In many respects his solution for North: Dakota follows the program of the Independents which for several campaigns failed to attract; enough votes to win a victory. Vast sums of money have been: spent by the league to put over their various campaigns and considerable funds have been collected by the Independents to ad- vance a moditied program of state ownership of mills, elevators and a land bank. The league won because the farmers believed that the program would work out better in the hands of its fathers than in control of those who believed in a middle of the road policy. LeSueur has joined the ranks of the mild so- cialists who would venture a little public money for experimental purposes and with some excep- tions, is for the general restrictive program urged by a portion at least of the Independents. LeSueur of course has diagnosed the trouble in North Dakota—a child Could do it in the light of recent exposures. He declares that the pro- gram is controlled by politicians and not busi- nessmen. That is the fatal defect and it will al- ways be the cause of failure of state ownership under our. American syatgm-of government which is.controlled by a party system. “State ownership under any clique of politi- ciang will fail. If Mr. LeSueur could guarantee a state government of supermen, probably the scheme would work—but even then the Tribune is,of the opinion that the supermen might slip, Good - businessmen will ‘not run utilities subject to’goyernmental control. ' Politicians usually get the jobs and are equally versatile in passing the buck when failure results. . There are too many “ifs” in LeSueur’s scheme of remedying conditions in this state: No one can ‘successfully underwrite the politicians who inevitably must undep ‘dit system control the destinies of any. industrial program that. is adopted. " His and all other middle of the road remedies are merely expedients—stepping stones upon which politicians hope to climb into office. A SAFE PUBLIC SERVANT John Steen, state treasurer, a man: who has never compromised on the issue of state social- ism, is a safe public servant in this crisis. In any scheme of liquidation that is promised, his past’ record should commend him to everyone in- terested in cleaning house and restoring the credit of the state government. He is one publie officer who will not be swayed by -sophistical contrivances, nor has he in the past been groping vainly for a middle between the right and the wrong. In his capacity. ag.gtate treasurer, if clothed with the proper. power, he can liquidate this so- cialistic dream and salvage in -the process as mutch for the taxpayer as any man. All the legislature and state administration need is the courage to make Mr. Steen receiver and clean up the mess with as little expense as possible. This is a simple solution of what the politi- cians are trying to make a very hard job with their foolish expedients. The time has come to do business in North Dakota and the taxpayers want protection im- mediately and results. If, the political deadlock is so acute that such “a provision could not. be made by legislative en- actment it would be well to draw up a law pr viding for the immediate liquidation of the state’ industries. and designating the state treasurer as the man to do the job. Such a law could be initiated. and would bring the issues squarely before the people of the state. ; It would serve the purpose of a recall effect: ively: and show. the taxpayers that there is a keen desire to clean house, honestly and expedisjthe state, may be all right as far as they go. i tiously and_to abolish forever the menace of state socialism. IF YOU WERE 99 YEARS YOUNG When Barr Spangler enteréd his store at Mar- fetta, -Pa., the other morning, an employe tender- ed his congratulations. Barr couldn’t figure why. “It’s your 99th birthday, isn’t it-’ And then Barr remembered that it was.

J., the other day to sary they found the young lady washing dishes. “Never worry! That's the best rule for good health and long life,” Miss Hancock, in excellent health, says. “Even if the world is upside down ! paling providence somehow smoothes out hil the | perplexities.” Miss Hancock especially likes pie, cake and candy. What a grand idea it ‘would be if there could What a world of interest-| of the United States! ing history and gossip and advice could be given to the rest of the world by such people as Barr Spangler, 99, who wrestles with flour barrels, and of candy and cake. GOING AFTER IT “As to business—there is plenty of business for those who go after it,” says Edwin Hobby, Dallas, Tex.,- banker. ‘men well may “face the future with serene con- \fidence.” But he was speaking of those “who go after” the business. “One of the most gratifying things in the pres- of declining prices. A business-reporting agency finds that “84 per cent of the business concerns which failed in 1920 were non-advertisers.” i In other words, the failures were NOT the men “who go after it.” COFFEE IS OUR “MIDDLE NAME” The average American drinks the liquor made of 13 pounds of coffee a year. The United States, | Holland alone excepted, is the “champion coffee Its consumption jumped 42 per cent last year over the preceding one, with the total crop, three- fourths of which come from Brazil, three billions of pounds. And did you know that the green coffee berry is nothing other than ‘the seed of a cherry? Yes, and@-like our own, they turn red when they ripen. ready for the market. When ripe the cherries are picked, the outside pulp ground off by machinery, the seeds are dried in the air, and then the husks around’ the coffee| “bean” are also removed by machinery and the} beans baked aftér sorting for grade. THE LONELY HEIGHTS President-elect Harding has complained of the} loneliness that already encompasses him though it is still several weeks before he will be installed in the presidency. Old friends, he says, seem to hold, aloof ; and he feels an invisible barricr that has risen between him and. his fellows. Men can not disassociate him from the exalted office he is about to enter. : Loneliness is the penalty greatness exacts from those it favors. ' He who ascends the heights will find himself pretty much alone. The more warm-hearted the man, the more poignant the sense of solitude that great distinc- tion imposes. Early in his administration President Wilson, too, protested against the loneliness of thé presi- dential office. ; Taft welcomed the opportunity to return to |private life and to familiar association with his; fellows. | But Theodore Roosevelt was one of the few ground leased mortals who can scale the heights and take the crowd along. He was never lonely and even the jungles of Africa ceased to be solitudes when he drrived. i Every automobile has several talking points. | No. 1 is the drop in gasoline and never mind the rest. ‘EDITORIAL REVIEW Comments reproduced in thie column not exprese the opinion of The T-inne, They ary a Bieeenten peg in order thet our readera may have aides of trpertant tnsnes which | cussed In the preven the dae AT Seine ie HOUSE CLEANING DEMANDED Two measures introduced by the in the lower house looking to the partial relief of the situation in North Dakota by changing the personnel of the industrial commissien, by Substituting Thos.
