THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) A DREAM THAT MAY COME TRUE The dream of James J. Hill of a unified railroad system traversing the northwest of the western United States and linked with the middle west through another network of lines may come true, and, with poetic irony, through the instrumentality of the same government which balked the fulfillment of the dream. The Interstate Commerce Com- mission is now considering the consolidation of the railroad jlines of the country into a small number of great systems, in order to stabilize the financial position of all the railroads, climinate duplicated effort and place the railroads in a better position to serve the country. No great protest, if any, has | been voiced against the spirit of the plan. The commission’s expert, Professor William Z. Ripley of Harvard University,-in.working out a plan for the consoli- dation of Northwest lines grouped the Great Northern with the Milwaukee and the Northern Pacific with the Burlington. The Hill interests have protested, and asked that the Great Northern, the Northern Pacific and the Burlington roads be grouped, but if one must be left out, to leave out the Northern Pacific. Louis Hill told the commission how his father, after building the Great Northern and acquiring the Northern Pacific in.the early nineties, sought the connection with and ultimate control of the Burlington system, so that there should ‘be one vast system. The plan was balked by the government in the famous Northern Securities case but the favored traffic arrangements of the roads have continued. The executives of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific hold, that the “Hill roads” should be grouped ‘because the dream:of “the Empire Builder’ was founded on sound busi- ness vision. Louis Hill, the son, adds a note of sentiment in telling the commission of his father’s dream. North Dakota is affected, and ought to be deeply inter- ested, in the manner of grouping of the great systems which arejher chief arteries of commerce. The Fargo Commercial club, the only body of business men in the state to express an opinicn, opposes the grouping of the Hill lines on the grounds that competition would be lessened. Protest has! been made against the alliance with the’ Milwaukee by the Great Northern and the executives of the latter road, though not! bluntly speaking their views, hold the Milwaukee a weaker line. North Dakota is interested in the preservation of competition under the grouping made, a competition that will spur the roads to their best efforts to give service and at the cheapest possible cost. It, too, is interested if the lines traversing North Dakota are to be linked with a weaker line, forithe ultimate result probably would be a higher average | of rates for the stronger line in order to equalize the deficien- | cies'by the alliance with the weaker line. f WE NEED THE RED CROSS : . When disaster comes in any. quarter of the globe and the heart of the people is moved by syfferings of others, it is t the..Red Cross that an appeal for aid is made. ‘And unless the' appeal being made for the Red Cross in the annual roll- call starting today is heeded, the appeals to the Red Cross cannot be answered. EDITORIAL REVIEW || Comments reproduced in_this || column may or may not express || the opinion of The Tribune. They || are presented here ic order that jconstitution of the United States, the “Association Against the Pro- hibition Amendment” which is the latest “wet” organization ‘to de- yelop in this country hag at least / jtaken a course which is legally consistent. Most of the “wet” agitation of | ithe last two years has centeréd Jt- jself around propaganda for the modification of the Volstead law /so as to permit the sale of light wines and beer. . To demand a mod- | ‘ification of this sort while the pro- ‘hibition amendment is still-a part | ‘of the constituion is plainly. non- ! sonsical. As it stands at present | jthe constitution prohibits and is} intended to prohibit the sale or) manufacture of intoxicating or al- | coholic liquors. Any contention | |that wine and beer do not come un- | |der this category is plain bunk,and | {any man who has ever drunk either | |wine or beer knows it tobe such. | For the opponents of prohibition | to seek by all proper methods to j j bring about the repeal of the pro-; hibition amendment is entirely | legitimate. They have the same; right to agitate for that purpose | that the advocates of prohibition ; ad to seek to bring about the pass- | age of the amendment, but to ask | |congress to legalize the sale of | ‘wine or beer is to ask that body to | has no more right, or power to| }do than any other body~of citizens. | | There is one way, and one Way | jonly by which the traffic in wine | and beer can be made legal. That | is by the repeal oy modification of | the present constitutional provis- | iions. It can’t be done simply by net of congress.—Grand Forks Her- | jald. “PATRIOTISM” Arguments that it is the “patri- | lotic duty of every citizen” to buy | jflour made in the North’ Dakota | | mill ,are now being freely advanced | in many parts of the state,-and they | come from both leaguers. and inde- pendents. ( | But we thought the mill-was built | in order to prevent the “milling: trust” from “extorting exorbitant | profits” from the consumer. i The mill was built because it waa}! going to help the consumer and | safeguard him from “robbery.” | ‘Now we find that the consumer is being called upon to “support” the mill and is being told that it is his “patriotic duty” to keep the | mill running. ? H Any business institution that has to be supported as a “‘patriotic duty” hasn’t much justification for existence. When the ‘time comes that we have'to support the Grand Forks institution as a “patriotic duty” isn’t it about time to dispose of it and get out from under the burden? : We are already paying it | a bonus in the form of an exemp- tion from taxes. -Can’t it stand on its own feet with the aid of that bonus? Can’t it go after business as other mills do, on the ground of } better flour, or better service, or, lower prices instead of appealing to the “patriotism” of its custom-! ers?—Fargo Forum, i coi "ADVENTURE OF | || THE TWINS |. —_—_— By Olive Barton Roberts ver-ride the constitution, a thihg | , M-Jonquelle by MELvILie Daviss © 1992 NEA Setvice,. 1 THE WOMAN ON THE TERRACE BEGIN HERE TODAY...

