When and where was the constitution adopted? What was the first amendment to the constitu- tion? How many amendments has the constitution? Who wrote the Declaration of Independence? How many votes in the electoral college? - If retention of your citizenship depended upon a perfect score, how many of these questions could you answer correctly offhand, Mr. Ameri- can? Still, it is conceivable that a man may be a 100 per cent American without making a 100 per cent grade on these questions. Most of these aliens will, in the end, forget most of the facts they are learning now, but it is enough that they retain the spirit of the institutions that we call Ameri- can. William Jennings Bryan may be a trifle “shop- worn” in Nebraska, but he lands on the delega- tion to Frisco just the same. THE REAL MAGIC Thurston, the magician, says he wonders at times why people come to his show when there is so much free magic all about them. The bursting bud, the growing child, the nest- ing bird—these are manifestations of the real magic, yet who takes but passing note of them? he asks. And man’s own wizardry has become but a commonplace of the everyday life. A bell tings at one’s elbow and one places an instrument to his mouth and talks to a man who may be a thousand miles away. { Magic indeed! But it thrills no longer, any more than the casual conversation one had: with his neighbor on the street in the morning. A slight pressure of the hand on a lever lights up acity. A spark of electricity ignites a vapor and sets in motion the wheels of a vehicle. The touch of a finger on a key sends messages thru air and overseas, ; It is related in the story of Aladdin that he had but to rub his wonderful lamp, express a wish and it would be forthwith magically fulfilled. : The fairy tale of yesterday is the fact of today. One man makes a wish today and on the mor- row another man invents some new marvel that fulfills his wish. ; FATHER AND: SON When young John D. Rockefeller talks about his father dnd mother he is as human as any hu- man, as democratic as any man,and as rich, Once he told his Sunday school class: ; “There is no success as great as that of being ‘the best father in the. world’ to your little son.” And he added: “There is no other wealth comparable to that é: Of believing you have ‘the best father in the world.’” ° * Both arguments are sound to the core. Young Rockefeller never said, in all his life, anything else of greater value to young people—or old. ‘The other day, in Cleveland, the city of his birth, young Rockefeller spoke in the same vein: “I thank God for my sainted mother and for my revered father who taught me to love and serve God.” All you young people, you who have mother or father, or both, with you in the land of living, * have you ever spent a moment or two telling your father that he is the “best father in the -world,” or your mother that she is the “best mother’? “If not, do it now. And you fathers: Can you conceive of any goal higher than that of being the. “best father in the world” in your son’s eyes? Of course not! But are you trying your utmost to be that “best father”? If not, do it now. The same advice goes to mothers, although, as a matter of fact, they need little of that sort of advice. OLIVES Persons have died from botulinus poisoning as the result of eating spoiled ripe olives. This should not deter others from eating so wholesome a food. There is no greater probability of botulinus poisoning in olives than in many other food prod- ucts. The reason the bacillus botulinus gets in its deadly work is because the containers, glass or tin, are not sterilized at a sufficiently high tem- perature. Glass containers are most likely, to be under sterilized than tin, because’ the packer is| afraid of breaking the glass if too, hot water is used. f Up until this year, not olives, but string beans, asparagus and sausages were the causes of this poisoning. It has been found ‘in cheese; it is} present sometimes in stock food. But the important thing is this: In all the exhaustive investigations conducted by experts of the department of agriculture and public health service, the deadly botulinus has never been found in any kind of food that was not spoiled. All food showing even the slightest unnatural odor, unnatural color, swelling of the container, signs of gas, or any evidence of decomposition whatever, should be discarded. Botulinus is no respector of fruits, meats or vegetables. Any are dangerous which are spoiled; all are wholesome if they are in good condition. Hiram Johnson seems to be the actual heir to Roosevelt’s prestige if not the titular one. Mon- tana is the latest to fall in line. When a people makes up its mind to have free- dom, the master might as well grant it sooner as later. He can’t butcher an idea. How can John Bull love us when American Irish are twisting the lion’s tail and, American drys trying to amputate his cocktail? All hopes for even a moist plank in the Demo- cratic 1920 presidential platform goes glimmer- ing now that the Commoner has won again. Gompers has finally detected the soviet tend- encies in the management of the ‘Nonpartisan league. North Dakota has known and felt them for years. , EDITORIAL REVIEW Comments reproduced in this column may or may not express the opinions of The Tribune.

