Trubshaw, editor of the Valley City Times-Record, declares that if Senator McCumber! wants the support of the independents of the state, he will have to muzzle the Bismarck Tri- bune. : It is just as well to clear the political atmos- phere now as later. Senator McCumber, his backers or his managers have no strings on the Bismarck -Tribune. Neither has any other poli- tical henchman or boss. The League managers nor the I. V. A. machine men have no more to say about the editorial policies of The Bismarck Tribune than has Senator McCumber and his sponsors. The Tribyne has endorsed Senator McCumber, | it is true, but it is not seeking to dictate the franchises of its readers. They know they are at liberty to’ vote:for Frazier, McHarg or any of * the opponents of McCumber if they see in these candidates the embodiment of their political con-; victions. vas It was not so long ago that the I. V. A. man- ager Theodore Nelson told Senator McCumber’s backers more directly than Mr. Trubshaw does what he would have to do to be saved politically. Some of the things he was told he would have to do were as follows: | Send Judge Andrew Miller out of the state and) allow the I. V. A. organization to arrange 2 change} of jurisdiction. | Have Gunder Olson resign as national commit- teeman and let T. Twichell and brother “Late” Twichwell and-others in the inner circles name Mr. Olson’s successor, probably B. F. Spalding. Nelson’s letter published elsewhere explains in detail all the demands. § 3 ‘Then Senator McCumber’ down on his knees, wearing sackcloth and ashes, was to beseech for-! giveness from Theodore Nelson and others for past sins of omission and commission. If Senator McCumber had done all the things the I. V. A. managers insisted, in exchange for their “support,” he would have left the state dis-| credited and should have been beaten to a frazzle| at the polls, June 28. He refused to stultify himself and buy the lip service of the henchmen who may direct the des- tinies of the I. V. A., but faqrtunately these men! cannot dictate to the great electorate of North| Dakota which just now is sizing up candidates | and taking their measure regardless of what the machine politicians of any faction tell them. The Tribune is not the organ of Senator Mc- Cumber. It is republican in its policies and be- lieves of all candidates running for the United States..senate t! , McCumber most faithfully represents the prifciples of that party. | Whether Nestos or his administration supports McCumber or not is of no significance to The' Tri-| bune., This newspaper is not a political organ of| any clique or group of bosses. Never has it -asked| favors’ f either league or I. V. A. regime and it cares not one jot or tittle whether Nestos and his hackag purport McCumber or not —that is for the politicians to sft Garde ta But one thing is certain. about the policy of| The Tribune, it commends those men who fear-! lessly stand for the abolition of state socialism.| The Tribune took this attitude during the recent session of the legislature and will consistently stand by it until the hypocrisy of the present sit-! uation has vanished. Threats of what the I. V. A. machine or the; Nestos administration will do to McCumber will have no avail. They are lukewarm on McCumber | anyway. | Mr. Trubshaw says also in his editorial: H “The action of the Bismarck paper, which. is} supposed to be the organ of Senator McCumber, | does not show that they are keeping faith with| the convention.” | The Tribune never accepted the dictum of the Jamestown convention. Its editorial policies are net formulated in political conventions. That may be the case with the Times-Record, which if true is regrettable for when a newspaper allows a group’ of politicians to dominate its policies, it has ceased to be a newspaper. . It would be refreshing in this state if the vot- ers could mop up on all the gangs, bosses and ma- chines ‘and give North Dakota a new deal. There is} certainly a crying need for a housecleaning. | Ending the compromise on state socialism would be a good start. But as The Tribune has said before, the voters| can decide for themselves June 28 whether they| want to put in more money on state owned indus-. |tism of fire. jregardless of obstacles or the objections from ‘chain. ; tries or stop the orgy now.’ The voters pay the money, let them take their choice. STARTING THE FIGHT Flourishing diplomas, the annual crop of school graduates plunges out into the world. The rest of us—sophisticated and more or less disillusioned —josh them a lot, much as seasoned veterans josh the new troops marching up for their bap- The diploma army comes in the nature of a yearly wave of re-enforcements. With all our joshing of the “commencement orator” who thinks he has the world in the hollow of his palm, | we realize that the newcomers are badly needed. They bring into the general world a wonderful stimulant—pep, enthusiasm, ambitions, deter- mination and, most valuable of all, youth. We wish the youngsters a safe and speedy voy- age to success. In charting their course, these horse-sense rules will help. FIRST: Follow the line of work you like best, others. Rising to success when one’s heart is not in his work is like trying to swim with a ball and SECOND: Remember that an individual, like an army, can lose many battles and still win the war. Do not let temporary setbacks discourage ycu. They are sent, in the wise scheme of things, to develop your potential powers, to bring out the best that is in you. Babe Ruth fanned the air thousands of times before he “got the hang of it.” THIRD: Plan far ahead. Youth can take chances. Starting “for next to nothing” where the future looks good is far better than a begin- ner’s job that pays three times as.much but has an uncertain future. FOURTH: There is no short-calls to success. As with our ancestors, success in most cases is the fruit of hard work, patience, everlasting keeping at it, and recognition that he prospers best who serves others most. Platitudes? Yes—but, truth eternal! ASKS NO SYMPATHY Walter Taylor of the La Moure Chronicle laments because Siver Serumgard of Devils Lake, candidate for Commissioner of Agriculture and Labor is blind. There have been many men of genius in’ the same. condition. Senator Gore served his state ably in the senate. Great writers have been blind and those who know Mr. Serumgard realize that he has never asked special consideration because of his blindness. He has fought to the top of his profession as a lawyer. The career of the late Mr. Dowling of Minnesota who suffered a greater handicap than Mr. Serum- gard is analogous. Dowling became speaker of the Minnesota house of, representatives,’ head of the state bankers’ association and much talked of for governor before he died. Minnesota has a blind congressman who has made his personality felt at Washington. Mr. Taylor will probably learn before the cam- paign is over that Mr. Serumgard is not so blind that he cannot see through the hypocrisy and the futility of the League and the Jamestown pro- grams of continued state socialism and high taxes. If elected he will give this state one of the best administrations the office of the Commissioner cf Agriculture and Labor has ever had. An orator of no mean ability, he is-also learned in the law, an accomplishment which is needed since this official serves on more important boards where legal training is necessary than any other state official. When Siver Serumgard utilizes his powers of oratory in defense of the campaign against the state industrial program regardless of whose aus- pices it is administered under, the eyes of many will be opened who now are unable to sense the, similarity of the League and I. V. A. programs. The La Moure Chronicle can hardly alienate support from Mr. Serumgard by harping on an infirmity which has been so valiantly and so ef- fectively overcome.. Neither can it honestly at- tack the man who has a record of long service in this state which any man possessed of all his fac- ulties might well be proud of. THE PRICE OF FUSION The Independent Review has not made clear what Republican candidates are supposed to let Democrats beat them in November. Let’s see: Republican candidates for Auditor, Insurance| Commissioner and Railroad Commissioners are supposed to efface themselves next November and let Democrats beat them. Such is the demand of the FE. V. A. fusionists. It is also intimated that the Democrats have insisted on Frazier’s nomination and his defeat in the fall by a Democrat, O’Connor and the as- cension of Sveinbjorn Johnson to the supreme court. Theodore Nelson has taken on a heavy contract. But in the words of Richelieu: “in the bright lexicon of youth there is no such word} as fail.” AUTHORS MIXED The Fargo correspondent of the Tribune in a special last Saturday made Rex Beach the author of the “Sky Pilot.” The error escaped the lynx} eyed proof reader of The Tribune. Ralph Connor, the charming Presbyterian clergyyman of Winni- \ (peg, whom the writer has had the pleasure of | meeting, belongs to a different school than Rex Beach.

