WRITES FORUM

A. N. Rowley, formerly of Valley
City, who was with the Stern Candy
Co., writes the Fargo Forum as fol-
lows:
Five years and one week ago today,
Arthur Townley brought forth upon
this prairie "The Dawn of New
Day." deceived in socialism and dedi-
Gated to the proposition that all farm
ers should divide equal. Now we are
engaged in great reconstruction
period proof that this league could not
long endure. We have met on great
battlefield of this state. We will set
aside a portion Of it as a "Flying
Field" for those who here gave their
$500 that the league might enjoy
sight seeing trips through the clouds
in Arthur's $4,000 plane.
It is altogether proper that we
should do this, but we cannot buy
more gasoline, we cannot buy Lemke
more homes, nor can we invest in
Florida lands.
The radical men who have here
preached this doctrine have now been
convicted. The world will little note
nor long remember what we say here
but it will never forget what they did
here.
1t is for us the living rather to be
dedicated here to the new change
which they so dishonorably made ne
cessary.
It is rather for US to be here dedi-
Gated to the great task now before us;
that we here highly resolve that this
league shall have died forever-that
this state under Nestos shall have a
new birth of freedom and the govern
ment of the people-not the league
but for the people: by the people.

GAVE TALL, ON 1.-THE
MASTER TEACHER"

Mr.. A. F. Benson: principal of the
Charles M. Baldwin Junior High
School, Of Minneapolis, gave a very
interesting talk to the students and
faculty during chapel last Friday
morning on "The Master Teacher"
Quoting from Mr.. Benson: upon the
young men and women of today who
go out as teachers depends the fu-
ture welfare of our country; as we
sow today so shall we reap twenty
years hence. We as teachers have neg
lected the greatest book on pedagogy
and co-workmanship the world has
ever known, namely the "Four Cos
pels."
The Master Teacher was born
among the GG%mon Raop and
rose thru individual effort. up until
the time He was thirty years old we
hear of Him only once, when He was
found in the temple and Of the last
three years that He lived not more
than thirty days have been recorded.
Yet as flash of lightning reveals the
thunderclouds so a few flashes of the
greatest life may reveal the greatest
things in that life.
The preparation of the Master
Teacher lasted for thirty years. If
we in our profession are to become
efficient, we must have preparation
such that will enable US to do the
highest type of work possible. Lack
of preparation has caused the world to
suffer dearly.
Sympathy was one of the many vir-
tues of the Master Teacher. 1t is the
golden cord that binds the ends of the
earth together; the oneness typical OF
the American home life. We must de-
velop true, intelligent sympathy and
not spineless sentimentality: We
must avoid "soul-dying" from lack OF
sympathy and whenever it is possible
use commentator rather than con-
demnation. It may be that we are
standing at the side of the grave of
killed aspiration and we must deter
mine whether we have been the means
of the killing.
We must not overlook the value of
individualism. The Master Teacher
could reach down into the heart of
every Individual and find there mug
get of good. Personality may be de-
fined as that indefinite something
which draws as a magnet the best or
the worst of US. We must meet the
child on his own plane Of intelligenc :
and then gradually lift him up. Ques-
tions must come from the person who
does not know and wants to know. We
must draw our illustrative material
from familiar things such as nature
affords.
GAS teachers we shall often become
discouraged but do not let your dis
enlargement overcome you: Think OF
the child as a spark of Divinity which
you are to help unfold from within
Do not forget the responsibility you
owe to the children of the state and
consider your profession sacred one
and not stepping stone to something
else."

