(Established 1873) al City, State and County Newspaper) (Offici LOOKING AHEAD Some league editors resent letters from Senator Ladd asking them to give him information as to farmers’ picnics so he can attend as many a8 possible when in the state this summer, Evidently Mr. Ladd is not going to follow Pres- ident Coolidge’s advice. ‘The chief executive has suggested a period of silence until Congress convenes. He let it be known that as far as the White House was concerned publie questions would not be discussed weekly as in the past. The , New York papers have been referring to the policy as 4 “poultice of silence.” ’ 2 Mr. Ladd belie in getting back into the state and looking after his fences. There are some that must be ; mended between now and June 1926 and time is really the essence of his job now. He expects to get as close to the - farmers as he can even to the extent of picnicking. He wants . to take in as many farmers’ gatherings as time will allow and in order not to slight any locality, he asks that dates : be forwarded to him as promptly as possible. & Doubtless Ladd will direct some of his remarks on the 2 summer hustings to such an intimate question as: “My Republicanism” or “How Far Can One Stray And Stay a ; Republican.” The summer picnics in the rural districts with Ladd de- + fending his Republicanism against the wrath of the stand- patters should prove a drawing card. But there are signs of rebellion against the Senior Sen- ator in certain quarters. How he will smooth out the oppo- * sition and what organization will develop for the 1926 battle ; Will be an interesting development of the campaign.

A SIGNAL HONOR North Dakota is the first state in the nation to go over : the top in the American Legion endowment fund drive. This state has added another laurel to the many gained during the various campaigns to raise funds for’ a worthy cause. Its quota has been oversubscribed just as were the ‘assigned during the war in the Red Cross and Liberty* Loan drives. Few took the propaganda seriously that this state was ever anything but patriotic. Despite its political differences, when, the call came to aid in times of war or in times of peace, the response in North Dakota has been spontaneous. Special credit is due also, to the excellent organizations in the various cities which made this record possible. The cause was so worthy, however, that success was assured, ; but effective campaign plans were also responsible for much of the success in this state. LAZINESS } It is strange how often you here remarks as: “Lawyers are a crooked lot,” or “Show women are a wild lot,” or “All children have the devil in them.” Such comments are, of course, untrue, and viciously cruel. They are the product of lazy minds. A little thinking convinces that no group of persons is | of the same moral fiber. All lawyers are not bad, nor are all lawyers good. But many persons avoid a little thinking by devising , little codes. And when some one mentions a politician, they ‘chime in: ‘Every man has his price.” Thus they escape the effort of ascertaining for themselves the true. worth of the person in question. ; DOGS | : A movie director points out that you can wallop a man ‘with a slapstick ‘and your audience will roar with laughter. ; Slap a dog, and your audience will roar with indignation. ‘ Cities try to muzzle dogs this time of the year because a few become wild and bite people.

We have cut out “lost motion” in our machinery, and in our human organizations. We have learned that no |amount of ability, character or good intentions will accom- jplish much, unless given proper tools to work with. ‘That is, we have learned this, and done this, with every- thing but government. But let us make a few comparisons lof governmental methods, considered from the standpoint, not of principles, policies or “freedom,” but simply of me- chanical efficiency. After a month’s campaign, the Germans elect a president. The next week he is in office. If an irreconcilable deadlock comes in the parliament, as it has done three times in a year, the old parliament is disso'ved that day, and three weeks later a new parliament is elected, in office and in session, with a new chancellor at the head of the government, chosen on the issue of that deadlock, and in accordance with the vote of the people on it. A similar deadlock ccmes in America. An election, prob- ably not on that issue, comes off on a predetermined calendar date, a year later for the House and a third of the Senate, three years later for the president, and five years later for the last of the Senate. The new president is not in office until four months, and the new Con- gress not in session until 11 months after election. Meantime, the de- feated president and Congress con- tinue to rule the country. Why this enormous contrast in mechanical efficiency? Just two reasons. One is that ours was the most advanced system in the world in 1789. The other is that the roads were ‘bad, and there were no rail- roads or telegraphs in 1789. And we have been taught that it is “un- patriotic” to know anything about government that has been found out since that date. Another Example of an Old Policy Consider another example. The California legislature has just ad- journed. Probably its record does not differ mnch from that of other legislatures. It passed 1001 new laws. About a hundred of them went through during the main body of the session and were signed or ve- toed—mostly vetoed—by the gov- ernor. The rest were rushed through in the final days and passed to the counting those who worked them-|\governor, who now has 30 days in selves to death paying bills, which to sign or “pocket veto” them, : without any appeal from his deci- A hen doesn't lead such a bad life,|sion to either the legislature or the Autos killed 19,000 last year, not We wouldnt mind being able to sit] Peo ! still for three weeks, He has announced that he will = veto most of them, and will hold| Another thing to turn green in | the’ spring is the man who drinks|them, He require no posirive the dandelion wine he makes, objections to a bill to veto it, but seille will demand a very positive show- Cannon~ has — st irg for it to sign it. 5 4 5 This is not a néw policy or a per- sonal peculiarity of the present gov- ernor. All his predecessors, for at least a generation, have done the the presumptions against all of Uncle Joe Christmas cigars are all gone. Not long ago a man told us there was no Claus. Now. scientists! The campaign lasts eight months. same thing, with the full sanction of the legislature and of the people. The legislators themselves would be in a panic, and the people horrified, if there were any expectation that the mere fact that a bill passed tha legislature assured its becoming a law. The governor, with such friends as he may privately consult, is the government. And the people, even those who may dislike or distrust a particular governor, feel safer under this system. If this were a description of some foreign country, or of some recent innovation in America, would not the pretense that it ‘government by the people” or “representative government” be greeted as a shriek- ing farce? Because it practically works, we like it. And because we are used to it, we do not realize its absurdity. Senate Can Win Approval by Re- ponding to Public Complaints come from devoted partisans that Vice President Dawes’ crusade for reform of the Senate may jeopardize Republican control after the next election, by spreading distrust of the Senate. This is putting the cart before the jhorse. “Distrust of the Senate” al- ready exists. If the Senate, after the Vice President has convinced the people that the reform is needed, fails to make it—who will be re- sponsible for the consequences, Dawes or the Senate? But if the Senate responds to the popular demand—what surer way to win popular approval? It is up to the Senate. The true remedy is not to suppress the reform movement, but to get aboard it. say the bee isn’t so busy, 3 in ‘their ‘native tongue, Hope the Boers were not bored. ‘own prince of Italy is going| 1 case of sunstroke give the pa- All these prince boys havej tient cool drinks of water or cold fever, black tea or coffee, if the patient is able to drink.
