LETTER FROM NORWAY.
Norheimsund, Hardanger, Norway,
Feb. 9, 1914.
Editor Willmar Tribune:
The weather this winter baa been
very changeable. In the fall and first
part of the winter, we had a good deal
of rain. Just before Christmas we
had snow and then cold weather as
much as 17 degrees Celsius, or about
zero Fahrenheit. This was the cold
est we had here. At Voss they had
as cold as 31 degrees C. and at Ror
aas 40 degrees C. This cold weather
only lasted a few days and then we
had more rain and snow. At one time
we had about three feet of snow. It
was a pleasure to see it snow as the
snow falls down so nice and the trees
become covered, something we never
see in Minnesota. I have failed to find
a snow drift in Norheimsund yet but
this does not include all of Norway.
One evening I heard a strange noise,
at first I thought it was a thunder
storm and when I heard the same
noise again I went out and found it
was only the snow sliding off the roof.
The snow will lay on the roofs some
times twoQEeet deep and then when it
thaws, tjkjjt roots being mostly of flat
stone, It Bhdea^bff with great veloc
ity-
Lasigweek we had only rain here.
All the snow is now gone and there
is no-frost in the ground. They can
plow now^st-as well as in the spring.
I cannof^say that I like this rain but
it ma$es the winter mild. Along the
coast'the weather was very stormy in
the earlier part of the winter and also
just lately. Many steamers and small
er boats have gone unde||gnd a num
ber of people drowned.)
25th, four steamers wenit
far from Haugesund. ^yj$ne stesimeY
sank close to Masterhavn. All the
people were saved.
On January 30th, we got our first
lot of herring which was caught west
of Haugesund and reached here the
day after. It was nice large herring,
and was sold for 5, ore each, which
price people here thought was much
but which I am sure you would be
willing to pay ten cents for in Minne
sota.
Later on when they get more of
them of course they will be cheaper
here also. Fishing this winter along
the coast has been poor also in the
fjords but the next two months I
think will bring good results.
Last fall, there was voting on the
Samlag (saloonsj here in Norway and
in fifteen cities they voted them out,
eight went wet again and three did
not vote. This is a good record for
Norway. Some cities were dry be
fore. This does not mean that they
are temperance cities as they stih
have the right to sell wine and beer
The temperance forces will still con
tinue their work until this also has
been voted out. I believe they could
win out more but we find the same
carelessness here as in America. The
women have the power to vote but
they don't see their rights. I have
heard many foolish arguments in re
gret to this question about like what
we hear in America. One man said
to me, "If we don't buy liquor from
France, they will not buy our fish
Norway has borrowed a large sum of
money from France and for this rea
son are afraid. Still they are doing
well here.
I will give the names of the towns
and cities where the liquor question
was voted on. Vadso, Molde, Eger
Kristiansand, Grimstad, Larvik,
Tonsberg, Horten, Svelvik, Drammen,
Kongsberg, Honefas, Lillehammen.
Holen, Fridrikshold. All of these cit
ies went dry. Those who lost out
were the following: Tromso, Bodo,
Bergen, Arnedal, Holmstrand, Aas
gaardstrand, Drobak, Gjovik, Christ
iania did not vote on the question.
Stavanger, Aaksund and Throndhym
had them voted out before. It will
take six years before the next elec
tion but then we believe all saloons
in Norway will be voted out except
Christiania. There is more saloons
in Christiania according to the popu
lation than we have in Chicago which
means more work for that city.
Norway is coming to the rront fast,
both in culture and industry. They
have taken possession of many water
falls, the last one being Bjolvo in Aal
vik. It was sold to a company in
Christiania several years ago. They
did not have the capital to put up the
power plant, therefore sold it to a
syndicate. I believe it is French. To
put up the pipes, turbines and power
station, they will have to blast a tun
nel through the mountains from Bjol
sonaa to Furnfjeld which is about 2
kilometers. The pipes will be laid
from Furnfjeld to Skjaer, where the
power station will be. They are at
present putting up the line and station
for the electric light plant. They take
power there from the river. They are
also putting up the cable track to the
mountain which is very high and steep
for transportation. Three farmers
sold all of their land to the company
last fall for 80,000-100,000 kroner each.
Still they have thesr nouses and
enough land left to keep three cows
on. The fourth farmer who lived
nearest the sea sold all his farm four
years ago for 6,000 kroner to Director
Hjort from Christiania who bought the
river first. He had to sell because he
was too much in debt. Now he could
have received 100,000 kroner. The
small store and lot which he now
has near the sea he wants 60,000 kro
ner for but no one dares buy it and
compete with the company in business
as the company will have all their
business connected with the factory.
Sjur S. Aalvik has not sold -his land.
He has a small piece. There is no
hotel at present and the working men
are staying at his house. There are
about 100 of them and they work for
14c an hour, nine hours a day. It is
a large factory that is going to be
built, making Carbeede like the one
in Odda.
This summer they are going to put
in the electricity through Stensdalen
to Netland and Rosland also to Skool
keim and Skutleberg. Stensdalen
did not want to put it in last year
when they put it in here in Norheim
sund because there is a smaller wa
terfall (Stensdalsfossen) close by
and they want take their power from
there. Norheimsund wanted theirs
from Kaddestad River which they

