North Dakota’s Choice One state has TRUTHFULLY recorded its preference for president of the United States. Phat state is North Dakota gressive North Dakota La Follette is named its choice by a great m velt was a bad second in the balloting and, as a news dispatch expressed it, “Taft's vote was neglible’—it was not THERE This first state-wide presidential primary will be remem bered by history, as well as of course having a far reaching influence in the present presidential campaign It’s the first real chance the people have had to influence the nomination of a presidential candidate y La Follette’s victory is deeply significant. A few weeks ago party and faction leaders solemnly and very sadly nounced that “Battle Bob” was laid on the shelf, because, for sooth, he was physically unable to stand the strain of leader ship. oe! ak for the ¢ lusty, rough and ready, pro jority. Roose an Since then the progressive leader has evidently recovered his health. has taken up his fight again, almost alone as far as lieutenants are concerned, and has won “first blood” in the dramatic political struggle. nd North Dakota woke up this morning to find herself famous Canned Farms and Babies The latest way to “farm” is to stay in Chicago or some other congested center and confide your money to a corporation that buys large areas in the Far West and does the business with machinery and hired hands, while you “enjoy the great profits without toil or discomfort.” Wonder how it will work! Our observation is that there are two things that require the personal attention of their best friends, Those two things fre a farm and a baby. Theoretically, you can demonstrate that it is better to leave the care of the farm to trained managers, and better to entrust the baby to educational and hygienic experts. Practically, you lose your farm and your baby, because you cannot delegate the cultivation of soil or sduls to alien hands There's a spiritual factor in the equation that you overlook We are putting up with a large variety of canned things in these days, but let's try not to have canned farms or canned babies. [Pessimism in Paris | Here's a French philosopher, Prof. Gauthier, has got Paris all riled up over the proposition that human beings haven't as much sense as animals about eating. He says he has tried feed- ing dogs on canned and preserved goods extensively consumed in the homes of France, with the result that the poor things didn’t live out half their days. And what say the Parisians? Why. that they have been preached to so much about not knowing how to sleep, and how to walk, and how to breathe, and how to dress, and, finally, how to cat, that they are “becom- ing discouraged.” Weil, if Paris doesn’t know how to dress, she is surely re- Sponsible for leading the rest of the world astray, and if Paris doesn't know how to eat, somebody owes us the price of a good many French dinners that we've been induced to consume under false pretenses Is it possible that Paris is right and the professor wrong? We hope so. Property and Folks New York drug dealer the other day was sent to prison for four months for having counterfeited a trade-mark for liver pills. That was an offense against property. How many jail sentences have been handed out for violation of the federal food and drug act designed to protect the public from drug fakers and crooked dealers? The Journal of the ‘American Medical Association is authority for the assertion that, although more than 1,700 persons or firms have been con- victed under that act, nothing worse than a fine has been im- posed. The manufacturer of a “tonic” containing cocaine was convicted the other day, but the wise court suspended sentence! ‘Trying to steal a paper-and-ink trade-mark was “terrible,” but making drug fiends out of innocent people was no crime. And that is law. Neither Riches Nor Poverty We hear a good deal about big farms these days, but there are a few small ones which have sustained quite a number of people. For instance: In England the number of farms ranging from one to five acres is 87,055; in France the number less than 2.47 acres, 2,235,405 ; in Germany, number less than 2.47 acres, 2,529,132. The people on these little farms have realized the answer to Solomon's prayer—they have neither riches nor poverty. New political era, in which public health will be the im- portant issue, predicted by President Craighead of Tulane uni- versity. Two-thirds of the railroad cars now built in the United States are steel. Kansas may be a “dry” state, but she’s boring 5,000 wells for irrigation purposes, just the same, and they will wet up 40 to 60 acres each.
