Harding are most refreshing and promising. Every farmer in the state should read and ponder over the address given at the Min- nesota State Fair by the Republican presidential nominee. It ig a splendid antidote to the doctrine which has been preached in North Dakota dur- ing the last four years and voices in unhesitating manner the Republican party’s attitude toward the agricultural interests. The nub of the speech is summed up in this paragraph: “The farmer needs just laws, can profit by co-operation, but should not be the object of gov- ernment paternalism.” ; And again: “Government paternalism, whether applied to agriculture or to any other of our great national industries, would’ stifle ambition, impair effi- ciency, lessen production and make us a nation of dependent incompetents. The farmer requires no special favors.at the hands of the govern- ment. All he needs is a fair chance and just consideration for agriculture as we ought to give to a basic industry and ever seek to promote the common good.” There is no bitterness or rancor in this. It is the doctrine of equal justice to all—both the man in the city and the man on the farm. No law can long survive which is passed to benefit solely one class and inure to the damage of an- other class. He is the worst enemy of the re- public who seeks to build up one class to the| exclusion of others in the commonwealth. North Dakota has been experimenting in pa- ternalistic forms of governmental action. It is true that we have progressed slightly beyond the stage of the prospectus, but many have seen enough of the dreary mess to know that nothing but breakers and disaster are ahead if the poli- cies of class legislation are carried to their logi- cal ends. , The North Dakota farmer is realizing. more and more what state paternalism is costing him in increased taxation. Each new venture of Town- ley’s utopia adds more people to the payroll and commits the state to additional indebtedness. There is also evident now a frantic effort to shift as much as possible the burden of taxation to what the socialist regime terms’ “Big Biz,” but the expert tax masters of the Townley clique are deceiving no one. Every voter in the final analy- sis will pay his share of the increased tax load directly or indirectly in the form of increased living costs. Senator Harding has the courage to brand the agrarian policies of Townley and his folowers for what they really ‘are. His attitude is in direct contrast to the, hedging and begging stand taken by Governor Cox, who rants about the conspiracy of Big Biz and slush funds, uttering the stock claptrap of the trained,demagogue. . The Minnesota address of Senator Harding should impress the West with the sterling quality of the man. : ADVICE TO LOVERS Women’s suffrage seemingly being ratified, it behooves a young man in love to gain a thorough knowledge of the political. issues of the day. Fancy him calling on his girl on a Wednesday evening—isn’t that the evening for calling ?—and saying to her: “Where will you go tonight?” And she replies: “Let’s stay in the parlor this evening and you tell me all about the League af Nations, and especially about that Article X. I don’t know a thing about them and you know the election is coming on. WHY BOYS LEAVE HOME goss, Long, long ago boys left home to give battle with the redskins of the western prairies, or to woo fortune on Wall Street, or to capture Jesse James. None of these ambitions dwell within the mod- ern lad. He has come to know that the Indian doesn’t fight, Wall Street shears lambs, and ban- dits are dangerous to pursue. So the youth of 1920 runs away to be a movie hero. Probation Officer Louis Savour, of San Anto- nio, Tex., says this call of the movies is heard by boyish ears as well as by their sisters. Savour insists boys of this day. would rather be a Charlie Chaplin, or a Doug Fairbanks than a president, or a banker, or Babe Ruth. He catches any num- ber of them on their way to Les Angeles, headed straight for film fame. “I tell ’em,” Savour said, “that there’s about one chance in a million stepping into Chaplin’s shoes, while if they go home and study hard they may be elected president of the United States.” THE FAMINE FEAR Europe today is nearer a normal food produc- tion basis than she has been since 1918. Pro- duction of food throughout the whole northern hemisphere is somewhat better than the five-year average before the war. The southern hemis- phere now holds great surpluses of food from|” last spring’s harvests. Famine forecasts are of the consistency of thinnest vapor. The wolf of hunger growls not at the door of the man who works and does not foolishly waste his earnings. There is plenty of food in the world today.. Northern harvests will carry the world through a winter, until the crops of the south half of the world mature—and even then, there’ll be food to store away for future use. The great food crops Mother Earth produces —wheat, corn, rye, barley, oats and rice—are well up to the average. ‘The American wheat crop on Aug. 1 was more promising than on July 1. It bids fair to exceed the five-year average yield. It isn’t as large as last year’s. That isn’t nec- essary. Some 30,000,000 bushels were left over from the 1919' crops. Canada’s wheat crop is good. These, excepting alone Russia, are the main wheat producers of the northern hemi- sphere, Argentina, India and Australia still have wheat unsold, and now are turning under ground for next spring’s harvesting. Russia, alone of all the wheat countries, is a problem. vism is to blame for that. Russian peasants re- fuse to grow wheat to trade for the worthless rubles Lenin prints so incessantly. But even without Russia there’s enough wheat for. the year’s needs. 2 Corn in the United States is better than last | year, And corn easily is turned into pork chops and beefstakes. International crop reports indicate pleasing; results in rye, birley, oats and rice, all of which in some lands are used as food for humans, and for food animals in other countries. Just as: it is true that tio famine is possible this year so it is true that the present genera- tion, at least, need worry none about future fam- ines. That old nightmare of a population increas- ing too rapidly for food production to keep. pace is—a nightmare. There’s no reality to it. The greater the demand for food the more food will there be grown. The increasing demand has sown rice in swamps never used by humans be- fore. It has sent the reaper over millions of acres, once thought too dry or too cold for wheat. It has grown rye and barley and oats where only wild grass once stood. It has given birth to a new breed of corn in the Dakotas and elsewhere. There’s a lot of unreality in reel life. Those who shun: wood alcohol will avoid the bier. A front porch campaign precludes, at least, the temptation to break the law. Maybe Trotzky will show his comrades how to trotzky back toward Warsaw.

