Established 1873) ! i> | ——_—— ALL SCULPTORS DO NOT WORTH WITH SENSELESS CLAY AND COLD MARBLE | There are men who model remarkable things | out of clay and marble. They have made images | of man wonderful to behold and well near impos- | sible to duplicate. They have been decorated with | honors, titles, laurel wreathes and showered with! words of praise. They produced out of senseless marble a thing which resembles human beings. For doing so much, and doing it well, they de-| serve considerable credit—and that the world | gives them. | But there are other sculptors and we do not call them sculptcrs, who turn out even more wonderful | own standards ‘of honor to fit the needs of the hour as Germany did, and no covenant is worth a darn unless there is force behind it. THE GREAT AMERICAN LAW MACHINE !fS HITTING ON ALL TWELVE It has been our proud boast that the averag: state legislature passed in five weeks every other year more laws than all the combined law making bodies of England did in ten. And with 48 brands of legislatures grinding out laws and tax measures and adopting constitutional amendments it was easily seen that we must be about three-score, or thereabouts, as law abiding as our English cousins. Because it stands to-reason if you have 40 laws and obey 26 of ’em, and your neighbor only has a miserable dozen and obeys the whole dozen, still you are two hundred and some per cent the better citizen than he is. Or is it only one hundred per cent? can law abidingness. And, being so quick cn the law trigger, it nat- urally follows that no new turn of the human wheel of destiny slips past an American legislature without an appropriate law being made to cover the slipping. To prove it we merely, as a late instance, offer ‘the western legislature that has not only favorably reported on the measure to prohibit the shooting of water fowl from aeroplanes, but has amended it to prohibit the taking of crabs, lobsters, clams, oysters or any shell fish by submarines! Actual fact, and by the time you will read this work. They take of a thing and make it a man.; They put the soul into mortal clay. They put real | life into lifeless years. There are many such. For instance, there is one such human sculptor ; of human clay living in Chicago. This sculptor | —we'll call him such although he never handled al sculptor’s mallet and chisel—Jack Robbins, carves | fine men out of “bad” boys. He takes the boy; without home, without friends, without hope,} without ambition, without any of the things which | naturally would lead a boy into honest manhood, | and spends weeks and year: | ‘s carving out of that! flesh and bone a boy with hope, ambition and a! soul! | Taking them from the gutter of sin, from penal | institutions and the streets Jack Robbins moulds | them into boys who will be men, husbands, fathers, | citizens, an honor to their country and a living monument to their sculptor. i { Yet, the world pins no medal on Jack Robbins, | and places no laurel wreathe upon his brow. Nor} does he receive golden reward for his effort. The! world will go on apying much in-gold and praise to the Borglums, Trobetskis, MacMonieses, Lorado| Tafts for what they can do in clay and marble, and| the world will go on admiring the, remarkable, genius of Pericles and Michael Angelo, sculptors| who made lifeless images out of clay,,and the world will go on overlooking and unrewarding the great- er geniuses who make good men out of bad boys. | It is our opinion that the saving of one way- ward boy is of greater value to the world than the carving of all the marble statues in niches and} upon pedestals the world over. | GENTLE SPRING BRINGS RAINS, SUNSHINE, | FLOWERS, AND— While the government has not thought enough of the subject to take data, so there are no exact figures available, still we surmise that about this time of the year the great American boil and car- buncle crop is ripening for the harvest. | The great American home feeds itself on buck- wheat cakes, and rich sirups, and pork sausage, and hot breads, and rich puddings and pies and cakes through the inactive winter months, and then, just before housecleaning time, dame nature has a small sweeping out and shoves a lot cf rub- bish out through the skin. Perhaps they are folks who still regard the annual boil visitation as an infliction from the Lord rather than from the pork barrel. And these good people would never believe that | when spring comes, and greens, boiled and other-| wise, edge into the menu that the rash and blisters and such vanish. High toned folks, who really regard salads as something to eat, and who can take olive oil with- out a drenching bit, escape these spring plagues, but the average American home, especially those in the rural regions where three square meals a day still mean meat and lots of it, and piles and heaps of sweet stuffs with tea well boiled, and coffee reboiled for a week with the same grounds for a substratum, prefers the old-time menu, with a dash of sarsaparilla as a spring tonic. Our pictures of home would not be complete without the one of dad taking his meals through the spring with a sofa cushion for his mooring ground, and a full set of neck plasters for his car- buncles, That was about the time we broke out like a turkey’s egg, and sister captured her first beau and box of face powder. But on a zero morning, especially