A few days ago dispatches announced the ship- ment of a large number of slaughtered reindeer from Alaska. Some time ago announcement was made of an enterprise to can whale meat and market it. Tuna fish was a rarity a few years ago. Now it is a common article of diet, and is to be had in groceries throughout the United States, Perhaps whale meat, reindeer steaks, musk-ox and other game will become common eventually, and obtainable in any market. When this country was younger, game formed an important article of diet. But if all the wild game left in the country were killed and marketed in a single season, there wouldn’t be enough to go around. This indicated the tremendous amount of food it takes to feed the present popu- lation of the United States. : Crops are short this season, and promises of supplies of meat from new sources take on a new interest. Musk-ox meat might be welcomed. Also rein- deer venison and whale meat. If it didn’t seem so good as beef, one might yet cultivate a taste for it. All that most of us can say now to the question, “Do you like it?” is “I don’t know. I ain’t had any yet!” The significant thing is that the French occu- pation is keeping many Frenchmen from their regular occupations. HUMAN SKYSCRAPERS John Van Albert, who is eight feet, five inches tall, arrived in this country recently from Hol- land. His height is one inch less than the recorded height of Maximinus, a Roman emperor from 235 to 238. History records a long list of giants, some of them shorter than the one who now claims notice. Eight feet, two inches, was the height of the fa- mous Chinese giant, Chang, who was exhibited in London in 1865. Giants don’t appeal to popular imagination as once they did. But height in men is admired. Curiosity, it is not inherited. The quality which is inherited is shortness. Those who fail to in- herit it grow tall. ‘ Similarly, blue eyes is the negative quantity of those who.do not inherit the positive trait of dark eyes. Those who do not inherit curly hair have hair which is straight. Slender persons are those who fail to inherit the positive quality which makes others stout. Tall parents have only tall children. But short parents do not always transmit the quality of shortness to all their children, if some of the grandparents were tall. At least this is the con- clusion of the famous American biologist, Charles Benedict Davenport. Lumber is going higher and money getting cheaper. No matter. Silver dollars will make fine building material. NO MORE WOMEN Science is on the track of lengthening human life, reports Dr. Eugene Lyman Fisk, in the July issue of the Yale Review. When human beings are able to live two thousand years, he asks, will women still be an enigma? His answer is that nature might then have no further biological use for woman. ; This means, according to Dr. Fisk, womar would be selected for a painless death, or would be deported to some other part of the universe “to bewilder and charm,” or possibly science would discover how to obliterate sex differentia- tion outright. Dr. Fisk allows no expectation that the age of longevity might produce a man- less world instead of a womanless. There is no cumulative evidence tending to establish this probability, he says. Dr. Fisk is too logical. Logis has never abol- ished the illogical when the illogical is feminine. As for discovering perpetual youth and then abol- ishing woman! Ladies, be calm. It couldn’t be done. - Man wouldn’t remain civilized without woman. Man‘s use for woman is not biological. Nature’s May be; but man has improved on nature. - Woman is a necessity to man because of her gentility, her instinctive culture, her companion- ship;her charm, her intuitive guidance, her. so- lace in trouble, her loyalty, her inspiration, her affection, her ability to pierce the outer veil and see into the souls of those she loves. Finally, man demands woman just because she is woman. If nature tries to obliterate woman, nature will have an awful fight on her hands! PARTNERS The slacker of war times was. despised. Is he any more praiseworthy in time of peace? Suppose the garment-maker says “Clothes are dear and scarce. Good thing. Makes my job safe, why work hard?” And the food man says, “why grow two fields of potatoes instead of one? Why lower my own price? Take it easy. Play safe.” And the housing man says, “The boss is mak- ing plenty. He doesn’t pay for my loafing any- how. And I’m keeping my brother worker on the job. So I go slow.” Sounds not so bad, eh? Even a sort of altruism about it. But wait. If everybody slacks fifty per cent, doesn’t that make everything twice as scarce, other things being equal? And twice as dear? ; Does it even stop at being twice or thrice as dear, when the world bids against itself, in a time of restricted supply? Then comes the chance of the profiteer. There’s just one way to beat the profiteer. In Russia they tried to limit the profiteer by law. : Letter-made law. Law which aimed to deny private ownership. Result? Potatoes sell in the Moscow market at 300 roubles the pound, eggs at 120 roubles each. So says Duckworth, who has just been there. Letter-made law won’t work. Not against the law of supply and demand. Unless you help to increase the supply, you are partner of the profiteer. It isn’t modesty that keeps a man from men- tioning a woman’s undergarments. He can’t pro- nounce the French words. , EDITORIAL REVIEW Comments reproduced in this column may or may not express’ the opinions of The Tribune. obey. are re sented here in order vhat our readers may sides of important issues which are being ave te the press of the day. THE STATE OF MIND OVER HARDING Democratic opponents of Warren G. Harding, republican nominee for president, pretend that they fear he will no# take a clean cut, unmistaka- ble stand on national questions. But that isn’t what they are afraid of. ‘They pretend to be con- cerned lest he might avoid the League of Na- tions issue. But they know better. They pre- tend to be disturbed over the possibility that he might not conduct the affairs of the government in the best interests of the public. But there isn’t a glimmer of any such thought in their heads. All the democratic critics from managers, or- gans and messengers to the sublime party mas- ter secluded and solitary in his isolated grandeur realize only too well for their political peace of mind that Warren G. Harding knows exactly what he thinks and where he stands on the League of Nations and