First he put in some horse-hairs and a few oat.grains, then he put in a shiny buckle and bit of a new strap. These he moistened with water and stirred thoroughly. Next he wrote an invitation and stirred it in, then he dropped ina bit of candle and a snip of birthday cake, After a while it boiled so hard that a thick steam arose. This Wink caught in a poppy-leaf bag and tied it up tight. “Tee, hee, hee!” he giggled, hold- ing it up proudly to his next-door neighbor, called Blink. “Here’s. a fine dream for Tommy Brown. He’s going to dream tonight he’s going to get a pony for his birthday.” _ “I never make dreams that are too disappointing when they wake up,” declared Blink. “Tommy will have a bad time when he finds it isn’t true.” “Oh, ho, ho, ho!” laughed Wink. “But this is going to come true.

I'll have to see about his dream for Tom Jones.” So he ran to the edge of the moon and straddled the shooting-star he} used for a horse and scooted off to Eena Meena, the Magician, who cook- ed. up bad dreams. “See here!” he called. “I’ve a job! for you! Cook me up a dream about a@ growly bear at once.” (To Be Continued) (Copyright, 1922, NEA Service) CS With the Movies % | = i CAPITOL, Rich in the atmosphere of the the ater, revealing glimpses of life back of the footlights and in the wings. where romance abounds, “At the Stage!

Mr. MacNider, as na- of the American Legion, adroitly shifted the honor to the heads of a million soldiers, He said that he eould receive the y fecoration only as a tribute to all Legjonnaires—and when:the medal ar- tives it will be: deposited in the ar- “hives of the Legion. When he received the notification _ of the award, he cabled Marshal Foch: “In the name, of 5,000,000 service men and women’ ‘represented by the American Legion, we extend through you to the President of the French re- public our gratitude over the tribute proffered. Realizing that this is not awarded to me personally we accept it for every man and woman of our organization and in extending our deep thanks pledge to France our continued love and devotion.” Mr. MacNider was made a chevalier of the Legion of Honor on the battle- Geld in 1918, AERIAL POLO IS NEW SPORT Airplane-Toy Balloon “Gamé One of Features at Recent Legion Enter. tainment In Florida, | Aerial polo {s the latest sport.
