Kansas’ experienge will be a useful guide. It is becoming evident that a mistake was made in combining with the Kansas Court of In- dustrial Relations the former Public Utility Com- mission. Not only is the work of either body enough for one group of men, but the two have nothing in common. | The men who have the job of preventing strikes must first and foremost be experts in human nature. Those who decide whether tele- phone or railway companies may raise rates or change their schedules of service must be, pri- marily, experts in finance and operation. The one function is social; the other is tech- nical...» States that. create a Court of Industrial Re- lations should keep their Public Utility Commis- sions: There should be the best cooperation be- tween the two bodies, but no overlapping. Don’t try to stop a fist fight and regulate a machine with the same instrument. Mothers-in-law don’t seem so objeetionable since high rents have forced many young couples to live with the old folks. TRAVELING BOOKS “Read books,” advised a very wise citizen. ’ “What books?” he was asked. “Any good books,” he replied; “makes little difference what books, so they are well written, which implies accuracy of information and hon- esty of purpose.” This is easy enough for city dwellers. The rural resident, though, cannot so readily accept the advice. The nearest library is miles off, and he has reread every book in his neighborhood. The answer? Traveling libraries! { Maine, as Maine so often does, takes the lead- ing position of all states in supplying her country folk with good books to read. Maine has 500 free libraries. They’re on the go ‘all the time. The libraries are sent out by parcel post and express, in boxes made for that purpose; not only to village schools, but the granges, department stores, Sun- day schools, manufacturing establishments, and community groups. ‘ Maine is the first state to include cities in the traveling books’ circuit, thus placing good reading matter before the eyes of factory worker, the shopgirl, and others, who, because the city library is blocks distant, forego the pleasure of reading good books, The world may have been made safe for dem- ocracy but the auto drives takes the same old chance at the railroad crossing. BRAINS AND LEARNING “Intelligence,” “brains” or “ability” must be distinguished from: information, . knowledge “or learning. Indeed, someone has defined a pedant as one who has got rid of his brains to make room for his learning. Ordinarily, school examinations test informa- tion along particular lines. - But the “intelligence tests” which psychologists invent are intended to measure brains—not learning so much as the capacity to learn. And if they include questions about authors, inventors or movie actors, this is simply because it has been found that bright peo- ple pick up more general information than dull ones. General information, howeve?, is only one of several indications of intelligence which such lists measure and in the tests it is not valued for itself but only as a sign of intelligence. Since intelligence or brains is different from information it is misleading to talk of the “intel- ligent” classes when one means the educated classes, or, perhaps, even only the prosperous classes, for thought it usually takes brains to get an education or to make a fortune, bad luck may keep.a brainy person out of either. It is the business of a college to give an edu- cation to those who are fitted to receive it, regard- less of class. But certain kinds of education de- mand preliminary knowledge. One cannot study engineering without math- ematics, and so a certain amount of mathematics Ss ee is a reasonable requirement for those who would enter an engineering college; and in the same’ way a certain amount of Greek, Latin and mathe- matics was necessary for those who entered a college in which these were the main subjects’ taught. But there are many subjects taught in the colleges today which do not require such pre- liminaries. One can learn much about biology, chemistry, sociology, and psychology without special train- ing along any given line if he only has the brains. And so various colleges are beginning to ad- mit students to their work without a high school training at all, if they can pass the mental tests that show that they really have the brains, even though they have not done the conventional work that high schools demand. This is sensible and democratic. wg Sih ory Is it proper to call the suffrage vote the silent vote?

' For the single issue in the Main ceampaign has been Wilsonism; Wilson autocracy, Demo- cratic inefficiency in the management of govern- ment affairs by Wilson and his self-chosen sub- p steed THE BUSTED BLIMP. baat 4 XK ——- eal Trail’s end of the hot-air raid on Washington ordinates, the Wilson Covenant and League of Nations. It is idle for newspapes like our neigh- bor the world to extenuate by alleging a defective presentation of the Wilson side. A canvass in which two members of Mr. Wilson’s Cabinet, one of them his son-in-law, were participants, and in which the Democratic candidate for Vice-Presi- dent and the former chairman of, the Democratic THE NONPARTISAN LEAGUE BY A FARMER'S WIFE CHAPTER VII. Sa he |/FARMER, LABOR AND THE LEAGUE | National Committee devoted their oratorical pow- ers almost exclusively to the defense of the Cov- enant, can scarcely be said to be non-representa- tive in character or inadequate in personnel. From beginning to end the President’s autocratic meth- ods, the shameless extravagance and futility of his administrative methods, and, more than all, his proposal to merge American sovereignity in an alien supergovernment were on trial before the Maine voters—particularly the woman voters— for approval or condemnation. There was no other question up.—New York Sun. ) At the time the farmers joined the Nonpartisan: league. they were told that it was to be essentially a farm- ers’ organization, while at the pres- ent time the direct opposite is true. It. is, nat a farmers’ organization for the reason that it has continually dis- criminated against the farmer in fa- vor of labor.: Look at the’laws placed on our statute by the present admin- istration and you will find much more of labor legislation than of farmer legislation. This in spite of the fact that labor has always been antagonis- tic toward, the farmer, While the, interests. of the farmer and the business men have been to- gether, that of farmers and labor have been antagonistic for the simple fact that the farmer wishes to sell at as high a price as possible and labor COMMON JUSTICE Charles E.

