The surprise is not that the Townley press independence as to openly confirm the fact. Of course, Mr. Frazier does not go to the length of MORE “REAL DEMOCRACY” The Townley press lays much stress on the fact that the Consumers’ United Stores company, which was incorporated for $10,000 and which has collected $1,100,000 from 11,000 certificate- holders, is finally to be turned over—what is left of it—to its certificate-holders, the farmers, who have actually been given the management of this Townley enterprise. If Townley has actually turned over his chain of stores—or what is left of them—to the 11,000 farmers who put up the $1,100,000 to finance this project, it means one of two things: Either Mr. Townley has been forced by the farmers to make them a real concession, or, what is. more prob- able, the chain store scheme has been milked dry, and Mr. Townley is quite willing that the farmer should have the husks. H. A. Paddock, Townley’s manager of the chain stores, and who, apparently, has no idea of re- linquishing the management, says the company has established but 33 stores. Not more than $10,0000 is, by agreement, invested in any one store. Mr. Townley, therefore, has had the use for two years of $1,100,000 of the farmers’ money; he has reinvested in stores at which the farmers |. have been permitted to trade, but in which they have no profit-sharing interest, a possible maxi- mum of $330,000, and he has retained for other uses $770,000. In addition, if there has been any profit on the operation of these stores, that profit has: reverted to Mr. Townley’s chain store treasury. Mr. Townley always insisted {that the Con- sumers’ stores belonged to the men who paid $100 apiece for the privilege of spending their money with these stores. The certificates, in their original form, very clearly deprived the farmer of any interest or any voice in the manage- ment of his store. And now W. G. Johnson, sec- retary-treasurer of the Townley chain system, ad- mits that the public has been right all this time, in spite of Mr. Townley. “The officers and directors of the company,” says Mr. Johnson, “always recognized that the company was the property of the members an that it would be formally turned over to them at the conclusion of thé formative period, and when it had weathered the attacks which it was known it would be subjected to.” But, of course, although the property belonged to the men who had put up the money, Mr. Town- ley knew they were incapable of managing it. He didn’t think it was wise to trust them with all this money, and he didn’t trust them with it, an nothing is said now about trusting them with it. The farmers may or may not get back the 33 stores which represent a maximum investment o $330,000, but which are more likely to have cos not to exceed $200,000, but it’s dollars to dough- nuts that Mr. Townley isn’t going to let them see the color of the $770,000 or $900,000 which by his own admission hasn’t been invested in these stores, but has been put to some other good purpose. Now, says the Townley press, “all the members who have put $100 into the concern will be given, a $100 share of stock in the Consumers’ United} Stores company, AND WILL HAVE A VOTE.” Just think of that! HOW LONG TO WEAR ’EM The United States department of labor is re- sponsible for some statistics on the family’s cost of living. A budget for a family is suggested. Included is some more or less health advice on how Jong we should wear our clothes. \ While it appears all right for the wife to wear her summer hat but one season, she should make her winter hat do for two years. Her winter coat should last her three years. Her winter dress, two years, and her kid gloves, two years, An um- brella should stay by her for three years. Please bear in mind that these suggestions come from Uncle Sam, not from the editor. The hushand ought to wear his raincoat six years, his overcoat four years, and his suits should last two years. Also (prepare to laugh) he ought to carry the same umbrella three years! Ever hear of an umbrella that stuck to a man that long? When it comes to little boys, the department is more liberal. They are allowed three pairs of five pairs of shoes. Besides, every little boy is | criticising the Courier-News. But by implication he suggests that the Courier-News is not in this particular instance dictating his policies. ~ A NEW TRAITOR Has a new “traitor” been added to the con- stantly growing ranks of Nonpartisan league state officials who have thrown down the gauntlet to President Townley ? Associate Justice Luther E. Birdzell not only had the temerity to dissent from the majority opinion of the supreme court in the Scandinavian- American bank matter, but he proceeded to give his reasons for not joining with the majority in a scholarly opinion which probably will be as widely read as the majority decision of the court in this important case. Judge Birdzell goes on record against “govern- ment by injunction.” ‘In‘so doing he strikes di- rectly at the root of Townleyism. The Townley organs have not yet ‘paid their respects to Justice Birdzell, but it is too much to hope that their hand will long be withheld. And when the brand of Townley’s displeasure has been officially applied the emancipation of North Da- kota