Senate a faithful public servant. He leaves a record that will prove an inspir- wion to hundreds of thousands of others who begin life with no more advantage than he. Born in Norway ,he came to the United States at the age of six educated here, nlisted in the service of his country at the first opportunity, when the Civil War broke out, was wounded, later was ad- nitted to the bar and served in many public capacities before he was elected United States Senator. He served as Con gressman, Governor and United States Senator, his career overings a period of forty years He was the oldest mem yer of the United States Senate, and had served 28 years is Senator, Senator Nelson was known as an indefatigable worker. He was endowed with a powerful mentality, and possessed meconrage in his convictions which made him a strong pro- tagonist, and wan him great respect. ni lherence to principle throughout his long career, and his refusal to bend to passing whims or prejudice, set an example which may be well followed by public offic in high or low estate. WHERE PROGRESS IS BACKWARD The American system df government is one of checks and balances, and upon this theory many students of gov- ernment have held that the initative, referendum and recall have a place in the system. The fact that in actual practice they become offen simply instruments of agitation or poli- tics has caused many of the origi advocates of these pro- cedures in government either to class them as total failures or to urge a strict regulation of their use. In North Dakota an election is held. Two hundred thou- sand voters go to the pol nd elect men to the legislature understanding that they will legislate along certain lines. Then 7,000 names on a petition ifficient to hold up the law, to d emergency conditions and to force an election on others. In effect, minority rule is substituted for majority rule. North Dakota now is threatened with another election, fo cost the state probably $300,000 to $400,000, to’ disturb business conditions and to engender new bitterness. M states have found that the initiative, referendum and recall have been but instruments of agitation and resent- ment, have found their election ballots cluttered up with scores of questions which the majority of voters can not ae expected to inform themselves with sufficient thorough- ness to cast an intelligent vote. Often important questions hus are decided upon prejudice and political adherence, and; not upon the bas the people elect to the legislatur ta who helped defeat Senator Porter J. McCumber in the belief that they were merely exercising political prejudice, may not feel compli- mented to read that a representative of the Communist party of America, subservient to the Russian Internationale, en- gaged in formenting world revolution, claims that the Com- munists enginced the defeat of Senator McCumber. FINIS For three years the allies have been dynamiting the great fortifications built: by the Germans on Helgoland. German scientists “fear” the explosions have so shattered the under- lying rock that the sea will soon entirely annihilate the whole island. Too good to be true. Another echo of the big war from Washington, where it becomes known that about 1188 million dollars will be the damages demanded of Germany by Uncle Sam. This covers all government and citizens’ claims, including Lusitania losses. Balancing this against what the war cost us, we'll realize about five cents on the dollar. And that’s an extrava- Zant estimate. But safety is cheap at any price. STARS The pettiness of ourselves and the so-called troubles that worry us is emphasized by the Harvard astronomers’ report that 850 nebulae are discovered in one photograph of the heavens taken in Peru. Each nebula is a luminous gaseous m. Many of them are whole solar systems in the mak- ing, just as the sun, moon, earth and other planets once swirled together in the form of gas. A single grain of sand, thrown into the Pacific Ocean, is smaller by comparison than our earth in the vast universe. Human vanity is the most ridiculous of all jokes. MOB A negro, caught picking a stenographer’s pocket on an elevated train in New York City, is arrested. Cries of. “Get a rope!” and “String him up!” It takes several squadrons of police reserves to keep the crowd from lynching him. Alone, npt one person in that crowd would have thought of interfering at all, let alone hang. The mob spirit is con- tagious, temporary insanity quickly becomes epidemic That’s why a nation does childishly ridiculous things when at war. WRANGLE France is not too busy in the Ruhr to protest against Turkey granting an oil concession to American interests.
