And rightly so, too, for that is a beautiful period. But wy “Indian summer?” What did Lo have to do wi i ali eral it? 4 3 One remembers the Pilgrim Fathers, and the bleak New England coast upon which they land- ed? The knew little about the conditions of clim- “ate. With October came frost, and*snow flurries, and hissing storms. “We will now have winter,” they said. But the Indian out of his perfect knowledge of nature, and because of his weather wisdom shrugged, smiled, looked to the sky above and “felt” the west wind. Then he answered: “We'll have summer again before winter.” Lo was right. Late in Octoler it grew warm again. “The air was filled with slanting sunshine —the world was wrapped in sleepy warmth.” “Lo. the Indian's summer,” said the Pilgrim Fathers. INITIATIONS To “intimate” is to begin, and formal “invita- tions” come at the beginning of one’s life in col- lege or boarding school, fraternity or secret order. To outside observers they may. seem merely silly, cruel and dangerous (as they often are) ; and one may wonder why any sensible person should submit to unnecessary pain and terror or to the degradation of absolute obedience to the com- mands! of howling tormentors. But year after year the game goes on, and to those who parti- cipate it seems like a part of the very nature of things. Amongst primitive peoples the initiation of young men into the tribe is regarded as most important. Ordeals and ceremonies may be con- tinued thrqugh weeks and months, with every de- tail carefuRy planned by the old men of the tribe. And wherat length the youth comes through he has proved his power to endure and to obey, he has learned the sacred secrets of the tribe, and he has a keen sense of his responsibilities to it. A small tribe is everything to its members, from family to school and church and state, and to lose one’s standing jn it is like being disowned, expelled, excommunicated and outlawed all at once, while on the other hand; initiation is like a combination of graduation, confirmation and com- ing. of age, with adoption: and naturalization thrown in, in the case of outsiders. ? When children cast off’ their mothers’ apron strings they begin to explore a larger world be- yond the home. . periment and play and fight with other children, learning all sorts of useful things, but saved from the burden of earning a living or helping to work out the destinies of ‘a larger group. fe it the group" consciousness is there. €hild- rent Supremely'for the opinions of other child- ren—of the gang; and as they grow up and pass into the fellowship of higher and higher groups they are glad to undergo the successive ordeals that prove a capacity and a willingness to assume new types of loyalty. Man was made for life in a tribe or herd. In civilized society artificial ordeals are hardly neces- sary. One can prove courage and loyalty in other ways. But they fit human nature. And so they persist. ITALY’S DEPENDENCE “Make a revolution and die of starvation!” | Jokes by ROGERS That was the warning of the moderate Socialists tothe radicals in the Italian Socialist movement at the last congress of the Socialist Party in Tay. | What the moderates meant was that Italy cannot feed her own population but is entirely dependent upon the world outside for food imports. They. meant that revolution in Italy would mean block- ade, as in the case of Russia, and that Italy would starve to death if the blockade should be effective. ' Striking confirmation of this prediction is to be found in the official estimates of Italian crops for’ 1920, just made public by the Italian Ministry of Agriculture. Italy has always had t6 import wheat. But, next year, she must import more than usual, for] the 1920 crop, estimated at 4,006,500 tons, is more! than 600,000 tons short of the 1919 crop and is’ 760,000 tons short of the ten-year average pro- duction for 1909-1919. The estimated production There they adventure and ex-| of rye, 121,400 tons for 1920, is 8000 tons under the ten-year average. The barley crop, estimated at 182,000 tons for 1920, is likewise away under the ten-year average; and the 392,700-ton oat crop estimated for 1920, compares very unfavor- ably with the ten-year average of 505,400. It is a dark lookout in any case. Will Italian labor listen to the extremists who say that the allies will never dare blockade Italy if the rev- olution is made, or that supplies can be got from Russia in any case? The decision is not yet made. It will be a portentious, one for all Italy and the world as well when it is made. The candidates are finding this is heckleberry time. Whether they convict those ball players or not, they got rid of them and that’s the main thing. The Pilgrim celebraters are having’ more trouble than the original bunch did 300 years ago. It was Villereal, not the real Villa, who lost his job in the Mexican army because of treason.

