Other reporters were not barred. The mayor sought thus to intimidate the press; to compel it to forego criticism of him- self. ‘Justice Fawcett of the supreme court over- ruled the mayor. While doing so he delivered this opinion: “The press is the lever that moves the world as no other earthly power could move it. It should not be hampered while in the lawful pur- suit of gathering news, or interfered with while honestly disseminating really important informa- tion for its readers.” Those judges who vainly try to bind and gag the American press might do well to read and remember Justice Fawcett’s opinion. lief in a panacea for all human ills.

PRESIDENT DESCHANEL’S HEALTH Although it was announced immediately af- ter the train accident of the French! president that he had suffered no serious consequences and would be quite himself’ after a few days, the weeks have' gone by without: any} definite word as to when he can resume his full functions. Poli- ticians and newspapers are. gossiping about the possibility of his' resignation. And while all are careful, at least in public, to express the wish that this step-will not'be necessary, it sometimes appears that they “protest too. much” on this score. The Journal Des| Debats, though “earnestly hoping” for M. Deschanel’s recovery, declares that the very. nature of the. presideney “admits no interim,” and suggests that unless M. Descha- nel is‘ quickly; restored to health he must! be superseded. fva The Intransigeant, however, declares that gossip about the president’s condition is promot- ed by “certétlix intriguers—always the same ones,” and that a few weeks’ will suffice to re- BISMARCK DAILY TRIBU: DB al ) ——— aa ‘ THURSDAY, AUG. 12, 1920 ANGLIN’?

As it is, how store the chief of state to full vigor. While there are striking similarities between the situation of M. Deschanel and: that of Presi- dent Wilson, it must not be overlooked that, whereas Mr. Wilson was elected by popular vote, the French president is chosen by the two houses of parliament sitting together. Necessarily, therefore, the president in France must feel con- trolled to a certain degree by parliamentary opin- ion, and if it appeared that a majority of the]. legislators were opposed to his continuing in of- fice he would be practically compelled to resign. If in no other way, his resignation could be forced by a refusal of the chamber to vote confidence to any ministry constituted by him—Havas News Bureau. MR.

So,'too, is the refusal of HOPE Hope is the strongest force in the world today. Probably it always was so. It is not love. It is not. ambition. It is not pride. It is just plain, downright hope, and nothing more. The rich man hopes for health, happiness and fame. The poor one for wealth, health, happi- ness and fame. They all hope for love to com- plete their happiness. But they only hope for all this and; as long as this hope is alive, they stand a chance of gaining what they want. When hope leaves them, they are lost, impos- sibly lost: } Ever see these hope-less men and women? Not hopeless, but hope-less ; those whose hope for bet- ter things has fled and left them dull and slug- gish and cowardly. The world, too, hopes for better things. That is why people ard willing to sacrifice their lives —on the hope that by so doing they are saving their country from ruin. If they had no, hope whatsoever that their sacrifice would mean any- thing, how long do you think men would go to war? It all revolves around hope.

Preventing Arterio-Sclerosis Here are some of the things that are easily avoidable if you want to take care of your arteries: Lead poisoning is one of the com- mon causes of arterio-sclerosis. Per- soys handling lead (painters are fi quent victims) should be very careful ‘to have clean hands when they e: and they should avoid all possi ways of getting any of the lead or paint in their food and drink. They skould brush their teeth after each meal. ¥ ‘Syphilis is the worst and most cer- tain cause of arterio-sclerosis, This can only be surely avoided lead- ing a clean, chaste moral life. If 2 rerson is so, unfortunate as to have acanired syphilis, he must at once apply for tréatment and be sure to Suicx to the treatment as long as his doctor wants him to. It is a disease that generally requires’ active treat- ment for several years, and that re- ques watching for the remainder of e. Alcohol may not be a direct cause of arterio-sclerosis, but is surely very often an indirect cause. Thus the person who drinks liquor is more e@ ily poisoned by lead than the who never touches it. The person who drinks is also more likely to get syphilis, for various reasons. Then, too, it must be borne in mind that alcool has a damaging ‘effect on the stomach and liv producing gas- tritis and cirrhosis. In this way the food is not properly digested. Part of it is, turned into poison when it gets into the intestine, and this poi- son enters the blood and causes dam- age to the arteries.

