H WATERS FINE.

Following the announcements by Messrs. Gron-
ma and McCumber of their respective candidates.
for the senatorship comes the statement that a sim
liar announcement may be expected in the near
future from c. A. Johnson, Of Minot. MI. Johnson
has not been heard from in politics of late, but, he
was quite active a few years ago, and made i~nefec-
tive efforts to be elected governor. A this writing
it DOES not appear on just what facts Mr.. Johnson's
candidacy is to be based, and it will be only fair to
wait and see what he proposes before com
menting.
1nlthe meantime the prospects are good for a
rather liberal number of candidates. Gronna and
McCumber are actively in the field. It is next to
certain that there will be at least one or two others.
And the more candidates there are, the more there
are likely to be, for with half a dozen or more men
in the field it will take only a small number of votes
to nominate provided the votes are fairly equally
I%divided, and one never can tell which way the cat
will jump. There are doubtless several men who
will be willing to take a chance in a game of this
sort with a large number OF entrants who would not
thippk OF entering against only one other contestant.

SCHOOL ATHLETICS.

In a brief talk yesterday On school athletics
Coach Davis, OF the university athletic department,
discussed a feature which is often overlooked by the
general public. This is in relation to the influence
OF the athletic work that is done in the schools to
the student body at large. The attention OF the
public IS apt to be centercd on the things which ATE
brought most prominently before it, notably, in the
case of athletics, the big contests Of school against
school and college against college, and the impress
ssinn is apt to prevail that the entire energy of the
institution, in an athletic way, is devoted to the
building OF athletic machines which can win con-
ttests from those with whom they compete.
That this tendency exists is not open to ques-
t1nn, and the existence OF the tendency has led many
educational authorities to discountenzncc all inter
lenileg7zte contests and other contests which partakc
lhrgey OF the same element. But while in no small
number Of cases effort has been improperly cen
ualzed On the development m a school Of a few
~superathlctrs, that policy is most decidedly not the
enc hsuzed by Mr. Davis. He regards the athletic
department Of a school as an agency, not primarily
Tor the Development Of star athletes, but for the use
ini physical development Of the entire student body.
HIS opanion, stated III a somewhat different
form. IS that the CREATION Of a team that can beat all
corners is merely incidental to the real work of the
department, and wnlc it is interesting and ad-
!vantageous to develop teams of a high order of ex-
~eelledce, the real work of the department. is not to
be concentrated on that particular team, but dis
ftibuted throughout the-entire membership and
distributed through the whole year.
While there are dangers to be avoided in inter
tcollegiate and inter-school athletic contests, there
are also IN these activities advantages which must

character But it also tends to develop some of the
most desirable ones Greater effort IS called forth
and greater demands are made on the endurance

and on the qualities OF gentlemanliness and sports

REFERRING THE TREArEs

LII Gil d0o4O D. ~ SOaaC NAyS Ky IN Ii
-Four Power Treaty, Senator Lenroot, of Wiscon-
sin, suggested that the defeat Of this treaty before
the senate might result in the withdrawing of the
other treaties emau7ting from the arms conference
There is no way provided whereby this treaty
could be submitted for the decision Of the voters in
the forthcoming election 1t is possible that con-
gress might direct the submission of the question
or questions to a plebiscite in which the voters
could record their opinions for, the guidance Of the
senate Such a vote would in no sense be binding;
for the ratification of a treaty Is the function Of the
senate, and OF the senate alone, under the c~onsttu-
1ion- No act of %coqgr9ss, no popular vote, can
change this situation, so that under any circun1>
stances the only thing that could be done would be
TO have an advisory vote taken and the senate be
allowed, as it is now, to do as it sees fit
MI. Lenroot did not indicate the manner in
which he expected such a referendum vote to be
taken, but he may have meant that the election Of
next fall would hinge upon this treaty. In a SINH
lar manner President Wilson proposed two years
ago the submission of the Versailles treaty to a
Solemn referendum" The result was anything but
satisfactory The vote which was cast has been
Versailles. treaty, In fact it was nothing of the
sort
The result Of the election in 1920 was inAuenc-
ed by a number Of causes, some of them local, some
of them national, some of them purely personal, and
it is a well known fact that the average voter in that
election did not consider that he was voting for or
against any treaty. He was voting for congress
man, senator and presidential candidate and was IN
fuenced III doing so by all the numerous considera-
tlons which surround an election.
If that be true in this case the senatorial candi-
dates will be supported or opposed, not particularly
because ofAtheir attitude on any OF these treaties,
because a the manner in which their entire record
has satisfied their constituents and because Of the
peculiar developments Of local state. politics.

