Their hopelessness, too often, is due to. their‘ helpless- ness. “In every community there are many victims of the disease in need of home care and instguction as to how they can cure themselves and ‘protect others— Protect you and your loved ones! The organized fight against tuberculosis needs your aid. ® Will you help fight the white plague? , It has been made very easy“for you to aid in the battle... .... : ; ; The least: you can do is to invest in Christmas Seals, the money going to the public health nurs- ing service, for the work of free dispensaries, and open air schools. Your money will go to aid hu- man beings, who, more than any other, need aid. Stick a Christmas Seal on every letter, on every package! . Z It is your Christmas gift to the victims of tu- berculosis.

' ENFORCING THE LAW Prohibition enforcement officers have been in- structed to prosecute persons selling hops' and malt in connection with other ingredients for the home manufacture of beer. This has given rise \ to some criticism. ' But it is merely enfortement of a law. The Volstead act prohibits the:sale of ingred- ients intended for the. manufacture ‘of intoxicating liquors. It prohihits the manufacture. ‘The latest instruction merely reiterates what al- ready ig written updn the statute -books of the country. If it is displeasing to a majority of the citizens there is but, one thing to be done about the matter: Repeal the Volstead act. The law should be enforced. If non-enforcement is desired but one way is open: Repeal the law. Incfeased majorities against the liquor traffic, registered in recent elections, would indicate that the majority of Americans are not in favor of repealing.the prohibition enforcement legislation. Very well, then, ‘enforce it! That. is legal, and it ig justice, for the will of the majority in America is law. oe f Wilson moves out in March, but he’ll leave a trunk full of problems for Harding to solve. FIUME’ FUTURE Fiume has been made an independent city under Italian influences. The Jugo-Slavs who dominate the city’s population, will be drawn away from their own fatherland and closer to Italy by means of economic interest. In time, Fiume will become Italian and will be formally annexed tovItaly. This is the result of the long diplomatic battle , between Italy and Jugo-Slavia.. A’ stretch of rocky seacoast and a few other unimportant con- cessions. have been secured-by the Jugo-Slavs. But, Italy has obtained the most valuable of the Dalmation coast positions and has improved her northeastern stragetic frontier. A strip of land | rightly belonging to independent Fiume, has been ceded to Italy so that a corridor of Italian territory binds-the port of Fiume to the kingdom of Italy. This corridor will give Italy a dominant influence over Fiume. \ Jugo-Slavia has made the best of a bad bargain. No country went to her support. A few words of sympathy were spoken at Washington, but they had no result except to cause Italy to wait until _the American presidential election had ended. Then, renewed pressure was brought to bear on the Jugo-Slavs and they accepted the inevitable. Little nations still must do as they are told in Europe. One’is not staggered by the quantity or quality of the harmony on tap at Geneva. TOYLAND | Shops. already. show. a. shimmering line. of Christmas toys. .

For Toyland is already aglow with tint and tin- sel, and a thousand varieties of toys that not only entertain, but educate, lacking nothing but the presence of a Christmas tree and old Santa himself to make the picture complete. Wonder if a turkey gets suspicious when folks start to overfeed him? i PASSING THE BUCK “One reason you’ve heard so many kicks against the Federal Reserve Board in recent | months,” a banker said, “is because some bankers haven’t the courage to take responsibility for their own decisions, and find it convenient to ‘pass the buck’ to the. Federal Reserve, Board..:# “For. instance; a: mani arde”in this bank'today and wanted to borrow $5,000 to buy ‘stock in a speculative proposition. I told him I was sorry, but we weren’t lending money for speculative pur- | poses. . “Oh, that Federal Reserve Board again but- ting into everyone’s private businegs,’ he said. “ ‘No,’ I answered, ‘it isn’t the Federal Reserve | Board at all. We aren’t lending money for specu- our regular business customers and for the farm- ers. This is an agricultural community, and ev- erything we can do to help the farmers helps us and you and everyone else in town.» “There’s been too much blaming of the Federal system, we’d be in the worst panic in history right now, and every good banker knows it. But too many bankers haven’t the nerve to take the! responsibility for refusing loans’ and other loans; which they thought it not best to make, and so they’ve soft soaped such applicants by saying the Federal Reserve Board wouldn’t let them make the loans. “This has been one of the’principal causes of the growth of hostility toward and criticism of 1h federal reserve banks.” This banker is right. The federal reserve sys- tem has performed a tremendous service for the whole nation at this time of readjustment.

