Johnny carves the dining room mahogany, and He wanders up the street in the dangerous path of automobiles, and. mother weeps again. He appropriates some small change from where it has been left on the kitchen shelf; still Johnny has committed’ a theft. ’ And yet because mother always dissolves into in- * jured tears Johnny has been given no aid in dis- criminating for himself between this type of mis- * demeanor and that. ve If mothers only could think up as many kinds of punishments as children find naughty things to do! For that is what life does to us. If we grown- ups always knew what the punishment would be, what decreasing restraint would we feel in break- ing the law! Suppose the only result of speeding ~ an automobile were the payment of a fine instead of sometimes broken bones. Or that money alone could pay for the destruction of property instead of the added possibility of “getting a bad name with our neighbors,” and social ostracism. The fear of serving a term has kept many a man from committing the crime his revenge would have con- summated. had he been sure money alone would have paid. Fitting the punishment to the crime is a law ot the adult world, and it is this same world that Johnny must learn to find his way about in. He must learn to classify his misdemeanors; those which are moral, like theft; those which are wanton, like. property destruction; those which are foolhardy, like running into danger. ‘They'll not. give him always the same knocks when he grows up, so why should he be led to expect they will now? The price cannot be paid i in every case by his mother’s tears nor his own remorse. The kiddies, dear little souls, have to learn as kiddies to pay, because childhood impressions are the lasting and fundamental ones. ) SHOES Italy apparently intends to continue in the shoe business. From a comparatively small beginning the Ital- ian government has increased the number of fac- tories working for ‘its account until nationat shoes now constitute nearly 50 per cent of the total do- mestic production. There aye at present 54 firms, about 80 per cent of whose production, or 37,650 pairs per day, is for the account of: the Italian government. The government factory prices for these shoes —there are severi grades—run from 17 «lire ($3.27) for girls’ high Blucher shoes, up to 33 lire ($6.37) for men’s high shoes, with boys and wom- en’s shoes coming in between. The price to the public of these same two grades are $3.86 and $7.43 respectively. For the distribution of the national shoes, a sys- tem of warehouses has been established through- out Italy. These receive the shoes from the fac- tories, inspect them to see that they conform ‘to the specifications issued by the government, and distribute them to the retailers authorized to sell to the public. In order to insure distribution to those most in need and least able to pay large prices, and to prevent speculation, the national shoes are deliv- ered only in exchange for a ticket good: for one pair of a specified type. These tickets are issued by the local prefectures and are valid only for a limited period. In authorized shops a list of the various types and prices of national shoes must be displayed at all times, and under no circum- stances can any greater price be demanded. a ee OLD FRIENDS’ What has become of “Ragged Dick” and “Tom the Bootblack” and the rest of Horatio Alger’s poor but honest boys without whom once no pub- lic library was complete? Inquiry at most public libraries will show that these boyhood friends of men who now are past 30 have been banished from the shelves and their places taken by young heroes who in the last quarter win football games when they are all but lost; or who do wondérs with wireless machines; or who invent new-fangled airplanes. Two generations of men treasure as cherished memories the long vacation days of boyhood passed in the inspiring company of Alger’s tat- tered heroes who always made good: ‘There were “Ragged Dick” who in the last chapter married the banker’s daughter andlived in a brown stone mansion on Fifth avenue; and “Joe, the Peddler” ‘who became the junior partney in the firm of a man whose daughter he rescued; and “Tom, the Bootblack,” who ‘by thrift ahd industry, rose to fame and fortune; and‘a host of others. " Of all the new company of boy wonders who now fill the shelves of. the children’s rooms of |’ public libraries which one jvill‘live so tong in the minds of their admirers as the Alger boys who are off the shelves, but gre he held so fondly in mem- ory? { 7 EDITORIAL REVIEW ttt ttt te at tt tt ttt neta Comménts reproduced in this column may or may not express the opinions of The Tribune. The: sented here in order what our readers may sides of important issues which are being discussed in the press of vie day. “THEY SHALL NOT PASS!” The die has been cast. eee Townleyism will be dead and buried after the forthcoming elections in Logan and MelIntosh counties, and in North Dakota as well, we hope. But—Townleyism has resulted very much in a “campaign of education,” after all. Many, nany people who have been wont not to “bother them- selves” about, politics in the past have now be- come so “bothered” by conditions that have come into being in Nérth Dakota until as the results of the general elections of recent ‘years they find they are gaining quite’a plenty of “educational campaigns” of the kind that has been slipped over |. ” on them by such sculn as Townley, Mills, and the rest of the Kate O’Hare tribe that has infested and overrun our fair land with “membership” and “stock” sale swindles of numerous variéties, in addition to looting each and every corner: of the state of