Every labor movement throughout the world has its left wing of discontent. Nature ab- hors unanimity of opinion. In Great Britain, where the labor party is po- litically very strong, it is not socialistic. A left wing, consequently has developed, known as the Independent Labor party. Its program is the es-| \ tablishment of a socialistic society... In Germany, where the socialists are’ in power, a left wing also has been developed. I is called the Independent Socialist party. It wants to es- tablish soviet government. \ In Russia, where the soviets rule, theré is still aleft wing. It is the Anarchist party. It is con- stantly working to overturn the bolsheviki and to substitute government which is the absence of government. If an anarchist government is ever established anywhere, ft will undoubtedly have a left wing of its own. Probably its program will demand the execution of good babies who never cry, and the careful rearing of all howling little protestants against life. You can say one thing about’ this one-half of 1 per cent stuff. It doesn’t make a man weep about ‘his troubles. NEWS , A newspaper is the sole judge of the value of news as such. Newspapers have a right to decide for themselves what. is news, regardless: of the effect on any one. 2 Such is the tenor of a decision of the Illinois | appellate court in the case of a candidate for of- fice who sued a Chicago newspaper because it failed to print his name on a facsimile of a por- tion of a specimen. ballot. “According to the plaintiff's argument,” the court said, “the defendant (the newspaper) is ‘liable not. for what, it did, but for what it re- frained from doing. Such, indeed, is a novel prop- osition. To make the defendant liable for its sil- ence we must hold that it was obligated to pub- lish in its paper the whole of the facsimile judi- The court is eminently right. Freedom to print It is no more just to compel a newspaper to print. what it does not want to print than it is to compel it to refrain from printing what it wants to print. In this case the paper in question judged that the candidate had no chance of election and was not a serious contender. It had a right to that view. In the old days when there was peace and or- der ‘in the land, people didn’t depend oi the ouija MEASURES OF LENGTH There is a very old Greek saying that “Man is the measure of all things,” and it is as true of lit- eral measures of length as it is of good and evil. The “foot” is simply what its name implies— the length of a man’s foot in its shoe. The “span’” (nine inches) is the distance he can reach with outstretched thumb and little finger. His “hand” (four inches wide) is convenient for measuring. around a little glass measured liquids still re- The “yard” is a good long pace, or the distance from nose to finger tip. The seaman’s “fathom” is his height as he stands in the water, or the full stretch of his arms—a convenient measure for rope: The “mile,” the name implies, was a thous- and double paces of Roman soldiers marching. It. was natural that all these measures should be adjusted enough to fit each other—three hands in a foot, two spans in a cubit, three feet or two then, as the need for accuracy grew, they all got standardized ; so that in Great Britain now a legal “yard” is the distance at 62 degrees of tempera- ture, between two little lines on two gold plugs in a certain bronze bar at Westminster. Such measures grew up naturally, and they all varied a little from country to country, until France stopped measuring by the human body al- based on the size of the earth, but standardized by reference to a certain bar of platinum in Paris * by which to test one’s motor sticks. ye, But if man has ceased to be the measure of all things, why should he make one of his earth? |The length and speed of light-waves are measures which could be used in any world. NEW VALUES : Human values, like other values, are being re- vised upward. Old furniture is selling almost at original prices and middle-aged men and crippled men are discovering in themselves unsuspected social worth. Who does not remember the olden days before the war—one, thinks of them already as days in the far past—when the middle-aged worker was regarded as one ready for the shelf?. His plight was the problem of sociologists and economists. What was to be done. with him or for him wag a favorite topic of sociological discussion, When he applied for a job the gray on his tem- ples spoke against him and he was, turned down for a younger man. But today he is no longer a “problem.” He has been taken off the shelf and restored to useful, ness, A survey of “want ads” in any newspaper will disclose such “ads” as this inserted by an in- dustrial concern in a large city: ; MIDDLE-AGED MEN “In Good Health We want to talk to you.

EDITORIAL REVIEW Comments reproduced in this column may or may sented here in order \hat our readers may not express the opinions of The Tribune, They are have both sides of important issues which are being ‘discussed im the press of the day. THE OVERALL SYMBOL Tha recent rebellion against high costs, which has taken the form of agreements to dress in overalls and ginghams, is both a good sign and an evil omen. t The change to plain garb is a move toward economy which the nation may well encourage; the tendency to “be in style” and to adopt the fad of the moment suggests a continuation of that trait which has brought the country to its pres- ent serious economic difficulties. It is not the man who wears overalls, or the woman who wears ginghams, because the crowd does, who will establish the practice of thrift— since the crowd is rather mercurial in its tastes and is likely to shift to some new fad on short notice. : The man or woman who can consult his or her own good common sense, and_ follow its dictates, will establish the economy and start the proces- sion in the only direction in which the nation can find its economic salvation.—Battle Creek, Mich., Enquirer and Evening News. : , ASK ANY MARRIED WOMAN The Nebraska woman who was granted $22,000 in a breach of promise suit—a thousand dollars for each year she lived on the promises of her fiance—did better than a good many women do who marry.—Denver Post. : It is regrettable to think that there have some- times been dark horses who turned out to be not horses at all, but only kiddie kars.—New York: Post. .| er equal nor second.” ISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE Kansas Democrats plan to wear denim suits to the State Convention i “HE HAS NO EQUAL OR SECOND.” ttre tn tet ttn nce testa “Oblivion is the law of ‘nature.” Shakespeare continues to defy it.

His real school was the country- side about Stratford and the Forest of Arden for the first 20 years of-his |) life; after that, the great city of Lon- don. One tradition makes him his father’s apprentice for a time. An- other says he was‘a clerk, He must have obtained considerable knowledge of the law from some source. Almost as soon as he reached London he got into one of the two theaters then established there—tradition says: as a “prompter’s attendant,” or ag we would term it today, “call boy.” He became anjactor of small parts, work- ed his way up,.then ventured out as ee “The Bard of Avon” a playwright. His first original work was the comedy, “Love's Labour's Lost,” written about 1591. Following, came the voluminous works of com- edy and tragedy, which bear his name. Shakespeare has had a more pro- found influence on English literature than perhaps any other writer. He is quoted, unknowingly, by millions of iknglish-speaking people, many of whom never read one of his plays. Every schoolboy learns to recite: “Friends, ‘Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears.” i ‘Many a person quotes, “Something is rotten in the state of Denmark” without realizing that he is quoting from Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Who has not said, “Brevity is the soul of wit!” And how many know it is Shakespeare’s? “(Neither a borrower nor a lender be, for loan oft loses both itself and friend,” is common enough, but who attributes it to Shakespeare “To be or not to be; that is the question: Whether it is nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or to take arms. against a sea of troubles, and’ by op- posing end them!”—Who has "not quoted it? “How sharper than a ‘serpent’s tooth | it is to have a thankless ih without realizing that the Bard of Avon wrote it in King Lear The controversy over the authen- ticity of Shakespeare’s works—wheth- er “Shakespeare” was really Bacon— has of late years died down.

HELPFUL HINTS TO HOME GARDENERS GIVEN BY COLLEGE Suggests Planting of Lettuce and Radishes With Later Crops Agricultural College, N. D., April 28. —The raising of early lettuce and radishes in the farm garden that is horse cultivated is often not entirely satisfactory.
