The attention of the editor has
been called to the fact of. the
large number of young boys.
white and colored. but mostly
colored, who can be seen on the
streets, sitting on the benches
along the lake banks at all times
of day or night; idle, Matching up
mischief. remarking on the pass
ers by and exerting q very bad
influence over the younger. better
boys in town.
It seems to the casual observer
that there should be some way to
prevent this. Isn't there any law
that touches on this situation?
Haven't the city officials the au-
thority to make these men and
boys work, or to take them up9
Such means could De used for
daytime, but Why not a curfew
law for people up to q certain age
to be used after dark2
The conditions in Natchitoches,
are, for the most part ideal, but,
unless something IS done, and
done soon, such conditions will
not continue to exist, so now isl
the time to take some measures to
keep Natchitoches a fit place for
the youths of our city.

CONSUMERS STORES

In a statement published in the Fargo Courier News
and attributed to an officer of the Consumers Store COM
pany, we are told that the company has on hand about
$500, 900 in the notes of its subscribers. That it has
100000 in the furniture, fixtures and other equipment,
and Of the "a stores which it has in operation. This
amount Of money it will be understood by those who are
familiar with the plan of operation is one that the COM
pany is required to devote to the operation Of "a stores.
Anything above that may be devoted to other purposes,
such as the educational work. for which provision is
made in the contracts.
There is sometimes a misunderstanding as to the
provision Of this contract. and the statement is made that
20 per cent off all money received from subscriptions
must be invested directly in the business of the stores.
This is not true. The contract provides. that there must
be so invested 30 per cent Of all sums up to SO 900 SUBJ
.scribed by any local store group. The other 10 per cent
and all sums in excess Of the 31e,o 900 may be used sub
stantiany as the managers Of the general corporation
may desire. In other words, II the provision of the con-
tract rs literally carried out. IL $50, 900 Is subscribed and
. local manager in community. $4,000 Of that must be in
vested in the store business; 81. 900 may be placed in the
general treasury Of the corporation to be used for general
work At the discretion Of the officials who
were selected by Mr.. rownley and are under his imme-
date direction. -

what use is it?
Does government prevent violence and injustice !?
Not always ana necessarily. But is government Of no
value?
There are defects in the organization and operation
Of everything, but in the main the citizens Of civilized
countries are fairly secure in the possession Of their
property and the freedom Of their action. The individ-
ual goes to and from his work unarmed and unafraid.
He leaves his wife and children without bodyeuard. He
may turn the key in his door at night, but he does not
barricade his windows. He is free to go and come as

These and other elements of security which the citi-
zen enjoys today are his because there is such a thing
as organized government. Society has decreed that its
individual members shall not engage in acts of violence,
md because society has done this the individual is Sc
cure. Yet, government does not prevent violence. No
one may be certain that his house may not be robbed
tonight, or that ne may not be assaulted on his first ap.
pearance on the street. If the fact that a league Of ma
tons will not be a certain guarantee against war ia a
sound argument against the creation of a league of ma
tons, then the fact that we have occasional riotous out
breaks and other acts II violence is a good reason why
there should be no government.
The league Of nations will tend to prevent war IN
Just the same manner in which organized national gov
eminent tends to maintain domestic order. And there
is every reason to believe that right from its inception 1t
will be fully as successful as were the early efforts Of our
ancestors to put an. end to private fighting when they
first undertook to bring about a measure of order in hu-
man affairs.

couldn't we just go around by the

political complications which might
conceivably, influence the foreign re.
lations. of the three countries.
In spite of much Indifference on
the part of the peoples and more or
less pronounced opposition on the part
OF the governments, the scandinavian
e did not sink into oblivion. The
past generation has witnessed many
attempts to re-vivify the movement Of
the earlier period. and Throughout, the
three countries there are men and
women who still refuse to believe that
the idea Of Scandinavian unity is aes-
tined to perish. RI
Solidarity Felt Necessary.
Some of these thinkers who are of
n caliber which stamps a nation and
a period, have found considerable
announcement during the time
elapsed since the outbreak Of HE
world war.
Recent developments in Scanai-
navia have led many to feel convinced
that an actual federation may be close
at hand, and they base their belief
Upon the fact that never before in
their history have the three countries
felt more intensely the need Of abse-
Lutte solidarity.
1t is generally conceded that the
scandinavian movement has had its
chief sponsors and supporters in Den
mark because that county, geo:.'
graphically and politically exposed to
Prussia, needs the protection which
strength united affords. Sweden, too,
has felt the need because OF her pre-
sumed dangerous proximity to Rus
STA, and since 1905 Norway realizes
that in the cultivation Of ever more
the road to national solidarity. AT
one time Finland was spoken OF in
connection with the prospects Of a
united Scandinavia. but distinct racial
differences between the Firms and the
inhabitants OF the three other coun-
tries have gradually quieted such
talk although It issnot dead.
In order to realize what is the pres
ent trend OF opinion, 1t will be neces-
nary 70 briefly Examine some happen
ings In Scandinavia the. last four or
i1ve years, as Tar. as their relation, to
increasing solidarity is concerned. :.
German Attack Expected.

pected world confagration was about
