That medical man, who is well known
as n neurologist. says that he has found
an increase in the number of narcotic
addicts since the first of 1920. He says
while it is perfectly true that narcotic
drugs will not supplant alcohol by pro-
ducing anything like the same results.

become so addicted to certain kinds or
cocktails that, when they found that they

these cocktails. turned to the rough
whiskeys and gins that are to be had
from bootleggerS at enormous prices.
The stuff thus procured was so vile that

that Waters would concoct some
scandalous stories and tell them in

Mr.. Waters telegram contained
both a plea and a menace. "Can

NEWS OF WEEK

Notice by the federal reserve bank
to the effect that rural loans will have
to be cleaned up directly after harvest
ought to be a great eye-opener on the
relation between business and politics.
Bankers and press writer's have some
nice reasons ready for the action. One.
has to have a little selling talk to sell
things these days. But the funda-
mental reason is this:
Northwest farmers are likely to hold
back their crops a little more than
usual this year. They have done a lot
of thinking on the monthly trend Of
prices. The big spectators, on the
other hand, want the stuff rushed on
the market and they know that they
can create the rush if they can get the
banks to call the loans. They. have
always succeeded in this before
through connections with the big cen
trail banks and many local banks. But
now we have the federal reserve sys-
tenn, and these market men don't be-
lieve in playing a ten-spot when they
have a joker; they are not men to do
things in a small way.
So they have whispered a few things
to official Washington, and this is q
campaign year. The farmers in gem
eral, on the other hand, are supposed
to be too ignorant to realize or resent
the fact that they are thus being
turned over to the market p~rofiteers.
Perhaps this time the market men
and the politicians will find that the
perfect play was = disastrous one.
Recognition Of General Wrangel as
constituting the de facto government
Of South Russia by France must have
surprised even the general himself.
He is 4 leftover from the evapora-
ten Of the Denekine expedition and
has his toes stuok in the mud OF the

Forum Put Him in Bad

If P. j. Harrington Of Bismarck,
acting in the capacity Of state adju-
tant for the American Legion, had
explained to the members Of the
North Dakota Press association dur
ing their recent convention in Fargo
"What the Legionaires Stand For
and Won't Stand For" his remarks
in such a hypothetical case would
heve some special significance.
However, if-and get the comec-
ton of this conditional term, H-if
P. J. Harrington, a member of the
Legion and private citizen, saw fit in
the scheme of things to give his con-
ception of "What the Legion Stands
For and Won't Stand For" his re-
marks were merely the opinion Of
ONE MAN. Under the latter cir
cumstances Mr.. Harrington might
show himeslf able to read the future
like one who has shared the gift of
the Gods-prophecy-but THIS fact
alone would not give him authority
to voice the opinions of the thousands
Of farmer boys in the state. legion.
The facts in the, matter are that
Mr.. Harrington did appear before the
North Dakota Press association in
convention duly assembled at Fargo
on Saturday, Aug. 7 and deliver an
address during which he made GER
tain statements with reference to the
past and present attitude Of the
American Legion, but in volunteer
ing these remarks, said MI. Harring-
ton was merely a private citizen, n
individual in some 40 millions, a
tiny grain of sand in a great desert
of infinity. =. "
MIR. Harrington is NOT the State
Adiutant Of, the American Legion, as
was falsely reported by the Fargo
Forum in its issue Of Aug. 7, and his
remarks p%urporting to deal with the
political attitude Of this organization
have no more Importance than those
Of any other Tom, Dick or. Harry.
Jack Williams in reality is state ad-
-iutant Of this body.
Mr.. Harrington might predict that
the Legion, for example, won't stand
for state-owned mills and elevators
O r the workingmen's compensation
law, but thousands Of ex-soldiers who
are heartily in favor Of the Nonpar-
tran League program would consid-
err that such remarks were colossaily
presumptuous and prove to him be-
ycnd a doubt that the organization
intends to stand for these REFORMS.
Happily, insofar as we know, Mr..
Harrington dealt in ~generalitles
mostly when he was enumerating the
THINGS he believes the Legion won't
stand for, and thus did not make a
monkey of himself by jumping from
the realm of the abstract to that OF
the concrete. -.
This is fortunate, indeed, for MI.
Harrington-because the Farmer-La-
bor members of the Legion in North
Dakota will probably do as they
please, politically speaking, irrespec-
tive of what he thinks they OUGHT
TO DO OR STAND FOR. -

Modern "Medicine Men"

