Election is over. The state went on record against Townleyism in its worst phases. There can be no yielding on what is economically right. For the next two years North Dakota will be ruled by an administration which is not endorsed emphatically by the voters. There is an even division of mind upon the great issues. Both sides must realize the situation. Foolish repri- sals would be fatal to the best interests of the state. Surely there is some common ‘ground upon Which the people of the state can meet and figure out a program of future action that will be constructive and not destructive. First of all the solution of the ecoyomic is- sues in this state is between residents of the state. There should be an end of carpet baggers. North Dakota cannot work out its salvation as long as the utopians from every center of un- rest come here to fatten and agitate at our ex- pense. ' At three successive elections a majority of voters have decided for a certain industrial pro- gram. Just how far that program is to be car- ried out is determined by the voters themselves | in the referendum measures. Governor Frazier | and Townley have been informed in no uncertain terms that they must cease playing with the public funds of North Dakota. First and foremost the Bank of North'Dakota and allied industries should be examined. Gov- } ernor Frazier should be as anxious as the elec- tors who voted, to give the state this information. To attempt to evade this mandate of the people | or violate the solemn referendum will be to court a condition that no one wishes to see. Lemke and his cabinet made a fatal blunder when they excluded Kositzky from the bank. The voters have declared for an examination by Langer, ' Hall and Kositzky and it should be given! at once. If Governor Frazier did the mag-| namimous 'thing in face of election returns, | he would order the officials designated by this | initiated measure to proceed with the examination without delay. Second}, The people have declared that it is to be optional whether public funds are deposited in ; the bank of North Dakota.or not. It is idle for | the league leaders’ to say that this is a blow at, their industrial program. Such is not the truth. The taxpayers have voted home rule in the hand- | ling of public money ;and as soon as Frazier, | Lemke and the others take the hint’ the better. Third: The people have declared that the Bank of’ North Dakota shall make loans to actual farmers who are residents of this state. Nothing reactionary in this. It was hard to realize why even the league speakers advised the people. jof the state to vote NO on such a fair proposition. Fourth: Newspapers of the state who have had the courage of their convictions have relief from the absolute boycott placed upon legal pub- lication patronage. Newspapers who were se- lected by public referendum last Tuesday will publish exclusively-legals of a public nature only. But .every newspaper can print legals paid for Wprivate litigants“; This eliminates a part of the viciousness of the law and doubtless those who have such business to place will remember those papers who for the last two years have been robbed of this patronage. Fifth: Miss Minnie Nielson is to be restored to the prerogatives of her office of which she was deprived through the machinations of political hencemen. There should be no quibble or legal obstacle to the speedy consummation of these reforms voted upon by the people. Governor Frazier’s duty is claer and the voters of the state expect him to put their expressed will into terms of action. On these issues there can be no honest dif- ference of opinion between the more than 111,000 Independent voters who favored O’Connor and the slightly more than 115,000 voters who de- clared for Gov. Frazier. As for other issues time only can point the best solution. The legislature is about evenly di- | vided and no faction can dominate . If North Da- kota is not to suffer more through political con- tention, factions must get together and decide what is best for the welfare of the state. Those who represent the Townley machine have no whip handle. They have been rebuked by the voters and must seek some kind of a working arrange- ment with the opposition so that government after December 31, 1920, will continue to function in North Dakota. light of all that other scientists have done, and’ North Dakota measures. The voters of the state desire to know how their money ‘has been spent Their attitude to the future enlargement of the industrial program is going to be decided largely upon what a strict examinaton of the entire in- dustrial scheme discloses. The time has ceased for personal abuse. But the time had arrived also for a readjustment in this state which will end this class contention. Nothing can be gained through flying at one an- other’s throats for the next two years. Our feeling in the United States. ‘Surely it is possi- ble through some channel to produce an era of, better feeling in North Dakota. There can be no compromise on the vital is- | |sues. The Independents are as unalterably op- | posed to socialism, class prejudice and class legis- | lation as ever. They are as bitterly opposed to! Townley’s spirit of boycott and reprisal, but thou- | sands of them are hoping today that Governor; Frazier may be big enough to be governor of all the people and order the political exploiters to keep their hands off while the elected representa- tives of the people work out a solution of North Dakota problems in Bismarck this winter with- out the pressure of gag rule or secret: caucus. Tie up the bull for four more years. AMERICA IN SIBERIA There is vast significance in the news that an American syndicate has secured from the Soviet government of Russia a lease of an immense tract of land in Kamchatka, Siberia. The land faces Alaska. That is to say, across the Bering Strait, America is only 54 miles distant. Japan hitherto has.