There are many attractions to be had under such a plan that otherwise would be lost to a city. Bismarck is | large enough to support a modest course of the best talent and the Commynjty Council should have the united support of the izens this fall when it begins the sale of course tickets. Philadelphia maintains some of the best talent in a most efficient forum, bringing all lines to the city. The educa- tional value of these Lyceums has been so well demonstrated in a hundred American cities that there is no doubt of the advantage to a community of such an endeavor. | In St. Paul and Brooklyn the same function is performed | under the name of an institute. While quite elaborate in | organization, these institutes bring entertainment of a cul- | tural value which could not be fathered under any other auspices. | : Bismarck has a fine community auditorium which is | dark practically every night, while the expense of interest | and overhead proceeds without any real return to the tax-- payers and residents generally. A Lyceum course would bring the building into an enlarged community use. Surely under some definite program of public recreation the Audi- torium could be made of greater use to the amusement and general edification of the community. ! The Community Council has taken the right step, but it | should proceed carefully in the selection of talent to the end | that an enthusiastic and constant clientele will respond. All | amusements must be high grade creating demand in the! public which organized effort cannot stimulate for long. | Let the Lyceum Course plan be enlarged taking into ac- | count an intensive plan for the use of the Auditorium as a | great recreational center for the people of Bismarck at prices | within the reach of all. | The Association of Commerce can do well in cooperating with the Community Council in aiding this venture. i 3 i GETTING INTO ACTION With the arrival of Secretary Brady, the Association of Commerce is getting under way. The first few months have | been taken up with organization matters and the selection of a permanent secretary. But the record of accomplishment to date has not been insignificant. Through the efforts of the Association, the Burleigh County Holstein Circuit has been encouraged and | assisted. Plans are well under way for the establishment of a registration bureau for charitable work. The Association is also conferring with the City Com- |} mission on the settlement of the water works controversy. | Legislative committees have been at work looking out for matters of interest to the Capital City. j Plans are under way now to bring the enlarged member- | ship into active committee work on the program as outlined | by the American City Bureau. Federal matters are being taken care of and financed | through special contributions aside from Association funds, | so that in a quiet and efficient manner things are being done | to build a greater city here and one that will respond to the | needs of community welfare. | ELECTRICAL | Rapidly we move into the Electrical Age. Already we are converting about 40 million tons of coal a year into elec- tricity. From water power, “white coal,” we get terrific | electric energy. At least five billion dollars is invested in’ yielded, 97 per cent of this coming | the electrical industry. | __A big accomplishment. But 14 years from now our coun- | try will be generating four times as much electricity as at! present, predicts Guy E. Tripp. He’s an authority, one of the head men of Westinghouse. 3 | HONK! \ If traffic rules have become a pest-in your life, give! thought to Tokio, Japan, where Traffic Rule No. 2, for street car motormen, runs as follows (translated into English) : | “When a passenger of the foot heaves in sight, tootle the | horn trumpet to him melodiously at first. If he still obstacles | your passage, tootle with angry vigor and express by words of mouth the warning: ‘Hi! Hi!” | -. Time was. when we also, like the suave Japanese, were: courteous in untangling traffic. Now the nervous, fretful | attitude among pedestrians and motorists seems to be: | “Bverybody’s out of step but me.” j i HOME-BREW A hundred home-brewers send samples of their cellar’ h, for. analysis, to W. G. Brown, prohibition commis- ner in West Va. Brown reports that most of the samples | “absolutely dangerous for human consumption.” Many sf them contained the deadly bacillus botulinus, which causes batulism poisoning, more deadly than ptomaine. For the stomach’s sake, remember that the keg in which | made hooch ferments is really a garbage can. The; tents undergo the various stages of decomposition, decay | -putrefaction.

