Economic Leadership.
At no time have we had more able
leaders in economic life than today. At
no time have we been more certain that
the fiber and intelligence Of our peo-
pie furnishes vast reservoir Of such
leadership adequate to the future. But
able administrators, skilled workers.
professional and moral leaders cannot
be made by birth or money. They cam
not be selected by divine right or
through bureaucracy. Nor can their
ranks be filled from limited class. Our
leadership can be found and it will be
sympathetic to our ideals II We MAIN
tain the decency and dignity of family
life through a stable economic system:
If we maintain free and universal edu-
cation and thus provide them the open
stair to leadership; il we maintain for
every individual an equality of oppor-
tunity to attain that position in the
community to which his character and
his ability entitle him. Then our sup
ply of leadership will stream forward
of its own impulse. 1t Is in this in
stance upon an equal chance and free
road to rise in leadership that our
great American experiment has departed
from those of history. It is our sure
guarantee of the future. In its vast
possibilities is the hope of every mother
for her boys and her girls.
Under such leadership replenished
constantly from the great mass OF our
people We can aspire to a democracy
which will express common purpose
for the common good. We can build a
civilization where national conscience is
alert to protect the rights of all, cur
tail selfish economic power and hold to
the ideal of distributed contentment
among the whole people.

At such a time as this change in

may lightly think-only choice be-

The motion picture is concerned with
drama, and drama is concerned with

eliminate God and mans belief in God,
therefore. is to ask us to eliminate one of

In fact. to ask us to eliminate God from

return from here with it. the officers
Inspected the contents, seized the
liquor and arrested the drummer.
A local man who was about to
board the south bound train last
week got so nervous when he saw
federal men watching his suitcase,
that he left it sitting on the station
platform and boarded the train. The
officers called him back and told
him that he forgot his suitcase, but
he denied owning it. When the off

creased that about five years ago
the schools we're transferred to the
thirty different branches owned by
the Company throughout the United

five years they have been held in
this territory DIT Fargo. This win

the school program, and the Plen-

being held in North Dakota and
northeastern Montana during the
winter months.
