She pointed to a Bible. And appar- ently she said nothing about coal and iron and the factory system. Senator Harding has another answer: “Qur two-party system has brought progress and prosperity to America, and the party not in power has always proved capable of gaining influence to check wsarecklessness or willfulness of the party ‘having control.” Not the Bible, but the two-party system. And once more the enormous natural resources of the country, are ignored. Some enterprising promoter will soon put Villa in vaudevilla. \ NOT PROUD OF IT There are many fields in which the United States leads the world. In most of them Ameri- cans can find pride. But there is one in which the leadership brings. shame instead of enthu- siasm. The United States leads all other countries equally advanced industrially and socially in the percentage of industrial deaths. So reports one of the largest ‘life insurance companies. “There are,” states its report, compiled after careful investigation,,“inot less than 85,000 deaths from accidental causes each year in this country, or at the rate of 81 per 100,000 of population. J£ we could reduce our accident death rate to that of England and Wales, we should have only 44,000 deaths from accident. We have, therefore, an excess of 41,000 deaths each year because con- ditions of life and work in this country are more hazardous than they are in England.” This is a kind of “leadership” of which Ameri- ca should do her best to get rid. 1 Omo Tokyo is the name of a new Japanese re- ligion, not a face powder. - MUSIC Music is the vioce of the woman you have never met, but whom you love with a transcendental love—as long as the music lasts—far finer than the love of man. ‘ Music is the aspiration for the greater good, for the most beautiful. Our aims seem petty and our achivements small in the presence of music, because she relentlessly strips the cover from our weakness and whispers that the highest coyrse were easy, and so it is—as long as music sings. Just as Music smooths the awkwardness. from our physical selves as in the dance, so, too, does she soften the angles of the spirit and therein lies the secret of the charm to soothe the savage breast. What gentle men, what~tender ladies, when Music swings her baton and murmurs the magic : word! Does it not seem that the courtly days and gallant have come again? And it is nothing but pure enjoyment to be a Knight of the Table Round, to be blameless as Arthur, brave as Laun- celot, pure as Galahad. Mrs. Chaplin says Charlie is a tightwad. Well, he always wore a stingy mustache but his shoes were generous. TAMING THE GYPSY Gypsies of the world are to be called into con- ference at Toledo, Spain, by their avowed king, Juan Sanchez Varges. He proposes initiating a system of civic and religious education, and there- after, if possible, to gather together the entire race and establish a communal life where gypsies can formulate their own laws. But once the sons and daughters of Romany are in council, what will all the other gypsy kings of the world have to say? Will they yield the palm of their authority to Vargas without ques- tion? Or will there be a pretender, or a hundred of them, to this wanderers’ throne? For in every gypsy encampment there is a king—some aged mendicant who makes no pre- tence of tellinfi your fortune for alms. He is always reputed, in whispers, to have thousands of dollars tied up in his cash, and to have killed his man a dozen times. Ask questions, and all the gypsies in the camp will spin as fine a romance as the Rommy Rye for you. The king himself says little, but he has a glittering eye on every- thing. And it is not many minutes after the de- parture of a visitor that the king has an inter- view withawha had gypsy has been visited—and tipped.” ©». .28* Each tribe is a law unto itself—and now it is proposed to gather them into a communal state, and reunite the race. If Vargas can do that, he will do more than the Christians have done since this Egyptian race spread over Europe, and thence over America. There is wild blood in the gypsies, and he is a brave man who will attempt to tame it. CUBA LIBRE Key West shows a decrease in population, by the census, but it has a perfect alibi. It is difficult keeping people at home to be counted in a town that is near Cuba. Jugoslavs have ratified peace with Bulgaria. Every little helps. The mail carrier’s life cannot be called dull since airplane deliveries started. ; D’Annunzio’s forces captured three islands, one of which probably is the “Beautiful Isle of Dreams.” ‘ One hundred and sixty movie actors were hurt in a battle scene. Reelism comes high but they must have it. - EDITORIAL REVIEW Comments reproduced in this column may or ma: not express the opinions of The Tribune.