its public monies. It has often been said that “boughten experi- ence comes higher, but it lasts longer.” About 25 years ago the people of Kansas were’ cleaned up by a Townley outfit in the same manner that North Dakota is being robbed today. We predict that it will be at least another 50’ years—and we hope not then—before a return of the Townley army may again be able to, pull the wool over the eyes of the people of North Dakota. Yes, it’s a “campaign of education” all right, and like all other kinds of education the “toll” or “tuition” comes a little high. ‘But the lessons we have learned are deplorable rather than profit- able. If the people of neighboring states permit the Townleyites to hoodwink them after those people have had ample opportunity to profit at the ex- pense of North Dakota, we have no sympathy for any of them excepting those who may heed the lessons we have learned but may otherwise be un- able to help themselves. ' “They shall not pass!” is a slogan The Home- stead suggests for every God fearing, home-lov- ing North Dakota citizen in the forthcoming bat- tle against the socialists and carpetbaggers who are otherwise known as the North Dakota bole shevikis. “They shall not pass!’—Napoleon Homestead. THE TRUE GRANDEUR OF GOLF ‘ This is going to be a “great year” in golf. Everybody says so, which proves, of course, that it must be true. Expert writers on golf are at one with ordinary players in rubbing their hands over the alluring prospect. What they have main- ly in mind is what might be.called the “high lights” ofthe game. Exciting contests are in store. British professionals.are to compete in our open championship. Some of our top-notch pro- fessionals are to test their skill, or try their luck, in England. Amateurs are in like manner to make international exchange—as if they were mere college\ professors. Moreover, the full re- bound from the war is expected to show itself in golf this year. A man can swing his clubs with- out fear of hearing somebody cry out “Slacker!” And money which had been held up for:the pur- pose of laying out new. links or enlarging and im- proving old courses will now be freely expended. All this portends the great year in golf. To the general mass. of golfers, however, the big matches of; the skillful seem but the frills and vanities of their favorite game. To watch Hagen or Ouimet play, to be in the gallery at the finals of the’ amateur.championship—even to have a (small) wager on..the outcome—none of these things goes ‘to’ the essence of the spell which golf lays upon its ‘votaries. No spectator can know the thrill of the contestant. And the real “great- ness” of a golfing year is wholly independent of the feats of champions. It lies, rather, in the numbers of those upon whom the fascination of the game descends for the first time/ as well as of those in whom the spring renews it. The starting up of new. clubs and the laying out of added holes; the speeding of motors'to the links; the enlarged waiting lists; the arraying of youths and graybeards. alika for the sport in which one man plays against another but most of all against himself—such signs of the advancing appeal of golf. in all parts of the country are what rein- forces the conviction that its greatness resides in the “joy in widest commonalty spread.”—New York Post. President Wilson can best destroy the last rem- nants of his prestige by standing for a third term. —Detroit Free Press. New York is ‘going it alone on daylight saving to make up for the lost liberty of making a night of it—Washington Post. nA ANY LON .

BUTTS, of Kansas City, who says her life was miserable for’ two long years be- fore she begay taking Tanlac. She now declares she is enjoying the bes: of health and that she + has gained twenty pounds. — “If it had not‘been for Tanlac [ would still’ Le a sick woman, so I feel like I ought to tell everyone what this wonderful medicine has done for me,” was the sincere statement made re- cently by Mrs. .R. T. ‘Butts, 1924 Troost ‘Avenue, Kansas. City, Mo. “By the help of Tanlac L have got- ten rid of a severe case of neryous in- , digestion: that had made my-li¥e mis- erahle for the past two years, I could not eat. anything without suffer- ing afterward. The gas on my stom: ach would yise up into my chest and press on my heart and at times would almost cut off my breath, My nerves were so. up-set that the least unex- pected noise would almost distract me. 1 selddm-slept.well and was so nervous I would often roll and toss until after midnight and what little sleep I did: get seemed to do me no good. I was also a great sufferer from headaches and would often get so dizzy I would have to hold. on to something to keep from falling. “One day T happened to see a testi- monial for Tanlac, describing a case like mine, so J bought a bottle and be- fore I had finished it I began to feel just like a different person. Those terrible headaches disappeared and my appetite returned. When my first bottle was gone I got another and | kept on mproving until now I can ert Just anything 1 want and I never suffer any more from indigestion. | am not the least. bit nervous and rest well at night and never know what it is to have a headache.or a dizzy spell, “Tanlac has nof only relieved me of my suffering, . but“ -have’ actually gained 2% pounds in’ weight and have not enjoyed such’ good health for years, , Tanlac is certainly a wonder- ful medicine and I will always feel grateful for..what it has’ done. for me. I want to recommend this medicine to all my friends because I believe it will ‘benefit Anyone whois suffering as I did.” Tanlac is sold in Bismarck by Jos, Breslow in Driscoll by J..H. and N. D.