None whatever: Yet the Nonpartisan league has continually preached that the business man is the farmer’s natural enemy, an@ the working man his friend when it is im- possible from ‘the very condition of affairs for this to be true. Friend of Labor. I have no wish to see labor deprived of any beneficial legislation they may have received through the farmers’ or- ganization, but at the same time I do not believe it is fair to expect the farmers to continue to support an or- ganization that caters to the demands of labor to the exclusion of the i terests of the men for whom it w: originally intended. In every controversy between farm- ers and theif hired help the league papers have taken the side against the farmer. Just: recently one of our pa- pers in commenting on the wages paid hired help said: “The farmers,.if they expect to get help for the harvest and threshing must expect to pay the pre vailing wages that would be received in the city. Unless they do they will find themselves short of help in a crit ical time.” Considers it Fair Play. This was written because some farmers got together and set the price they would pay at 50 cents per hour for a ten hour day with board and lodging. This was a fair wage and should compare favorably with city wages where neither board nor lodging 1s furnished at slightly higher pay. Bur evidently the league papers like some others think the farmer gets his food for nothing.and should expect to ‘pay city wages with board and lodgi: thrown in for\good measure. Therefore, I ask: Why should the farmer be-expected to support an or- ganization that has shown itself $9 unfriendly toward him, while at. the GROCER UP AGAINST IT “IT have been up against it for past 3 years suffering from pain in my stomach and side until I was con- sidering giving up my grocery busi- ness. Doctors and medicine did not help me. I heard of -Mayr’s Won- derful Remedy through a friend in Buffalo. The first dose gave me more benefit than all the medicine I ‘had taken before and am_ now feeling as well as ever in my life.” It is a-sim- ple, harmless preparation that re- justice, republican nominee in 1916 for the presi- dency, and one of the foremost legal authorities in the United States, is an advocate of a plan for the establishment of free legal aid bureaus througout the country for the benefit of all citi- zens lacking means which to employ counsel. Judge Hughes holds that the need of those unable to pay legal fees is not only legal advice, but also skilled assistance in presenting the merits of a case. And where the opportunity for such advice and assistance is lacking, he said, it is idle to talk of “equality before the law.” The need for such service has long been rec- ognized in this country. Many American cities have in operation, municipal legal aid bureaus for the benefit of the poor. But for the most part they serve as sources of free legal advice only, not attempting to see the applicant’s grievance through court. And, for the most part, too, they are maintained by charity, which is by no means conductive to the best results, in that it places the applicant for advice in the attitude of asking for aims. The plan of service of such institutions ought to be broadened to include professional represen- tation in court; and the maintenance burden placed upon the municipal, state or federal gov- ernment, instead of upon charity.—Atlanta Con- stitution. DESCHANEL’S RETIREMENT France will have a new president probably next week, but the change will not affect the gov- ernment in the least. The president has a palace for a home, a good salary for seven years, appears in public parades and demonstrations occasional- ly and receives foreign ambassadors, but he has practically nothing to say about making 6r ad- ministering the laws. ¢ The real chief executive of France is the pre- mier, or the president of the council of ministers, as he is known officially. That was the office held by George Clemenceau in the latter part of the war and during the makingtof the treaty of Versailles.

Why has he taken his stand against Gompers, the veteran labor leader, and in favor of the radical, Fitzpatrick? Does he think that Fitzpatrick would be more able to deliver the labor vote than Gompers? Why has the league always taken the part of strikers, even when thousands were freezing last winter. In short, why has the organization sponsored by the farmers always tak- en its stand against the great mass of common people, and in favor of a spe- cial class?

INTERVIEW Mrs. Reynolds Tells Her Experience. The following brief:account of an interview with a Bismarck woman twelve years ago, and its sequel, will be read with keen interest by every citizen. Mrs. N. F. Reynolds, 417 Mandan Ave., Bismarck, says: Doan’s Kidney ay \. Pills have cured me of years of suffer- ing from dull aching pains through my back and kidneys, and of other symptoms of kidney trouble. My ankles swelled and I found it difficult to get my shoes on at times. After trying several different kidney rem- edies without getting the least help I finally got Doan’s Kidney Pills at | Lenhart’s Drug store and a few doses | convinced me that they were a good remedy so I continued using them until all trace of my trouble had entirely disappeared.” (Statement given September 23, 1907.) On October 11, 1919, Mrs. Reynolds a} said: “I think just as highly of Doan’s B Kidney Pills as when I recommended them in 1907. I have used them oa several occasions since when I have taken cold and noticed a slight re- turn of my former trouble and I al- ways obtain prompt relief.” 60c, at all dealers.