O;CONNOR JCF) T O'Connor, Democratic-Republican can- didate for governor, was one of a family of eight raised on a farm in Grand Forks county... He re- ceived his common school education in the county school district in Americus township. Later he entered the University of North Dakota where he graduated from the Law and Arts Department in 1908.

THE NONPARTISAN LEAGU TOWNLEY, THE FANATIC , BY A FARMERS WIFE | eee University. After he completed his law course in Yale University he was retained for two years on the Yale faculty as instructor in Rhetoric. He was admitted to the practice of law in North Da- kota twelve years ago. In 1916 he was elected to the legislature. ‘Although this district consists of nine townships, Mr. O’Connor received a ma- jority of all the votes cast in every precinct and was re-elected in 1918 without opposition, al- though the Nonpartisan League had and still has a large membership in these townships in the 6th District. In the legislature he took an independent stand, considered all measures upon their merits and voted in accordance with his convictions. He strongly opposed House Bill 44 which virtually. sought to repeal the Constitution of the state and delivered the strongest speech of the session against that bill. His legislative record is the best proof of his independence of thought and action. He supported and voted for the terminal elevator and flour mill, for lower rates of in- terest, for extension of time in which to redeem from foreclosure sales, for lower attorney fees, for state hail insurance, for soldier’s compensa- tion, for workmen’s compensation, women’s suf- frage and many other progressive measures. Dur- ing the session of 1919 the minority consisting of Independent Republicans and Democrats support- ed him for speaker of the House. ‘ Mr. O’Connor and his brothers are interested in farming operations in Grand Forks county. Two of his brothers live on the farm'and are ac- tively engaged in farming*and stock raising.” He has always been, interested in North Dakota and in the marketing problems that confront’ the farmers and producers of this state. He under- stands the view-point, the difficulties and prob- lems of the farmers better than most men. O’Connor’s Principles For constitutional and representative govern- ment. For all the people and not any one class. For less politics and more efficient service in state government. for a decrease in taxation. For a fair trial of established state industries. For the constructive bank plank in the Fargo platform. For greater co-operation and better market conditions. é For a free press.—Aneta Panorama. INTELLECTUAL PASSION Blessed amongst mortals in the psychic city city is the old bibliophile; who has not seen him and envied him as he scurries away, gloatingly, to his lair, from library, auction or book bart, armed with his shabby, precious treasure trove, and a Monte Cristo “world-is-mine” exultation shining in his wrinkled features and glowing, virginally unworldly eyes! Produce-if you can any financial baron who wears that look of im- perishable youth at 70 yes, 80 years; any devotee of fashion, society, or preferred stock; our “octo- genarian” outclasses all! For never, never have they glimpsed that secret sphere in which “the only real events are those which take place in the mind.” Aptly indeed has someone said that the intellectual passion is the only eternal one, as all others desert us just in proportion as this miserable machine which holds them approaches | its ruin—Laura Simmons in Boston Transcript.’ and their religious tites, in which at- "ter the worshippers had listened to Townley has been called the best) beloved and most hated man’ in our country. at the present time, and I believe it. He is beloved by all who trust him and hated by, all who mis- trust and fear him for ‘the unlimited power he seems to posses. For, friend and foe alike declare he is a remarkable man in some re- spects. I have heard him speak on several occasions, and at different places, and I have wondered what his secret of success really is.. For he holds his audience from beginning to end— something very few speakers can do, especially if their speech lasts for several hours. But'Townley has that gift and in that lies the secret of his phenomenal success. Somehow, is I sat listening to him speak to an audience estimated by the press to be around 8,000 people, 1 thought of the old priests of Indi: their chantings for a while they threw themselves, or their children into the open arms of their gods, and perish- ed willing sacrifices, while their screams of agony were: drowned by the shouts of the people. Like these old time priests Townley | stands before the farmers, and like the worshippers, the farmers rush into the arms of the organization, there to be stripped of every penny they possess while their wives and