THE STATE'S OLDEST NEWSP: (Established 1878) ee A NEW ERA : In the United States senate there will be staged one of the final controversies over the phases of the peace pact and its important provisions, creat- ing a league of nations, destined to usher in a new era in our international relations and to create new problems at home because of that closer con- tact with our neighbors across the seas. It was no easy matter to write a peace treaty where so many conflicting racial ambitions com- plicated at every turn the efforts of the negotia- tors. The wonder is that any document could be formulated which would meet wi # final agree- ment. j Criticism generally can be grouped into two classes, destructive and constructive, Fortunately the peace council paid little attention to the par- tisan attacks of the extremists represented by Reed, Borah, Sherman and their ilk. A real ser- vice was performed, however, by the suggestions offered by such Americans as Taft, Root, Hughes and Lowell. Their only motive in criticism was to make the league of nations workable, the peace treaty binding and to insure the success of the instrumentality for a world peace. The sovereignty of the United States is amply protected, despite the ravings of the jingoists who would plunge the treaty into partisan politics. Two barriers have been removed to the success of the treaty in the United States. The Monroe doctrine is specifically recognized and the Japa- nese issue inferentially, at least, is reduced to a purely domestic, issue over which the covenant assumes no special jurisdiction. The clause which removes the racial issue involved in the contro- versy with Japan reads: “Tf the dispute between parties claimed by one of them, and is found by the council to arise out of a matter which by international law is solely within the domestic jurisdiction of that party the council shall so report, and shall make no recom- mendations as to its settlements.” Thus are immigration laws eliminated from the matters subject to arbitration. The Hearsts and the Hiram Johnsons can breathe easier. There is much to commend in the treaty. Ger- many in the first place agrees to pay for the dam- age in the amount as finally fixed by the Repara- tions commission. Immediate cash indemnities should not be confused with the final reparation. A commission will spend years in arriving at the damage and in listing Germany’s assets so that the manner of payment can be evolved. Thereby a valuable principle is established that he who starts a war must pay if he loses. The treaty presents vast opportunities and whether we realize them depends upon ourselves and in the mantainance of those high ideals which prompted this nation to join in the war for the preservation of democracy. “IF HE CAN, WHY, I CAN!” Why does Indiana produce so many writers? This question is often asked. There are two seasons. First: Indiana, for many years after its first settlement, was inaccessible to the larger centers of population. In the small isolate communities of early time people preserved their individuality. In cities people are relativély alike—they be- come alike by association in large numbers, they have the same amusements and diversions—they “hire” their amusements the same as having their clothes made or employing the performances of other common services. ib In a country community people are forced on their own resources for amusements and diver- sions; they become adepts at story telling, prac- tical joking, unique expression and humorous simile. Then there is the general influence of pioneer life, i The open sky, the hills, the trees, the sounds of the wind through the forest’; the cry of the owls by night—life amid virgin nature stimulated the imagination and vision. : Before the open fire-places of early times, and from its glow and warmth came human fancies in story and song. While but few of these original fancies may have been recorded for posterity, yet their spirit, the ability to create them, does not die out in one, two or even three generations; it is an inborn spark that can be fanned to flame at will, and even in now congested populations and high civilization with all their lettered traditions. Here is the second reason why Indiana produces so many writers: _ It has been the assertion of the human will. - BISMARCK DAILY TRIBU! WEDNESDAY, JULY. .2,. 1919. It is that spirit which says: “If he can, why I e can!” Duluth Woman Gains For instance, years ago some small town law- yer of Indiana may have written a successful book. Others in his and neighboring towns said to themselves: “If he can, why I can!” In this spirit many attempts were made. Many of them may have failed; most of their manuscripts may not have even seen the light of type. But on the law of averages, out of the many failures, a few succeeded and these in turn, thru the course of years, inspired others with the same spirit: “If he can, why I can!” This last may be the main reason why Indiana produces so many writers, and aside from that of location and a pioneer background. It is like the automobile industry being cen- tered about Detroit and Cleveland, at least in its earlier development. It should have logically been located in New England where they had for years the mechanics and machine shop facilities. But Henry Ford and Alexander Winton, two pioneers of the automobile, happen to live in De- troit and Cleveland respectively; their neighbors said “If he can, why I can!”, and a vast general