EXCISE BOARD DEFUNCT.

With a constitutional amendment
prohibiting the sale of all intoxicating
liquors and with a law enacted by
congress defining as intoxicating all
liquors containing more than one-half
of l per cent, we do not
see hat there is any business
left for an excise board to do. No
license is needed to sell non-intoxicat-
ing liquors. AS well might it be in
sisted that soda fountains and orange
ade stands obtain a license as to try to
regulate saloons hat remain open for
the dispensing OF the ~so-called near
beer" If any ~saloonkeeper sells stuff
stronger than soda water or near
beer" he does so at his own risk. If
the government agents catch him he
must take the consequences.
AS City Attorney Goldberger points
cut in his opinion on the matter, the
excise board cannot license the sell
ing g Intoxicating liquors under the

FOR THE GAMES GOOD.

In several cities recently investi-
gators have exposed gambling con-
ditions existing at baseball parks. 1t Is
well and good such disclosures should
come. Pitlless publicity Of the kind
means much for the future of the
game in the United States.
Al one police judge said: "Gamb-
ling of large sums by professional
gamblers on baseball games must stop.
Even IL It does not dis
honesty among the players, it at least
throws the suspicion of dishonesty on
them and on the games. I will promise
to fine heavily anyone brought before
me, caught gambling at the ball park"
A mighty good statement. Baseball
has thrfyed because of the very
absence of anything of the kind. But
II has started to appear in spots. XIII
1t before 1t gains any headwsy and
baseball will be saved.

WORKING FOR FUN OR FOR
BUSINESS

In = circular Just received lauding
the work Of one Of the numerous
schools which place almost sole em-
phasis on tho Idea Of pleasure in
school work. the statement is made
that the children in this school have
learned to work for the fun Of
working" and we are told that this
principle is utilized all the way from
the kindergarten to the college.
That the child nus develop inter-
est IN his work. IL that work is to be
successful goes without saying. That
much school work which has been
mere drudgery may be made pleasant,
with great beneft to the child, is also
beyond question. But that pleasure
should be set up as an ideal, and work
be considered a b~y-product is one Of
the most mischicvous doctrines ever
preached.
In the reaction from the system
OF teaching by rule Of thumb and ruiz
f, ing with a rod of iron there is a
~
tendency in many quarters to rush to
the opposite extreme, and just as
surely as some Of the old excuses
created resentfulness and emb!tter-
nlent, and tended to- ~brutalixe. SO
surely will excess in the other direc-
ton produce a generation Of spineless
~mollycoddles, devoid of purpose and
character, and without object other
than to extract from life the maxi
mum of futile entertainment with the
least. possible effort.
The child who is not taught that
there is something in life more inn
portant than pleasure Is not being
well taught. The child who is not
required to perform duties because
they are duties, and. no because they
are pleasant, is being denied an ele-
ment Of training which is necessary
to him, and to which he has a right.
There. are too many persons who
come to US as the bearers of educa-
tional messages from on high who do
not understand that human life is not
passed in an incubator. and that if it
were, it might better be snufred out.
Grand Forks herald. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1916-1955, 1920-11-29
OF POWER.

The person who holds the balance
of power occupies a position general
" supposed to be desirable. In a
body evenly divided a small group can
, exert AN influence altogether dispro-
portionate to its numerical strength.
It is able to force concessions, first
from one side and then from the
other. v The knowledge that its in
fluence can be directed in either way
compels the leaders on both sides to
constitute it.
The balance Of power is often an
important element in legislative
bodies. and in not a few cases it has
been the determining factor in popu-
lar elections. 1t is q power which po-
litical organizers in all times have
sought to apail themselves.
This fai.Jr was used in the Gre
alton of the N~onpartisan league. Elk
listing for political purposes alone, it
was made a basic policy that the
league should not be organized as a
political party. Instead, it was to
form an independent body whose in
I1uence should be brought to bear on
the activities of both the existing
parties, in the hope that it could
dominate the policies OF both and
largely determine the selection of
candidates in both.
+ T,ero~&., .~, n,>a> l..:.- 49,. ,,.N.+
general campaign to organize The
womcn OF the country along the same
lines, SO that instead of being partic-
tpators in the actual work of existing
parties they should dictate the char
acter OF this work from the outside.
These are but two illustrations of a
tendency which expresses itself very
often, and occasionally in rather inn
Dressive form.
The term balance of power" is a
Figure of speech derived from the
familiar ..teeter''. Of childhood. The
plank is conferred on rs support, witt
ono person lit either end. A third
person standing in the center, BY
:traasseIrins his weight. can sway the
pink u:o crJdown. AS a political de-
vice the principle may be used with
sons tisni:. Farmers, mechanics, WON,
en-. Goeeors. merchants, lawyers, anG
I'LL yial rest, may form associations Of
their own in the. hope otswie!ding the
balance of power. 80
Fit L all these people crowd to the
center, who is going to sit at tho
ercs? We must have somebody
somewhere, to do constructive work
and take the responsibility for it.
