The senior senator from North Dakota, returning to Washington after a short vacation seeking to improve his health, points cut that instead of prohibiting trade with Europe the ‘records show that since the Fordney-McCumber tariff bill was ena acted imports trom Europe have increased. ‘Tariff ‘revenue also | has increased at a time when more money is sorely needed Iby the government. The senator also reports his former assertion that the bill will not cause an increase in prices on | manufactured goods and that Northwest agriculture will be| aided by the tariff upon importation of certain articels raised | in other countries’ where the standard of living on the farm} is lower than in America. The hue and ery raised against: ator Beveridge, Republican candidate in Indiana and long known as a progressive, declares the bill is a good bill, espe- | ally in its provisions for permitting adjustment to be made by the President on recommendation of a board ‘of tariff | s. It has been a score of years since it was first urged nate that the tariff be taken out of politics, the prin- ciple of the pr otective tariff permanently adopted and a com- | mission named to adjust the tariff to protect Américan work- | |ers on their present standard of living. Perhaps the Fordney- McCumber bill will accomplish this and if so Senator Mc- Cumber will have this among many other accomplishments to look back upon when he ends his long career of public service in the United States Senate. COMPLAINTS ON CRIME NEWS Newspapers are filled with news, of crime. A double. i murder in New Jersey, a slaying in Montana, bank and train } rovberies—these apparently predominate in the news of the last:two weeks. There are many who complain and feel that the newspapers endeavor to print all the salacious details |; of crime in every part of the country. The newspaper is | the medium of all classes, and all classes of news are printed. ! But: it is a mistake to assume that the great majority of newspapers seek to dig out all of the waywardness of the world and heralded it to the readers. How many read the | markets and the news of the great financial centers of the world each day in The Tribune? How the pulse of the finan- cial-world is recorded and through it observant and studious pergcns may judge the course of business, the trend of con- | ditions which vitally affect North Dakota. Skilled editors fot great press associations have learned the kind of news that must be printed. It is the unusual, and even with the aouhdance of crime in America the law-breakers are in the minority and murders are infrequent. There are many who | read the crime news for sheer enjoyment, and there are deep | students who read in the crime news definite tendencies in | modern American life. A newspaper’s’ business is to print the news. It is not always pleasant to do so, but it is the business of the news- paper. LOOK! An “auto” that was used 2300 years ago in Alexandria, | Egypt, is described by Dr. James H. Breasted of University | of Chicago, Records found by Breasted show that this ancient mas chine made only two trips a year, hauling the statue of ‘a- goddess back and forth between her summer and winter temples, a mile apart. athe motive pewer was a sort of huge spring, like in a ehld 's toy auto. When released, it shot the car to its desti-| ation as if a modern speeder were driving. Not so bad for | 2300 years ago. i ~ BOOMING A shortage of 141,252 freight cars existed October ', | roports the American Railway Association. And the short- age ts growing. Nine months ago, on January 8, the railroads had a sur- plus of 646,673 idle cars. A comparison of the figures informs you more about busi- | ness conditions than you could get by reading a mile of the | average financial news. When railroads move freight on a big scale, people are buying avid selling on a big scale. That makes prosperity. WINTER The Far North is beginning to take’ back some of its | | earlier perdictions of a very severe winter. The Yukon reports it has been having the mildest autumn | for many years, though river steamers have stopped’ and the ; overland stage is making its first winter trip from Dawson | to White Horse. In accepting or rejecting weather forecasts, one has to keep i in mind that the only certain thing about the weather | | is its uncertainty, its trickiness. i ADVICE Charles M. Schwab, the steelmaker, says he doesn’t take | much stock in great geniuses, but “the hardest struggle in| the world is to be more than an-average man. Think and) do differently from the average, if you want to find success. | Learn to do some one thing better than anyone else.” i That’s all right, provided “the one thing” is a profitable | pursuit. World championship at making fire pokers out of | wax wouldn’t get anyone anywhere. } LABOR You read that labor may come into power, politically, in|° | Great Britain. If not this year, it is inevitable later. ! In 1900 the British Labor Party had a membership of only | 375,931. Steady growth has made the figure pass 4,000,000. On a population basis, this would correspond to. about 10,060,000 organized labor votes in our country. Jack will take an American queen. .

