9 i TRE DAILY TI ATU PUBLISHED BY THE ASHLAND PRINTING 00, A SH L A N D D A IL Y T ID IN G S OUT OUR WAY Welded Links in the Melting Pot Do you realize that according to the»U. S. census of 1920, there arc 1,023,225 Norwegians in the United States, either horn in Norway or ohe or both of whose parents were foreign born; and that according to the same census» -there are actual­ ly upwards of a half million residents of the United States who were bom in Norway? These figures become more significant when we realize that the jwpulation of Norway in 1920 was only 2,649,775. ' And*because of this sturdy element of Norsemen making up the one-hundredth part of America’s great “ melting pot,” it is fitting to call attention to May 17, Norway’s Constitution Day, celebrated and held dear by Norsemen wherever they may Be. Under its Constitution adopted May 17, 1814, Nor­ way became a constitutional hereditary monarchy, tho not by any means absolute, as the people of that kingdom exercised and enjoyed freedom and legislative power similar in effect to republics. This was due to a strong national character backed by a _ constitution. • . The Norsemen love their Constitution as Ameri­ cans love theirs. Jh fact, the strong individual tta- tionai character belonging to the people of Norway, combined with their conservatism, their develop­ ment in the arts, music and painting, their direct descendancy from the Vikings of old, their strength in the mercantile marine industry, (which until the l>eginning of the World War was exceeded only by Great Britain, Germany and the United States) means that all Americans can take from them les­ sons of strength and loyalty. To the Norseman in America a word of tribute is dne. Allegiance is born in him. On. A day of pa­ triotic celebration of an American historical event you will find the America« flag flying ia front of a Norwegian’s home, perhaps a little sooner thqfl his neighbor's flag is unfurled. When he speaks, his words are appreciative of American liberty and of American institutions. It is bom in a Norwegian to be patriotic, and he readily adjusts himself to conditions. Because of the sturdy, patriotic character of the sone and daughters of Norway, America has. added a strong fabric to her hatfondl life. Many men fail because they get into things of which they know little. But their greatest failure is because they can not be told so. It is a good rule that measures its own length. If one buys ever so fine a set of tools and knows nothing about carpentry, the tools will rust by his own neglect. If one goes into the dry goods business and has no capacity for tnerchaadising and no adaptability for dealing with the retail buying public, he is travel­ ing a long, hard and financially precarious journey. Many men fail by trying tq “ take over” a uews- paper, having no idea of what it meant» to get out a newspaper. While it is needless to continue pointing out examples of failure, and while we do not projrosc any “ rules for succeSs,” all will agree that men are eminently successful iu a lasting way are those trained for their jobs; men who stay on their jobs and stick to them. The “ soldier of fortune” has a good time for a while. He lives a hundred years in ten while it lasts; he sees a lot of the world, but you notice he generally winds up broke and in the shadow of the ¡»oorhouse. Iu other words, he wins but in the end he loses. He and his kind are “ color” 1‘Alimony for Husbands” . Governor C. C. Young, of California, has signed a bill pa-'i-d recently by the legislature providing ‘that a needy husband may collect alimony and Separate maintenance for himself and children d u r \g and after divorce. We are wondering whether this alimony business isn’t going a bit toio far. Laws -encourage marriage, hold the marriage relation «acred and protect the sanctity of the home; and this ““ alimony for husbands” law is is not going to scare out a lot of women from engaging in matrimony.
