Vices are often the result of useful tendencies overdone or ill-directed, and some things that peo- ple condemn may not be vices at all. In either case it is better to understand than blindly to condemn. Take for example the “cattiness” of which women frequently accuse each other, and assume for the moment that women really do have more of it‘than men. To a psychologist this does not mean that there is something wrong with women. It means that they are different and that at some time in the history of the race the difference has been useful. "To be a woman is to be capable of being a mother, and a mother shuts one out from many things, like hunting or fishing, that men are often called upon to do in co-operation with each other. If women are “catty,” may not this mean that they are moulded more to fight alone for their children than to fight beside comrades for’ the good of the tribe as a whole? Picture a rough past in which men fought, perhaps, for wives, but were not especially scrup- ulous or constant in their love, though wives and children were dependent on them for protection and support. In such a past it was a lucky child whose father was strong and brave and whose mother had the skill and the will to “kill” a rival with a sneer and hold the man’s devotion for her- self and her brood. And where mothers had this gift the children were likely to inherit it. The more catty women there are today, the more certain it is that catty women in the past brought up more children than the other kind. “God made the women to match the men”; and before any man condemns his wife for a strong defensive attitude towards other women, let him be ‘thankful-that his own grandmothers had enough of it to get him into the world at all and give him a fair start in life. — ’ A PLACE TO LIVE What can be done about a place to live? Five million is the figure placed by experts as the ta ber of houses America is short of enough to house its population efficiently. Because it’ is thus! short, rents rise and rise, families crowd into smaller quarters, roomers and boaders become}. more numerous, the young couple must live with Pa and Ma instead of building their own’ nest, there is no room for babies—the whole social life of the péople is dangerously affected. - The New York State Legislature has been called in special session to try to enact additional laws to solve the problem. It passed a whole raft of special laws last year, which did not solve it. A half dozen states have played around the edges of the problem. City rent commissions, city housing associations, city welfare leagues and other organizations too numerous to men- tion have debated, resoluted, talked, held meet- ings, agitated, conference and cooperated—but the shortage of houses is more acute than ever. And the further fact is patent that private capi- tal will no longer engage on a large scale in pro- viding housing. Any number of good reasons exist for this attitude. The prices of building ma- terials are sky high. The cost of labor, so it is said, is prohibitive. Land values have risen enor- mously. LESE MAJESTE Professor Unamuna, Valencia, Spain, has been sentenced to ‘serve 16 years in prison for criticiz- ing the monarchy. Very good evidence that Spain’ hasn’t changed much from the Spain of Cortez and Pizarro. It makes it easy even for the school-boy to under- stand why the Spanish flag that once floated over so much of the earth’s surface now flutters only over such a little bit of it. The last of the discredited Hapsburg family is making a feeble stand in Spain. He can insure his extinction by continuing to impress critics, ‘ COMMON SENSE When psychologists test intelligence it is cus- tomary to express the results in terms of “mental age.” * If John, who is 12, can do as well in the tests as an average boy of 15, it is customary to say that he has a mental age of 15. But after all he is only 12, and experience is making it clear that he cannot always be treated as though he were 15; for ordinary boys of the same “mental age” have had three more years of actual living in which to get control of their im- pulses and become settled and adapted to the ways of those about them, and in these boys of slower growth it is possible also that the impulses themselves may not be so: imperative. This may help to explain the difference between intelligence and common sense. A bright child can do well at this or that when he puts his mind upon it. He can learn his lessons and set the jokes and perhaps invent all kinds of mischief. He may have energy and initiative-and independence. But he has had fewer years than his elders in which to gte hard knocks and learn from personal ex- perience the more remote effects of what he does. Good taste, good manners and good sense in- volve much self-control, based on this larger prac- tical experience. They are not shown when every impulse is expressed the minute it arises. One cannot have sense without intelligence. But if intelligence