He looked at his cigarct as though it were soniehow unsatisfac- tory; puffed it.a moment until the tip glowed; then he tossed it over the edge of the terrace into the bushes, ' Almast immediately the bushes parted ‘and two persons came up onto the™terrace.

These dis- asters caused property damage estimated at more than $30,- 000,000, and rendered more than 145,000 persons homeless or otherwise in need of assistance. In one section alone, on the Louisiana-Mississippi border, the Red Cross fed daily for weeks more than 25,000 flood sufferers. The Red Cross, too, did much in relieving individual cases of distress in western North Dakota, and in case of disaster stands ready to do all in its power. Many of us think:of the American Red Cross as a war- time organization. But its fame was world-wide before the war,-and its service will continue to be immeasurable if it receives the cooperation and support. it should receive. ' ‘| A GREATER TASK Chairman Lasker, of the shipping board, being a business man_of great ability, at time becomes impatient when polit- ical ‘considerations and governmental interference makes his task ‘difficult. He speaks his mind. He is manager of the government-owned merchant marine, and has reduced the operations of the shipping board. He is for the ship subsidy, | and believes it is a business necessity in view of the situation in the government business over which he has control. Chairman Lasker wants to go on the floor of Congress and defend the subsidy. But he has a greater task to which he ‘might employ his remarkable talents. He must first con- }ivince the country, particularly the middle west, if he would \secure a ship subsidy and make it permanent. DANGER Head-on collision of two airplanes at Honolulu sets you | wondering how dangerous it will be for people on the ground when. airplanes become as common as flivvers are now. Live 50 more years and you'll see as many airplane wrecks gu now see smash-up autos. thinking about how té™protect pedestrians. ‘But let’s start; We Americans are famous for never getting a law / until years after we need it. What do you suggest?’ Limit flying to air-lanes in the country, fliers barred above cities? e ; SMASH F The seemingly impossible does happen occasionally. For instance, you’d imagine it impossible for two airplanes to | collide head-on in day-light, considering the room they have | for dodging. But it happens in Honolulu, two army aviators killed, two “others hurt. \ : : Unusual now.

They addressed themselves apologetic diffidence to the woman in the chair. They explained that. a parrot be- longing to the Princess Kitzenzof, who occupied the great villa above, had escaped and was concealed some- where in the thick” shrubbery of madame’s garden. «Would they be permitted to search. for it? . The woman in the chair moved her ‘head slowly in assent. (Then she dis- missed. them with a gesture. They, went down off the terrace and toward the rear of the villa in their search, and the woman in the chair’ ad- | dressed the American. “You must believe,” she said, “that Monsieur Jonquelle is~an old - ac. quaintance and that this explanation is not to be denied him. Neither are you to be denied it. You came here for it precisely as- he has come for it. “ You have followed me here, trail- ing out my flight, as he has followed. The two of you arrived nearly. on the moment, and I shall be pleased to include the’ two of you in my ex- planation. You were demanding it as Monsieur Jonquelle arrived—with ‘some heat, if 1 correctly remember.” The American replied in his abrupt manner: “I don’t understand this thing,” he said. “But I do want to know how this house happened to burn while I was absent. You are the only person who had a key to it, and you must have burned it or you would not e run away and hid yourself—now, what’s tHe story?” i The woman had a bit of delicate lace in her fingers. She put it up Thén spoke, addressing her two guests. Her voice was slow, serene, and de- tached, like one who speaks without | interest, without emotion, and with- out any concern for effect. It was like a voice from a mechanical appli- ance, having intelligence, but no will io “eel, “I have been’ attached to Monsieur Dillard,” she said. “There was a fortune before us, an immense, in- credible fortune. The anticipation of it bound me to him, and so the burn- ing of this house thay have been an accident. The lure of a fortune is the only influence that does not loosen as one advances into life, in