a! Change Of Front.

a year ago, the State Of North
Dakota was offering a bond issue at
par which paid 5 3-4 per cent. The
State administration was then in the
hands Of the Nonpartisan League, and
both Western and Eastern bankers
refused to underwfite the issue. Some
IT the bonds were sold directly Is the
public, but under serious difficulties as
opponents ef the Nonpartisan League
tried to discredit the stability Of the
State and declared the bond issue
wasteful and unnecessary. This OPP
position propaganda was given wide
publicity in the press which is almost
wholly hostile to the progressive move

Walter Rathenaulwas one Of the few
Statesmen whom Europe could not
affordato lose. He was one of the very.
few men who had carved careers for
themselves il the pre- war Europe,
made good during the war, and yet
readjusted Themselves to the changed
conditions Of postwar society. As
head Of the Allgelncine Elektrische Ge-
sellschaft he directed one Of Germany's
two or three greatest Industries; during
the war, while constantly at odds with
his Government, he first preached the
need for utilization Of raw materials
and then put the doctrine into practice;
he was one Of the first to accept the
German Revolution and Germany's
defeat on the battlefield as facts and to
bid his countrymen adjust themselves
to them rather than waste stheir
energies in sterile protest. He Had a
vision Of zsa cooperative new society
which won him the hostility Of his
FORMER associates in big business; he
had = vision Of a new Europe in which
national hates and rivalries would die
down. This he tried to translate into
reality first in the Loucheur- Rathinau
agreement for reparations in kind
which the greed Of French Industrial
lists kept from its full development,
and later3in the Russo German treaty.
Add to these visions and realities the
fact that he was 2 Jew and held high
Office, and you have the chief reasons
for the implacable hate borne him by
the old German Nationalist. So he
is assassinated, following in the path
Of Karl Liebknecht, Rosa uxemburg,
and Kurt Eisner, Socialists, and
Matthias Erzberger, moderate Catholic.
Tt takes courage to lead in Germany;

Charity.

day American life, is not, in our
opinion, very desirable thing. The
whole system of charity work, as it is
conducted, is degrading to the charact-
er of both the giver and receiver.
There is q better than-thou" feel
ing inculcated in the giver, which
grows with each time contribution is
made. On the other hand, stigma
attaches to the receiving of charity
which, however, has the tendency to
make the recipient calloused, so, to
speak, after he gets used to receiving
something for nothing and aftera while
he expects it as matter of right.
A truer charity would be to arrange
to keep all who can work employed at
safe wages SO they can earn 4 living.
III the long run, this would be much
cheaper to society. as whole than cur
present system Of charity. It;were far
better to employ 100 men half day
every working day at full day pay than
to employ SO all day every day and
then have to support the other so
through charity. Society pays the
bill either way.
The present system breeds sdiscon-
tent and lawlessness. : The frst law
Of nature is self-presetystion. Hungry
men will steal, and il they steal once
because they are hungry. they are apt
to steal again because they got away.
with it the first time and find it an
easier way,safter their character is
broken anyway, to steal for a living
than to work for q living. This in
turn forces the cum bersome machinery
Of laW~enfo forcement into action with
its consequent expense to taxpayers.
Any person who will stop and da
little real figuring will soon find that
we were pretty nearly right in our half
day proposition above

chance to work for decent pay, and still
have some time for self-improv
and enjoyment, would be happy and
satisfied people. That doesn't mean
thatwe would then have no crime, that,
human nature would suddenly change
and that everybody would be good.
But it would be; great improvement
over present conditions, no doubt.
Some people would still continue to
steal and murder, but the greatest

Such an arrangement would Of course
be taken advantage Of by:a few, but,
