See THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) Soene ad PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN _ © Mark Sullivan, correspondent for the New York : Post, after a tour of the west finds general % apathy toward the presidential contest apparent everywhere. He reaches the conclusion that none of the candidates before the public eye can fill the . voters with enthusiasm akin to that once pro- duced by Roosevelt, Bryan or Wilson. He says: “Roosevelt is dead, Bryan is shopworn and Wil- son has lost his prestige.” This is a decision thoroughly supported. Out- ~ standing. and compelling personal magnetism is lacking in the pre-convention campaign. General Wood approaches nearest of all to public favor, but his popularity has not reached the cheering point. “3 Political fatigue is epidemic throughout the Northwest. There has been a flood of propaganda .. during the last four years and the voters are <4 weary but anxious for deliverance from the pres- =. ent national democratic administration. KISSING « - An interesting straw vote has just been taken “ among Princeton men. The result proves noth- ing but, that a difference of, opinion exists. But even that, “starts something.” Of. men in the senior class 121 voted that they -= haye kissed girls. Some confined their kiss to but one girl. But 27 denied that ever in’ their whole lives had they kissed a young woman, excluding their own sisters! : * And among. those who voted, 20 of the young S® men declared flat-footedly that they thought kiss- ing wrong. And. the unsettled question is: Is kissing wrong? Doesn’t it now, say, rather, de- pend?. Isn’t that a question that can hardly be _ answered by. yes or no? Isn't it in the same cat- = -egory with: Have you stopped beating your wife? Leaving it so, one is interested in another fact that the questionnaire brought to light— One of the Princeton men admitted correspond- ing with 28 girls and two of ’em declared that * they wrote regularly to 14 girls each. Perhaps there’s one ssl in this for the high cost of ed- ucation. - \ FATHER AND THE BOYS : Up to a certain time every father is an intel- ; lectual hero to his son. He can help him add yp the longest strings of figures for the arithmetic lesson: at school. And subtraction is as easy as pie to him. A wonderful fellow dad! Then one day the boy comes home with a prob- = lem in’ proportion; or with one that has to do with decimals, or algebra. By George, how that boy is growing up! It seems only yesterday that ‘> he was trying to learn the addition table up to 10. “Dad,” he says, “how do you do this problem?” Dad scratches his head. At last he must step i down from the intellectual pedestal on which the . boy had placed him. But he has always been & frank with the boy and he remains so in this a ¢, crisis. . , “It’s something I’ve forgotten,” he confesses at © last. : ' But deep dowy, he’s very proud. F * “That boy of mine,is some kid,” he tells his 4; friends the next’ day. “He’s beginning to show me up.” . = It’s a wise father who can remain an intellec- tual hero’ in the eyes of his son. But it’s a mighty poor one who cannot remain his son’s moral hero ‘=. —the -boy’s exemplar of character; the kind of .. father the boy likes to quote admiringly in‘after ~ years. “There was my father. He used to say.......” fe VON HINDENBURG | The political reconhaissance of the German ~ military party has succeeded. . Kapp has served & his purpose. His retirement is not a defeat. The higher strategists have smoked Ebert out, have discovered what they wanted to know about the is indifference of German public sentiment, arfd «_, have vetoed impetuous tactics to secure control = of the government. ‘ «, . Kapp’s revolution has shown that Ebert and his * cabinet will run from the first suspicion of dan- hae set er. “It has also shown that the Independent So- ” cialists—Ebert’s rivals—are still planning to set * up a soviet forni of government in Germany. The : militarists can well afford to let these two facts ,. sink deep into the minds of the German people. The Ebert ministry hds been forced to abandon '. 4°. its effort to prevent a new presidential election * as provided in the German constitution. Von, => Hindenburg is the most. prominent candidate for the presidency.

