The booze issue in the United States is dead. It has been buried. There is less chance of bring- ing back the era of rum ‘than of substituting the ox-cart for the automobile. For years and years the people of this land de- bated the liquor problem. Every side of it was argued over and up and down. Slowly but sure- ly the wave of popular opinion swept it out of legal existence in this country. Whisky died hard, it is true, but it died. i : It seems difficult for a few to realize that John Barleycorn has, passed away—FOREVER. They couldn’t persuade themselves that he was dead last July when they saw him in his coffin. And now they profess to believe the old rum-sodden drink habit is turning over in his grave, anxious to be dug up and restored to command of the army of liquor drinkers. But it is all a mistake. The saloon is a thing of the past in America. The drunkard is done. Demon Rum is a political is- sue in the United States just as slavery is an is- sue; as the purchase of Louisiana is; the Stamp Acts of George III are! t The sooner Governor Edwards of New Jersey and the few “wet” leaders interested ip his beery candidacy, realize this the sooner they can turn “faces” that children make at each other. But it is a useful form of action inherited from an- cestors who go all the way back:to the beginnings of human life. A flush, a frown or a raised voice can break no bones; but it is a very good sign of something else that can—a sign that others learn to respect, and thereby avoid a conflict that may mean wounds or death for both. So long as men will fight ‘and dogs will bite, bulls will gore and snakes will strike, scowls and barks and snorts and rat- tles are a means of safety for all concerned. Europe seems to forget that the tail shouldn’t wag the dog) t é If you watch the outgo the income will take Olcare of itself. The last person to object to a bonus for soldiers is he who was too busy profiteering during th war to fight. ! The peace treaty makes almost as complete a job of Turkey as the ax does shortly before Thanksgiving. EDITORIAL REVIEW Comments reproduced in this column may or may not express the opinions of The Tribune. They are pre- sentéd here dn order that our readers may haye both sides of important issues which are being discussed in the press of the day. A STATE IN COVENTRY The Republican Stata convention of North Da- kota requested that no presidential candidate of its own party enter the primary lists in that state, and all have obeyed the request except Sen- ator Johnson. Nor will any democratic candidates be listed. The state has been sent to coventry po- litically, and by its own desire; which is fully shared in by the.two parties in the nation. The reason is that owing to the chaotic condi- tions in North Dakota the socialists and: radicals combined under’ the name of the Nonpartisan league would capture the delegations, or at least split them in such a way as to make them neither their attention and effort to solving some of the real live issues now confronting this country. Spring showers would be.ever so much nicer if they produced nothing but May flowers. PAYING UP Germany, in spite of the impression to the:con- trary, has shown rather good speed in the matter democratic or republican. Appearing in the two conventions their actions would not be directed toward the nominations. of carididates and the formulation of republican and democratic plat- forms, but toward socialist and bolshevist propa- ganda, so that if they had previously received a party label they would be able to create scandal at the expense of that party. Both the depubli- cans and the democrats prefer that if the radicals of beginning her payments for the crime of the World War, in compliance with the treaty condi- tion. : \ The Saar mines, worth one billion marks, have been turned over to France. Enterprises liquidat- ed abroad and surrendered amount to 12,000,000,- 000 marks; state properties turned over to the al: lies in the surrendered regions amount to 6,600,- 000,000 marks; Germany’s commerfial fleet sur- rendered is valued at 8,250,000,000 marks; Ger- many has furnished coal to France since the sign- ing of the treaty valued at 240,000,000: marks; machinery has been turned over valued at 150,- 000,000; railway material’ valued at 750,000,000; cables valued at 66,000,000. The German state and army materials left behind and-turned over’ to the allies amount to 7,000,000,000. Germany has paid the expenses of the allied occupation of the Rhine provinces amounting to 666,000,000 marks, She has delivered cattle to the value of 390,000,000 marks ; dyestuffs have been furnished to the value of 200,000,000; and she has surrend- ered claims on her former