SEAS THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER - (Established 1873) <> \ THE YAP PERIL Considerable trouble of an international flavor may be dug up if the Island of Yap is transferred | to the Jap, British information indicates this dis- position of Yap. Senator Lodge is curious to know if it’s true. He pressed the administration for details. There are all sorts of vexatious _prob- lems wrapped up in it. If the transfer is made, will the inhabitants of the Island of Yap continue being Yappers, or will they become Yapanese? That’s somethjng td worry about! Or will they be Yap-Japs? But one thing is sure: Uncle Sam won’t be caught. nap- ping if the Jap should try to annex Yap to Nip- pon. Let’s be fair about it. The treaty was laid' on ice by the chap who invented the game of poli- tics. 3 JUMPERS : It won’t be long now until the schools and col- leges begin holding their annual track meets. Broad, high and hurdle jumpers again will at- tempt to break leaping records. And they again will prove that man is a third-rate jumper ‘when compared with other living, things. é The broadest leap, made by Peter . O’Connof, within a fourth of an inch, of 25 feet in 1901, merely equaled George Washington’s fdmous jump. Man may have progressed-in other lines of endeavor, but not in jumping. He thinks exceed- ingly well of himself when he Gumps four times his heighth. Yet the flda can jump a hundred times its length, and the grasshopper can hop 200 times the length of its body. |: However, man should worry becguse the flea and hopper can oyt-jump him! . He has the rail- road, street car and automobile. You'd never catch the flea hopping if it rode in a flivver, would you? Thirteen may be Wilson’s lucky number, but the 23 faithful democratic senators didn’t help him much. . ; : A TIRED JUDGE , The other day in Chicago a judge of the su- perior court resigned. He said he was sick and tired of hearing divorce cases. That was his reason. He didn’t say much about the men who seek divorce. But as to the women, he gave it out that idle women and women seeking excite- ment were the ones who most frequently appeared asking divorces. Somewhere they have told that the devil always finds plenty of work for idle hands to do. Per- haps the devil is looking especially after the idle woman who wants “excitement.” Sane; healthy, normal women need seldom to be idle. Few of them are. A few fairies in the home, or a couple of harum-scarum boys, will give wives so much to think about, and to do that idle- ness would be banned. The same causes. would supply plenty of excitement, too. / Depend upon that. One can hardly blame a judge for being tired of listening to those thousands of tales of marital woe. But ‘one cannot agree with the statement he made. This is it: “Marriage does not mean any- thing any more.” Yes, Marriage does, mean something. It means as much as it ever did, It means by right, love, and home, and children, and human happiness, It has always meant that! i We can read between the lines in “Marse Jim’s letter the real sacrifice. $15,000 helps mightily to cut down the H.C. L. FRANCE’S VENTURE © In serious times, it is necessary to speak seri- ously. President Wilson’s accusation of militar- ism against France .has received its justification: France wants to annex both banks of the Rhine. That is the reason why France separated herself from her allies, and began a dangerous game of imperialistic adventure. Just before the downfall of the Romanoffs, France made asecret treaty with the czar, un- known to the-other allies, whereby Russia agreed ~ to support at the peace conference, France’s claim to annex the eastern bank of the Rhine. The bol- shevik published this treaty and repudiated it. But, France never abandoned the plan. It is a dream that dominates all her statesmen. France saw an opportunity in the Ruhr dis- . turbances to send her troops across the Rhine to ‘restore order. But, the allies objected. ‘The in- surrection was a German domestic matter. The German government was capable of suppressing it. Nevertheless, since the peace treaty, for other reasons, prohibited a German troop movement in the Ruhr area. France seized upon. this techni- cality to object. ‘The German troops, however, went ahead, and France insisted upon seizing Ger- man cities across the Rhine as hostages some- how, somewhere, France wants her troops across the Rhine. - France was undoubtedly influenced predomi- nantly by the idea that Gréat Britain and the United States cannot afford to see Germany vic- torious in another war. Therefore, though the British and American governments may object to France’s imperialistic venture, they must come to |. France’s aid in self-defense, if another war re- sults. That is a theory which may not work out in practice. France as an aggressor in a war for imperialism, and France fighting against German militarism are not the same—France might well ponder that fact. The attorney general of New Jersey says the 18th amendment is revolutionary. At any rate it isn’t as revolting as the thing it put out of business. : As a protest against the high cost of shoes Vienna fashionables will go barefoot. That’s all well enough, but what about the high cost of trousers? : My EDITORIAL REVIEW Comments reproduced in ‘this column may or may not express the opinions of The Tribune.

Yes, and A. C. Townley and Mr. Hagan of the much advertised Fargo shake-down bank—both convicted—are still running at large instead of serving time. What big business influence is be- hind these men ?—Times-Record. WHO WILL BE THE GOAT? When the Townley convention gathers in Grand Forks next week, and the distribution of nomi- nations as rewards to the faithful begins, it is ‘a safe bet that there is one ngmination for_which there will be no rush of candidates. That is superintendent of public instruction. The vote which Miss Minnie J. Nielson received in. the recent presidential preference primary when she was a candidate for delegate to the re- publican national convention give a slight idea, of the estimation in which she is held by the voters of the state. She ran far ahead of the rest of the Independent ticket, and it was plain that a large number of electors who had voted against the other Independent candidates had made an’ ex- ception in her favor. Had women been allowed .td vote in the election, as they ‘are for the state superintendéency, her majority would have been overwhelming. : ’ , It is well known that many leaguers who are otherwise implicitly obedient to the commands of the big boss think that Miss Nielson has been shabbily treated, and will vote for her in the com- ing election regardless of the boss’s commands. Under all the circumstances it is painfully evi- dent to Mr. Townley and his henchmen that any leaguer running against Miss Nielson will have about as much chance of success as the proverbial snowball in the nether regions. The rank and file of the party recognize this as well as the leaders and no one is showing any eagerness to undertake the thankless task of becoming a cand- idate. Even reluctant Niel Macdonald, who hung onto the job with hands, feet and eyelashes after being fairly snowed uhder~by Miss Nielson, does not seem to be anxious to try conclusions again with the lady from Barnes county.‘ Miss, Nielson has been a thorn in the flesh to the socialist administration. She has never been forgiven for having defeated Reluctant, Niel, and the fact the uhjustice of the treatment she has suffered has been ond of the greatest factors in arousing the wrath of the people of the state against the Townley government has not tended to make for more kindly feelings towards her. If Townley finally decides that it will be use- less to oppose Miss Nielson or if he is unable to find a candidate willing to make the attempt, it will be a bitter pill for him to swallow. The man who will volunteer to carry the Townley banner in this fight will win the undying gratitude of the big chief, which is ,certainly-a reward which any loyal socialist should be willing to strive for: So step up, gentlemen.

It is a well-known axionr that public health is, within certain lim- its, a purchasable commodity, and that each community practically fixes by its sanitary policy its sickness and death rates from such preveni-| able diseases as typhoid fever, malaria, tuberculdsis, smallpox, etc. The best indication of the adequate or inade- quacy with which a community is handling its health problems is shown in the ability of the existing health organization to lessen the prevalence of sickness.
