Children had put Arbuckle on a pedestal as a king of clean fun-making. It puzzles them, how Fatty can be in jail]. Youth forms its ideals from youth’s heroes. Ideals are shattered with the wreck of a movie hero, as surely as the Black Sox left a hole.in the heart of every American boy-lover of clean sport. RENTS Reduce rents? Many Boston landlords prefer to let their houses remain idle, state investigators report. Rents,,will come.down. They can’t stay up when everything else is falling. Some landlords see the light. All will, after they get tired of a steady loss. An untenanted property eats itself up, in taxes and depreciation, in six and a half years. Half a loaf is better than no bread. DETECTIVES William J. Burns, chief of the secret service, says he yever read a detective story. Finds them too impossible. Long ago, the best’ detectives were baffled by the Mary Rogers murder: in New York. Edgar Allan Poe took all the facts and clues of the case and on it based a detective story, “The Mystery of Marie Roget.” Later the Mary. Rogers mur- der was solved—exactly as in Poe’s story. : Bill, before you condemn detective stories, bet- ter read Poe and Gaboriau. As for their imitators, you have their number. THE WAR BACILLI! How to end war.: A sensible.suggestion comes from the First Pan-Pacific Educational Congress, ; meeting in Honolulu. It urges governments, ‘scientists and educators to make scientific research into’ war; its causes ‘and prevention. , That’s on the right track. War is a mental and ‘spiritual disease. To curb it, then eventually stamp it out, handle it like tuberculosis or typhoid. 1; First, research. Then, education. & To get the war germs out of the human brain, | schools should teach how to avoid the ravages of ‘war epidemics and enjoy the benefits of peace- time health. 2 LANGUAGES There will he two official languages at the freshen disarmament conference — English ind Fyench. The official announcement has not ‘been made, but it soon will be. The tentative sug- igestion was made unofficially, a few wekes ago, ithat the proceedings could be much simplified if only one language—English—was used. ‘> The French people reacted instantly to the sug- gestion by demanding through their newspapers ‘that their language, the official language of di- -plomacy, also be used. .. The pressure on Premier Briand became so %trong that he has announced that under no cir- seumstances could the French government take Spart in a conference at which the French language divas not admitted as an official language. 3 # MOTHERS : 5 Pensions: for mothers with more than cight| Her to President Harding.

Americans love fun and they richly reward their funmakers. Arbuckle had the gift) of fun-making, and he’ reached a dazzling height of success, financially and otherwise. Evidently his personal qualities, however, have not been such as to commend him to the serious minded folks who have known him closely, for now that ‘an extremely serious accusation is laid against) jhim, he is greeted with a furious storm of bitter iinvective.

(By The Pot Boiier) The Minot Daily News sets up a dirge in a recent issue under the cap- tion: “The Bismarck Tribune's M take.” It is the old story of impugn- ing motives and of reverting to the political viewpoint that charges every- thing up to the McKenzie-McCumber domination, A letter has been dispatched by The Tribune to the Daily News seiting’ forth inr the “steentn” time its posi- tion and included is an explanation as to how state printing is awarded, The Minot Daily News editorial fol- lows: ee eee | “With The Courier-Naws of Fargo rushing to the defense ot The Bis- marck ‘Tribune and with anti-Townley newspapers everywhere heaving pears that The Tribune is becoming tagged, has strayed into the wrong garden and is fe int ay an alien tyough.

It should also realize that the change from the ultra radicalism, league leaders ; does not mean a proportionate pendu- lum swing back to old-time ultra con-| zie element comprises perhaps 10,000) voters in the’ state.