children suffer. We, -who fear this thing, and what it will do are not fighting. a man, nor a dozen of them, we“are fighting a belief, no less deadly than that of yore. We are fighting the belief that, has! been flourishing for centuries, but has but recently broken bounds--the he- lief that conditions as they exist are all wrong and must be destroyed. to make way for a new scheme of affairs. It is the age old fight between. capi- tal and labor under a different name. If the farmer had not felt he was being discriminated against in the market place he would not have been so ready to listen to the organizer when he came around. If Townleyism is once destroyed we must face the facts—the producer must receive a just share of what he produces. He knows his strength as never before and is going to use it in getting his just share, to which no one’should object. Surely every la- borer is worthy of his hire. An or- ganization of farmers working for the interests of every one in the com- munity and not for any certain class would no doubt prove a benefit for all concerned. The farmer constitutes by far the greater majority of our population le is as a rule steady, sober and in- dustrious. That he has been led so far astray by far fetched theories and agitation is as much the fault of the businessmen as the farmer, to a cer- tain extent. There has. not been enough co-operation between them in the past. How many cities have rest rooms and places where the farmer can ,bring his family while he does his trading? Now, that woman suffrage has becn granted and we are all “free and equal,” let the city women r y these mistakes. Make it a point to have some of your influential friends take this matter up and get the farm- er’s wives interested in your rest room. Then talk over things not in a sort of “I know more -than you” manner, but in a Cvnuine heart to heart talk. Nine times out’ of ten the farmer wife will be glad for these little talk: She has see nothing but the Townley papers in her home and knows ab- | Sell your cream and poultry, to our agent, or ship direct to Northern Produce Co., Bis- marck. Write us for prices on cream and poultry.—Northern Produce Co, solutely nothing about the other side. One of the greatest mistakes the farm- er has made, and one that has helped Townley more than anything else, is the habit of league members refus- ing any and all papers except those heralded as the Townley Press.+ Personally, I want to know both sides, think right, and learn all I can Neither side is above reproach and much good can be gleaned by reading both sides. 1 do not believe ~ man is neces- sarily a grafter and crook because he differs with me in politics, neither do I consider one an angel because he thinks as I do. ANNETTE KELLERMAN MAKES HUNDRED AND FIFTY FOOT DIVE FROM MAST OF YACHT - A 150 foot dive from the mast of a pitching schooner. A thrilling battle between a young society girl and a gorilla-like man twenty feet below the surface of the sea. An uneven battle between a young society man and a mutinous crew on a tramp schooner These are just a few of the tense moments in “What Women Love,” Annette Kellerman’s modern comedy drama which comes to the Eltinge theatre on Monday night as Sol Les- ser’s $500,000.00 production with the diving Venue in the sti ing role.

Nate Watt, who was Lois Weber’s directorial associate before he was commandeered by Lesser, directed the modern Venus in “What Women Love,” a First National Attraction.

Incidentally federal of- ficials have remarked that it is hard- er to fill a government job in lowa than in any other state, and sometimes residents from. other states have to take federal jobs in Iowa. Jowans are too busy raising corn to bother with “pensions.’ On the other hand, the people of Vir- ginia hold the most government jobs, and thousands of applications are pending from that state. Back in the days of Ann Lee the Shakers of Lebanon, N. Y., advertised that they would hold a “shaker dance” at the corner of Eleventh street and Pennsylvania avenue here. That was about a half century ago. The notice of this affair is still a matter of rec- ord among the old showbills in a case at the congressiona} jlibrary. In the gay city of Washington, the center of culture, within a block of the White House, many distinguished per- sons take their meals in a stable—a place that formerly housed race- horses. 3 It ig the National Womans Party tea-room.

This tea-room is probably one of the most popular in the national capital. The walls have been painted and the horsefeed room is used as a kitchen. The stall partitions were removed. Mrs. Ruth Quick, former picket, is in charge and has made a big su it financially and as a social center, so much so that recently it has been necessary to put eating tables in one end of the militants ball room to ac- commodate the overflow.