will have been advanced one more step. SEARCH FOR POWER Sir Charles Parsons, inventor of the marine turbine engine, urges drilling a hole in the ground and make machinery. do all our work. Much scientific discussion has been aroused— and it is very humorous, for no man a% yet knows how to make a cable that could drill a hole twelve miles deep without breaking of its own weight. “T never thought of that.” The greatest depth to which man has pierced the earth is the interesting test well southeast of Fairmont, W. Va., drilled to see if oil or gas existed in the deep Canton sand. | This well has recently been abandoned at the depth of 7,579 feet. The cable broke. Algo the drilling bits swelled under the great heat and stuck. At 7,000 feet the temperature was 172 degrees and increasing a degree every 51 feet. Sir Charles Parsons’ suggestion comes just one hundred years after the death of a man who revolutionized production almost as much as would the discovery of unlimited power. That man was James Watt, who developed the steam engine to a practical stage. Watt did not, as is commonly believed, invent the steam engine. His patent of 1769 was only an improvement on a successful steam engine built by Thomas New- comen in 1705. A real steam engine was exhibited in Alexan- dria, Egypt, about 8700 years before Watt watched steam escape from his grandma’s tea- kettle. The great reporter, Hero of Alexander, tells all about it in a work on pneumatics written 150 B. C.. Our National Museum has a recon- structed model of it. Man’s search for power to lessen his labors is as old as history. And nature has just begun | to unlock her secrets. The nearest approach to perpetual motion was a clock constructed in 1774 by James Cox, a jew- eler of Shoe Lane, London. This clock kept the scientific world guessing for years. The energy that made it run was de- rived from the changes in atmospheric pressure —d barometer was the sole motive power. Ferguson, the scientist, saw this clock; said i! unquestionably would run until its parts wore out. The last heard of it, it had been sent as a gift to a Chinese emperor, from whom it later was stolen. Is it still running? 4 Edison believes that the so-called psychic force will some day be controlled and utilized as we now use electricity. Attempts are being made to harness volcanoes. Various long-haired inventors speak gravely of taking a perpetual electric current from the earth and the air. Sun motors by which mirrors gather rays from the sun, focus them on a boiler and produce steam, have been developed to an advanced stage. ' Harnessing the vast energy of the tides appears at hand. 4 Nature has placed unlimited power all about us. Man’s progress is by learning to capture and utilize that power. . Startling discoveries in the way of unlimited power are possible, They may: come within our lifetime. } j This is what we would call rank favoritism to little boys.

M. SIMONS, Head of American Labor Commission in Europe During the War, and Who Has Long Been Prominent in Midwest Union Labor Council. Education and democracy must be driven abreast. They will. not swork tandem. If either one gets far ahead of the other the social cart is doomed to an upset. Russia illustrates both phases of the rule. The autocracy was yoked to a people with a touch of western edu- cation, a partial knowledge of democ- racy and many theoretical ideas of constitutional liberty. The conflict wrecked the old civilization. and Trotzky tried to drive a people, ignorant of the machinery of self- government, untrained in national democracy and wholly lacking the An- struments of popular rule, into a labor-ruled communism. — The result was misery and chaos with reaction in sight. It was because democratic forms outran their educational content that a Spanish republic gave way to a mon- archy, so many Latin-American re- peblics failed to function and that a republic was twice abandoned even in France. A “model constitutidn” in Mexico brought, not the expected free- dom and equality, but Diaz and dic- tatorship, followed by revolution and another test of democracy, the suc- cess of which depends upon the de- gree to which popular education keeps abreast of the progress of democratic institutions. DEMOCRACY NEVER FAILS, Democracy is a tool, an instrument. It does not fail. A people may fail to use it and reject it until they are ca- pable of mastering its craftmanship. That mastery may not come with literacy alone. Popular self-control, tolerance, the spirit of compromise and patience to await results ‘of ex- periments, with skill'to profit by mis- takes are even more important qual- ifications. Fortunately once an equilibrium be- tween education and democracy is es- tablished and self-government be- comes a going institution, the process tends to become automatic. This is the hope and the strength of democ- racy—that it educates! its citizens, tests the results of their education and thereby moves forward. Universal suffrage, legislation’ by majorities, elections, popular campaigns and free- dom of criticism of public acts con- stitute a universal school of citizen- GO NO FARTHER The Evidence It at Your Door. Bismarck proof ig what you want and the statement of this highly re- spected resident will banish all doubt: L.

