Townley, one-time political wizard, is touring North Dakota mak- ing speeches on the prevailing eco- nomic situation, telling in burning phrases the obvious injustices to’ which we have become heir. There is no justification, he says, in people going without shoes where there are the materials and facilities for producing so many; no good rea- son why everyone should not have clothes, plenty to eat and many of the luxuries as well as the necessities of life. : In this, many who do not ordinarily think with Townley will agree with him. The situation is one against which many persons have long di- rected their influence. America is united on the point. But, unlike many who point to the ills which beset us, Townley has no suggestions to offer other than social- ization of both industry and agricul- ture and he isn’t quite sure how that should be done. In his role of self-appointed eco- nomic physician he is sure as to sym- Ptoms, uncertain about the cure. ee % Despite this rather obvious short- coming in the Townley philosophy, however, those to whom his theories’ always have been anathema would do well to give them heed. They may point the way for the next step in what, for want of a better name, we are pleased to call progress. For, unless adjustments in the capitalistic system are successfully made we cer- tainly are due for a trial at social- ism, an experiment so much more radical than the things now being done that there is no comparison. That business generally has sensed this fact is proved by the tremendous response to the NRA program.

At first blush the proposal has merit, but upon careful analysis it. loses much of its appeal. What Gov- ernor Langer really is proposing is to Hooverize the farmer all over again. It is doubtful if agriculture could stand such a process to be repeated so soon. For fixed prices were one of the remedies of the Hoover farm board. They were a device used to defraud the farmer during the war. There is no escaping the fact that fixed minimum prices on farm products always have been the maximum prices when the trend was upward and have failed to last when the tendency was down. No matter who advocates it, there is grave doubt that another attempt to apply the Hoover philosophy would be beneficial. What the farmer needs is not fix- ed prices but fair prices. There is no question about the benefits of the devices now being applied to as- sist agriculture; little argument about the probable continued need for leadership in a disunited indus- try. But fixed prices constitute an eco- nomic shoal which has shattered too ‘many ships, crumpled too many hopes. They are something to be approach- ed warily, if at all, no matter how pleasing the prospect may be made to seem. Gen.

Hugh 8. Johnson’s admirable achievements was his recent action in putting a snooty hotel clerk in his place. General Johnson stopped over- night at Dayton, O.,, and through some mischance his baggage went astray. A newspaper reporter accom- panied General Johnson to a hotel and established his identity for the benefit of the night clerk. But the clerk, noting the absence of baggage, informed General Johnson that in spite of his exalted position he could not get @ room without paying in advance. Business was business and tules were rules—and, one supposes, @ hotel clerk’s majesty was a hotel clerk's majesty. and occupies the pulpit today, friends: Dear Dr. Brady: I wish to take exception to your rather one-sided views on the sub- ject of the suitor’s health certificate. Contrary to your belief, I believe it is high time that the male of the species be given an equal break, and both sexes be held equally responsible for their own moral delinquencies, for the benefit of better moral standards. As I see it, and no doubt untold other men, the present “accepted” theory of laying the blame only at the man’s door is out of date, if it ever was just and proper. Your cor- respondent A. A. P. is perfectly right if he assumes the bride should have to undergo a thoro physical examin- ation just as well as the bridegroom. Is she not mother of the children to come? No responsible woman should shirk the duty to establish her fitness for married life and motherhood. The decent woman need have no fear of ‘one, not even those most glib about. it, really wants socialism in this country. Nearly everyone would pre- fer giving it a trial to the alternative of going cold, hungry or shelterless. ‘This ever-present fact forms an important part of the background of the NRA. It lends undoubted im- petus to the movement, inspires sup- port in high places. It is just an- other reason why it must not be per- mitted to fail, © Voice of the People Backs Roosevelt A man who is looking for straws to show which way the wind is blowing could do a lot worse than to study those stories about the thou- sands of letters President Roosevelt, is receiving commending him for the NRA campaign, These letters, mostly, are from peo- Ple who don’t ordinarily sit down to write to the president. Some of them are misspelled, some of them are mere scrawls on bits of wrapping paper with stub pencils, some of them are formally typewritten and some are on scented paper. There is no uniformity. They come from everywhere and everybody, But they all agree in one thing; each is an effort by a deeply-moved Amert- can citizen to tell the president that the blue eagle campaign is crossing the land like a strong, refreshing wind, and each is a heart-felt pledge of support, And the influx of these letters is possibly the most important single symptom to be found in all the land today. These letters, that is to say, show hhow deeply responsive the American People are to this stupendous, com- Plex and puzzling campaign against the depression. For the letters are not being writ- ten by cranks or freaks. They are coming from ordinary people, men and women who do not usually dream of sending letters to the white house. ‘The plain people of the country, who go voiceless year in and year out, are taking the trouble to speak their minds. Not once in two or three genera- tions do the American people really become aroused.

