They maim | tain this in spite of scores of examples to the contrary. Consider the state mill at Grand Forks. J. V. A. and Nonpartisans alike have united at times in pledging support to the institution, run on an absolutely business basis and without political considerations. The manager of the mill had an opportunity to purchase some Canadian wheat at a price that would enable him to make a profit, his location being favorable for a cheap pur- chase of the grain. Of course, it is repugnant to North Da- kotans that grain should be bought in Canada. Yet the manager of the mill declared it was good business and he | was there to make the business pay. He must cease the practice. % i + A state law requires the state board of administration to, purchase supplies on competitive bid. It has done so. It purchased flour for the state insane hospital at Jamestown and let the contract to the lowest bidder, which was a private flour milling concern which bid under the state mill. This practice is assailed by political opponents of the state administration. It was stopped even before an attack | was made, board of administration members declare. It has always been considered good business for the state to buy from the low bidder, and it is the law. The private mill at Jamestown, which pays taxes, cannot sell flour to the state. . The two examples are noteworthy, in that they point out the difficulty of conducting the state-owned mill on a purely business basis, and without regard to politics. ee WALL STREET UNAFRAID *Senator Magnus Johnson descended upon New York a few days ago. One can imagine the curiosity, perhaps the trembling fear, with which Wall street awaited the visit of jthat which they so indignantly at- | the-political thunderbolt from Minnesota. But if Wall street was surprised when Magnus was elected, it must have been more surprised’ when he made his first speech in the great city. For organs that are called “Wall street organs” find that Magnus isn’t half as red as he was painted, that he has many good qualities—the organs even go so far as to extend a hand of welcome to Magnus. The lily-handed parlor socialists of New York went out to welcome the conquerer with open arms. And, behold, Magnus’ first pronouncement was that he was not a radical. He declared he was for constitutional government. He as- serted his opposition to government ownership of railroads. * Some of the views of Senator Johnson appear to be con- flicting. One began to suspect that Magnus was somewhat of a politician when he swamped Governor Preus in Minne- sota. One is well nigh convinced when Magnus can descend on Wall street and receive a friendly nod as he leaves. IN DESPAIR : The attempt to obtain cheap energy, by unlocking the vast power contained in the atom, is practically futile, ac- cording to a leading English scientist. He virtually “throws | other—New the sponge” because able minds have been trying for about 20 years to release the energy in the atom, and seem no nearer to success than when they started. Shucks! That’s no reason for becoming discouraged. ihe mtn beet discourages. | MANDAN NEWS _| Twenty years is nothing in the long history of humanity. | Why,.the crude principle of the steam engine was known 2000 | 3 years orso ago.

Such great discoveries nearly always are the result of accident— blunder. And accident is like lightning, it comés unexpect- edly, cannot be foreseen. It should be remembered that the seemingly impossible discoveries are made at unexpected moments. world was joking about airplanes and predicting that they were impossible, the Wright brothers suddenly made the first trip. It was so with the auto. Nature demands her price, payment in full, for every- thing she gives us. A crop isn’t matured to harvest over- night. It requires time, patience, effort. And, on the aver- age, the farmer gets no more from his work than he puts into it. fe , The ability to harness the atom’s power would be worth thousands of years of research. : We can’t expect nature to e us her secret until we have labored enough to deserve it. ble is,, humanity expects too much—wants its pay be- “Fe the job is finished. ae ESCAPE . % & Memphis construction supervisor, W.

Our }local leaders of political shock | troops, the “romantic rebels,” as |they have been called, gathered {about the rough Swede from the |Minnesota farm to feast and to flatter him.

If they wanted to get up a snug little third party of their own, that was their atfair; he would have nothing to do with it at present. His first and main en-| deavor would be to make us2 one or the other of the existing parties. If that failed, it woald ve time enough to talk. Meanwhile he made it plain that ‘ne wouid neither part nor lot with tie little groups of our best thinkers who lunch on the social revolution and dine off the dictatorship of the pro- letariat. It ig a part of the unconscious humor of our romantic rebels that they are sublimely unconscious of the figure they cut in the eyes of the observant. It is probable, therefore, that they did not give a | thought to the spectacle they were making of themselves in groveling before Magnus Johnson. It was, in fact, the worst possible example cf tack —the worship of the god of things as they are. Senatér John- son had won a great success in Minnesota. That was énoiigh™ for them. They would hitch their wag- on to his star if they could. To be sure, they had long been preaching the doctrine of the.need of educat- ed and inspiring leadership, of an enlightened vision of the future, of passionate devotion to the welfare of the wronged and inarticulate masses, but what did all that mat-} ter if they could somehow contrive to attach their movement to this tude Orson of the prairies? Their whole display of them- selves was go ludicrous that it did not seem as if any touch were needed to make it complete.
