Mother, for instance, has a secret hope that. her first little tot isa girl. Why? Because when she grows up there will be some- body who can don the li'l ol’ kitchen apron and do the dishes. ‘Oh, she'll be a great help to her moth- er when she grows up.”” But dad might be inclined to look forward to a reg'lar little “man”? as the third member of the fam- iy. Again, why? Well, father can’t very well train a daughter to sueceed him in his business, ean he? And the funny part of the whole thing i the wee hit of a voice wails forth for the fir: who cares whether it’s Jimmy or Jennie? FOR THE GAME’S GOOD In several cities recently investigators have ex- posed gambling conditions existing at baseball parks. It is well and good sueh disclosures should come. Pitiless publicity of the kind means much for the future of the game in the United States. As one police judge said: ‘Gambling of large sums by professional gamblers 0 nbaseball games must stop. Even if it does not encourage dishonesty among the players, it at least throws the suspicion of dishonesty on them and on the games. I will promise to fine heavily anyone brought before me caught gambling at the ball park.’’ A mighty good statement. Baseball has thrived because of the very absence of anything of the kind. But. it has started to appear in nspots. Kill it before it gains any headway and baseball will be saved. oS ee na ee a ee ee ce EASTWARD HO! Americans who see in the celestial republic an opportunity for business expansion need not despair. China has a new alphabet, and edueation has really begun to prosper. Given an edueated nation, you will have a thrifty one in time. The invention of Wang Diao, who simplified the 214 characters into a collection of 38 syllabie sounds, is spreading like the gospel. The Chinese child can now learn his own language more rapidly than American children do English. Spoken Chinese is of simple syllables. Thus the syllable ‘‘chi,’? pronounéed like the English ‘‘g,’’ is used for 165 different words, and is pronounced in five different tones, all giving different meanin The syllable ‘‘ho’’ means “to bow” in the most sharply ascending tone. In a more moderate rising inflection it may mean “river,” ‘to harmonize,’’ or “what.’? Spoken in a level tone, ‘‘ho’’ means “fire.’’ With a moderately falling inflection, the word stands for ‘‘to congratulate’ or ‘‘a ealamity.”’ In the fifth tone, sharply descending, it is used for “to drink,’’ “fit’’ or ‘‘to be living.’’ DOLLARS VS. CHILDREN Women-who appeared before the Senate Publie Health Committee at Washington in behalf of the Sheppard-Towner maternity bill seriously inquired why the national Congress appropriates millions to raise better hogs and nothing to improve the eondi- tion of children. . Some of them ventured that the fathers and hus- bands in Congress had been thoughtless; that the reason they had sought to raise better hogs was to provide more food for the children. They said they thought the congressmen’s hearts were right, but they had simply erred. A few of the women were not so charitable with the solons. There are two answers to the women’s queries. One is, men representing dollars have always main- tained powerful lobbies in Washington to look after their interests. The national Congress is honey- combed with the agents of special privilege and leg- islation that has made it possible for big business to make more profits has always met with greater suecess, The children and women, who are interest- ed in the children, have maintained no paid lobbies at the capital. The other is, women and children heretofore have had no voice in the government. Farmers have, that is, the men. Congress has always felt the need of appropriating money to raise better animals to get the votes of the farmers. FOOD.GROWINK LOANS The Farm Mortgage Bankers’ association of Amer- iea is fighting the Federal Land Bank system be- cause these land banks issue tax-free bonds. Thi association has a number of fine-spun theories try- ing to prove that these bonds onght to be taxed and it is sending out much propaganda from its office, 12 West Adams-st., Chicago, to prove it. Besides, it is behind the suit in the Supreme Court that has temporarily tied the hands of the Farm Loan Board. Why should these bonds be taxed? They are se- cured by mortgages on farms, To tax them would mean double taxation. The same values are repre- sented in the land that are represented in the mort- gages or the botds,.. The farmer pays taxes on his farm, If the person holding the mortgage, or the bonds seeured by it, has to pay taxes, he will pass it on to the farmer in increased interest, thus mak- ing the farmer pay twice. Nowhere in the country do they tax farm mort- gages. The biggest. howl ever raised anywhere was down in Houston, Texas, when the late Joe Pastor- iza, at the time tax commissioner, later mayor, sought to tax mortgages, just to show that it could- n’t_ be done. Rich men who had money loaned in the city threatened to foreclose all their mortgages, Pastoriza was a single taxer, and didn’t believe in taxing such securities, and merely took this means of showing the fallacy of it. The farmer is entitled to borrow money at a low rate of interest. To tax the mortgage on his farm would only be to make him pay more interest. This in turn would have to be added to the cost of farm products, and thereby increase the cost of living. everybody knows that the farm mortgage bankers are only interested in trying to destroy the federal land banks in order to keep their monopoly on the money-loaning business, It’s a safe bet that the fabled seven-league boots didn’t have paper soles. The wider the split between Johnson and Wood, the more room there is for Hoover. He will get the most votes from women who did the most to get votes for women. What this country needs is somebody who can put the profiteers in fear of the old-fashioned hell. The man who gets 40 cents for his cotton thinks the sugar grower and the wheat grower are profi- teers, i EDITORIAL REVIEW Comments reproduced in this column may or may not express the opinions of The Tribune.

