Park and d~enounce the government to
his hearts content and not a police
mans club swings down upon his
head. The authorities figured that
this liberty would serve as a safety
valve and give people an opportunity
to blow off their surplus energy and
thus prevent it escaping in a more
damaging manner It is the better
policy to allow people to have their
own way once in awhile. If given
free rein they are not going, to rush
headlong very far. If held in res
traint, however, when the barrier
breaks they may go further than they
themselves intend to.
= If the last legislature, for example,
had given the people a nice little ter
minal elevator, there doubtless would
never have been a Nonpartisan League
the political affairs of the state
would still be going on in compare
tive tranquility, the people would
have been perfectly willing to wait
six years for a constitutional amend
ment and house bill "A would new
have been heard of. But reactionary
prejudice and subservience to past
customs, forms or something more
substantial, constrained the legisla-
ture from granting this mild re-
quest. In other words they turned
down the safety valve a notch. That
resulted in a political uprising, the
like of which has never been known
in this country. This time, a small
handful, who were back in the senate
only by virtue of having escaped go
ing before the people at the last cleo
ton, actually sat on the safety valve.
If the boiler blows up they will have
no one to blame but themselves.
Fight Will Continue.
There will be NO abatement in the
enthusiasm of the members OF the
Nonpartisan League. They, too,
have tasted victory. They, too, have
seen what they can do. That they
will repeat the job with a two-foid
thoroughness there is no room for
doubt. That another election will see
more reactionary heads fall into the
basket there is no question. That
other states will be inspired to follow
the example Of North Dakota there is
not the least possibility of a doubt.
Fortunate is the man who lives in
this day and time, for the near future
holds in store some interesting events.
Let the curtain go up on the next
act.
