Totten, chairman of Frazier’s state board of pro- pagation, Mrs. Alexis Georgian of Minneapolis as a worthy successor to Dr. Charles E. Stangeland, “educational expert” and state library surveyor. Mrs. Georgian, wife of a well known radical, has been ousted from her book shop in Minneapolis by an order of the municipal court, which finds that Mrs. Georgian has “permitted immoral prac- tices—such immoral practices consisting in the sale of literature advocating disloyalty, mutiny and desertion and refusal to abide by the laws; _ the United States government.” In North: Dakota, thanks. to our soviets, one “need not go to a private bookshop for literature , advocating disloyalty, mutiny and desertion and refusal.to abide by tme laws of the United States. Our children will find an abundant assortment of it in the traveling libraries arranged by the li- brarian whom ‘Dr. Charles A. Beard, lecturer of the Rand school of socialism, and friend of slack- .ers and conscientious objectors, has kindly se- lected for North Dakota. Now that the President has signed the bill, gov- ernment could control sugar if the profiteers didn’t have a. strangle hold on it. pat BNEatoa ne ‘ THE ADAMS BUNGALOW _ Mr, Adams, accountant for the state railway commission, is.to be congratulated upon posses- sion of his $5,000, state-built bungalow. The Tribune regrets that it cannot extend similar con-| gratulations to the state, which has an equal in-| ". terest in this bungalow, but which never will oc- « cupy it nor enjoy: its comforts.’ eed - In computing the cost of this new: dwelling, the first and only home built by the state home build - ing association during its six months’ operations, Mr. Adams, able accountant tho he may be, seems t ohave overlooked some important items of ”over- head.” “ While Mr..Adams was his own contractor, the association was the actual supervisor of this. first state-building job, and the expense of such supervision, which comprises six months’ work on the part of the home building association, is somewhere between $7,500 and $10,000. Of course, later on, this overhead will be distributed, but additional expenses will also be incurred. So it is safe to say that the first state-built bunga- low has cost North Dakota fully as much as it has Mr. Adams. 2 There is no disposition on the part*of The Trib- une to be unjust. Under capable, efficient, con- servative, non-political management there is a} bare possibility that the state home building asso- ciation might prove an exception to the rule; that it might become a helpful factor in acquiring’ farms or homes for ambitious young people. But so long as this association, with its $100,000 initial appropriation, with its $5,000 a year man- ager and its $3,600 per year assistant, and its| corps of .stenographers, consumes six months in building one six-room bungalow we can see no great occasioy for hope. The most important thing the home building association has done to date was to furnish a job with a $600 advance in salary for Bill Prater when the land commission kicked him out. The chap who is spending all he makes for things he doesn’t need is the one who will curse the “system that keeps men poor” when times; change. : ‘HITS NAIL ON HEAD Governor Cornwell of ‘West Virginia makes a; timely analysis of the present class struggle that threatens our representative government, and} promises if not checked to sweep from their moor- ings. many cherished institutions. He hits bed- rock in this: “It has been quite hard to get the average citizen to understand or to bring him to ap- preciate the fact that the struggle the radi- cals have precipitated is not an economic one. It is not a fight in reality for a fair wage in return for an honest day’s work. Nor is it a fight to reduce the cost of living or for better- ing living. conditions. It is a social and po- litical onslaught upon our form of government and upon the system of individual ownership of private property—private ownership. “It matters not to the men directing this struggle that all attempts at.common owner- ship—that all efforts and trials at socializa- ORT VET? 7 \cost of living is under control. ‘for many years. been failures, no matter where, when or by what people they were tried. “All the things that have been accom- plished under our present system count for naught with the alien agitators who fled to this country from those in which they were born, attracted here by our boasted freedom and the splendid opportunities that this country offered them. They and those!native born persons who have imbibed those alien philosophies are proposing to take his prop- “erty from the man who has accumulated it through work, through thrift and often | through privations, turn it over to, or at least divide it with, the professional agitators, the loafers, the lazy, the shiftless and the ne’er do wells.” ‘ When “by and with the advice and consent of} the senate” was written, there was no Senator | Lodge. .

The bureaus have something like it now. _ When we observe the efforts of officials to curb speculation we:can’t help wondering why. they don’t,think of passing a law to do the job.: The New York Tribune informs us that New Yorkers were robbed of $25,000,000 last year.

Dp ~~——e—eeerr-- OPPORTUNITY : , By Napoleon Hill y A little old stoop-shouldered woman walked into one of Pittsburgh’s department stores one rainy day and wandered up and down the aisles. She did not. look like “ready money,” therefore the clerks “didn’t see” her, none except one of them. This young man was not one of the “regular” clerks, He had only been with the store a few days, therefore he hadn’t “wised up” yet. He stepped up to the old lady, helped her with her purchase, escorted her to the door and raised her umbrella for her. ‘As she left she asked for his card! ; : Later an order came to that store for furnishings for one of the finest mansions in the world. With the order came'the request that this same young man be sent to over- see theinstallation of the furnishings. The manager of the store protested that. the young man was inexperienced; that the store had_ more experienced. men; but the cus- - tomer insisted that this young man-was the one she wanted to oversee the work. The customer who placed that order and requested the services of that young man, was Mrs. Andrew, Carnegie; none other than the little old woman whom this' young man had shown unusual courtesy while all the other clerks were “looking the other direction.” Opportunity knocked at that young man’s door and found him in! ; Opportunity never comes in silks and‘ satins, nor:seldom is it heralded with the. blow- : ing of horns or led by a brass band. It usually sneaks ’up to us when are not expecting it. " Offportunity stands at our side from morning until night: - Every time‘a little old lady comes along near us opportunity comes. with her—opportunity to. at: least: be courteous and receive happiness for our efforts. Every time there is work to be done which no one else wants to do, opportunity beckons us to step up and embrace her, because it is here that the first step toward leadership is taken. The poet who wrote in his verse that opportunity knocks but once, ‘did the world a iremendous damage! : i Every time a person does you an injustice you are face to face with opportunity—a glorious opportunity to prove to yourself and to the world how big you are by applying the Golden Rule, forgiving and forgetting. : 4 Every time you have a chance to get the better of your fellowman in a business deal you are face to face with opportunity—opportunity to increase your own self-respect and gain the confidence of your fellowmen by doing the unusual thing by not taking ad- vantage of that-chance. 5 : It makes no difference what may be your calling in life, or how lowly the work you are doing at present, you have 4 glorious opportunity to raise yourself into more important and more profitable work by the simple process of performing. more. service ahd better service than you are actually paid to perform. You know where your neighbor keeps his family skeleton. You could drag it out and humiliate him. What a wonderful opportunity stands at your side every moment and bids you be big enough and great enough to let that skeleton remain undisturbed. Your competitor “knocks” you and tries to keep away business that you are entitled to. What a splendid opportunity you have’to remain silent and permit him to defeat him- self with his own weapon. Rede = The world says mean things about you. What.a wonderful opportunity you have to prove the world is a liar by your good conduct,' your kindness toward ‘your neighbors, your fair dealings in business, your splendid example of forgiving and forgetting. Opportunity is always and everywhere beckoning to you to embrace her. When you are alone she stands by your side and bids you impress-upon your own heart and mind, " through the principle of auto-suggestion, that. you are an honorable, sympathetic, just, kind, progressive citizen, and, that you are enjoying happiness by helping your fellowmen find it. What greater opportunity than this could one want? (Coy is number three of a s . and after-you read the If you do we will cont ight 1919, Hill's Golden Rule Magazi en editorials by Napoleon Hill.
