The letter shows Dan was a “poor speller.” He spelled “done” D-u-n and “humble” o-m-b-c-l. So did nearly everyone else, in those days, for that matter. Common school education for all is a development of the last century, and easily the greatest of modern marvels. Defective spelling didn’t worry Boone, who punc- tuated his communications with rifle bullets. Spelling is needed now in making a living. But it wasn’t in Boone’s day. One of his greatest achieve- ments was leading a party of 30 to Lower Blue Licks, in the Indian country, to get a supply of salt. i Today he’d give his son a nickel and send him to the corner store. STYLES Frances Day, teacher of scientific housekeeping at, Western Reserve University, comments that most styles live only four years. j “The first year, the style is shown by exclusive houses. The second, it is worn by the best-dress- ed'group. In the third year, it is worn by every- one. And in the fourth, it continues popular with some.” i That is also true of thought. By the time pro- gressives get their ideas broadcasted to all, the ideas have become obsolete, new styles of “re- form’ crowding ‘them out: The last to see the light are the conservatives, “old fogies.” They are necessary, like the. big chunk of iron at the end of a hitching strap, to keep the prancing ‘reformers from running away. i WANDERLUST If chained to a dull job, you envy Dan O’Leary, who has walked 275,000 miles in his roving since 1874. uoyat an is a moving monument to the wanderlust of vagabond instinct that slumbers in all of us. Without it, we'd still be living near the gates of the Garden of Eden. i . ‘Columbus, American pioneers and all others who led vast streams of population ‘into new places—all were vagabonds. ‘But. we have built up a system that calls for sending out roots—camping in one locality for life. That’s why, in jealousy, civilization delights to jail tramps. i EXPLOITING The forests of Russia could be made to pay off tlie world’s whole, war debt‘in less than 100 years. ‘Economists make that claim. It dovetails-in with the Lord Milner plan, now guiding British reconstruction policy. ‘Britain thinks the way to get rid of war debts is, to develop wealth — exploiting, for instance, Africa and Russia. . ;Milner probably got his idea from America, which half a century ago made its Civil War debt fade into insignificance by a great railroad build- ing boom that unlocked the vast riches west of the Mississippi river. i DAN ‘Dan O’Leary, champion roamer, arrives in Bos- tom, having walked 275,000 miles since 1874. Dan is 81 years old, but shows: his strength by walking 44 miles in 9 hours 25 minutes. He expects to continue devoting his life to walk-j ing until he passes the century mark. Recently he made an,appointment to meet President Hard-| ing in Washington in 1942. ‘This roving champion’s tip to the rest of us is} that his excellent health is due to exercising his legs. The body gets rusty, functions improperly, unless kept active. Long walks beat medicine. é ESPERANTO :Radio is doing a lot to end mistrust and ill-feel- ing in Europe, and to break down the traditional barriers raised by secret diplomacy. . : ‘That's the size-up by Prof. A.

They are present here in order that our readers may have both sides of important issues which are being discussed in the prese of the day. A FORTUNATE STATE The Nonpartisan League of North Dakota ap- pears to be facing the greatest crisis of its career in the forthcoming June primaries and the No- vember elections. For seven years it kept the state in political turmoil. Now, declare old party leaders, it shows signs of disintegrating. Three years ago the League reached the zenith of its power. The people of North Dakota had given it carte blanche to lead them to the prom- prosperity. The answer to this mandate was the now historic New Day program. The formula- tion of that program witnessed the high-water mark of the League control and the beginning of its most scrious difficulties. The New Day program in itself contained some meritorious features not impossible of realization. The trouble seems to have arisen because of the political machinery designed to put the scheme into operation and the quality of the League’s leadership. Whatever the reasons, the program has flivvered. The Bank of North Dakota is practically insol- vent. The Home Builders’ Association is in hope- less confusion. The state-owned mill and ele- vator stand less ‘than half completed, .and the tax funds of the state are, largely, tied_up in long-time loans on farm. lands:>Consideértible money has been lost in banks ‘that faifed or has been squan- dered through: blundering officials. An inadequate sy§tem! of agriculture, weeds, black rust, five years ofdrought and the crash in the prices of farm products in 192Qjall helped to make the ruin of the program £0) When the people’fealized qgyvear ag Ww happened they demandéd a ‘house cleaning. A recall election was held last fall and the governor, the attorney general and the commissioner of agriculture, who constituted the Industrial Com- mission intrusted with the carrying out of the program, were deposed. This was a crushing blow to League prestige. To make it worse A. C. Townley was having per- sonal difficulties in the United States courts, which resulted in a three monthts’ jail sentence. During his troubles other leaders came forward. Among these Leiderbach, a former Townleyite, got control of a newspaper and began advocating the formation of 2 Nonpartisan League party. This was contrary to all the teachings of the founders, who sought control of the existing par- ties, and caused a division in League ranks: The paper’s stockholders finally forced Leiderbach and, his associates out of control, but, the damage wag ‘done. The League is split. .It.no longer pre- sents’an unbroken front to its opponents. * It is also ‘broke. Empty is its once well-filled war chest. Consequently there is gloom in the hearts lef the Leaguers and corresponding joy in the hearts of the old party politicians. ‘ Townley is no longer a factor in state politics. Instead of hopping blithely from place to place in his speedy airplane to deliver a few burning words to groups of the faithful, as he did when the League was in the heyday of its power, he sits gloomily. in exile awaiting a. call to return from Elba and lead his hosts to victory.

Now the picture has faded. Some of the people in the state are much dis- couraged, but they have no reason to be. North Dakota has been quite fortunate. While a wild land boom and kindred extravagances were sweep- ing neighboring-states, the farmers of North Da- kota were grimly jousting with political wind- mills, seeking the lairs of. the ogres responsible for their. woes. The farmers of North Dakota ‘had just as much excitement as the farmers of older and therefore more prosperous states, and it has cost them only a fraction as much. They.can be truly thankful for the mad crusade in which they were so fruit- lessly engaged. North Dakota has no large debts and almost no bonded indebtedness. It is econom- ically sound and it has a great future. The people of the state have received a liberal education. They have learned that no brand of | politics can take the place of a sound system of | agriculture, and they have launched an aggressive campaign to build up the weak points in their farming methods.
