THE STATE’S OLDEST’ NEWSPAPER (Established 1878), <BR> ee ee THE BABY SHOW This is the open season for baby show contests at county fairs and picnics. And may the Lord have mercy on the judges! How many ‘proud mothers’ hearts they have to break, as they bend to their unwelcome task of picking the winner from the many candidates! They are brave men whose glory never has been celebrated. In fearlessness they must excel: base- ball umpires. Mother brings the best baby in the world to the county fair or picnic and enters him in the contest. She seats him in the long row of chairs reserved for the candidates, and, as she surveys the line of aspirants, she wonders how in the world their mothers ever got the notion that their babies had any show at all in a contest calling for beauty of face and form. “The very nerve!” she muses, as she casts cold glances at the mothers of the opposing candi- dates. She observes these other mothers casting no less hostile glances toward her, but she as- cribes their attitude to plain jealousy. She is not nervous at all when the judges com- mence their work. Why should she be? Is not her baby the best in the lot? The judges really are wasting their time. Now what do you know about that? |‘ The judges have announced the winner, and they have picked the dark-haired one at the end of the row. Who'd ever have thought it. Mother is on the verge of tears. And-with 48 others, with whom she has been exchanging scornful glances, she joins in whispered condemnation of the judges. “Think: of it! That baby above all others to win the prize! ‘It’s an outrage; that’s: what ‘it is!” Such is the tragedy of the baby, show. What fearless fellows ‘are the judges! And, by the way, has anybody ever tried to find out'what be- comes of the prize babies? Do they win the blue ribbons in the daily contests of iter life? BURNS AND SMIT! UNCLE SAM IN ASIA ( America must be adequately represented at the new birth of freedem in China and Japan. How democracy will develop in the Orient dur- ing the present momentous decade will largely de- pend on the kind of ambassador the United States sends to Pekin and Tokio. If they are selected because they have made their mark as campaign fund collectors, or for‘any similar political reason, the reaction in the Far East will be deplorable. The British government, shrewd in diplomacy, has been specially on the alert to have sympa- thetic ambassadors at Pekin and Tokio. Sir John Jordan, ambassador to China, has spent 45 years in the diplomatic service, entirely at Far Eastern posts. He speaks Chinese fluently. He is proba- bly the greatest living diplomatic authority on Oriental affairs. But British farsightedness is better demon- strated by the recent selection of Sir Charles . Eliot to become ambassador to Tokio. Sir Charles retired from the diplomatic service in 1904.. He traveled in the Orient and wrote “Letters From the Far East” for a London newspaper. These letters, which were later published, and became famous, showed a sympathetic insight into the Japanese character. When the rumblings of the new democracy be- gan to be heard in Japan, Great Britdin recalled Sir Charles to his country’s service. Naturally, as a diplomatist and teacher and a sympathetic friend of Japan, Sir Charles Eliot is destined to have enormous influence at Tokio during the mo- mentous years now beginning. The American government can well afford to study British methods in this matter. There are: men in America who can rank with Eliot, in his essential characteristic as énlightened and help- ful | friend of the Orientals. If the wretched sys- tem of using ambassadorships to pay: political debts continues in the United States, what Amer- ican ideals can be made manifest at the Tokio and Peking embassies? Statesmen, not politicians, must help the Far Kast to its freedom. THE LIPSTICK WAR Are men responsible for the use of paint, pow- der, lipsticks and cosmetics by women? The state superintendent of the Women’s Chris- tion Temperance Union of New York, Mrs. George F. Pashley, says girls use the lipstick and other facial adorriments because they think men admire that type of girl’ She adds that the girls are wrong in this belief. She wants to enlist men in a campaign against the practice. It is to be feared that she will not get the sup- port that she expects. If the use of cosmetics is growing, as Mrs. Pashley saysit is, there is .a reason. The use of the lipstick and-its accessories BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE traction of the opposite sex. Rouge and powder are feminine bait for male eyes. It is because men have given women reason to think, at least, that they like the girl'who usés artificial beautifiers, that women. do use them. For thousands of generations man has indi- cated to woman that her role in life is to be “at- tractive.” She has been denied any place in life except that of a parasite—married or unmarried —except when, by her own efforts, she broke a hole in the wall of convention and made a way for herself first into one field of human endeavor and then into another. Man was horrified when woman first demanded the right to be educated. '20| He has continued to be horrified right up to the present moment, when there are still governors of states so obstinate that they think they can prevent the enactment of woman suffrage. What- ever has been done to lift womanhood from the plane of a parasitic creature has been largely done by woman herself. She will get no encouragement from mankind in general in a war on the lipstick. If it is to be abolished, woman will do it herself. IS THERE ANOTHER WAY? There is a school of historians who explain nearly everything in history from the standpoint of man’s need for food and shelter. A vigorous race multiplies too fast for its food supply, and so some of it is driven to new lands, where it kills or subdues the inhabitants and spreads itself out in hardy comfort, like the Eng- lish, French and Spanish in America or the Dutch in South Africa. Or if it stays at home it levies. tribute of food from more sparcely settled lands through force of arms, like ancient Rome, or like Great Britain and Germany today it gets it in return for man- ufactured goods which it must sell on peril of its life; and in this case it fights for markets as fero- ciously as wandering barbarians fight for the land itself. For defeat means misery and death, such as one sees in Central Europe now. Thus war is regarded as an incident in the uni- versal struggle for existence and self-perpetua- tion in a new generation—a struggle of individual against individual and group against group— fierce enough to make one think that “all is fair in love and war.” . But must rational beings always settle the problem of existence in this way? “Thou shalt love thy neighbor and hate thine enemy” is the precept of a race struggling to exterminate the inhabitants of a land that it wants to possess. But later on the question comes, “Who is my, neighbor?” ; Granting that the world cannot feed unlimited hordes, is there ‘any special reason why alf'the people—good, bad and indifferent—who happen to live in one country should pit them- selves against all of those who live in another? Those! who grow. hair in Gotham are justified in making cutting remarks about the striking bar- bers. ° As long as the Bolshevists raise nothing but whiskers, they shouldn’t be taken seriously.