means mere capacity to acquire information or see a point and work a problem, it might easily go along with an inconsiderate recklessness that leaves one wondering what crazy thing the person will do next. Sophomore means wise fool, and the ordinary college youth outgrows his folly. But there are other people of good intelligence who do not. PU-YI WANTS TO ‘COME The fofmer emperor of China, Pu-Yi, 14 years old and throneless, wants to visit the United States. This last “son of heaven,” who mounted the Chinese throne when but two years of age, has been a prisoner in Peking since the revolution of 1911. Pu-Yi can play baseball, and likes comic pic- tures. He has an English teacher, and would be a regular boy if they’d let him. But the president of China hasn’t as yet said Pu-Yi may visit. America, and according to latest dispaches from China, he isn’t likely to consent until after the little ex-emperor picks his bride. Hsu Shin-chang is for ‘taking no chances of Pu-Yi seeing grils of other lands before his be- trothal. President Hsu has a daughter. It is said in Peking that when Pu-Yi is betrothed to the president’s daughter he may be permitted to see America. 5 EDITORIAL REVIEW Comments reproduced in this column may or may not express the opinions of The Tribune. They are pre- sented here in order vhat our readers may have both sides of important issues which are ‘discussed im the press of the day. SPENDING THE PEOPLE’S MONEY While Brother Cox is trying to make an issue of his charge that Republicans are planning to buy the American people with tainted money, let us turn for a moment to an interesting govern- ment report. ;° / This report, discloses the fact that Mr. George Creel’s bureau of public information, maintained during the war, cost the tax payers, net, approxi- mately $5,000,000. The total spent by this agency at a time when every penny of available money was needed for fighting the war, was about eight and a quarter millions, but earnings from war movies and other sources brought the total down to a few thousands less than five millions. What the public might well remember at this time is that the Creel bureau was in fact a gigan- tic press agency for the advertisement of the al- leged merits and accomplishments of the admin- istration and its officials. Among its most con- spicuous acts was the defense of aircraft produc- tion, whose marvelous achievements it was telling us all about while a waste of millions was going on and results were nil. a Creel’s bureau was’ sending public money ‘to tout Baker et ab. and make’ the people think every criticism of government and war work was parti- san and unjustifiable. It was a partisan’ organ, maintained by public money, and its existence was one of the most flagrant abuses of public revenue, for party and personal purposes, if not the most flagrant, in our political history. Mr. Cox puts the alleged republican corrup- tion fund at fifteen millions. Creel spent eight millions singing the praises of the administra- tion, and Mr, Cox will benefit to some extent at least by his efforts. If Mr. Cox’s charge were true, it would mean thta the republicans were getting voluntary contributions from citizens to put themselves in power. But the so-called bureau of public information took eight millions of the people’s money, without their consent for the purpose of keeping Mr. Cox’s party in power. We do not agree with Mr. Cox. that enough American voters can be corrupted to carry a na- tional election. But if the people are corruptible, we think they would prefer being bought by other people’s money than their own.—Chicago Tribune. BEAUTY FROM UGLY GULLY Ornamental gardening, always interesting and worth while, is doubly so when it transforms an eyesore into a beauty spot. A certain residential district in the suburbs of an Ohio city was afflicted with an ugly clay gully, 335 ft. long and at one point 267 ft. wide, and disagreeable contrast to the sightly homes and lawns of the neighborhood. After a‘tentative planting of shrubbery had shown the way, the residents attacked the problem with vim. The work of a year has made the former disfigurement a veritable sunken garden, with formal flower beds and terraces, rough hickory pergolas loaded with blooming ramblers, and a rustic stone foundation where once was a muddy spring.—Pppular Mechanics.

L, Hubert, retired deputy sheriff, 122 First St., Bismarck, says: “I don't Know of any remedy I can recommend more highly than Doan’s Kidney Pills. { used them about five years ago.when suffering from an at- ‘tack of kidney complaint. Lumbago was the worst symptom of my com- plaint. There were times when I had to lay off from my ‘work for several days, my back was so painful. The kidney secretions contained sediment and burned in passage. I went to Lenhart’s Drug store and ‘got three boxes of Doan’s Kidney. Pills and they were not long in showing beneficial effects upon my system. The three boxes cured me.” Price 60c, at all dealers.

