ND it came to pass that as Ole Johnson grew in years and worked hard and saved and had some luck, and especially the co-operation of many neighbor farmers, he increased in werldly possessions to such a point that the local business men spoke of him as a well-to-do farmer. But like many a man in similar circumstances he imagined that he had been a Rob- inson Crusoe, or as the jolly-up writ- ers put it, a “self-made man.” He even went so far as tog@dmomsh the youths, pretendmg to gLaw from his own experience, with sermonettes on his Tavorite text; “The/winner is he who can go it alone 4 What Ole had to say, therefore, “when neighbors started a co-operative creamery and later a stock shipping association may be easily imagined. One néed not be surprised to learn al- so that- when a Nonpartisan league organizer with several neighbors ap- peared, he speedily ordered them off the place lest he might in a moment of weakness part with $16 and, what was more important, break his “rule” of success about “going it alone.” Nor need one be surprised that these determined neighbors, who had seen the light on special interest rule, would fail to co-operate in “getting” Johnson. Fortunately they did’not have long to wait. . The next day the self-made and en- tirely independent man discovered that the weather was fine—splendid weather, in fact, for threshing his 200 acres of wheat in shock; so he called up Oscar Nelson to get two of Nel- son’s boys and a couple of teamsi: “Nothing doing,” was the reply, “thought you didn’t believe in co-oper- ation,” and Johrison heard the other receiver strike the hook. “More ‘of Nelson’s fool notions,” he thought as he rang up another. But he got the same kind of answer from - the second and from the third. When he called the fourth farmer, he asked . hurriedly:- “Where can I find that League orgamizer, quick ?” for the simple truth had finally gotten into a very stiff-necked head. He had been depending on his neighbors for years and could not have succeeded without them and he felt like the fa- mous ass who_had been unable to see the woods for the trees. The next day his threshing started with the aid of very willing neigh- bors, and from that time Ole Johnson was ameng the strongest League boosters, for, as the business man puts it, “he had been well sold.” By which phrase they mean that the buyer is so convinced that he has gotten the right thing that he brags about it and would stake his life on it if necessary. Truly, it is a great.thing for a man ' to discover that he-lives in society and not on a quarter section. Praise for Governor Frazier ; Progressive Magazine Thinks North Dakota Executive Has Spirit Needed by Times (From the Nation) We are happy to learn that there is one public official in the United ® States who has some conception of how to deal with the prevailing un- rest. His unusual perspicacity may be due to the fact that he makes a living by fa¥ming, not politics. In any case, we are glad to hear a sen- ‘sible word from any one in responsible public position. Governor Lynn J. Frazier of North Dakota, in accept- ing appointment to the board of gov- ernors for a nation-wide campaign against anarchy, writes thus: “I have your telegram notifying me that I have been appointed on the board of governors for a nation-wide campaign to be launched against ev- ery manifestation of anarchy and to safeg'uard American liberties, Amer- ican labor, American homes, and American schools, and wish to assure you that I am in hearty sympathy with the- announced aims'of your organ- ization. Here in North Dakota we be- lieve the best protection against revo- Iution -is to assist rather than retard evolution, and in this state it is the intention of the administration to re- move discontent and prevent disorder by remedying the legitimate economic complaints of the people instead of trying to stamp out just: grievances. As a consequence we have a contented citizenry in North Dakota, which be- lieves in upholding our government and achieving political progress by or- derly and = constitutional metheds. * Personally, I feel that bolshewsm is not the only peril to this country. In my opinion, the spirit of bourbonism is even more threatening to the security of our institutions, for, scanning back through history, it seems to me that bourbonism always precedes and is the cause of bolshe- vism.” Governor Frazier promises to be an PAGE TWENTY interesting member of this particular board of governors. A suggestive contrast with Gover- nor Frazier’s program is offered in the message of that temporary hero of those who have and hold, Mayor Hanson of Seattle, who writes to the trust company section of the Ameri- can Bankers’ association, meetmg at the Waldorf-Astoria: SLOW REFORM - VS. RAPID EVENTS “Your duty and my duty and the duty of every patriotic American citi- zen is first, to stop the_influx of an- - tagonistic aliens; second, to demand the passage of a law whereby the aliens now in this country are com- pelled to register their addresses and re-register with each change of ad- dress; third, to enact national laws making the I W. W. and kindred or- gamzatlons outlaws; fourth, to en- 5 courage in every manner possible pub- lic work of all kmds in city, state and nation.” Mayor Hanson is not for standing still, however: “Condltlons and times are rapidly changing. We must recognize these changes and prepare for them, * * * ° Let us uphold our government, its ~Constitution and its ideals, but let us_ march forward a little each day.” Let us march forward a little—but not too much. But what does Mayor Hanson propose if events refuse to keep step with our measured tread, and insist on rushmg along in ad- . vance? This promxses to be a pretty ‘uncertain world in the years just ahead of us, and unless we have read history in vain, Governor Frazier’s spirit and method not only accord bet- “ter with "American tradition,” but proxmse more for the things Amer- icans hold dear than do the 1deas ‘of his Seattle contemporary S
