The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1921-12-22

Some Of the Scandinavian writers
are among the greatest dramatists Of
modern times. Bjornstern Jjornson
does not regard life as gloomy as B-
sen, he represents life as it is and be-
lives in a happy future. Ibsen presents
moral demands to humanity. He op-
poses the existing code Of morality
and uses symbolism.
Up to the present time only a few
members Of the human race have had
an opportunity to contribute in pic
turing human emotions, aspirations
and ideals. At the anniversary dinner
in honour Of Thomas Paine in New
York City in 1912, Lester Ward,
Americas greatest scientist and soci-
ologist said: when men were ia the
political struggle they imagined that
when their political rights should be
attained the millennium would be here.
But they found it was nothing Of
the kind; that they had not reached
any such state, but that there was an
other great struggle to be gone thru
A- -.E 80 ~ =
the economic social struggle confined
itself to the third estate rising and
overthrowing the first and second es
tates. The struggle Of today is in the
direction of q contest for the attain
ment Of social and economic equality,
and it is the effort and the part Of the
fourth estate, the mass Of mankind,
to ecu social emancipation.
According to Victor Hugo the time
will come when the U. s. Of Europe
and the U. S. Of America will extend
their brotherly hands across the ocean.
Exchange their commodities in peace
and harmony, and realizes finally the
goal set by Christ "Peace on earth,
good will to man."
Then the poet Of mankind will be
the representative leader, insipirer
and prophet Of the human race.

Hegel termed komanticism the con

ing to Henry Heine the pink Of Ro-
manticism is not a color Of health but
of consumption.
Byron is the greatest poet Of the
world grief" notwithstanding his
hopeless negation, he is an idealist de-
tending human rights. Goethe was a
bright, shining star far above the hor-
lion Of his contemporary mentally
sick, while Byron grew up with them
and reflected the struggle between
reason and surrounding circumstances,
and the struggle for political freedom
and national Independence against
despotism. In Shelley as in Byron we
find a fusion Of romanticism and pes
simism. Shelley believes in the per-
petuation Of existing ideals. Byron is
realistic, in whom we find a pulse Of
real life, while Shelley is q metaphy-
sicist and panthesist.
The sickness Of the age was favored
by social and political conditions. The
identical state of mind among poets
was caused by conditions. They regard
their society with hate and raised
their personal sufferings upon q uni-

In an effort to discredit the Indus
trial Program, the /. V. A.. leaders at
Bismarck have salvaged the Equit-
able Audit Company report and dust
ed it off, so they may present it to
the people as the latest "horror' Of
state ownership Of industries. The
propagandists Of the New Admins
tration fail to admit that the figures
they place before the public are prac-
tically the same as have already been
made public a number Of times in the
past.
No, one denies that the little Mill
at Drake lost money during the terri
BILE onslaught, IN grain prices that has
been in rraglass during the last year.
All small mills did, whether state
owned or otherwise, but with private
institutions, the consumer will be
made to pay the bill as usual, and
lasts years losses will be made up in
a future years. profit. This is true
in all lines Of private industry and is
one of the main reasons why the cost
of living refuses to come down. Man
ufacturers are loaded up with high
priced stock and refuse to decrease
prices until the public have taken it
off their hands. The mill at Drake is
not intended to make money. No state
industry is. State industries must re-
alize their profits, if any, out of the
pockets of the people, just the same as
private industries. They should be
conducted at cost, and if unavoidable
losses occur, due to the fierce attack
always waged upon them by the cor
porate interests, the people should re-
member that they would have suf-
fered all losses sustained in this par
ticular line of industry if operated by
a private institution, and in addition
would be clamoring for state owner
ship instead Of fighting it. The report
shows a loss Of twenty thousand dol
lars from January to October, and
lays great stress upon the fact that
much flour was sold to the Consum-
ers United Stores Company. This
flour was sold on condition that it be
paid for when sold to the farmers and
was so paid for. I. v. A. propaganda
lists seek to discredit the League ad-
ministration because it allowed the
Drake Mill to sell flour to the Con-
sumers stores, only because this COM
pany was owned by the farmers them
selves. If the mill did not sell to the
farmers stores how would the people
have obtained the flour? Private
merchants for the most part refused
to sell it under any circumstances, and
when they did, usually attempted to
charge additional prices. The report
concludes with a paragraph Of advice
to the Industrial commission which
states that weekly reports should be
made by the manager of the mill and
that additional office employees should
be hired to properly handle these re-
ports, In view of the fact that the
1. ". A. have continually berated the
League Administration because they
insisted upon employing sufficient
clerks and other office help to proper
ly handle the state work, this feature
of the report can hardly appeal to
the new Industrial Commission.