Jokes Which Two | Candidates | Enjoyed a Future of Germany |” Lies With Workmen ' Declares Hoffmann Berlin, Sept. 28—“I am General Hoffman, whom you probably remem-! ber from Brest-Litovsk,” said a tall man of military bearing as he intro- duced himself to a meeting of major- ity socialists called here to discuss eastern European problems. The socialists were in the midst of a discussion on soviet principles and the Russo-Polish situation, when gen- eral Ludendorff’s former aide-de-camp arose and without more ado took the. floor. He charged the Versailles peace with the responsibility for the present | state of Europe in that it failed t 1ake Russia ito account, and declared | that Russia must be reinstated into‘ her former position. Germany, he bil, ueeded i.ussia’s foodstutfs and | Russian ne@ded’ German industrial products. 7 General Hoffman went on declaring that German wWorking.men alone were able to rebuild the nation. “it is not true,” he said, ‘that we have already reached the bottom of the abyss. We are, however, standing on the brink and in danger of slipping down into it.” Despite his unexpected interruption, the meeting treated the general with courtesy alfhough gqme reproaches Were addressed to him for concluding the Brest-Litovsk peace. TOM ro GO Hi RECORD 0 BETTER Tom Mix, “the daredevil of the screen; is coming to the Hltinge “heatre, tomorrow, as usual under the direction of William Fox, in “3 Gold Coins, a stirring Western dra- ma by H. H. Van Loan. In this pic- ture Mix will be seen at his best, providing innumerable thrills by dar- ing deeds of horsemanship and marks- manship. Mix will be seen in a double role in this picture, appearing as Bob Feming ‘and later as “Bad Pat” Duncan, a murderer-handit, whom he captures and receives a $10,000 reward. Among the “daredevil” stunts which Mix stages in this thriller is the sensational ~ escape from the court room when he leaps to the balcony and then swings successively from three buildings hy means of a flagpole halyard. One of the most effective scenes is said to be that showing Mix drop- ping from the high flagpole when the rope is ‘pierced by a bullet from the sheriffs revolver. alights on the horse of- “Bad Pat” Duncan, the bandit, and Tom rans the criminal behind the ear, knock- ing him out.

It seems as if Brinton and Waters knew too: much and consequently were dan- gerous to the big boss. ‘Therefore, they were thrown overboard and the splash they made -like the farmers’ shot at Lexington, could be “heard around the world.”—and if 1 mistake not may prove nearly as dangerous in ertain quarters. The farmers are roused as never before. I have talked to.a good many of them during the past few days and they are beginning to ask themselves how long they have been asleep. And what happened in the meantime. This is a good sign for let them once become wide awake and Townley and his bunch will go higher than a kite in the coming election. Each one has the same story to tell of being victimized. But few have es- caped who joined. the organization. Once having gotten their names on the “sucker list” they became the tar- get for every agent who came through the country. But Townley has_ overplayed his hand. He thought the farmers were bigger fools than they are, and as a consequence from now on he will have hard sailing—even through the air. Farmer after farmer have said to me, “They'll not get any more of my mon- ey. 1 know now just what they are— and wait till election day.” I hear that a good many of the “headliners” have sold their homes in Bismarck preparatory to a swift’ imi- gration when the.time comes. The planks are greased and the stage is set and soon the last act will be play- ed in a drama that began with all the elements of the greatest success ever attained, and ended the greatest fail- ure, from an economic standpoint, ever foisted upon a credulous public. Undoubtedly the league has done some good. It has taught the farm- ers the power of organization and al- AL AWW~~.

The farmer must read more, think more and study more. He must take his place in society and no more be the rube and hayseed he is caricatured in the press. Until he does this, car- petbaggers and agitators will find him a ready listener to their ha- rangue, and socialistic theories. For, remember this: There is no straight road to Utopia. Heaven is not gained by a single bound, neither'is prosper- ity. When a smooth-talking organ- izer calls on you, before you give heed to what he has to say, find out who he is, what he has to offer and whom he represents. Do not build on the sands where the fierce waves of red ruin will sweep you away. But build on the Rock of Progress. Then Peace and Prosperity will shine on you, not the “New Day” of Class Ha- tred and Bolshevism of poor, benighted Russia! (The End.) The planet Neptune is farthest from the sun in our solar system.
