Venus is more like the Earth in every respect than any other planet and hence is in as good a position, at least, to contain organic life, as this one. Earth is 7,919 miles in diameter; Venus 7,726 miles. Venus is only 67,200,000 miles from the sun compared to Earth’s 92,000,000. An Earth year contains 12 months; Venus has only seven months, 4 Venus has an atmosphere compared in volume to that enveloping the Earth. Venus receives per unit area about twice as much light and heat from the sun as does Earth.. The length of the day is unknown, but it is reasonable to believe it is about the same as on Earth. It is argued that because the average tempera- ture on Venus is 150 degrees while on Earth it is only 60 degrees, life on the former planet would be difficult because of the intense heat. But it is known that a dense atmospheric ring surrounds Venus, which in fact makes observations diffi- cult, and which might tend to neutralize the dif- ference in distance from the sun. There is no reason for doubting that Venus is inhabited. The only question is when will someone come along and discover something that will permit communication? . N . Editor If the Danes restore. constitutional conditions and get away with it, perhaps this country will try it. t i WHY ARE CHILDREN NAUGHTY? Children are primarily social animals. They crave companionship with adults, with playmates of their own age; failing in these they seek it. A woman had two children. There‘was some five years difference in their ages, so that by the time the second was old enough to be amused by play the elder was in kindergarten. The elder boy was never, known to run away. The little chap developed such a recurring habit of truancy that he had to spend the outdoor hours on the end of a clothes line. “Jim never.ran away,” said the mother. “Bob skips the minute he’s out of my sight.” “And how did Jim amuse himself?” she asked. ? “Why, with his pretend people,” she laughed. “He had an imaginary playmate he called “Wee- chy.’ He’d play with ‘Weechy’ by the hour. But Jim always was good, while Bob seems to have been born naughty !” ; But Bob was never born naughty! He was just born without imagination. He .was patterned from a different piece of cloth, a piece that did not have the iridescent, shifting hues of imagery. Little Bob’s practical brain could not create a po- etic “Weechy.”. He could not conjure up a dream- child as companion for his lonely play hours. So, true to his ractical instincts, he went a-seeking. It wasn’t running away. It was running after something—friendliness, companionship, and un- derstanding. ’ ' oe But Bob does not run away any more now. He is acquiring as enviable a reputation for being an angel child as his brother Jim. His dad provided him with a playmate—a dog. was It isn’t possible to define an “adequate” navy until one knows the degree of folly to be employed in our foreign policy. j JAPAN’S BAD\ MOYE Japan’s forcible seizure of Vladivostok has fol- lowed immediately upon France’s occupation of Germany’s trans-Rhine cities, So quickly does one act of imperialism breed another. Russia has done nothing to warrant Japan’s action. The explanation issued at Tokio that dan- ger to Manchuria and Korea necessitate the occu- pation of Vladivostok cannot stand examination. Manchuria does not belong to Japan. And a J: ap- anese army in Vladivostok cannot possibly influ- ence events in Korea. Japan has consistently shown an ability to deal with Korean affairs in Korea itself. The truth is, in such matters as these, Japan’s civilian statesmen must give way to the militar- ists. The Japanese war department has a\status of its own, beyond the control of the prime min- ister. Behind the war department, in the pres- ent instance, are Japanese militarists, as a matter of logical necessity. The common people of Japan have begun to fight for their political rights. Japan’s inevita- ble social revolution is now in the making. It may be a peaceful revolution, or a bloody one. Mili- tarists in every country think ‘they can overawe petitions for charters of liberty and freedom by a display of the power of the military machine. By seizing Vladivostok, the Japanese (imperial- ists) hope to distract populay attention from so- cial and political reform. It is an old game. But it cannot succeed. The military party at Tokio has seized a moment for its plan when France’s trans-Rhine adventure makes a peremptory pro- test from France and her European allies diffi- |’ cult. But in this matter America’s hands are free. Vladivostok, Russia’s only valuable Pacific port, will not become a Japanese possession. If the fair price commissions are doing their 00 | full duty as they see it, perhaps they didn’t bother to look up the meaning of the word “fair.” IN A CENTURY In the year 1820, while Monroe was president, the cost of federal government was $21,763,024, For this year the estimated expenditures of the United States government total the mammouth sum of $11,476,627,219, Until 1898 the government had never cost as much as half a billion in any year. Yet in the fate of this extraordinary advance in the cost of government, nearly a hundred mem- bers of congress propose to take vacation trips at the people’s expense. } Naval experts differed in their testimony but were unanimous in approving their own conduct. As a first step to. dividing everything the com- munist would pulverize everything with dyna- mite. 7 The difference between a dictator and one guilty of treason is that the dictator got away | with it. Still, the socialist vote won’t be very large this year unless more elected socialists are, barred from their seats. Wilson thinks Thrace rightfully belongs to Bul- garia. But, Mr. President, Bulgaria was one of those that got licked. Arms captured from bolshevik forces prove that munitions makers have recognized the soviet government if statesmen won't.