poets after Goethe.
II would seem, that Romanticism
with its pathological symptoms, should
be. defeated and overcome; neverthe-
less it is natural that the world
grief" which corresponds III the be-.
ginning to the state Of mind Of rea-
soning humanity, contained many
wholesome and vital traits in it.
Lenan was the exponent Of the
world grief" in Germany. Mitcke-
svich and Slovatsky in Poland express
sed national and patriotic romanticism
modified by realism. They exhibited
the gifts of most conspicuous poets,
but political conditions were reflected
by them in the form Of world grief"
Lamartin and Shatobrian were imi-
tators Of Byron in France. Lannartin
followed Byron at the beginning Of his
lietrary career, but later fell under the
influence Of Shatobrian, and never be-
came susceptible to negative skepti-
cism.
Vinje, ii Of the greatest French
poets, became a pessimist, because it
was impossible to attain happiness on
earth; nevertheless he remained a be-
lever in ideas, and suffered manfully.
What had happened in other coun-
tries, finally occurred IN France and
it was pronounced that there were no
rules and models and that the fancy
of the poet cannot be called to account.
These French "revolutionists" used as
their slogan Mature and Truth" and
followed revolutionary times and
wars. Among these were Victor Hugo,
Balzak and George Zand.
Victor Hugo is a first class writer,
who attains achievements as q world
poet. He declared war on old literary
and art movements. He resembles
Goethe and Byron and had no fear of
his times. He became the exponent Of
the new generations and expressed
what concerned it, and what it tried
to achieve. Victor Hugo is a typical
representative Of romanticisln, who
saw the negative sides Of society, and
yet believed in amelioration by the
good. He reflected every human SOL
row and human suffering from a per-
sonal, social and political point Of
view. Hugo's foundation is realism, or
at least a pronounced tendency Of re-
alism, modified by romanticism. This
fusion of two opposing elements IN
PRODUCES into French literature a new
pronounced literary movement.
George Zand and Balzak embody ar
tistic idealism and artistic realism.
Ba1zak said to George Zand: @You
look for men as they ought to be,
while take them as they are" Equal
ity before the law and political free
dom were reflected in their work.
Similar to Victor Hugo, George Zand
exhibits a pronounced understanding
Of all who suffer, are oppressed and
exploited. Regardless of Balkaz's in
clination toward the supernatural and
mysticism, he is in reality the founder
Of Realism.

Two thousand wives and relatives
of striking miners stormed Mine No.
II of the Jackson Walker Mining
Company in Kansas, and prevented
the miners employed there from going
to work. This demonstration was q
protest against the Kansas court of
Industrial Relations which forbids
workmen to strike and keeps Mr..
Howett, Pres. of the United Mine
Workers of Kansas imprisoned be-
cause he advised the miners Of that
state to strike. After storming the
mine the women went back to Frank
lin, Kas. Reports to the sheriff of that
county indicate a renewal of the DEM
o~nstration in the near future. Women
in North Dakota who feel that the
fight here is hardly worth the effort
will do well to remember that the
workers in other states are up against
even a harder proposition when they
attempt to assert their right to live
decently and enjoy the freedom prom
ised to them by the American Consti-
tuition.
