Sorlie’s intention to avoid an election is wise if legally possible. The saving to the state of $100,000 and} the boredom of a midsummer election are not to be weighed too lightly. Taxpayers and residents gene will approve | of the Governor's intention to select a successor to Senator | Ladd in his own good time. He points out also that there} is no need of impetuous haste. Senator Ladd has not been} carried to his final resting place. News of his death had! scarcely ticked over the wires until the politicians began! their hurrying and scurrying in the hopes of forcing Gov. Sorlie into some definite announcement. { It might be a mark of respect to the services of Senator Ladd to wait until his body has been brought back to this state and buried in Fargo with honors befitting his offic and the services he has rendered to this state both in his capacity as an educator and as a public official. Political factions may force the issue into court. There is a host of candidates for the place. Gov. Sorlie’s intentior to remain firm in the face of pressure for an election is admirable. He seems determined to put the expense and the responsibility of forcing a special election upon those fae- tions in the Nonpartisan League and I. V. A. ranks who care little for the expense involved. All interests would be served if Gov. Sorlie were to name a successor to Senator Ladd as evidently he intends to do. If Gov. Sorlie is not within the law in making the appoint-! ment then those who are meticulously inclined in such mat-| ters can resort to the courts. | SITUATION IS THREATENING ‘Lack of governmental control is the chief menace in the Chinese situation. In relations with Japan, the United States deals with a wholly competent government, but in the e of China there is practically no government. Communism finds the chaotic condition in China a most fertile soil inj which to propagate. Peking and Canton are rival capitals. | Agreements arrived at with one facti¢a are not binding upon | t the other. Recognition of Peking by the important powers continues! during the crisis. The United States, in common with all/ major world powers, is seeking to continue in China a cen- tral government, as it is not practical nor advisable to recog- nize the various military despots which rule over the Chinese Empire by force of arms China seems helpless in the face of the present crisi: Accustomed to the habit of local self-government, the Ch nese have failed in the construction of a strong central gov- ernment that can control the millions of their race. Anti-foreign demonstrations have been incited by the! various factions intent upon exploiting the Chinese and their wealth. Foreign powers are seeking to impress upon the Chinese the benefits to be derived by a strong stable central | government that can protect society against the mob and the bandit. FATE OF THE VILLAGE { Automobiles and good roads have done much to depop- | ulate the small town or village. Trade habits have been revolutionized as the result of the automobile. Some are | now predicting the fate of the Main Street municipality of some 400 to 1,000 souls, but not so fast, says one theorizer, who sees in the airplane an agency of transportation that may make of the great metropolis a “deserted village.” This generation probably will not see either the small village disappear or the big city revert back to the village, but it is all interesting speculation. Not so long ago the steam cars caused a marked change in the habits of the people. Roads were neglected and the hotels that had been; built along the stage routes closed down. Then came the automobile and with it improved highways, the road houses and inns. The old law of averages seems to be on the job eternally, keeping us on a more or less even keel. Every change, brings its readjustments which are so gradual as a rule as{ not to disturb economic conditions in a violent manner. TENNESSEE’S EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM Statistics show that as late as 1920, Tennessee spent only $5 per capita for education.. Short term schools naturally | resulted and illiteracy was prevalent. The latter situation still prevails, but the governor of the state has succeeded in securing eight months’ sessions in the public schools. This came at the same legislative session as did the so-called “monkey bill.” i The longer school term should finally correct a condition | of ignorance that made possible the passage of the law to prohibit the teaching of evolution in the public schools. Some observers informed upon conditions in Tennessee declare that if the “monkey bill” had not been passed, the legislation to secure a longer term for the youth of that state wonld have failed. Supporters of the public system in that state are willing to stand the ridicule the law has brought down upon Tennessee if the young people can get eight months of school each year even if the theory of evolution has to be barred from the curriculum. mirror by. which just ‘Your newspaper is the mirror by which you can see jus wht the civilization, which your daily life helps mold, looks If it is full of crime news, or murders and robberies and heecie ad drunkennesses and assorted scandals, don’t put lame on the editor. * ill the b iar aps a little.

The head disciple is an Eng- man who teaches that humans attain happiness in this life only by starting their careers completely anew. Neophytes must assert that they are as nothing, nobodies, that they know nothing and have no wills of their own. After being completely subjected in this attitude they then begin*to assume wills of their own, to learn only such things as will benefit them and bring them happiness. One of the converts to this new cult is a magazine editor. The group also includes several writers, actors and critics. One of the recent ini- tiates was told that he would have to break rock for 20 months to prove that he was nobody. Consciously or unconsciously these cultists are embracing the Christian doctrine. What they are doing is “ become as a babe,” to be born again And that is the basis of salvation in almo Christian creeds, Yet most of these cultists undoubtedly would |sneer at the efforts of an orthodox | church to convert them. ‘They “want their salvation sug: outed.

Intellectually, science guides us. The human mind has -not improved appreciably for ages, but science makes its thinking a million-fold more effective. Science is rationalizing commerce land finance, and is on the way to outlaw poverty and war. Spiritually, it has stretched our vision across ten billion stars and into the secrets of the atom. No {mind has glimpsed that vision could be much inspired by a conception of God any less infinite. Tf there are reactonaries who think all this progress an evil, no crusade of theirs can impose the limitations of the past on the knowl- edge of the present. Tt might, at most, segregate those unfamiliar with that knowledge, to live in our time the mental life of another age.

It says, “it is futile, therefore, to look for the primitive stock of the human species in any existing animal.” This is, of course, exactly what Darwin himeelf said. No “existing” animal—that is, no species now alive—is the “prtmative stock’ ‘of the human species, or of any other. All existing animals, including man, were preceded by other species which no longer exist. All the “primitive stock” became extinct long ago. The present species were either descended from them, or were separately created after them and unrelated to them. If man was created unrelatedly, his creator lacked the resourceful- ness tovhang his viscera from the ends suitable to his upright habit, and hung them, instead, by adapting imperfectly the exact attachments of his quadruped predecessors. Untold human ills are the conse- quences from which our quadruped neighbors are exempt. Intelligent readers of this boasted Tennessee book will know that this is. what it means. Unintelligent school boards and prosecuting attor- neys are supposed not to find it out. IN HEALTH HERE’S HELP FOR INSECT BITES or four hours slight rubbing must be repeated.

The man who could stretch himself as far as he liked, looked on the moon without moving and picked it out of the Moon Man’s well. : “‘Now may I have her? asked the prince, handing the red turquoise to the queen. “ “Certainly not! I didn’t mean it,’ said the queen, ‘You must eat those handred fat oxen to be seen from yon window, and drink a hundred egs of wine—all before noon.’ “‘Leave it to me,’ whispered the fat man from behind the curtain. “Your Highness, they are all gone,’ announced a servant in less t five minutes. “At this the good queen—I mean the bad queen—flew into a great rage. ‘You shan’t have her!’ she cried. ‘Not unless you'can do one more thing.