industry came into being in particular locations. It is a matter of mind, will, rather than loca- tion—it is a question of where the men with the mind and will are located, and no difference wheth- er it is writing a book, building a bridge, flying in the air or winning a ball game. ALADDIN’S WINDOW When the palace of Aladdin was built one win- dow was left unfinished for the sultan to complete. Unfortunately his funds ran out and the window was never completed. We have from this incident the saying, “Alad- din’s Window,” when we speak of any. work left undone by a great man and which somebody is to finish. Our soldiers, now returning, have left for us a great Aladdin’s window. They have erected a world of freedom and democracy with the window of brotherhood left for us to supply. That Aladdin’s window can be built with faith and confidence in our government, our neighbors and ourselves. Americans always have been so rich in these things that it is inconceivable to fail for lack of funds. Let’s create a window that is even more beau- tiful than the building itself. YOUR WIFE’S FOLKS No matter how masterful the husband may be; and no matter from what high estate he came, nor how subordinated his wife may appear, be sure that the wife always compares her family to his, and her’s always shines by comparison. | Through the generations the mothers have taken this subtle revenge on the men. Though they lost their family name; though outwardly they were made a mere appendage to the male line; still they kept in their hearts a con- viction of the high estate of their house. And to their children they imparted a rever- ence for the glories of the mother tribe. It is a ten to one chance that your maternal grandmother, either in person or by tradition, meant more, to you as a child than your paternal grandmother. é On your mother’s side was where the family tree was pruned and fertilized and made to bear an annual harvest of reminiscence. Most of us know mighty little about our fa- ther’s folks; about their family glories and achievements. But we know what our great, great maternal grandmother did. You will note that the Daughters of the Ameri- can Revolution are as potent an organization today as they were a generation ago; sons of the Ameri- can Revolution are seldom heard of. If it depended on dad to uphold family tradition he probably would dwell as much on his great un- cle, who was hanged by the neck until dead, as on his gerat, great, grandfather, who was a governor. Which, of course, would never do. Carranza is sore because we crossed without permission. We had as much permission as those stray bullets had. Crossing the river to make Americans safe on this side of the Rio Grande served to make Ameri- cans very unsafe on the other side. If Russia falls down on the payment of many more credits granted by American bankers, it may become our patriotic duty to establish law and order over there. Root asserts that the collector of internal reve- nue holds the brewers in the hollow of his hands. In that case, this is the logical time to signal for the squeeze play. ~ We are informed that the government has made an average profit of ten million dollars the year on parcel post insurance. This will come in handy to pay a part of the annual loss on the franking graft. . We are warned against a general demonstration by anarchists during the first week of July. It was during the first week of July, 1776, that Americans first decided to break away from a tyranny not as noxious as anarchy. 15 Pounds She Said Tanlac Made Mrs. Norman Well Two Years Ago—Good Health Con- tinued, She States “Although it has been two years now since Tanlac relieved me of my suffering and built me up so wonder- fully every day is still a well day for me,’ was the statement made by Mrs. Liddia Norman, Route 4, Box 242, Du- luth, Minn., while in Abbett & Com- pany’s drug store, recently. “For three years,” she continued, “T had suffered agonies with rheuma- tism all over my body. My feet were so swollen I could hardly get my shoes on. I had to wear gloves to keep down the swelling in my hands as much as possible. I was in so much pain that I was all bent over and had to use a cane in order to get about. My stom- ach was in a very bad condition, too, and what I would eat seemed to lump up badly and lay in the pit of my stomach and ferment. I would bloat up terribly with gas and have such de- pressed feelings in my chest and around my heart that it was difficult for me to get my breath. My appetite was very poor—there were many things I couldn’t eat at all—and at times I wag very dizzy. I couldn’t get any sound sleep, had fallen off a great deal in weight and just felt miserable most all the time. “When I read and heard so much about Tanlac I made up my mind to try.it and it was the wisest decision lever made, By the time I had fin- ished my third bottle I discarded my cane and could eat what I wanted without the least trouble afterwards. After taking five bottles the rheuma- tism was gone entirely and I could walk as well as I ever could, and I also found I had gained fifteen pounds in weight. Well, I haven’t had an ache or a pain to this good day and I still eat and sleep like a child and feel fine all the time, I have related my ex- perience with Tanlac many times and am willing. to keep on telling it as long as I can help other people out of their suffering. I am getting a bottle of Tanlac now just to take as a Spring tonic and I hope what