Those well groomed and well fed watchdogs of the Bank of North Dakota, Cathro, McIntosh et al., are much concerned over the initiation of a law at the November elections which provides for periodical examination of the bank and makes the depositing of public money there optional with the political subdivision of the state. League organs insist that the proposed law means the ruination of the institution and the collapse of the industrial program which Com- rade Lemke has so carefully nourished at the expense of the taxpayers and localities, drained of public moneys to furnish a “profit” for Cathro’s state bank. The “profit” so vigorously emphasized in each bulletin is nothing more nor less than an arbi- trary tax on public funds and which in all due justice should go to the coffers of the townships, counties and’ other political subdivisions which _are being milked to produce the alleged profit. “Voters of North Dakota are thoroughly alive and know that the proposed law is a proper safe- guard. Counties which desire to contribute to the bank by depositing their money there at a lower rate of interest than is paid by their own local banks can do so and take what joy they can out of the sacrifice upon the altar of the NewDay. If such an arrangement can ruin the bank then it should be ruined for it is no more than a para- site upon the public and serves no purpose except to increase the overhead cost of government. The initiated law properly provides for exam- inations at stated periods by persons elected by the people. bank’s destruction then the institution ought to be destroyed. ; Mr. Cathro after his damaging testimony under oath is a poor apologist for the Bank of North Dakota. While the bank was sapping the counties dry. of all public money, this fountain head of the New Day had millions deposited in the eastern banks doing duty in those centers which Townley has referred to as the “dens of big business.” As high as nine millions of North Dakota mon- ey was doing business in banks which Townley has referred to time and again as the “tools of the Chamber of Commerce.” But of course Mr. Cathro argues the bank has to make a profit. Deception and hypocrisy are negligible in the general scheme of keeping this state financial aborption out of the red. One of the most sensible articles written on the Bank of North Dakota has come from the pen of J. E. Phelan of Bowman, a former presi- dent of the North Dakota bankers’ association. It was addressed to the Fargo Forum and the Tribune is reproducing it elsewhere because it 3338s hits the nail squarely on the head and explains|’ what even the sophistry of Cathro cannot refute. That “great and solemn referendum” is not great, nor solemn. Nor is it a referendum. Its a cinch. ‘ DEMOCRAT FOR HARDING The newspaper published by Governor Cox at Dayton, Ohio, complains because Senator Harding seems to have the faculty of bringing together in complete harmony all the elements of the Re- publican party which have been at outs some time in the past. Mr. Cox’s paper seems to think there is something wrong with a man who can secure cooperation and good feeling. In the opinion of that paper, any man upon whom all Republicans can agree, must be a bad man. Strange reasoning, that. Surely the great mass of the Republicans of the country are neither fools nor knaves. Since, therefore, they are uniting in support of Harding, the only logical conclusion is that Harding is worthy of the support of Re- publicans of all previous affiliations. To insin- uate, as the Cox paper does, that Harding is too effective in bringing hither to discordant ele- ments to his support, is to reflect upon the intel- ligence of the Republicans of the country. And if the Cox paper reflects upon the intelligence of the supporters of Harding, how can it hope’ to win them to the support of Cox, after thus in- sulting them? But there is something else the Cox paper might well take into consideration. Mr. Harding is not only getting the enthusiastic support of all elements of Republicanism—he is getting a very considerable Democratic support. Here, for instance, is Thomas F. Cooney, of Providence, R. I, who was the Democratic nominee for Con- gress from the second Rhode Island District a{Mr. Alsberg’s brotherhood as a substitute for! few years back. Cooney, like many other Demo-! crats, is an out-spoken advocate of the election of Harding and is opposed to Cox ‘because ,of the latter’s advocacy of the British-Wilson league of nations scheme. And the reasons set forth by Cooney are in- -|teresting. Among other things, Mr. Cooney com- ments upon the assertion made by Cox that the league is-but an extension of the Monroe Doctrine, and shows that at no time has the Monroe Doc- trine contemplated making the security of the Western Hemisphere from invasion a subject for international agreement. The Monroe Doctrine is not a “regional understanding” as suggested by the League covenant, but a policy adopted by America’ for her own protection. Adoption of the league covenant would be abandonment of the Monroe Doctrine and throw Western Hemis- phere affairs into world controversies. Answering the remark of President Wilson that “America of today as compared with the America of Washington’s time is as are arc light to.a tallow candle,” Mr. Cooney concedes the fact, | but very: aptly remarks that the following of Washington’s preeepts was what brought America to the high place she oceupies today. But for our avoidance of European entanglements, the United States would be still a tallow candle, or might have been snuffed out entirely. Mr. Cox cannot even hold the members of his own party. RESULTS OF RADICAL AGITATION It appears that Charlie Chaplin was a socialist until his spouse demanded a division with him of his $3,000,000 estate,and then it was a case of “faith, ye know"Tv t two pigs.” A million- aire socialist is an anomaly, but not a rarity in this land of opportunity. We have had a number of them—J. G. Phelps Stokes, for example. They do a lot of talking but precious little dividing. The wonder is that they find anyone'so stupid as to listen to them, but they do have audiences, and they frequently beguile some of their hearers into perpetrating outrages which horrify the nation. Cox asserts that he is not going to “violate the Presidential oath.” The country is fully pre- pared to see to that. President Wilson says that he feels “that the very honor and destiny of the nation are involved in this campaign.” They are. Maine realized it. The country realizes it. The Supreme Court of Maine has decreed that a woman need not tell her age in order to vote.