They are presented here in order that our readers may have’ both eides of important issues which are being dis- cussed in the press of the day. ) THE POORLY PAID PREACHER WHO WORKS et AT A TRADE The Rev. Benjamin A/ Sherwin had a wife and five children whom he undertook to support on a salary of $93.4 month.\ Domestic concord did not endure, and Mr. Sherwin brought an action for divorce against Mrs. Sherwin. Judge Phillips of the Court.of Common Pleas in Cleveland, Ohio,-re- fused to grant the divorce, gave the five children into Mrs. Sherwin’s custody, ordered the Rev. Mr. Sherwin to pay her $60 a month, and said: “. “T considered it extreme cruelty for a man with a wife and five children to remain at his job, even though it be that of a minister, which pays only $93 a month. “An ablebodied man such as you are should have taken up some other profession.” The news reportfrom which the details of an unusual case are taken ludes with, the sen- tence “Sherwin has a job as a machinist.” Appar- ently he has taken Judge Phillip’s rebuke to heart. If he has done this he has shown good sense. There is no reason why a\minister upable to ob- tain a church sufficiently well to do’or liberal to pay him a living wage should not work at a trade or a profession. “His message to humanity will not be impaired as to quality because he rubs shoulders with humanity in its’ daily ni in the field, the shop or the offce. q On the contrary, infcrmal association with men and women at their customary tasks should be of the greatest benefit to a preacher. It should broaden his mental horizon, correct his concep- tion of many grave social problems, strengthen him in charity and tolerance. Nor does honest labor detract in anv way frcm the ministerial dignity; indeed, it shculd add to the respect in which the preacher is held. Manv of the greatest and best teachers of retigion hays labored at trades. Judge Phillips’ definition of "extreme cruelty many not be endorsed by everybody and his crit- icism of the selection of the ministerial profession by an ablebodied man certainly will be resented. We want ablebodied ministers in all the churches; the churches would not long amount to much without ablebodied ministers. Indeed, where a congregation does not pay its minister enough to live on only an ablebodied man could do the outside work necessary to make both ends meet and to ; the Meadow Grove school at the usual BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE TUESD. 30, 1920 C THE FAIRYMAN WAKENS Probably Nick never would have found out what was wrong with Mr. Scribble Scratch had*it not been for an_ accident. You know he had found the fairy- man schoolmaster sound asleep at his own breakfast table one fine fall morning when he hadn't appeared at time, and opening the back door in- to his house by the bittersweet clump, had found him peacefully snoring. The little boy had discovered also that the fairyman’s cream had a queer smell, coffee, too. Another thing he liad noticed was some paddy-tracks Wasp Weasel had~ left. Evidently Wasp, the worst boy in school, had made a visit to the schoolmaster early that morning. } This was the accident that helped Nick’ to discover what had happened. He slipped on something!

Physiologists, after having measured hundreds of skeletons, testify that the men of our own time average from one to two centimeterstaller than the men of the middle ages according to. a wri- ter in the New York.Evening Post. We possess their armor, and we do not only appear to have grown taller? as a e since the time when the armor was made, but our shoulders could never fit inside the steel corselets of our medieval forefathers. In France, the superintendent of the museums under the second empire, wishing to put on the armor of Francis ; I, the largest suit of all in the museum of artillery, was unable to do so. It was too small for him, although he was in no sense a giant. Some years ago in Switzerland, on the occasion of a gymnastie’.tourna- ment, the young men wishing’to close | the festivities by a procession with historic costumes, borrowed the arms and armor of the arsenal. But the young men were unable to get into It. Of the supposedly enormous strength of those historic warriors we have no proof beyond the weight of the equip-: ment. The harnéss of the knights was very much lighter than has commonly been supposed. According to one of the entalogues of the museum of ar- tillery, the weight of the combined ar- mor did not, as a rule, exceed fifty pounds, and inasmuch as those who wore it were horsemen it was the horse | that had to ber the greater part of the burden. “ON THE ROAD TO MANDALAY” Babel of Tongues at Burmese City to Witness Dedication of New Pagoda. A curious festival was held not long ago In Mandalay,.the chief town of Burma. A new pagoda dedicated to the Buddhist religion was to be com- pleted by the placing of a huge crown or thi upon its summit, more than 300 feet above the ground. z To witness the cermony came Bud- dhists from, Indo-China, from. the Himalayas, from Laos and Chan and Siam, Warriors from Katschin, sor- | cerers from Mct and people from oth- i er places made a medley of languages | .like that, of Babel. On a street corner would be scen a barber pulling a customer's teeth. On another corner a Mohammedan bird dealer sold caged paroquets to Buddhists, who piously set them free. At very modern booths one could buy ice cream, soda or tea. Mandalay was a gorgeous spectacle and the new B pagoda was thé center of it. Every pagoda has at its summit ay thi, or cap, the placing of which is often a herculean ‘task. The one to be raised weighed several hundred pounds and consisted of a jgilded ball and crown and a great spindle above it. To get it to the top an inclined plane of bamboo scaffolding ke a huge toboggan slide had been built and was decorated with silk flags and umbrellas. Up the inclined plane the heavy cap was slowly pulled. Six d were required for the ascent and a seventh to fasten it in place. A WOMAN DOCTOR says, “Eugenics is a necessary fac- tor in the future of the race.

One of the most grim articles of household furniture known to man ts the kubioke, or head bucket of the Japanese of the old days. The bucket was a part of the furnishings of the samural, or fighting man in‘ court cir- cles, and was kept by him in a high, narrow closet with sliding doors close j to an alcove, considered the place of honor of a samurai’s home, When the! head of the house offended his lord there was no bother of a trial or an arrest. Instead there came a very po- lite note from the court, which stated the lord was sure that the samurai, would return the noble honor bf his family. The messenger took back a note as polite as thg one brought, in which the writer thanked his lord for his honorable generosity, | He then shaved, bathed, donned a white robe, and committed hari-kari by falling on his sword. His head was taken off and placed In the kubioke, wrapped in white paper, and a nap- kin bearing his crest was placed over it. A messenger then took the bucket to the court, where the head was ex- hibited and identified and then re- turned to the family with a polite note of regret. The head-bucket now Is merely a decorative bit, ag little used as the spinning wheel of our own parlors.
