NORTH DAKOTA AS A PIONEER

Embracing upon the most elaborate
scheme of state socialism ever proposed
in America, North Dakota, now governed
by the Nonpartisan league, in sympathe-
tic alliance with German propagandists,
and the |. w. w. is wholly within its
rights. Under the original American
system of local self government there
were few restrictions upon experiments,
wise or unwise, on the part of the var
ious states. In fact, innovations were
thus encouraged and open minded people
everywhere stood ready to profit by the
experience of their neighbors.
North Dakota is now to operate its own
industries. 1t will finance them through
an official bank. 1t will build homes for
its people, 1t will own and operate ter
minals, elevators, packing houses and
flour mills. 1t will lend money to farm
ers, who constitute most of its population.
To meet the expenses of it's many enter
prises there is to be an initial issue of
bonds to the amount Of $17,000,000, prin-
cipal and interest to be guaranteed by the
people, the virtue of which will appeal as
strongly to Wall street as to the able
farmer financiers who make up the local
chapters. of the all-powerful league.
Going into business of many kinds in
this fashion, North Dakota assumes all
responsibility. Later on it may increase
its activities, or it my curtail them. The
right and the risk are all its own. But
what if we have movement at Washing
ton by constitutional amendment or act
Of Congress to enforce these policies up
on states not yet convinced? That is
what is happening in other directions.
and it is leading to an overmastering CEN
tralism as destructive of personal liberty
as it is fatal to the foundation principles
of the republic.
Our free states were designed to be
great laboratories of political and social
science. Perhaps North Dakota has dis
covered valuable secret long hidden
from its sister commonwealth If so, let
its adoption elsewhere depend upon free
will and not upon compulsion-NeW York

The so-called "drugless" doctors Of
New York City. OF whom there are
several hundred. have made the as
founding announcement that during
the recent epidemic OF FLU" in that
city they did not lose single case.
Figures complied by the osteo-
paths throughout tho country show
that out OF 10000 cases of flu treat
ed, OF which between three and four
thousand developed pneumonia, only
472 died-a mortality Of less than /
per cent. AS nearly as can be esti-
mated the total mortality from flu
throughout the country has ranged
from to Is per cent. II these fig
ures are correct, here is food for
thought for doctor and layman alike.
Certainly every broad minded ply
stefan will welcome the news that
there is more successful method Of
treating the flu than the one that he
has been using In fact, many old
School physicians have already dis
sarded exploded theories and adopt
ed the most up to date methods of
fighting disease.

WRITE THE MONROE DOCTRINE IN

Lord Robert Cecil, according to an
Associated Press dispatch, says that Am
erica is protected by the League of Ma
tons Covenant. Here is what he says:
'If the Monroe doctrine means, as
believe it does, that there ought to be no
interference with affairs on the Ameri-
can continent by European powers with
out the consent of the United States, then
| say that the doctrine is strengthened by
the League of Nations"
If that be true then there can be no
objection-on the part of Great Britain, or
any other nation, to the Incorporation of
a provision in the Covenant specifically
recognizing the Monroe doctrine. If they
refuse to incorporate such provision it Is
certain that they plan to repudiate it af-
ter the League becomes an accomplished
fact. 1t will not do to say that Lord Cecil
or Premier Lloyd George said beforehand
that the Monroe doctrine would be

whose ideas concerning the cause and

whose ideas concerning the cause and
cure of disease are derived entirely
from their college text books.
The medical profession for the
sake Of its reputation, IL not for sake
of the human lives involved, will do
well to give serious consideration to
this matter. 1t is an even more vital
subject for the layman, since 1t is
his life that is at stake. A man who
contracts the flu wants treatment
and advice that will help him to re-
cover. and not hasten him to his
grave.
The loss of life from the flu SO
far has been variously estimated at
from half a million to more than two
million. Suppose million persons
have died from the disease and sup
pose that they had all received the
sac treatment that the $4,000 cases
mentioned above received and had
responded with the same percentage
of recoveries. This would mean that
only 10000 would have died. and
that 10000, of the 100000 would
probably be alive today.

THE IDAHO BUSINESS PROGRAM

The state government of Idaho has
been put on business basis by abolish
ing waste horde of boards, Commissions
and functionaries all more or less politi-
cal sinecures.
The Idaho idea is sound in principle be-
cause it makes the chief executive of the
state responsible of the people for the in
lection of business into details of public
affairs.
The Governor and the party that elect
ed him to office will rise or fall when they
again go before the people on the merits
and record of the showing they make in
handling the state business.
That issue cannot be evaded and there
can be no blaming irresponsible boards
and commissions composed of persons not
chosen by the people and not responsible
to any political party.
In time the cabinet system will be i'm
proved by reducing the number of COM
missioners, and in the end about three
competent members will form good
working county or state government.
The commission or cabinet form, with
direct executive powers located in few
individuals who cannot evade responsible
ity, will also take the place of present
cumbersome city councils.

IT'S AN OPEN CORNER
Hancock Denies There Are Obsfruc-
tons at Accident Scene.

Hancock Denies There Are Obsfruc-
tons at Accident Scene.
The report that he had been notified
OF conditions at the street intersection
at Sixth and Underwood. the scene of
the motor car accident Sunday even
ing. was denied this morning by Com
missioner W. S. Hancock. Hancock
stated this morning that he had never
received any notice of any kind what
soever concerning the alleged condi-
tons that served as a screen prevent
ing observation Of approaching cars
on the intersecting streets
It was said that trees and weeds
formed the obstruction. Commission
are no trees on the corner and that
weeds that were there some time ago
have now been cut down.
Hancock states further that these
things do not come within the pre-
cincts Of his office and that he has
nothing to do with weeds or trees in
yards.
The commissioners believe as indi-
Gated by statements made today, that
the corner in question is as open and
clear a corner as there is in the city.
They feel that the danger at this in
tersection Is caused by motor car driv-
ers on Sixth street using an excessive
amount OF speed. Ordinarily many
cars pass this intersection hundreds of
times a day driven at a rate of speed
considerably in excess OF the speed
limits. They hold that most Of the
danger is due to unlawful bursts of
speed on the Sixth street highway

the rural school department of the
Kansas State Normal school.
Butler county alone has fifty rural
teachers who receive 800 or more

Cocoanut Oh! Fine
For Washing Hair

II you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp. makes the hair brittle. and
is very harmful. Mulsified cocoanut
oil shampoo (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless), is much better than
anything else you can use for sham
pooling, as this can't possibly injure
the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two tea
spoonfuls viii! make an abundance of
rich, creamy lather. and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroly. The lather
rinses out easily and removes every
particle of dust. dirt. dandruff and ex-
cessiye oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly. and it leaves IL fine and
silky, bright. fluffy and easy to man
age
You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil
shampoo at most any drug store. 1t
is very cheap, and a few ounces is
enough to last everyone in the family