Ever since the days of priAeva]
man the human race has felt the need
of medicine men," ssothsayers and
other supposed systematically en-
dowed persons who could cure dis.
ease, ward off pestilenee, explain the
phenomena Of echoes, prevent earth
quakes and persuade volcanoes to be-
have themselves. When the white
man first came to North America
from Europe he found the @medi-
cine man" to be one of the most inn
portant personages among the In
dams, ranking next in power, special
comforts and influence to the chief
himself.
In the earlier stages " civilization
"medicine men" were necessary some
times to keep the tribe together. Men
and women dur'n" these years were
ten times as superstitious as they are
today, and but for the timely pres
ence of the soothsayers, warriors and
suuaws alike might havesbeen fright
ened to death when they heard the
rumblings of distant thunder. If
any questions arose in their minds
about phenomena Of nature like
storms, or even the mysteries of the
Happy Hunting Ground, the "medi-
cine man" was always on hand to give
them a plausible explanation and lull
their fears TO deep.
AS man evoluted from a savage
into a barbarian, later attaining
our so-ealled civilization the function
Of the medicine men has constantly
changed to meet new conditions. In
Europe after the fall of the Roman
Empire he was a noble, continuing to
occupy this fortunate position in the
of feudalism. Scarcely had the long
scher,o Of things until the destruction
quarrel between the feudal lords and
bourgoisie been finally settled in
favor of the latter when the
"medicine man" suddenly bobbed up
again as a "fnancier," one of those
astute gentlemen who made the folk
believe they had no native financial
ability and would have to depend upon
him for aid, advice, comfort and in
struction regarding the mysteries of
buying and selling.
From the dawn of human history ii
has been the good fortune of "medi,
cine men" to escape work. They
have always lived on the fat of the
Land, enjoyed a snap and received
signal honors, all because of their
ability to impress other folk as men
of superior intellect and capacity.

When Lars o. Pjelle, a farmer of
Barret, Mimi, discovered Is skeletons
while repairing his house two weeks
ago, the interest taken in a discovery
of what is thought to be an old Scan
dinavian rune stone in 1898 in the
same neighborhood was revived. The
bodies had been buried under stones,
and the skeletons found appear to be
those of white men rather than In
dams.
Olaf Gilman, a farmer, claims to
have found the inscribed stone while
pulling stumps, and being a Swede
by birth he recognized the ancient
writing, although he was not able to
translate it. He sent the stone to Min
neapolis. where experts branded it as
fraudulent. Gilman then used it as a
doorstep for several years. In 1907
| Hialmer Rued Holland, a Norwegian
scholar, touring the country for his
torical material, translated the stone
as follows:
"Eight Goths (swedes) and % Nor
wegians are upon a journey Of dis
covery from Vineland westward. We
camped by two skerries n days
Journey from this stone. We were out
fishing one day. When we returned
we found 10 men red with blood and
dead. A. v. M. (Ave Virgo Maria)
save us from evil. (We) have 10 men

Tor 41> days Journey from this is
land. Year 1862"
Internal evidence would cen to be
against the forgery claim and would:
seem TO point to Scandinavian ex-
~ploration Of America wider than is
commonly supposed. The stone was
found not on an island but on a knoll
surrounded by swamp which probably
was a lake over 500 years ago, and
the white men would naturally choose
an island for protection from the
savages.
"a forger could hardly have hit upon
the phrase, tired with blood" to de-
scribe scalp victims. The ancient
prayer for aid is . Catholic prayer,
whereas Ssandinavians Of today are
generally Protestant. Again the voy-

Wine grape raisers of California in
the past year have passed from great
detection to the height of prosperity.
Inc detection came with the passing
OF the prohibition amendment because
the grape farmers figured that wine
was the object Of raising grapes and
with wine no longer made there would
be no market for grapes. Manv a
farmer mortgaged his farm to SUD-
port the anti-prohibition fight.
Three years ago a land buyer could
have had his pick of the vineyards in
many sections at 500 an acre. Now
ne could not look at a fairly good one
for seven times this price. In those
days of gloom farmers frequently sold
for a third of what they had paid for
their vineyards a few years before.
The explanation for the change is
the great development of the market
for dried grapes. The old price of
about $40 a ton on the vines has leap
ed to $50 and $40. And the explana-
ton for the market is probably the
considerable advertising and publicity
carried on during the war and since
as to the value Of the raisin as a food.
Great increases in the price of similar
foods have made the raisin a compar-
atively cheap food and hence popular.
The next step is for the SPECTATORS
to gradually kill this healthy demand,
which means fine returns for grape
growers, by boarding and overpricing.
Rumor has it that the amateur
booze makers S raisins to produce
some Of the hoped-for kick and their
needs may have had some effect on
the grape market.