I say in this statement will start many others on the road to health.” Tanlac is sold in Bismarck by Jos. Breslow in Driscoll by N. D. and J. H. Barotte and in Wing by F. P. Homan. —Advt. ROMANTIC FIGURE -OF PIONEER DAYS IN ARIZONA GONE Perry Owens, Cattle-Man and Indian Fighter, Goes to Last Round-up © ‘Seligman, Ariz... July 2—A roman- tic figure of -Arizona’s pioneer days has just passed in the person of Com- modore~ Perry Owens, a cattleman, sure shot, dashing Indian fighter and fearless sheriff, who died here. With his long, waving hair falling over his shoulders, his pleasing. per- sonality and dignified carriage, Com- modore Owens carved a spectacular career on Arizona’s tablets of history between his arrival in the state in 1882 and his death. Owens was born in Indiana, 65 years ago and came to Arizona via Texas and New Mexico, in 1882, to become a range foreman of a cattle company at Navajo Springs. In a single handed ‘battle with three Navajo Indians who were steal- ing the company’s cattle, Owens kill- ed the trio. Then followed numerous clashes with the red raiders, many of whom fell before his deadly rifle. In time the Indians came to believe he bore a charmed life and gave him a wide berth, since, despite his fre- quent battles with them, he did not receive a single wound. In 1886, when outlaws throughout Apache county were defying the law, Owens was elected sheriff, and, back- ed by Judge Robert E. Morrison, now of Prescott, he obtained indictments against 16 of the most notorious thieves and murderers. While the grand jury was reporting the true bills, a dozen of the outlaws fled the country’ rather than face the new sheriff. The latter tracked three of the remainder to the Blue River and there, when they were re- sisting arrest they fell before the guns of Sheriff Oweng and his posse. A fourth member of the gang, Finn Clanton, was trapped, captured and sentenced to serve ten years in pris- on, Perhaps Owens’ most spectacular battle was one foneht. at Holbrook, where the sheriff killed Andy Cooper a notorious bad man and two com- panions. Owens had been told that the trio had taken refuge in a house near the railroad trac’s. Ho radq down the street to thé building; walked up to the door and rappeu for admission, with his rifle held in his right hand at his hip. Cooper opened the door and attempted to draw his revolver, but’ the sheriff fired from the hip, Cooper fell badly wounded. At the same moment an- other shot rang out from behind from the gun of one-of Cooper's com- panions, the bullet. barely missing the sheriff's head. With his back to the second assailant, Owens threw his rifle over his shoulder and fired. The outlaw dropped mortally hurt. As the officer retracted a few steps he saw a man through the window maneuvering for a shpt and acain the sheriff's rifle spoke. The outlaw inside fell to the floor and died witn- in a few minutes. It was Cooper, who had been shot first when he op- ened the door.. Then the third desperado made his appearance, running around the corner of the house with his revolver raised to fire, but beforeghe could pull the trigger Owens shot and the last of the gang died in his tracks. ‘Owens served but one term as sheriff of Apache county, but it was said that at the end of his tenure of office every outlaw in the county had been driven out, killed or arrested. For a short while the ex-sheriff acted as an express messenger, but later he entered businegs on his own account and died peacefully in com- mercial harness. Returns From Valley.

WORLD GREATEST PICTURE AT AUDITORIUM TONIGHT The: biggest photoplay production of the age, “The Birth of a Race,” will be presented here tonight at the Aud- itorium coming direct from an ex- ceptionally ‘successful and lengthy en- gagement in Chicago’s most exclusive theatre, the Blackstone and the Play house. Over one million dollars was spent to stage this very out-of-the ordinary picture play and its spec- tacle features outdo anything tere- tofore seen in any photoplay produc- tion. With its romance, its smiles and tears and thrills this exception- al picture play carrizs us back to the creation, thence to Noah and the flood, to Moses, to the eravitixion, to Columbus, to the declaration of inde- pendence, to Lincoln, and into the great world war and out into the sunshine of peace, with a better un- derstanding and a closer brotherhood between all races and nationalities. “The Birth of a Race” comes in its original form in every respect, in no sense a number two or duplicate pro- duction but intact as seen in Chi- cago, at the Blackstone theatre and the famous playhouse on Michigan avenue, where many of the most elab- orate and pretentious picture plays are seen. Joseph Breil, composer of the music for “The Birth of a Na- tion and “Intolerance,” is responsible for the musical score. This great pic- ture will be here tonight, Thursday and Friday night with a big special matinee the Fourth of July... Reserved. seats are on sale at Harris & Co. BABES WRAPPED Daughter of New Nation’s Presi- dent Appeals to World for Clothing and Food for Little Ones. (N, E. A. Special to The Tribune.) Prague, July 1.