Never Again

A philanthropic lady visited an as
YUM not long ago and displayed
great interest in the inmates. One
old man particularly gained her COM
passion. "And how long have you
been here, my MANI" she inquired.
Twelve yearas," was the answer,
do they treat you well?"
yes"
After addressing a few more ques-
tons to him the visitor passed on.
She noticed a smile broadening on
the face of her attendant, ard on ask
ing the cause, heard with consterna-
tion that the old man was none other
than the medical superintendent. She
hurried back to make apologies. How
successful she was may be gathered
from these words: 81 am sorry, doc

POWER

I One of the current technical magazines-con-
tains a brief description of a wind motor intended
for farm use, the inventor Of which believes that he
has overcome difficulties which have hitherto stood
in the way of the more generaAuse Of wind as a mo-
tive power on the farm.
The windmill has been used for centuries with
considerable success for a very limited list of pur-
poses. Its widest use has been for pumping water,
this being a work to which an intermittent and vari-
able power may successfully be applied. Next in
order has been its use for grinding, for in this work,
too, when performed on a small scale, regularity Of
power is not essential.
Since the development of the electric motor and
the storage battery numerous attempts have been
made to use the combination of wind wheel, battery
and motor as a means of utilizing the enormous
power which passes by UNDECIDED every day in, the
moving air. Thus far, while individual plants have
been made'to operate with apparent success, the plan
has not been reduced t4a satisfactory basis. The in
ventor of the machine mentioned believes that he
has solved the problem. He has built a battery
which he says can be charged satisfactorily by means
of a windmill operating jim winds of varying velocity
and which, when fully charged, will deliver suffi
Gent current without renewal to furnish all the light
needed ON the average farm for eleven days. Inas-
much as we never have anything like that number
of calm days in succession, such an outfit ought to
prove very serviceable.
Of course if wind power can be used success
fully for the production of light it can be made tc
deliver power when and where wanted. The amount
of power to be delivered would depend on the num-
Der of wheels installed, and the cost would be little
more than interest on the original investment and
depreciation, as the actual operating cost is negli.
eibie.
In these days when the use Of machinery has
set the world to hunting for new sources of power
and when the end of our coal supply and oil supply
seems to be in sight, thought turns naturally t,
those great and inexhaustible reservoirs of power
the tides and waves, falling water and the wind.

ORGANIZING CALIFORNIA.

y. News dispatches from California announce
that the Nonpartisan league is holding a conven-
ton there with a view to organizing that state.
Whether or not the outfit which is getting busy in
the far west is. an accredited branch Of the North
Dakota bunch we have no means Of knowing, but
there are certain points of similarity between it's
operations and those Of the gang which operated in
this state.
Walter Thomas Mills, who was one OF the lead
ing spirits of the league in North Dakota dvring
1919, seems to be at the head Of things in California.
He is assisted by D. c. Dorman, who is North Da-
kota product, and it is indicated that several others
who assisted in farming the farmers in North Da-
kota are active in the California organization.
Most familiar of all however is the announce
ment of Mr.. Mills that a miini1num payment of $40
will be required from each fanNly.joining his league,
and that he expects at least 100000 families to join.
Thus a fund Of 81, 200, 900 is to be accumulated.
This is running true to the best shake-down
traditions of A.. c. Townley and William Lemke.

INDICATES NOTHING.

By a vote of 46 to Al, the senate has confirmed
the right of Senator Newberry to his seat. This ac-
ton was expected, although the vote was a little
closer than a good many persons anticipated. The
vote is not a vindication or an exoneration of either
Mr.. Newberry or those who assumed the response
blllty for the management of his campaign. In fact,
in confirming Mr. Newberry in the possession of his
seat, the senate places itself squarely on record as
disappearing the very method which was employed
in securing that seat, aud which was undoubtedly
responsible for the successor the Newberry cam
1paign. The senate denounees and deplores the ex-
|penditure of large sums of money in such cam-
patgns. Nevertheless, it seats the man who was
elected because of the pursuance of this plan.
The Newberry verdict is a party verdict, pure
and simple. All the Democrats who voted voted
against Newbcrry. A small handful of Republicans
joined them. All the other Republicans voted for
him. In any such case, there will be a few scatter
ing votes cast by men who do not care to be bound
by party lines, but the great majority of the mem
bers of either the house or senate are VIGOROUSLY
governed by their party affiliations. If Newberry
had been a Democrat and the same facts had been
ascertained with reference to the case, the vote
would have been substantially as it was; that is, the
Democrats-would have voted. to seat him and the
Republicans to unseat him. This is not a pleasing
situation to contemplate. 1t indicates that there is
a disposition on the part of the public men against
whose character no accusation can properly be
brought and who in all ordinary relations have a
high conception of duty, draw lines between person
al and political honor. The thing which would not
be countenanced as an individual act for Individual
purposes is considered pardonable and permissible
when the party element is involved. 1t is not con-
ceivable that the men who voted for the seating of
Mr., Newbcry in spite of the demonstrated fact that
exHavagant sums of money were spent in his cleo
ton would have voted to acquit him had they been
sitting as a jury in the trial of the same individual
on 4 criminal charge, provided the facts brought out
by the prosecution tended as strongly to supportits
case as they did in the case recently before the SEN
ate. Men differentiate between their duty as indi-
ernmental bodies and political parties, and it is an
unfortunate fact that the element of political loyalty
and the desire to maintain party solidarity should
carry men asfar as it does.
Il may be that the publicity given to the New
berry ease and the vote Of condemnation of the tao
tics pursued will operate as 4 strong influence to
prevent such methods in the future. Nevertheless
the fact that in condemning the method the senate
has seated the man, detracts materially from the
Itorce Of the resolution Of condemnation.
