We all know that in crowds we frequently act as we would not were we alone and thinking— and A. C. Townley and his followers know this. They have profited by it. With an American flag in the background Gov- ernor Lynn J. Frazier told the audience that he recommended the release of Kate Richards O’Hare because he thought she, who was accused of com- paring mothers of soldiers to brood sows and who had a long, fair trial in federal court, was the victim of political persecution. ‘ He pointed to the commutation of sentence by the president to ease his conscience. But he did not tell his audience that he wrote the letter ask- ing her pardon on September 13, 1919, nearly nine months before the president acted and less than a year before the last American soldier gave his blood in Flanders fields. But his explanation was not that of the chair- man who completed it. “This is the only coun- try in the world one-half civilized that is keeping its political prisoners in jail,” he said. This statement the crowd cheered—cheered much greater than the governor’s explanation. The word political prisoner in European countries to which the speaker alluded has a much different meaning from the attempted use in the O’Hare case. They do not call a woman who preaches sedition in war-time a political prisoner. “Ninety-nine per cent of the mothers that sent sons to war sent them against their best judg- ment,” a speaker said, and again he was cheered. Here and there a speaker draped himself, fig- uratively, in the American flag, but it was a transparent robe. Again: “There is but one 100 per cent Ameri- can, and he is the soldier lying dead in France.” Loud applause once more. ‘diminish the severity of the defect in the others.| GRADUATION EXERCISES OF ST. ALEXIU And being a woman will not save a person from CLASS’ ARE TO BE HELD THIS EVENING night blindness as it may from color blindness. Not all qualities are inherited according to the same rule. Each must be worked out for itself. But the more inheritance is studied the more im- portant it is seen to be for mind as well as for body. All men were not born equal, and whatever one may do to equalize opportunities the original differences remain. . WILL HE PASS? Every mother in the land who has a youngster or so in school is probably wondering one little important wonder these days—will he pass? And in turn it ought to make everybody won- der if mother and dad ever stop to think that a great deal of it depends on the help sonny gets at home. It’s looked upon as a great handicap, by the lit- tle folks, when they slip behind the class of kid- dies they started out with. One slip certainly must leave some sort of an impression. And it’s not likely to be a very favorable one. If a child starts slipping early in life it is that much easier to slip later on. To give him the best of starts in life, mothers and dads, why not sacrifice an evening or so each week and lend a hand with little lessons that seem trivial to you, but mean a heap to your girl or boy? ——— European hotels are preparing for the rush of American thirsts. “Its a long, long way from a cross of gold to a bath of grape juice. Well-timed silence hath more eloquence than speech.—Martin Tupper. The Poles are still marching eastward to con- tinue being menaced by th Bolsheviks. Back in the gentle stone age the profiteer knocked ’em on the head before frisking their pockets. Chinese carpenters get only eight cents a day. Why don’t they take their queue from the A. F. of L.? , EDITORIAL REVIEW Comments reproduced in this column may or may not express the opinions of The Tribune. They are pre: sented here in order \hat our readers may have both sides of important issues which are being discussed im the press of the day. MRS. O’HARE’S PARDON No incident in state or national politics has jmore incensed the good people of North Dakota than the pardoning of Kate Richards O’Hare, the woman convicted at Bismarck two years ago of seditious utterances. It was here in North Da- kota that the woman gave utterance to the ex- pression that mothers who brought up soldiers A candidate was introduced and the chairman explained he was a member “of the World War Veterans, not the American Legion.” Resound- ing cheers followed. J. I. Cahill, who has been quoted as saying in a public meeting that a man could be as good a citizen under the red flag as any other (pointing to the Stars and Stripes) was absent, but was de- scribed as “one of God’s own children” and his name cheered. i . What is there in a “cause” that makes its fol- lowers cheer a woman accused of insulting the best American motherhood, that cheers a slur at the great organization of ex-service men? To what depths have political demagogues fall- en who wrap the American flag over their should- ers and then seditiously lead a demonstration against the best ideals that that flag represents! Those who have heard the rank socialists of the Townley clan speak have no doubt in which direction they are bending their energies. Those who heard