nally the Labor party is in authority
but only nominally. 1t must do to please
the Liberals, or else not do at all. The
Liberals may not propose in many in
stances, but they can dispose on all
occasions.
In short, the Labor party Is holding
the reins of government on sufferance.
Premier Macdonald and his colleagues
are not strong enough. numerically, to
act independently. Without the support
of the Liberal side they could, and per-
haps would be defeated on any PROPOSE
ton they might present.
Prior to the recent change in the gov
ernment"-the enforced resignation OF
Premier Baldwin and the appointment
of Ramsay Macdonald to fill the vacancy
thus created-the Liberal and Conserva-
tive parties had a additionally common
enemy. Both had regarded the Labor
element as dangerous. But political
animus between the old parties became
so bitter that they would not unite their
forces to avert the catastrophe" of a
Labor government.
The Liberal leaders must have calcu-
lated, far in advance of the recent change,
that their "best bet" lay in suffering the
so-called radicals to step forward and
undertake to solve the problems which
had been aggravated by the growing
jealousy between the "safer" factions.
Political observers at first predicted that
the Macdonald ministry would be short
lived. But of tate they have revised their
original estimate. One of them said
recently that he would not be surprised
if the Labor government would endure
longer than had any of its recent pre-
decessors.
Whether Premier Macdonald was
speaking from the heart, or was merely
recognizing the political limitations inn
posed upon his party by the strength of
the Liberals, when he declared that he
had no intention of taking any radical
steps, is one of those questions which
a mere observer cannot answer. How
ever, it may be put down as a certainty
that the British government under the
direction of the Labor party will
at no time be more radical than the Lib
erals. for the highly practical reason that
the latter can defeat any measure that
the Macdonald group may propose.
1t may be, then, that the Labor party.
with its protestations of comparative
is making virtue out OF
a necessity. Wouldn't it be tale to
set before the king if by this process
the problems that have harried Britain
for years should be solved?

BOOKS

The local Carnegie library, like every
other organization in this we'll advertised
and press ACCENTED land, is putting out
its own organ now. 1t is timid sheet,
small and unobtrusive, and on the days
for it TO circulate, the attendants at
the desks stick it into all the books that
are taken out. 1t tells OF what other
libraries are doing. of the worth of
books and the reading Of books, and of
the place books take, or should take in
life.
In all walks of life, people read more
than ever before in the history of the
world. Papers and magazines are is
sued in such quantities that serious
thought has to be taken at times about
the continued supply of wood pulp out
of which the paper is made. The book
publishing business, large one, EN-
ploys thousands of people in the mere
mechanical details of publication. Ii
braries encircle the globe. All this &C
tivity is to supply the increasing de-
mands of people who read and read.
Nothing deters it.
DulIIl lilC wal d NdSl vi
the libraries of all countries sent books
almost to the front line trenches. The
American Merchant Marine Library AS
ISOLATION sees that men on long voyages,
out of the reach of newspapers and maya
zines, have books and good books to take
up their spare time at sea. The sailors
pore over Conrad and Melville and Jack
London. They read autobiographies Of
great men and books on politics and
government, science and invention
Poetry and drama, art and literature are
theirs for the taking so that they may be
translated into the larger spheres o.
life, which, of course, is the main pur
pose of books.
To amuse, to supply the individual
with a fairy world, a love world, or
world of romance and adventure as com
pensation for a lack of these things il
a narrow personal existence, is pur
pose worthy enough. But still large
field is that of furnishing the means TO
a better understanding of life.
Books attempt to do this. They rep
resent thought. detachment and $50
lation necessary for interpretative o
creative work. They seek to solve, t
isupply reasons, to recreate values, t
search out principles and philosophie
OF life.
1t is not surprising then that thos

WHEN THE OUTS" GOVERN

An interesting political situation, from
the world standpoint as we'll as from
the British, exists in England. What
would the casual reader of foreign news
say if he should hear someone seriously
assert that the Liberal party controls
Britain's governmental affairs? Doubt
less he would regard the author Of the
assertion as a Rip Van Wrinkle just
coming to. Yet for practical political
purposes the Liberals do run the gov
eminent of Great Britain, although they
are not nominally Gin power"
Theirs is a negative control. Nomi.

Ellsworth ''Fit" to Lead
The Republican Party.

Of the men in the Republican
party who, either have filed or are
being talked about as possible can
didates for nomination at the
primaries, former Congressman
Franklin F. Ellsworth has the best
chance both at the primaries in
June and at the general election
next fall is predominant.
The following sketch of Mr..
Ellsworth's career may be of in
terest to many of our readers, who
are desirous of becoming acquitted
with the man whom. we believe,
will be the next governor of Min
nesota.
Franklin Fowler Ellsworth was
born in St. James, Minnesota, on
the tenth day of July, 1879. He
was educated in The schools of St.
James and later attended the Uni
versity of Minnesota, adding legal
Law Bachelor to his name. He
enlisted in Company H, 18th Min.
nesota Volunteers at the beginning
Of the Spanish.American war.
After his return from the war he
married Miss Surhne Mae Bader
of Minneapolis on July the 9th,
1902. Iu the same year he was
elected city attorney in it. James
and served as such until he was
elected county attorney in 1905.
In 1915 he was elected congress
man to represent the second dis
trict and served in that capacity
for three consecutive terms during
which time he always stood for
service first, last and-ah the time.

Especial to The ToMAHAwK3
Today the Subj Committee of the
House Indian Committee took up
for consideration the two bills in
trodnced by Congressman Knutson,
Nos. H. R. u and H. r. %. The
Sub Committee was composed of
Representative Hudson of Mich,,
Chairman, and Representatives
Roach of North Dakota, and Hast
ings of Oklahoma.
H. R. 27 appropriates $422, ,931.-
Oh with interest thereon at the rate
of 5 per cent per annum from Feb
ruary 1923 to the date of settle
ment. This is designed and in.
tended to be a full and complete
settlement with the Indians for
100, ,944.9 SO acres of the 3l2,659. "a
acres embraced within the. Mime
sofa National Forest Reserve, and
also to compensate them for part
of the timber on the five and ten
per cent reserved for reforestra-
ton. The bill proposes to pay for
the land taken at the rate of $1.25
per acre, and to allow the Indians
interest on the total amount from
1908.
H. Il. % appropriates $1,O6O,-
S77.7O in full settlement for all
jack pine and hard wood on the

It is the intention of the De-

cerned.

INDIANS GREAT sCALPERS.
Narragansetts Excelled in Art of
Detaching the "Cowlick."

From the Baltimore Sun.
Roger Williams, writing of the
tribe of Narragansett Indians. in
1643, says:
"Timequassin: To cut off or be-
head-which they are most skilful to
do in fight: For whenever tbey
wound and their arrow sticks In the
body OF their enemie, they Uf they
be valoreus, and possibly may) fol-
low their arrow, and falling upon the
person wounded and tearing his head
a little aside by his Locke. they in
the twinkling of an eye fetch off his
head though but with a sorry knife. !"
Scalping was occasionally perform
ed as an act of torture, but was COM
monty merely the taking of the whole
or a part of the hair and skin of an
enemy's head as a trophy to show
that the possessor had slain foe
man.
1t was only necessary to take the
little part on the crown where the
hair radiates, the "cowlick." !" This
part was demanded, because there is
only one such place on any given
head, and, therefore, cheating was
eliminated