if you have valeted ten- cows before dawn, a stack of buck- wheat cakes, with sorghum, and a heap of home made sausage, with hot rolls and coffee that will float a nine-pound splitting wedge, provide some- thing worth consideration. The reason the average man can’t understand stateemanship is because officers who have caught a criminallet him ‘stand unpunished while they the bill will probably be a law. With due penalties made and provided, and ‘doubtless a couple of salaried deputies te enforce it. Perhaps. provided with accompanying aero- plane and sub. When we ponder on the acute, age intuitive, ability displayed by our enmassed legislative in- tellects, and on their unfailing, never tiring, in- finitely resurgent, enacting abilities, we see why we are the greatest litigant nation on earth, and support our officials in a luxurious style that arouses the envy of all foreign public jobsters. The official explanation of the league plan is that its success is assured if nations will resolve not to fight. Whatever the league may become, the security of the world rests on the fact-that France has some more of that idealism she displayed at Ver- dun. "We are wondering whether the appointment of Hapgood as ambassador to Denmark is a belated reward for his muck-raking or a recognition of his reform. If Germany lay on this side‘of the Atlantic, and America had shown her ability to hold the Hun in check, Clemenceau would be the idealist and Wilson the practical. man. | WITH THE EDITORS | ————— FARING AN UNCHARTED SEA The socialist inner circle of the Nonpartisan league in North Dakota cherishes a fond hope that “Der Tag” it looked forward to is near at hand. It may yet be due for a shock that it cannot absorb and keep its feet. Word comes - from various well-informed sources in our sister state that the Townley-Mills- Lemke-Le Sueur “Utopia” becomes less and less attractive as it draws nearer and takes on clearer outlines. ss, Many farmers who were willing last November to trust themselves and their interests to the hands of Townleybund are not so sure now that they took the right ccurse at the polls; At a distance the program had its charms. Near by it discloses aspects that give rise to very serious misgivings. The Townleybund has another hurdle to make before it reaches the decisive goal. Its more radi- cal legislative measures are to be subjected to the test of a referendum. By the time that stage is reached the voters will have had time to think things over on their own account. Their ballots will be cast in secret. No socialist dictator can stand over them with a club in the curtained dooths and direct what they shall do under penalty. The bludgeon will not work as it worked in many instances in the legislative session with the state’s lawmakers. For aught we know the electorate of North Da- / kota at the prospective referendum election will} indorse all that the legislature has done. If so, North Dakota is for it. It will be nobody else’s busi- s. It must then hold its peace and abide by the verdict. Voters may think, if the thing does not pan out as they expect, that they can disenthrall themselves from the results in a year or two. Therein they will be painfully disillusioned. It will take years for the state to get out of the morass in such a case. It is no light thing politically or economically to lead a state of the limited resources of North Da- kota into an initial $17,000,000 adventure in rad- icalism, particularly when the leading is done by men whose purposes are questionable and when this first adventure is held in mind by them as only the\forerunner of others even more extreme. North Dakotans may be solacing themselves with the thought that it won’t hurt much at the worst discuss the problem of dividing his pocket change. We-may prate of-national honor and solemn cei ts, act nations regolved on war make their to take a chante and to have their fling at ad- ministrative originality. Now is the time to do some straight, serious thinking on that point.— Anyhow it’s enough to show our great Ameri-| 7 za BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE MONDAY; ‘MARCH 10, 1919 { | republi cha William Lemke, state chairman, and Will H..Ha; of the, republican national commit- tee, are not in agreement’ on state ownership and operation of public o1 other utilities.’ The big chief of the G.

' A nation-wide campaign for tunas for Armenian and Syriaa relief is to be inaugurated March 16 to 2: a Dakota’s allotment in this dri $30.000,000 in the’ United State $125,000. The people of North Dakota have ever championed the cause ot the oppressed and down-trodden, and this amount should be easily raised. The unfortunate people of the near- East have been pillaged, driven from their homes, and prevented from seed- ing and harvesting their crops until death from slow starvation has been the lot of thousands. Others are wholly dependent upon the results of this campaign for necessary food, shel- ter, clothing and seed. Believing in the. integrity. and ac- tual need for outside assistance ot the inhabitants of these war-torn and helpless nations 1 recommend: thorough organization in every local- ity to properly handle this campai and earnestly urge a generous re- sponse to this call of a needy and hondrable people. ’ Ddne at the Capitol ‘at Bismarck this 8th day of March, A.