Norheimsund's people take an active
part in all politics and mission work.
The young people's society expects
to build a house for themselves and
have their meetings there. It takes
them a long time to decide as some
want it and some of course don't.
What the society is working for be
sides this house, I have not been able
to find out but it seems to me they
have no aim for missions at least.
Last Saturday evening a supper arfd
lecture was given by Captain Mjelde
from Bergen and a song by Totland
Svarstad and Sandvold, teachers from
the Framness school They were very
good singers. Prist Christi was also
present. Captain Mjelde spoke about
the deficient fleet and the deficiency
of the forts here and how they have
to protect themselves against other
nations. The receipts of the supper
amounted to 350.00 kroner and will
be used to help the fleets and forts.
The ladies of the "sjomansmissionen"
had prepared a good supper and they
were dressed in Hardanger costumes.
The Bede Huse was nicely decorated
for the occasion and large crowd was
present. Some from Oistese, Harand
and 65 students from the Framness
school. The same work is going on
all over the country and Sweden is
also working in the same direction.

declared would give better power.
They need it too as tney furnish pow
er to Oistese and the Calcume Facto
ry at Porsmyr. Electricity is now
used in all barns and many houses
have a large lamp outside the houses
which lights the public road. Nor
heimsund is well supplied with lights.
It is like a little city when we see all
the lights in the evenings along the
bay. It has cost the community over
171,000 kroner for what they have
done so far. They have also bought
the farm of Olaf' Mithus Kaldestad
but made a bad mistake in the start
when they built the line. They were
forced to build it over again. They
were in a hurry and did not employ
experienced workmen. This mistake
cost them some 20,000 kroner. They
now have to borrow 100,000 kroner
in order to carry on the work this
year. They also need a larger dyna
mo.
All carpenter and blacksmith shops
here and Oistens are using electric
power except the carpenter at Salheim
and he uses waterpower. The hotel
keeper also uses water for sawing
wood and Mr. Skaav for printing He
is the editor of the Hordalan's Folke
blad. Waterpower is cheaper than
electricity. Here again they made
a mistake by putting in too small
pipes, which they soon will have to
rebuild. This same mistake was also
done in America. The experience
cost the community too much. Last
year it did not pay the interest on
the capital but they raised the price
on the light to make it pay. Here
they use no meters but pay a certain
sum a year for each house and then
they can burn all the light they want
to. Some also use electric heaters in
winter. In Odda there is a bakery
which uses electricity to bake their
bread with and they claim it is much
better than the old way.

THE DEFECTS OF PATERNALISM.
Editor Willmar Tribune:—
Mr. James Peterson in his speech
in this city called to my mind some
basic principles of government that
it might be well to think about.
Aside from all question of person
alities for state and legislative posi
tion, it is really a question of govern
mental policy. At present the tenden
cy is to have the State do everything
for the citizen—protect the citizen in
business, health, wealth and general
welfare from the cradle to the
grave—in other words, paternalism,
socialism and its inevitable, accompa
nying restriction of individual activi
ty.
We all have heard the arguments
advanced for this system—the old,
old argument since tne aawn of his
tory—that the simple ordinary man
don't know what is best for himself,
and therefore he must be guided and
ruled by the wise.
I -shall not attempt to. refute this
argument here. I will simply say
that real progressive reform for hu
manity has never in the world's his
tory come from the wise, but always
from some ordinary individual of the
masses, from Christ to Lincoln.
What I wish to point out, is that
there are certain defects inherent in
state paternalism as we see it today
in actual operation, wholly aside
from its standing as a principle of
government policy. Mr. Peterson
gave instances of what I mean.
Take the State Highway Board as
an example. We all want good roads.
The idea underlying the State control
this work, is to unify and harmon
ize a system of State roads. It looks
as though the state could do that work
better than counties and towns. Yet,
if Peterson's statement is true and I
take it for granted it is and if other
statements of wasteful contracts
are true, then the percentage
of the money from the taxes that fi
nally actually reaches the roads Is so
small as to make this state system
impracticable. The cost would be pro
hibitive.
Now why is this so? There is too
much machinery between the power
plant (taxes) and the wheels (roads).
The automobilist will remember that
10-12 years ago we had automobiles
with powerful engines, but no ability
to buck mud or climb hills. The
trouble with these machines were
that between the engine and the
wheels, there was so much machinery,
so many gears, that the running gear
used up the power of the engine, be
fore it got to the wheels. And nowIn
the efficiency of an automobile is not
rated by the size of its engine, but
the amount of power it delivers at
the wheels. Now the trouble with
all business affairs run by the state
is that is is wasteful—it fails to trans
mit power economically. It costs for
instance several times the amount
to educate a boy at the State Univers
ity that it costs at a private school—
identically the same kind of an educa
tion. All state affairs are wasteful
without exception because of the com
plicated machinery of its manage
ment, but some things the State must
do—take care of criminals, defect
tives and give elementary education—
yet, because of this inevitable waste
fulness of state affairs, it should be
confined to the narrowest scope. The
end of our present program is confis
cation of the property of the middle
class of society.
The othe/udefect of state paterna
lism is that it'tifeates a political ma
chine, an office nolders aristocracy,
that simply leaves the name without
the substance of real democracy.
Our population in this state has in
creased slightly during the last de
cade, yet the expense of running the
state has increased 300 per cent. Who
gets the benefit of five or six million
dollars per annum, that we now spend
more than in 1904? State office hold
ers, of course. And this office hold,
er's army constitutes the political ma?

The system is wrong. The theory of
state paternalism is fine, and it is fine
for the scions of the office holder
aristocracy, but in practice it is the
end of democracy.

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy

scalp of dandruff—that awful scurf.
There is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruff. It robs the hair
of its lustre, its strength and its very
life eventually producing a feverish

if not remedied causes the hair roots
to shrink, loosen and die—then the
