STATE SOCIALISM

Nobody outside of North Dakota will seriously
object to the Townley experiment in state Social
ism now processing in that region as long as it is
not permitted to escape prematurey into the saner
outland provinces.
The trouble with Estate Socialism, in America
is chiefly in the effort of the Socialists to try it,
on every "dog" at the same time. California is
worrying under the Wisconsin or La Toilette
variety mixed with the 'pure democracy" inflicted
by Hiram Johnson and his band of Progressive
uplifters.
AS long as North Dakota desiressto make an
example" Of itself in this regard ''horribe" or
otherwise, it may be permitted to do 50. If the
experiment is successful it may be adopted by
other states; if it is failure, we may rest assured
that nobody else will tackle it. We know of no
people better fitted to endure the calamity of state
Socialism, or to enjoy its ideal blessings, than the
North Dakotans. We do not believe, however, in
spreading the contagion until we have observed
the permanent effect upon North Dakota 1t may
be as harmless as measles, or it may be as viru-
lently fatal as the influenza-but we prefer to
let North Dakota conduct the clinic.
The supreme court has been called upon to de-
eide whether North Dakota is in legal accord with
our form of government. That ought to be easy.
But, apparently, whenever state undertakes to
govern itself in compliance with the will of the
majority, the minority rushes to congress or the
supreme court or the constitution with objection
and demand for final decision compelling the
majority to forego its theoretical perogative of
self-government and elf-determination. If the
highest authority decides that the state can gov
ern itself, this minority Immediately takes steps
to "amend the constitution" depriving the state Of
its previous reserved" rights.
We hope that the supreme court will decide
that North Dakota can have state Socialism, or
any other fool thing it Graves in the way of self
government. We hope that North Dakota will
exercise its state rights to the limit. We want to
see what will happen to North Dakota, so that the
rest OF us may avoid it; and in the case of those
who have already adopted some of it, abandon it.
The experience of North Dakota may not prevent
others from laundering through the same slough,
but it will serve as warning sufficient to deter
everybody from taking the plunge ct the same
time. Let North Dakota Socialize herself to the
bitterest end.-San Diego Union. n

boy long long ago, he sold newspapers.
"And every night he would sell a paper to- {;
man they called bartender.
He wore white apron, and worked in place
they called saloon, and he sold things to drink
to people.
HE had "a regular trade and rlcr would every
afternoon gather there and laugh and sing and
talk and play cards. and lots of them stay up till
way late at night"
What made them laugh and sing papa?"
THE drinks There was something they called
whisky, and something called beer, and-um let $
see what was that other drink-oh yes, there was
boilermaker's cocktail; but don't know what
they put in it. But it made men act crazer than
anything else
"And was that all the man did, just sell things
to drink?'
Eyes, that was all he had time to do; why he
opened up long before sun-up, and stayed open
until after midnight, selling drinks to people,
"But didn't anybody work then, papa?"
"Oh yes, men worked, but they didn't let that
interfere much. ~ >,...-
"And in this saloon there were big bright pic
lures, and rows and rows of bottles, behind long
counter that had brass rail in front of it. And
there was q hot lunch table, where anyone could

thoven Choral Fantasy, Op. 80, for pi-
ano, chorus and orchestra The first
performance was at the Vorstadt Thea
ire, in Vienna, on December %, 1903,
when a benefit concert was given for
Beethoven, the programme being made
up entirely of his compositions. There
are several interesting accounts of tn.
concert, one writer stating that the (
minor symphony was to have been
given, but was dropped insfavor of the
just finished fantasy, which was, how
ever, completed so late that there was
not time for sufficient rehearsal. In
consequence the performance was very
rough, and in one place it was necessary
for Beethoven to stop the orchestra
and begin over again. The programme
was of enormous length, consist
ing Of twelve numbers, and included
two symphonies, the pianoforte con-
certo N G, piano solos and works for
chorus. There are many sketches of
the fantasy in the Beethoven notebooks
and several forms of the piano intro
duction exist, the present one having
been Written in the latter part of 1909.
