No two ideals could be farther apart than those of American union labor and those of communism. Union labor secks to better the lot of workers! in a capitalistic society. Communism wants the lot of workers in a capital- istic society to get as bad as it can be; and if it is made so hard that the workers revolt and destroy capitalism and the society and governments based on it, that is precisely what communism would like most, The ultimate relation of organized labor and or ganized capital will be that of partnership and co- operation in mutual respect and for mutual benefit. The relation of communism to capital is that of would-be destroyer to intended victim. It is that now, and it always will be that. Communism has no more effective enemy than’ successful organized labor. Communism knows that. And when communism holds out an open hand to | organized labor, behind its back is a closed fist with a knife in it. | American labor is wise and experienced. It knows cemmunism, and it knows communism’s agents— borers from within whose mission is destruction by stealth. American labor's reply to this invitation of a friend of Russian communism should therefore, be no sur- prise to anybody. And certainly it should be no Labor member of the British parl losses of not on so grand a scale.

Presidents Harding and Coolidge havo striven av impotently, if not so tragically, to keep the hollow forms of leadership in the White House. Harding struggled perhaps only to save his face; Coolidge to save the Constitution. President Harding came from the senate, nominated by a senatorial cabal controlling the Republican national convention of 1920, Partly by way of courtesy, but sometimes after a mild contest, the senate let Harding save his pres- idential face. President Harding allowéd the senate to entrench itself in power. which formed under Harding continued to function under President Coolidge —the agrarian bloc, and , the so-called irreconcilables; one bipartisan, the | other for the most part Republican. When President Coolidge came to the White House the senate broke the entente. By resolution the senate demanded changes in the president's cab- inet. Two members, Denby and Daugherty, left un- der senatorial pressure. The senate then refused to confirm Warren. No other president ever was so cuffed around by the senate--except Andrew Johnson. Unless President Coolidge takes a strong hand, struggled Politics should be eliminated much as possibile in a movement to restore economic soundness to the | state government. North Dakota has experimente? | long enough to demonstrate that the various phases of state ownership are unsound, undesirable from } every viewpoint, illogical as well as egregious fail- ures. Thousands of North Dakotans are heartily sick of ‘the whole business. They aré waiting for an opportunity: to bring the state back to the old con-} stitutional safeguards under which North Dakota made a wonderful growth. se 6 There seems to be no imminent danger that the socialistic program will be enlarged in scope, but as long as the power to plunge the state into debt for business ventures is legally present, settlers and capital will not be as eager to avail themselves of this state’s wonderful resources. ' Plorida for instance has made it attractive’ for capital and settlers. There is no state income tax, and other confiscatory taxes aimed at capital have been repealed or revised: As a result so much new In return for the senatorial kindness, | THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE Heroes Are Often Mere Accidents Vy) qweevansTous \~— | ME RE DREW ALL HIS MONEY Fron Yen, He JusT ( ad oS es j \ TH WORLD SERIES / ~~ (REMEMBER WHEN HIS MOTHER Took IN WASAIN'S, // Pe!

ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON a MISTER DRAKE BUYS A CAR One day Master Drake stopped at the “Twin Garage” and said that he wauld like to speak to Nick on some very important busines: Nick wiped his hands (for he was putting some oil into Mister Wood- chuck’s car, after its bath in the pond the day of the race) and said that he would be pleased to talk to Mister Drake about business or any- thing else. Nick was very polite to customers, although you couldn’t say that Mi ter Drake was a customer exactly. He hadn’t any car at all. So he never came to the filling station for anything except advice. “I want you to go with me to the automobile store,” said Mister Drake to Nick this time. “My wife and I have decided that we would like to have a car, and we've been saving all summer so we could buy one.” “That's just fine,” said Nick, “I'll go right away. Nancy, you look af- ter things ‘here while I’m gone, will ou?” , Nancy said she would, so Nick went to the automobile store with Mister Drake to help him to buy his “I want an automobile that isn’t too expensive,” said Mister Drake to the man at the store. “I only want. to pay about four dollars and a half.” “dere is a nice one for six dollars,’ said the man, “and it is the cheapest T have. It is a lovely car, all yeliow and white and would just match you. Mister Drake.” Mister Drake looked over carefully. ha “Ye is a fine car,” said he, “but it ig too expensive. What makes it so expensive?” . “Just look at all the things there are on it,” said the automobile man. “Lights and horn and—” “The Th “quacked = Mr. Drake. ‘we don’t need lights.

But if you ever need them j come in und Il sell them to you.” Mister Drake paid the money and got into the car and the man showed him how to run it. Then Mister Drake drove proudly home to show the new car to his wife. “Good-bye,” he called to Nick. “I'm very much obliged to you for helping me to buy my car, I'll tell Mrs. Duck all about it and I’m sure that she will be much obliged, too.” “You are welcome,” said Nick, but when he went back he said to Nancy, *[ didn’t say a word, Nancy. He bought the car all by himself. But that is the way people are. They feel better just to have someone along.” Then he told her all about the horn and the lights and about Mister Drake getting the car cheaper by. not having them. After that they almost forgot about Mister Drake and his car. But the next afternoon the little white and yellow car stopped at the “Twin Ga- rage” for gasoline, “How much do you want?" Nick was asking Mister Drake, when sud- denly he caught sight of the brand new horn on the left side of the car. “So you decided to buy the horn after all, did you, Mister Drake?” he said. “I think you were very sen- sible.” “[ had_ to,” whispered Mister Drake. “I caught cold last night and it settled in my voice and I can’t speak. I nearly ran over Grand- daddy Frog, for when I went to quack I couldn't make a sound. If T had run over him, nobody ever would have believed that it was an accident, now would they?” “You're right, Mister Drake, they wouldn't,” agreed Nick. “Two pints of gasoline, did you say?” (To Be Continued) | A THOUGHT {. t AGS CR Better is the poor that. meinen ie uprightness, than he that. is per- verse in his ways, though he: be mo “shea iba Peor_and content is_rich_and fich —
