The vital portions of the transcript given to the press daily with the sanction of the committce will be published. None of the material facts will be concealed or obscured. Nor will any of the testimony be col- ored or emphasized to favor a coterie of politi- cians or any interests or group of interests. The Tribune is concerned primarily in giving the news of this investigation and when something} of a conclusive or constructive nature is evolved, to present that clearly for the perusal of. its readers. When the report was first filed with the Sen- ate, House and Board of Audit, representatives of the press were admonished by both factions to weigh carefully the contents of the report and were advised to restrict publicity to what devel- oped from day to day before the committee be- cause of the technical nature of the report. Believing this to be a wise procedure, The Tri- bune adopted that policy with the opening state- ment made by the committee and will continue such policy in handling the subsequent hearings. Inadvertantly injustices can be done to banks! by publishing only one side of the story. Doubt- less when the committee begins to read into the record names of banks—if such policy is ever followed outside of one or two extreme cases —these institutions will have their day in court so that no injury will be done to the bisiness structure of North Dakota. . The members of the committee now probing ‘into: the affairs of ‘the various state industries announced that they will be guided only by fair: ness. to every one concerned. Taking this state- ment as reflecting the attitude of a majority of the committee, the Tribune will develop the story of:the investigation as it unfolds under the di- rection of the legislators and attorneys intrusted with this important duty. No one can question but that conditions de- mand remedial steps and there should be the widest kind of constructive publicity to that end. At all its hearings, the committee has sedulously avoided listing banks intrusted with public funds with the exception of the Scandinavian Ameri- can bank of Fargo. All references to that or any other institution brought out by the committee at ha hearings have been published in The Tri- une, Out of the hearing on the handling of public; . funds which feature doubtless will be developed this week, should come a demand for the proper safeguarding of public funds if the contention is established by competent testimony that all the| allegations of mismanagement and favoritism! are true, . Snap judgments and deductions by inuendo in advance of the hearings will not bring the state any neater 'to a'soTution of her economic prob- Jems. When the Bank of North Dakota was es- tablished either inadvertantly or deliberately’ a very. good law went by the boards providing for sion within the last week seems greater than TH when the legislature convened. Everyone rec- ognizes that something should be done,—must' be done eventually, but none of those controlling! the political destinies is nearer a solution now| than ever. ‘ ‘ There is no necessity to reiterate here what must be done. Our duty is plain in respect to) fiscal reform—but will the great state of North} Dakota have the courage to mect the issue in A) big way? Underneath the surface, conditions are sound. | North Dakota is not cursed by inflated land val-| ues, Private speculation in land and other, schemes has been small compared to what has} | i} | i ‘Jobtained in other states now suffering greater, than North Dakota under the pressure of de-, flation. | North Dakota’s labor troubles are insignificant! and we have within the confines of our great! state all the factors that should make for sus-| tained prosperity. : i | | NOT OF OUR WORLD | Maeterlinck wrote that the insect does not be-| long to our world. Many, less learned in ento-| mology, agreed with him. Now, Dr, C. L. Bou | vier, the French entomologist, says: “something in the insects seems to be alien to the habits,! morals and psychology of our globe.” “One is tempted to wonder,” observes a writer in Current Opinion, “if the insects have not come: from some planet more energetic than our own,| more atrocious, more infernal. Prof. W. M. Wheeler asserts in Science that Rouvier will have to be taken seriously in his! finding that “the insect is an intruder into Na-| ture, an unwelcome guest, a factor in the world} neyer originally contemplated in the scheme of| evolution, the great enemy.” | Learned scientists thus agree with those in| khaki who were foraging grounds for cooties, and the young person who wears thin hosiery in mos- quito time, that insect is merely another name} for enemy. ; ek But the point is: science having decided that insects do not belong in this world should bestir itself to find a hasty way to deport them, or at least get them off this globe. 2 But how do you suppose the grandpa of these insects ever got off his planet and eame to ours? ‘A recent convention of plumbers was delayed, while the chairman went back to the shop for a! gavel. i : s | School boards which pay extravagant prices for land are usually deaf to the appeals of under- paid teachers 4 There’s no fun réealling the gay times that cost money in 1920—especially when you're doing it for the income tax blank. i We gather from the dispatches that Palmer’s| opinion of the Untermyer is only to be measured Greek diplomats gravely deny that King Tino| is to visit Smyrna.

They had a season of doubt. | But they are about to arrange their year’s adver-| tising schedules and there is every indication; that they will use printer’s ink in 1921 stronger | than ever.
