JUST FOLKS.
All That We Can Be.
BY Edgar A. Guest.

You never can be one the world can't
get along without
You cannot grow So wise and good,
so muscular and stout
But what another just as wise and
just as strong can do
The very tasks hat you perform and
fill the place Of you,
But you can do your work so well
that when you quit your place
The world will miss your cheerful
smile and long to see your face.
Man is not all-important here; life
leans not on the few;
The old departs and youth comes In
the tasks it leaves to do.
When strong men fall the fight goes
on, for men of strength arise.
New sages follow sages dead, for wis
dom " dies.
But all who have the will to serve
may find their fame in this:
That they are men the world some
day shall sadly mourn and
We cannot lock within our breast.
Nfe's secrets or its lore.
We die, but strength and wisdom live
and will forever more.
We take from life the things we need,
the skill that others lack.
And when at last Deaths summons
comes. to life we hand them
back.
We shall have reached fame,s great.
est height, II when we've trav.
eled on .
A few shall miss us from our post
and mourn that We have gone

APPLYING THE REFERENDUM

Some Of the legislation already enacted by this gem
eral assembly is regarded by many citizens of the state
as detrimental to the public interest. Much of the legis-
lation which is pending is of a character which is re-
garded as not merely detrimental, but as a menace to
the very existence Of the state. 1t is for this reason that
application Of the referendum to such legislation az
shall appear, after its final enactment, to be of this
dangerous character.
The movement is eninently wise and sensible. If
the dictators of the Socialist party which is being forced
upon the state insist on their extreme measures of class
legislation, those who hope to keep North Dakota a state
property in, will be obliged to protect themselves and
their successors by utilizing every lawful means provided
for that purpose. The present referendum laws were
enacted for the purpose of making it easy to commit the
state to new and untried legislation. The same methods,
while not so intended, can be used for the purpose OF
uullifying unwise and unsound laws enacted under duress
by the legislature. 1t is for the purpose Of preparing in
time for such action along this line as may be required
that steps are being taken by the Independent Voters
association to cause organizations to be perfected In all
the counties of the state. As a result Of such oreaniza-
ton it can be determined in time what laws. II any. shall
be subjected to referendum. and it it is determined to
take such action there will be in existence machinery
whreby the detailed work on circulating petitions and
conducting a campaign can be handled.

B0LSHEYlSM COLLAPSES

The force of the Seattle strike seems to be broken,
and every orderly person in the country will rejoice at
the fact: Not least among those who are pleased that the
effort of a few to club and choke the people of a great city
into submission to their demands, regardless of the right
of the country, who believe in the exchange of labor for
wages on a fair and reasonable basis. and who have re-
gard for the contracts into which they have entered and
the obligations which they have assumed.
One of the worst enemies that organized labor has,
or can have, is the element which was most conspicuously
represented in the making Of plans for the Seattle strike.
Not all Of those who at first participated in the strike are
and without proper consideration went on strike. That
action was subsequently reversed by enough employees to
demonstrate that the real sympathies of the laboring peo-
pie of Seattle are not in this strike. Those who proposed
and. fomented the strike knew well what the issues were.
They knew that the strike was a violation Of agreements
made, and that the whole procedure was unfair and dis
honorable. The fact that the strike has collapsed is the
answer given these men by laboring men and women who
are real working members OF the community.
Not a little Of the success Of law and order in the
city is to be attributed to the rugged and incorporating
attitude of Mayor Hanson. The Herald is not acquainted
with: the mayor Of Seattle, and knows nothing Of his gen.
eral equipment for the position. But in his assertion of
the might and dignity Of the society over which he pre-
sides, he proved to be the right man in the right place.
There are many things on which men may properly
compromise. They may agree to waive financial interest
strict Justice demands. But there can be no such thing

PASSING DISHARMONIES'

