VANDERLIP’S LOOSE TALK Frank A. Vanderlip formerly was President of the largest bank in the United States. He is a well known public spirited citizen and refidered great service in the treasury department during the war. But Mr. Vanderlip presented a sorry spectacle on the witness stand before the oil inquiry committee in Washington yesterday. It is unfortunate that any man should use the tales of gossips to slander a living man, but it is inexcusable that such meager rumors as Mr. Vanderlip relied on should be spread to the injury of the good name of a man who is dead. The very fact that two men who were unknown to Mr. Vanderlip purchased The Marion Star jis in itself no evidence of wrong. The explanation given by the purchasers that they planned to syndicate articles by Mr, Harding at great profit after he had retired from the Presidency lends support to the belief that the purchasers saw a good business proposi- tion and leaped for it. Marion is a city of 40,000 population and is growing rapidly. Roy D. Moore, one of the pur- chasers, knew Mr. Harding for many years and sold the Marion Star the service of syndicates he represented. He later managed an important paper in New Hampshire. He was in North Dakota a short time and told friends he would not stay because his political beliefs did not coincide with those of the Courier-News, on which he was employed. The startling disclosures of the oil investigation hay> led to the belief that “anything may happen” but unless Mr. Vanderlip or another person can produce something more tangible than base rumors, the sale.of President Harding’s paper is not a matter for public discussion. BEGIN ON NON-ESSENTIALS The school board members in Jamestown adopted a drastic program for cutting the expenses of schools in the state. There is a belief upon the part of many citizens and educators that the schgols have swerved away from the fundamentals into fields of instruction which do not help to ‘id the solid foundation needed for the student of the ele- and high schools. ever, aiy attempt to slash from the school system i uction or to lower the standard required of ill, and should, meet with serious opposition. e for North Dakota to begin tax reduction is in the non-essentials—the mill and elevator and bank program, expenditure of state money by many departments in volum- inous reports which are but 'poiitical propaganda, excessive personnel and similar luxuries. wart there is to be sacrifice, let it be politics and not the children. NEXT WAR Inventors continue busily in their laboratories, making deadlier and deadlier war devices. Many of the leading weapons of the World War already are as old-fashioned and obsolete as the blunderbuss, accord- ing to revelations at a military banquet in New York. For instance, our government has perfected a bomh weighing 4000 pounds, to be carried by airplanes. This is 10 times as big as the largest bomb used in the World War. It | contains a ton of high explosives and makes a crater in the | ground 57 feet deep and 150 feet across. Another American invention is an armored caterpillar tractor with a speed of 30 miles an hour. It goes up a 45- degree slope easily, and can travel through water up to the driver’s chin. The famous “French 75” gun is eclipsed by a new Amer- ican gun of the same caliber, but twice the range or shooting distance. * So goes the list of destroyers. Poison gases have been perfected since the Armistice, many times more deadly than three times as far as the Browning gun. So goes the listof destroyers.” Poison gases have been perfected since the Armistice, many time smore deadly than the worst gases used during the World War. Ss be The people of the world should give serious thought to = the fact. that, while one faction of our leaders works to pre- vent another big war, another faction is toiling night-and- day to perfect more deadly devices of warfare. 3 The “next war’ —if there is one—will be frightful beyond ~ imagination, far worse than the World War.

They are pysented here in order that our readers may have both sides of important issues which are being discussed in the press ef the day, EMERGENCY, There should be some good come from the meeting of members of school boards, five of the heaviest tax paying school districts of the state, held at James- ' town for the purpose of formulating a general policy whereby the tax burden or levy for school expenses could be reduced to a point within the ability of the tax payers to pay, without seriously impairing school efficiency. The problems of the boards of edu- cation are serious but must be met courageously as there are now many boards spending more than their lev- ies. Reduction of a possible ten per cent in teachers salaries still up to war time levels, and elimination of certain courses, such as manual training, domestic economy, com- mercial work and laboratory sciences have been suggested. This is a defin- ite step towards lower taxes. If Minnesota co-operates with North Dakota in this policy the result will be better obtained. The convention of school board members opposed the so called Gun- derson tax limitation measures, a measure that was drawn up by the North Dakota Tax Payers assocjation, in the present emergency to force hool expenses, or at least to check- ing further increase at a time whe so large a number of tax payers are unable to pay their taxes, desire they give every; possible lux of equipment and choice of course to the children in the public schools, the alarming list of delinquent taxes in every county in this state, proves we cannot at this time gompete in school expenditures with older, rich- er communities.—Jamestown Alert.