NORTH DAkOTA'S WARNING TO
DEM AGOGIJES

North DakOLa mas demonstrated
anew the truth of the claim that the
sure cure for demagogy in politics is
the demagogue in power.
The demagogue in politics is fruit
full in promise and barren in perform
ance. The party that promises the
American people in 1912 and 1916 to
reduce the cost Of government and
high cost Of living, turn on a new
freedom, pulverize the plutocrats and
keep US out of war, wouldn't have
garnered an electoral vote in 1920 ex-
cept for the we'll known fact that
there are few states of the Union in
which the devil himself could carry
an election if his name happened to
be on the democratic ticket.
North Dakota listened to the voice
of demagogues. made the mistake of
putting them in power, and found that
while the camouhaged socialists Of
the Farmers nonpartisan party were
unable to remedy the wrongs and
abuses against which they inveighed
without creating greater wrongs and
abuses, these politicians were ex-
perts, as all political demagogues are,
in fattening the public payrolls and
boosting taxes.
The man in politics and public life
who seeks to array class against class:
who appeals to envy and hatred OF
wealth and promises the people that
he is going to strip the rich man to
clothe the poor, is manifestly dishon-
est in his professions Of special in
terest in the common people" and
can be depended upon to swindle and
exploit the public once he is given
the opportunity.
And that sort of demagogy has even
ceased to be popular, indeed it is be-
coming odious. The people are tast-
ing the bitter fruits Of such dema-
gogy at this time in political and
! economic chaos. The politician who
thinks the old game of batting bust
ness enterprise and bowling against
property is going to win, is lacking
not merely in honesty, but in the abil-
ity to be successful opportunist. .
If ever there was a time when it
would be not only honest but profit
able for men in public life to consider
public questions on their merits, rath-
err than by the usual standards of po-
litical demagogy, that time is now
Demagogical agrarianism has beer
whipped in its own citadel in NORTH
Dakota. The farmers of state where
there have been plenty of good rea'
sons for unrest, have booted the
Townley socialists out of the state
house.
The next few years are going to be
bad ones for the demagague IN Amer
lean politics. Courage, honesty ane
common sense are going to be popular
qualities in politicians for time a
least.
And for this let us, as Americans
concerned for the future Of this re
public, be duly thankful. The mos
dangerous menace to popular govern
ment is the politician whose position
on public questions represents a,
abandonment of conviction, Of genu
inc devotion to the public good. and i
based only upon cunning purpose tt

publican party but with the help OF
the loyal democrats of the state few
days ago it was recovered. There
should only be two parties the demo-
Gratis and republican, and if the radi-
Gals put in another ticket the two old
parties can preserve their organiza-
ton at the primaries and if they feel
like it fuse in the fall to beat the en-
envy. In any event if Sveinbjorn
Johnson, democrat, makes good in
his office as attorney general, after
shouldering the brunt Of the fight in
the late campaign, the Times-Reco
is frank to say that it will be strong
for Mr.. johnson and it will be strong
for any democrat who helps put this
old state back into the union. The
democrats have had a large part in
putting the state right and while the
republicans are in majority in the
state when it comes down to actual
party designation we feel that they
should be recognized for the good
: work they have done in the past. On
state issues we are not so hide bound
but what we can afford to reward
those of the opposite political faith
who have shown themselves to be
worthy of it. Citizenship comes ahead
of politics and when it came down to
holding up the United States flag the
democrats were there with bells on.

want to have victory parade on Ar
mistice day of leaguers and non
! leaguers as sort of bury the Ratchet
stunt. They suggest that the bitter
feeling existing politically be laid
aside and all hands join together in
helping to make North Dakota bet
ter place to live and to bring the pres
tige of the state back to what it was
before all this happened. The idea
| is a good one in many respects. The
; radicals of the league have been the
ones who have put North Dakota
| where she is today and that bunch
will have to be kept out of any victory
parade. Townley and his socialists
| were wrong during the war and did
all they could to hamper the success

ley is now in jail serving time for dis
loyalty Mr.. Pendray and his bunch
were shouting themselves hoarse ap-
plauding the attitude Of this man who
has been held up as little god to
the world We are willing and anx-
ous to have community feeling fos-
tered and a victory day parade in the
interests of harmony would be all
right if the radicals are left on the
outside lines. No American citizen
can march shoulder to shoulder with
men who favored the red flag in pref
erence to the stars and stripes and
who refused to buy bonds when the
country needed their help, and whose
orators like Kate Richards O'Hare
! likened our young men to the ''off
spring of brood sows." We want har-
mony and peace but we do not want
it coming from the radicals. If there
is to be victory parade let it be with
the understanding that all farmers
who were misled by the radicals and
who have seen the error of their ways:
come in and bury the Ratchet and
work together for the good of all
but let the leaders who have been re-
sponsible stand on the outside. That
IS where they belong.
