THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) WORTH WATCHING “We believe you are trying an experiment here that is worth while watching,” Secretary E. M. McMahon of the St. Paul association of commerce told the Bismarck Commercial club last night. The Tribune fully agrees that the experiment is worth watching—and that is all it is worth. THEIR VALUE Husbands are not like pork ribs, lard, bales of cotton or bushels of wheat. Husbands vary in values. Some are worth more and others are held less highly. There are no exact market quota- tions on husbands, such as one finds in the pro- duce market, the stock exchange or the board of trade. It is, therefore, rather difficult to answer that New York woman who wants to know: “How much is a husband worth to any wom- an?” But for her benefit a little investigation of the subject will be undertaken. Two news dispatches are under consideration. First: Woman in Des Moines, Iowa, offers to dispose of her husband for the trifling sum of $5,000. “I don’t want him any more, so I sell him,” she informed an attorney she asked to complete the sale. And, she had a “buyer” at that price. That, seemingly, would fix the husband price at $5,000. But— Miss Amy.O’Connor has filed suit against Allen Grey, Evansville, Ind., asking for $500,000 be- cause, as’ she alleges, Grey refused to become her husband after promising so to do. Obviously, Miss Amy valued a husband like Grey at half a million dollars. Possibly that is the top quotation for husbands in the matrimonial markets. The range of husband prices, then, appears to hover between $5,000 and $500,000. Before you, being a married man, place your own value at the large figure, please bear this in mind: It was a married woman who set the $5,000 mark for hus- bands, and it was a mere girl, one inexperienced in husband valuations, who placed the price of husbands at the half-million mark. Possibly a husband is more valuable before you get him. Eh? SPRING POEMS in a climate of rigorous winters Nature resorts to hibernination. The trees stand gaunt and bare in an attitude of defense; for the leaves are gone, and it is the leaves, with all their wonderful extent of surface, that keep the living tree in touch with the lite-giving forces beyond it. Through the leaves the sun and the air keep up the marvelous chemistry that builds living fiber out of dead chemicals—the living fiber that man so ruthlessly cuts down and burns, to get back for himself the heat that the long, slow growth of many summers stored in it. Bears, clad in thick fur, have crawled into pits BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE TUESDAY, MARCH 2, 1920 ness to the sun or glory to the name of Washing- ton is alike impossible. Let none attempt it. In solemn awe pronounce the name, and in its naked, deathless splendor leave it shining on.” Note the brevity, the opening date, the state- ment of what is expected, the impossibility of the task, The Gettysburg address has them all. But it has also, what the other has not, a stateliness and solemn dignity and devotion that leaves one breathless. “Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation sition that all men are created equal * * * * field. 2 * And then the entirely new note. “It is for us, 9 |the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the un- finished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us; that from these honored dead we take increased devotion; that we here highly resolve this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom; and that government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” WITH THE EDITORS TOTTEN’S BLUFF apparently have learned that when they tried to rebuild the faculty of the state university upon their own wild notions they bucked up against something that was a bit too much for them. President Kane may. or may not be the best the Totten board is alleged to have against him. ;The methods used by the board to oust him were such that, if successful, would have cast a blot upon the educational system of the state. The fact that the whole deal head to be made a pawn in the hands of political highbinders. The recent shut-down, where Totten’s bluff was called, and where he showed he did not even have a pair of openers, ought to awaken that head of the state educational system. job, and furthermore he has that little promise he made during the last session to keep. It’s never too late to mend, but the longer the tear is neglected the worse it gets. Totten ought ‘to quit now and save the state a lot more trouble trying to patch up his political rips.—Devils |Lake Journal. UNIONIZING THE MIDDLE CLASSES “The time has come,” announces a former pres- ident of the American Medical association, “when ‘the medical profession of the United States is forced to unionize to protect its own interests and those of the public.” Somehow this statement is inot so startling as it sounds. Just how long a step would the doctors have to take in order to be fully uniorized? They, along with barbers, are almost the sole survivors of the once all-powertul craft guilds. Long before anybody was so bold as to think of organizing manual laborers members iof ihe medical professidn had a code of ethics which was supposed “to protect its own interests and those of the public.” So definite was this understanding that even the layman was able to discriminate between “union” and doctors. He knew, for instance, that the late Dr. Munyon was regarded by the profession generally as a “scab.” What was true of doctors was also “Unprofessional conduct” has conceived in liberty and dedicated to the propo-| “We have come to dedicate a portion of that} George Totten and his board of administration! that these dead shall not have died in vain; that | banquet, college professor in the world, but that does not watching ana we wast t have anything to do with the merits of the case yi was political, petieve that the people have a per- could not be gainsaid, and the faculty of the uni-| fect right to cast aside the o:d thin versity, and the students, refused to permit their and adopting those ¢ gentleman to the necessity of his retirement as | camgc He does! they wish to accept a‘l of its | “non-union” , | lo STRONG DIRECTORATE NAMED TO GUIDE | m0 0 COMMERCIAL CLUB 1920—McMAHON MAKES Big Attendance at Enthusiastic Annual Meeting of Organiza- tion Held at Grand Pacific Last Night—More Than 250 Present Electing an ceptionally board of directors and li: stirring message from E hon, secretary of the St. tion, on the proper dev the Commercial chtb, more than business and professional men of the city last night attended the annual meeting of the club, The new direct- ars, unanimously elected, are as fol- a P.

In civic affairs we must learn to sub merge ourselves for the greatest good for the greatest number. That be- gins with the individual and that is where of business.

TWO ADDRESSES A Washington’s birthday address made by Abraham Lincoln in 1842 has been unearthed in an old newspaper and a reporter says it is “per- haps as eloquent as the world-famous Gettysburg address.” This it is not, for though clever and For some reason the tendency to; come again in touch with wind and weather.