Hotels, re- served to the last barber chair, are charging $100 a room and rigidly limit the number of their oc- cupants. But in-these North Shore mansions and South Side apartments there is still sleeping ac- commodation, in bath tubs, on kitchen ranges, over bureaus and windowsills and on the floor. | In'1916 Chicago counted 12,000 visiting republi- cans in the Coliseum and scores of thousands out- side. She will not be satisfied if the coming love- feast, initiating what republicans hope will be the most irresistible march to the White House in his- tory, does not show delegates housed even in the Lake Michigan cribs. But Chicago’ householders may yet overreach themselves. As heat, brass bands and congestion become more indispensable to a presidential nomination, sleep becomes more dispensable. Few ever sleep anyway; hours’ out- side the Coliseum will be spent in hotel lobbies, telegraph rooms, long distance booths and fever- ish conferences. Naps can be sought during the three-hour nominating speeches and ‘the hour of automatic applause for leading candidates.—New York Post. i / \ THE INTERCHURCH MOVEMENT The Interchurch World Movement. is, we be- lieve, a project that should have the earnest sup- port not only of every member of the church or- ganizations that are affiliated with it, but of ev- ery Christian citizen who believes that human- ity’s greatest need today is the profession and practice of Christianity—of every man and wom- an who wishes well to humanity. The movement is a grouping of missionary, ed- ucational and philanthropic’ organizations within nominational agencies, All of these organizations do many things of the same nature. The Interchurch World Move- ment is an affitmative answer to this question: “Cannot these organizations group themselves for mutual benefit, study one another’s plans afd lit- erature, and actually do some things together; for example, conduct a united publicity and finan- cial campaign?” : Question. and answer both are obvious. The situation suggested the question, which cannot be a new one, and the question suggested the answer, which is the Interchurch World Move- ment. It is a co-ordinating organization, as we take it; an organization to prevent overlapping, to reduce ‘overhead costs by sharing them, and to give the common work the strength and im- petus of united effort, If, incidental to the start thus made, something in the nature of church consolidation untimately should come out of it, that’ téo' is an obvious need and an obvious and inevitable result, even though this is not the primary aim of the organization. When the question of affiliation was before one of the denominational bodies recently, a pas- tor of that denomination warned its members that the movement embodied danger to the independ- ent existence of some denominations. It was sig- nificant that despite this warning the members of that denomination voted overwhelmingly: to af- the several denominations, and of allied interde- | + BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE TT - <OQ> 1 RESH AIR, Tein FOP OUTDOOR EXERS!S + .

Following an attack of in- fluenza a year ago I was told by a specialist that I had incipient tu- berculosis.

You may have had an incipient tuberculosis and have \ completely overcome the trouble. In any event, however, you will do well to get pléen- ty of fresh air and good food, so that you may keep well. If you will send me your name and address I will answer the other question asked in your letter. SUCH IS LIFE, They have\invented a new method of digging out the family skeleton at Liverpool, .N.

