"NoT INTERESTED I'M PoLITIcs0.

~ am not interested in political scraps
is boast heard less frequently now than
few years ago, but it is far from being
uncommon yet.
One type Of business man rather plumes
himself on being above mere questions Of
politics, and not having time for such mat
ters. He announces the fact as showing
that his private business interests are too
weighty to permit the wasting Of much
time upon mere elections.
He doesnt feel that it is any disgrace to
be totally ignorant of public affairs-quite
the contrary,
But such men gradually are awakening
to the fact that public affairs and private
interests are becoming so closely eorrelat-
ed that it is impossible to consider them
apart from each other,
The man who "isn't interested in poll
ics' these days will soon be admitting that
he isn't interested in the welfare Of his
own business. Any man in North Dakota
who isn't interested in politics" had bet
ter become interested as soon as possible
and prepare to give public affairs; state
and national the closest and most ntelli-
gent study.

EQUAL OPPORTUNITY"

Socialism should not equality Of
Of wealth, but equality Of opportunity.
Heartbroken at the disintegration of his
beloved Russia, Maxim Korky is reported
to have died the other day of cholera, To-
day he is reported as being under arrest,
but the foregoing were quoted as his last
words, when his premature demise oc-
Cured.
In these days when everything from
public ownership of public utilities to COM
plete anarchy is labeled Socialism, - there
are few who cannot qualify as Socialists
under one Of the numerous definitions.
Being a. member Of the American Socialist
party is a different matter. No man can
be that and be an American, while the in
famous st. Louis platform adopted year
ago is still adhered to.
But under the broad definition given by
Gorky, most of us could qualify as Social
lists.
Equality of opportunity" for all men
is an attractive thought. It was the idea
firmly fixed in the minds of the men who
drew the constitution of the United
States
Under Gorky's definition the trainers Of
the constitution might have been called
Socialists, but the Bolsheviki with their
theories Of class distinctions and the rule
Of the proletariat would be traitors to the
cause Of universal brotherhood.

MAKE THE RECORD NOW.

Minnesota's state public safety commits
sion, at the suggestion of Governor Burn
jquist, will attempt to preserve the records
4 of all Minnesota men in the service Of
Uncle Sam.
Efforts will be made to procure COM
tplete records Of the enlistment and dis
charge dates of each man in the service,
and of the engagements in which he par
ticipates.
The plan is one that should be followed
in North Dakota.
The Forum, so far as we know, is the
only agency which has attempted this
work or any part Of it. The Forum Roll
of Honor gives the names only Of the men
who have met their deaths while in the
service of the nation. We believe this
record is approximately complete. tt was
undertaken because The Forum felt that
the time to compile this record was now
when the casualties are being reported.
Five years from now, 10 years from now,
20 years from now, we will want to have a
complete record of the men from North
Dakota who took part in this war. We
viii want to have their records available,
both those who returned and those who
didn't. The Forum proposes to continue
ITS Roll Of Honor while the war lasts, but
1T would like TO see some state agency take
up The work, give it official recognition
sd augment The lisf With the record Of the
man who 90 and survive.

A Seventh Color Exists

But Only One in 500 Persons Can Distinguish
Rene Bache in The Philadelphia Public Ledger.
The six colors of the rainbow-red orange
yellow, green, blue and violet-are familiar
enough but DR.. George L. Collins Of the Public
Health service says that one person in 500 Is
able to distinguish seventh color. 49,.
Unfortunately. those who are able to see tins

asmuch as there are no terms for it in Language.
So far as it is concerned, nearly everybody Is
color blind. -
far common than most people suppose OF
every - average men that you meet, one Is more
or less defective. in this respect -.
How about the women? CUriously enough,
with them the defect Is relatively rare Color
blindness affliets only one woman in 49,
Not Defect of The Eye
The fault (where it exists has to do with
the 'coIor perceiying center" in the brain, It ia
not a defect of the eye, properly speaking In
some persons, apparently, this center Is tmpeF'
Eectly developed.
There are various degrees Of color blindness
be able to distinguish only five colors and
through all his or her life may be wholly un-
aware Of the defect. Another sees but four
colors, yet another only three, and there are not
a few persons who recognize Two colors only.
But there are cases where the whole rainbow,
or spectrum" Of a sunbeam, passed through
sent the extreme of color blindness.
Now and then one observes q woman who ex-
hibits the most surprising lack Of taste in the
color schemes of her apparel. She delights in
putting blues and green together, and otherwise
violates persistently the rules OF harmony In
such matters. She never dreams, and ii does
not occur to her friends To realize, that she Is
color blind
The "Mlaens" Golors,
To the person who can distinguish but five
colors orange does not exist
TO the person who can distinguish only four
colors, there Ss no orange or blue.
To the person who recognizes only three COLI
ors, none but red, green and violet is percepti-
BILE.
The twovcolor defeotivs saes only dark yellow
and blue. 10 him, blue and violet are both blue:
and red, orange. yellow and green are all dark

Generally speaking, the completely color blind
person calls coIors alike that are seen by the

PoRChEs,

POHGF7 ESP
Most homes are equipped with
porches, yet there are many house,
wives who have not yet learned that
much of their work can be done in
the open air, The wider use Of the
porches would be Of distinct health
advantage now that the open air
season Is here.
Sitting in the open, reading. rest
ing or visiting, has q. very decided
health value when the weather is
mild. The air in even tho best
ventilated rooms is not as good as
that out doors, Everyone should
take advantage Of mild weather con-
ditions to get all the fresh air pos
sible to build up their physical
bodies,
There atlIl turks the idea that open
windows, sleeping porches and the
like are desirable and indispensable
for tuberculosis, but they are I'M
necessary for the well. This Of
course Is absurd. There is no doubt
that the general adoption Of. fresh
air-more open windows, more out
door walking and the. wider use Of
the ordinary porch would markedly
improve the health Of the commu-
nifty.
Clean, we'll aired homes. built so
as to admit plenty Of fresh air all
the year round and out Of door living
as much as possible during the sum-
mer, will do much to bring health to
the home and just in proportion to
your health your life will be worth
living.

TITLES AND THE CONSTITUTION.

mo title Of nobility shall be granted by
the United States. And no person holding
any office OF profit or trust under them SHALL
without the consent Of the congress, accept
OF any present, ernolument, office title OF
any kind whatever from any king, prince or
foreign state.
So,reads paragraph 8 Of section 8 of the
teonstitution Of the United States.
Congress has. given permission to Ameri-
ican soldiers to accept the French war cross
and other foreign decorations given for
bravery only. The decision was q proper
ione and fullytin accord with the spirit Of
The constitution.
But titles are another matter.
We don't want even "sirs" in this coun.
try,. not even non-hereditary titles which
will expire. with the death Of the one hon
tored.
"'Mr.'' Wilson is good enough title for
the President Of the United States, and
general ought to be enough honor for
ANY army officer, unless congress decided
ito create the rank of field marshal.
