North Dakota's Experiment.

Voters of North Dakota have decided to
venture on the experiment of class government.
1t is not boleshevism, exactly, for it does not
look to the abolition of capital as such. On
the contrary, it plainly intends to give one class
of capital decided advantage over another If
the capital is represented by investment in farm
lands or is employed in carrying on agricultural
industry, it takes precedence over any other
form. Private ventures in banking, publishing.
merchandising, and other gainful or productive
occupations are made secondary to farming.
This is brought about by the establishment of
state-owned banks, newspapers, mercantile in
stltutions and the like, which are to be con-
Quoted under the state government it being en-
tirely dominated by the Nonpartisan League,
composed of those who are interested directly in
agriculture Such of the wage earners engaged
in other pursuits as have Joined the move are
those who fatuously expect to gain something
through the establishment of class control.
Elimination of private enterprise in all but the
dominating industry of the state may bring
to be especially helpful to the rest of the COM
munity. now in the minority. No new principle
is involved in the proceeding. 1t is of interest
chiefly because of the scope on which it has
been projected. Common sense and the ex-
perience of the human race warrant prediction
of its failure, and the farmers of North Dakota
will pay the bill in the end

Between Crozier and Baker.

General Crozier very deity passes the buck
to Secretary Baker in his testimony before the
house committee, regarding the country's un-
preparedness for war. He has told nothing
new, however. 1t was we'll known then, and
had been for some time, that the War depart
ment was not ready to arm a force of any
considerable size for service in the field. The
assembly of the troops on the Mexican border
in 1916, in spite of the congratulatory messages
exchanged between high officials, railroad men
and others. was a sorry exhibition of our mill
tary unreadiness. Such part of this as may be
ascribed to the pacihsm of the secretary of war,
then openly avowed, may excupate the then
head of the Ordnance department just to the
extent that he was restrained by his superior in
the formulation Of plans. But the public can
not forget the Lewis machine gun scandal, nor
the vexatious delays that occurred in perfecting
the Browning weapon. Neither is it possible
to overlook many other inexpcable happen
ings that held US back after we had actually en-
tered the war, and which may be traced straight
to the bureau of which General Crozier was the
head Enough of blame may be found to give
all OF the bureaucrats as we'll as the secre-
tary OF war full portion

Potato-Sack Clothes

About clothes-high-art clothes if you
please--clothes that have the distinguished look
to them-t doesn't seem to be so much mat
ter of textiles as of touched-up imagination or
of psychic call. AS, in illustration, the woman
editor of the fashion department of a Paris
newspaper in recent issue says that dress
maker recently showed her little gown of
s'toile de jute," the finished price of which was
$l40
And "toile de jute" is that very familiar tex
tile which is known in America as burlap. 1t
is the goods out of which fertilizer bags, coffee
sacks and various other ready-to-use bagging is
made. 1t is the cheapest textile on the market
but Paris gown made OF this textile is priced
at $l40-and, doubtless worth the money We
& may take it for granted that a rare and highly
trained artistic talent has accomplished won
ders with that five yards of burlap-the gown
doubtless has the psychic call-the call that

action or inaction of the legislature.
There is just cause for such discon-
tent. But who is really to blame?
Last November and December I
anticipated what was likely to hap
pen and | suggested to the people,
through the press; also l petitioned
the mayor and council to call mass
meeting at the City Hall for the pur-
pose Of instructing their servants
who were to go to Lincoln. My sug-
gestions were ignored. TRY again is
a useful maxim" So I am going to
refer to another important subject
the state constitutional convention.
1t behooves every citizen to be on
the alert and see that the constitu-
tional convention will not be a du-
plication of the last legislature.
We do not want a convention made
up of representatives of the special
and impossible theories of govern
ment. We should have the best
brains of the state in the member
ship of that body.
The selection of delegates to the
state constitutional convention may
be of more Importance to the people
of Nebraska than the proposed
league Of nations.
Every man who submits his candi-
dacy should give the voters a clear
understanding of what changes in
the fundamental law Of the state he
proposes to champion. I am con-
WINGED that the house Of representa-
tives of 100 members is too unwieldy
for effective work and its member
ship ought to be reduced. The work

What About Postwar Prices?

How will peace affect the cost of living?
The public, straining to meet the war require
ments, has looked with eagerness to the proc
amation of peace in hope that with it would
come some letup in high prices. Instead an
nouncements are coming from all sides of ad-
vance. Food, clothing, house rent, fuel, all that
enters into the home budget show steadily
mounting cost to the consumer.
Economists are not agreed as to the reason
for this, but one admitted cause is the psyche
logical aspect of the situation The desire to
maintain wartime ratio of profits is not easily
overcome, and the spirit of profteering, encour-
aged by public willingness to purchase, no mat
ter what price is asked finds expression in de-
mands that are more and more extortionate.
This is discouraging for the people, who long
for relief.
Such part of the added cost as rests on
worlds shortage has fact for it's foundation,
but does not take into consideration the more
important element of the worlds ability to pay.
Governments are no longer in the market buy
ing huge quantities of supplies, to be de-
stroyed in war. Sales must be to individuals,
who will purchase only as necessity forces
them. Some who are yet enjoying the fictitious
prosperity engendered by the war may indulge
in the extravaganza of shoes at SIS per pair
and ready made clothing at SIS suit but not
many afford these things.
Governmental restraint on commerce and
industry alike is soon to be removed Just
what will follow when supply and demand again
operate to determine prices may only be judged
by the certain conclusion that demand at least
will be affected as much by ability to pay as by
need of the purchaser. 1t is also certain that
lower rate of profit must be accepted before
general business again comes into full health

PEACE TREATY AND THE SENATE.

The next chapter in the peace proceedings,
so far the United States is concerned, is the
ratification of the treaty by the senate. Sup
porters of the president profess to believe that
the necessary votes are in sight, and that the
treaty, including the League of Nations cove
nant, will get full endorsement when the test
finally comes.
Efforts of the democrats to make it parti-
san affair are so ill-timed and persistent as to
arouse justhabe resentment and have had
some effect in prolonging the opposition. This
began with the president, who has studiously
ignored the senate in all stages of the nego-
tiation. He ostentatously selected such coun-
sellers and associates in the great undertaking
as would leave the decision wholly in his con-
troll At no time has he consulted with the
senate, a coordinate branch of the government
and without whose consent the treaty cannot
become operative. In this he has equally dis
regarded the constitutional provision for treaty
making.
Mr. Wilson's course is defended by recourse
to tradition, which has it that all treaties have
been formulated by the State department with
the cooperation of the executive and then sent
to the senate for consideration. The record
does not disclose, however, case wherein the
president of the United States has refused to
consult or advise with the senate or even to
permit it know officially the tenor of the con-
vention about to be concluded prior to its
formal submission for ratification.
If there be hostility to the treaty in the
senate, not a little of the cause will be found
in the course pursued by the president, and
which has been aggravated by the conduct of
his supporters. The effort to make the war
a personal triumph for Mr.. Wilson found its
answer at the polls last November. The people
realize that all patriotism does not reside in
single political party.

ument in the same place as does the
name of John Hancock on our i'm
mortal Declaration Of independence,
at the head General Webster, in
1875, was recognized as an authority
on constitutional law, and his fame
has broadened and spread ever since
then. Can we afford to leave such a
man out of the next convention?
Omaha would not only honor Cen
eral Webster and herself, but would
do an honor and credit to the state
by placing him at the head of its
delegation. The general is even bet
ter able now to serve the state than
he was then, and the next constitu-
ton will last even longer than our
present one has. Nebraska needs
him there, he is entitled to the honor
above any other man in the state.
