It lamented the fact that the Nestos platform still stood for continued socialism not so much as a matter of conviction but because of a sordig political expediency which is paralyzing the battle against socialism and re- ducing |the position of he: Independents to one of; abgurdity. 38 ‘The Tribune had hoped that the Jamestown convention, would formulate a pfogram to end the political hypocrisy which has actuated every cam- paign against the } Nonpartisan League. ~ Whether one agrees with the wisdém’ of the candidacy of H. L. Stegner or not, there is con- siderable enthusiasm for the platform upon which he will run and upon which he will doubtless get a number of votes from those who are disgust- ed because of the eternal compromise with social- ism in the I. V. A program. The Tribune has always stood for what Mr. Stegner advocates. It.can see no real relief for} the tax payers or final redemption for the state until every vestige of socialism is wiped out. It} takes considerable courage for a man to come out | Editor} ag Mr. Stegner has and put the; issue up fairly; béfore the voters of the state. His motives are|: pound to be questioned by self seeking politicians. | Every plank that is material in Mr. Stegner’s platform has been endorsed in this excellent edi- torial of the Fargo Forum. Of course there can be no argument against the Forum’s stand.except as political expediéncy dictates. The only way to! end socialism is to end it. : ag “Governor Nestos and. Mr. Baker have practic- ally the same platform. A. C. Townley in Bis- marck at his famous balance of power meetings openly urged the league to support Nestos be-| cause he stood for everything the league wanted. | He argued vigorously against putting anyone in| the field against Governor Nestos. This is just orfe! evidence of the political inconsistencies. that con- front the voters of the state. The platform of Mr. Stegner is refreshing then to those who want an honest' fight against state; socialism. The latest entrant into the guberna- torial race advocates the calling of a constitu-| tional convention to rewrite the organic law of the state so that all socialistic provisions can be elim-| inated. He would cease work on the Grand Forks mill and elevator. and salvage it to the best inter- ests of the state,,; He declares. further that he will turn the y in the Bank of North Dakota and dispase' e Drake mill and elevator: This will result in removing hundreds from the state| payroll. The recall merely replaced leaguers with I. a A. henchmen. 5 Taxpayers should realize that Gov. Nestos and hig administration have the same power as the Nonpartisan jeague did’ to slap a mortgage on! every farm and every parcel of land in the state. This is being done with every bond issue to con-| tinue the operation of state owned industries | which have been shown to be rank failures, | It may be’ aiding the enemy; it may be playing into league hands to be honest on the fundamen- tal principles as I. V. A. newspapers charge, but one must admire the courage of a man who is not! afraid to urge in his platform that principles are| to be held above the lust for political plunder. | The I. V. A. controlled by Grand Forks and| Fargo political bosses is willing to continue the league program so long as its henchmen.can say ‘It is a real battle, with airplanes and artillery. ‘net operating income or profits of $47,762,600. and. le. ‘are solemnly engaged.

The fish-berry, known ‘to science as “cocculus indicus,” is about half an inch long. Its poisonous or narcotic principle is picrotoxin. Hindus throw fish-berries into rivers, fish eat them, get drunk and are picked up from boats as they float on the surface. Any angular who can beat that for a fish story, come forward. This one is true. Ask your doctor. CHINESE BATTLE Chinese armies battle along a 130-mile front. No American pays much attention to it, be- causa the Chinese are fighting among themselves. It would be another story if the bullet were com- ing our way. ’ It was different 1500 years ago, when an army of 20,000,000 Chinese pushed westward through Europe, to be defeated and driven back at the Marne. . That excursion has almost vanished from our histories. But the impression it'made on our an- cestors still runs in our blood as an instinctive fear of the Yellow Peril. EARNINGS ' The Class One railroads during February had This is shown by reports filed with the Inter- state Commerce Commission. It’s equivalent to the roads earning $4.57 a year on each $100 of their total valuation. Considerable time has passed since that valua- tion figure was fixed. Business men, who have been writing off losses in their inventories, will wonder how much the railroads have depreciated in value during the nation-wide price’ collapse. A material depreciation would boost the 4.57 figure announced as the annual earning rate dur- ing, February. TITLE TO AIR Do you own the air above your property?