D. i Dear Sir: | uur attention has been called to anj editorial in your column entitled “Bis- | marck Tribune’s Mistake.” We have absolutely no quarrel with the Daily! News, because it is } supporting the; candidates of the I. V. A. and its pro- | gram, that is its tight and its privi-! acge. But we do take exception when you insinuate that the sentiments of The Tribune are dominated by what) you call the “McKenzie Crowd.” We also resent your insinuation that our opposition to the recall‘is based upon: the fact that The Tribune is doing state printing. { We are willing to pardon some of; your errors because of your recent) arrival in North Dakota and your lack of experience in the political align-' ments of this state. For your infor- mation, however, we are going to in- form you as to the operation of state printing in ‘North Dakota. All state printing is awarded strict- ly on bids and the successful bidder must be the lowest ‘responsible bid- der, At a recent meeting of the State Printing Commission The Bismarck} Tribune presented a bid on third andj fourth classes of printing. Its bid) was not accepted but on. the contrary} the work was awarded to the Norman- | den of Grand Forks, a militant sup- | porter of the I. V. A, program. Your gratuitous warning in the final | paragraph of your editorial that there | are other printing plants outside of the Capital is hardly worthy of you or the interest you sc-ve, to that kind of threats which have d in their cam- I. V. A. would, pitch their arguments on a higher level. D The Tribune has opposed the recall from its inception and is absolutely against any compromise with State Socalism. The Tribune is unalterably opposed to all forms of state ownership whether under I. V. A. or league aus- pices, We stand for the uncompr)mis- ing withdrawal of the state from all industrial activity. We feel tnai uue w. the fact that you have misinterprete] the Tribune’s position you should give this letter the same publicity as you brickbats at the capital daily it.ap-} gid your editorial, but whatever you! The Tribune may do in the. premises, The ‘Tribune wants to sét you right upon its posi- tion. e are §nclosing a pamphlet .¢on- taining editorial reprints from’, The Tribune which was_published and ,cir- culated long before any recall was decided upon. tes ‘ When tho Recall Cauldron | was launched, The Pot Boiler pictured some hard grihding for copy. But fel- low editors have been furnishing copy assiduously each week. The Trib- unes attitude seems to have become an issue in the recall campaign. Editor Streeter of the Emmons County Record finds.it hard to dis- tinguish between our stand now and the position the ‘Tribune took during the campaigns of Langer and O’Con- servation. Politicians say\the McKen-' nor, ‘he Tribune believes the use of the recall is vicious. It is also against the operation of the initiative and refer- endum. It opposes them because they pre socialistic slap sticks and destruc- tive of orderly fepresentative gov- ernment. The recall election is not a general election. There is no man- date from any party for the recall. True a few signatures to a petition have. been-secured, slightly more than 30 per cent of the total vote cast for goverror at the last general elec- tion, Does that indicate a ground swell for a recall? Just because the recall is here by It belongs | { FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1921 [ PLENTY OF ROPE, BUT— phe | | | vir we of a packed convention at ‘Devils Lake and the socuring of sig- Matures iby paid circulators, must everyone who opposes the expend- ‘jency of such an election be classed a: @ suprorter of the Nonpartisan League? Such fatuous argument con- tains its own refutation. The I. V. A. editors neglect wholly the fact that their leaders are travel- ing the same route as the Townley- ites, They have sugar coated and camouflaged their platform until it looks like, sounds like, and in pre- ,tense at least, is like the one upon ! which Frazier, Lemke and. Hagan stand. Frankly Editor Streeter, The Trib- une. is not worrying about its stand at all. 1¢ fails to find anything material | te. distinguish Nestos from . Frazier. Nestos wants Frazier’s. job and says elect'me and I will drive the radicals out. I will run that mill and elevator and the other state enterprises hon- estly. That. is political bunk which)! won't swallow. The ‘Tribune knows that the operation of state ~wnershin under I. V. A. aus- pices is going to be just as dismal a [failure as it’ has been under ‘league, management. Next June surely some program {trom which socialism is wholly elim- inated will be offered and construc- tive steps taken to clean house as it should be cleaned. , Just because The Record wants to compromise and hedge upon state so- cialism, is no reason why The Trib- une should do so in this recall elec- tion. } Mr. Streeter declares each voter and each newspaper MUST TAKE A CHOICE. Not at all Editor Street- er. There is no MUST about it. The ‘Tribune voices the protests of those ‘uncompromising Republicans who cannot be’ forced to take sides in the wrangle between the I. V. A. and the Nonpartisan socialists for a division and reapportionment of the political spoils, The I. V. A. has gone to the people four or five times on a compromising platform and failed each time. have used Townley’s bait in every election this organization was a fac- tor. The Tribune knows when it has had enough of the I. V. A., if Editor ! Streeter does not. That stand does not mean The Tribune is holding up the Nonpartisan League hands either. It means just this: Get primaries next June; scrap the Town- EVERETT TRUE —AND THE STRIKERS ACL WRONG. 1 HAD A TACK WITH THE PRE SIDENT OF, DID You TALK WITH ARS LONG) THE COMPANY YESTERDAY , (=| AND & GOT THE REAL DOPE.