A man owes some loyalty to his own sex, even tho it profits him with the other sex to take the chivalrous attitude. There is not and has not been for at least fifteen years a “double standard.” Our “high culture,” or standards of life and modern theories, the lack of op- portunity to mate early in life and establish a home, are responsible for the rather loose and lowered moral standards of the day. In other words, human blood has not turned white, neither in man nor in woman, and if moral conditions are not ideal, they indicate a revolt against repression of normal sex life and the handicaps of modern exist- ence.

What About the Schools? (Williams County Farmers Press) How serious the problem of keeping the common schools of the state open would be the best compass for chart- ing the course to be taken. In declar- ing @ special election, Governor Lan- ger states that the sales tax is a necessary assistance. If the situation is such that any material portion of the common schools of the state are to be closed for lack of finance, perhaps there is another solution which the governor nimself has suggested. Rather than see any major portion closed, all the normal schools, the agricultural col- lege and the university should be shut It is up tight and the money diverted to a better cause. If the situation is serious enough to weigh the value of the elementary school against the higher institution, the answer is obvious—dispense with the colleges and normals. The vajue of these factories to turn out hundreds of teachers in a badly oversupplied state always has been doubtful. In his pre-election addresses at Williston, the governor reiterated he would close all of these higher insti- tutions if necessary to save the com- mon schools. That is a matter of common sense. He should have no hesitancy whatsoever to take that action. . The little red school house is the the most impressive exposition of the question I have heard, and I have heard a good many. The very first health talk I gave in this column, be- fore some of our most esteemed read- ers were born, was a plea to the par- ent or guardian to withhold approval of an engagement of the young wom- an until the suitor has presented his health certificate, and’a suggestion to the young man to obtain and offer his certificates to the parent or guardian when he seeks such consent or ap- Pproval. My observation is that parents and guardians generally shirk their duty in this, as in other things pertaining to the happiness of children. Perhaps, after all, the problent of providing a keystone of American education. It | Certificate of fitness for ts is a duty of state to keep it open to the coming generations. Where fur- ther education is desired, there are Plenty of other states where a student may attend a school, with slight in- crease in the cost, if any. At Fargo, the school superintendent made the statement that the sales tax would be of no assistance to the schools of the state, since the revenue would come too late to meet the emergency. That being true, and an emergency existing, it is time to think of direct action. The hundreds of thousands of dollars going to these advanced teaching centers would go a jong way toward keeping country schools and high schools functioning. best left to the mutual consideration @ size and strength such as America has employed only three or four times in all her history.

It was Aunt Pamela who suggested that Pat marry wealth, warning that “the glamour of love wears off”. Pamela spoke from experience; her own marriage young lawyer, was bec Jimmie, furious at Pat’s engage- ment, awakens to the realization that he, himself, cares for her. Pat, with youth’s optimism, hopes in vain that the young camper whom she only knows as “Jack”, and saw only once, will rescue her from Blaine. Jimmie finds her in the gar- den, sobbing. He takes her in his arms and, in despair and hungry for love, she permits him to kiss her. Next day Pat breaks her en- gagement. Pamela is suspicious when, immediately following Pat's broken engagement, Jimmie offers to loan Pat money to study art. Pat’s father declines Jimmie’s of- fer, saying his insurance (which he would not touch for himself but felt justified in using for his daughter's career) was adequate for her needs. He plans to take Pat to Paris. One minute Patricia feels she cannot leave Jimmie, and, the next, she loathes him for the kiss experience of the previous night. Then Jack arrives. Pat thinks—if he had only come yesterday, for, today, he is too late and it is Jimmie she wants. Jack explains he stayed away be- cause her “good-bye” seemed se final.

At the entrance of the hotel grounds he stopped, and taking her arm, turned back to face the sea. Behind them the dark quiet gar- dens; before them an infinitude of light.

A boy took the hat and Patricia’s heart lost a beat as Jack's dark and smiling face was revealed. “Even if I hadn’t already heard an urgent call back to civiliza- tion,” he called to her, his eyes shining, “the elements would have forced me, But I had packed last’ night anyway. Wait here for me,” he added, following the bellboy past her, “I’ll be right down, soon as I get in some dry togs.” She watched him leaning over the desk, saw the puzzled expression of the clerk’s face, his quick glance at the register, and recognition for a handsome young man.” “A new man? Have we seen him ?, When did he arrive? Where’s he from? How’d you meet him?” “You boys go on to your date ‘with the bellboy,” Ida said, her slinky figure straightening, “We'll stay and help Pat keep hers.” Arthur was frowning darkly. He didn’t want to go.
