THE KICK THAT KILLS ! “One ounce of wood alcohol will cause total and permanent blindness and two or three, in most cases, will cause death.” ! That is the verdict of most health officials. ‘Your family doctor will tell you the same thing. | ‘Ask him. { i And yet this same wood alcohol is being poured, jinto otherwise harmless liquids to “give ’em \kick,” And on the strength of this “kick” boot-! \leggers and other illicit dealers in intoxicants sel it to their customers, i Yes, it has a kick, a tremendous kick.

Al-; most ‘a: year has elapsed since the sixteenth as- sembly appropriated $200,000 for this structure. There has been much preliminary work to be done, | and those in charge seem to have gone about it; in a thorough manner which will some time in! the future assure North Dakota a group of capi-| tol buildings which will be a source of pride. Let us hope, now that the ground work has been, completed, the surveys made and the whole capitol grounds platted, that early spring may witness an| actual beginning on construction. 4 | THE FARMERS’ PROGRAM Every once in a while something occurs to re-' mind us that'there is such a thing as a “farmers’| program”. somewhere in the background behind this maze of socialism and bolshevism and revolu-| tionary radicalism. We cannot quite grasp .the connection hetween the “farniers’ program” and Kate Richards O’Hare and Madame Lund and Dr. Stangeland and Walter Thomas Mills and all the other lesser so- cialists. with whom Townley has surrounded him-| self, and with free love and bolshevism and ane. archi’m,, but we presume it is there. And perhaps the vague hint which the rank; and file of the league; receives now and then that! there still is a “farmers’ program” somewhere back of all this will satisfy the bona fide farmer! who,is paying for the ai living of all this socialis- | tic crew. HELP WITH THE CENSUS Every good American who takes pride in his city, county and state should be glad to help with! the census. , \If the census is well done it probably-will bring | us some welcome surprises. Very few of us have any appreciation of the rapid growth which Bis- marck has enjoyed during the last three years, and the same has been true to perhaps not so marked an extent of the county and the state. _ North Dakota’s population ‘should be nearing the million mark. The capital city, we believe,! will be found to have very few less than 10,000 people, which will mean nearly 20,000 in a county which reported only 14,000 ten years ago. The census taker’s task is not a light one. Each individual of us,can help to make. it easier and to insure for our city a careful counting of noses, and it is very important that we do so. HUMANITY’S SALVAGE George W. Brunz, state of Washington farm hand, went to war. He was one of the heroes who came through the hell of Chateau Thierry, and while he came through alive he was injured so badly that never again will he do a hard day’s work. So there he was, wrecked, with his memories of an hour's red glory to sustain him through the! drab years. -Always before George would have been either | a begger, or an idler in some soldier’s home with nothing to do, nothing left in life, just a weary dragging out of-the weary years, ‘But not this time, for this time Uncle Sam had ; “aivocational educational system that took these} - battered, ‘these hammered’ and wracked men and - reclaimed them. And so George W. Brunz today is a moving pic-| turé operator and he is making better than $50 a week, which is considerably more than: he ever made in a month before he went to war. We dwell on George’s case with some insistence bécause it is typical of the new era where the gov- ernment keeps on the job until the last misshapen! and harried straggler from the ranks is fitted anew, to his life; usually better circumstanced than he’ was ever before. That sort of-salvage is inspiring. -A civilization; that makes men of its:'maimed, ‘and ‘that freely AS vo surgery’s best to straighten its crooked 5 an wation that ia loaline ehoad._ond This isa remarkable demonstration of indus- | trial vitality. . The Germans held the Lille area! throughout. the war, and removed to their own factory towns all the machinery they didn’t de-' stroy. Reconstruction, of the Lille region was’ lcounted upon to give the French more trouble than | repairing all, the other damage done by the Ger- | mans except in the Lens coal fields, But, France| has shown ‘she can put the breakage together | without exhausting herself. i The worst, therefore. is now over for the allies, : That is to say, to start reconstructing is to work, | not to mourn, When a nation shows it has learned ; |that lesson, after any great crisis, the worst is always over. forth no fatal predictions. The price of Europe’s | money does not tell Europe's real.story. The real; production, Great Britain’s rapid strides toward’ ‘recov ering her trade balance and the rebuilding of the Lille district by France. During the Civil War, gold disappeared from| circulation and it took nearly. ten dollars to buy | an English pound. American exchange fell over: 50 per cent. Yet, America recovered and is now ; the strongest nation, financially, the world has | ever known. When a nation is willing to oppose its difficulties | by hard work, low rates of exchange are only signs | of temporary discomfort. \ If this thing keeps on, we expect to see jewel- | studded overalls on the market.

Italians, are sharing their meager supply | jot food with hungry Austrians. Belgians are ex.) tending the helping hand to the hapless of Ger-| —oe ial i { { ' many, particularly the children. | It is a severe test of human nature—this show- ing of compassion for a late wanton enemy, but it is a test that is going to work good to the world in the long run. Cardinal Mercier, who challenged the German invaders of Belgium in the early/days | Jof the war in a way that won the admiration and fired the imagination of. liberty-loving peoples everywhere, is now pleading with his countrymen to do what they can to alleviate suffering across! ithe Rhine. In this appeal he again shows the spir-| itual fiber that is in him. | “Even if we were poorest,” he wrote to the |clergy of Belgium, “we should grow greater in a} moral and Christian sense by doing charity to our | ‘neighbors without distinction’ of races or Na-|! tionalities. National humanity would cease to be a virtue if it laid down barriers to Catholic icharity.” It can at least be said that the blood of the great war was not and is not on the hands of the chil- dren of the central empires. isinful rapacity of their elders. fathers are being visited on them. Whoever offers the largest of charity and good will to them does himself even more ‘good than he ‘does the | beneficiaries of his kindly impulse. By all means the little ones of Belgium and France are the first ‘forget that beyond this duty lies a field for the| exercise of Christian good jfellowship.
