Recogniz- ing the vigor, if not the accuracy, of the plain old slang word, “kid,” these soft-hearted and soft- minded persons of both sexes have been at their usual work of cluttering up the United States language. ! They dared not make use of “kid” and so they hitched the utterly senseless, useless and effete syllable on the end and dubbed the progeny of man “kiddiefl” There’s but one synonym for child that’s worse and that’s “totfi” and, still worse, “tiny tot.” Call frecklefaced, all-boy boys “kids” when the occasion is proper, but in the name of the virility of the tongue forget “kiddie.” “With all your faults I love you, still,” has new meaning for the thirsty man who knows how to juggle a comma. HUMAN DIFFERENCES. Some one has said that there is very little dif- ference between men, but what difference there is is very important. He might have added that an important-seeming difference is often a symptom of a deeper resemblance. There are few things more insulting. to a man than to be taken for an enemy he despises. And! yet to a comparative anatomist talks about ”the cat” or “the frog” as, though all cats or frogs} were alike, and he does the same when he com- pares “man” with the apes. Indeed, the very fact that men loathe their enemies is characteristic | of them all. -The more A and B hate each other: the more alike they are in this. An historian sees the people of an.age or coun- try in much the same way. \Are they carrying on ; a war of religions? Then neither side has learned that one’s religion is not to be forced upon his; neighbor. Are Russian Reds and Whites engaged in a death struggle? Then their unhappy country has , been civilized enough to develop different economic groups, but not enough to work out confidence, sympathy and a spirit of fair play between them. The side that one takes in a conflict is often a matter of chance. But the kind of thing they fight about shows what is common to both sides. The pedestrian, is becoming extinct. There is now one automobile in this country to every six- teen individuals. SAUCE THAT’S BITTER. Many manufacturers are now tasting the same sauce’ they spooned out so liberally to retailers during the war—cancellation of orders. For five years the retail merchants of the United States were forced to accept any goods at any prices—or go without. In many lines they were absolutely at the mercy of manufacturers. E cepted at certain prices were delayed, and delayed, and delayed, on one pretext or another—until the merchant law saw the “light” and reordered at higher prices. Insist- ence that orders be filled as accepted meant sim- ply one thing—no more goods from that manu- facturer. The retail merchant had to have goods or quit business. r It is only fair to say that many manufacturers did not seize the opportunity thus to squeeze the merchant, and through him the public. And merchants do well to remember such manufac- turers. gratefully, with orders, as conditions be- come more normal. According to’ Men’s Wear, ‘a trade periodical, one concern in the woolen industry reports can- cellations of $4,000,000 worth of orders. There are 20 larger concerns in the same industry doing a larger volume of business, and supposedly suf- fering proportionately larger cancellations. Pennsylvania manufacturers of hosiery and knit goods are supplied by their association with lists of merchants who cancel orders—presuma- bly a form of blacklist “available for future ref- erence.” p On the other hand, the Textile Word Journal admits that it has been more or less common for some concerns in the woolen trade to accept more orders than they have any intention of fill- ing. “This is admission per se that an order is not an order in the woolen trade and that its acceptance by the buyer depends upon market conditions,” says the Journal. It might have ‘high spots are childish beside the laborious Eng- | thoughtful and complete. ‘has brought Great Britain to the position it occu- ‘pies in world affairs today. We have the energy jand thinking to public affairs we shall be over- -added that the-filling of the order, by the seller, sometimes depended likewise upon market con- ditions. : ‘ < Oi ger The demand for baby carriages has fallen 50 per cent in the last six months, reports'the U.

