GOVERNMENT AND

There is a note Of sound philos-
ophy, and truth in what Thomas
p. Marshall, former vice president,
said. while visiting ST. Paul yes
terday, in analyzing causes Of dis
content and unrest.
In Marshall's opinion. the trou-
BILE is more with individuals them
selves than with the government
and its laws. =

pressed my surprise-to think that
my motheY conventional and puri-

that there are things that she must

wondering. I've always been so sure
that Leslie keeps nothing from me.
I've always been so certain that
keeping ones secrets was purely
masculine prerogative, that the idea
was disturbing. must have shown
this in my face, for Mrs. Athe1ton

Zone of the most interesting
phases of life to me is the fact of
masculine egotism. Every man
thinks that ne is not only the real
custodian of his wife's soul, but the
repository of her innermost thoughts.
There's one part of the marriage
service that he takes seriously, and
that is that marriage has made him
and his wife one. He emphatically,
however, believes he is the one. If
he gets the slightest suspicion that
his wife has different opinion, mar

in his estimation"

PUSH WORK ON
/. @. O. F. HOME

Devils Lake, N. D., May 2O.-The
foundation and first floor of the
North Dakota Odd Fellows home for
the aged and her dependent children
have now been completed, and it is
thought that the building will be
ready for occupancy in the autumn.
The state building committee
contemplates making park of the
grounds surrounding the home, and
to eventually make it the mecca for
North Dakota Odd Fellows. The
building will cost in the neighbour
hood of 100000, and it is being so
erected as to permit of additions to
meet future demands.
y The Grand Lodge has purchased 80
acres of land for the building and
grounds, which are located at the
east end of the city, on the Roose-
welt Highway.

LETTER FROM JOHN ALDEN

! confess, Sgd, was little afraid
that Sally Atherton would shcck
mother with some Of her unconven-
tional speeches, but much to my sur
prise she Immediately made herself
very interesting. She asked mother
all sorts Of things about the family
tree, which, of course, was the mo st
flattering thing she could have done.
Also she. waxed eloquent over all
that old furniture that Leslie has
put into the house. particularly that
old desk that mother. gave to Leslie
as wedding present.
Mother told her that she was sat
isfied that desk contained a secret
drawer, but that she never had been
able to find it, and that Leslie had
not seemed to, either.
1T wouldn't be secret very long il
Leslie found it," l interrupted. "She
never keeps anything from me, you
know" ,t.,r.4.
ooh, I wouldn't be too sure of
that" remarked Mrs. AtherLon.
There isn't person in the world
that hasn't secret drawer some
where-some place where he or she
hides away things that they would
tell to no one, no matter how much
that one was loved. 1t may only be
a secret place in her heart"

edge such thing as a heart" /
could not resist remarking for her
ear alone.

head in confirmation of Mrs. Ather-

SLOW.COMING SATISFACTION

After many years, the Red Man
has turned the tables. The day
was when a white man felt entitled
not only to drive away any abort
gines who came into his region and
offended his sight. but also to drive
the Indians off their own reserva-
tons il the land was attractive.
Both practices were carried on
for a matter of centuries. They
involved a lot Of powder burning.
They are responsible for a number
OF monuments now showing the eff
feet of weathering.
A few days ago automobile trav-
eiers, held up at the Arizona Dor
der by quarantine against the
foot and mouth disease, camped
down on an Indian reservation.
The natives ordered the motor
lists to move on. And they moved.
1t is belated revenge, and not
very significant. But we suppose
