The League of nations will need a home and seat of admin- istration for the permanent secretariat and any other bureaus or statistical bodies which may in time gather around it. Al- ready the smaller European countries are competing for the honor, on the theory, which may or may not be sound, that to establish the seat of the league in the city which is recognized as the spiritual and intellectual capital of the world might lead to an undue predominance of French influence. So we have bids from The Hague, where the cobwebs can soon be swept out of the Peace Palace, where peace is a recognized form of occupation, and where jurists from many lands have assembled in the past. There is also a suggestion of Geneva, already dis- tinguished by its international connection and its brilliant cul- tural history. And there is Brussels. ° The whole theory of putting the capital in a neutral state rests on the old idea of a moral equilibrium between Germany and the nations allied against her. If the capital were in any allied country it would look too mueh, it is said, as if this were an anti-German league—an argument which might have been well enough in case of moral parity between the opposing al- liances, but hardly when one of them was fighting for the re- storation of law and the other for the rule of simple force. The Hague has been too full of German agents to command in- stant confidence as the headquarters of a 18ague founded by the nations which defeated Germany, and based 'on the resolve that no other nation will hereafter be able to defy the world as Ger- many tried to do. Geneva has somewhat better standing in allied opinion than The Hague just now, but the argument in its favor is not much stronger. On the other hand, the German invasion of Bel- gium presented a test case whose nature could not be obscured by any German fiction, in the strife between law and lawless- ness. The German occupation of Brussels was the symbol of the momentary triumph of ruthless self-interest, the return of King Albert was the vindication of moral law. To establish the headquarters of the league in Brussels would be a per- petual reminder of the circumstances under which the league was set up, of the type of lawlessness which it will repress. Perhaps that is the reason why the Germans and their friends do not favor Brussels as the capital of the league; it is an excel- lent reason for the rest of the world to fix upon it. —_C— A MEMORIAL FOR ROOSEVELT. There ought to be, and in all probability there will be, im- mediate and cordial agreement throughout the country with two of the three proposals made by the Roosevelt Memorial committee. The first of these proposals is “to erect 2 suitable and adequate ‘monumental memorial’ in Washington.” That is the very best of all the plans that could be devised for perpetuating and honoring the memory of Theodore Roosevelt, and if its execution were intrusted, as presumably it would be, to sculptors and architects of the very first rank, the desired end would be achieved so well that one is almost tempted to dissuade the diversion of public attention and available funds to the carrying out of other purposes, no matter how commend- able in themselves. So attractive, however, is the committee’s second proposal—the creation of a Roosevelt Park in Oyster Bay, perhaps in time to include the home on Sagamore Hill— that it will have much approval and no opposition. The third proposal—that of establishing and endowing an incorporated society to promote the development and applica- tion of Roosevelt’s policies and ideals—is entirely different from the other two; and while active opposition to it at this time would be ungracious, there can be no vital objection to point- ing out the uncertainties thae veil the future of such an or- ganization, and the possibility that as the years advance and conditions change it might become either useless or worse if it remain what it would be now or if it changed to something of unlike nature. The monument in Washington and the park in Qyster Bay]| would be enough, for on them worthily could be expended all} the material resources and the aesthetic ability the country can command. Both are commended by the members of the Roose- velt family, and though they also suggest the doing of some- thing for the protection of wild life, that admirable object can be left to other agencies. JECTNE) T With the coming of spring many people, they include men and women, not only children, are inclined to take short-cuts when walking to or from work and in doing so travel over boule- vards. It is to be hoped that persons guilty of this practice will stop when their attention has been called to the matter. The boulevards are one of the city’s most attractive features and everybody should take pride in them and assist in every way possible to aid their maintenance. Criticism of the Y. M. C. A,, in France it would seem, is based entirely on mismanagement resulting in the operation of canteens. This work was handled under difficulties which made satisfactory service an impossibility, and it should be given but little consideration when compared with truly great work that this splendid organization did do “over there.” Engraver’s Tools. A “burin” is an engraver's tool of tempered steel, with a lozenge-shaped point, fixed in a handle, the end of which, held in the hands, is rounded at the top. Pushed forward by the hand in any direction, It cuts a shallow or deep furrow, according to the pres- sure exerted. When, as in etching, Let Action Follow Thought. A philosopher once said that there !s no value to any thought, no matter how fine or noble, unless it is frans- formed into action. If you feel up- lifted by beautiful music, do some- thing that will tally with your mood, and then the music has been worth while. If you read something that is bitten lines, or lines made with the dry-point, are Imperfect or weak,“the burin is used to repair or straighten them. The word burin is also used to describe the manner or style of execu- tion of an engraver; as soft burin; brilliant burin, etc. inspiring, at once do something, no matter how small, that is a little dif- ferent and a little superior to your routine. The theory applles with equal truth to the reading of books as more than & pastime.