North Dakots's Lesson.

In North Dakota, the State which
has been drinking deep of the fire.
water Of false economies, the sober
thinking electors have endeayored
through a referendum to check the
political debauch in which they have
been involved. The returns are not
all In; the result Of the voting Is In
doubt, with the figures favoring the
radical proposals.
One thing alone Il certain. II 10
that the Non-Partisan League, chief
exponent Of State ownership and OPP
GRAFTON Of everything in sight, Is not
as strong as 1t once was, and the ef-
feet Of prosperity on the voters has
been strikIngly demonstrated. A mes
sage from Fargo says:
Throughout the Red River Valley.
where the farmers are prosperous, the
league has lost heavily. but it re-
tained It's strength in the northwest
ern section Of the State, where the
farmers have had four successive
crop failures"
Good times, fat pocketbooks, ali the
comforts and most Of the Injuries Of
life made the farmers of the Red
River Valley conservative, satisfied,
philosophically content with things as
they are. Four crop failures in sue
cession would turn any man dependent
on the blishted acres for his living
Into an uproarious agitator.
Europe teaches the same lesson.
Socialism flnds congenial atmos-
phere where want presses heavily on
the people. Hunger leads to anarchy.
Where food has been found In guam

than keep body and soul together
there is hope and determination to

To THE EDITOR OF THE SrN--sir: cit
was with a distinct feeling OF dramatic
interest that I read n THE Sun OF the
election OF a titled Enslishman from a
hotel because Of his denunciation Of two

sta GO of his unpopularity was reached.
60 gathered from tho article. when he
made the meaningless assertion that all
those who solicited aid for Ireland were
traitors TO tho Allies. Clearly. the un-
pies santness Of that statement lay in the
implication that tho American people. as
Americans, had extended their allegiance
20 the ALLIES. an implication which in
npite OF the advocates OF our surrender to
the decentralization OF the League of
Nations, could not but be abhorrent to
many. Perhaps also there were some
few idealists present who found It hard

Seven Unwise Sclomons.

We do not recall another instance in
which seven brothers have been de-
tected IN a conspiracy to commit u
fraud, and sentenced to Jail for their
crime, as the seven Solomons, late Of
Syria, now on the way to the Federal
penitentiary at Atlanta, have been.
Seven brothers In business together
would attract attention; seven broth
ers iswindline merchants to the
tune Of $4,000 present a spectacle
perhaps unprecedented.
Their system was ancient and famil-
lar. They leased shops, bought goods
on credit. had their purchases deliy-
cred, removed them to other shops
sold the goods for what they would
bring, and then vanished. The scheme
has been worked over and over again.
The solomons went In for fraud on n
grand scale. They had their own
trucks their own warehouses. and
their own system Of false swearing In
bankruptcy cases. The New York
Credit Mems Association detected
them. and post once inspectors did the
rest. They we're prosecuted for using
the mails to defraud.
Another Solomon said: The right
eousness Of the upright shall deliver
them; but transgressors shall be taken
in their own naughtiness The seven
Solomons now In durance should have
read and needed the wisdom and the
warnings OF that other bearer Of their
name

Horatio Lang and Mabel S;rauK
Were lovers fond and true,
Each dreamed about a cosy nat
Designed to sh elter two,
Nightly he courted hsr-they dwslt
One city block apart,
But he couldn't &c: his courage up
To offer her his heart.
And so Horatio penned a note
In phrases honey sweet
And laid his love and weekly wage
At Aabers dainty feet.
He beGEsd her for a lae at once
To let him know his fate.
Then mailed the Hissive Joyfu!!y
And sat him down to wait.
The years rolled on with no reply,
And he grew stout ana gray.
And Mabel when she met hin shifted
And looked another way.
She married Guy Lsveliyn jerks
A movie star Of fame.

A Test Of Art Amateurs Patriots

II the announced sale at auction
on July in London of REYNoLDs's
portrait Of Mrs. Siddons as the
Tragic Muse" takes place the world
at large will have an opportunity to
see whether the new art collectors Of
Great Britain are patriotic as we'll as
merely fashionably acquisitlve. Brit
ish art lovers whose devotion to
aesthetics Is not based on fortunes ac-
quired since 1914 are very much con-
cerned as to whether this great por-
trait, which Is owned by the Duke of
WESTMINSTER, will be bought by some
American collector to whom price Is
no object, given a painting worth hav-
ing, or by one OF the new art anna
teurs of their own country who have
been creating a veritable "art boom"
In London recently.
That these British amateurs are
new to the art market Is well known
IN interested circles in London. That
they are ready TO pay high prices for
art objects that mo gentleman's house
should be without" recent Incidents
in London auction rooms bear wit
ness. At sale of the late Sir Ed
WARD BURSE-JoNEs's pictures a water
color of The Fall Of Lucifer" brought
81, 500 as against 5000 paid for this
same subject In oils in 1893. Such a
price for n water color Is seldom
heard Of nowadays: and BuRNE-JoNEs
Is not as highly thought of to-day as
he was twenty years ago. Again.
this auction room figure shows how
prices are mounting in England. In
the settlement OF the Fowles estate
here the other day II was noted that
water color by TURNER was valued
at $4,000. BURNE-JoNEs is in normal
times long way from TURNER meas
ured in auction prices.
Three portraits by RoMSEY brought
the British equivalent OF $94,0 at a
sale In London on June 81. One Of
these, "The Warren Family" brought
approximately $4,000. A Reynolds
portrait went for $4,000 at n sale In
May. and portrait said to be by
Halls brought $4,000. II prices such
as these nre bid for canvnses known
only to the we'll informed on art II
would appear that 30 renowned work
as the portrait Of Mrs. SrDDoSs ought
to be run up to one Of the record
breaking figures of public art sales.
Should some American collector or
dealer take 1t out Of England we fear
the League OF Nations will get TN
other Jolt and the universal rap.
prochement be a little further away

An Enemy OF German Propaganda

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir. Peace
has come at last Germany is on her
knees before outraged but forg1vink hu-
man!ty. Since our entry into the world
war have stood firmly and consistent
ly against the performances OF German
opera, German plays and German
music. The committee and league which
founded uncovered ample evidence that
German propaganda lurked In these Ap-
parentiy harmless entertainments while
victory was on the laps OF the gods and
a soft peace was a remote and unfair
possibility.
Now all Is changed. No further pro-
tests against the German productions
whenever and wherever given In tho

that henoeforth materialism will weigh
too heavily against a pro-German atti-
