ALL SCULPTORS DO NOT WORTH WITH
SENSELESS CLAY AND COLD MARBLE


There are men who model remarkable things
out of clay and marble. They have made images
of man wonderful to behold and well near impos-
sible to duplicate. They have been decorated with
honors titles, laurel wreathes and showered with
words of praise.
They produced out of senseless marble thing
which resembles human beings.
For doing so much and doing it we'll, they de-
serve considerable credt-and that the world
gives them.
But there are other scu!ptors and we do not call
them sculptCrs who turn out even more wonderful
work. They take of thing and make it man.
They put the soul into mortal clay. They put real
life into lifeless years. There are many such.
For instance there is one such human sculptor
of human clay living in Chicago. This sculptor
well call him such although he never handled a
sculptors mallet and chisel-Jack Robbins, carves
fine men out of "bad' boys. He takes the boy
without home, without friends, without hope,
without ambition, without any Of the things which
naturally would lead boy into honest manhood,
and spends weeks and years carving out Of that
flesh and bone a boy with hope, ambition and a
soul!
Taking them from the gutter Of sin, from penal
institutions and the streets Jack Robbins moulds
them into boys who Will be men, husbands, 1atnefS,
citizens an honor to their country and a living
monument to their sculptor.
Yet, the world pins no medal on Jack Robbins,
and places nc laurel wreathe upon his brow. Nor
does he receive golden reward for his effort. The
world will 60 on apying much in.gold and praise to
the Borglums, Trobetskis, MacMonieses, dorado
Tafts for what they can do in clay and marble, and
the world will go on admirng the remarkable
genius of Pericles and Michael Angelo sculptors
who made ifeess images out Of clay, land the world
will go on overlooking and unrewarding the great
er geniuses who make good men out of bad boys.
1t is our opinion that the saving Of one way
ward boy is of greater value to the world than the
carving of all the marble statues in inches and
upon pedestals the world over.

WITH THE EDITORS
FARING AN UNCHARTED SEA

The socialist inner circle of the Nonpartisan
league in North Dakota cherishes fond hope that
der Tag" it looked forward to is near at hand
1t may yet be due for shock that it cannot absorb
and keep it's feet.
Word comes from various we'll informed
sources in sister state that the Townley Mills

attractive it draws nearer and takes on clearer
outlines. @.5 i . atf4
Many farmers who were willing last November
to trust themselves and their interests to the hands
of Towneybund are not so sure now that they took
the right course at the polls. At distance the
program had it's charms. Near by it discloses
aspects that give rise to very serious misgivings
The Townleybund has another hurdle to make
before it reaches the decisive goal Its more radi
cal legislative measures are to be subjected to the
test of referendum. By the time that stage is
reached the voters will have had time to think
things over their own account. Their ballots
will be cast in secret. No socialist dictator can
stand over them with club in the curtained
booths and direct what they shall do under penalty
The bludgeon will not work as it worked in many
instances in the legislative session with the states
lawmakers
For aught we know the electorate of North Da-
kota at the prospective referendum election will
lndorse all that the legislature has done. If So
North Dakota is for it, II will be nobody elses bust
ness. 1t must then hold it's peace and abide by the
verdict. Voters may think, if the thing does not
pan out as they expect, that they can disenthra
themselves from the results in q year or two
Therein they will be painfully disilusioned. II will
take years for the state to get out Of the mOrass
in such a case.
1t is no light thing politically or economically to
lead state of the limited resources of North Da-
kota into an initial $l7,OOO,OOO adventure in rad
icalism, particularly when the leading is done by
men whose purposes are questionable and when
this first adventure is held in mind by them as
only the forerunner Of others even more extreme.
North Dakotans may be soacing themselves with
the thought that it won't hurt much at the worst
to take chance and to have their fling at ad-
minstrative originality. Now is the time to do
some straight, serious thinking on that point

DR.; Edwards Olive Tablets the substi.

of DR.. Edwards determination not to treat
liver and bowel complaints with calomel.
His efforts to Danish 1t brought out these