Dann cc HARD AND SUSTAINED WORK. The fact is that public men in England work harder than we do. Parliament holds longer ses- sions than congress. Daily sessions at West- minster begin early in the afternoon an& rarely adjourn until past midnight, while congress meets at noon and stands adjourned, except on the very rarest occasions, by 5 o’clock. In England a party leader emerges. only after years of inti- mate association with the prime minister who pre-|_ cedes him. The lord chancellor said in the debate on Amritsar, in the house’ of lords, that. he had met at least half a dozen times with a subcommit- tee to consider that question alone. The same result is obvious in a comparison of the press of the two countries. Superior enterprise is undoubtedly ours, but as thoughtful surveys of the whole of a situation our magazine articles are thin beside those of the English reviews, and our cursory news articles, satisfied with hitting the lish reports. Dull, indeed, the latter may be, but A tradition of hard and sustained mental effort and resources to do likewise, but until a least a part of our people is ready to devote close study matched by the “cleverness” of foreign states- men.—New York Evening Post. THE HALF NOT TOLD There is probably no man living who does not enjoy the opportunity if it ever comes to him, to say, “I told you so.” And there are few of us who given the opportunity, are not prone occassionally, to yield to the temptation to,use it. But in connec- tion with the hot pitch that is being thrown at each other by late‘associatés in the-holy cause of Socialism in the northwest, this paper, at least, has not the opportunity t osay “I told you so,” for we never told it. We never told half of it. When the Socialist movement was set on foot a few years ago, and there was a chance to size it ‘up, and at-the same time to size up the type of | men who were being attracted to its active promo- tion, and who were being imported and employed for the purpose of spreading the propagandafi The Herald, in common with ther independent news- papers, pointed out that the connection between | the doctrinesgthat were being preached and the men who were being employed to preach them was natural and inevitable, that just such men might be expected to be engaged in the promulga- tion of just such doctrine. Some conclusions were drawn from this very obvious connection, ‘and among them was the general one that in so far a§ the Socialist forces obtained control, just so far would their course be marked by extravagance and corruption. From time to time instances of these things have been mentioned. But the, ex- posure of the principles and policies of the Socialist cabal that has come from within has so far ex- ceeded anything that has been attempted from without that there is no comparison. to be made. The independent press has hinted at some of the things that might be expected, and had told in very moderate terms of some’ of the things that have actually come to pass. But it has remained for the Socialist workers themselves, when they fell out over the division of spoils, to remove the lid altogether and reveal the stinking mess that is simmering beneath. And these is every reason to believe that the conspirators themselves are just beginning to tell | a little bit of the truth about each other.—Grand Forks Herald. ‘ 5 sl ws SLIGHTLY 'D CLEAR CALL TO AMERICANS Year 1920 Should Be Remembered by’, Alt as Anniversary of Establish. ment of Free Institutons, Distinguished Americans, !ncluding William H. Taft, Charles Hughes and Cardinal. Gibbons, have appealed to their fellow countrymen to remember and honor by local celebrations at any suitable time beginning June 4 the establishment of free Institutions in America. A great year is 1920. Three hundred years ago beginning the 30th tof last July, there was being held in | Jamestown, colony of Virginia, the first American legislative assembly, | called by free men of lawful age and understanding. And during this time, with self-government at its birth hour, the Pilgrims from England after a H twelve years’ sojourn in Holland were making ready to establish in the new | world a home of religious freedom. One year after the Virginians met, this Pilgrim band set sail for Amer- lea, departing from Leyden, Holland, July 30, 1620. Furthermore let it not be forgotten ‘that Nov. 11 is not only the anniversary day of signing of the Mayflower compact, second assump- tion by English colonies in America of the unalienable right of self-govern- ment, but it is also of the signing of ; the armistice closing the great war in which, as the above representative spokesmen point out, the descendants of the Pilgrims of New England and the cavallers of Virginia and their kindred crossed the sea and won lib- erty together. A year with an im- perative challenge to renew policies of Americanization and patriotic conse- cration is 1920, and no community should be without its religious and elvic expression in acknowledgment of the past and in dedication to the fu- ture. Landmark to Be Preserved. The Mullan tree, landmark of the old Muilan trail, the first highway connecting Montana and Idaho with the coast, will be preserved to postert- ty through the creation of a national monument area by the president. On July 4, 1861, Captain John Mullan, leader of the party having in charge the survey and construction of the Mullan trail from Walla Walla, Wash., to Ft. Benton, Mont., closed his work at the connecting point of the roads from the east and west, at the head of the Fourth of July canyon, be- tween Wallace, Idaho,. and Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, There he marked ap-| propriately a huge white pine tree, which since that time has been known as the Mullan tree.