The Marquis Rene de Girardin offered him a place of refuge at Ermenonville, where he ar- rived on May 20. . But on July 2 he suffered a stroke of apoplexy and died two days later. M. de Girardin arranged his burial and his tomb, on which are inscribed the words: “Here lies Jean Jacques Rousseau, the man of nature and of truth.” He has gone down in history as “the last friend of Rousseau.” ‘But De Girardin did. not stop with Rousseau’s funeral. He began at once to make a collection of Rousseauana. He regarded nothing as unimport- ant. A mere bibelot was given a place of honor alongside of an unpublished manuscript. The collection has passed from generation to gener- ation of De Girardins and is now in the possession of Fernand de Girardin, the great guardian of the original friend of Rousseau, whose secretive reverance for the philosopher of nature is as great as was that of the marquis of a-hundred and 42 years ago. And since the De Girardin family becomes extinct with his death, he may really be called “the last friend of Rousseau.” A representative of Le Temps was recently privileged to examine the collection of Ermenon- ville, considered “probably the most important. that can be found today of any individual.” It contains the alrgest number of Rousseau’s musi- cal compositions, some of which had-long been thought to have been lost; the voluminous corre- spondence that Rene de Girardin carried on with Rousseau’s loyal friends and “enormous bundles” (enormes liasses) of hitherto unpublished ma- terial that throws light on the last years of Rous- seau’s-life. The present Fernand de Girardin has can have only one reason. That reason is the at-| QHIO pviN 8, WHOEVER WINS, IN WARREN G. HARDING ) \ PRES. HAYES nee ae “o@COLUMBUS "RACE FOR PRESIDENCY FRES.

VETERAN, IN STRANGE STUPOR FOR TWO Cause of Strange Ailment Baf- fles Medical World—Every- thing Possible Done for Him, Says Eminent Physician Who Watches‘ Over Man Who Was Topped Over in the Argonne BY EDWIN D.

At first it was thought his case was a case of “sleeping sicknuess,” but all, physicians who have studied "Wright's case closely, now say it is a cataleptic stupor. The cause and the cure of this strange ailment baffle the medt- cal world. Dr. W. G. Eberle, formerly of the U. 8. Marine Hospital in France, has made an exhaustive study of Wright's case for six.weeks. He has placed all the facts before the country’s most famous experts. “We have done everything known | to medical science to arouse him,” Dr. Eberle. “Twice in six weeks ‘we were successful—by the use of elec- tricity—but after 15 minutes each time gays | MONTHS, IS STILL GAINING HIS STRENGTH accumulate around the heart and weaken that organ, causing palpita- tion and shortness of breath after ex- ercise as well as interference with the functions of the body generally.

Recently Dr. Eberle had the local medical society visit Wright. After the conference .Dr. Eberle asked the physicians what they would do to arouse him. One replied: “Find the man who hypnotized him!” Wright's home is near Cartersville, Okla. He is a farmor.