That is substanially the question put up to them by J. A. O. Preus, the Republican candidate | for Governor. i The Nonpartisan league asks that it be.em- powered to create elaborate State machinery for the marketing of grain, to man it with its own po- litical appointees, to add the bill of expense to the tax load and to experiment with its own socialistic plans of State ownership and operation. Mr. Preus begins by frankly admitting that the present processes of grain marketing give just basis for complaint by farmers. But he counsels them to achieve their own remedy by/adopting the co-operative idea that has worked so well with other agricultural products. ‘And he adds that such a co-operative scheme should be fostered by State agencies—very much, no doubt, as the Farm Bureau movement, is already fostered. i Indeed, this movement may readily be utilized to furnish the foundation for co-operative grain marketing. It has‘its bureau in every county, or soon will have. It/does not seek to dominate the farmer, but to help him. It does not ask for his: money, or for the custody of/his voice. It does not aim to build up a great political machine. It is merely an aid to self-help. The farmers of Minnesota will not help them- selves by putting the Socialist leaders of the, league in power and giving them the opportunity to exploit the taxes and the credit of the State in visionary experiments of State socialism. The farmers of Minnesota will help themselves by running their own business in a business-like way, seeking only such counsel and aid from State agencies as will make such a course successful. There have been attempts‘at co-operative grain marketing before this in Minnesota. Their chief fruitage has been the building of numerous farm- ers’ elevators. Where they ‘have failed has: been in the proper correlation of these agencies and the establishment of effective connections in the prim- ary markets. - It is in this latter respect that the help of the State can best be enlisted. As Mr. Preus points out, the grain growers of Western Canada have made a success. of co-oper- ative marketing and without the construction of | a political machine. Minnesota farmers under wise leadership can do as well. The devices of state socialism will not serve. They are both expensive and inefficient. The farmers can build their own machine and run it. They would be foolish to‘engage a lot of Socialist agitators and demagogues to boss the job.—Minn- eapolis Journal. .

Non- partisan league when its organ- izera visited his community. While his varied experiences are told. in story form, practically ev- ery one of them “as been dup- licated in real life. “Bobs’” speech has been writ- ten in dialect in order to carry out the general idea. It is “Hir- am” who is doing the talking, tell- ing the reader of his experiences with the Nonpartisan league in emgnelpatine North Dakota. —The Author. (Chapter IV. | ..Trouble Dark Begins to Brew .|. Somehow, right from the first the business men. of Henroost Center did not take kindly to the Nonpartisan league. Harry Hawkins, our banker called. me into his uffice one day an’ told. me that, the feller at the head 0’ the organizashun wuz a crook an’ grafter himself, said he'd begn mix- er up in a big farmin’ scheme ont in the ‘western part: of the state, an’ gone broke, leavin‘ his creditors to hold the empt ysack. He said me bein’ a man o’ respon-| sible position’ an’ a deacon of the ‘chureh, it behoovea me to look into things before I got mixed up with a bunch o’ socialists said leader havin’ run onthe socialist ticket an’ got beat in the electshun before this. Now. I knew Harry, an’ also his father be- fore him, an’ wuz sure that he wuz speakin’ ‘fer! my own good so I sez° “Wal, Harry, I'll do just what you say I'll look into things a little closer an’ find out all I can about this league.” \ The followin’-Wednesday we wuz to have a league meetin’ in the school house where we voted at an’ the league sent two speakers out, one a bit o’ a feller with whiskers all over his face, an’ the other the candydate fer state treasurer. The same bein’ the feller who won out over Jason Trumbull in Fargo. So me an’ Mary Ann went over to hear what they had to tell us, an’ believe me we got an’ earfull. The little feller wuz sure Some talker an’ he jumped aroun’ like a pup at a circus, this way an’ that, wavin’ his hands an’ clappin’ em ‘to- gether, reminded me o’ us ‘when we have protracted meetin’s an’ get full o’ religion, you know what I. mean, but it. wuzn’t religion that bothered this feller, no siree he wuz ‘plumb full 0’ the idea that he wuz goin’ to save the poor farmer from the “evils that engompassed him, an’ make him see, the light o’ truth an’ rea- son.” I'm usin’ his words, not mine. When he’d got done talkin’ the other feller asked whether any o’ us _want- ed to ask any questions, an’ I riz an’ said I had a few that bothered me, so he said I should tell what they wuz, an’ I told him what Harry Hawkins had said and asked if it wuz true or not. Before he could answer the little guy (I found out his name wuz Mills) jumped up an’ said: “Let me tell you something, my friends. The business men are your enemies, every one 0’ them. All they care for is to squeezo every dollar out o’ you that they can get. . They are all parasites, sucking out your blood, as a child sucks the juice from an orange. Don't listen -\dvise ‘about joinin’ an organizashun? 