AN EDITORS FATE

An editor died and slowly wended
his way to where he supposed a warm
reception awaited him. The devil
saw him and said: "For many years
thou. hast borne the blame for the
many. errors made in the paper. The
paper has gone, alas, for 81 and the
81 has often failed to come in. The
printers have deviled thee on Satur-
day night for wages when thou hadst
not one cent to thy name. Men have
taken the paper without paying for it
and cursed thee for not getting it out
better. Thou has been called dead
beat by passenger conductors when
thou hast shown thy annual pass to
envious gaze. All this thou hast
borne in silence. Thou canst not come
in here" and he fired him. "Heaven
is his home; and besides, if we let
him come in here he will continually
dun delinquent subscribers for our

WHY McCUMBER FAILED

The defeat of Senator McCumber in
North Dakota, after a long service
that had carried him to the headship
of the powerful Finance Committee
and to position of great influence in
the Senate for his State and for the
Country, is an unfortunate by-product
of the peculiar political condition in
North Dakota.
The fact that Governor Nestos has
been renominated by a large margin,
shows that the Nonpartisan League
movement has been definitely repudi-
ated by the people of the State. Why,
then, was Senator McCumber reject
ed?
The chief reason, we believe, was
his own failure to take an early and
definite attitude of opposition to the
League movement. Not until the pres
ent campaign has Senator McCumber
emerged from the twilight zone. Two
years ago he was accused of conniv-
ing at the candidacy for Senator of
Frank White, which made the election
of Senator Ladd, the League candi-
date, possible. Color was lent to this
accusation by Senator McCumber's
subsequent support of the appoint
ment Of Mr.. White to be Treasurer of
the United States.
But whatever the truth may have
been about the. maneuverings of two
years ago, the fact remains that, when
the people Of North Dakota were ris-
ing in the recall election last fall to
throw off the Nonpartisan League in
cubus, to free themselves from the
burden of it's maladministration and
its experiments in state socialism, Sen
ator McCumber did not come forward
and boldly cast in his political for
tunes with them. He balanced him
self on, the fence. He did not show
that quality of moral courage which
invariably wins the admiration of any
American public.
Apparently there were enough Re-
publicans in North Dakota who could
not forgive Senator McCumber for his
political trimming, to make his re-
nomination last Wednesday impossible
Political trimming is the great bane
of American public life today. 1t &C
counts for the shifty inefficiency of
Congress, for the lack of real leader
ship in either House. When will men
in public life learn that the people
love and admire a leader with moral
courage, even though he makes mis-
takes, and that the trimmer is de-
spised and rejected, as soon as his
lack of moral courage is discened ?

THE TYPE OF MAN NEEDED

North Dakota loses a public servant
of the type it needs when w. B. De-
Nault retires from the management
of the farm loan department of the
Bank of North Dakota.
Mr.. Default was drafted for the
job. He accepted it at considerable
personal sacrifice and for a limited
time only, because Governor Nestos
sorely needed somebody with adequate
training and experience in the farm
loan business to reorganize that de-
partment of the bank. Mr.. fDeNault
has served out the term he promised
to serve, and he leaves an efficient
and smoothly functioning organiza-
ton behind him. He has brought or
der out of chaos in the department
and has instituted business systems
and business methods.
It is unfortunate that public service
offers such meagre rewards that it
seldom attracts able and trained ex-
ecutives except on the basis of max
ing a personal sacrifice from sense
of duty. Salaries are too small and
tenure Of office too uncertain, and the
hope OF advancement through merit
too slender to attract ambitious men
to any but those offices which carry
considerable personal prestige Many
men would make sacrifices in a bust
ness way to be governor or senator,
but not many men would desert a

Mr.. Default has done a good job
for the taxpayers and is entitled to
their appreciation and gratitude. -

The weekly times-record. (Valley City, N.D.) 1912-1922, 1922-07-06

The Times-Record is in receipt of a
circular pamphlet from the National
Association Opposed to Prohibition,
carrying on the outside the phrase, "a
code of law based upon a lie shall
sooner or later be dashed to pieces by
the invincible power of truth. This
sentiment is very worthy one but
its effect is rather lost in the reading
matter contained on the inside. They
state that prohibition has completely
broken down, justice and liberty have
been forgotten, the constitution has
been mutilated by fanatical minor
ity, and considerable more of the same
sort of rot. We do not believe that
prohibition has entirely broken down,
although the attractions of the law
are numerous, nor do we believe that
the prohibition law was made a part
of the statutes by minority. Under
our laws constitutional amendment
must be supported by majority of
the people before it may be placed on
the books. This was done and we be-
lieve that if the people had another
chance to vote on the proposition it
would carry with as large a majority
as before. Of course the pamphlet is
an attempt to stir up sentiment
against prohibition but the statements
contained in the pamphlet, claiming
that prohibition has raised the taxes
100 to 300 percent, increased divorce,
failed to raise the price of farm pro-
ducts as promised, and has failed to
bring the prosperity promised, are too
ridiculous to need an answer. We do
not believe that many people will
change their opinion of prohibition
thru the reading of such pamphlets.
