COURSE The setting sun passes over the western rim i and its last beams fall upon an old man who watches from his hospital window for the ending of his own day. : How like the course of the sun is the span of man’s life! It dawns with a pink flush of hope which quick- ly fades. It-toils through the long middle stretch, bringing warmth and providing for them it pro- tects. Then, scarcely before we realize it, the Zenith is passed and the rapid descent into the clouded west is started. Clouds are as the accomplishments of man on his journey. They reflect the glory of the sun’s rays. af) sag el In glorious tints of gold and mauve and saffron they: hold‘ the magic of a thing departed, they presage the rising of the sun in another land after its setting herg, the coming of another life after the passing of this one. ,y, A Christmas hint now is worth two when the rush is on. ee HOW THEY VOTE It isn’t true that, as many a politigian has said, . “the women will vote as the men vote.” That this is a fact shown by the official re-| ‘ turns of the Illinois bAmaries: :\In ‘the Repub- Fr lican primaries there a powerful political boss (Thompson) ‘was the issue. The fight was for and against the Thompson machine. The result? “ The Thompson machine candidate for senator got a 9000 plurality of ‘the male vote. But the anti-machine candidate. got 38,000 more womeh’s votes than the Thompson man. % The Thompson candidate for governor received 46, 000 more yotes of men than his opponent. ‘But the’ anti-Thompson candidate got 38,000 more women’s votes than the machine man. 4 Illinois. women proved conclusively that they. / will not voge as men vpte when. men insist upon | voting for ppt machines and political bosses. Nobody "better than -the® bosses themselves tion to woman suffrage. Even the most loyal can envy the ex-kaiser his wood pile in these fuelless (or fuelish) days. <> GIDDAP! = a Yes, yes, go ’long with statistics on the faith- ful horse. The fact that he has increased, to- gether with his cousin, the mule, from 24,000,000 in 1910 627,500,000 inz1920, despite :a: total war ‘shipment of 2,500,000 overseas, sounds all right, but just the-same it’s the auto salesman whose wives have the big fur coats. + But wait a minute, ‘mister. Almost anyone would have talked just like that until the Master : Horseshoers’ Association met in colemn conclave = in Chicago early this fall.; But when the village] & it lk about the college courses in their art, é of anatomy as relating to peak loads, and' the like, you are likely to have one more preconceived ‘notion given a violent jar. It costs 17 cents a hundred pounds to trans- port goods by motor truck within a radius of six miles, and eight cents every time the motor stops. By horse it costs six and two-thirds cents a hundred pounds, and when the horse stops all you have to do is holler giddap. That’s the Kind of scientific talk the horse- _Shoers give. Fifty thousand dollars has been spent to establish a school, of horseshoeing at Cornell. They admit that fhe spreading chestnut _ tree wouldn’t recognize the modern smith, but \they are just as insistent that still, “the smith a mighty man is he.” “Coyote lope” is the name of a:‘new dance. The “Cootie hop” would be a cute dance. “ PRETTY HEALTHY, Now! You have‘heard much about the foreign trade your Uncle Samuel was losing this year; that he was in a bad way, wih a feeble export pulse and an abnormally high import fever. Indeed, the pessimistic diagnosis last spring seemed to indi- cate an early funeral, or at least, a long spell of. “sickness. ~ x But it wasn’t as bad as the doctors ‘of com- merce thought. Or, the patient has made sur- prisingly rapid strides getting back upon his feet, for he’s there now, all right, all right! This is based upon statistics, the true! thermometer of know why they were so emphatic in their opposi- |: business prosperity. “The latest figures on for-}) eign trade shows that during the first eight months of 1920 American exports increased over 200 million dollars. :During the same time im- ports increased over a billion 700 million. (The world is thus paying her’debt to America.) But, you notice the exports didn’t drop. They in- creaged! Which is highly satisfactory to the American producer. It is true that exports to Europe fell nearly half a’billion; but this decrease was made up by the half billion increase to North America. And,| better still, American exports’ to Asia, Africa, Oceania, South Amercia, increased in 1920. What exports this country lost to France, England and 72 4 Italy, she more than made up by increasing ex- ports’to Cuba, Canada and Mexico, next door neighbors. : , If Europe cannot buy becayge of war debts, Asia, Africa, Australia, and the Americans can— and will—purchase. SOMEONE WHO CARES A little girl stands on a suburban corner, one hand clasping that of a little tad in rompers, the other holding a lunch basket. A car comes along and stops.’ The conductor runs out and kisses the girl and lifts the Jittle’boy to hug him. He whistles as the car rolls on. “Yours?” asks a passenger. “Yep,” he answers. There is pride in his voice. The joy of life seems to be in him as he pursues his teks. i, Some one cares. A woman who packs his lunch. Little children who stand and wait to be loved. Someone who cares—that is what puts. the joy] , in life for all of us. That is the thing that light- ehs burdens, that difives"us'on’in our work, that niakes life itself worth-while ae W’EN ROBINS NES’ Does one remember that dandy situation in Madame Butterfly bteween The Butterfly and her maid, Suzuki? -It is the one where Suzuki doubts if Lieutenant Pinkerton, U. S. A., who has sailed away, will ever return to his little Japanese wife. “I know w’en he come back,” says the un- doubting little woman. “He tol’ me. When ‘he lef? he says ‘an’ don’ worry ’bout me—I come back we’ ‘robbins nes’ again!’ Ha-ha!: Tha’s w’en he come back—w’en robins nes’ again.” Same way with normal living prices, folks. Same way. They are coming back again. It is nly a matter of time. They’re coming back when the robins nest again, if nc¢ sooner. Madame Butterfly looked out of the window at once, to see if the first robin had appeared. It had. y Re Don Jaime df Bourbon has been restored to citizenship by Spain |but Demi John of Bourbon will never have the same luck in the U.S. A.

While his*Varied experiences are told in story form, practically ev- éry one’ of them has been dup- licated in real life. “Bobs’” speech has been writ- ten in sifiege in order to carry out the eral idea. It is “Hir- am” who is doing the talking, tell- ing the reader of his experiences with the Nonpartisan league: in emancipating North Dakota. —The Author. (Chapter VII.

For over 144 years our government has been the one hope of-the down- trodden and oppressed of other coun- tries—and the people of those coun- tries have found: here what. they, were unable to find elsewhere—a free ani just governmént, Where’ hi futnaatey as well as justi¢e has always been found at the helm, a government where all are equal and free to enjoy the bless- ings of liberty, but this liberty does not give any one the right to violate any of our laws, laws which all men and all nations ‘must respect, honor and obey. :For over 144’ years this government has been a blessing to the world, and in’ every emergency the spatriotism, ‘the loyalty and the gdod: common sense of the American have triumph- ed, its territory, undivided and its flag unstained. : ' Many of those wWho left the; old countries came to North Dakota ‘witn the- early pioneers, and planted here the banners of Christianity and civil- ization that have made our state the one hope of all. Those early settlers built their churches, their schools and their thousands of happy homes on that sane and just plan. “Do unto others, as you would have others do unto you.” And they were all happv and contended. This is just what Townley found when he came her? to preach his doctrine of hate and the banishment of church and school from the state. Now all is discontentbut the good Christian women of North Dakota are to vote in November, so we have the very bést of reagons for believing that our state will be. redeemed from the “Disbeliefs of Townley & Mills.” No banishment of church, school or home will ever be permitted or tolerated in our state as long as the mothers, wives, sisters and daughters of North Dakota have the ballot witn which to “defend church, home and state. The institutions “ot freedom will stand ‘for ever-where “Christian love forever smiles, and where woman walks a counselor and a friend.” The Tribune should have the sup- port and thanks and prayers of all the .right-thinking and home loving of our state, for the fearlesg and manly fight its making for our fire- sides and our homes.