( DROPS “SOVIET RUSSIA” Bertrand Russell, an Englishman who, be- cause of his conscientious objections to killing and to a war, was sent to jail. He was, as social- ists would say, “The Debs of England.” Then he became a communist and, like many in America, made a fad of “Soviet Russia” and refused to believe anything against it. Russell finally went to Russia to revel in bolshevism and commune with Lenin. He is back from his trip and in an article in the radical Nation he says: “I think if I had met Lenin without knowing who he was I should not have guessed that he was a great man; he struck me as too opinion- ated and narrowly unorthodox. His strength comes, I imagine, from his honest courage and unwavering faith—religious faith in the Marxian gospel. He has as little love of liberty as the Christians who suffered under Diocletian and re- taliated when they acquired power. Perhaps love of liberty is incompatible with whole-hearted be- the people to give him that mandate for the mak- ing of peace according to his own ideas, Yet Mr. Wilson, with that refusal ringing in], his ears, sailed away to Europe without a single republican statesman among his advisers, with-. out making a single advance toward consultation with his constitutional partner in treaty-making, the United States senate. He gave heed to no protests against the sort of a peace he was making, conferred with no leaders of the opposing party, though he sat at the conference table with prime ministers who stood at the head of coalition governments at home. ‘ Despite his own demand for “open covenants openly arrived at,” he strove to keep utterly secret the covenant he was making for his own country, which had just declared by popular vote its lack of confidence in him. And when he came back with the covenant he had made, he demanded and to this day con- tinyes to demand that it be ratified without one single reservation that shall alter its essential meaning. Governor Cox, nominated by his party to suc- ceed him, promises to carry out all the promises Mr. Wilson has made and to bring about the sac- rifice of American nationality on the altar of in- ternationalism. 6 And faithful Mr. Roosevelt, praising his tick- et-mate as a statesman and stigmatizing his op- ponent as “the errand boy of politicians,” talks airily of continuing the era of bipartisan, good feeling which enabled us to win the war! He wants that era to continue—if only it can be arranged to perpetuate the Wilson autocracy by the election of a man pledged to all its policies and promises !—Minneapolis Tribune. others were elecrocuted and burned to a-crisp. * Everybody has heard what won- derful cinches the government clerks have, but there is a reverse, side to the. shield. “Where are you going for your va- cation?” I asked a little lady. who works in the War Department’s Sur- pius Property Division. “I get no leave,” she replied. “But, everybody does,” I insisted. “Guess again,” she said. “If you will read the law you will find that the leave provision is optional with the chief clerk of every division, He can grant it or not as he likes. As it happens I am loaned at present to a major who had 800 clerks in his office and was cut down by the re- cent act of Congress to 13. It may te he did not need 300, but he has to have more than 13. The clerks he now has have to work all the time, not a single one has had a single day off and not a single one will get any vacation. It just isn’t possible. Se” | JUST JOKING ] Ls —¢ A Protest. N For the second time and without apology the man hanging to the strap trod on the toes of ‘the sitting pas- senger.

Recent Discoveries Have Greatly Ex-| panded Mankind’s Knowledge of Astronomy—Now We Know the “Sun Do Move.” The high priests of Babylonia and Egypt, 8000 years and more ago, had a considerable knowledge of astron- omy; but, leaving out of question the few thus learned in science, creation to the ancients was a three-story sf- fair, or rather two stories and a cel- lar, the latter being the abode of the| dead, while on the second floor, orna- mentally bespangled with stars, dwelt the gods. Earth, of course, was flat. The sun ed across the heavens once in ev- ery 24 hours, and, going under, ap- peared again in the east next morn- ing. There was also the moon, which had a similar habit; and that was about all there was of the cosmos. Since then our ideas on the subject nave vastly expanded, and now, in ,; View of recent discoveries, they seem destined to expand eaormously beyond anything hitherto imagined. ,.We are beginning to grasp the notion of oth- er universes outside of our own—at distances from our own universe well- nigh inconcelvable. Rev. Jasper declared: that “the sun do move.” He was right. Not only does it revolve on its own axis (as may be plainly seen by the “spots” which travel across its disc), but it is moving in a straight line through space, like.a gigantic projectile, at a speed of at least ten miles a second. As it thus moves, the earth and its sister planets, of course, go with it. Astronomers, in the course of cen- turies, have actually been able to ob- serve this movement, by the closer gathering of stars in the sun's wake and the widening out of constellations ahead of us—Jjust as might be noticed of trees and houses passed or ap- proached in a railroad train. * All the stars are suns, most of them much bigger than our own solar lumi- nary, and every one of them is trav- eling at a terrific speed. The so-called Runaway Star (known to astronomers as 1830 Groombridge) is going at a rate of 200 miles a second. What imaginable power, could have set all these suns in motion? And why are they all traveling in different direc- tions, apparently? Our own seeming destination is the constellation Lyra. It is now thought probable that our universe,’ which’ we call) the Milky Way (we seem to be not far from the center of it) is in reality a vast spiral in form, and that this spiral is re- yolving, so to speak, in its own plane. Assuming this to be true, the straight line in which ‘our sun appears to trav- el is actually a curve. What has led to this belief Is ob- servation of other spirals which are now thought to be distant universes, many of them so far away-that. light from them, traveling 186,000 miles a second, takes something like 10,000,- 000 years to reach us? Their form plainly shows that they are revolving. Everything in the cosmos seems to go round and round. The moon trav- els around the earth, the earth around the sun; and presumably the sun is following an orbit about some center, whether a giant sun or merely a point in space. Our universe (ifthe theory above outlined be accepted) is whirl- ing. Probably, as it whirls, it Is mak- ing a journey of its own about some center, perhaps in concert with other universes. Space being infinite in extent, It Is, when one comes to think of it, absurd for us to imagine that ours Is the only universe. i We shall never know. But at least we may claim that our Ideas on the subject. of creation are expanding.— Kansas City Star. Women -War: Workers in Waxworks.
