THE FIvE.CENT CIGAR.

Former Vice-President Thomas

and witty things during his sojourn
at Washington. during which he made
tho country much better informed
than It had been that there was such
an Office as Vice-President OF the
United States. once challenged atten-

of the weed, and his pertinent COM

from thousands of smokers the coun-
try over.
The nve-cent cigar disappeared
when the country was sky rocketed
by the war in respect of prices for
everything. The grades OF cigars that
formerly sold at 1--WE cents were ad-
vanced to ten cents, and there We're
many complaints that tho brands suf-
fered In quality by comparison. SmolS-
ers paid the extra toll and sighed for
a return of the good old days.
Now they are said to be on The
way--to be here at least I'm Chicago
A manufacturer in that city is putting
out a cigar that retails for five cents
and he reports rushing business, with
orders coming in much faster than
he can supply them. SO at last one

MISS nOBERTSON'S VICTORY.

Miss Jeanette Rankin of Montana
was the first woman TO sit as a MEM
ber Of the American Congress, having
been elected to the House Of Repre-
sentatives In 1915. She gained notori-
ETY. by weeping when her name was
called TO vote on the resolution de-
claring war against Germany and then
voting nay. However, her experience
In the House melted her to an ambi-
ton 10 become also the first woman
Senator, but she met defeat as a can
didate for nomination at the ensuing
Republican State primaries.
Miss Alice Mary Robertson of Okla
homa is the only woman sitting in the
present Congress, having been elected
from the Second Congress district of
that State in 1920. Miss Robertson
had gained much popularity by her
success in conducting a large res
taurant. and by her general good
qualities. Her nomination by the Re-
publicans was at first regarded as
joke, but she soon showed, by her
conversation and comments, that she
was a woman OF sound sense. with a
realizing perception Of the best duties
Of citizenship. And the general Repub-
lican tidal wave of that election sent
her TO the House.
| During her service as a Represen-
tative thus far Miss Robertson has
made an excellent record. She has
not figured in general debate, but her
votes have been sound and intelligently
cast. She does not favor equal suf-
frage, notwithstanding her distinc-

COST OF STATE SOCIALISM.

North Dakota has good reason for
regretting It's experiments in socialism,
for the three years record shows no
practical benefits gained and decided
losses In taxation and increases in tho
bonded debt of the State,
The promoters of socialism ran the
debt up from 100000 to seven and one
half millions and added thirty three
and one third per cent to taxes, and
all that the taxpayers have to show
for the load are a State bank. n mill, an
elevator which cannot be operated with
out the expenditure of another million
and a lot of farm mortgages due In
thirty years. Further losses were i'm
posed by the collapse of the Non
partisan Leagues schemes for home
building and insurance against damage
by hailstorms. From every point of
view the people of North Dakota who
thought that socialism was the remedy
for all their real and imaginary troubles
have been disappointed.
The performance of North Dakota
however. is not without value. The
men who havo the bills TO pay probably
realize now that theories and promises
based upon the suppoSition that hare
and productive work Is unnecessary ar,
misleading. North Dakota Is a gooS
agricultural State: in "a good year 4
can produce n hundred million bushels
of spring wheat; other grains do well
and there is profit in stock raising
But individual effort is indispensable,
in securing the advantages OF soil an'
climate; putting the State into bust
| ness cannot give the farmers all tn
money they want. On the contrar,
/ the inefiiciency of political manage
-ment habitually adds to the financia
worries of taxpayers seeking relief.
North Dakota has given other State
l an object lesson worth remembering
