His name? Richard W. Sears. kept his eyes open for opportunities. Finally one came. ; A shipment of watches arrived and was refused by, the local dealer to whom they were consigned. Dick wrote the s and arranged to sell the time-pieces, omers he wrote railroad friends up and down the : jis letters he did not offer something for nothing, golden promises. Instead, he said. he thad good 3 which he would sell at a very small margin of profit. bing them he went into elaborate details, which was best thing to putting the watches before the eyes prospective buyer. “h deal proved so. successful that young Sears quit nilrozd job and went into the mail order business. All this was in 1884. (i Isn’t it inspiring, to consider an-accomplsihment of such size? Here was a young fellow, marooned in a small village, so dull that only two trains a day went through. It was about the last place on earth that most-of us would look for a higsopportunity. . And, after thinking it over, it will be realized that Sears did not find his opportunity, he created it. Opportunity is in the individual. Geographical location has very little to do with it. i 2And what Sears did, starting-in his dusty telegraph office, can be duplicated today by other young men, provided they have vision and “the real stuff” in them. HEREDITY :War babies in England, now starting kindergarten and the first grade, lack the power to concentrated. Many of them are “bundles of nerves.” Miss A. K. William, London teacher, says the trouble with most of these war babies is that they were born when Lento nerves were racked-by horrors of. war, especially alr ralds. In many ways this generation has handed the next a: terrible legacy: ‘Curses and’ few kind words will be applied ; to us by the future.’ As generations go, ours is the worst failure in many centuries. ‘ FROZEN . Refreshing to turn from the headache news and find an interesting item like this: ‘ ,,In Grasshopper Glacier, Yellowstone Park, scientists find millions of insects frozen deeply in the ice, perfectly pre- seryed. They belong to no known species. Except for the finding of mastodons in the Ice Cape gf northern Siberia, this.is the only case of the flesh of prehistoric creatures being preserved into our time. The mastodons were refrig- erated in such excellent condition that the natives ate.them. a THERM “In England, consumers now pay for gas by the “therm,” a unit of heat value, instead of by cubic feet. When this “reform” was agitated, it sounded logical to the public, espe-| cially as protection against having air mains. Alas, the cry goes up that bills are higher by the therm system than the old way. That seems to be the way. with most “reforms.” In solving one problem we wsually create a bigger one—or a whole flock of new ones. © SLANG Scaahe : The seasbn at Atlantic City has yielded several gems of slang: “Undertow” is bootleg gin. “Shark bait” is cabaret hooch. “Go-getter” is a seaplane that connect shore with the three-mile limit. “Beach-comber” is the fellow who strikes up an acquaintance with a “weak-fish,” girl flirt. = The English language takes a lot of punishment, but no one can claim that slang isn’t expressive. It is shorthand = PETS - The average tity dweller is not a lover of pets, says Frank D. Hutchins, secretary of the Pet Dealers’ Association. pumped into the He finds foreign-born, citizens “very fond of pets,” espe- | cially Germans, Irish, Scotch and Ftalians.. . = The leading demand in the pet business now is for pig- eons, which are selling at $5 to $150 apiece in New York. It is all very fine to be kind to animals. But a-good deal of affection is wasted on pets that should go to humans. GIANT = The body of a prehistoric man, 10 feet tall, is dug up on Tiburon Island, in the Gulf of California, according to the Mexican government. i _ Was he only of normal height in his day, or was he a circus freak? No one will ever know. For some mysterious reason, nature draws a veil over the past, the past vanish-| ing as the future unfolds, like to two horizons to a traveler. MOONSHINE Nine-year-old Sevrino Cabral’s mother gave him a small dose of moonshine liquor as medicine. He liked the taste, found the bottle and drank a half pint. Two doctors and four nurses tried to save him, but he died. A grown-up has more resistance. But moonshine, taken steadily, gets him eventually, though it kills by inches in- stead of at one blow. The American branch of the Russian Reds is not the olive branch. “Wholesale Prices Hold Level”—headline. How come, when some were never on the level? THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE EDITORIAL REVIEW SS { | Comments reproduced in this column may or may not express the opinion of The Tribune, They are presented here ir order that our readers may have both sides of important ‘issues which are being discussed In the press of the day, i | | PARTIES AND PROHIBITION | The Christian Science Monitor) {has more than once pointed out ; that prohibition in the United! | States hag not been a matter of! | digtinctly party politics. ‘The na-/ tional Prohibition Party still ex-| jsts in name, but it serves only. as a means for keeping the: agitation | alive, and never cast enough votes | to give‘its candidates even a dim; ‘vision of success. State. prohibi-| | tion had its origin in Republican | | Maine, ‘and was promptly extend- | led to the Republican states in the | middle west, like Iowa and Kan- | )sas. But it spread even more rap-| idly throughout the Democratic | south, where the enforcement of) state prohibition has for two de-| cades been most effective. As all} but two states’ of the Union have} ratified constitutional, prohibition, | iit fs obvious that on that