They are presented here iTbrder that our readers may have both aides of impareart inves | which are being discussed in the press of the.day McCUMBER’S POWER Senator McCumber is now ‘chairman of the finance committee, the most powerful committee in congress. As such he has embodied a 35c tariff on wheat ‘and other grain in proportion. This will mean that Canadian wheat coming in to the United States must pay 35c a bushel to get across the line, and' in effect would mean that wheat would be 35c a bushel more in North Dakota than |‘ in Canada. Senator McCumber was also instru- mental in obtaining the appropriation of one mil- lion dollars for the drought-stricken farmers of North Dakota. This was of great service to the state and was only possible on accpunt of the posi- tion which the Senator has attained’ through his long service. This is the first time in the history of the United States that the chairman of this im- portant committee has been in the hands of an agricultural state. If Senator McCumber is: de- feated it would pass back. No. stronger reason could be given for the reelection of Senator: Mc- Cumber. A new man from North Dakota would be 24 years or longer in reaching a position to aid the farmers.+Shields Enterprise. JUDGES MOST KNOW A LOT Everybody says that lawyers and judges should be very learned. Cases, come’up every day that test their acquirements to the utmost. Take this Kansas instance over which attorneys and jurists board have a right to exclude from the local high where the securities shall be sold and who stall; hold the jobs and direct the industries. Principles} have been forgotten in the mad rush for political | pelf and power.” Deficits continue to pile up as the| bond issues go on merrily to engage’ in unprofit-| able ventures. i The Tribune commends Mr. Stegner’s platform | and his honest, fearless statement of the issues} ‘and whether he goes down to defeat or wins the/ victory, he certainly declines to use Townley’s | bait in luring votes under I. V. A. auspices. In! that respect he is at least consistent and his elec-| tion on such a platform would save the taxpayers | of this state millions and show to the.world.that |: North Dakota has not merely turned out one crowd of pot hunters -for another, but has repu-| diated state socialism whether of the league or! the I. V. A. brand. His success also would be a! Republican victory unmarred by trades and deals| with the Democratic and Socialistic opposition. | These. are facts for.exery voterteeensiders +) school two girl‘pupils whose skirts did not extend three inches below their knees? That question is being ‘argued desperately, and is tangled in a maze of demurrers and other pleadings. And there’s more still. The judge has to set- tle the profound problem whether or not the skirts did in fact extend three inches below the knees. This case is on its way to the supreme court of Kansas. Equally deep contentions come before the Brit- ish judges. A wigged occupant of the:king’s bench has just handed down a decision that a col- lege lecturer was rightfully dismissed for steal- ing a kiss from a miss after school hours. The} learned’ judge took pains to say that his decision | shculd not-be-taken as a precedent, as most cases! are in England, but each dereliction of the sort| must be considered on its own merits. Thus exceedingly small does the legal. mill| grind. Judges must be monuments of erudition. {By NEA Service.

Or rather it looked like another round moon. ° Now I’m going to tell you a funny thing, my dears. When you're on the earth you look up at the moon, or over at it, depending. upon where it is. And when you’re on. the.moon you look wp at the earth. or over at it, or down at it, depending on where it is. It’s a sort of a game of hide and seek that the earth and ‘the ,moon play, bobbing about the way they do, and that is the reason that sometimes the moon looksi-tittle like a sickle and sometimes like, half! a pie and some- times like a silver dollar. ‘Because the’ earth gets'in‘the moon’s Way and cuts off part of its |light. :" 4; 14 aS It’s as easy to understand as in- come tax, my dears, and- something that neither you nor I.need to bother »pout.

It looks like Mr. Stegner is about right, IfJack’s cat is black and Bob's feline is of the same color, Bob’s cat must be block too. Of course Bob can whitewash his cat but nevertheless the cat is still black under the white- wash and will show its color when: the whitewash wears off. Hence, even if the three-in-one Aa- ti-Socialistic Socialists whitewash their socialsm, it will be found to he socialism when the whitewash peals off. i'e—_———_—.

The real rea- son. “Why Leave Home” is mainly “the parents.” The producers | of the picture have selected two spe- cific instances which, because of their wide contrast, gover a wide range. These two stories develop side by side through a most masterly con- struction of the scenario and afford solid ‘entertainment every minute. Anna Q.

This touch is found in the ‘prologue whih shows the North county in the days of the French Chev- alier, When knights fought for a fair lday’s: hand. This comes in decided contrast with the story itself, which \ceals. with the North Dakota country at the present day.