Creditors Would Bucharest, Rumania, Feb. 16.—Pro- gress is being made in the matter of funding the trade debts contracted in foreign currencies by Rumanian. im- porters during the three years im- mediately following the war. . Agree- ments were reached in 1923 with for refunding operations to extend over periods ranging from 20 to 26 years. Italian interests also are seeking a method of adjustment but | Belgian, Czech and Dutch creditors appear to be taking no concerted action. Nothing, however, has apparently yet been done to bring American creditors as a body into touch with the so-called “Commission for Reg- ‘ulating the Payment of Foreign Com- mercial Indebtedness Contracted in ‘Strong’ Currencies,” which makes its headquarters at the National Bank of Rumania, and of which Mr. Oromulu, thes governor of the Na- tional Bank, is chairman, Many American exporters are ‘known to have substantial clainis outstanding against Rumanian merchants, and at- tempts have been made by’ several of them to have recourse to the courts for settlement. But a form of moratorium law still is in effect here, preventing court action by foreign commercial creditors against their Rumanian debtors. Rumanians apparently feel that, if they are to save many oftheir most important commercial houses from bankruptcy, they must be accorded legal protection in the settlement of their foreign debts. They have an- nounced that they are quite ready to discuss terms of settlement with the creditors of any country if they, the creditors, will get together and ap- point representatives with pewer to act, either independently or fiththe cooperation of their diplomatic rep- resentatives in Bucharest. The foregoing has ‘nothing to Yo with the foreign indebtedness of the government; only private merchants are concerned. {_ATHOUGHT | ~ It is good for a:man that he bear the yoke in his youth:—Lam. 3:27. | 20 years are the longest half of your your life.—Southey.

W. N. Bates, 84, of Pekin, claim the distinctiva of being the oldest active printers in the United States. Both are hand compositors and both are at work lover their cases every work day in |the week, Mrs. Hodge in the offices of the Tiskilwa Chief, a weekly news- paper, and Col. Bates in his ‘own | print ‘shop in Pekin. | Mrs. Hodge has been connected |with newspaper work ever since her |’teens when she worked in the office of the Bureau County Republic where she learned to set. type by, hand. Later she went to Chicago, and when President Lincoln was as- sasinated she helped “hand pike” the story of the event for a Chicago morning newspaper. Since that time Mrs. Hodge has worked in the South and in several parts of the Middle West. She was married in 1868, but returned to hér | trade when her husband died in 1888. Mrs. Hodge is remarkably active for her age. She is a student of physical culture and is a busy reader, kee; ing jwell informed on current questions. |, Col. Bates learned the printing trade in La Fayette, Indiana, at the age of 13 working on a morning pa- per and setting the type by the light of tallow candles. He still has the stick in which he set his first type. In those days there was not a isharp division between the work of the editorial staff and the composing staff, and the same men that wrote the newspaper often set it up, print- ed it and delivered it. Mr. Bates has done considerable reporting in con- nection with his work on various newspapers, After working on sev- eral papers in Chicago and down- state Mr. Bates enlisted in 1861 and fought through the Civil War. At thé end of the war he returned to Pekin where he established his own shop in 1870. Mr. Bates is commander of the lo- cal post of the Grand Army of the Republic, which he organized, ana is considered an authority on local his- tory. Chinese Girl Can Choose Husband | Peking, Feb. 16—Miss Chaing Chin- jyin, an 18-year-old high school girl who recently disputed the right ac- knowledged through thousands of generations of a parent to give his daughter’s hand in marriage without her consent, hag scored a noteworthy triumph. Not only has she converted her father and mother to her modern viewpoint, but her elder brother as well has renounced his right to a voice in the selection of his sister's life partner. Miss Chiang made known her de- termination to defy parental author- ity by inserting an advertisement in various Chinese newspapers notifying everybody interestéd that she refused to recognize a bethrothal agreement made by her elders with the father of young Hsiung Pao-chi. The par- ents have now resorted to the same means of ackowledging their. acquies- cence in the girl's rebellion and agree- to cancellation of the contract. The incident has aroused great in- terest among young Chinese idens who are becoming rapidly modeYnized, The conservative older generation, however, thoroughly condemns the in- novation as incompatible with the teaching of Confucious, and a threat to the ages-old authority of parents which must not be countenanced.

Sure- ly, these little side steps should have been paid for by this time. I ‘have been married to Leslie nearly two years and things seem to be getting worse and worse. Of course, a gréat deal of it is because of my ungovern- able temper. All my life 1 have.been used to dealing with people with high hand.

But whatever it might be that started the friendship, it has grown by leaps and bounds.