TO GET “INSIDE FAC Chicago Newspaper Man Tells Why Government Service Has Broken Down BY ROY H. FRICKEN, Oi the Chicazo Evening Post. Chicago; Sept. 9.—What is the mat- ter with he. maii service? It is Common knowledge that this once highly-organized efficiently functioning arm of the government. has sadly: deteriorated during the past few years. k K My papet wanted to know. the truth, I ,was given a month’s fur- lough, with instructions to get a job in the Chigago postoffice. I passed the civil gervice ‘examination. But I went to work as a tempor: aub- stitute postal clerk. For they are paid more ‘than a civil service clerk can earn after five years. The men. with whom I talked and mingled did, not know who I was. They did not know that a word ;they said would ever appear in print. ;They | talked honestly and fearlessly, as one man talks to a fellow employe, when their interests. are common. More than one employe told me I was a fool to be working in the postoffice, and they urged me to get out, be- fore I was caught in the web of thé system. Hate Their Jobs’ The inside story of the postal ser- vice is* story of a body of men who are viciously underpaid. The men hate their jobs, and many of them think they are perfectly justified in cheating Uncle Sam by loafing, as much as possible. The old-time civil service employe has high standards of inegrity, but they are rapidly leav- ing. the service. The Chicago postoffice is now the dumping ground of all the strikers in the city. “At the present. time, nearly 300 of the “outlaw switchmen” who: broke from- their parent organ- ization last spring, are working in the postoffice. They Laugh at Their Jobs The dabor turnover is desperately costly. As soon as a man learns a process of distributing mail, he is hired away by another employer. The morale of the .postoffice is broken. ,The men do not care. “I could make more money dig- ging ditches,” said one. “My 18-year- old boy makes more money than I do,” said another. 4 The preponderance of temporary substitutes over former years’. ia startling evidence of the disintegra- tion of the postoffice. In June of 1915 there were only 528 employes who were substitutes. The rest of 6169 employes were under civil ser- vice. Now there are at least 2000 temporary substitutes working. They are interested only in short-time em- ployment. The postal-service !s headed for disaster. Unless Congress does some- thing to increase ‘the wages, to make the service moré attractive, to better working conditions, and to develop 2 healthy morale among the men, busi- ness men the country over will be the losers by millions of dollars.

How such resisusnce can be reduced is indicated by som teresting experiments made with an- thrax germs on various lavoretory animals.

It is not at all difficult to infect these animals with anthrax. however, after they have been fa- tigued by being-compelled to run a treadmill. ‘These experiments, then, show that exposure to cold, overheating and fa- tigue are able to reduce ‘bodily re- sistance to disease. chilled, tl It is well known, however, that ¢x-) plorers in Arctic regions and sailors on long voyages are not especially afflicted with colds , although they are often exposed to extremes of cold and wetness.

Ad- ams, assistant to Prohibition Com- |, missioner John Kramer, that there is nothing to the story that bootleggers cut the bottoms from bottles contain- ing bonded goods and refill them with an inferior brand of whisky. He says that story is one that “will not down,” but there is no more truth in it than the one told by Major A.‘V. Dalrym- ple that they are shooting booze across the Great Lakes in torpedoes. “The story was originated by a bot- tle concern that blows its glassware from the top instead of from the bot- tom,” said Doran. “The , bottles blown from the bottom have a jagged disc at the bottom and the story was started fo discredit the bottles. It is too much of a compliment to say a bootlegger has the skill to cut the bottom from a bottle to refill it. In- stead, he would steam the label off and put the inferior contents in at the neck.” aon oe “The Tennessee legislators who ab- sconded to Alabama to prevent the completion of ratification locked their barn after the horse was stolen,” said Alice Paul. “If they really wanted to defeat ratification, they should have left before we got the amendment through and thereby prevented a quorum.” Miss Paul didn’t have enough sense of humor to give them this advice be- fore ratification completed.