TO the general public would be implying an evasion
or an attempt at evasion by the senate. 1t is the
siuty OF the senate to measure these treaties on their
rnsrIis and accept the full responsibility for what
ever action they take Unfortunately everything

WORSE AND MORE OF TT.

The morcythe work of the. late Industrial COM
mission IS Investigated the worse it appears. The
report of the audit of the affairs Of the Mil and
Elevator association shows in detail many facts
which have been known only generally. with in
creased losses from various causes, and still more to
follow. ~
Qne thing which has hampered the work Of the
auditors is the lack Of proper records. In some cases
it appears that no proper records have been kept.
In other cases there have been records, but it has
not been possible to find them. When the audit Of
more than q, year ago was made the auditors ell
deavored to ind some of these missing records, and
were referred from Bismarck to Drake, and from
Drake to Grand Forks, and from Grand Forks to
Fargo, and SO on. Everybody has some impression
that there had been some records, but thought they
had been sent on to- some other place. The result
was that the records were not found, and for the
facts which should have been contained in those
records the investigators were obliged to make such
bic, Tor the rest to make the best estimates that
they could. ..s
III connection with the present report it is to be
noted that there is recorded a loss of $87, 900 in con.
INJECTION with the Grand Forks mill and elevator
iplant. As the plant is not finished that loss is due
to undue cost of construction. to price shrinkage
from the period when purchases were made, and to
similar causes. At Drake the situation is different.
here a gong concern was bought and put into
operation. 1t was operated SO actively that with
an average loss Of $1,55 on every barrel of flour
made, the state loses there some $8O,OOO. At Fargo
also, the managers succeeded in rolling up an ad.
ministrative cost of about 10000, which is. going
some for an institution which had not vet got dowu
to business except in the operation of one plant and
beginning the construction of another. ~

PAYING FOR THE DAMAGE.

There have always been a few individuals in
every community whose attitude is expressed thus
Don't you worry about me- If l do any damage
I'm ready to pay the bill" Because of his pro
fessed willingness to pay, the individual assumes
the right to run amuck through the community.
|defying every law and violating every regulation
which stands in the way Of his immediate pleasure.
Sometimes that attitude has been shown by the
man who insisted on permitting his dog to run at
large, TO the ruin Of his neighbours garden; some
times by the man who drove a$fast horse and GAL
NloPed IN along crowded streets: and in recent years
by the auto speeder who expects the world to move
out Of his way when it sees him coming.
Quite often this supposed willingness to nav
has been pure fiction. Not infrequently when pay
tnent has been demanded for actual injuries in
ficted there has been a decided tendency to haggle
over the price. Quite often, too, the means where
with to. pay have been Hacking, the pocketful Of
pennies which have tangled so loudly being found
quite inadequate to meet damage bills, to say moth
ing Of the bills of the grocer and the baker,
But, regardless. of willingness and ability to
pay, that attitude is an offensive one, and an insult
to every decent citizen. It is idle, of course to talk
about payment for the killing or manning Of a child.
there are scores Of other injuries for which no
compensation can be made. The flower bed which
is scratched up by a marauding dog has no CONNER
cal value, but it represents something to the owner
which has no equivalent in money. The auto
.specdcr creates a state of nervous tension on the
part OF scores Of people for which no payment can
be rlade, and for which there is no fitting punish
niert short Of 4 Jail sentence. And the supercilious
,attitidey which expresses itself in the challenge
above quoted is one which demands both prornpt
and heroic treatrnent. ~
