Soran THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) <i> CHANGING CODES ; The passing of the doublé code, if indeed its end is in sight, which imposed purity upon women more strictly than upon men, is but one phase of a larger change. For this code was balanced by another, which imposed courage ‘upon men more strictly than upon women. \ Taken together they reflect a simpler and a ruder age (more or less free from social diseases) in which men were in the saddle and fought each other face to face for the possession of wives and children. From the standpoint of racial survival this differentiated code worked fairly well, fora family might get along if tte husband beat off in- truders and the wife or wives‘ were faithful to him. If the man .was a coward he might get no wife in the first place, or a better man might take her from him; while on the other hand, there was no strong hand to defend the nameless children of a loose woman. Thus it happened men could be loose but not cowardly, while women could be timid, but, not loose. 2 But social disease has changed the picture in one way, and the formation of large states and the establishment of civil order and a factory sys- tem have changed it in another. For now patient industry and industrial enterprise ‘have partly taken the place of physical strength and military courage, and in much'of the man’s work of today women can often play an equal part with men. And: very much the same is true of even war- fare itself, with all its complex modern machin- ery, where one may not ‘come within many miles of his-most destructive foe, where the munition worker or the farmerette may countas much:as the soldier, and: where nursés and other women aides may be placed well within the danger zone. In a great modern war women are essentially com- batants, and not’ mere helpless prizes of victory. So the old order, passes away, and women: get. a hearing when they demand that the law imposed upon them should be imposed as’ rigorously upon men. : All this is good. But it mugt not be forgotten 5.00 6.00 Y i ‘ that it is never a mere question of fairness be- tween men and women. It is a matter of life and death; and any code’ which forgets the children is vicious and self-destructive. : Fighting to make the world safe for democracy apparently hasn’t made it sdfe for Armenians. - MARBLES ; Even before the arrival’ of the “first robin,” and weeks previous to games of “Old Cat,” with bat and ball, the kids of the neighborhood are bus- ily engaged in marble playing. Boys’ games have _ their season and marbles is easily first in the spring pastimes. iy ; It is interesting to watch these little knights of the circle, bending ‘to their knees in oozy mud, hands smeared with it, and each as his turn comes healthily engaged in trying to knock his oppo- nents’ forfeit from the ring. Glassies, commies, aggies, with an. especially big “shooter,” perhaps, are all mixed up indis- criminately in an old tobacco pouch just like the children themselves who may be the sons of the banker, who lives in the corner house; the baker, who lives on a side street, or the boy whose fath- er is so reduced that he lives somewhere down an alley at.the edge of town. The game is the thing, and'caste and class are unknown to them! ‘ _This is to remind you there is a shortage of bird houses.’ Tell your little boy.

They are pre- sented here in order chat our readers may have both sides of importa issues which are being discussed in , the press of the day. PASSING THE BUCK In a recent editorial the Courier-News comes back at the Hettinger County Herald ‘with the countercharge that class hatred and wedge driv- ing between town and country’ have been started by whom—“The opposition,” it says. The ‘“‘oppo- sition” is opposed to Townleyism and socialism. Therefore, it’s agdinst the farmers. The spe- ciousness of the News’ argument—or rather as- farmers,” which has been used from the start. Opposition to Townley as an individual—as a man under suspended sentence—is blatantly heralded as opposition against “us farmers.” At the outset of the Nonpartisan organization campaign in this state, organizers studiously avoided the towns and shunned the cditors -like smallpox. If the league ‘plan was for the good of all citizens we can see no good reason why that plan was not frankly explained to, merchant, law- yer or editor. Our first information was gleaned BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE | a from the original receipt\slip somewhat dubiously exhibited to us by one of the first league mem- bers in this neighborhood. Tit ate Bok The ‘News makes no distinction whatever—ap- parently—between imported socialists .and the lifelong farmers who have trustingly followed their teachings. The Chronicle has always made the distinction. Rout We have listened to several ‘speeches by Non- partisan speakers—including Bowen, Townley, and Thomason, and we, needed no interpreter of words or phrases to detect the artful attempts to create prejudice against the local merchant or bank which had done much to extend the farmer credit and tide him over lean years. It is rather significant that farmers who have awakened from | the ‘spell of Big League Leaders have been frank in their admission of the mutual interdependence of the town and country.—LaMoure Chronicle. .. stead Aas FEDERAL SUFFRAGE IN SIGHT West Virginia makes the thirty-fourth state to ratify the Anthony amendment, granting full fed- eral suffrage to women all-over the Union. Only two more states are needed to ratify the amend- ment, and Delaware and Washington are about to act’ on the matter at special sessions of their legislatures called by the governors of those} states, _ ‘{ i It is practically certain that the necessary 36, states will have ‘ratified the amendment in time to give women thé privilege of voting in the pres- idential election. By this amendment ratified by state legislatures suffrage is imposed, not grant- ed. States that do not want it in their own terri- tory because of local conditions are compelled to accept it. The suffragist answer to this' charge is that itis only, the men of those states who do| not want it, and that-women are people. it is only an assumption to say that the women of those states want it. /They are! just as likely to oppose it in their‘own boundaries as are the men, and for the same reasons. It would quite probably be found that in such states only a mi- nority of women would favor suffrage. ere the women really want the vote the men have always stood ready to grant them the privilege. That ‘is why suffrage has made such headway in the states; where there has been a doubt the men have given the women ‘the benefit- of it—New York Times. | THE EXPECTED REACTION IN. GERMANY Tf ever there was an occasion for very watchful waiting, Germany offers it at this moment. The element now suddenly come to control with ‘mysterious and suspicious’ ease protests that it does not intend to re-establish the monarchy, but its members are all stout monarchists, and they include the strongest supporters of the kaiser and Germany’s war—indeed, it is the very party that MADE the war. |, ‘ That if this new crowd keeps its power it will make the enforcement of the peace treaty as dif- ficult as it can is made clear enough by its an- treaty—“so far as they are consistent with Ger- man honor and are practical.” Moreover, when the overturned government signed the treaty, the party now in Control protested against it, thus laying the ground for a repudiation if it dared. Did Germany put up, one government to sign the treaty, reserving another to come in, at the nouncement that, it will observe the terms of the) ‘Continued: From Puge ne, WATKINS ADMITS DEFEAT OF BLUE LAWS in the form of a Jaw prohibiting cer- tain ports on Sunday since ,the days of statehood.: (It was, a dead letter more or less. until‘a few years ago, whell it became an issue which result- ed in 1917 in the, passnge of an act legalizing Sunday: baseball, provided no‘ admission fee was charged.

Watkins last night. “It is true that this apparent letting gown of the barg may encourage the element some reactionary movement. But pro- hibition is ndw’a national and not a state issue, and any action which is taken woulg have to go through con- gress. 1 see nothing in the returns from this election which can give the foes of prohibition any cause fer hope. } GLIMPSE GIVEN OF LIGHTER SIDE OF PEACE TREATY London, March 1—Ear!

If it does not try in’ good-faith to come back, ‘then: the case ‘of Germany’s good faith in signing the peace treaty will look black indeed. In one sense it is Germany’s business what kind of government it chooses. Yet thd world cannot tolerate a. government that would repudiate any part of the peace terms’ and reinstate the junker element that made the war. - ” This situation forms another compelling reason why America should ratify the peace treaty at once, and thus let reaction in Germany know that America still :is on guard in behalf of the civiliza- tion which Germany, ‘under very. much the same leadership if has: had‘since last week, threatened to crush under, its jheel—Duluti Herald.
