NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) Ei WHY STOP AT THE BANK? “There has never been the slightest legitimate excuse for the creation of the Bank of North Dakota as a commercial agency,” solemnly opines the Grand Forks Herald of recent date. The edi- torial continues to lambast the Home Building association and concludes empirically as follows: “My. Baker and his associates are pledged to the revival of both institutions, and if, by any chance they should gain control of thé administra- tion, the peoplé of North*Dakota would be doomed to another series of ill-considered and costly ex- periments in, fields where the activities of the state ‘are not*called for and do not belong.” The Herald speaks the truth, but why restrict the attack to the Bank of North Dakota and the Home Building association. Jerry Bacon is silent upon the Grand Forks Mill and Elevator and the Drake “experiment” which Secretary Crawford is attempting to show through skillful juggling of figures has made a profit within the last few weeks, but the Crawford statement will not bear close analysis and belongs to the species known ‘as campaign material to be taken before election and forgotten after the votes are polled. Everything the Grand Forks Herald says about the Bank of North Dakota and the Home Building association applies with even greater force to the Grand Forks Mill and Elevator. The) money losing possibilities of the Drake and Grand Forks ventures are much greater than would re- sult from the bank and home building ventures, but the mill and elevator mean political pork. for Jerry Bacon’s organization and that} is why The Herald is as silent as the tomb upon the business | wisdom of the state engaging on such an enter- prise. As the campaign continues, the inconsistencies | of the I. V. A. position will grow. State socialism is either right or wrong and it makes little differ- ence in the final analysis what political clique con- trols the administration of such theories. Taxes will pile up as relentlessly under one regime as another. The I. V. A. press may pat the administration upon,the back for its success at selling bonds as an evidence of North -Dakota’s “regained credit;” but with every bond that is sold fo boost the state into the mill, elevator or bank business, the state’s credit is lessened and the tax payer’s liabilities are increased. It should not make much difference to the tax payers whether the league or the I. V. A. is the tax master. Politicians are politicians and as one faction waxes in strength and becomes more entrenched in state socialism, bond issues will in- crease and pay diggswill arrive inevitably. The voters shpuld be thankful if bond issues could not be sold’ Such a‘situation means money .in their pockets despite the reluctance of leaguers on I. V. A. henchmen to tell them the truth. At a recent bond sale, no.real, estate bonds were sold. Action was deferred, it was announ- ced, because\pf certain, t icalities. Farm loans are more nepessry: ce ve conditions than a half million mote: ones: 0) money to be squan- dered at Grand Forks. But Jerry’s pork barrel took precedence over the farmer’s needs toward whose relief a golden stream was to flow after the recall had obliterated the last sordid traces of greed and graft. But it ’twas ever thus. The clear cut, logical platform of H. L. Stegner which proposes to wipe out the sorry mess and junk the league and I. V. A. program is gathering support despite the fact that most of the press refuses to discuss the chief issue in this cam- paign: Ridding the state of socialism and con- fiscatory taxes. It is to be hoped that the truth will be carried * to the people and then the hypocrisy of engaging in a campaign upon the other fellows platform on the sole issue, “elect us as we are more honest and less socialistic than the league” will dawn upon an electorate which is being plunged deeper into debt bvery day. to carry out a class program which the craven politicians believe means votes. , ART European artists believe that the United States is on the verge of a great artistic awakening. “Tt would develop normally with culture,” says William H. Fox, director of the Brooklyn Museum. “Indications are, it is coming fast. As a reaction from the war, wide-spread intefests in the best ‘ art works is rapidly developing. Attendance at the Metropolitan Museum of Art has doubled in the last six years.” This is both good news and bad. When a civili- \zation develops a great artistic culture, it is ripen- ling to-decay. Fear not, however. jas Charlie Chaplin’s custard pies. JEWELS | The big Dara-Gai-Noor diamond, which Prin- icess Fatima claimed was second largest in the jworld and worth $300,000, is knocked down for $5500 at a sheriff’s auction in New York. Government customs men had fixed its duty at $7000. Most sensational things in this world are like |skyrockets—wind up by fizzling. | Alexander the Great must be moaning softly in ithe Hereafter. The Dara-Gai-Noor diamond once jbelonged to him, according to myth. He would have traded’a wagonload of such gems for a Ford |car, one electric light or a toy .radio— the real jewels of modern times, unknown to the ancients. HYPNOTISM Ralph H. Seaman, freshman at New Hampshire College, got interested in hypnotism and tried it on his room-mate. ‘ It worked—so well, in fact, that Seaman couldn’t \bring his subject out df the hypnotic trance. Druggists and physicians finally wakened the vic- jtim from his coma. | Student Seaman says he is through with |hypnotism. : Whether you believe in the occult or not, it is a dangerous buzz-saw to monkey with. Hypnotism and psychic research have their scientific value. iLike dynamite, they are risky for amateurs, espe- cially in effects on imagination. STRENGTH An insane woman escapes from the asylum at 'Poughkeepsie, N. Y. When captured, she had walked 40 miles-in one day. \ Such spurts of energy are common among the linsane. It often requires half a dozen strong men |to over-power a maniac and get him into a padded cell. Fe aa ; Take a sane man, a weakling, who cannot lift 100 pounds. Five minutes later, if he suddenly goes crazy, he can easily lift 500. | Strength of muscle and power to accomplish are Nargely matters of confidence. Weakness is lack jof confidence, fear—all in the imagination. You jare what you think you are, no more, only occa- sionally less. + of ee 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 sides of importart issues’ :: which are being discussed in the press of the day. POETRY AND NATIONAL PRIDE It was certain that: the slighting words with which the, Saturday Review, Nation and Athen- aeum, and New Statesman reviewed contemporary American poetry, as presented by Louis Unter-| |meyer’s new. anthology, would prove a red rag.| \But even ‘allowing for the mock exaggcrtion in Mr. Untermeyer’s protest’ in the Nation, he is too icaustic. He speaks of England as worried lest we iboycott her literary wares and send our own over to compete; a statement which sounds odd when we recall how complacently England used to buy |more copies of Longfellow than of Tennyson. He pictures England jealously watching the Hudson “set ablaze’ by Hergeshemier, Hechj, Cather, Dos Passos, and others. But is the Hudson really qn fire for Ben Hecht or Dos Passos? ‘ There must-be an optical illusion somewhere. And, after all, the idea of the land of Kipling, Conrad, Galsworthy, Hardy, Wells, Shaw, and iMasefield worrying about the loss of American | esteem is decidedly quaint. It is equally quaint} of Mr. Untermeyer: to complain of the English lack of courtesy in calling Edwin Arlington Rob- inson “dull” when in the same paragraph he calls six English poets “feeble,” dealers in “faded pro- perties” and writers of “pretty inanities.”—New York Evening Post.
