among the sands and cactus. The
solitary passenger in the Pullman
looked eagerly out into the night,
then glanced at his watch. Frown-
ing, he drummed for a moment on
the window, then, lighting cigar
cite, walked toward the door.
The first thing one might have
noticed about the man was his great
size. Tall, large-limbed, with huge
shoulders and a chest that curved
powerfully beneath the tan tweed
suit. His walk, too, gave sense of
vast reserve power. the panther walk
of born wrestler. And next, as if
in softening contrast, one noticed
the friendly eyes of the man, the full
but firm lips, curving upward little
at the ends, just enough to relieve
some of the grimness in the square,
clear-cut jaw. He was a man one
might turn after in passing; a man
one would remember without quite
knowing why. About him one felt
sense of poise-a seasoned quality.
AS if life and perhaps sorrow had
given him a maturity beyond his
years. Yet he could not have been
over twenty-five.
Pulling open the door the man
looked down the track to where the
red lantern of a Aagman cleaned.
then vaulted over the rear railing Of
the Pullman. For a moment he stood
looking about him while the hot.
unforgetable breath of the desert
beat in upon him, bringing a mes
sage family, provokingly familiar,
He felt the soft. dry sand beneath
his feet. Behind him the tracks
glistened out over the desert, and

Again little vagrant wind stirred
the sands. Exultantly he raised bot
powerful arms above his head.
"Gad," he rejoiced, "the old deser

wild thing he shifted the air.
A sound above him revealed thu

Abusing a Good Thing
(DulI,th Hera1d)

AS theory the power of the peo-
pie to ignore their legislatures and
make laws by popular vote may be
natural step for democracy, but it
is a privilege that can be abused. IN
less applied thoughtfully and only
when legislatures fail to represent the
people who elect them. which, the
truth is, seldom happens in the
Northwest, the excessive use of the
initiative brings discredit and ridicule
be valuable.
The fact is that the average citizen
has neither the time nor the inclina-
ton to study laws and their effects
even if he has the ability, and SO
when he goes to the polls he votes
largely on hearsay or prejudice.
Several states have made this mis-
take, and North Dakota is just now
offering another example of it. At
the June primaries large number Of
initiated laws were submitted to the
voters, among them one outlawing
crop mortgages by the farmers, and
another proposing five-year mora
forum on all debts in the state. The
law outlawing crop mortgages was
passed and that proposing mora
forum was defeated.
Immediately large numbers Of
farmers saw that in forbidding mort
cages on crops they had hit them
selves serious blow, for loans on
crops are often necessary for seed
and other farm expenses; it also ap-
pears that the new law bars them
from the benefit Of recent federal
aid legislation, for the government
cannot make loans without security.
The result is that petitions are now
being circulated to repeal the crop
mortgage law at the November cleo
ton. If the new law passes it will
nullify the act passed in June.
The defeat Of the moratorium law
has also displeased large number
and petitions are out to again put
that dangerous plan up to the voters
in November. The only change Is
that this time q three -year morato-
rum instead Of one for five years Il
proposed.
Evidently North Dakota farmers
have very little confidence in theil
legislators, even though it Is said thai
all signs indicate that both house.
next winter win be controlled by thu
Nonpartisan League. They are Of
; course making mistake. The aver.
, age legislator Of any party is much
better equipped to pass on laws thar
the average voter.

For a moment a shadow of disap.
pointment crossed the mans face,
then he laughed. "Well, I've been
fifteen years making it. A few hours
delay won't be fatal. Verdi junction
is four miles from town, isn't iii"
"A good four miles. The juno
TONS just tin shed and two pairs
of tracks. Rest belongs to the coy
otes." The conductor looked dispar-
agingly out into the distance. "It's
an empty country. Mexican borders
only half a mile south of here. In
daylight you can see the boundary
posts and sometimes a patrol of
Mexican cavalry"
"What are they for-ornament7"
"Oh, this part of the worlds al
ways been on a hair trigger. There's
still occasional rustling and knife
carving. Right now the Verdi coun-
try has one bandit nobody's been
able to get. Seems like there always
will be hell popping wherever there's