A HORRIBLE EXAMPLE North Dakota has put about a quarter of a million dollars into the famous Townley flour mill at Drake and when state officials attempted to inspect the institution and its books the other day, they were practically thrown out. George Ade once declared that ‘‘a hair lip is a misfortune, a club foot an affle- tion, but side whiskers are a man’s own fault.’’ It sure willbe Minnesota’s own fault if the Townley style of doing business is adopted here, with the North Dakota spectacle in such plain sight—Duluth Herald. ECHOES OF ROOSEVELT’S WARNING Governor S. V. Stewart resounded the dying warning of the late Colonel Theodore Roosevelt when he addressed the bankers ‘at Hunter’s Hot Springs Monday, and pointed out the un-American and socialistic doctrines of the Nonpartisan league, branding the leaders as a menace to American in- stitutions. , In the last address ever delivered in Montana, at Billings in September, 1918, Colonel Roosevelt said: “The most prominent leaders of the Nonpartisan league are playing the game of sedition and disloy- alty and are seeking to acquire power by pandering to and influencing the base spirit of greed and envy and ignorance and elass hatred. They have seen and are ‘trying to do to America what Lenine and Trotzky have done to Russia.”’ At that time United States was at war with the Tmeprial German government. Speaking of the at- titude of the Nonpartisan league during the war, Colonel Roosevelt said : “There is not a German abroad or a pro-German at home who does not wish suecess to the Nonpart- isan league under its present control, and to the I. W. W,, and they wish them suecess because they recognize them as anti-American, and as containing within them the surety of reducing this country to a condition akin to the condition into which Russia has been reduced by the bolshevists. If these men had their way a year ago, or if they had their way now, they would make our beloved nation an object of scorn to all free nations, and a by-word of hiss- ing and derision for the despotisms of the earth.” The address of the former president was so timely, and earried so much weight with it that 140,000 copies o fit were sent out from Helena at the request of the late'O. M. Harvey, chairman of the republi- can state central committee, who assisted in finane- ing the big undertaking of placing the address of Colonel Roosevelt in the hands of so many Mon- tanans, Like Colonel Roosevelt, Governor Stewart says he tried to see something good in the Nonpartisan lea- gue movement when it first started, but he soon be- rcame convineed that it was Red Card socialism in disguise, and like the Colonel, he turned from it and has become one of the most outspoken opponents of Townley, Debs, LeSueur, Lemke, Frazier and Kate Richards O'Hare, The remarks of Governor Stewart at Hunters Hot Springs are an echo of the dying warning of that far-seeing American, Theodore Roosevelt, and it will be hard to make anyone in Montana believe that Colonel Roosevelt and Governor Stewart were or are mistaken about the Townley outfit, however much one element of the republiean party in this state may do eo seek the political support of the so- cialistic leaders of the league—Helena Independent. | HEALTH ADVICE BY UNCLE SAM, M. D. Conducted Under the Lirection of the U. S. Public Health Service a ee The Most Valuable Machine If a man were to look after his ‘ | | | business in the same slip-shod sort | of way, that men look after their health, how long would that business live? How long would it last? If a man were to run his limousine, or the engines in connection with his industry, year in and year out with- out ever having an expert engineer or an expert motorist or chauifer carefully overhaul thi machines, how long would they last? Imagine any sane man never hay- ing the machinery in connection with his industry or his conveyance over- hauled until it broke down, then to be informed by the expert that he re- gretted to say that irreparable dam- age'had been done and it could only be disposed of for junk. Tet us ‘be sane, and have our body machinery examined every six months or 12 months, and pay our physicians for keeping us well, and not for try- ing to cure one of those degenerative diseases which come on us so insidi- ously that they are not recognized until they have become