BILL NYE'S NEPHEW WINS

The farmers of North Dakota are sending Bill
Nye's nephew back to the United States Senate
Maybe Washington will laugh that off and
maybe Washington won't For Coolidge made
the issue in the Dakota campaign which ended
Wednesday and the voters reversed the majority
which they gave him two years ago.
Not only that but Nye-Senator, Gerald P, age
34-won on platform that will sound more radical
in Washington than the farmers plan of farm relief
which the Administration succeeded in killing last
week
This program, however doesn't sound SO radical
in North Dakota. It includes keeping the State In
the banking business the milling business the insVr
ance and bonding business, meat packing and man
ufacture of twine
The supporters of Nye claim that the State
owned bank of North Dakota has reduced the inter-
est rate on farm loans from 10 per cent to per
cent. That the Stateowned mill raised the price of
wheat 10 cents bushel while reducing the price of
-four So a barrel and made $1140O0 profit; that the
States Irvine factory made ST. 100000 profit; that the
States bonding fire and tornado departments made
$1,000000 profit that the State hail insurance depart
ment has saved the farmers $26 100000 in premiums
lot of sincere thinkers will be prepared to ar
que, in the ia Ncf any showing that North Dakota
may make, that t is bad business to have the Gov
eminent in business.
But even these must admit that the Dakota
farmers have got hold of one vital principle in their
efforts to solve the farm problem.
That lis this: That the farmer will always get
too little for his product and the public will always
pay too much TO it, long the present array of
middlemen stand between the farmers and the
public.
In North Dakota they have compelled the State
government to take over the role of middlemen in
some lines absorbing all the other prot-takers and
returning the profits to the people, through better
prices for the lower prices for the consumer
and reduced taxes for both.

Criminal Judge Collins Insists on Holding Regular Ar

paign. General Andrews should be
able to demonstrate whether the
Volstead Act can be enforced during
the next twelve months.
One weak spot, as he himself adj
mits, lies in the fact that even If
the diversion of industrial alcohol
and the sale Of beer are stopped,
people can still make their own
liquor by processes ana from ma

hibit.
No matter how successful the
Government may be in guarding
coast and border, or in putting boot
leggers out of business, there Is still
the possibility of millions of home
distilleries spelling it all. &
In challenging personal privilege,
we have necessarily challenged per-
sonal ingenuity and if citizens can't
get what they want through trade
ard exchange there Is always the
alternative of their turning to their
own firesides for relief.

You're happy-go-lucky and hearty

Then. after a while, you may grow
to feel proud, to think your stand

and it's fun being that sort OF a guy
But. say. after all, Is it that end
that counts? Though back.slapped

Don't throw out your chest on