They are = sented here in order vhat our readers may have both sides of important issues which ea, mpor ng, lee ich are being discussed cy MAN! POOH, HE ISN’T EVEN CONSIDERED Women’s gowns become more daring with each successive season. One wonders what the wear- ers will resort to in, say 1950, in order to make poor bored man “take. notice.”—Denver Post. “GET CLEAN AND STAY CLEAN!” “Get clean and stay clean” is the terse slogan | under which it is proposed by committees of the Minneapolis Civic and Commerce association and the Women’s Community council to extend “clean-up” week in spirit and practice throughout the year. “Clearfup week” proper is to be merely an intensive “tidying” period. Concerted cleaning up is a good thing in all large cities—Minneapolis among the rest—follow- ing the lifting of the winter embargo. It em- braces the physical charms of the city and it makes for community good health. Enlisted in it should be boys and girls as well as adults. With the. promise of a physical cleansing we are having, happily, a performance of other kinds of cleaning—social, moral and civic. A judge has sentenced a violator of the federal pro- hibition law to a year and a day in the peniten- tiary. Keepers of various alleged houses of ill- repute have been called officially to account. A public office over which a shadow of dishonor has fallen is under grand jury. scrutiny. “Get clean and stay clean” is a slogan that properly is directed to something more than the physical aspects of the community. _ | VOX PUPILI ‘ There is little matter of choice between the de- clared platforms of Langer and Nestos. Both would carry out those things for which tha peo- ple have declared—certain public utilities, and each would favor certain amendments and im- provements on existing laws. Langer possesses the advantage of insight into and familiarity with the inner workings of the procedure of league bosses. Nestos has the advantage of no affilia- tion with the league and stands upon a cleancut |: platform, which, however, favors the original platform of the league and also is in harmony with the I. V. A. platform. ‘Either should make a good governor. The proposition'is to determine upon one of these two before the primaries as the candidate most acceptable, everything considered, to oppose the Townley selection. Steen’s out- spoken and uncompromising stand compels ad- miration, but we cannot ignore the fact that the definite and specific will of the people has been expressed at a statewide election—by direct vote. This being true, the logical gubernatorial candi- date is he who favors what the people want and give their wants a fair trial—La Moure County Chronicle, A BISMARCK DAILY. TRIBUNE mi AT THE MOVIES 4 TUMULTUOUS HONEYMOON! Bryant Washburn Has Strenu- + ous Time In “Why Smith 'Left Home” \ Bachelors will probably smile com- Placently and say “I told you so” when they see Bryant) Washburn's new Paramount-Artcraft picture, “Why .Smith ‘Left Home,” which is coming to the Bismarck theatre next more cause to brand marriage a big mistake than,..Smith, the youthful bridegroom played by Mr. Washburn. Full of highexpectations, he eloped with a pretty ‘girl, then through a series of fuhny-accidents wasn’t even able to kiss her: for'a week or more. Train wrecks, fires,-a flirtatious ser- vant girl, and finally an earthquake combined to make Smith’s debut as a benedict a tumultuous one. Only by masking as a bandit ‘and’ stealing his bride was he able to start his happi- ness right. The picture is from Geor- ‘ge Broadhurst’s farce by |the same name and is said to abound in mirth- ful situations. Lois Wilson is the leading lady, and Donald Crisp was the director. ELOPING? TRAVEL LIGHT Bryant Washburn Doesn’t In “Why Smith Left Home” If you intend trying an elopement, | jtake the advice of Bryant Washburn ‘and travel light. Mr. Washburn wants to be accommodating in run- ning off with his bride-to-be in “Why Smith Left Home,” his new Para- mount-Artcraft picture showing at the ; Bismarck theatre, and lugs three suit- cases, two hat boxes, and a dog along to the minister.’ It causes all kinds of trouble—makeg him late for the ceremony, puts an irate aunt on the trail, and gets him into a wrong berth on the train. And he loses every piece of the baggage when the train is wrecked and the “fire-proof hotel” in |’ which the pair seek a haven burns down. Although’ it’s a tumultuous honeymoon, ending up with an eartn- quake. Lois Wilson is the hero's win- some bride and looks the part, Oth- ers in the cast are of high calibre. The picture was made from George Broadhurst’s stage farce of the same name and was directed by Donald Crisp. aa eh ALICE BRADY IN PHOTOPLAY “SINNERS” A Screen, Adaptation of Her Stage Success—Strong Contrast of Country and City Life Alice Brady as Mary Horton in “Sinners,” which is now being shown on the silver sheet at Eltinge Theatre, portrays for the sgreen the role which put her in the foremost rank of Amer- icam emotional actresses.

