But if they speak as experts on what is good for the soul of one who sings or hears hymns, then they are merely expressing an opinion with which the vast majority of men and women doubtless will feel free to differ. Any tune that sticks in the mind a bad tune! When the Titanic sank beneath the North At- lantic waves, the ship’s orchestra was playing Nearer, My God, to Thee, and doomed sailors and passengers were singing the words. And neither orchestra nor singers needed sheet music for this, perhaps the most ;foul-sripping instance of*hymn-singing in all history. They did not need sheet music, because the air of this glorious old hymn stuck in their minds, 0) just as it had stuck in their minds ever since eves “a the days when they lisped their “Now I Lay Me’s” at their mothers’ knees.

Too much emphasis has been placed up- on the powers of executive officials to carry out programs, political or legislative. It may be wise campaign strategy to rant about the ; threat of socialism and hold out to the voters that a League regime means greater state in- « dustrialism and an Independent-regime means = less, but this is not borne out by the facts. - Whichever faction wins, the industries are go- *, ing to continue. It remains then for the voters, « if they honestly want to abolish the mill, eleva- = tor’and state bank, to seck out legislative can- + didates pledged to such a program. It is time that North Dakota had one cam- 2 paign that was honest and straightforward © with the voters. They might at least be told how the operation can be performed. Surface » indications show that the same old hokum is to be to the voters of the state except that the Independents frankly tell the voters that if they:control the next administration ¢ they are gping to let the Nonpartisans continue, * to run the state mill and elevator. How does this campaign pledge square with the remarks made recently at Fargo by At- ~ torney General Shafer? Is it inflation or de- » fiation? a eee este nye gEd2e gs © oe sé Peas >> SEE The Jazz Mutiny It is to be hoped that the ghosts of the tarry- ‘ handed old British sailors of Nelson’s day have ». not heard about the recent “mutiny,” or what- ever it was, on the British warship Royal Oak. - This affair developed, according to dis- : patches, when the captain refused to allow a band to play aboard ship. itish naval vessels saw mutinies occasion- in the old days—but never over anything that.

If Dr. Stockmann of “An Enemy of the People” was right in as- serting that a majority is always wrong, the proceedings at the Norwegian capitgl would be no tribute to Ibsen’s real worth; the par- ticipants in the festival were much more than a majority of his countrymen. But even the Stockmanns do not deny that in the long run a majority can be won over to the truth. It is, in fact, by appealing to future majorities that a strong man finds the ability to stand alohe. Of such reversals of the popular judg- ment it is the customary thing to say that the majority has caught up with the pioneers, the many have been converted by the one. This is in large measure true. But it is also true that the reconciliation is ore of the heart as well as of the head. ‘Time softens bitter mem- ories and heals wounds, and leaves behind the rebel’s achievements. Ibsen was a trying son to Norway in his earlier artistic years. What is remembered now is that he was a@ son. The three Scandinavian countries have been peculiarly blessed with gifted children who began by being a t trial and ended up as a glory to the family. Ibsen in Norway, Georg Brandes in Denmark and somewhat less em- phatically, Strindberg in ‘Sweden were rebels in the home. They had to seek recognition under foreign skies before becoming reconciled with their own people. Jt may be that even such potent rebels were not immune to the softening influence of success. Having won a European audience they were in the mood to view things a bit more generously in the na- tive scene. And the home folks, it goes with- out saying, always stand ready to recagnize unsuspected merit in the boy who has gone out into the world and “made good.” Norway and Denmark together havé'a little:more than 1 per cent of Europe's population;. yet the two have produced in Ibsen and. Brandes the great. est playwright of the nineteenth century and the greatest critic of the second half-of the century. ‘ It is the fate, though by no means a tragic fate, of such rebels against the established conventions and values that they should be-| ing come powerful advertising agents for their na- tive lands. The higher statistics would have no difficulty in proving that Ibsen and Brandes rendered service of a very considerable money value to their countries. But the chief serv- ice is in their affirmation of the national genius. There have been great or notable writers who have never been wholly accepted by their countrymen-—Heine and Zola and, to some extent, Thomas Hardy. In the case of, Ibsen his countrymen were long ago brought to take him for one of their own. The Restless American (By Bruce Catton)~ If you were asked to pick one word that would characterize modern Americans, what word would you pick? J. D. Mooney, president of a large eastern company, says that the first thing he notices when he returns to this country from abroad “is the restlessness that I see all about me.” And perhaps that one word—“reatlessness”— is about as apt a word as you could choose. At the close of the Revolution, the American colonists, with restless haste, began to swarm over the back country behind the Alleghenies. They roamed deep into the forests, founded new cities, dug canals, sent steamers and barges up and down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, and in a generation had hewed out a new empire. i They had not finished before the Louisiana purchase abruptly extended their horizon a couple of thousand miles farther west. Again the restless urge seized them and they were ‘ft. The great plains were settled and cleared of savage encapies. A war was fought with Mexico, and the great empire of California and the southwest passed into American hands. When the expansion of territory ‘ceased, the restless ones found new outlets for their ener- gies in industrial expansion. All over the land mills began to shoot their black smoke toward the sky. New railroads were built, new-mines were dug, new industries founded; there was = h| avoided, Good: shor ‘a sickly smell,'or be wet and flabby.