—“We have paid a terrible price for our liberty, but we have it at last. Yet what good is the precious possession of it, if our chil- dren are to grow up stunted in growth and too weak to repair the ravages of war and to: build up our ‘ nation until it reaches the high ideals of our dreams?” This {s the question Miss Alice Masaryk, daughter of the president of Czecho-Slovakia, put to herself when she first saw the peaked, old faces of the Czech children and their little bodies, weak and stunted in growth from underfeeding. Miss Masaryk is remembered in America for her settlement work in the slums of Chicago, while her fa- ther, Professor Thomas G. Masaryk, was exchange professor in the Uni- versity of Chicago. After being held as a hostage in an Austrian prison camp and narrowly escaping the tragic fate of Edith Ca- vell, Miss Masaryk is now co-operat- ing with the American relief admin- istration in its program for Czécho- Slovakia. “Our mothers,” she writes to Mr. Hoover, director general of the American __ relief administration, “have nothing but paper with which to wrap their little new-born babies. In the hospitals many of the sick children are without covering of any kind, so scarce is clothing and linen. And as for bandages, I know of at least one hospital where paper is used exclusively for bandaging.” “Besides our great need of cloth- ing,” Miss Masaryk continues, “we need food and soap. Tuberculosis and typhus are raging in some dis- tricts uncontrolled. Physicians tell me the cause of this can be traced almost directly to. the total lack of soap in these districts. It is impos- sible for the people to keep clean and so contagion is greatly aggravated. Diseases brought on directly from under-feeding are another cause of our high death rate. The children are pitifully underfed. I see no way of saving them unless they are given immediate and special care.” ‘Miss Masaryk has’ recently been appointed president of the Children’s Relief Bureau in Czecho-Slovakia. ANCHORAGE DREAM CITY OF ALASKA REAL METROPOLIS Only Few Years Ago Non-Exis- tant, Town Is Now One of Far North’s Greatest Anchorage, Alaska, May 25.—(By Mail).—Only a few years ago An- chorage was non-existant. The gov- ernment’s Alaska railroad was a fan- ciful project. At the close of the last regular session of congress, when the railroad appropriation fail- ed along with other items, things again took on a dingy hue in what is now a thriving town. The. slender ribbons of steel that ‘have boldly ‘dared to pierce a vast wilderness of ice and snow appeared doomed to a life of rust. Now, with the money necessary to carry on the work all but actually authorized, Anchorage. through its chamber of commerce, asks the United States at large to view aspects of the great work al- ready accomplished. Less than three years ago the first train was run over the Anchorage di- vision. Since then nearly 100,000 passengers and 250,000 tons of freight have been handled over the rails. The division comprises 280 miles of railroad, beginning near. the sorth end of the Alaska Northern railway IN PAPER IN CZECHO-SLOVAKIA ALICE G MASARYK. and extending to the summit of the Alaska Range. Track has been laid and operated over 154 miles of main line as far north as Talkeetna, and 38 miles of branch line—all exclusive of track mileage in yards and sidings. Thirty more miles of roadbed are ready for the rails. Six miles of wooden bridges have been built and 2,400 acres of right-of- way cleared and grubbed. Over 3,- 000,000 cubic -yards of solid rock and nearly 6,000,000 cubic yards of other material have been moved. Just to bring supplies and outfits: to the worker’s camps, 230 miles. of trails and 195 miles of wagon roads have been built, with: 350 miles of tele- graph and telephone lines. Over 200 buildings were erected just for rail- road employes and supplies.- Coal mines were opened at Eska Creek and Chickaloon by the Alaskan En- gineering commission, builders of the railroad, and in two years 90,000 tons of coal have been mined and shipped. At Anchorage, wharves and docks were built over which 20,000 passen- gers and 188,000:tons of freight have been handled in three years. Water tanks, pumping plants, mains, sew- ers and a hundred other necessary adjuncts have sprung into being. In these three years, three town- sites have been laid.out along this di- vision, with 143 acres of land cleared ten miles of graded streets, five miles of wooden and one and one-fourth miles of cement sidewalks laid. The townsites are .-Anchorage, Matanuska and Wasilla. Payment for all the modern improvements given these embryo towns was not from Uncle Sam's treasury, but from the sales of lots by assessment. In Anchorage alone—all a result of the railroad—there are some 890 Privately owned stores and residenc- es, besides government buildings, churches, a school, fire station and the like. Freight that formerly cost more than 25 cents a pound to move by pack train from tidewater at Anchor- age to Chickaloon, costs at present less than one-half cent a pound by railroad. Since the railrad was open- ed, farmers in the Matanuska Valley have prduced 6,000 tons of potatoes and other supplies. The railroad has tapped in short, 648,000 acres of val- uable land rich in natural resources available for agriculture as well as for mining. These ,the chamber of commerce points out, are a few of the things brought about by the coming of steel. These are some of the reasons given |Why the pioneers of new lands have j hoped the government would not for- ket the money needed to complete the task begun. QUIGGS DEAD. New York, July 2—Lemuel Ely Quiggs, former member of congress and prominent in republican politics in New York state for many. years, died-at his home here today. “He had been in poor health for several years,
