He claims in| 25 years we will speak slanguage, not language. This deluded candidate for a padded abode says that slanguists are ahead of their time. It is indeed something to invoke our thankfulness that this is not their day. | The Unbalanced Party also declares that there | is beauty in slang and that Walt Whitman was first to recognize it. Walt, the philosopher, and Mark Twain both liked to cuss, we are told. But cussing and slang are north and south poles. Yet of neither can it be said that there is beauty in it. | Consider, for example, that celebrated Ameri- canism, “beat it.” Colorful, forceful, eloquent, expressive of much in two syllables. But has it beauty? It offends, disgusts, rouses instant re- sentment. We wonder what poet Untermyer, who thinks slang has beauty, would say were he late for an appointment and the young lady or his wife spoke somewhat like this: “Lissen, cull, y’ can’t gimme the corner-stand an’ git away wid it, see? Next time youse pull a bum stall an’ cum tackin’ up ten ticks late by dis sun-dial on me wrist, I’m gonna blow, fer I’m a decent lady and a-wantcha t’ get me, I don’t linger on no street corners waitin’ for any guy from here on, tsee?” YABLE IN ADVANCE A CONFOUNDED NUISANCE | People who failed to pay the first installment of their income tax on March 15 have now lost the installment payment privilege. — Washington statement. Privilege nothing! Most people thought in- stallment payment was compulsory and they look | on it as a confounded nuisance. Anyway the al-| leged privilege was really for the fellows who al-, ways get privileges—those whose income taxes! amount to large sums on which the interest would , amount to considerable. { You say that you have faith in the Hun’s good! intentions, but do you believe that Hun scientists have quit the study of poison gases? The revelation of treaties forced on China by, Japan may persuade us that there is something in! this scrap-of-paper doctrine, after all. | And almost everybody is anxious that every-! thing should come down except the particular thing that he manufactures or raises. | ———— | Some Hun statesman can win renown in the! future by rearing up on his hind legs and yelling : | “Millions for tribute, but not one cent for defence!” | There are many people in America who don’t) like our style of government, and we are heartily | in favor of an appropriation to pay their fare to] the other side of the Atlantic. | —————— | | WITH THE EDITORS || aA | “OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER” | Without the slightest reference to its possible | effect upon this paper for good or ill, The Chronicle | is unalterably opposed to the “official county newspaper” bill enacted in the closing hours of the assembly. We are opposed to it, not because it wa: a Nonpartisan league measure, but because we be- lieve it to be unjust and uncalled for. The statement made by a member of the house | in defense of the bill that “the people of this state| want it” was false and sheer nonsense besides. It} is false because the proposition of having one offi-| cial newspaper in each county has never been be- fore the people of this state; has never been an issue, and no faintest whisper that such a measure was to be proposed was heard during the last cam- paign or any other. By what ‘authority, then, could any man claim that the people want such a law? It was sheer nonsense because the people of North Dakota are not so lacking in local pride and self-interest that they want to kill off their local newspapers. The statement was also made that this measure will save the taxpayers “hundreds of thousands of dollars.” That is a bare-faced and grotesque falsehood. As this paper pojnted out two or three weeks ago, the rate or fee to be charged for pub- lishing legal notices is fixed by law. It costs no {upon the theory that all of the taxpayers in a} | at the expense of its employees, the untruth of Hove him, and hope that he may be spared to enjoy. | sional contributions from the pen which has been jnate, and for this reason, aside from the genial per- re entitled to know what is going on in the official circles of the county; what bills are being contracted; how the public funds are ex-| pended, and so on. It was held that no single paper could) disseminate this important information} throughout the entire county, and so it is provided | that there shall be three official newspapers in} each county.—LaMoure County Chronicle. WHAT AMERICA OWES TO HER CITIZENS Before the conference of governors and mayors in Washington recently, Mr. Wilson, secretary of labor, said that “no country owes a man a living, but e country owes him an opportunity to earn a living?’ | That is good as far as it goes, but it does not go far enough. Let’s try it in this form: “Every country owes its own citizens an opportunity to earn a living, but America does not owe the citi- zens of any other country an opportunity to earn a living in America unless they obey and support the laws and observe the traditions and spirit of America; nor should alien agitators advocating the violation of our laws and the destruction of our government be tolerated in America.” We offer this as an amendment to Mr. Wilson’s motion and move its adoption. The ayes have it. The motion is adopted.