He continues: : What in es the general cost of living imposes indirect tax on the whole people of the United States which, in the nature of things, bears more heavily upon the poor than upon the rich, and upon the needy than upon the poor, because expenditures for the necessities of life absorb practically the whole income of the poor and needy and a negligible portion of the income of the rich. Inns tt etna ‘BISMARCK: DAILY: TRIBUNE man who stands in the middle of the line—the ‘median—has far more people like him’ than the one that stands at either end. That explains how Lincoln could say, “God must have loved the com- mon people, because He made so many of them.” And the average man counts in another way. compare one group with another, CATCHING BEETLES ) } One day Mr, Darwin was out hunting beetles, ‘so the story goes. He found one rare specimen, which he caught in his right hand; a little later he discovered another and secured it with his left hand, On his way home, he came across a very rare beetle. Both hands were full and there was dan- ger that the desired beetle would escape. With but a second’s hesitation—pop—the beetle in his ivight hand went into his mouth and the wanted i specimen caught. Thusly the three were carried home at the expense of a badly pinched tongue. An example of the resourcefulness and deter- mination of the man who gave us the ‘Darwinian theory which revolutionized all previous theories of evolution. You'll scarcely be asked to catch beetles in your mouth to succeed; but you will be required to think and to act quickly to grasp opporutnities as they come to you. And, very often rules of action will not be found | ° WITH THE EDITORS HOW SHE SOLVED IT Other officials of the government, and state | officials, too, have been running things in rings _in vain efforts to lower the cost of living. Most of them have becn too busy pointing the finger of blame upon profitcers or at labor unrest, to in- vestigate themselves and their own wasteful methods. This has been true of congress, more than of any other governmental agency, although | it may be said that the entirely innocent are as scarce as hen’s teeth. “It is earnestly urged,” Glass argues, “that con- gress deny every proposal for expenditures in new fields or the continuance or expansion of old un- less they represent imperative and unquestioned idea seems that the way to gave money is to save it, and you can’t spend it and save’ it too.! all the thing GEL FACTORIES “Little children in Austria are dying of hunger, Tnfants cry in vain for food. There is no milk. The mothers’ breasts are empty. Babies over- crowd the hespital Hospitals are hospitals no longer’ | They sre.called angel factories in’ mem- ory of the babies who die there. Barbarian warr put captive children to the sword to prevent a néw generation of enemies afising. Modern civilization has been even more eruel. It has cut off Austria’s food supplies, fore- ing mothers to stand helplessly by while their babies starve to death. At least the barbarian : . * “ ev sword was quicker, and the barbarians had’ a guided the North Dakota legislature in the work, reason. Civilization is not yet sufficiently organized to have prevented the tragedy of the angel factories at its commencement. That, O Lord, is our ex- cuse. But, civilization is well enough organized to prevent the tragedy continuing. We have government relief. commi have the Red Cross; we have congre sions; we governing bodies to act quickly. Every day’s de- ¢ral, who then was in good standing with the’ ins lay means more little coffins coming out of the Townley organization, Since that time Mr. Lang- ll angel factories. The war is over. The Austrians have surrend- ered unconditionally. They must do as we say, even though they perish. It is for America to close the angel factories. The responsibility is ours. For, we have the food. THE AVERAGE MAN F The crdinary “average man” is a number ob- * tained by adding and dividing. When'we speak! of the average man we mean something different from that. It is the Average Man that clothiers and shoemakers can always fit and count upon to buy their goods; and it is the average child that the wise teacher plans her work for, while the specially large or specially small, the specially bright or the specially dull must take their chances for a fit!—the Average Man is the commonest man—not “common and unclean,” but numerous anid: typical—the one to reckon. with and. count from—for he counts enormously at the polls no less 'than in shops and pews and theaters and schools. Who is the Average Man? : Toss a pair of dice a good many times, and you will throw seven about six times as often as you will throw double ones or double sixes; and if.you arrange a company of people in a room according to their height you will find more difference be- tween the first or the last and the one beside him than between a pair who stand beside each other in governor, and at the same time the Nonpartisans’ Indeed, if the group is very large might elect the attorney general. In that event it 2% the middle? you can be quite sure that the nearer you get to the middle the‘harder it will be to find a difference ~ between a man and his neighbor. _This man in the middle is though scientists try to prevent confusion by call- ing him the median. What is true of height is equally true of weight or intelligence or any other human quality with _ Seference to which people may be arranged, The Many of us are concerned about our own cost, of living, in which the high cost of food plays such a predominating role. We are prone to blame the butcher, the baker, and the grocer. We talk loudly and long of profiteers and the general all-around failure of government officials to cope with the problem. : i But Mrs. Harry D. Weeks of Seattle, Wash., isn’t worrying about the matter at all. For Mrs. Weeks solved her own high cost of living problem, as far as food goes, and she solved it well. One 40-foot lot, one spade, one hoe, a bundle of garden seeds, and one good, strong determination, did it for Mrs. Weeks. She kept her family sup- | plied with fresh vegetables last summer and put away enough for winter—peas, beans, corn, about a hungry family wants for break- fast, dinner and supper. Also, she found space in that erstwhile vacant lot to train a flock of chickens into egg-preducing ways. , | “It's mighty little I have to buy at the market, Mrs. Weeks said. “It doesn’t worry me at all to hear that the prices of canned vegetables are double what they were three years ago.” You'll have to admit if more of us had broken clods in gardens last summer fewer of us today weuld find cause for complaint in the potato price or the camied corn quotations. : LEGISLATING FOR THE MOMENT Jt is very apparent that opportunist policies jof its recent extra session. When any clique or body of men are striving for factional advantage in policies, they are apt tolose sight of the general principles and shape things to suit the conveni- ence of the moment, and that is just what seems jlo have happened in our neighboring state. At the regular session of the North Dakota : 1% i Be Aboye all, legislature barely nine months ago, large addi-; x we have the compassion of our women to compel tional powers were granted to the attorney gen-. 1 10 jer has asserted his independence, has refused to lend his office to be used as a tool by the Nonpar- lisan league bosses, and has been enforcing the laws in some cases to the embarrassment of these gentry. Though not stated in the call, it evidently was jone of the main purposes of the extra session to ,Strip’the attorney general of power, and here are some of the things it undertook to do: Cut attorney general’s appropriation to almost nothing for next year and a half; demanded that he resign; cut his assistants from five to two; de- prived him of power to name special assistant. at- torneys general and conferred such powers on the’ governor; created an interim committce to place Mr. Langer on the investigation rack; censured him for alleged misstatements; took control ‘of amusement licenses from him and gave it to the state sheriff, appointed by the governor, and took from: him collection of delinquent. taxes, and gave it to the tax commissioner appointed by the gov- ernor. The Townley organization, provided it can get the courts to declare these bills immediately effec- tive, has clipped Mr. Langer’s wings pretty close. That is the only; reason given for all this pro- gram of leg‘slation. It is one succession of expe- dients.to gain factional advantage. But suppose things politically change next year. It is quite possible that Mr. Langer will be elected would be too late-for the league to retrace its steps and restore the power taken from the attorney igeneral. would prove a sad misfit under the changed con- He is always the one to measure if you want to; ditions.
