TWITCHELL The selection of Rep. L. 1, Twitchell to pre- side over the house was most timely and in ree- ognition of long service upon the floor, Out of the contest has come complete harmony among independents who control the destinies of the lower house. It. is not going to be an easy job to keep the seales of justice halanced where opinions differ so widely upon the best policies to pursue, buf Mr. Twitchell can be depended upon to be fair to all sides in his decisions and to speed up leg- islation to that end that the seventeenth session can accomplish the necessary remedial steps to solve the economic problems of North Dakota. D’Annunzio seems of the school that believes it is wiser to be a live anything than a dead hero. WHAT IS ENOUGH? A newspaper asks its readers: “How much is enough?” Well, Tolstoy tells of a man who, having a small farm ,was not happy until he aequired a larger one, elsewhere. He was prospering there when he heard that the Bashkirs, a tribe on the Russian steppes, were selling land cheaply. Thither he went and was told that for a certain sum he could have as much land as he could walk around from sunrise to sunset. If he failed to return to the starting point before sunset, he would lose both his money and the land. Early next: morning he began walking rapidly, taking along a hee to mark the boundaries, He walked in a wide Circuit, for he desired to take.in jas much land as possible. And his greed led him go far astray that he was still a long way from the starting point when he observed the sun had begun to set. He started to run in order to reach the goal before dark, lest he lose both money and the land. The last of the sun was disappearing under the horizon when he arrived, breathless, at.the starting point, and fell—dead. And, so, Tolstoy concludes with ironic humor, the man’s effort netted him just seven feet of land }bor. —a grave. The figure of the frantic man rushing to: reach his goal before sunset typifies most of us in the folly of our discontent. He didn’t know when he had enough. And how many of us do? Few men can answer satisfactorily, to them- selves, the question: “How much is enough?” many men pursue “Enough” to the end of their days and never catch up with it because they don’t know when they find it. The probity of Congress is probably all right, but there’s no question about its probe-ity. Perhaps it’s unfair to measure the seriousness of Caruso’s illness by the fact that he has five doc- tors. Rev. Harry L. Bowlby who is urging a real blue-law Sunday has a rollicking name but an as- cetic disposition.

A CHEERING OUTLOOK FOR 1921 “Thank God 1920 is gone,” a friend of mine} said to me yesterday morning. We were speak- ing of the incoming year. He is a man of large affairs and has felt the grilling of breaking mar- kets. “I should like to amend your remar wered, “by saying ‘Thank God for 1920. - When the clouds have rolled by and normal prosperity has reasserted itself, sound thinkers will look back upon 1920 as the year of our sal- vation, Another year of expansion, of wild spec ulation, of inflation, of high prices, of protiteer- ing, and of general debauch like that of 1919 the country would have blown up. It has been the! work of 1920 to lead the way back toward sani- ty and soundness, and in this respect it has made a record for achievement incomparable in the world’s history. Greed, passion, insane plunging in every phase; of endeavor that meant millions knew no bounds in 1919. Everything was strained to the verge of breaking, and the break would have come, a wide open break, if our bankers and the govern- ment in cooperation in the early months of 1920 had not demanded a quick, sharp stop to all this madness. Next to the crime of the great war itself will I ans- nd |. stand in criminality the year 1919, for its stupid, | wicked handling of a situation that called ear. nestly, called in all common sense for the inaugu- ration of strict economies and an immediate re- turn to work, to sound business methods and to standards of righteousness and sobriety both in our business activities and in our individual’ lives, 1920 has had to shoulder the burden of the monumental sins of 1919, and it has made great progress in clearing up an impossible situation and in bringing the nation back to a saner and calmer state of mind, The recession in our activ- ities, our restricted business, idle factories, pil- sied commerce, the crash in unworthy securities, dragging worthy securities down with them, dear money and unemployed men—all these were ia- evitable in the readjustment of an artificial, high- ly speculative situation that could not last, A philosophic view of the present depression and the causes producing it, with an intelligent: appreciation of the necessary processes of read: justment, must accept with complacency and ap: proval what the community generally with gloom laden utteran The community generally and the country at large would acclaim 1919 asa great y when in fact it was one of the worst the country has ever seen, one of the worst the world has ever seen, ‘The community generally and the country at large have had few good words for 1920, and especially the latter half of it. The job of 1929 has been to inaugurate the work of rectifying the damnable doing of 1919 in reckless spending, reckless living, reckless fi- nance and conscienceless profiteering, 1920 went: far in bringing about a better and. saner condi-, tion; 1921, the new year will carry on this work to completion, Getting out of debt is a far better business , than plunging into debt.