—Minneapolis Tribune. | THE FAILURE OF CO-OPERATION It is a curious fact that while co-operative! BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE TUESDAY, MARCH: 25,1919 choose and designate the certain paper in which] : e anon HATCHING We “| (U, ‘By, Wer WEST TO EAST FLIGHT outery against the grocer and butcher, it is rather strange that co-operative efforts, directed against the exorbitant charges of the corner grocery and} meat shop have always failed. In March of 1916 the Interborough Rapid Transit company of New York city started a chain of co-operative stores to lower the cost of living for its employees. After less than two years’ experience it has been com- pelled to acknowledge failure of the scheme, and to auction off to the highest bidder stocks of goods to the value of $150,000. The stores sold the high- est grade of foodstuffs, and although they con- ducted demonstrations showing quality was su- perior and cost less than for similar lines of goods at local stores, the employees couldn’t be induced to patronize them in sufficient numbers to make the co-operative effort pay. Among the reasons assigned for:their failure were no credit and no free delivery. Possibly, also; their competitors started a story that the company was profiteering which would have been immediately apparent upon a comparison of prices. Experiments in co-opera- tive merchandising show that the American public does not warm up to the idea.—Leslie’s. MARSE HENRY Colonel Henry Watterson has begun the pub- lication of a series of memoirs, and it is not easy to think of anyone whose recollections will be read with greater interest. Colonel Watterson has, per- haps, ceased to be a very \active participant in the a s of the world because of his years, but the fact remains that he is one of our most cherished institutions. The American people accept him, and for years the repose to which he is entitled after a long life of activity, and to delight them with oc¢a-| wielded with such deftness and such vigor. There are not left to us many men who had not only attained to full manhood before the Civil war, but who had been in close personal contact with people and events that have become historic. In this respect Henry Watterson is especially fortu- sonality of the great editor, the recollections which are now being published will be read with unusual interest. Colonel Watterson came of good stock. His father was a man of wealth, active in public af- fairs, a member of congress, and the close friend of many who were, or who became eminent. His son was therefore reared among conditions which brought him into contact with some of the most prominent men of his day, and which familiarized him with events which have become historic. As a boy he met on familiar terms such men as Jack- son, Franklin Pierce, Taylor, Fillmore and Cass. While serving as a volunteer page in the house of representatives in Washington he became a sort of protege of an aged member who, he was told, had been president of the United States. This man,of course, was John Quincy Adams, one of the finest figures in our history, and the little friend of the great man was present when the great statesman collapsed on the floor of the house, and’ was carried out in a dying condition. It seems strange.that there should be now liv- ing and taking an active part in the affairs of the more to publish a legal notice in one paper than|world a man whose personal recollections carry another. So far as the ordinary run of legal no-| him back among people and scenes of which most: tices is concerned, the bill enacted will not save s!of us know only from the reading of books of his- ngle penny to the taxpayers or any. one else.|tory.

With a secretly built Sopwith two- seater with a 12-cylinder 375. horse: power Rolls-Royce Eagle engine, Harry Hawker, pilot, and Lieutenant Commander ‘Mackenzie Grieve, Royal navy navigator, sailed from Liver- pool to attempt a flight from St. Johns, N. B., to Ireland. t now looks as though the big flight will be a race between Hawker and Lieut-Com- manderPatrick Bellinger, _ wha has been selected by the U. S. Navy De- partment to pilot ‘one of the three giant machines now being complet- ed at Rockaway Point. The proposed French from Africa to South shorter distance. w The reason why the . Britishers| should try to fly from Ame! Europe ig because the prevailing winds blow from west..to east. If it, were not for that it would be better to go the other way, The move- ment of the earth, on its axis is from | west to east, and if it. were possible for an airplane rising in the air say at London to remain poised there absolutely without any motion at all} New York would swing beneath it in five hours. ‘Can% Stand Still. But the movement of the air with the earth is such that. no motionless poise is possible. The machine must fly. The flight eastward is easier on account of the air movement. While thé. Newfoundland-Ireland route i sthe b course, it crosses | an uncertain weather area. In gen tral the N. E. trade’ winds in the northeast area of the Atlantic beeome a S. W. or counter trade wind above 15,000 feet, and blows at 27 miles an; hour. At 30,000 feet the velocity! for the west winds is 30 miles an hour. On the other side of the ocean the heighth at which the S, W. counter trade wind hegins’ varies greatly, be- ing sometimes below a mile and some- times above eight miles. | The Englishmen expect to make the 1890 miles in).19 4-2 hours. Their machines, it is said,‘could remain in the air for 24 hours at 190 miles an hour. ~The real difficulties simmer down to bad air conditions and motor troubles.
