THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) COMB THE BEACHES! Lagrana is’a seaside village in Spain. A storm washed several casks of liquor from the deck of a passing ship. When the storm subsided the casks were stranded on the beach at Lagrana. It is recorded that all business in the village was suspended while the treasure lasted. Now, the chief interest in that event is that something of the sort possibly might happen on the coast of the United States. It seems to be the one contingency not provided for in the federal law which says liquor may not be imported. If such accidents happened often the flow of population from the country .to the cities might be diverted, and an exodus started to the coast. * HOME-SEEKERS It is reported that in some cities moving van drivers are being stopped on the streets by home hunters who demand to know where the load of furniture they are hauling came from. Upon receiving the desired information, they hurry to the vacated house to make first claim on it. . And more than that: Homeless folks are watching the divorce court news in the papers, and homes that are about to be broken up by di- vorce are besieged in advance by persons eager to move in as soon as the unhappy family moves out. It is a mystery to many that there is shortage of homes today when before the war there was some sort of a place for everybody to live in. To some extent the shortage can be ascribed to the immigration of country folks into the cities. To a much greater extent it reflects a rising standard of living in the new America. The new America demands bathtubs and elec- tric lights. It regards fresh air and sunlight as the natural right of every child in every home. It calls for sanitary plumbing and other condi- tions that make for good health. It demands a strip of backyard with every home and a bit of lawn in front. Always honoring its women, it asks for homes so arranged as to free the house- wife frony the old drudgery. This is what the great hunt for homes means. It is a crusade for health, for decent living, for wholesome comfort, for cleanliness for better family life. John Barleycorn is not dead, as reported. He is winning in Cuba. Look at it any way you wish, Lansing the cabi- net was a major operation. ——s 2 Faint praise indeed is the assertion that some- body is worth his weight in gold. Ina one day campaign, Duluth Elks sold $28,000 worth of War Savings Stamps. You can love the under-dog without approving his methods of getting from under. A student of world politics is one who can guess how many secret treaties were outlawed. It seems generally conceded that John Barley- corn’s death was due to acute alcoholism. , And now, if some of our numerous crises come to a head, what shall we do about Lansing then? Just think what a presidential election would cost if votes were as high in other sections as in Michigan. South America asks for a definition of the Mon-! roe Doctrine. Boy, ask Sir Oliver Lodge to page, Mr. Monroe. One reason why Germany objects to giving up the officers demanded is because she knows the allies won’t insist. Europe’s politicians would have Uncle Sam pledge advance approval of any deal they may decide to put across. Favorable action on the part of five more leg- islators will make effective the federal constitu- BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE : United States the right to vote, Sir Oliver Lodge asks $1,500 for a lecture. That much dough for an evening’s spiel should raise one’s spirits. If the former crown prince wishes to do some- thing for his country he might contribute his for- tune to pay off the indemnity. The argument of England, France and Italy is that they would give the Jugo-Slavs justice if that man d’Annunzio would let them. New York bakers say they couldn’t sell a loaf at 5 cents even if flour was furnished free. Not even if striped suits were furnished free? ete ts ote | WITH THE EDITORS i ee ee ee SWAT THE NEUTRAL LAGGER In the present state of affairs, delay is as bad as destruction. We need.not fear the Destruc- tionist as much: as_ the Obstructionist. The former builds on a fallacy which will destroy it- self. But the latter is a tempter that holds every- thing back. A person need not be important in the usual sense to obstruct progress. Progress just now means production. And everybody is important in production, from the sweeper to the boss. Even the office boy can hold back or help forward. The best ally of the would-be destroyer is the pale and neutral lagger—Henry Ford, in The Dearborn Independent. THE FLY ON\THE WHEEL There are extreme radicals. And there are extreme reactionaries. There always have been. There always will be. And, as always, they constitute minorities. But they are often, as now, very vocal, very lively, very loud, very much in the limelight. One groups wildly pulls ahead. The other fran- tically digs in its heels and pulls back, headed for yesterday. And after all, in the long view, the most remark- able thing about both these elements is how little calm underneath despite all the surface confus- ions, the placid old world keeps going safely and sanely ahead all the time—Duluth Herald. WISDOM FROM DOCTORS THREE If the Democratic party is ill, it does not, lack for learned political dictors to prescribe sure rem- edies for its ailments. At least three of them have recently written out. prescriptions, each of which, if carefully compounded and faithfally taken, is guaranteed to restore the patient to po- litical health and renewed popular confidence. Dr. William Jennings Bryan is the old family doctor who has treated the patient for years. If he has never worked a complete cure, he has at least tried a varied lot of nostrums, none of which have been permanently fatal. Dr. Bryan’s spe- cific contains prohibition enforcement, opposition to military training, condemnation of the profi+ teer, opposition to protective tariff, encourage- ment to labor’s plans, and—to sweeten the whole with ineffable harmony—endorsement of the Wil- son administration. His medicine sounds com- paratively harmless. , Dr. Thomas R. Marshall, a vice presidential practioner, proposes a return to “a few ancient and time-honored Democratic doctrines.” Among these is “equal and exact justice to all and special privileges to none.” No coddling of classes for Dr. Marshall, nor withdrawal of opportunity for the individual. And another thing: State’s rights! | One of the old herbs and simples! The doctor would have the patient recognize that “this is still a federation of states,” and would demand that the states not only “discharge the duties of local self- government,” but resist usurpations of the gen- eral government.” ! But Dr. Marshall also has a modern idea or two. He would have Congress discharge its duty as the lawmaking branch, and quit “skulking” behind “an alleged interference of the executive branch.” And he would pledge the candidate to discharge all the countless and useless officials left over from the war, and to administer public affairs with scrupulous economy. He would punish the profiteer, lurk where he may. bg And then there is the eminent specialist, Dr. William G. McAdoo. What troubles him in the democratic prognosis is the threatened “sub- mergence of the national interest” in “a contest of individual candidates.” So he prescribes~ a convention at San Francisco that is untrammeled by pledges to any candidates and unfettered by the traditional rule of democratic conventions, which requires each state to vote as a unit. Dr. McAdoo does not say whether he would also abro- gate the rule requiring a two-thirds vote to-nomi- nate, which in an important way is a corollary of the unit rule. To put “the forces of standpatism and reac- tion” to rout, Dr. McAdoo prescribes a candidate representing “the great constructive, progressive and spiritual forces of the day.” These prescriptions seem rather complicated. But that is the way of medical men. What each of the three undoubtedly means, could be simply stated in two words, to-wit: “Nominate me.”— Minneapolis Journal. tional amendment giving to all women in the | $a shen —aetim nen er sata a aaa teen eet | “ALL A-A-A-B-O-A-R-D” influence they have, how little of their frantic; tuggings control the pace of history, and how, | tt nt tnt atte ttt tt tte Stat tt tent ttt ttt ttt tet tet ta \\ AN \ | i il Hi nn | i BURLEIGH COUNTY WOMAN MAY HAVE, iirc filet measine of fe ert BROTHER IN THE WHITE HOUSE; MRS, and freedom. ud EVA D.