They are presented here in order that our readers may have both sides of important issues which are belug discussed in the press of the day, DR, BUTLER’: It Ss GLOOMY VIEW imistic outlook the cholas Murray B ler, president of Columbia Univer- sity, es of the future of the jighteenth Amendment, It can be enforced, “no matter at what expenditure of money or of rt,” he said at Columbus, Ohio, is a Pp st week in an addres to the Ohio state bar association. He may be right about it. It is Dp ble that the duly qualified representatives of the people in the requisite number of states to establish constitutional amend- ment, put an impossible law into jour fundamental charter of lib- erty. If so, it is a serious reftec tion upon the stability of our re- publican institutions. Nor js it the first time such a thing hag occur- red. As Dr, Butler said, the = teenth Amendment to the Constitn- tion is utterly nullified in severai states where the colored race is absolutely barred from the poli- tical rights with which that amend- ment invested them. That nullifi is sectional, however, and confined to a small proportion of the states, while the prohibition amendment is flouted in all of them.

In that fact lies the hope of men who would abolish liquor. Chicago Journal of Commerce. POWER FOR WIVES The thirty Hollywood husbands, arrested for gambling, sentenced to thirty days in jail and then pa- wive in a sad plight. The judge made it clear that if the wives of any of them complain that they are again taking liberties with the law the men complained of will have to go to jail. That means that every one of those men will be in danger until the statute of limitations or some- thing of the sort wipes those sus- pended sentences off the slate. If one of those hubbies wants to treat himself to one of the regular monthly tamily rows which keep the atmosphere cleared in so many of the best regulated homes he is going to think twice before doing it, suddenly recalling that his wife saw him rolling for the smokes If he wants ome seeming bit of feminine ex! aganee it wlil pay him to pa and reflect that friend spouse was not only pres- ent, but a sad eyeitnéss the other evening when he dropped nine- teen bucks playing bridge. Probably the wives of all those men were either present at the card party at which they were ar- rested or were back home polish- ing up their lucky charms and hubby would bring home dividends, but what of that? Don’t the divorce courts show us every day how easily husbands and wives can forget past collu- sions wh they once get bitter at each other? It is clear that there is only one way for those thirty Hollywood to be safe. And that way, drastic and revolutionary as it may seem, is to really reform,—Los Angeles Times. ALASKA'S PROGRE For a land that is, according to the anti-conservationists, locked up and the key thrown into th Bering sea, Alaska is doing very “has to roar about well. It took $18,000,000 worth of minerals from its mines during 1922. This makes a total of $500,- 000,000 the mines of Alaska have from deposits of gold, silver and copper. So far, as everyone admits, face of the territory is scarcely ratched; unknown resources still are hidden there; and many of them will be enriching civilization long after the present prosperous generation has disappeared. The chief Alaskan geologist of the United States geological sur- vey—a wonderful organization of which the public is all to slightly familiar—admits that the metal in- su , dustry has been handicapped. by | the lack of fuel, but adds that the coal mining done during the year | has supplied the most urgent need | for cheaper fuel along the Alaskan railroad. The chief need of Alaska is. not to throw open its resources to the Ploiting rapacity of atfew, but to implify the abundant red-tape tions of the many individual set- tlers who wish to live and thrive and devlop a sound American com- | monwealth in that fine territory.— Detroit News.

Want to walk a piece down the road’ with me, Medaine?” Then they faded through the door- way, and Barry could hear no more. But he found himself wondering about the girl and her interest in Fred Thayer, and whether she, too, might be a part of the machinery which he felt had been set up against him; ahout the big, grinning Ba'tiste who now was fumbling about with the bedclothes at the foot of: the bed and— “Oouch! Don’t—don’t ‘do that!” Barry suddenly had ceased his thought to jerk his feet. far up under the covers, laughing and chok- ing and striving to talk at the same’ time. At the foot of the bed, Ba’tiste, his ‘eyes twinkling more than ever, had calmly rolled back the covering jd tickled sthe injured man’s feet. ‘Ho, ho!” and Ba’tiste turned to talk to the shaggy dog at his side. ‘Lrenfant feels it!
