THE VOICE OF AUTHORITY.

The voice of authority is usually recognized
when its declarations are made with emphasis and
sincerity.
In the great railroad strike in which the A. R.
U. sought to tie up transportation from one end of
the country to the other the attempt was made to
prevent by force the movement of trains. State
authorities. then as now, in some cases, tinid, time
serving and evasive, for one reason or another failed
to give protection to those who were trying to OPP
crate trains. The national character of transporta-
ton was not then as we'll recognized as it has be-
come since, but there was one branch of it which
was national beyond all question, namely, the mail
service. When the attention of President CleYe-
land was called to the fact that the movement of the
mails was being obstructed, often by force, he de-
clared that he would carry a postal card across the
country if he had to use the whole United States
army to do it. That declaration fixed a basis from
which there has since been no departure. There
were complaints and protests against the use OF
federal troops, as the statement was made, for the
coercion of labor, but the president was. firm. He
not only declared his purpose to use troops wherever
necessary, but he did use them, and the fact became
established that no matter what the dispute, there
must be no rnolestation of those engaged in carry
ing the mails. That lesson sank in, and it has never
been forgotten.
In another strike President Roosevelt declared
that law and order precede force; that he would do
anything for labor except what was wrong and that
he would truckle to no force of labor in wrong de-
mands.y Roosevelts frmness and positiveness con-
WINGED all persons concerned that he was neither to
be coaxed nor bullied.
Both presidents had the reputation Of being
stubborn. But other stubborn men have failed to
have their way. Cleveland and Roosevelt spoke
with the consciousness of having the authority of
the United States behind them, and that is an au-
thority which command respect.
President Harding, differing in temperament
from both these predecessors of his, yet speaks out
@ith equal 6rmness when he says:
1T is fundamental to all freedom that all men
have urquestioned rights to lawful pursuits, to work
and to live and choose their own lawful ways of
happiness" rsst.

MORE ABOUT HAY FEVER

The plants which cause hay fever
have in%conspicuous flowers. The
disease Is caused by pollen. The
only pollen which causes 1t is that
which is wind borne.
As a rule Ito which there are ex-
ceptions) the hay fever plants are
useless source Of injury to crops
and OF loss to farmers.
Occasionally a cold or modified hay
fever results from sticking an odor-
ferrous flower to ones nose. but such
attacks are not properly termed hay
fever.
The hay fever plants Of one section
are not those of all sections. There

district where there is hay fever. The
requisite Is that he change to a place,
where there are. not many OF the
plants which give him hay fever.
Roses, goldeArod, lines of the vail

odoriferous, and insect t~po1linated
flowers do. not cause hay fever. The

POPULAR" GOVERNMENT.

Christ Flegel, of Klum, who is touring the state
starting local organizations for the relief Of famine
sufferers in Russia, knows a good deal more about
the conditions in Russia under Soviet rule than does
the average North Dakotan. He is a native of
southern Russia, has revisited his old home since
coming to this country, and has brought with him
many Of his old neighbors whom he has been able to
get settled on farms in North Dakota, and to be
placed on the road to a greater prosperity than they
had ever before known.
The old conditions in the sections of Russia
with which he is familiar were often hard, but sell
dom cruel. The peasant, the villager, the local
artisan, were all safe in their homes and in the
possession of that for which they had labored. The
usurpation of power by the Bolsheviki changed en-
tirely the conditions Of living.
Mr.. Flegel has been in. frequent communication
with friends in the old country, and they have writ
ten him at length Of the deplorable conditions under
which they now live. The p~easantry and villagers
as a rule were not sympathetic toward the Bolshevik
movement. But that movement was forced upon
them. Local Soviet officers, ostensibly representa-
tive of the local population, were in reality selected
by the higher powers, and they ruled with a rod OF
iron. Farmers were compelled to deliver to the
Soviet officials so much Of their products that they
had not enough left for themselves. If the Soviet
orders were resisted they were enforced by the
mercen4ry soldiers whom the military masters al
ways held in readiness, and the shooting of a few
peasants was usually sufficient to induce obedience
in the rest. If a more impressive example were
needed, the population of an entire village might be
marched out and shot, and this was frequently done,
The statements made by Mr.. F1egcl come with
authority, and, being made to him by people whom
he knows, and who themselves have seen and suffer
ed the results Of Bolshevik rule, they are sufficient
tosmake any who hear them feel more kcenly the
fate Of these sufferers in ! far-of land.

today there are no less than 5000

4 quarter of a million men and wom-

real Joy Of living by getting regularly
out into the open country with no 9TH

The city Of New York has taken off,
cial notice Of the movement. On three
occasions recently Mayor Hylan has
congratulated the boys and girls of tho
public schools upon their enthusiasm
In taking up the new sport of hiking.
In his dedication Of the great new pub
lie playground in the Bronx the other
day Mayor Hylan extolled the athletic
tendencies Of the boys and girls and
Impressed upon them that there was
no better or more profitable way in
which they could pass their vacations
and utilize their holidays than by the
excursions into field and forest of their
walking clubs. lie gave the same
message to the Amateur Athletic Tn
ion OF brooklyn few days later, and
when club OF East Side boys and girls
visited him nj city hall preparatory to
hike to the tomb Of Roosevelt at
Oyster Bay he assured them that the
best walkers among them would make
the best citizens.
