Surely he must be old-fashioned, for it seems an age ago since he (and we) were guilty of such fatuous childishness as a celebration of what we conceived to be the greatest event of history— the winning of the great: war. es Not that we were particularly blameworthy. Rather, that is the pity of it. Why is man so constituted that he has no adequate vent for his hughest emotions? Or why.is he not so culti- vated that he could find such a vent? Doubtless at such a time. we all felt the im- pulse to shout in one ocean-to-ocean chorus a great paean of rejoicing. We felt the inner de- sire to leap and\dance and give expression to our joy in some/eautiful figure of physical rhythm. We wanted to exclaim in the sonorous language of the Hebrew prophets, the organ voice of Mil- ton or the grand chant of Shakespeare’s verse. But we were chained by the\limitations of our commercial, work-a-day existence, which had had no training in Expression. And so we formed little lock-step parades, we hallooed a little, we rang bells and blew penny whistles. and made all sorts of discordant and unmeaning noises and we made as much muss for the street-cleaners as possible. + And we were all a little ashamed of it, and a little rebellious that we had never been taught to express ourselves. Editor Bryan voted the straight Democatic ticket, but : he sure kept the boys guessing. PIN MONEY _ ! Wives ought to be real partners with their husbands. They should be financial equals as well as political equals. They should, have an allow- ance at least, and not be ground down to almost begging for “pin money.” That’s what a lot of women believe. Yet the probabilities are that some millions of them have to do that very thing. And that brings one around to a discussion of just what “pin money” is and where the term originated. Pins were an invention of the four- teenth century. Yes, but the fellow who made them was, for some reason or other, allowed to sell them but on two days of the year, the first and second of January. ; Hand-made, pins were high in price. None but the wealthy could buy them. And it became a custom for money to be given to women at their marriage to be used for the purchase of pins—just pin money. Pl Pins grew cheaper, and the law fixing their date of sale was thrown off, but the custom of calling it pin money, when small sums were given. to women for personal expenditure, like the pins themselves, stuck. ‘ Wives, real leaders of thought think, they are entitled in’ these advanced. days to much more than pin money. A fifty-fifty division would be more nearly the proper thing. The merry Kerry dancers seem to be stepping to the music of machine guns these days. : WHAT CAUSE IT? Cox was defeated April 6, 1917. ‘ The date America declared war? Yes. . Weren’t Americans justified in declaring war? Undoubtedly. Didn’t the American people support the war loyally, enthusiastically, whole-heartedly, non- partisanly? All true. ; Yet America didn’t want to go to war. Ameri- ca had convinced herself she’ could keep out of war. In the national election of 1916, no party stood for war, no candidate committed himself to the position that we ought to go to war. And so, although in 1917. Americans knew they were justified in making war and practically every, ‘American convinced himself that we ought to be at war, as we were, just the same there was this underlying psychology of the year before and just as soon as the war was over, it re-asserted itself, even though no one gave it utterance. The war, as far as America is concerned, was | fought for an ideal, but even though man achieves | an ideal, it is hard for him to realize it. , Fran? knew she had won the war, because the | Germans were driven from her soil and she put in a claim for a large indemnity. England knew) ghe had won the war, because her ships again sailed the ‘seas and brought the~sorely-needed food and supplies to save her people. But Amer- ica had no material symbol that she had won any- thing. War prices, war taxes, war restrictions still] prevailed and it was chiefly by those that the great bulk of Americans realized the war. Comparatively few were touched by the actual) grime and sweat and blood of the mighty struggle, so that.when Ameri¢ans looked for a release from something, or for a reward for something, behold, there was done! “A}l the more glory to America, then!” the, patriot exclaims, and he’is right, but man is so sonstituted that he cannot live in a state of high oxaltation indefinitely. : America blazed with an idealism during the war. As soon as the war was over, a psychical re- action had to come. It is human nature. y, The aftermath of war was irksome to nearly | averyone. Everyone hoped to escape this irk-; someness through a change. This change they; have made by an overwhelming majority. The turkey is a foolish bird. He spreads his tan-tail and thinks he’s camouflaged. THREE GILDED BALLS There they hang, three golden balls, just out- side and above the pawnbrokers’ shops. Some- cimes frowned upon, as a matter of fact the pawn- oroker frequently, is of the greatest aid to indi- viduals of the community’ Bthe poor’and the op- sressed can get money of him as a loan on goods; shat would have little chance for quick sale, And it is only as a last resort-that the average man or woman finds himself in the pawnbroker’s shop. Money-lending as.a business was first under- taken by the Italians, and the people of Lom- yardy proved highly successful at it. In Florence the great Medici family made the loaning of money on chattels their only means of livelihood. It happened that the coat of arms of the Medici family showed three ‘gilt balls. Others, noting the success of the Medici family, also began pawn- broknig. They adopted the gilt balls as the sign of their business, “stealing the Medici family’s stuff,” in the vernacular of the street. ‘ ————_——————— The woman who made all her Christmas pres- ants last August sits around now and tells about it in the most aggravating way. ig mae EDITORIAL REVIEW ‘Comments reproduced in this column may or may not express the opinion of ‘The Tribune. ‘They are presented here in order that our readers may have both eldes of important issues which are being dis- cussed in the press of the day. ; THE CALIFORNIA LAND LAW The “initiative measure” submitted to the} yoters of California recently is in form a project of law to extend and strengthen the Alien Land ict of 1913. To “all aliens eligible to citizenship under the laws of the United States” it guaran- tees full rights ‘to acquire, possess, enjoy and sransfer real property. This, of ‘course, does not include Japanese. They come under the head of “all other aliens,” mentioned in Section 2 of the proposed law, whose rights to buy and hold real astate are limited to the terms of “any treaty now axisting between the Government of the United State and the nation or country of which such alien is a citizen.” This at once raises the ques- tion whether the subsequent restrictions on Jap- anese landowning in California are in conflict with American treaty obligations. “That they, are not, there \is good Japanese authority for maintaining. Nor do they go counter to inter- national law. If they did, the similar statutes of Japan against land-holding by aliens would be called in question. The statement on this subject issued by the State Department on the eve of the election takes no ground either for or against the California proposal. It merely calls attention to the delicacy and importance of the matter. This; is proper enough, and its motive was diibtless to keep'the friendly record straight with the Japanese au- thorities. Negotiations with them are already under way, and it is hoped that an amicable agreement will be reached. The true course for Japan was indicated in June by the Japanese edi- tor of The Japanese Review of Internation Law, published in Tokio, when he said that the anti- Japanese legislation of Califcrnia was not to be dealt wtih by Japan “as a legal question,” but by “political and diplomatic methods.”—New York Times. BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE THURSDAY, NOV. 11, 1920 NDOMITABLE VICTORY MEMORIAL By Dr. James I. Vance. Qn the Mall, between the Capitol and the White House, Gn a site grant- ed by Congress, the people of Amer- ica are to erect, the National Victory Memorial Building to commemorate the services and sacrifices of the Americans who helped to win the World War. The plans for this noble building have been selected by the National Fine ‘Arts Society from a large num- ber‘ submitted by the foremost Amer- ican architects. The Memorial will contain one of the largest auditoriums in the world, having a seating capacity of 7,500, be- sides a number of smaller halls. Every state and territory will have its own, chamber, and the leading patriotic organizations will be pro- vided with headquarters in ‘the build- ing. The building is not only to be erect- ed, but endowed, so that its adequate maintenance shall be guaranteed for time to come, the funds being raised. by state appropriation, subscriptions from organizations having ‘an honor rou, and individual gifts. Victory, Memorial Building should make an irresistible appeal to the people of America.’ Surely we cannot do too much ‘to honor the mem- ory and herald the heroism of the American soldiers in the World War. The story of what they did is a chap- ter of undying fame, and will enr the annals of this nation as long as the flag flies. They entered the conflict at its su- preme crisis, and they entered with such daring, they fought with such skill and courage, they died with such abandon, that from the day the Stars and Stripes appeared among the col- =—oooOOOOOSSO STOMACH UPSET?

REMEMBER WHERE WE WERE 2 YEARS AGO be vay Wee ors of the allies, the doom of Teuton aggression was sealed. Tam not unmindful of the magnifi- cent vafor the French had shown; nor of the way, during those long, hard years, the British bore the brunt of battle. America has only cheers for its brave allies. It is. honor er that the soldiers we sent overseas fought so well as to prove themselves not unworthy a place in that glorious. line. But it is ours to. keep alive-the story of American arms. It is our high privilege to hand down to generations that are to come the story of the glory of the men of this generation who served andSacrificed, who fought and died to keep freedom alive in the earth. This is what the Victory Memorial on the Mall at Washington will do. Even if we could, it will not let us forget. And the sight of it will fire the heart with the flame of true Americanism.

Millions eg New Stomach One of the greatest American million- aires said to his physician, ‘‘A million dollars, Doctor, spot cash and no grum- bling, for a new stomach,’’ and then the sick man groaned and turned away, All his wealth could not make him happy or contented, for happiness large. ly depends upon digestion. Withoat Uealth where does happiness come inf After all the stomach plays a great part in everyday life. Without a healthy stomach and good digestion our blood is thin, watery and poor, our heart action is weak, our liver does not do its duty, and man is miserable and unhappy. Prevent disease by putting the house in order and strengthening the system against the germs of disease. Dr. Pierce, of the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y., years ago understood diseases and their prevention, and he discovered certain roots and herbs which were nature’s remedies, and succeeded in putting them up in a form that could be easily pro- cured at the drug store (liquid or tablets). This be called Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. This Dis- covery gives no false stimulation be- | cause it contains no alcohol or any nar- eotic. It helps digestion and the as- similation of such elements in the food as are required for the blood. It gives to the blood the food elements ‘the tis- sues require. For over fifty years it has , enjoyed’ the confidence of the American ‘public.