call you just before we hit the june.
ton"
But to the man It seemed only
few minutes after he had closed his
eyes that the porter was plucking at
the sheets. Through the halt-open
window, a faint. eery light glowed
over the deserts edge. and the chill
of early dawn lay in the air. He
dressed quickly and as the train
stopped ran down the steps.
The conductor had been right.
Verdi junction was nothing much.
A hitching post. q weaving, rutted
road, and, beyond, the brown sands
of the desert dotted by the dull
green Of mesquite and cactus.
Already the passengers trunk had
been swung to the ground. In an
other moment the Pullman lurched
forward and the long line of cars
pulled away into the red of the sum
rise.
Alone in the austere immensely OF
the desert, the man looked ABOUT
him. No one in sight. No one to
meet him. Near She tracks wood
en- sign confded that Verdi lay four
miles to the south, but his eyes, fol-
lowing its direction, settled curious
ly on black object at the top of =
little rise. In the glowing light it
resolved itself into a long open car
there in the middle of the road. Out
lined against the sky the machine
doomed up like some derelict specter
abandoned in the midst of the desert.
No one at the wheel. The thing was
simply there. empty and naotionless
and inexplainable.,

Growing Pains

Proof that Democracy does not
come easily to any people may be had
by a brief look at the situation which
prevails in Germany.
For years, under the kaisers, the
German people were told what to
do and did it without question. While
the leadership was competent the ma
ton grew in Importance until the
day finally came when der Tag"
of world dominance seemed just
around the corner.
Then came the World war, ulti-
mate defeat, the abdication of the
kaiser and formation of a republic.
Political freedom and responsibility
came to people who had been
trained through the centuries to look
to ruling class Now they were their
own rulers.
AS has been true in all similar Cir
cumstances, liberty was mistaken for
license. Freedom was confused with
responsibility and ambition surged
to the front. Hence we have political
plot and counter-plot, the organiza-
ton of the Nazis and numerous other
manifestations of political youth
which were to be expected under the
circumstances.
A modern touch is the development
of a sort of gangsterism in the effort
to achieve political ends, supplement-
ed by the effervescent activity of a
people playing with political toy
which still Is new. America can take
little pride in the fact that some of
the methods used, such as firing from
moving automobiles and hurting
bombs into peaceful houses, smack
more strongly of Chicago than of
stolid Germania.
The German government can do
no less than deal harshly with what
is manifestly a critical situation. The
cause of good government always suf-
fers when violence is substituted for
legal action and Germany is no ex-
ception.
Nevertheless, the rest of the world
should withhold its sneers. France
had her revolutions when blood ran
like water as a forerunner to its pres
ent stability. The early political
campaigns in America frequently
were accompanied by bloodshed.
There are many still living who can
remember when a .setto at fisticuffs
was the common outcome of a politi-
cal argument.
The truth of the matter is that we.
ourselves, have been through the
same trials which Germany now is
suffering. There is every reason to
believe that Germany will come out
of them stronger and more firmly
united, just as we did.

A Real Outlet

When North Dakota farmers look
at the flaxseed quotations they are
likely to utter silent prayer for i'm
provement in the paint business,
chief customer for flaxseed. There
was a time when flaxseed sold for
five and six dollars a bushel as COM
pared with the present paltry prices,
but in those days the paint business
was booming.
Judging from the price of flaxseed,
it would seem that the paint business
is in bad shape, and yet Dun's re-
view, one OF the nations most relia-
BILE trade commentators, asserts that
such is not the case. It's analysis

The Modern School

A NEW school of makeup has come
into being with the new millinery
and with the vogue for color and more
color in costumes. One does not wear
the same makeup with a brown suit as
with a blue. or a green, and with a
red dress still another type of makeup
is worn, including hpstick that
matches the dress as nearly as possible
And because there are many new reds
in dress there are an equal number of
new shades of lipstick.
Rouge. according to the latest ideas
in makeup, is really the least impor-
tant aid to beauty. Eye makeup and
lipstick are Of far greater Importance,
although it goes without saying that
rouge should be chosen to harmonic
with the other cosmetics used But
when you are wearing one CT those lit
tie hats with a flirtatiouS veil, you sim
ply must have eye makeup of the right
sort.
Eye shadows are put on the upper
lid, near the lashes. II the eyes are far
apart, start near the nose and let the
shadow be heaviest there. II the eyes
are near together keep the shadow away
from the nose and blend 1t upward and
outward.
Eye shadows now come in bronze,
which gives extraordinary depth to the
eyes, especially to those that are green
gray or hazel. Black eye shadow is al
most never used, even by brunettes.
Blonde women use green or violet eye
shadow, depending on the color of the
dress, and black or brown on the lasnes
The very exotic type may have blue OF
green lashes In the evening. And when
applying mascara. remember that two
brushes are essential, one with which
to apply it and the other to remove the
surplus and brush the lashes and brows
into silky sickness.