THE RIGHT TO WORK ‘Critics of the Administration’s slogan, “the right to work,” while} forced to admit its soundness, |} maintain that it should be pressed: with equal force in times of un- employment as in times cf strikes. They assert that unemployment is really a strike of capital in the face of untoward conditions and if the right to work is pressed in one ease it should be pressed in the other. At first thought this may seem good argument. But it is reasoning from analogy with fac rs that are not equal. A strike nply indi- jcates areas of dissatisfaction with- in the industrial order. Unemploy- ment is a complex beyond the pov | er either of employers or employees {to control, in which both are caught. {right to quit work when they sec fit.

A strike is designed ‘to stop production in order to win better terms of employment. In uZemployment hoth*employergs and employees wish to continue pro- duction, if possible.

Piequet walked out on the hard dge beyond and stood leaning on fle and looking sullenly at his Quintana came forward, ‘earcless , a disagreeable expression in es and on his narrow lips, and leontinued on past Picquet. The latter slouched after his leader, who had walked over to the lean-to before which a_ pile of | charred logs lay in cold ashes. As Picquet came up, Quintana turned on, him, with a gesture to- |ward the ‘extinguished fire: “It is icold like hel,” he said “Why do you | not have some fire?” “Not for: me, non,” growled Pic- quct, and jerked a dirty thumb in the. direction of the lean-to. And there Quintana saw a pair of muddy boots protruding from a blanket. | “It is Harry, Beck, yes?” he in- quired, Then something about the |hoots and the blanket ‘silenced him. | He kept his eyes on them for a full minute, then walked into the lean- The blanket also covered Ha Beck's features and there was jstain on it where it outlined the prostrate man’s features, making 2 ridge over the bony nose. After a moment Quintana looked ‘ound at Piequet: He is dead.

After a quarter of a mile the ridge broadened and split into two, one hog-back branching northeast! They) however, continued north. \About twenty minutes later Pic- quet, creeping along on Quintana’s left, and some sixty yards distane, discovered something moving in ‘the woods, beyond, and fired at it. In- stantly two unscen rifles spoke from the woods ahead, Pikequéet was jerked clear around, Jost his bal and nearly fell.

His screaming ceased; he dragged out his big ciasp-knife with his left hand and ‘started ‘running toward the shooting. a As he ran, his mangled arm flop- ping like a broken wing, Byron Hastings stépped out from behind a tree and coolly shot him down at close quarters, Then Quintana’s_ rifle twice very quickly, and the Hastings boy stumbled - sideways and — fel! sprawling. He managed to rise to his knees again; he even was trying to stand up when Quintana, taking| his time, deliberately began to empty his magazine into the boy, rviddling him limb and body and head. Down once more, he still moved Sid Hone reached out from behind a fallen log ,to grasp the dying lad’s ankle and draw him into shelter, but Quintana reloaded swiftly ands: hed\ Hone’s hand with the first shot. Then Jim Hastings, kneeling pe- hind w bunch of juniper, fired a high locity bullet into the tree be- hind which Quintana stood; but be- fore he could fire in Quintana’s the, juniper and tore a ghastly hole ‘in the calf of his left leg, striking a blow, that’ knocked you tinsg flat and paralyzed as a dead flounder.

But you’d never have believed it was she, for there was no bowl of curds and whey, and no tuffet, and much to Nancy’s relief, no spider ‘sitting “beside ’er” either. “What brought you away up here in the sky?”*asked Miss Muffet curi- ously. “Didn’t you know?” exclaimed Nancy. “Mother Goose had lost her broom, and the cobwebs are getting thicker every day. We've come to find it.” “Ugh!” exclaimed Miss Muffet. “I suppose then the spiders will be get- ting worse, too, and I’ve troubles enough as it is. But let us talk of something else. What are the fash- ions now down on the earth where you live? So few people come up here and I’m afraid I'll get old-fash- ioned and out of date. Do little girls wear pinafores still? And are poke bonnets so fashionable as they were? And what is the newest shade of yarn for working samplers? And are long curls the style?” - “Pinafores?” Nancy puckered up her brows in-a puzeled way. Then sudenly she smiled. “Oh, yes. You've got one on, haven't you?! No, little girls wear bloomers © and knickerbockers now to play in. And they don’t wear hats at all when they can help it. And they. don’t make samplers any more. haven't the patience.