The Yamato came up against the fol- lowing recently: “Last month I married a certain man, but he has now divorced me. His unreasonable ex- cuse is that my eyebrows are a pale color and that I must therefore be a leper. Can I sue him for the damage he is causing to my reputation? A Subscriber.” The answer was: “Yes, you can sue him for breaking off the marriage as he can- not use a pale-colored eyebrow as a cause for divorce.” : More of a poser was submitted to the wisdom of the Yomiuri in the following: “I am a woman of 20 years. I was born with a round face and my friends make fun of it. Please tell me some way that I can change the shape of my face, for the persecution to which I am subjected is more than I can bear. A. subscriber.” The editor deserves credit for the truth and sympathy of his answer: “I am very sorry, but I do not know of anybody who can change the shape of your face. However, be encouraged, full-faced lady, as you are the personification of the health of humanity.”—Tokio Advertiser. x ; HUNGRY, BUT BROTHERS A Socialist, Henry G. Alsberg, writes with enthusiasm for the New York Nation from Mos- cow, on “The Soviet Domestic Program.” The greater part of the Socialist program, he says, has been at any rate sketched in. The peasants are hostile, but the leaders intend to see that they shall not kill the social revolution nor be the means by which Russia “will relapse into capital- ism, so that the long and painful struggle up- ward into socialism will have to be gone through with again.” Here, evidently, is a witness wholly favorable to Bolshevism. Let him tell what actually has been accomplished: A true democracy of material condition has been enforced. There are no great dif- ferences in dress or standards of living. Everybody is always more or less shabby; everybody always more or less hungry. I think this matter of a common standard of living is not to be exaggerated. It makes for true brotherhood. It is feared that the bulk of Americans are so grossly materialistic that they- wouldn’t take bread.—Kansas City Star. 26 MILLION WOMEN ELIGIBLE TO VOTE IN NOVEMBER ELECTION Washington, Sept. 29.—Fgures com- piled by the census bureau and other government departments indicate that the number of women in the United States over 21 years of age is 28, 000 of whom approximately 26$00,001 are eligible to vote in the November election. This estimate makes a lib- eral allowance for alien women, American women married to aliens and others ineligible. Exact figures: are not available ov the number of women over 21 byt barred from voting through various reasons. Census Bureau officials be- lieve, however, that this year at least 1,000,000 of the 5,250,000 foreign-born women in the United States will not yet haye become naturalized. In ad- dition there were in 1910, according to the census about 60,000 Indian women most of whom were living on reserva- tions, 8,607 Chinese and Japanese wo- men ineligible to vote, a comparative- et ly small number of American women | marired to aliens and barred fro: vot- ing for that reason and a larg ber deprived he ballot und statues in harmony with cor al provisions.

The number of eligible maie vot +15 in the United States this year has not been determined. Based on an ‘i- mated population of 105,000,009,» 7- ever, the census bureau figured that there are now 24,807,000 men in ihe United States over 21 years of age, of whom probably 500,000 would be entitled to vote in November. f With! the Movies | | CITY NEWS | TOM MIX IN THRILLING DUAL s ROLE Tom Mix, the “daredevil of the screen,” ‘will exhibit his daring stunts on the screen at the Eltinge theatre tonight, when William Fox presents him in his latest picture, “3 Gold Coins.” a thrilling Western dra- ma by H.

He seemed to have a very weak stomach. It just looked like he couldn’t eat anything and digest at like other children. He had no appetite at all and what little he did eat seemed to sour on his stomach. Sometimes his heart would palpitate terribly and he would get so digy he could hardly walk. He would have bad headaches and was nervous and could never sleep at night. At school he was never able to keep up his work and he had to stay out a great deal on, account of poor health. “IT had heard so-much about Tanlac I decided to try it and see if it wouldn’t help him.