—Qdicago American. Y 5 THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER AT THE THEATERS AT REX TOMORROW: In “The Probation” Wife,” Norma Talmadge's Jatest Select picture, which will be-seen tomorrow ‘@t the Rex theatre, Norme Talmadge again demonstrates that remarkable -ver- gatility in her roles for which she is rapldly becoming distinguished. At the openng of the picture we see her as an inmate of a notorious cafe. She is young, vibrating with life, and with an inner refinement which makes this life-Trepulsive to her—and Norma Talmadge is the girl who can muke you feel -all these things. The cafe is raided ‘and Miss Talmadge, as Jo is sent to the re- formatory with the rest of the girls for three years.” Here we have this talented Select star in ‘amother role. In gingham dress and tousled hair. she serubs floors and drudgs most of the twenty-four hours every day dur- ing the year. She rebels against the lot fate has chosen for: her and after two years in the rteformatory she 1.anages to escape. 3 She meets Harrison Wade and of- fors herself to him' in return for 1 hatever he deems fit to give her. He 1arries her and she becomes his pro- 1 ation wife. Here we have another llorme Talmadge. In the luxurious and refined home of Harrison Wade ghe devclops into a different woman. From an inmate of a cafe, to a slavey, to a lady—Norma Talmadge is all of these in “The Probation Wife,” and she is as prefect in one part as in the other.

Nancy’s little sister is paddling about in a canoe when the craft is upset. Nancy on shore ‘cannot swim, but she {8 bravely starting out into the lake when the man she loves, but whom she suspects of a dishonorable act, appears and, swimming out into the lake, saves the little girl. Even then, Nancy will not see him and it is not until he is near death’s door 15 a result of his plunge, that she tearns she had misjudged him. How she makes amends and everything ads happily is another part of the story. Gladys Leslie. dainty and diminu- tive star, “with the million dollar smile,” is Nancy, and in the sup- norting cast are Herbert Rawlinson, Forest Robertson, Stephen Carr, John Thompson, Aida Horton and Frances Grant. HER TRAGIC DILEMMA. What would you do with your life it you found that you had innocently sent your husband to his death and later, unaware of the relationship, married his brother? That is the situation which - ‘confronts the he- ~oine of ‘“The Forfeit,” a powerful irama, adapted from Ridgewell Cul- 'on’s popular novel of the same name, 1nd is showing on Wednesday and Thursday at the Grand tneatre. In it House Peters and Jane Miller are co-starred. i DRAMA AND THRILLS. One of the many dramatic scenes in “The Law of the North,” the latest Paramount picture, featuring Charles Ray, which is to be shown for the last time tonight at the Elko theatre, shows Alain de Montcalm, played by Charles Ray, after his return to his home at a northern trading post'to find his father murdered and his sis- ter abducted. The perpetrator of the crimes was his best friend and the father of the beautiful French- Canadian girl that he loves. His heart torn with anguish, he turns on the girl bitterly, and not until they pass through an ordeal that tests the courage of both, are they reunited. MUCH INTERES™ SHOWN. There is no small interest attach- ing to the presentation at the Elko theatrt Wednesday and Thursday, of “The Gypsy Trail” for several rea- s0s—foremost of which is the fact that it was this popular star’s first appearance in a Paramount picture. It will be remembered that Bryant Washburn creatéd the famous “Skin- | ner” for the screen and his work in ¢ legitimate comedy roles has placed him in tle forefront of film stellar activities.

The men had fallen too fast that day for the ambu- lances to carry them all, and so he had picked up a dozen of them, one by one, and carried them back across the shell holes to his little cave in the hill, where he thought they would be safe. All night long, while the guns roared, he made his lonesome journeys out, bring- ing in new wounded and carrying wa- ter to those who cried out for it.—Red [ Cross Magazine, . White Gold. White gold, according to' jewelers, seems destined to retain the place in the jewelry trade which ¢he war gave it. This alloy of nickel and gold.came into, vogue when the government | placed a ban on the use of platinum in the mapufacture of jewelry because of a world shortage of platinum and the vital need for it {n the manufac- ture of high explosives, White gold became a substitute for platinum in jewelry, especlally as a setting for diamonds. It has much the same effect as platinum in bring- ing out the brilliancy of these gems. It does not tarnish or change color and looks much like platinum. It costs about one-fifth as much. The end of the war has not reduced the price of platinum. It remains at $105 an ounce, BACK LIKE A BOARD?
