Dakota Non-Partisan League. 1t is claimed by
his opponents that Mayor Van Lear refused to
hid God-speed to the departing regiments and also
refused to sign the Anti Red Flag Ordinance pass
cd nv the City Council. This year he was again
candidate. He was defeated by majority Of
over thirteen thousand in favor of his opponent,
Colonel George Leach, Republican. During the
World War Colonel Leach commanded the First
Minnesota Artillery, afterward the 151st United
States Field Artillery. The regiment spent 248
davs at the front under fire, and the Colonel was
never absent from his command. He received
the Legion Of Honor and the Distinguished Ser
vice Cross.
The query was was put the other day as to
whether the other one Of the Twin Cities, ST. Paul,
has had a Socialist Mayor. No. It's city Com
mission also stands four to three against radical
ism. St. Paul, the older settlement, has never
shown so much radical tendency as has Mime
apolis. the larger and more bustling community.
In both cities, while the strictly party Social
lists are now comparatively few, the Socialists
formerly allied with the Non-Partisan League
still stoutly dominate the radical labor movement.
Though they claim IL out Of the 26 aldermen in
Minneapolis, the Socialist and the Non-Partlsan
wave is on the ebb in Minnesota as well as IN
North Dakota. The fact that so great city as
Minneapolis has given the radical movement such
setback should have its reflex in higher quota
lions for municipal securities, not only in Mime
apolis, but also in other Minnesota cities which
have been similarly threatened. The difficulty in
marketing North Dakota State bonds shows that
many investors are reluctant to put their money
in municipal or State securities where there is any
fear that city or State governments may be led
astray from observance Of the laws which govern
the financing of any ordinary business

Chas. G. Dawes, appointed by President Hard
ing as director of the budget, has taken hold of
his job in a way that indicates he is going to get
somewhere. There is more important post
in the government. Properly administered, 1t
can save the tax payers hundreds of millions ct
dollars The mass meetings of cabinet men,
bers and bureau chiefs called by Dawes with the
presidents approval, to impress upon them the
urgent necessity for the most rigid economy IN
every branch of government activity, was an
inspiring example of direct action for results.
Dawes idea seems to be that the way to econ
ony is to economic instead of merely talking
about it. Based upon Dawes temperament and
past performance, it is pretty safe to venture
the prediction that if the wasteful methods
which are the rule rather than the exception IN
Washington are not changed, there is going to
be a noise like riot in the capital city.-Mankato

In an article dealing with the recent flood IL
Pueblo in the June Is Outlook, the following para
graph brings home to all of us big truth which
we will do well to heed at present and in the fu.
ture-our turn may be next!
One lesson of the disaster is that it has
brought home to the consciousness of the
American people the absolute necessity of
maintenance of the Red Cross as National
resource in time of calamity Thoughtless
people sometimes question the necessity OF
the Red Cross in time of peace; here in
Colorado as beforetime in San Francisco and
in other great calamities, the readiness of the
American Red Cross organization to apply
it's organized effort instantly for humanity
has been splendidly exemplifed.

FOOLS.
Waits on a shle

A Common-sense Editorial by Bruce Barton.
-HIS is a true story of teamster who came
to dealer in paper and said II want to
4 be salesman"
For ninety days he pounded the pavements
without single order. Everybody else in the Of
flee knew we'll enough that there was no hope for
him; and even the merchant who liked his spirit
determined that he must go.
1t happened that the concern was overstocked
with certain grades Of tinted paper "1f you find
any prospects for tinted paper" said the merchant
to his statesmen, 1--WE are in position to quote a
very low price"
The older statesmen paid no attention; they
knew well enough that nobody wanted any tinted
paper. But the poor ex-teamster remembered; he
was grasping at any straw
So eagerly hopefully, he started out on what
was to be his last chance. AS he walked, he hap
pened to see an architect in big office making
plans on blue print paper, and he marched in
"Do you use much of that blue paper?" he
asked eff you do I'd like to sell you some."
The architect asked him for prices, and the
moor fellow went back to the office with a sample,
full of hope.
The merchant did not have the heart to hurt
him. He got price on blueprint paper, though
it was entirely out Of their line, added trifilng
commission, and sent him out again.
Today he is the most successful salesman OF
that kind of paper in the city and has built up a
tremendous business for his house.
All because he did not know the difference be-
tween blue print paper and blueprint paper, be-
cause he did not know when he was licked, did not
know enough to fail!
How much of the worlds progress has been
made by just such simple fools!
Fools like the Wright brothers who persisted
in trying to fly, though history was full of names
of men who killed themselves by such foolishness,
from Icarus down.
Fools like Westinghouse, who imagine that
train can be stopped by tanning air against the
wheels" as Commodore Vanderbilt scornfully
said.
"For Gods sake give me the young man who
has brains enough to make fool OF himself!
Stevenson exclaimed
I intended to pin that pious ejaculation onto
my sons application for college.
/ don't care how much he knows, so long as ne
don't know when he's licked; nor how cultured he
is so long as he never gets over the impertnent
habit of asking what and why; nor how deferentl-
al he becomes, if only he wont assume that be-
cause we old fogies have done things this way TINS
is the best way they can be done.
In these three matters shall hope that the
college will turn him out plain, sublime irrepres-
sble fool

So far as see women have the same
right to dictate a mans tobacco-usng policy a
man has to dictate how woman shall dress.
Neither of them will get anywhere and they might
just as we'll quit. We can't imagine letting any
man advise us about the proper skirt length-and
we are certainly not going to waste our time on
anything so futile as telling him all the terrible
things that happen to the worshippers of Lady
Nicotine.

Frank Day says he doesn't care if Harding does
split infntives and he wouldn't get the least bit
excited if he were to split the whole Republican
party Frank has been i'll and the heat has gone
to his head in his present weakened condition,
making him confuse the present executive with
Honest Abe who was the only really effective
splitter ever in the presidential chair. The fact
that Abe split logs instead Of nfnitives or organ
izations is proof of Abe's good judgment.

YOUR FRIEND

Though he that, ever kind and true,
Kept stoutly step by step with you,
Your whole long lusty lifetime through,
Be gone while before;
Yet, doubt not, soon the season shall restore
Your friend to you.
He has but turned a corner; still
He pushes on with right good will,
Through mire and marsh, by heugh and hill,
The selfsame arduous way
That you and he through many doubtful
day
Attempted still.
He is not dead, this friend; not dead,
But on some road, by mortals tread,
Got some few trifing steps ahead,
And nearer to the end;
So that you, too, once past the bend,
Shall meet again, as face to face, this fri
end
You fancy dead.
Push gaily on, brave heart, the while
You travel forward mile by mile,
He loiters, with backward smile,
Till you can overtake,
And strains his eyes to search his wake
Or, whistling as he sees you through the
brake,
Waits on stile