Its phe- nomenal success created the demand for a novelized version. The book ran into many editions. The hosts who! read the book but were unfortunate not to see Miss Brady on the speaking stage, demanded a screen’ adaption of cipal role. -The screen version is de- clared to be even better than the spoken one becattse of the lack of stage limitations. ‘ j * ~~ SUCH IS LIFE | A man ought to stick to his favorite ‘weapon. ° | What do you suppose a wild man from Borneo could do with a flock of Poison gas. z Should,a Sahara Arab throw away his implements of warfare and invest in a submarine?

EVERETT TRUE WELL, DON'T BRAG ABovuT (T AROUND mE i— T HAVE: VERY DeESP CONVUCTIONS ON THAT SoBIScy Corner William and Anu Streets, New York. i ARRY McAVOY, well-known Los Angeles hotel man who says he spent a small fortune and tried every treatment money could buy without getting relief, until he tried Tanlac. Sa¥s he suffered for twenty years. , “In 1900 I suffered a general break- down and during these 20 years I ,| spent a small fortune searching for health,” said Harry McAvoy, with the Alexandria Hotel of Los Angeles, one of the largest and finest hotels in southern California. “J went to the best specialists in New York, Chicago, New Orleans and Sedttle. I tried every medicine and treatment money could buy, but the best I could do was to get a little temporary relief. Finally I gave out completely. under the strain and had to quit work altogether. I was terri- bly discouraged over my condition and felt that I would be an invalid forthe rest of my days. “JT had indigestion in its very worst form. In fact, I was a confirmed dys- peptic; nothing agreed with me:and I suffered from all the terrible symp- toms of indigestion. My heart palpi- tated so badly I thought I had heart trouble and I would get so weak and faint at times I would stagger and several times I fell flat in my tracks before I could support mfself. “I was absolutely afraid to eat, for it meant nothing but suffering after- ward (and I would have awful pains and burnings in the stomach and chest. ‘Sleep! Why, I didn’t know what it was to get a night’s sleep! I would lie_in bed a while and then get so restless I would have to get up and walk the floor- I was almost a nervous. wreck and couldn’t even sit still and write a letter. I lost much, weight and strength I was most too weak to walk, and I hon ly believe no man i this world suf- fered any more than I did.. ° “Last September I realized I could hold out no longer, and as I had read a great deal about Tanlac, I made up my'mind to give it a trial. Well, sir, it was the greatest and happiest sur- prise of my life, for I began to feel better right away. My appetite im- proved, I began to sleep better and my strength gradually returned. So i kept right on taking the medicine and in only a few weeks’s time, my troubles. had all left me and I found I had gained 15 pounds in weight. From that day to this I have posi- tively been in the best health I ever enjoyed in all my life. I never have an ache or pain. I eat anything I want and don’t suffer any bad after effects at all;‘in fact I feel Aust like a new man and have plenty of strength and energy. My nerves are steady and strong, I never have a dizzy spell and my sleep is restful and refreshing. “Tanlac has been worth its weight in gold to me and all the money on earth could not buy the good it has done me.” Tanlac is sold in Bismarck by ‘Jos.