a world where presently eyery emotion fails, Therefore Monsieur Dillard supreme in what is perhaps the high- est of all jartistie production. T shall name therh to you; Monsieur Whist- ler, the American; Monsieur Hellew of Paris, and Wagenheim of Mun- ich.” 7 She moved.a trifle in the chair, Then she went on. The ortune of producing a masterpiece in oil or in water-color is that one copy of this master- piece exists, and if. by any misfor- tune it is destroyed, every adequate evidence of its beauty has disappear- ed forever, This, is the unfortunate feature attached’ to the work of all the great masters. “But it ig @: misfortune that does not attend the etchings of Monsieur | Whistler, Monsieur Helleu, and Herr Wagenheéim. The beautiful face of the lovely Americans preserved’ by ‘the etchings of Monsieur Helleu can be reproduced in any number. The heauty does not “depend upon tie jeopardy of ‘a single “picture.” Her voice“seemed to’ advance, but not with the stimulus of any emo-: tion. “Tt, ig- not commonly known,” she .satd, “that an extreme. skill is re- quired to obtain in the prints all the beauties of these etchings. The prints are commonly made by persons hav- ing only the usual workman’s skill: “But it was always realized by the masters of this art that the extreme and delicate beauties of their etch- ings could be produced only by an adequate skill, by a skill almost equal to their own, in the printing of the picture, This skill consti. tutes the peculiar genius of Monsieur DiNard—a skill which he has striven t|to perfect, and which he has finally brought. to. the -highest excellence. “He labored in: the, house in the Faubourg’ St... Germain for. a long time and with an incredible patience, until he became the superior of any man living, and the house, as I have aid, was literally packed with the most beautiful and most valuable re- productions of this charatter in the world. This accumulated treasure represented the incredible, fortune which was before Monsieur Dillard and myself. “It was onthe night that he had gone to Bordeaux in order to make some arrangement for the removal/of the treasure that the unfortunate fire | EVERETT TRUE BY CONDO | — Ss: C2 SRATTLING PAPER SACK == H?C = AND _CHAWING CANDY, === THis PLACE | &§ DEHICATE 7e THE SICENT Drama i! | occurred that wiped out our fortune jin an hour, leaving monsieur penni- (less and myself with but the ruin of another illusion. And it happened, jronelenys in ‘the simplest fashion.” There was absolute silence on the | terrate before the villa, The vaguely (blue sea seemed to underlie a world .|of amethyst. Heavy odors were in the air. A little’ beyond the terrace the leaves of a flowering vine moved | ‘where the footmen of the Princess | Kitzenzof searched as noiselessly as! |ghosts for the lost parrot. The sha- |dowy figures of the two footmen were |outlined to the woman in the chair, land perhaps to Monsieur Jonquelle, ‘but they. were not. visible to the | American. | He sat like a tense figure in some | organic medium, grim, rigid; always jin that immobility which seemed to | await the next word before it flashed Jinto violent life; as though |madame’s words were the delicate |implement of a vivisectionist mov- ing about a nerve which it never |touched, but which it constantly | menaced. | “It was the simplest accident,” the |woman repeated in her piacid voice. |“The original etchings. of an im- |mortal like one of the’three which iT have already named are priceless |—they cannot be Meplaced. | “Out of the fear that the house !might be entered, after the repro- |ductions had been made, these origi- nals were placed under some rub- bish in the basement of the house. “This basement had not been en- tered for-a long time, and when these originals, were ‘concealed there, jeare was taken not to disturb the ‘appearance which this zoom pre- {sented of not having been opened {for an incredible age. “It was low, with, an earth floor.

The | whole of this ceiling was hung with | cobwebs, laced over them, hanging like veils in shreds, } | “On the night of, disaster, be- fore leaving the house, I went into | this basement to make sure that the \originals stored there remained as |we had placed them. It was late, jand I took a candle. This was a | Zatal indiscretion. | “When“l arose from an examina- tion of the place where the etchings were concealed, the\ flame of the candle came in contact with the hanging spider-webs, and immediate- ily the whole ceiling flashed into flame.
