THE STATE'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) Editor COMES TOO LATE Sheer force of public indignation was cause enough to compel the resignation of N. C. Mac- donald long ago, but Governor Frazier stood by his school-mate and political bedfellow with the constancy of a Damon. Now on the eve of a state primary, in face of the insults that have been heaped upon Miss Minnie Nielson, the Jonah of the administration, quietly resigns apparently to benefit the broken and tattered fences of A. C. Townley. I is too late to be effective. The damage has been done. The electorate of this state will not forget in a hurry the Macdonald incident nor will his resignation ease the public indignation which Governor Frazier caused when he appointed him. Who will be the next to walk the plank! Speakirg of poetic license, d’Annunzio has drafted ‘iizens of Fiume to help him hold the city aga cst their will. THE CITY MANAGER — Ten cities of 2,000 to 25,000 population have adopted the city manager plan in the last three months. Half a hundred cities of more than 10,000 pop- ulation row have the city manager plan written into their charters. What the plan accomplishes for the small city is illustrated by the experience of Kalamazoo, Mich. Kalamazoo is on a sound financial basis, with ‘a budget system and up-to-date accounting. The administration used one form of bank check in- stead of 14, as formerly; one form of. voucher in- stead of 27; has four bank accounts instead of 21;:and has the lowest tax rate of. any Michigan municipality. 5 The cities which recently have adopted the plan are Muskegon, Mich.; Lynchburg and Newport News, Va.; West Palm Beach, Sanford and Talla- hassee, Fla.; Pittsburg, Cal.; Painesville, Ohio, and Sallisaw and Walters, Okla’: | The government recently ;held civil service ex- aminations to, fill the: position of town manager for some lof itg war-time; inthistrial villages which ime jus vat *Musele Shoals, ‘ 4] & HELE sain | Why. don’t the ‘oil baroris issue some blood-and- thunder propaganda -concerning that ‘border: row between Oklahoma and Texas? CRYING WITH RAGE. Somebody asks, why does a young boy cry with rage when he is given an order? This question requires three answers: First—He gets angry because he is interrupted in what he is doing, and his dignity and independ- ence are not respected. Such things count with children as they do with everybody else. Second—His anger takes the form of rage, for the same reason that all his other emotions are excessive. He has not had the experience neces- sary to show him the difference between what is important and what is unimportant; and if he; had he could not use it, for he cannot keep more than a very few interests in mind at once and cann.t have the larger purposes that make his The thing he is do- ing in his play may be as absorbing to him for the man’s life work; his whole heart is in it, ar~ his whole heart rebels against an inter- ruptio: ‘Third-—He cries in his rage because this is the instinctive appeal for sympathy and help which all dependent young creatures make when they are in distress. He needs a protector and a help- er against the enemy. And if his natural pro- tector is the enemy, the poor youngster gets into the painful emotional habit of mixing loving ap- peals with hatred and resistance to the same per- son at tho same time; a habit which may last for a lifetime and make him always vaguely distrust- ful of his friends and too submissive to his ene- ~ mies. Moral: {i you do not want your boy to be a quarrelsoime quitter, do not break: wp lis plans, but encourage him to put things across. Do not ex- pect him to be veasonable. And if vou want his y league: it, is, now, filling. its columns with radical BISMARCK DAILY 'RIBUNE help ask for it, but do not give him‘orders. Will- ing co-operation is far better for him than reluc- tant obedience; and you would rather have it, for you want your boy to be your chum, not your slave. Up to date, Sims has rejected no British medals. ooo i WITH THE EDITORS | | ——— ANOTHER LEAGUE EDITOR SPEAKS Editors who leave the Nonpartisan league em- ploy and then begin to tell “the truth, about the league” might sometimes be accused of bitterness toward former employers, but this charge cannot be laid against Harry N. Brandall, who was until recently editor of the Fessenden, N. D., Press, and who resigned after nine months of his year’s con- tract had expired. He is now writing a series of articles about the league for his new paper, the Fairfield, Ia., Tri- bune. ‘ Mr. Brandall was an eastern man, coming from Annapolis, Md. He came to the state in entire ignorance of the league and its work, and says that after he found what conditions were he re- mained chiefly for the experience. His viewpoint is that of a rather friendly critic of the league, but he doesn’t spare its leaders of their methods. For example, he says: “That the Nonpartisan league is riding to a tall is the confident belief of all of its opponents and of many of its adherents. Without question a crisis has been reached and if it cannot weather the storm which is gathering and again elect a state ticket in North Dakota, it will have passed into history as the most remarkable reform or- ganization in the political history of the country.” He then proceeds to enumerate some of the causes for this crisis, and his criticism as coming from one who was, to some extent, “inside” the organization, is interesting. He writes: “Townley unquestionably is not as strong in the state now as in the past. He has become drunk- ‘en with power and assumed a form of dictator- ship over the! state, an autocracy more vicious and dangerous than ever Europe boasted. Clothed in a little brief authority, Townley has enacted tribute and driven his vassals as no barbarian potentate ever conceived of doing. « : “There are 53 league newspapers in the state of North Dakota. Three‘ of these are owned solely by farmer organizations and are-under no obliga- tions to the league or its leaders. The remaining 50 are owned jointly by farmer corporations and the Jeague-and are controlled wholly -by league headquarters. i “And there lies the danger. t “The North Dakota farmer is not a Socialist, nor an anarchist, nor a Boishevik, although he jokingly refers to himself: as‘ the latter. He will also permit you to call him one but, as in Owen Wister’s story, ‘The Virginian,.'you. must smile when you use that word. Sasi, wee é “But if the league farmer is not one of these. he is blindly following leaders who are. The leading league organ: of the ‘state is the Fargo’, Courier- News, daily newspaper. Far from confining it- self: to ‘the original purpose and plans’ of ? t rot of a most vicious type, matter. which is‘as,near sedition as may be without breaking'the bounds. It hay taken up the cause of union labor, of the Russian Bolshevik and soviet, of every petty rev- olution that starts anywhere in the world. It al- most daily ‘offers a defense of Emma Goldman, Victor Berger, the I. W. W. and‘others of. that ilk. It somewhat subtly but none the I¢ss.plainly opposes the American Legion and openly defend- ed the I. W. W. who caused the deaths of the sol-. diers in the American Legion parade at Centralia, Wash. ; “And, the vicious matter which appears in the Courier-News is the same, rewritten, which is sent out by league headquarters to all of the league newspapers of the state. The editors of these newspapers are mere figure-heads and must use the stuff which is sent them or lose their jobs. “The adroit machinations of the Socialistic crowd are surely and swiftly entangling these farmers in a mesh from which they will not es- cape. The political pendulum of North, Dakota has swung to the furthermost point of its arc and lost all the momentum of its movement; it is now motionless and the law of gravitation demands that it return to its axis. “There is still hope for the Nonpartisan league. It can retain the power it already has and perhaps ‘continue to grow in strength if its members will cast out the false gods, confine themselves'strictly to the original purpose ef the league—the ad- vancement of the agricultural interests of the state—discard the present leaders and lend no ‘ear to promises of national power or. to Socialistic theories and illusions. They must purge their or- ‘ganization of its taint of disloyalty and un-Ameri- ,canism and concentrate upon individual better- ,ment, permitting the clamorous forces of unrest to fight their own battles on their own ground. “The Nonpartisan league can do this and live; not doing so it is doomed to extinction. And so will perish whet ss perhaps the greatest rerorm movement this country has ever seen.”.—Fargo |Forum THE BOYS IN THE OTHER CAR easier say!
