For 55 years Mrs. O’Leary’s famous cow has been the most celebrated bovine in this country’s history. |. Mrs. O’Leary’s cow, you will recall, was credited; with having started the great Chicago fire in 1871 by the simple expedient of kicking over her mis- | tress’ coal-oil lamp. But recently there have been attacks on the au- thentfity.-of the*story; implications that it is just; another smyth, “a pleasant-sounding fancy, an old- wives’ tale. Writes one man to say that Mrs. O’Legry’s cow} started a fire on a Saturday night, which was put out, the great fire starting late Sunday night in al section far removed from hossy’s shed. Writes an- other to.say that the whole yafn is constructed from applesaud. Luckily Mrs. O’Leary’s notorious animal is dead, for surely, if she were alive she would be unable to with- stand these attacks on her integrity. One can pic- ture the*look of mild reproach in her soft brown eyes as_a demon literalist approaches with docu- mentary evidence and, with accusing finger pointed at her, declares, “You are a fraud.” Under the circumstances, you would hardly ex-| pect thé=gentle creature to produce any milk at all She would pine and languish beneath all this doubt- | Mann..........President and Publisher | 6.00 | of Tinker to Evers to Chance!

The Coward’s Way | Ashamed for his mother to find out that he was a cabaret singer, 23-year-old Gerold Schrage ended | jhis life in New York the other day by turning on | the gas. | Singer, actor, pianist and graduate of a western | university, Schrage brooded constantly over the im- pending visit of his mother from Aberdeen, Wash., and then decided he was a failure. And one is tempted to ask: If he was so ashamed | of his career, why did he not choose another? | | i Many a man before him has courted starvation by hewing straight to the line of his ambition. One wonders whether Schrage ~ could possibly have | thought his mother would rather find him dead than i a singer in a cabaret. Editorial Comment | A Treasury Reflection (St. Paul Dispatch) On- May 31 there was in the state treasury of North Dakota $2,597,275.27 more than on the same j day one year ago, according to the statement issued by the state treasurer on Friday. The cause for | this remarkable increase in the amount on hand is assigned by the treasurer to the prompter payment of taxes and to better payments on farm loans made | by the state through the rural credit bureau. A feature not to be lost sight of in considering the figures is that the official issuing the figures is a member of the Nonpartisan league, the success of hose candidates at the coming‘ primary rests in great measure upon the discontent following con- tinued agricultural depression.

We are growing too literal-minded; the founda- tion shakes beneath the story of the cherry tree and It is obvious, therefore, that the figures are exact | and true and it is equally apparent that if farmers in the payment of taxes and installments on farm loans are able to pay more than two and a half mil- lion dollars over last year’s total at this time, they {must have received the cash from somewhere.

Had there been any intention by the Independ- ents to attack these enterprises their platform would have said so in spe- cific language, Shafer -declared. “Certain lagguage used in our plat- form such as that declarin state should not be in busi- it should never have gone into iness but did so to the extent of millions of dollars and the taxpayers are now footing the bill,’ etc., refer only to instances of the stute operat- ing private business at the expense of the taxpayers or upon the capjtal or credit of the state, like the state mill, Bank of North Dakota, Home Building association and like enter- prises.” i The state twine plant, Shafer said, has been running for 25 years and is operated primarily to furnish oc- cupations for the. men in the peni- tentiary. There are no other twine plants in the state. It has no com- perisee and no private industries are impaired. by it. The labor cost is it to make twine low cost and still pay operating expenses. Poor, sorry old north pole—you are one of the airplanes flying about the north gave their lives to seek it. s-beens, if the state had a penitentiary in connection with each industry to fur- nish free labor we might be able to make ghem self supporting. If we had no penitentiary no one would seriously advocate establishing a state-owned plant at the expense or | upon the credit of the taxpayers as a commercial proposition.” The state bonding fund was estab- lished in 1915 under the Hanna ad- ministration and does no private business whatever, the speaker said. Its function is to bond employes of the state and its political subdi- visions. The state fire and tornado fund has a similar, status, he ex- plained, insuring only public build- lings. In neither ‘fund does the state assume any risk of incurring debt and there is no liability of the tax- Payers of their risks with old-line insurance companies. The hail insurance fund, Shafer said, is not operated on state credit or capital but upon a s jereated each year from jnity charges assessed | against persons who {crops with the fund. It is like a state-wide mutual hail insurance com- pany in which the members whd take out insurance subject themselves to assessments to pay the hail losses for each year.” if any changes are made in any of the departments mentioned it will be beea Public opinion of the state or the needs of the departments re. quire it, not because they are volved as political Shafer id FORGET IT “I can't remember the words of that new song.” “That makes it easier. jhe remarked.