‘claimed special rights in the Orient because of. her. proximity to conces- sions on the mainlayi@j}America will now be en- titled to the same consideration. Profound effects upon the future history of the Far East may follow from this cause. The succeeding government of Russia will re- pudiate many contracts of the Bolsheviki. But, it is not certain that this Siberian lease will be invalidated, The contractual area is a cold wilder- to develop it. But American enterprise and pio- neering genius, backed by American capital are capable of redeeming the country for civilization and democracy as Alaska has been redeemed. In exploring Siberia for oil and minerals, Amer- territory which the Japanese pretend is sacred to with a competitor in Siberia whose purpose is not to disturb the soverign rights of the inhabitants. Rather, the contpetitor’s purpose is tp seek wealth by making the inhabitants themselves prosperous. American exploitation of Siberia would mark a new epoch in the life of the Orient. Why worry about your habits. They'll all be amended for you eventually. “APPLIED PSYCHOLOGY” It is the business of scientists to discover prin- ciples and of practical technicians to apply them. he principles do not come by inspiration. They are discovered by persistent hard work in the under the guidance and stimulation of consent expert criticism. This is as true of psychology as of any other science. It takes years of training under experts to make a competent investigator, and the busi- ness of applying psychology to practical problems | is very exacting. One must:know the principles| worked out by recognized authorities and then: work and work and work to find out how best to apply them to some definite practical situation. And at every step of the process on must test his results by definite. measurements and computa- tions. It is not a field for prophets and orators. But’ unfortunately the word “psychology?” to- day is used to conjure with. “Applied psychol-| ogists” who have no standing whatever in the scientific world go through the country announc- ing all sorts of wonderful laws and principles that | scientists know nothing whatever about, and promising that in a few high-priced lectures or, booklets they will reveal the secret of health, hap- piness and prosperity. If such a/secret exists it) is a gift of God, which should not be sold for gold. ' But the sciences know national election should produce an era of good! america have done our no royal road to any of | ; the thoughts of all who live out in the open turn inevitably to the unprotect- ed among pur fellow men. We won- ;der what families there are who have ‘not ‘the necessary means to protect themselves against the elements and against possible hunger. Charity be- gins at home and our duty in that di- | rection is plain, but, now that the | terrific strain of providing for those abroad through the war is removed, ; We wish to settle back and ease our conscience with knowing that we in share and | away over it in the matter of caring for the stranger. ‘To be sure the stranger within our gates is ever an object of our solicitude, but what of the babies in the war wrecked lands over seas! In looking over the Liter- ary Digest of October 30 we find an appeal that mus every one of us in our mental decision about what is our duty since the war. Mr. Herbert Hoover startles us into a keen re- turn of: flagging interest by his letter to, the’ Literary Digest as follows: October 19, 1920. To the Publishers, “The Literary Dige: New_York City. Gentlemen: In our several discussions of last ; summer, I urged you to make an inde- | pendent investigation of the whole problem of Amcrican charitable re- lief in Europe, and of the work then carried on by my colleagues and my- self in support, direct and indirect, ot more then 3,500,000° waif, under- nourished and orphaned children. Now that your treasurer, has re- turned from Europe, I venture again ‘to bring the matter to your attention. As tho representative of the United ' States Government, and with a liberal | appropriation from Congress, I admin- ‘istered measures of economic relief to | Europe from soon after the Armistice ‘until the summer of 1919, when our governmental interver¥on ceased. As one of the measures inaugurated | i during that first winter, we cared for }some 6,000,000 waif, undernourished, {sick, and orphaned children. Condi- ‘tions were improved early in the year | of 1920, but there still remained more ‘than 3,500,000 children so pitiably in |meed that America could not, desert | them. In every chuntry in the areas !of destitution we have developed Lo- ‘cal Committees, aggregating over one j hundred thousand volunteers, to carry jon the work of distribution, while lo- ‘eal charity, municipalities; and their | governments provide not only all local |expenditure, but also such local sup- ‘ness. Russia has never shown a desire or ability plies as are available. My colleagues ; and myself had hoped to return to our {own personal avocations, but could ;not conscientiously do so., With re- | mainders of various funds, and with jthe help of contributions from racial | organizations in this country, in addi- jtion to co-operation with the Jewish ‘Joint Distribution Committee, and ‘cans will be brought face to fate with Japan upon jater with the Friends’ Service Com- ‘mittee (Quakers), who went into | Germany, we organized on a voluntary i their own exploitation. Japan must then reckon pasis the administration and distribu- tion of child cure in the most dis- tressed areas. In this, the Y. W. C. A. provided’ an efficient and devotec group of young women. | During this period, happily, the Red Cross and other organizations carried medical and general attention to some addi- tional 100,000. children, That there have been few deaths from starva- tion and cold among the children has been due solely to American charity and American backinz. We now face the third winter, and although it has been possible with re- cuperation of last harvest to retire from some countries, Jeaving their children in the care of tapable com- mittees which we organized and trained, yet other areas are in even worse condition, and some 3,500,000 children again call to the heart and resources of America for those daily supplies of milk, fats, clothing, that are not available in their own coun- tries and that are vital to their sur- vival and to the rebuilding of their physical well-peing. Our resources will be exhausted in January. We have asked other American or- ganizations to lift the further respon- sibiltiy of this work from our should- ers, but so far none of them has felt able to assume the gigantic task.’ We must not step aside and permit the Foley’s Honey and Tar IMPOUND IT IS JUST WHAT CHILDREN ought to have for feverish colds, coughs, “‘snuffles,”’ and that tight, wheezing Ireathing.

