The women folks ruin the machinery, and the men folks, when they come home, are visitors, guests. And the machinery, frequently stops until they go on about their busi-, ness again. | One knows how it is. Woman knows. Let the bread-winner leave, and the dust begins to fly. Washing, mending, sweeping, cleaning, bed-mak- ing and all the household routine goes on with the precision of a properly oiled machine. But the stage is always set for “him,” if it is.a real home. And when’ he comes the machinery stops for the welcome guest. It is then a case of love and laughter. Fine that it is.. It’s a good thing, maybe, that man isn’t around the house very much. Or truly woman’s work would never end. But at that, as a chuckling old gentleman as- serts, there are many houses without men, but few homes without them. “Every honest front door is glad to see man’s departure in the morn- ing, but is more than happy to see him return at night.” An emperor for Austria? Nonsense. The country is too small. Give it an emperette. Granting that the people are the government, that sedition bill is 100 per cent seditious. Some officeholders believe in free speech and a free press if these do_not threaten to take their jobs. ay E> : gee The chief fault of those who favor reservations in the treaty is that they don’t favor preservation of the treaty. The politician makes a living with his mouth. His racuth might be called his shop. He believes in the open shop.

Representative Gardner charges that some of the consular appointees under Bryan were “the scum of the earth.” “Scum” is a technical term: meaning “members of the opposite party.” Universal military training is all right, but let it be understood that private. citizens positively will not get off the walk for officers in uniform. Lord Ashfield thinks Britain will take the'South, American markets America won during the war. She has already taken the credit Uncle Sam won in the war. : ‘ Given the age of Lodge and Wilson, and access to a life insurance company’s mortality tables, you can figure out how long the treaty contro- versy will last. ey i WITH THE EDITORS { hi te ee ee TOO INDISCRIMINATE Judge Landis has evidently based his! estimate of the Nonpartisan league on what he knows of its leaders. He says “The socialists, the I. W. W.’s andl the Nonpartisan league are all the same— their fundamentals are the same.” If Judge Landis were discussing the recognized leaders of the league in this connection his char- acterization would not be far wrong, though there are socialists to whom it would not apply. But the statement is unfortunate in that its effects is to include in the same classification the entire ‘membership of these three organizations. Under- stood it that sense, it'is hot true. ; hat The men who stand at the head of the Non- partisan league, who shapé its policies and control its actions, are one in spirit’ with the I. W. W.’s, and they have surrounded themselves with a corps of workers who represent the extreme variety of radical socialism. That fact has been demon- strated so many times, and so conclusively that it is folly to question it. But, while most, of the radicalism in the state is found in the Nonpartisan league, not all of its members, and the Herald believes that’ not more than a small minority of them, can be classed as radicals. Nevertheless, recognized and accepted leadership unquestionably influences the attitude of the following. And, rightly or wrongly, the reputation of the leadership inevitably .attaches itself to the following. : Let us not forget the sad fate of Old Dog Tray. —-Grand Forks Herald. . .

It: assets that, government operation, now that war, neces- sity has passed, is “against ‘good policy and the principles of sound Americanism,” and calls for’ legislation expediting the return of the railroads’. to private owenrship with as few restrictions as: may be necessary. Self interest no less than enlightened public spirit dictates this attitude. As shippers of their !own products the farmers have suffered from ex- cessive costs and inefficient service under gov- ernment operation. , The effort of the so-called Farmers’ National Council, that is to say, the Nonpartisan league, to make it appear that the farmers want the gov- ernment to continue operating the railroads is perfectly understandable. It is entirely consist- ent with the league’s socialistic taint. More than that, it is a part of the plot to put through the Plumb plan, by which the railroads are to be con- fiscated and turned over to the rail workers’ or- ganizations to run as they like, the profits.going to them and the losses falling on the government: The first move of the rail worker leaders was to commit organized labor, as far as possible, to the scheme. The next was to put the screws on congress by making it appear that the farmers, jtoo, were with them. The sentiment’ of the country is strongly against any extension of the period of govern- ment operation, and now that it has been shown that the farmers-are mostly of the same mind; there ought to be as little delay as possible-in bringing about a workable agreement of the con- ferees on the Cummins and Esch.bills, and the enactment of the resulting measure. It cannot be expected that the compromise will be a perfect measure, affording practicable, solu- tion of all the problems involved. The main thing is to get the railroads functioning as quickly as possible under strict government regulation. from time to time, as necessity arises, there may be passed further legislation addressed to such roblems as cannot well be reached by agreement between tne two houses \at present.—Minneapolis journal. tor N srimson giant.