the leaders yesterday afternoon who profess to abhor socialism speak can have no doubt. i North Dakota must make her choice—the red flag or the red, white and blue. NIGHT BLINDNESS Some creatures are made to see by day, and some to see by night. The virtuous chickens, who go early, to roost, are probably as blind by night _ 88 are bats or owls by day. Psychologists trace the difference to two dif- ferent kinds of nerve endings in the retina of the eye, called rods and cones. Some birds and beasts have one, and some have the other. Man usually. has both. ; The rods are sensitive to faint light, but they cannot see colors. That is why all cats seem gray at night. And strong light puts them out of ac- tion. That is why it takes so long to “get used to” the dark when one first leaves a lighted house. The cones are sensitive to differences of color, but they act only when the light is fairly strong. Man sees with his cones by day (or in bright artificial light) and with his rods by night. Color blind people inherit a deficiency of cones, and thus tend to approach the bats and owls. And there are also night blind people who inherit a de- ficiency of rods. One family of such in France has been traced since 1637 through 10 genera- tions, and its history shows how impossible it is for this defect—it is a Mendelian dominant—to be either modfiied by training or weakened by freshgblood. The new blood will save some of the descendants from it altogether’ (according to a well established law of descent), but it will not were no better than brood sows. It was at a time when thousands of mothers were giving up their sons for war service, a time when the greatest encouragement was due to the mothers and friends of the boys and to the boys themselves, and this insult was not only to the mothers but to the nation that called them into service. If any further proof were needed of the unfit- ness of Wilson to longer remain as president of the United States, this indefensible act on his part in condoning the acts and utterances of this female furnishes such proof. Are we to gloss over every treasonable act, to let loose on the nation those traitors, radicals and disloyalists who were after even too fair a trial, sentenced to pay'a pen- alty for their treachery? Report has it that it is only a matter of a few days ere Wilson will turn loose Eugene V. Debs. Surely for less than this high officials have been impeached.—Mandan Pioneer. “DELAYING” THEIR WORK Bishop Lemke’s morning propagandist makes the charge that the 42 taxpayers’ suit delayed the progress of the home builders’ department. How? The home builders’ bonds were not mentioned in the suit. In fact no bonds were authorized for home building until after the suit was started. They were authorized at the special session. Our fellow townsman, Mr. Blakemore appears to think The Forum has been trying to block his work, or delay it. Bless his heart, we’ve been trying to prod him into doing something besides sitting around in an office for a year and a half, drawing his own sal- ary and writing checks for his assistants’ salaries. True we don’t like to see him buy $275 lots and pay $500 for them, and we don’t like to see him try to wiggle out of it by the statement that they were “50 foot lots.” We know they were 50 foot lots, Mr. Blakemore. So were the lots beside them that sold for $275. Also the pictures of six houses “the North Da- kota home building association has started work on in Fargo” constitute a contemptible little lie. Fargo people know these pictures were taken at random in Fargo of houses privately built, and which couldn’t be dpulicated within the $5,000 limit, but the pictures were intended to deceive, and it was expected that outsiders would jump to the conclusion that these houses have been built | by the association. Why not try to be honest about the home build- ers’ association and quit trying to cover sheer bone-headed bungling inefficiency with excuses and lying publicity ?—Fargo Forum.

WALLACE REID SAYS HE’S THE LUCKIEST STAR IN PICTURES Wallace Reid considers himself one of the luckiest film stars in the! business. ‘Not only is he happily married, the father of a budding youngster, and one of the most popu- lar and highest paid luminaries of the screen, but he has packed sev- eral times as many accidents into his youthful career as the ordinary mortal hopes to encounter. Twice within the past year Wallic has escaped without a scratch from bad railroad wrecks. He was in a caboose that fell over a fifteen-foot trestle and a thirty pound chunk 0! iron “kissed him to sleep.” weeks ago a train on wh riding to Chicago for a brief vacation took a sharp curve at a fifty mile gait, overturned, and Wallie came up smiling without even a ruffle in his hair. He explained this latter by say- ing that the first wreck had taught him how to act so he “jumped into the aisle and hung on to everything in sight so that it would have taken an act of congress to pry me loose.” ‘He has lost wheels off his auto- HIT OFF CORNS!