incurable. Re- member, most of these diseases have yo symptoms that can be detected by the patient until they are far advanc- ed. How many men have discovered for the first time that they had a serious heart defect or chronic Bright’s disease or hardening of: the arteries, when they presented them- selves for examination for life insur- ance, Mm a recent -investigation embrac- ing the examination of 2,000 young men and women in different occupa- tions in New York City it was found that there was suflicient impairment of the heart and kidneys or arteries or liver in 59 per cent of the total number of these persons to demand that they be referred to their family physician. Better ¢all on your doctor today and have him give you a thorough exam- ination. Q. Will morphine tablets deaden nerves? Are they dangerous to take? Will aspirin tablets deaden nerves? Is it against the law for druggists to sell morphine tablets to anyone? “GLADYS L.” A. It is very, very dangerous to take morphine tablets or other prepar- ations to “deaden nerves.” The vic- tims of the morphine habit suffer the greatest agony. If you are not well by all means consult a reputable phy- sician to find out what is wrong. Un- der no circumstances take morphine or other preparations to ‘“deaden nerves.” It is absolutely illegal for a druggist to sell morphife tablets ex- cept on a prescription, and even then there are strict restrictions under which he may dispense them. Q. Is there any cure for a person who has lost his “scent” recently? I believe it comes from catarrh, A. 1 presume you mean, that you have lost your sense of smell, though unfortunately in some forms of ca- tarrh the patient acquires a most dis- agreeable “scent.” As a rule little can be done to restore the scense of smell, though some improvement may be effected by suitable local treat- ment. Be sure to consult a good nose and throat specialist and have him advise you. Do not make use of any so-called “catarrh cures’ widely ad- vertised. SAVES -DROWNING MAN; .

THE BIG NOISE 47 we WA SAG AN ii “ ve, A BEAR | Wo Ny Y NT HIRAM ¢ De tn The G..O. P. convention is one grand conglomeration of noise. And the biggest noise of all is that made by deep voiced Hiram Johnson and the lusty-lunged boosters of his who are on from Cal- If noise will win—noise created with a keen sense for psychological effect—the look out for Hiram and listen for his “big noise.” THOSE DELEGATES PLEDGED COST $400,000 PROBE REVEALS At That Rate It Would Cost Nine Millions to Win a Unanimous Nomination. Hi Johnson Blamed for Expose Chicago, June 5.—New records in the high cost of delegates have been set by the 1920 G. O. P. convention. Vote-buying has also become more public. Popular sentiment toward the practice is evidently more cynical. (Never has so much money been spent on a pre-convention campaign. Election costs have run into the mil- lions. The first campaign run by, ‘Mark Hanna, the 'McKinley-Bryan free silver campaign. of 1896, cost about four millions. That was regarded as an “orgy of political corruption.” The campaign run by George B. Cortel- you for Roosevelt in 1904 cost less than two millions. : ever No pre-convention campaign before touched the million dollar mark, Such campaigns cost *some- thing. They have to be “financed.” Halls have to be hired, railroad fare and hotel expenses of speakers and organizers paid, advertising, printing and such expenses have to be met. But these bills have, in the past, been met in part by local organizations, and never have been large. Pay Delegates in New Way Roosevelt's campaign of 1912, when he was a primary candidate against Taft, the expenses ran soéme- thing over a hundred thousand dol- lars. This was subscribed by Frank Munsey, George Perkins and a few personal friends. The payment of money directly to delegates, as the Lowden manager did to get Missouri, according to the re- cent testimony before the Senate Committee, is a new thing in pre- convention campaigns. Jt is not against any law, as the laWs now are. The theory is that all these party ac- tivities are “voluntary” and unofficial and may be pure or as corrupt as the party managers think best for their party and its candidates, The next thing, of course, to buy: ing the delegates beforehand, in thei In respective states, would be to buy and! EVERETT TRUE THIS ACRGEMENT Kooks