A FALLEN IDOL

The name of La Toilette has been one to couture
with in North Dakota. The man impressed the people OF
and forceffulness were undeniable. And who shall say
what strange mixture of motives governed him? Who
knows at what stage the Hyde of personal ambition sub
ordinated the Jekyl of public service? The inner
thoughts of the man must remain secret.
But the popularity Of La Toilette, which was almost
unanimous in North Dakota at one time, tagged. The
ambition of the man became more evident and his ar.
rogance and intolerance became more pronounced. He
thought the presidency was Just within his grasp, and
his anger at being thwarted drove him into an attitude
of childish petulance and his tongue became a stranger
to everything but complaint and denunciation. Whatever
was, was wrong, because everything seemed togoppose
the pet ambitions of La Toilette.
Still in North Dakota he had his following, and ii
was a considerable one. fractional quarrels in the state
contributed to the perpetuationi Of the La Toilette idola-
try and around him there grew a sort of myth which
,bade fair to transmit his name to future generations of
North Dakotans, at least, as that of the super-statesman
and patriot who was denied the place of honor to which
he was entitled by the Vaccinations of the rich and
favored Of the earth.
Today LaFollette is a fallen idol, repudiated by his
former worshippers.
1t remains to be seen what will be the attitude OF
the late real admirers of La Toilette, for his reputation
has been pronounced, not by the masses of those who
honored him, but by the factiona1 leaders who sought
to capitalize his popularity. Townley, the Townley organ
and Townleys henchmen, of course, had no use for La
Toilette expects as an instrument. The instrument prov
ing dangerous to use they have thrown it away. But
the people who have admired and trusted La Toilette
and followed Townley are In a perplexing situation. If
they continue to follow the lead of Townley thew must
repudiate La Toilette as Townley has done. What, then,
will be their attitude toward Townley, whose sentiments,
expressed on many a platform, have been in perfect har-
mony with those for which Townley is now thrown
over? And If they still stand by LaFollette, despite his
seditious utterances, what will be their attitude toward
Townley, whose personal organ has taken pains to
repudiate him?
So far as La Toilette himself is concerned, the case
just now is rather simple. He has exploded. his own
bubble by his own breath.

though they were handicapped for a
time because Of lack of supplies, their
institutions soon ranked among the
best, for while the units were mex
pertenced in war work, they were
highly trained in hospital service.
Roughly speaking, the six base
hospitals conducted by the Americans
have beds for about 5000 patients
each, and there are many times when
they are filled to o~verflowing. For
base hospitals must care, not only for
their W wounded. but for Germans
as we'll. The six base hospitals have,
in addition to their other work. fur
nished some ten surgical teams for
service in casualty clearing stations
near the firing line. These teams u.s.
ually consist Of a surgeon, an assist

them majors over there-all have
been or are at present working night
and day in casualty clearing stations
which have been caring for the
wounded from the last great offensive,
German Airmen Endanger Them.
These surgical teams have had one
characteristic experience. Their
work is hampered and their lives are
endangered by German airmen who
persist in hurting high explosives
down among them. In one of the lat
est raids the German ayiators killed
or wounded many OF their own men
who were prisoners being cared for In
n OF these hospitals.
All the American doctors and
nurses appear to be enjoying their
work thoroughly and they are keep
ing remarkably fit. Some of the
American nurses had a difficult time
at first because of the fact that they.
we're not permitted to bring their
aides with them. The British. how
ever have furnished onae helpers,
from the voluntary aid detachment
and their services have been inya1u-

fully received, although 1t must be
admitted that some chagrin has been
expressed by the Americans because
they had to call for help to run their
own hospitals when there were plenty
assistants available In the United
States.

Now, What Have You
To Say, MIR. Townley
(From Minneapolis .Journal1

CFrom Minneapolis Journal.)
n prices Of steel products were
liked by the government at from forty
10 seventy per cent under ruling quo
tations. It was provided also that
there should be no reduction in wages
and that prices fixed should be given
70 all alike-the government, our. al
lies and the public.
n announcement must be a stun
ning disappointment to the Townley
school of applied oratory. The head
OF the N~onpartisan league was full of
dismal forebodings last week. The
farmer, he declared, had been shame-
fully treated. when the price of wheat
was fixed at two-twenty. Yet the ex-
perts on farm costs pretty generally
agree that there Is a fair profit for
the average farmer on this basis. But
the burden Of MI. Townley's plant
was mat the price of wheat had been
reduced, n nothing had been done,
or would be done, to other prices. He
protested a perfervid patriotism in
one breath, and in the next raped
at the government over the shoulders
of the war profteers."
But, as Senator Borah later assured
the conference, the government has no
intention of stopping with wheat. Mr..
Hoover himself has declared that the
plan is to fix the prices Of about a
dozen of the most essential commodi-
ties. The steel price fxation is an i'm
portant item in the program. It re-
Veals the baselessness of much of the
oratory dispensed at st. Paul last
week.
In this connection. 1t is significant
that Judge Gilbert H. Gary, president
OF the American Iron and Steel Insti-
tute, has issued a statement in which
he says that the prices fixed, while
much lower than the prevailing mar
Ket prices and considerably below the
expectations Of the manufacturers. vet
on the whole, taking everything into
consideration, are fair and reason
abba" -"
The league leaders have done their
best to persuade the wheat farmer
that he was to be the victim of gov
ornamental discrimination. A little pa
thence will demonstrate that the pur-
pose and plan is to bring down the
price levels Of all necessaries, SO far
as Is practicable.

At the dinner of the American Bar

confession OF faith in his adopted

particular truth and necessity in
these:
I and millions Of others like me
came to this country alone and
without friends, We sponged on
all that America had, her free

all, her spirit Of open-hearted
comradeship. She owed us moth

for loyalty. Ours is a govern

Born here or elsewhere, we owe Amer
