JSON A. MILES ‘Known as the “boy general” of the Civil War, Nelson A. Miles, soldier and American patriot, was among the last of the prominent figures in that struggle. He belonged to the old school and nearly achieved the distinction of being in three great wars. The Civil, Spanish- American and The World War. Retired in 1903, he asked to be recalled to the colors when United States entered the World War in 1917. +#Tt was one of the saddest moments of his life when the war department refused to make an exception in his case. His name is woven into the romance of this -the state. fighter. section of Many pioneers knew him as a courageous Indian | He defeated the Cheyennes, Comanches and the Kiowoas in the southwest and battled with the Sioux in the Northwest driving Sitting Bull out of his country. His name : ;Struck fear to many hostile chiefs among the various Indian tribes. He had Jefferson Davis in charge following the assassina- tion of Lincoln and shackled the leader of the rebellion. All in all, he had a most colorful military career. He won his spurs in the Civil War and by sheer ability as an able fighter gained recognition that has seldom been bestowed on one not graduating from West Point. Even after retirement, he was actively interested in mili- tary affairs and became Adjutant General of the Massachv- | “sets Militia. Despite the strenuous life he lived General Miles was vigorous to the end and died as all good: soldiers wish with “their shoes on.” demand. SIMPLY A JUST DEMAND é “The cost of production plus a fair profit” is the farmers’ It is just and what all industry must get to ey tt Less than that means disaster and inevitable bankruptcy To get the farmers this should be the obligation of all those interested in stabi ture languishes all business suffers. Twenty. ng the basic industry for when agricul- e farm organizations of the Middle West meet-. ing at Des Moines recently selected a council of twenty-five to work some plan to put farming on the same basis as other forms of industry. There is no politics in this arrangement for as politics is eliminated from the solution of the agrarian problems, progress is likely to follow. North Dakota has witnessed the futility of seeking to induce profits for the farmer through legislation. Taxes have sprouted in place of profit: proper yield to the f. the ; deficits in lieu of dividends. This council or comm simple rules of busines ion will study plans to bring a rmers who are industrious and apply to the practice of their industry. Their farms must be capitalized fairly, methods of produc- tion must be modern and essential requirements complied with by progressive business men everywhere the rule of thei ir farm management. Under these conditions, it should not be hard to determine what should constitute a fair value. The various farm organizations acting as a unit to standardize farm accountancy and methods will in time de- velop a system whereby cost experience that is worthwhile can be established. Today, only the occasional or exceptionai farmer knows his costs. With the aid of this organization a great majority of farmers should be able to compile their cost experience so as to guide marketing operations. The farming business must submit to the same gruelling tests of efficiency that obtain in all forms of successful business. costs and produce profits mean better and more intensive farming, balancing of crops, a study of the markets and cooperative marketing wherever feasible. industry have learned to keep careful cost records for in no other way can leaks be stopped and overhead eliminated where it has become excessive. Expereince has shown that the government, state or federal, cannot underwrite the farmers of the nation) It is bound to be a slow process. To standardize Other forms of Re- turns cannot be guaranteed by the fiat of law, they must come through organization of the farm industry and the strict supervision and regulation of the great terminal mar- kets. That throws considerable light on President Coolidge’s declaration. that curtailment of work of local authorities. CHEATERS Persons who consider models to have different morals as a class from other girls do harm to those girls. But they also do themselves a more serious wrong. They encourage their own mental machine to be lazy. But most of all they rob themselves of the joy of knowing that goed- ness and purity can be found everywhere.

KING GEORGE DECIDES AG ANY MORE ROYAL RESIDENCES London, May 16---(AP)—Disregard- ing ancient precedent set down by! Roran emperors, King George re- cently, declined to accept a legacy of Gwyrch Castle in Wales and $260,000 for its upkeep, bequeathed to him in trust by the Countess of Dundonald who died last year leaving an estate valued at more than $1,000,000. Hope was expressed in the countess’ will that the castle would become a per- ‘manent residence for the kings of England and for the princes of Wales, but as the bequest has been disclaimed by the ruler the property will pass, according to: directions, to the Order of St. John of Jeru- salem in England.

Anything rather than touch the gen- sitive spot of race pride. The one thing the enlightened of the other races are determined to establish at all hazards is that they are just as human as the white man. Oriental Race Problem Is But One It is a question whether, in fleeing the Oriental race problem, we have not run into another, Except in the branches of farming which they had already monopolized, the Japanese are leaving the fields and flocking to other occupations in the cities. The tradition of the American land owner is that “white men” will not |do farm labor. To be sure, they have done it in every generation be- fore this, and they are doing it now, where they are their own employers, on their own farms But they will not hire out to find to do it—at least, not for the wages and living conditions he provide So, as the Oriental goes, the Mexica is brought in to take his place. And these Mexican laborers, for the most part, are not in any sense “white men.” They are pure, or nearly pure, Indian. They present relief and health problems, an the Oriental, and, it is now evident, they will present a race problem also. We knew the Oriental problem was too much for us. Will the Mexican one be any easier? No Wonder Our People Do Not Cast Votes One thing the Germans did.

What made the difference? Doubtless many things. But cer- tainly one was the short ballot. Un- der the German system, the voter knows what he is voting. He votes, once in seven years, for president, « and, at that election, else. At shorter intervals, he votes for for nothing members of the Reichstag. In state, and local governments the corre- sponding offices, and no others, are elective. When the voter votes; he knows what he is voting. Every vote, in that sense, is an intelligent vote. How many intelligent votes are cast at an American election? As to most of the ticket—exactly none! Examine yourself. Did you ever vote at an election at which you knew anything about most of the candidates, or had any personal judgment on them? The writer once challenged the faculty of Stanford University to produce one of their number who had cast an intelligent vote on state treasurer. No one responded. No wonder our people refuse to vote a ballot which none of them can vote intelligently. o—___-___________»z | A THOUGHT | i o— ——— Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than ‘he that is perverse in ‘his ways, though he be rich—Prov. 28:6, Not he who has little, but he who withes for more, is poor.—Seneca.