Of the trouble and quickly correct it: Why

Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the

GENTLE SPRING BRINGS RAINS, SUNSHINE,
FLOWERS AND

While the government has not thought enough
of the subject to take data, so there exact
figures available, still we surmse that about this
time OF the year the great American boil and car
buncle crop is ripenng for the harvest.
The great American home feeds itself on buck
wheat cakes, and rich sirups, and pork sausage,
and hot breads, and rich buildings and pies and
cakes through the inactive winter months, and
then. just before housekeeping time, dame nature
has small sweeping out and shoves lot OF rub
bish out through the skin.
Perhaps they are folks who still regard the
annual boil visitation an infction from the
Lord rather than from the pork barrel.
And these good people would never believe that
when spring comes, and greens, boiled and other
wise, edge into the that the rash and blisters
and such vanish.
High toned folks who really regard salads as
something to eat, and who can take olive oil with
out drenchlng Bit escape these spring plaques,
but the average American home, especially those
IN the rural regions where three square meals a
day still mean meat and lots of it. and piles and
heaps of sweet stuffs with tea we'll boiled, and
coffee reboiled for week with the same grounds
Tor substratum, prefers the old-time menu, with
dash OF sarsaparilla as spring tonic
Our pictures of home would not be complete
without the one of dad taking his meals through
the spring with sofa cushion for his moorine
ground, and full set of neck plaster for his car
buncles.
That was about the time we broke out like =
turkeys egg, and sister captured her first beau
and box of face powder.
But on a zero morning, especially if you have
valeted ten cows before dawn, stack of buck
wheat cakes, with sorghum, and a heap of home
made sausage, with hot rolls and coffee that will
float nine-pound splitting wedge, provide some
thing worth consideration.

THE GREAT AMERICAN LAW MACHINE IS
HITTING ON ALL TWELVE.

It has been our proud boast that the average
state legislature passed in five weeks every other
year more laws than all the combined law making
bodies of England did in ten.
And with 48 brands of legislatures grinding out
laws and tax measures and adopting constitutional
amendments it was easily seen that we must be
about three-score or Whereabouts, as law abiding
as our English cousins.
Because it stands to reason if you have 40 laws
and obey 26 Of em, and your neighbor only has a
miserable dozen and obeys the whole dozen, still
you are two hundred and some per cent the better
citizen than he is.
Or is it only one hundred per cent?
Anyhow it's enough to show our great Ameri-
can law abidngness.
And, being so quick On the law trigger, it nat
urally follows that no new turn of the human
wheel of destiny slips past an American legislature
without an appropriate law being made to cover
the slipping.
To prove it we merely, as late instance offer
the western legislature that has not only favoraby
reported on the measure to prohibit the shooting
of water fowl from aeropanes, but has amended it
to prohibit the taking of crabs Holsters, clams
oysters or any shell fish by submarines

THANKSGIVING-A DAY

This is a day of Thanksgiving. A
day set aside by proclamation upon
which America will offer thanks to
the Almighty for the numerous bless
ings He has showered upon a CRATE
full people.
This day is also the commemora-
ton of an event in the history of this
great nation. A day set aside by the
Pilgrim fathers upon which to give
thanks for bounteous harvest. For
more than a centery this day has beel
an event in the lives of great people.
It has guided them in their faith-it
has made them invincible.
What does Thanksgiving Day mean
to you?
Asloyal Americans, this day Of all
days should be day of Thankfulness.
To this people and the people Of the
entire world.
Last year we gave thanks with
hearts overlooking with joy-the great
war had been brought to a successful
close and America, the Victorious,
offered her devotions. In Europe, a
war stricken, weary and broken
people gave thanks that at last the
serpent head of autocracy had been
trampled under the heal Of democracy.
But today. What a day of days is
this upon which to review the past
year with it's trials, it's successes and
its failures. We have passed through
the valley of the shadow and to US, as
Americans, the world turns in faith
and hope. We are means to an end.
America, the Moses who shall lead
the children of autoracy out of the
wilderness of misunderstanding into
the land of promise and liberty.
And as our Pilgrim fathers on the
cold bleak shores of Plymouth Sound
offered up their thanks for bounte-
GUS harvest, let us as their desendents,
give thanks for the harvest yet to
come-the harvest of freedom, en-
lightenment and democratic princi-
pls.
