STATE AND INDIVIDUAL

In his address on Tuesday afternoon President Nc
Vey pointed out very clearly the two contrasting ideals
which are In conflict in this war, the one that Of the
supremacy OF the state and the subservience Of the in
dividual, the other that Of the greatest possible freedom
Of opportunity for the individual and of the existence Of
the state as a means Of service to the individual.
The former ideal is that which has been set up in
Germany, and toward the realization of that ideal the
whole energy Of the German people has been directed in
so far as a body Of shrewd and ambitious men were able
to guide 1t. The other ideal is that of the real democ-
racies Of the world. 1t Is the ideal of France, Of Great
Britain, with her galaxy Of self governing dependencies.
And 1t Is the ideal Of the United States.
The former is the ideal of autocracy, and naturally
so. Wherever the conception Of the divine right Of
kings prevails there must also prevail the conception
Of the divinely ordained duty of the individual to exist
for the benefit Of the state: and inseparable from this is
the conception expressed by the French monarchy who
declared 1.-The state, it is l." and the familiar attitude
Of the German kaiser. who, on innumerable occasions
has shown that he considers himself at least an equal
partner with the Almighty.
AZ the present German system represents almost
the extreme Of autocracy. so we have often been told
that the doctrine Of Socialism represents the extreme Of
democracy. And yet the political ideals Of autocracy
and Of Socialism are practically identical in that In both
systems the state is elevated into the position Of supreme
importance, while the individual is subordinated, and his
identity becomes lost in that Of the group.
Wherever Socialism has taken a strong hold on the
consciousness of the people We ind that the element Of
individuality tends to disappear. The Socialist doctrine.
whatever the items Of iu program may be, 10 q doctrine
of class consciousness. Of group control, Of individual
subordination. The individual. according to the doctrine
preached. exists for the group, not the group for the de-
yslopment Of the Individuality OF its members. Freedom
OF action q reduced to the minimum. The Socialist ideal

Opportunity for Clubs.
Is there q woman's club in the state
that would like to embroider tho
name Of the state nag for the league
for the Observance Of the fftieth an

war? This question Is confronting
Governor Frazier, who has received a
communication from Charles w. Alex
ander Of Philadelphia, secretary Of
the league to observe the anniversary.
requesting that North Dakota take
part in the Observance.
He states that because Of the presi-
Dental election last year that It was
impossible to hold a proper celebra-
ton, and this year It Is planned to
hold a nationwide celebration in
which every state is urged to take
part. He requested Governor Frazier
to send either a state flag or the Uni

the. state embroidered or painted
across 1T. Also he asked that tho
league be sent.a stuffed eagle.
No action has 50 far been taken in

dealer SEES PUBLIC
STORING UP WHISKY
Sales of Bottled Goods Doubling in
Retail Trade.

Evidence that the public is beginning
to fear that legislation now in process
of enactment by Congress against the
use of grain for the production of
alcohol may result in a whisky famine
is indicated by a statement made yes
terday by an official in charge of one
of the retail stores in Washington OF
a large liquor distillery that his coun-
ter sales last Saturday were double
the normal amount.
Last Saturday we sold 81 ,O07 worth
Of whisky in quart bottles over the
counter to what might be called the
suitcase trade. That is double the
amount we ordinarily sell on a single
day. and is approaching in volume
what would be sold around Christ
mas
Men in the business Of selling booze
are of the opinion that the consuming
public is beginning to hoard liquor
against a future scarcity which would
naturally result in much higher prices.
This is being done. despite the fact
that It is Estimated there is now in
bonded warehouses in this country
upwards Of 100000 gallons OF
whisky.
The new food bill now being debated
one except the farmer to hoard food
for the purpose of exacting higher
prices, but apparently no restriction
is placed on the man who desires to
hoard whisky either for private use
or for future sale.
The new law which went into efrect
July l, prohibits the shipment OF
whisky or other intoxicants into bone
dry states, but does not prohibit any
one from carrying a quart home with
him for his personal use.
Through Joker" discovered in the
Reed amendment to the law, it is
stated that some mail-order liquor
houses of Maryland are sending out
their goods marked for medicinal,
mechanical, scientific or saCramental
use"
Labels. it is stated. appropriately
worded have been prepared by some
of these houses. so that all the prize
drunk" of a bone-dry State has to do
to get his portion of booze is to state
he wants it for mechanical purposes.

WAITING TRIAL, SUFF
PAYS fine FOR Girl
Mrs. Weed Saves Colored Girl from
Jail Term.

A bit Of Joy was brought to one OF
the 152 prisoners who were tried al
the Police Court yesterday along with
the thirteen suffrage women.
While confined in a witness room
awaiting trial, Mrs. Helena Hill Weed
daughter of Representative Ebenezer
, Hill, of Connecticut, was touched by
the pathetic plight of Daisy jackson,
19-year-old negress, charged with
disorderly conduct who was also held
in the room.
Listening to the girls story, Mrs
Weed became convinced that she had
done no great wrong, being merely a
victim of a bad environment.
Shortly afterward, when Judge Null
lowny fined the girl $40, Mrs. Weed
saved the colored girl from term
in the workhouse by paying her fine.

OFFER SUPPORT
To MISS RANKIN
Colleagues VIII Aid in Sift.
ing Bureau Condition
Charges.

The next move of Representative
Jeanette Rankin, in her campaign
to better working conditions for
women employees in the Bureau Of En-
craving and Printing. she declared
last night, will be to ascertain by
what authority Director Ralph has
taken it upon himself to cancel the
annual thirty-day leave Of absence
granted such employees by Congress.
When questioned as to the develop
ment of the day in the matter, Miss
Rankin declared that she had dis
covered. as a result of her investiga-
tion, that Director Ralph had not only
cancelled the regular annual leave OF
employees, but that he was also de-
clining to grant sick leave. such as is
allowed in other government depart
ments in case of necessity.
Leave Granted by Congress.
'1nasmuch as this leave is granted
by Congress and inferentially could
only be denied by action of that body,
am now engaged in trying to find out
by what authority Director Ralph has
cancelled it."
Miss Rankin stated she had received
promises Of support in her campaign
for improvement of conditions at the
Bureau Of Engraving and Printing
from a number of her colleagues in
Congress.
At her Office in the House Building
at the Capitol she is continuing to see
each day persons with knowledge OF
conditions at the bureau. Her present
plan, she stated. was to continue the
investigation until she has verified the
reports made her by individuals and
thus develop all the facts in the case.
Large numbers OF women have call
ed in person and on the telephone,
urging that the whole matter be siftel
to the bottom Miss Rankin declared
1t was her intention to do so.