4 ed convindin’jJan’!tyét I doubted the rare being ientrenched, and the tanks to them. They hate your leaders an’ your organizashun an’ they also hate) you. They look on you as an igno-| camus an’ a fool. Do they ask your; Why ‘then, ‘should they advise you. Keep ‘away from them! Don’t give ‘hem your money, send to Sears an’ Bucksaw, get your goods where they are not fightin’ you. Always remem- ber the business men are your ene- mies. -Théy hate every one 0’ you. After he’d said this» he set down an’ ‘somehow: his arguments sound- truth as to the “businéss men bein’ our enemies. We had a lers lived together peace able like an’ many a favor I had from them in the years gone by an’ I still looked on ’em as my friends, an’ loved every one o’ them. Then Al Zed Hillyer, who used to own a quarter next to mine, an’ lost it because he wuz shiftless an’ no account, not ‘tending to business, but loafin’- aroun’, ; got up an’. said: “Brother Mills, you afte right I know from ’specience what the business men are. This same Harry Hawkins, Brother Wise mentshuned ‘has stolen my farm, sold all my possessions an’ driven me off my place. I know the} business men are our enemies. I can’: get a cents’ worth o’ credit .at any o’ the stores. Here’s my. hand an’} may you prosper in-yagir noble work.” Well, you know alj the story o’ the wonderdog everybody takes his part, so before the meetin’ broke up the business men all had a black eye an’ Harry Hawkins had two-o’ them. Looked ’most like as if we ¢ouldn’t be true to our organizashun, an’ at) the same time be friends with the} business men. So trouble begun to) set on Henroost Center an’ the farm- ers refused.to trade with their busi- ness men. Before we woke up we had caused seven o’ them to:go broke an’ leave the town—the noblest, truest men who ever lived, an’ aJl fer a rainbow’s pot o’ gold which We never reached an’ never could hope to, see- in’ that there never wuz such a thing. < (To Be Continued). —o ’ PEOPLE'S FORUM | oe Editor The Tribune: The coming campaign, promises to be one of the bitterest, if not/actually | the bitterest ever fought in our state. | Even now, nearly a month before elec- tion day the rumbling of the big guns can be heard initheistance, while the | artillerymen and sharp shooters are all lining up: seeking the most ad- vantageous point from which to be- gin the combat: The! machine guns of warfare (containing mud) are mak- ing their way to the front. Almost any day we may expect the conflict to begin in earnest. ‘ What will be the result? None can say, but judging by appearance th? victory, will belong to the side which can make the most noise: What\@ pity that campaign issues cannot be’ fought out on their merits, that of! indulging in personaiities and vicious| propaganda, the opposing interests use clear cut methods., But alas, it is/ too much to expect. Even the presi- dential cagflidates \are going back si years to Mind some trivial circum-| stance, in order to embarrass their opponent. | Looking on all these things I am not surprised that the men wanted to keep their women out of politics. That they felt the pill wag not the proper environment for their delicate- ly nurtured wives. I had hoped that the advent of the woman voter would have a refining influence on politics, but the worhen are just as busy sling- ing mud as are the men nowadays. Who was the guy who said: “Pol- itics' are rotten?’ Ihelieve he was right. —A Reader.. Editor The Tribune: ‘ Reading Mr, O’Connar’s speech in The Tribune it put me in‘mind of the morning of the referendum election a year ago last June.” I met Mr, Rich- ard Wall, organizer for,,as he. called it, the Nonpartisan ieague, but Mr. Wall always was a socialist bzfore that-time. So 1 believe at this time when he spoke tp me was as much of a socialist as when he saw that he couldn’t persuade me he saii “you'd better sign up now and not wait until you have to.” I didn’t know jJuse what he meant by such an. expression but I know how I felt about it. I read the industrial program, as they call it. It is said in one place: “It has been said that it simply leaves North Dakota free to go straight to ruin if her people so desire,” and the farmers at the present time seem, to work all they can that way, I have never seen such dissatisfied people,as at the present time, but want to ruin our good state doinng all they can to see it go to the dogs. I never heard before of such dissatisfaction and «is- content as has been since the social- ists got in power to run 5ur good state 1 paid, lacking $1.73, three times as much state ‘tax'as F paid’ the year before,’ I’was told by a s)cialist one time that one man should not have ary more than: the other. ‘Let one man do the work ani the others, look on.