The; NEW FRENCH BOOKS TO BE CIRCULATED AMONG AMERICANS Paris, July 10.—Ten newly published Wrench books are to be brought to the attention of Americans each month by the “Comite France-Amerique”, an organization that concerns itself with bettering Felations of (france and the United States. A commission of ten prominent men ;has been named to. make up the monthly list and these will be print- ed in French and English and be sent to prominent persons, libraries. and other institutions, in the United States in an effort to interest the public. On the selection commission are four members of tlie Academie Fran- caise. Gabriel Hanotaux, Maurice Bat- res, Emile Boutroux and Henry Bor- deaux. ‘The commission will each month select one recent ‘book on each of ten departments of literature such as poetry, history, economics and. criticism.

SWEDISH BREAK WITH FINLAND IS IN PROSPECT Sharp Exchange anee tbe Notes’ Re- sults from Desire that: People Determine Own Allegiance Stockholm, July 10—A critical situ- ation has.arisen between Sweden. and Finland over Sweden's attitude toward ‘a delegation from the Aland Islands which represented to the Swedish gov- ernment that the population of the islands desired self-determination on the basis of a referendum. ‘After a sharp exchange of notes between the two governments a battalion of Fin- nish troops has been landed on Aland and encamped near Mariehamn. The Finnish government has arrest- ed two leaders-of the Aland depute- tion on a charge of high treason. Sweden has despatched a note to Finland urging the Finnish government to consent to a plebiscite by which the population ,of the islands would de- cide whether they shall belong to Swe- den or Finland but is is understood the Finnish government is unshaken in its determination to oppose any such measure. Official opinion here is that Fin- land’s attitude is based upon the as- sumption that the initiative for separa- tion of the Alands from Finland was taken in Sweden, whereas, it is declar- ed, the agitation began with Alanders who based their right of self-determ- ination on historical grounds and upon principles recognized by the league of nations. The Finnish government has an- nounced that it “absolutely rejects all such claims are irreconcilable with her sovereignty over the Alands, which Sweden recognized without reserva- tion.” The Aland archipelago, in the Gulf of Bothnia, consists of 80 inhabit- ed islands, with a population of 24,000 of whom 12,000 reside on Aland island, the principal town of which is Marie- hamn. The islands formerly belonged to Sweden ‘but were taken by Russia in 1809. The Finnish government holds that the political importance of the is- lands is so great that no Finnish gov- ernment could cede them to a foreign power and that united with Sweden they’ would constitute a constant source of danger to Finland. * =) SALVATION ARMY _ . EXTENDS. WELFARE WORK IN STATE Plans to Broaden Scope of Work in Ten Counties; Advisory Boards Are Appointed ‘No content. witha record of 49 years of continuous servicé in social welfare and relief work in North Da- kota, The’ Salvation Army has an- nounced that its scope of activities will be: greatly enlarged through the application of its Home Service Pro- gram for 1920. ‘Colonel ‘Stephen Marshall, com- manding the''Northern Province of the ‘Salvation Army declared today that the 1920 program calls for the establishment: of Advisory boards in ‘every county in [North Dakota. In- cluded: onthe membership of these boards will. be the most prominent and influential citizens in the rc- spective communities. Through the Advisory boards the Salvation Army plans to place at the command of the rural communities, as !well as the populous centers, its numerous departments for the relief of human suffering and correction of society's ills. The program has been launched in North Dakota. Advisory boards have already been formed in ten ‘North Da- kgta counties. They are Nelson, Ran- som, LaMoure, Dickey, Griggs, Fos- ter, Eddy, Cavalier, Pembina and Walsh. Concurrent -with the work in this state, the new program is be- ing extended to ‘Wisconsin, Minne- sota, South Dakota and a number of middle western states. Judging from the reports received at the North Dakota Salvation Army Home Service Program Headquarters 212 Equity Building, Fargo, there is reason to believe that all North Da- kota counties will accept the social service and relief machinery offered them, it is said. GERMAN FARMERS HOLDING ARMS Berlin, July 10.—There is a reluc- tance on the part of some German farmers to surrender their firearms, due to “the legitimate desire to pro- tect. their homes against marauders,” Minister of Agriculture Brayn said to a Tageblatt representative. He added, however, that a number have been “storing arms deliberately for sub- versive purposes,” but he said these were not as numerous as generally believed. “If the people only will keep their heads,” Herr Braun said, “I do not believe there will be any, organized outbreak in the near future.
