} | EDITED BY MRS. M. M. HOLLIS “No great wrong ever yet was righted by the class deriving profit from it, but always by the revolt of the victims.” - ’ LYMAN ABBOT. Orgamze, Says Miss Yegen ‘ Editor Woman’s Page: Money earned by North Dakota resi- dents is drained from them little by little through the actions of state officials and legislators and those back of, and controlling them. These office-holders are the employes of the people of the state and as their employers the people have the right to know just how their employes’ duties are discharged. Herein lies the great work of the “Dakota Daily Leader.” The Nonpartisan Leader has been an able forerunner. It has dared to be truthful about’those in high places. It has dared to be humane in that it recommends practical remedies for evils that have been perpetuated and petted by many state employes. It has dared to be just. In any instance where a political foe has done wisely he has been given credit. In the night school here in Bismarck we have been confronted with illiterates, Dakota reared, also with young people whose education covers only a few months out of the two or three years. When children are denied even ordinary schooling how many mothers will rest content? Again and again have illiter- ates béen accosted by the teachers out- side the school. The Literary Digest stated that there was no illiteracy in the Fiji islands. Can it be that North Dakota has some- thing to learn from cannibals? There are mothers whose hearts are torn by the sight of their little ones trudging to work morning after morning instead of {0 school. What else can be done when there are so many mouths to feed and 50 many little forms to be clad? The state capitol is right here in Bis- . marck. The people who work in the offices are men and women just like our- pelves. They are our employes just as much as the hired man in the fields or the maid in the kitchen. We raise our voices high when these people are waste- ;ful or inefficient. Let us turn some of tlns same careful attention to our servants at the capitol. The “Dakota Daily Leader” will be the - means whereby we can do this and it - they. have: done.": - when’ united. Indmdnally, we can do “riothing. should be supported by every man and woman in the state. The well-lighted cities have much less of crime and immorality. Publicity is the great white light that will reveal the real activity of our public servants. The well-behaved ome will stand unabashed and glad of the light that shows him as he is. The guilty one will flee to a more secluded and less illumin- ated spot. It is up to us women to keep tab on the politics of our state. The subject is a dry one to the unaccustomed mind but it is too vital to neglect. Little by little we can become familiar with the names - of those in public office, their duties and the events of state-wide interest that transpire at the capitol. Just now, there is no better text-book for this study than the Nonpartisan Leader. For the sake of our children let us be diligent students of our own - government. We -should strive to be intelligent supporters of this great move- ment that bids fair to become mation- wide. We can, if we will, keep pace with the men of our state. There is cause for rejoicing when it is considered that Dakota men are the beginners of a move- ment that is likely to attract the atten- ion of the “whole world. - We can get together and organize as We, are strong only Before t;he farmers were orgamzed they were' powerless. Now, they are the . dominant force in North z])ako'ta politics. A’ pretty good " record for’ an organiza- tion less than a year, old. Shall we women get busy and’ -organ- ize? - Shall we work toward the end of securing-the one and only thing that shall fully ‘express us in the political world? We can educate ourselves in politics. ‘We can -think and work for betterment’ in local and state government but with- out the ballot we are helpless. Let us emulate the fearless Nompartisan men. Let us organize. Yours cordially, EMERITA YEGEN. 'Ready for Food Contest? Within two or three weeks the Leader will discontinue the weekly recipe contest and will substitute for it a weeklycontest on food schedules for a complete day. One prize of one dollar will be awarded ‘weekly for the best set of menus for a day. Already the Woman’s Page editor has begun to receive sample menus for this contest. The first one submitted shows excellent Judgment and may be the win- ner of the first prize awarded. The purpose of the Leader in starting tln's bill-of-fare or food schedule contest 18 to promote an exchange of ideas on the best diet for farm homes and possxbly to help some overworked women who in the rush of their work are often at a loss to know what to. cook. The idea is not to get “fancy” menus or a collection of rich and expensive dishes. These are not to be “company” “The people of the United States are the ‘rightful masters of both congress and courts; not to overthrow the constitution, but to- overthrow the men who pervert the constltutlon.****l in- sist that if there is anything which it is the duty of the whole people never to intrust to any hands but their own, that thing is the preservation and perpetulty of their own liberties and institutions.” . days of hotel bills of fare. They are to be wholesome anddesirable food pro- grams for farm homes. We shalt make an’ especial point “of economy and the s1mpler meals are rather more likely to win prizes than the complex meals, if the dishes , are judiciously selected. Wherever an un- usual dish is called for, a recipe for that dish should accompany the menu. Those submitting letters also- should consider the season of the year and the ability to get the foods mentioned on the farm. Contestants may take special limitations into consideration when sub- mitting their letters, if they like. For instance, “A Food Program for the Day When We Can’t get Fresh Meat,” would would be a very good subject. It is the hope of the editor that there will. be a large number of letters sub- mitted in this contest, so that we may _ start the new plan 500D.- ABRAHAM LINCOLN, The little girl’s name is Frances Hooge and she lives at Stirum, N.

MANY WOMEN INJURED Though the experts declare that women : are more careful than men. the number : m::onmu of accidents in English munition factories has not decreased. Many women have lost fingers and even hands and scores have been burned by flying metal. Hun= dreds after the war will bear the scars of wounds received in “the kmg’s service.” Many who were housewives a few months ago have become mechanics .as skilled as the men whom they, replaced. 7 MRS. YOUNG FOR WILSON The western Democratic headquarters has announced that Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, former superintendent of the Chicago city schools, has come out in support of Wilson because Hughes, while governor of New York, vetoed a bill intended to equalize pay as between men and women teachers.