Von Hindenburg can now stand for the presidency. without having to answer embarrassing questions about Kapp. He can point’to Ebert’s 5 a. m. flight from his Berlin post before a mere handful of soldiers. He can recall the effort of the Inde-| , pendent Socialists to take advantage of Germany’s distraction to establish a reign of bolshevism. As for himself, he can claim he saved Germany from civil war by refusing to'support Kapp’s illegal’ act of usurpation. That is a winning platform, unless Von Hinden- and insists upon the nomination of some one else. But, at present, the German militarists are count- ing upon him to yun. It is always better for a military autocracy to have itself voted into power than fight its way there. That is what the Ger- man militarists are now trying to do. ALL FOOL’S DAY And comes now Thursday, All Fool’s Day, and the peculiar brand of American humor will be displayed all over this broad land by the revival of two classic All Fool’s Day jokes. On a thousand sidewalks will rest a thousand apparently fat wallets, presumably dropped by some fussy old gentleman in taking out*his hand- kerchief.’ But if one stoops to gather it in, it will move off with a jerk as a thingiof life. Per- haps a crowd of boys behind a fence or ledge will laugh and shout as they reset their trap for an- other victim. ; On a thousand sidewalks, too, on this eventful day, some innocent-looking .paper boxes will re-|. cline, just.in the, way of passing pedestrians. But when they (there is an inborn desire to kick a: box) rest their toes against the paper shell,| ’ backed by the force of a violent kick. Oh, who! would have thought that there was a brick of reg- ulation size concealed by the pasteboard! That is American humor as it is. Critics may make the most of it. Of course, there will be April Feol parties, where button molds will be covered with choco- late, pill boxes filled with sale and iced as small. cakes, marshmallows dipped in quinine dnd can- dies loaded with red pepper, to-say nothing of the thousands of: explosive cigars that will be.gener- ously distributed on that day. ; In France All Fool’s Day is called “Poisson d’Avril,” meaning “fish of April,” signifying that one is easily caught. And it must be said that probably there are as many fish. in the sea as éver were caught, and the first of the month will prove it. TRUTH “What is truth?” asked jesting Pilate, and would not wait for an answer. ; There is a time when the word Truth means nothing whatever to a child. Any thought that!- fills his mind seems as true as any other. A little later, when he asks, “Is it true?” he is satisfied by the voice of Authority. Truth means to him what parent or teacher says or approves of. He believes what he is told, very much as he does what he is told, because he wants to be at one with someone.older, stronger, better than himself. It is a question of what psychologists call Common Consciousness. , But after a while he finds that his elders do | not all agree. Then he is likely to take sides with his preacher or politician and fight it out coat the other side, in noisy disputes that involve much wrangling and hair-splitting and a great desire to win, but very little honest consideration of facts. : At this stage of development Truth means to him the opinion approved of by his hero or his gang, and it is something to fight for—not to in- vestigate. And if he has no hero or gang to be loyal to, then truth may mean to him little more than the story that serves his interest. Only gradually does any one come to think of truth as consistent agreement with fact and to test it by constant reference to a real world of things as they are. There are many persons who do not reach this stage at all, but all their lives long they loudly proclaim as true the story that, happened to fit their fancy or their interests or their party prejudices, wholly regardless of the way in which fact connects with fact throughout the whole great world. ‘They can never see what they are missing. Salaries for teachers merely resolves itself to this: Pay the teacher or stunt the child. “ Now is the time for political sacrifices in North Dakota if we are to avoid political wakes in June. General Wood is being accused by his opponents of using too much money to get votes but then the cost of everything else has advanced. Milwaukee’s population has increased 22.3 per cent since 1910. Her. famous product has dropped to one-half of one per cent. Maine’s 12 delegates are friendly to Genéral Wood—but is there any power in the old tradi- tion—“‘As Maine ‘goes, so goes the nation”? Fokker says the former: kaiser is harmless be- cause he can no longer think. Huh. America has ‘statesmen who can’t think, and they’re not harm- less. ——________+ | A Good Friday Prayer - t men in’ Thine image and whose lov? will lef :ione go, give to us. a new vision -of Thy Son whose | death’ jon: Calvary.:Wwe today recall. men everywhere a new appreciation of the meaning of Cirist’s sacrifice for the'.world. nations-again releake the Barabbas, of selfishnt Christ. see the 1 nner ALL COUNTIES SHOWS BASEBALL WON Final tabulated returns from all of, the counties in the state show that the law prohibiting the\playing of baseball on Sunday for paid admittances had been repealed by an ample majority, this being the only one of the four blue laws repealed.