E 2 SATLERFIE\D—= Loa GES SEGA ay a =a | North Dakota Politics | SS eee Geo. W. Galbreath of Tuttle, Kid- der county, has petitions out for mem- ber of the legislature. He is a farm- er and was very. active in the Non- partisan league, ‘ Like oghers of his neighbors, however, he hecame. dis- gusted with the Townley methods. More than 500 farmers in the north half of Kidder county have petitioned Mr. Galbreath to ran. ost of thé farmers want the ter- minal.elevators and some features af the League program, but they refuse to stand for the methods of the red machine that dominates the state— especially the fight against, ‘Langer, Hall, xositzky and Miss’ Minnie J. Nielson. ' Mr. Galbreath is an ardent support- er of Mr.‘Langer. +8 \ : HIS OLD HABIT. Minnesota is trying to keep Town- ley where he belongs—in the socialist colunin on the ballot. The Jamestown Alert has this timely comment: “Reports from Minnesota are that Townley's organizers in that state ‘are trying to get the Townely-named candidates for state offices on the regular republican’) ballot. Court proceedings may be taken to keep the Nonpartisan names off the repubd- lican ticket. “It seems to be a favorite .trick of Townley to try to get votes from the republican. column for his socialist friends’ under false pretenses. “It is a habit of the Cuckoo bird to lay its eggs in the nests of other birds for hatdhing puurposes, and whenjthe young cuckoos are hatched, to coerce the foster parents into rearing the, intruding brood, which eventually becomes so big as to monopolize about all the food brot to the nest and to finally oust the rightful birds from their home. “The republicans of \North Dakota are already on their guard against the cuckoo game being played iby Townley’s\ committees in this state in the coming election. ‘By Condo -WHAT'S THE MEANING OF THE “1)WORD “TRANSMOGRIFICATION” 2 WHY, L DON'T REALLY KNOW, LOOK I(T UP IN Cr TACO YIN A ier UDID Just Look (tT UP AND (XT MEANS — -- Ss Now Look ue; THE word =| "PesT’ = ODD PPL III?

He had awful sick headache spells nearly every day and they made him so faint and weak he would have to go to bed. his appetite was so poor that he ate practically. nothing, and his stomach was so badly upset that he could hard- ly retain the little he did eat. He was almost continually nauseated and every morning he complained of a bad taste in his mouth. His nerves were badly unstrung and he was so restless he could not sleep well. He had a pain in his side so bad that he could not lie on that side. For a year and a half he was out of school and’ he got so weak and thin I wor- ried over him all the time. “One day he read about Tanlac him- self and asked me to get him some. It was no time before he began to improve and now he really looks like a different boy entirely. His appetite is just fine and everything he eats agrees with him perfectly. The head- aches have dissappeared and he never complains. of that pain in his side. His nerves are steady and normal and he is sleeping soundly, every night. His .face has filled out and he looks better and stronger in every way. I am more grateful to Tanlac than words can express, and I will always haye a good word to say for it 2f what it has done for my son. Tanlac is sold in Bismarck by Jos. Breslow, in Driscoll by N. D. and J, H. Barrette and in Wing by H. P. Homan vt. “Many farmers and league mem- bers must see, from what has occured in North Dakota, that the main ob- / ject of Townley’s organizers, both in this: state and in Minnesota is to, ac- quire political power and patronage. The actual benefits the members really get is a secondary consider-, ation.” eee AGAINST SOCIALISM- The Napoleon Homestead explains the retirement of Carl V. Torngren, editor of the Logan County league pa- per as follows: “Car) V. Torngren, who has beén the editor and manager of the Logan County Farmer since it was moved here in January, has been ‘relieved’ this week by A. R. Kelly of Fargo. Carl’s decapitation will please the so- cialists:and will not surprise a whole lot of other people either, as he has ; declined to publish the canned dope whch is supplied weekly to the people of the state through the medium of the Townley-Brinton olive branches. Mr. Torngren has furnished his own sup- ply of editorials and he has been a'lit- tle too caustic, we fear, in the tributes he -has been paying the socialsts. He hasbeen’ refused space inthe Farmer in which to bid adieu to his friends and take a parting shot at his enemies, hence he has been granted space in the Homestead for that purpose.” ee © J.

H. Steele of this city for lieutenant governor: Much favorable comment is heard over the state jn regard to the run- ning of H. H. Steele, of Renville coua- ty, for the office of Lieuténant Gov-- ernor. Mr. Steele will make a good! man for the job. He is an experienced public official and an efficient adminis- trator; and what’s of interest to us he has always been active’ in the in- terest of this part of the state. A man who is to preside over the sen- ate should have had experience in that body, Mr. Steele was eight years in the senate and was one of the lead- ers of the Progressive Republicans. One of the big problems the next legislature must solve is the cutting down of the taxes. Five years on the state tax commission fits Mr. Steele for this important work. We hope he will be a winning candidate for the office. ea 8 When a mill has. more value on hand in bags than in wheat. it is safe bet that it is a state owneli affair.
