TEACH THE CONSTITUTION.

DIRST and foremost has got to be fought out the
r. problem as to whether the Constitution of the
United States, protecting the right of the indi-
vidua to make material progress, to accumulate and
to save, is to be protected
The first reform necessary is to put behind the
flag at every schoolhouse the Constitution Of the
United States. There should never be graduation

State university student high school scholar

nation and shown his knowledge Of the meaning of
the Constitution of the United States and its repre-
sentative form of government.
In the political agitation that has gone on, it
seems almost to have been forgotten that great as is
the Constitution of the United States it's greatness
consists in the freedom it gives to individual enter
prise and for combinations of enterprise and capital
the protection it gives to individual inventors and
the stimulus it furnishes to individual initiative.
U. S. spells not only coordination" but wealth
and independence as the reward for business enter
prise which enlarges output improves quality and
reduces prices
1t is thus that here the people are better and
more abundanty fed and clothed and let it be
FORGOTTEN that labor consumes more than 90 per cent
of what it produces.

FASHION.

THE DANES have stacks of coats and gowns that
they might wear for years; but women wilt
when Fashion frowns, and shake with craven
fears The rags they buy are out OF date as soon as
they are worn; and husbands sad, who pay the
freight, can only mourn and mourn. hear my
Aunt Jenima say, "This lid l bought last year
would put me, if twere worn today, upon the street
named Queer" But still wear the old brown tile
bought before the war; and no asks, with caus-
tic smile, "What do you wear it for?" man may
wear the ancient suit his father handed down and
still be called of good repute credit to the town.
Along the village street I'll strut and hear no jeering
wheeze, because my coat has ancient cut, my pants
have baggy knees. But if my Aunt Jemima goes in
buds two seasons old, the women cry "Those fossil
clothes! Consider and beholdw The cost of living
would descend, in every home, swear, if girls had
courage to offend the tyrant Fashion, there. The
girls have stacks Of furbelows that cost CHASTITY
pile; but they won't wear such things those one
season out of style.

RADICALS LETTER TRIM SAILS.

N discussing the Non-P Partisan league, the argu-

clouds the real issue.
The league depends for its success on the sup

up strong political party with farmers IN control
special privileges can he secul ed for the farmers IN
the way of state owned elevat IS, flour mills banks
and principal lines Of activity and distribution re-
lating to farming, at expense of general taxpayers
If the farmers would only stop to think, they
would soon see that any party or organization built
on the theory of special privileges is bound to TALL IN
this nation it is entirely contrary to every prln
chile of our constitution and form of government
The bank failure at Fargo, N. D., was typical
illustration of political domination of bank for the
benefit of special class.
Glass rule always has failed and always will fall
however strong it may be fol fleeing period
Organizations such as the Non-Partlsan league,
and radical labor groups seeking to control this ma
ton in the interest Of select class would do we'll to
trim their sails to American standards as laid down
in our constitution else they will wake up some
morning with bare poles for the tempest OF public