that if any American voter is left in doubt as to exactly what he thinks and where he stands it will be because he is a voter that can’t read, can’t hear and can’t think. They realize only too well to suit their ragged political nerves that Warren G. Harding knows the way to get this government out of its finan- cial stress is to stop administrative squander, and he is going to show the American people how to stop it. They realize only too well to give them any comfort about their political jobs that Warren G. Harding knows it is our heritage of unscientific, unsound and vicious democratic taxes which are making the public’s post-war burdens heavier than there is any need of, and he is going to tell the American people: the truth about them. They realize only too well to let them entertain a ray of political. hope that Warren G. Harding, by years of experience, achievement and success, has proved the value of sound, straight, horse sense business management in the private affairs of himself and of those associated with him in business, and he is going to prove to the American people that he can put the same brand of busi- ness ‘management into their national affairs. The democratic chorus is not shouting about the things they fear Warren G. Harding might or might not do as president because they think anything of the kind. They don’t think so. They don’t think a bit of it is true. They know it isn’t. They are trying to read something into the yet unwritten book of the future because on the splendid pages of his past they cannot find a sin- gle word that is not a8 open as the day. They cannot find a single act that is not clean and shining. They cannot find a single promise that is not sound and true and practical. The democratic clamor which is trying to tell others how disappointed they might be with War- ren G. Harding in the years to. come despite his solid record of the years that are past is a babble of nonsense, insincerity and hypocrisy because as a private individual, as a business man, as an of- ficer of the state of Ohio and as a member of the United States senate—in all his life, public and private, from the beginning up to right now, they cannot find a flaw.—New York Sun and Herald. BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE JULY 2, 1920 + > | | | DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM DRAFT GOES INTO MANY QUESTIONS San Francisco, July 2—The Demo-, cratic platform drafted by the sub- committee of nine and submitted to the full committtee declared for rati- fication of the peace treaty as a re- quisite’to preserve the honor and in- tegrity, of the nation; suggests that the Irish question can be brought immediately before the League of Na- tions, for settlement, and is silent on the subject of prohibition. for farmers; opposes compulsory ar- bitration of labor disputes; declares for recognition of the New Mexican government when it has established order, and calls on the legislatures of Tennessee, Florida and North, Caro- lina to ratify the suffrage amendment.

During the war many young. women felt it their ‘patriotic duty to enter schools for nurses, but many with- drew their application when the ar: ‘ mistice w: gned, seemingly think- ing their es were no Jonger needed. It is true, the war is over, but its wounds are not all healed, and our wounded soldiers, are fount in many hospitals throughout the id. bd country, who: will need nursing care ; for some time to come. Our government is still calling for thousands of nurses to help carry out its public health program, and, there- fore, more young women are needed to enter the schools for nurses, The United States public health program, is in my estimation, not only the grandest, but also, of the greatest importance to our nation, and, it seems to me, outside of teaching school, young women should feel it & ‘ their patriotic duty -and privilege to enter the field of nursing and help carry out this great public health program. Our Hospitals and Training Schools for Nurses in North Dakota Our training schools for nurses in our own state are all preparing for large classes of probationers, be- ginning September 1. Our registered schools are prepared to giye young women a good training, And our wa y™ ‘North Dakota nurses have proven during the war that they are equal to any task: It is, therefore, not ( necessary for young women to go e outside of the state to get their train- ing. We feel, in fact, they should el it their duty to stay in their home state and help build up the hos- pitals and public health, where their parents, grand-parents, their broth- the a“ ers and sisters have suffered and died for lack of proper nursing care. We do not agree with Mrs. Hanson, of Buffalo, that “The Country needs another Florence Nightingale” for we know that the nursing profession has many members with lamps “trimmed and burning.” But what the world needs is thousands of young women like Florence Nightingale to bring hope and comfort to suffering humanity. The young women and their parents t 4 of our country need to wake up to f f the fact, that nursing in our day and age is no harder than other work, for their is no greater satisfaction in life than to be trained for a ser- vice which is able-to relieve suffer- ing. # Ae. 3 It gives me much pleasure to pre- sent to the readers, “Why Nurs! re Happy,” by Miss Ora Martin, R. N. Morey could not buy the tender thoughts, the touch and consider- ation, which the real nurse gives to. the suffering patient. ‘ 4 During the many weary hours she may have worked, her sense of duty to the k and suffer- ing comes ahead of all else, and her compensation is a wonderful e feeling of satisfaction, and con- solation, which, I think is foreign to any save the nurse or doctor, The nurse is happy in her work, strange as it may seem to many, because she is doing some- thing for humanity; she is doing something which the great many idle, women are not doing; she is making the world better for hav- ing lived in it; she is doing some- thing really worth while..So come along, sister, join with us in the good work. You will never re- gret preparing yourself to be one of the most useful women in the world. i In these few words we find what r fe pane 4, be ” of the St. the im- or- its ‘be- of the the de- act PI i el A hy NE RN PS EA a A SE a eC de- pments of the rights and privil-| every true nurse experiences, while ministering to those who need her skillful care. ‘ LOUISE HOERMAN, R.
