Editorial Comment
The Real Thing
Grand Forks Herald)

Grand Forks Herald)
Ardn,ore South Dakota, has the distinction Of
giving President Coolidge a taste Of real country
life, about the first opportunity that the president
has had to representative group of western
farm people in their ordinary environment and
acting with perfect naturalness. The rodeos and
other like affairs which he has attended have been
exhibitions, public entertainments staged with spe
cial reference to the presence of the distinguished
guest The Ardm0re picnic was similar in charac-
ter to hundreds of other gatherings which held
during the summer all the west, and the pro-
gram, apparently without intention character
ktic Of such gatherings.
II appears that Governor Bulow, out Of courtesy
to the guest of honor decided at the last moment
to eliminate from his address some Of the spicy
material which he had intended to use, and Senator
Norbeck, who had prepared something in reply,
was also careful of the proprieties. To that ex-
tent the program fell short Of being the real farm
ers picnic program. Yet it came close enough to
let the president see what western farm people arc
like when they at home and not on dress parade.
The speeches dealt, at least in some measure,
with cOntrovcrted political subjects The speakers
took opposite Sides and the assembled visitors were
quite dcmonstravc in their expressions of approval
or disapproval of what they heard. 1t was thor
oughly democratic gathering, and the people con-
Quoted themselves as free and independent Ameri-
cans, and expressed whatever sentiments they had,
with perfect freedom and with considerable en-
-phass,
President Coolidge is All eastern man. His bust
ness and professional experience has been entirely
in the east. He has had practically no personal
contact with the west. But is it not probable that
his visit to the Ardmore picnic would remind hin,
strongly Of gatherings which he has attended in
Vermont or Massachusetts,? In each case there il
the keen interest Of the masses in public activities
which are believed to affect the welfare of those
who attend. the championship of conflicting plans
by local leaders and the frank and undisguised par
tisanship of the audiences. 1t is more than likely
that the president will conclude, if he has not al
ready done SO. that human nature is much the same
in South Dakota,as in New England.

A Poet COunsels Statesmen

Poets are generally accepted with lifted eyebrows
by the great, strong, silent men who believe they
hold the worlds destiny within their hands.
Men who are not poets, however. but pride them
selves on their practicability, could well listen to
Dennis Mccarthy, of the great living Irish
poets, as he speaks en- a matter which he seems to
believe he express strongly in prose than
verse.
Mccarthy speaks of the murder Of Kelvin OIiig-
GINS strong of the Irish Free State
1T would be mistake" says Mccarthy, ITO be-
1ieve this deed authorized by political parties In
atmosphere of intense political bitterness, there
may always be found irresponsible men who, seek
ing the nearest way to desired end, are moved
without much hesitation to bloodshed.
IF each of the parties in Ireland could muzzic
it's own wild men and women, and if the same niuz-
cling could be applied in America, Also. the atn,os-
phere would be cleared of it's masnatic vapors and
q saner and healthier state of public opinion would
result in Ireland and everywhere"
If this poets truth about irresponsible men,
born and bred everywhere through no fault of the
leaders of various movements were really accepted
fewer national hatrcds and wars would be bred.

* bFRANCE 4. 4: -

a bit of an air raid in the vicinity
and IL other bon soldats squoze in
to the place, and did it handilN too.
The incident proved that architects
plans usually go awry, Mason says.
After the guerre Mason, Leonard

3OS6234, did a little writing, inclhd-,
ing a book known to the trade as
"Chevrons" and another, three On
One Match" Now he and Mrs. Ma.
SON and their three youngsters live
in a villa down near Biarritz.
Naturally, the sergeant combs his
old sectors for material for his writ
ings. And every time he drives up
to Montfaucon and RomagneI he
leaves his car and takes cut over
the fields to his dugOut. The farmer
that owns the property wanted to
do a little blowing there, but Mason
made deal with him to plant his
wheat all around the place and leave
the shelter alone. So now he can
visit it three times year, some
times four, and when he does he
squats inside, smokes a cigarette in
violation of wartime regulations, and
wonders how in Sam Hill IL brothers
ever managed to get inside during
that air raid.