allies to the tune of 7,000,000,000 marks. Altogether she has given up property to the value of 44,978,000,000 marks. / As an earnest of her intention to observe the treaty terms and “pay the fiddler” for her dance, of death, the payments so far made are a good beginning. Among those trying to come back in politics are Joe Bailey, John Barleycorn and. High Tariff. ANGRY FROWNS | / i Somebody asks why people frown or scowl when angry. The frowning brow, the flushed face, the clenched fist and the general muscular tension are all part of what people still call the “expression” of anger. But 30 years ago William James in this country and Lange in Denmark both worked out a theory that the “expression” of an emotion really helps, to make it—that if one did not feel the scowl, the flush, the tightening muscles, and all the inward bodily changes that go with them he simply would not be angry. ~ And James asks his reader to try the experi- ment, and see how colorless the anger that he feels or tries to imagine really is when he lies back in an easy chair with a smile on his face and all his muscles relaxed. - The experiment is a good one, and it teaches a valuable lesson, for there can be no doubt that to manage the “expression” helps one to manage the emotion itself; though some of the bodily changes back of it, like the flush of the face or the altered beat of the heart, cannot be controlled so directly and so easily as that part of the “expression” which depends upon the “striped” or voluntary muscles. : ; But if the frown helps to make the emotion, _ what makes the frown? send.a delegation to the two great conventions, it must be clearly understood that they. go with no party sanction and that the parties are not re- sponsible for théir acts. The Nonpartisan Iéague has indorsed Senator Johnson, and though he is:the only candidate on the ballot he made a tour ofthe state. But he would not say a word about the'league, and he rebuffed its representatives, who had undertaken in the usual way to make arrangements for his tour. The inference is that Senator Johnson dis- approves of the league, but would like to have its votes. He was campaigning as a straight repub- lican candidate who knew no Nonpartisan, league and did not want to know it. The attitude of the other, candidates was more straightforward and courageous. His course will not help him with whatever straight republicans may be on the dele- gation. While the leaguers on the delegation will vote for him, since they have no one else to, vote for, his pointed ignoring of them will probably prevent them from working for him or doing more than cast a perfunctory vote... In all circumstances, the North Dakota delega- tion is likely to have a stormy time in both; con- ventions. The Nonpartisan league. cannot make a move that will not be instantly and rudely discov- ered by the republican and democratic ‘parties, while the attitude of the whole. convention, whether in Chicago or in San Francisco, will prob- ably be of that uncourteous kind for which’ na- tional conventions have a gift. If the Nonparti- san league manages to control either the republi- can or the democratic delegation, the position of North Dakota in that convention will be that of an outlaw state. This is a mere summing up of the certainties, mattering not whether the league is angelic or diabolic in character—New York Times. , OTHER LEAGUE BENEFITS The behavior of the state government of North Dakota of late has been of such.a character as to destroy confidence in any securities issued in this state, no matter by whom. This fact has been shown in the withdrawal of company after com- pany from the farm, loan field in North Dakota. Farm loans here are intrinsically as good as they ever were, but tliey are not considered as desira- ble by outside investors because the loose finan- cial methods whicl! have been permitted have shaken confidence. in the soundness and integrity of the state. So it is;with municipal securities. Their validity is beyond question, but they must bear the effect of the bad financing which has be- come characteristic of the state government, and there is the additional factor that municipal funds must be deposited in the state bank, whose affili- ations in some instances have been of a decidedly unfortunate character. - So it is that if thepeople of Grand Forks wish to do any paving this yeay they must be prepared to pay perhaps 5 or 10 per cent more than would otherwise ‘have been neces- It is not something made on purpose, like the sary.—Grand Forks Herald. + \ Ph tt that tt “THOUSANDS OF LITTLE EUROPE - NO MILK FOR un i“ eee ‘CTW PAPER SAVS THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF So SCARCE.