The information that an element OF friction mas crept
into the peace negotiations is not surprising. 1t would
have. been astonishing. in fact, if such friction could nave
been avoided on an occasion like the Paris congress where
contrasting views are presented and where they at some
point or other are bound to clash.
The specific fact this time Is that the French press
is said to have been hostile to the general policy Of the
peace congress. and for that reason a suggestion has been
advanced for the removal Of the conference to some neu-
tral city. -
This brings up the point that at no time was any Off
cal announcement made of the selection OF Paris as the
seat Of the important MISUNDERSTANDING and Versailles
had, as a matter of fact, been the places most frequently
mentioned in advance discussions. The view that special
honor should be conferred on Paris was allowed to pre-
vail, and no one seemed to think this vas a bad or unjust
selection.
That it had its practical advantages as we'll as its
serious drawbacks, was evident from the very beginning.
and it may be that the Germans were learning certain
lessons by looking at the Paris congress. for when they
decided on Weimar as the place for the first meeting OF
their new constituent assembly, it wa. with the acknowl-
edged intention of avoiding all the probable troubles that
might arise from the fact that such an assembly held in.
for instance, Berlin or Frankfort, would find it a bit too
easy to excite an already disturbed population whereas
peaceful and idylic Weimar, redolent with fragrant
Goethe "reminiscences, would be in all respects a safe
place. . "
So it may be that the Paris congress is to be removed
elsewhere. But even though this may happen, it is no
sign that the friction seemingly engendered between the
personnel of the congress and certain representative OF
French public opinion + of a lasting nature. From the very
begin ing it was evident that disharrnony must crop up
from, time to time, but also that although opinions might
be divergent, they would lead to no serious schism.
1t is not easy to settle the destiny of a world for ages
to come. Lesser achievements have caused wars and
other serious troubles, and the men who are sitting at
green table in Quai d'orsay are. not deities above the COM
mon run of human nature. Imperfect themselves. they
strive to make future conditions as perfect and as safe as
it is humanity possible to make them. The fact that easily
i~nflammable French journalists get excited and employ
a certain shriuness of voice will not, Of course, disrupt
the negotiations, and will not even retard them. ,ti5

One of these. and a most appropriate one. fc
which funds are now being collected. is the Rooseve
fountain. the movement for which was in
by the National Association Of Audubon sc
ieties. In presenting the call for this purpose Chairma
Of the association says:
1.-THE great spirit of Theodore Roosevelt an In
~spiration to naturalists. bird-lovers. conservationists
and sportsmen, today rests upon the nation like a
mighty benediction. Men Of the open loved him ana
the faces about his campfire. whether black or yell
low, white or copper, bent their gaze upon him with
that respect and affection which men of towering
nobility have ever inspired.
HE was a scientific collector of birds In his
youth and in manhood sought the hercest animals
of the jungle and brought his trophies to museums
where the public might look upon. them and learn.
AS president he established the principle Of govern
ment bird-reservations, and created thirty-eight Of
these national wild-life sanctuaries. He awoke the
nation to the need of saving its forests and other
natural resources. IT,
He taught and practiced clean, straight sports
manship with a power that has caused thousands of
men aheld to walk in straighter paths.
HE discussed questions understandingly with
our greatest technical naturalists and at the same
time was president of the Long Island Bird club
that feeds the wild birds in winter and teaches little
children to love them.
THE man or woman who is welded to the open
knows these facts and many others. 1t is because
Of this knowledge and of a desire to give some
tangible expression Of esteem in which his memory
is held that the plan has been formed to erect at
some appropriate spot a memorial that speaks Of the
wild-bird life in which he was 90 deeply interested.
The National Association of Audubon Societies
and affiliated organizations Of various kinds through
out the United States, therefore, call upon the
friends Of their great fallen leader to erect a Roose-
welt memorial fountain.
The possibilities of such a work Of art are
boundless and in the hands Of some great American
sculptor there can be wrought a fountain Of such
beauty and Appropriateness that it will become one
Of the landmarks of our country, and ever serve as
a reminder of the great American nature loyer.
"a national committee cooperating with the Of
ncers and directors of the association has been
formed to aid in the collection of funds and in the
ultimate selection Of a proper work Of art"
