It would: be a fine civic undertaking to give Mr. Nestos, Mr. Johnson and Mr. Kitchen a royal wel- come. It could be made a state wide affair or, limited to the community within whose gates | these men will function for the next year at least.| It should be strictly non-political. These men} take thei# seats,withogt, party label or party sig-| nificatice and thé-celebration sHould be so arranged that the farmers of the county as well as the city residents would feel free to participate. Political animosities can well.be forgotten now that the} election is over and when fair minded men are interested only in promoting the welfare of the state and in getting back to normalcy. The Tribune offe ie worth to the civic bodies of the city, to its mayor and members of the city commission. e THE RED CROSS ~ Interest in the Red Cross has slumped some| since the war. It was a natural subsidence be-' cause the Red Cross then touched every home in- timately for. it administered to the needs of the heroes who had gone across to fight the battle of democracy. Now that there is some indifference to this society on the part of the masses there is more reason that safeguards should be thrown about) gown by one of Dan Cupid’s arrows, for Page the administrative officials of every local chap-| married the nurse who cared for him after he was ter. The Red Cross is an essential, vital organ-|oyt of the wreckage. i ization and in time of peace functions as efficient- ly as in times of war. It is organized for great emergencies and hence is as it were “on its toes” all the:tim Se TU ea There are many patriotic people attending ‘to its administrative functions, most of them: with-| out pay ‘and it is.a tribute to them’that the taint) of scandal or mismanagement seldom attaches to, the society which is the greatest neutral organiza- tion in the world for the alleviation of distress. The Burleigh county chapter under its various chairmen has had a wonderful record. It ranks high in the chapters of the state and today has a good reserve to meet all. legitimate needs for -re« lief—that is the demands for assistance’ that come within the Red Cross definition of appro- priate relief. : si Unfortunately Dr. F. R.. Smyth who has served so efficiently as chairman is forced to resign as his duties with the federal health service do not permit him to give the time that he feels is neces- sary to the many problems that are arising daily. Mrs. Thomas Poole, the secretary of the chapter, who for a slight remuneration and then only since hostilities ceased, is also with the health service and cannot attend to both duties. She must re- tire after serving most efficiently and keeping the records so as.to win commendation of. all the chapter officials. ay, aed The members .of ‘the Burleigh’ county chapter then are confroxted with the fecessity of electing a new board to:admigibter the affairs of the so- ciety. There should*be a representative attend- ance at the membership meeting so that officials who are elected will direct the affairs in the same efficient and conservative manner as in. the past. There are so many calls upon the Red Cross that it takes a real diplomat and plenty of cour- age and tact to separate the legitimate demands from those which do not fall properly into Red Cross activities. Dr. Smyth has sensed perfect- ly the spirit of the Red Cross and he has refused to permit the chapter or its funds to be used for anything that could not be construed as a Red Cross function. This is not an easy task and it is going to be hard to find one who will take the pains and possesses the courage to protect the chapter against improper demands. His experi- ence with poor relief for years in this community has been of vast assistance to him and it is with genuine regret that the Red Cross membership receives the news of the resignations of Dr. Smyth and Mrs. Poole. They kept up the high mark of efficiency established by Bradley Marks, the first chairman and later Rev. Buzzelle. It is up to the members to see that their suc-|picked out one line and stuck to it. Another said cessors are chosen from men who understand what the Red Cross society stands for and who will have the courage to prevent dissipation of Red Cross funds for. objects that may. be very worthy, but are not properly within the scope of Red Cross activities.

The writer shid he was a bookkeeper who had plodded alchg, while others im the same office had passed him. He had tried:one thing! thing that seems to agree with him. \The young! man ended his letter with the old plaint that the “world owes everybody a living.” ; The letter brought a shower of communications which not cnly threw Kght on the situation, but which also furnish an illuminating insight into what the public thinks of a man who hasn’t the nerve to stick on and strike just a little harder when adyersities confront him. One correspond- ent said the young man might do some good if he it did not appear to bea matter of some job that would agree with the whiner, but the inability of the latter to adapt himself to something long enough to give it a working chance. One writer, more direct in thought than literary in style, summed up his opinions in the following para- “The world may owe everybody a living all right, but elected. an Independent governor, at- torney general’ and, commissioner of agriculture, and labor, but by a slight] majority these same voters, apparent- x4 voted against the laws, proposed by ie are the main issue, in the mind of the) litical and economic sides, a splendid great mass of people, j 13 tion, and the fandidat the top of Mie than 4 4 so voters to meet the woman destined to sit across the! persons than‘abstra ‘| withstanding’ the “Jong! coaching | both ‘sides, ‘there also doubtless was ; — = el Gee 4'confusion in minds’ ‘ot RELIEF {E48 way they wadtei” to'''vote on . the amendment“and laws.’ * attention ‘now, compared with war-time, but it is! we were teiwell amended at tho 1920| carrying on its good work as ably and persistently’ election that most of the! radical and! ¢-ntod by very.serious problems, and dangerous features fostered by the! “ 2 a 5 :; out-and-out ‘socialist—looters, already Its relief operations during the last, fiscal year|we-:e eliminated’ and had been check- included distribution of food, clothing ‘and medi-|°* called from:-office by the~ people of day life.

OVERNOR: PREK Joseph A. Kitchon, newly : elected commiss‘pner of agriculture in Norta ‘Dakota,: says: Governor Preus: influ- enced enough voters to turn the-tide in favor of recall of the Nonpartisan League triumvirate. If the governor 1/ could persuade himself that, that was the fact.;:he probably would consider his campaigning in North Dakota as one of the very: best ‘things he ever ‘had done in.the: way of public service. ‘Some pf the newspapers friendly to the Nonpartisan League raised a ques - tion of political ethics or propriety m connection with Governor Preus’ t: ing. part in the North Dakota cam: paign. Thoy suggested that he had no business to leave the, office to which he was elected in oré 0 £0 across the state line and ‘‘butt in” ou a political fight. Tt was a family af fair, they said. and North Data vot- ers. might well resent the. intrusion from the.outside. If there was any ‘such resentment, ta the fact’was not re- action of voters ‘at the “jeast not in the general re- sults. rface indications were, ac- cording to Mr. Kitchen, that Governor Preus was well received wherever he spoke and that his counsel was ac- cepted as disinterested and souni. 3 = SS leaguers about: the initiated laws not} passing.

Nestis,ran on a platform that called for the continuance of the mill and elevator and he was elected as govecnor. The voter was.asked to vote for money to. finish these two projects but they turned the proposi- tion'down. The only way that we can figure out the wishes of the majority of voters of the state—if they knew what they were voting on—is that they wantei a change to give Nestos a chance to reduce taxation, cut down state expense; and ‘to give the state a business administration, It shows that the people are against state so- cialism and against the state goinz into private business’enterprises. That is'what is meant after the voters havc voted no on‘ the proposition to issuc bonds to complete the mill and eleva- tor. ‘We can see no other solut‘on to the problem.—Valley.
