws and the different departments. In the past the INDE- PENDENT press has published thousands of dol- lars worth free of this matter for worthy causes and industries, but as the new newspaper law has cut off our principal source of revenue, we are forced to refuse all this matter unless it is paid for at our regular rate of advertising. It is esti- mated that the INDEPENDENT press of the state has given more than five times the amount appro- priated by the last legislature FREE to the people of the state heretofore, which they will charge for, outside of the fact that already dozens of in- dependent papers in the state are forced out of business, and hundreds more will be forced to quit on July 26. It is a fair estimate that the people of North Dakota will lose more than $500,000 annu- ally by this new law.—Golden Valley American. THE MUTINY OF MYTH There was no mutiny among the American troops in Archangel. The return of the vanguard of the expeditionary force has cleared that up. The story did not ring true at the outset. Mutiny is not in the American category today. It is not a part of the American make-up and is inconsistent with the American temperament. Americans have things in their own hands in America. There are ample orderly processes for them to do as they please in directing their own destinies—which are those of the Nation. Abuse of temporary authority is certain to be overtaken by ultimate retribution. All the circumstances of American existence are different from those that breed mutiny and its multitude of alien kin. The men who served in Russia were tried as didn’t know why they were there; they didn’t know what they were to do; they campaigned in a strange country where the mercury was hovering between twenty and forty degrees below zero; they were, according to one of their officers, “pitifully underfed.” But as for mutiny! ‘Where do you get that stuff?” indignantly queried a doughboy of the 339th infantry.—American Legion Weekly. SOCIALIZING THE FARM Recently we asked how the farmers would like to have the tables turned upon them by a public, suffering from the high cost of all farm products, demanding that the government should take over the farms and run them in the interest of the con- THE OCEAN OF JOY BY A 4 fe Ml Pes “He ’ wiliiye ae Cie ° "CITY NEWS| oo) Judge Visits Farm.

A reader writes to say that farming dif- fers from railroading, since farmers have no char- ter from the government. True, but the subsidy given farmers in fixing the price of wheat sur- passes in its direct benefit any charter given to a railroad.

Saeste ae s+ Zeitung raises the question, however, whether this could be accomplished without prejudice to the general welfare and the people’s food supply. Strong efforts are being made in this country to have farmers engage in all sorts of socialistic ex- periments outside the realm of agriculture, but we believe the great majority of sensible farmers may be trusted to get away from misleaders as they are now doing in North Dakota.—Leslie’s Weekly. HISTORY Henry Ford’s contempt for “history” is prob- ably shared, though not always so explicitly, by a great many of his contemporaries. To say that history is tradition is to put it mildly. History is too often tradition distorted to frivolous or base uses, as a world still vividly conscious of history in the style written by German professors will admit. It is the exceptional citizen or statesman who will read the records of the past in a spirit of perfect detachment. Most often the past is a handle for contemporary partisan purposes. The past can be interpreted and edited and, in the last resort, dismissed as of no consequence. Implanted in the heart of the average man, when that heart is firmly set on a particular object, is the belief that the dead past has no lesson for the living present. Nous avons change tout cela. The revo- lutionary school of thought in particular refuses to recognize the meaning of precedent except when the past can be drawn upon for a good fighting point. Napoleon said he had no ancestors; he was himself an ancestor. So a pragmatic age cares little for recorded history, but makes its history as it goes along. The fall of Rome usually means nothing. When it does mean something it means what I stand for; never what you believe EVERETT TRUE .