issue neither party can claim a monop- | oly of right action. Nevertheless there seems at the| | present moment to be some likli- hood that prohibition may become involved in party polities, While | this is unfortunate for that move-| ment, since no great moral issue | should be, or can be monopolized | | by one or the other political, party, lit will.be even more, unfortunate \éor the party which goes wrong, on | the subject., Perhaps, indeed, the; apparent jdentification of the, anti- | prohibition moyement with, one | party is more a, sectio, jatter \than a. true alignme; , of parties. | ‘It affords something ‘of an illustra- | tion of that tendency’ to, break up | into sectional alignments, which | Prof. Frederick Jackson ‘Turner | discusses so suggestively' in the! | last number of :The‘Yale Revigw. | i | For we findaowithin a very xt ‘weeks’ time the Democratic:.statert ; | conventions in New. York, New) | Jersey, Connecticut and, Massachu- | setts declaring openly for the overthrow of constitutional prohi- |» | bition by the restoration ‘of the] . ‘unlimited sale of beer and wine, The New Jersey Democrats went | further, and nominated for Sen- {ator a man whose only ‘national jprominence is derived from ‘his|’ | bitter antagonism to prohibition in lany form. In the other’states the candidates upon the Democratic | ticket. must be judged by their ac- ' ceptance of this plank in the plat- form, which in no instance was in- »serted except after full and vigor- ous discussion. |, It is difficult, in’ view: of these |facts, to avoid the conclusion that ,S0 far as the Democratic Party of | the north, or at any rate of most | states of the northeastern section jot the United States is concerned, it hag allied itself frankly with the saloon power. The success of its {candidates for high state office meang that their influence, will, be directed toward such an. amend- ment of the state enforcement laws ‘as shall enable. those who wish to sell alcohol to do.so. Their candidates for the Senate and far the House, unless they shall open- ly repudiate the action of the con- ventions, may be expected aS a matter. of duty, prescribed by their party organization, /to do all they can in Washington for the over- ‘throw of the prohibition law. That these facts are so clearly | brought out by'the action of these ; Democratic -conventions is in a way fortunate. The party organi- \zation and party candidates have |a- perfect right to declare them- \gelves hostile to this great moral jreform, effected in the United | States after three-quarters of a century of agitation, if they so de- ‘sire. The people who are opposed |to the return of the saloon to poli- tical power and tothe re-establish- ment-of its blight upon the homes. and the fortunes of men, have also a perfect right. to. gee that na,one advocating its restoration shall be | lected to any position of.honor,pr iof influence, “4 7 8 But, as already ‘pointed out; this ig an unfortunate, situation for the national party’ which, because of the action of a coniparatively few of its members, has been put in the position of upholding the Move- ment of the-brewers-and the -dis- tillers. for ‘return. to’ power. The Democratio Party of the sonthand | West hag still kept itgelf@ing.the ;main untarnished by this corrupt alliance. In California, for ex- ample, ‘the ‘Democratic candidate for United’ States Senator is‘ an |active, avowed, outspoken’ advocate {of prohibition in: its constitutional form. His Republican 6pponent is politically allied with the liquor | power. /In’ Nebraska the Demo cratic candidate for Senator, Mr. | Hitchcock, is frankly..a wet; a | Democratic candidate for. Gover- j nor, however, is no less actively a prohibitionist. Situations such as these’ only tend to’ make more difficult any effort to‘ align the ‘parties nationally on this issue. | That. alignment, however, will come when the next national con- ventions of ‘the two great parties are held, In the meantime it is not surprising to read from the | pens of practiced: political observ- jers the report that the Democrats | of the west and south are getting jextremely restive because of the jpparent determination of \their, \ party associates in the northeast- ern states to force upon their par- \ty of antagonism to the prohibition ‘amendment and of alliance with| the corrupt and in many cases \criminal forces that are attempj- jing its overthrow.—Christian Sci- jence Monitor. - { SERA oe | LINGERING COUGH RELIEVED “Had a,bad cotgh for three years,” | | writes H.

Facing him in the mioon- light, an automatic in his hand; on his lips, was is MIKE CLINCH; ‘who would stop’ at nothing. ue The Flaming -Jewel wes first stolen from the countess by QUINTANA, the great international thief, and then from’ Quintana ‘by camp in the Adirondacks, where he lived with his beautiful step- daughter, EVE STRAYER. Darragh, working at Clinch’s under the name of HAL SMITH, learnéd that Quin- tana’s gang had arrived to steal the gem from Clinch.’ His plans were upset when he was recog- nized as a former officer with the American troops in Russia. Clinch immediately forced him at ‘the point of an automatic into /the woods. They stopped by the side of a bottomless swamp-hole.

His lips were crack- ling dry; he moistened them, “Sink holes don’t. talk,” said Clinch. “G’wan and square your- self, if you’re the church kind.” “Clinch,” said Smith unsteadily, “if you kill me now you're as good as dead yourself, Quintana is here.” j “Say, don’t hand me that,” re- torted Clinch. yourself or -no? H “I tell you Quintana’s gang were at the dance tonight—Picquet, Sal- zar, Georgiades, ‘Sard, Beck, Jose Sanchez—the one. who looks like a |French priest.