ALL RIGHT. UM WILLING TO HAvG’ You You Bet — IT'S ONS TL FOUND IN A HOTEL sell them in the convention hall—to put them up at auction and let the candidates bid for them openly. For years it has been notorious that Southern delegates to Republican con- ventions have ‘been bought. No reai Republican Party exists in the South and the delegations to conventions are hand-picked political hacks, who, once every four years, make a little “easy money” this way. ; _ 360 Delegates Cost $2,400,000 The purchase of Missouri votes by Lowden at $2,500 does not indicate ‘the real market price of votes. On the basis of $400,000 spent by Lhe Lowden managers (see testimony be- fore. Senate Committee) ,and the claim of 80 votes pledged, his votes cost about $5, apiece. The Wood voies nave cost thore. Conservatively figured they have cost about $11,500 apiece—the 155 pledg- ed. The Johnson people admit spend- ing (including California) $200,009, They claim 115 pledged delegates, which would make the cost of each dolegate about $1,75 This, the John- son managers would claim, has been spent on primaries, not on vote buy- ing, or the purchase of local political bosses “who can deliver their dele- 400,000, or $6 would a majo delegates cost? 850 apiece, how much of the convention’s Answer, about $4,- 80,000. And, if the convention were unanimous? About Nine Million Dol- Jarst All Are Sore at Hiram Practically what will be the effect of the exposure of the “saturnalia of pre-convention corruption?” First, of course, it makes the big \ bosses tired to have it turned out offi- cially by a Senate Committee anl they are inclined to blame Johnson for “instigating” Borah to this “un- { friendly” act. Second, it dampens the enthusiasm iasm—for the Wood and Lowden can- didacies. Third, it suggests difficulties at the elections if one of the “buying” can- didates is named. ‘Fourth, it increases the prospect that the “big five’ will sit behind c'osed doors and rule out the present favorites and decree that only a “dark horse"—like Charles E. Hughes—can wipe the slate clean and start the race free of the handicaps of scandal and bitterness. ee hE JUST JOKING | % Worthy Thoughts “Couldn't you have fixed up the flivver yourself?” asked Mrs. Chug- s,” answered her husband, “but | I like to take it to the shop once in a while.

He wed an heiress for her gold, next week her father failed and every- thing he had was sold that he might not be jailed. George signed his chattels to his wife to put his debts on. toast, then she eloped and left his life with one he owed the most. So often had our friend been can- ned’ and stung with cheerful ease that he sat down one ddy'and planned an enterprise with bees. Said he, ‘I'll go to Cuba's isle be- neath the southern sun and I will smoke cigars the while my bees bring in the mon. “The flowers bloom ever in that clime, there is no winter drear; the bees will hustle all: the time, I'll get two crops a year.” Now George’s little workers sweat, a happy man was he until it hap- ears, “Why store this food away, when here forever nature rears her nutri- tive bouquet?” They caught the point and George was left with empty honeycomb, and of his money all bereft, came sailing sadly home. ’ He mopes about the neighborhood, “T only wish,” says he, “for one brief nerve I could have met that Cuban jee.” BISMARCK THEATRE Tonight William ‘Fox will present his delightful star, ‘Miss Shirley ‘Mason, in a new comedy, “Molly and I,” bas- ed on Frank R. Adams’ story “Molly and I and the Silver Ring,” at the Bismarck Theatre. The pretty little actress is said to have a role that is admirably suited to her great talents and attractive personality. It is des- cribed as a comedy with a heap of wholesome fun and just enough of pthos to make it doubly entertain- ing. An excellent supporting cast, h ad- ed by the always clever Albert Ros- coe, supports the star. There are many beautiful scenes in the picture, some of them being laid in an Italian garden, : Howard M.

Sheldon is making a study of in- dustrial conditions in the United States with a view to making known his view of “What would Jesus do in the industrial world today?’ The well known pastor and author spent. several days in the Kansas coal fields. The earliest known attempt to con- struct a motorcycle was made by w. W. Austin of Winthrop, Mass,, in 1868.