Even such training does not always avoid mistakes, but it enables people to pro- js fit by their mistakes. These general rules are a crushing! reply to advocates of “direct action,” ! “proletarian dictatorship,” and other methods of suddenly and violently in-) creasing the power of labor in indus-', ry. Modern industry is complex, tech- | nical, delicately poised upon great} eredit structures and international re. lations. To democratize its operation without elaborate edu€ational prepa- ration through that discussion and persuasion which converts a majority is to make certain the failure and col- lapse of industrial life. A majority that cannot be convinced of the de- sirability of a plan certainly cannot carry it out. Any nation that adopts undemocrat- ie methods thereby proves its unfit- ness for self-government. Any people ready for industrial democracy will be too intelligent to be fooled by a “dictatorship of the proletariat” or to long endure a dictatorship of pos- sessors. bs EFFICIENCY AND MOVIES “.'

FARGO HAS FIRST WOMAN DIRECTOR OF LABOR BUREAU Mrs. Mintie B. Bowe of Fargo, who was superintendent of the Woman’s division of the North Dakota office in Fargo of the United States Employ- ment service, has been appointed fed- eral state director of the state office, which will be reopened in Fargo next week. Her appointment makes.North| Dakota the only state in the United States having a women federal state director of the service. Mrs. Bowe has ‘been a resident of Fargo for the past 12 years, and for a number of years was employed in general office work. Having lived in North. Dakota since she was four Jéars old, she is thoroughly acquainted with the state in both rural and city localities. Her many Fargo friends will ‘be pleased to learn of her ap- pointment. s The newAffices of the United States Employment service will be open for]. business next Monday, but the loca- tion has not as yet been entirely de- cided upon. later. In Mrs. Bowe’s new activities, her plan is to give the best service to the greatest number of people, and she is hoping in a short time to en- large the office and the scope of activ- ities the office will cover. .. First Opened in 1918 The first United States Employ- ment office in North Dakota was es- tablished in Fargo in March, 1918, with Mrs. Bowe placed. as an assist- ant. As there were so.many. posi- tions handled, it was necessary to es- tablish a Woman’s division, and Mrs. Bowe received the appointment as superintendent, She held. this posi- tion’ until Oct. 10, last, when the office was closed for lack of funds.

This service was first estab- lished as a war emergency, with a temporary appropriation. « 8 ’ Called to Washington Last March when one person from each state was called to Washington, D. C., for special training in this work, ‘Mrs. Bowe was elected to go from North Dakota. The special training consisted of lectures, discus- sions and talks on the best methods to be used in serving the general pub- lic in employment work. The United States Employment service endeavors to place in positions from a common laborer to a skilled and professional worker, both men and women. Mrs. Bowe is well quali- fied for this work, and her aim is to place each individual in the line of work in which they are best fitted. Through Mrs. Bowe’s efforts, while serving as superintendent of the | Woman’s division, hundreds of women were found suitable and agreeable em- else ployment, from the housemaid to . those looking for positions along the clerical and professional lines. The aim is to give the best service possible to both employer and employe in se- curing positions as well:as finding help for those who. are in need of such, Mrs. Bowe says. } St eecarasneannc enn | CITY NEWS | —<—————__ ——-—* Fortnightly Club The Fortnightly club will meet in the community room of the public library.