Yours faithfully, HERBERT HOOVER. Among the many great publications making answer to Mr. Hoover’s appeal the Literary Digest has the following to say: When Jesus Christ came upon the earth, nearly two thousand years ago, to save-all mankind, his mere coming seemed to interfere with the material ‘interests of a few. people of that per- iod notably King Herod, who prompt- ly decided to dispose of this “inter- loper,” and sent forth his soldiers with orders to slay all the children of two years old and under. Thus was consummated the most atrocious crime against innocent childhood ever committed up to that time. It has ‘come down to us through all the ages in gong and story, and master painters fave pictured it on marvelous can- vases. Today passing in review, as we,look out through the windows of our ¢om- fortable homes in this great and hap- py land, are three and a half million of helpless children, the innocent vic- tims of the greatest war that has ever afflicted humanity. It matters not, s we gaze in the direction of these children, that gur eyes must stretch across thyge,thdusand miles of ocean, we still* fssce, them and we still ‘an hear then itive wish to do so; and we cannot help*hearing the tragic appeal in their voices and seeing their tiny arms stretched out to us, and their searching eyes looking into our souls, as they say, “Help us, or we perish.” And if we fail to listen to this great call of three and a half mill- | io) of God’s helpless children; if we } close our eyes and ears to this great demand of duty, we will be just as guilty of the “slaughter of the inno- cents” as was Herold, nearly two qou- sand years ago. . In these lands, swept by death and filled with tragedies too deep for tears, a suny of human suffering is, being written greater perhaps than for all ages gone by. The mind grows numb and the heart sick from a constant recital of tales of such tragedy as it is difficult to believe the twentieth century could hold. * * * In Poland alone a million five hun- dred thousand such children must be cared for. In Latvia and Esthonia the people are living mostly on a diet made from potato-flour, oat-flour, and sawdust. In Czecho-Slovakia, in Hun- gary, in Austria, and in other count tries of central and southeastern Europe, fwo millions more ‘are in dire need offfood; and who stops to ask regarding creed, or race, or national- ity when a little child is starving? Children are! just children the world over, and the great American heart is pig enough to care for them all. But the appeal now is not for all. The three and a half millions of chil- dren in immediate danger of starva- tion, if this organization fails, who must have food at once, are only a fraction of the total number. The hungry children of those destitute countries have been examined by competent physicians, and only, those whose wasted little bodies are reduced to the minimum weight, and whose endurance of hun- ger has rgached the end which merges into actual starvation, are admitted to the American kitchen and given one meal a day. It is hard to turn away thousands of hungry boys and girls —to hear them ask, pleadingly, “Do I wejgh too much?”’ “Am I not thin enough?” “Caf’t’I ¢ome any more?” But this réstricting of food to the ex- treme cases is conipulsory, because there isn't enough for‘ all. And thes@ \neediest ones can not reach thé kitchens through the cold winds and the snow barefooted and in the pitiful rags which form only 2 partial covering for their bodies. They must have clothes. Each outfit consists of one pair of warm woolen ‘stockings, one pair .of boots, and a little overcoat. This.one meal a day, and these boots, stockings, and little coats can be supplied only if we give them. If we do-not ,the slaughter. of the innocents by cold and starvation will be appalling. . Among the more than two million men and women who will read this page there is not one—there can not be a single one—whose heart will not respond gladly and eagerly to the challenge of this great need. We are asked, you with us, to co-operate with Mr. Hoover in raising twenty-three million dollars to feed and clothe these children and save them from death this winter. It can be done. It shall be done! Digest Aid | \ earnestness, the quick sympathy, the! great-hearted generosity they, always: show when any real human néed calls | now with a great confidence. * * * The gmall individual unit of ten! dollars will provide the coat and | boots and stockings and one meal a j day for one child this winter. We / urge our readers—we urge every one | whose eyes are on these words—to, | give quickly as many of these units as | possible, to buy for themselves that precious and priceless thing, the life | of a little child—as many of them as they can, and every one will be a shin- , ning star in an eternal crown. * * * | So deeply do we ourselves feel the veeency of this great need knowing! all the facts, that we should feel a neavy burden of guilt if we did not! fo beyond anything we have felt pos- sible heretofore in order to save these ; innocent children from suffering and !death, Therefore, The Literary Digest will start this fund with the sum of $25,000 to feed and clothe twenty-five | hundred little boys and girls this win- ter.
