A most inconsistent situation arose following the Fall expose. While Denby retained a seat in the Cabinet, Coolidge was proceeding to annul the oil leases which Denby had openly defended. Whether the leases per se were for the best interests of the nation is a matter of great doubt, but as they will be considered upon their merits in court action in the near future the final judgment of the people can await the out- come of the proposed legal steps which President Coolidge has promised will be pushed vigorously for the protection of the public domain. Denby at the worst probably has }een a good natured and gullible official allowing his confidence in Fall to warp his better judgment. He served valiantly as a soldier of the Republic and in many instances has given excellent service. Fair play for which the American public is noted should give him his day in court. The resignation is a public acknowledgement that his tenure in office longer would injure the confidence of the American people in the Coolidge administration. A great stride toward getting to the bottom of the sorry mess has been made. The housecleaning should be thorough regardless of the officials involved. No one should be spared neither should any innocent man suffer through ill advised action. PRIVATE MAGIC ae Some remarkable mechanisms were invented by the alchemists centuries ago. Albertus Magnus, after 30 years’ work, made a brass man that talked. An old man listened to the babble of the bra smashed it to bits with his staff. So perished the first prono- graph. Pa ista Porta, delving in Black Art, apparently discover- ed the ots of artificial refrigeration, for ‘on a summer’s day. when all complained of the heat, he would freeze his gee tc with cold air in the room.” Two tremendously important inventions — and all went to waste. You admire the elaborately equipped motorcar with kitchen and beds, in which people take long gypsy tours. The forerunner, long ago, was the coach of famous Sir Samuel Moreland. It “carried a traveling kitchen, for it had % fireplace and grate, with which he could make soup, broil cutlets and roast an egg, and he dressed his meat by clock- work.” The earl’s home was fitted with similar mechanical comforts. At about the same time, at the Academic des Sciences, in Paris, a fat and gouty inventor would bid adieu to a visitor and point to his legs to show the impossibility of conducting him downstairs to the door. Yet the astonished visitor. related Isaac Disraeli, never failed finding the inventor wait- ing for him outside with a broad grin. __ This inventor apparently had the first elevator. joyed it mightily, but kept the secret to himself. He en- That was the way with nearly all wonderful discoveries of the brilliant period in history dominated by the alche- mists. They considered their discoveries as exhibitions of private magic, satisfying their vanity. It rarely occurred to them to put their discoveries into the hands of the people for making life’s burdens easier. The desire to help humanity was a rare phenomenon in ancient times, and even up until about a century ago. 250,000 BOOTLEGGERS “There are 250,000 bootleggers in America and they are all doing well. 1 should say the government is losing two billion dollars a year in duty that it might have if it dis- tributed malt and other liquors.”—Spencer Penrose, Colorado capitalist. Penrose unquestionably is correct in both figures. If prohibition had been attempted by a government tax of $5 or $10 a quart, Uncle Sam would have in his treasury the billions that have been cleaned up by bootleggers. Some -would rather be without the billions than have Sam in the saloon business, of which he was the silent partner, collect- ing revenue, for generations. CONTAGIOUS Lot of fuss about a New Jersey man, a “typhoid carrier” who, according to doctors, caused nine deaths and 107 cases of the disease. A “typhoid carrier” is a person who has the: disease and can spread it to others without noticing any ill- ness himself. People have an instinctive dread of anyone with a con- tagious disease. It’d be easy to stir up a riot about this fellow in New Jersey. ease than all human beings combined. MOTHERS Permanent peace can come only by a banding together of mothers, who furnish the cannon-fodder, orates Mrs. Felix Levy of Chicago. She’s on the right track. But the remedy is not in any special organization of mothers. What they should do is stop giving their children toys that sug- gest war, and teach them to hate war as a system of whole- sale murder whose “glory” is propaganda bunk of the mili- tarists. Schools, glorifying war, also perpetuate war. “Men leave college too early,” says a professor. right.

Under the provisions of this pro- posed constitutional amendment, which passed the last legislative assembly, the offices of County Judge and Clerk of Court in coun- le: than 6000 would be o that one county of- ficer, instead of two, would attend to the duties of the two offices. Jt would mean one less salaried county officer in this county. There is no question but that the duties of these offices, in counties having a population of less than 6000, can be easily and efficiently handled by one officer. One man could attend to all the work in both offices and still have Idts of idle time on his hands. While the saving effected is not large, it is certainly a step in the right direction. It puts it squarely up to the voters of the state to show by their votes whether they wish the cost of local government decreased or maintained at the present high rate-—Ft.

AND FARM CREDIT : | The Fedje Farm Labor Lien Bill, as The Forum has pointed out ‘be- fore, would destroy the crop, the | great liquid asset of the farmer, as a oredit asset in North Dakota. \ ‘Those who are favorable to its passage while practically admit- ting that such is the case never- theless contend that the cutting off | of this credit, in their opinion, | {would be of benefit to the farmer. The Forum admits that a farm- er, just like a businessman, can overdue his credit, and that the farmer thas sometimes done that very thing. When a farmer or a | businessman borrows too extens- ively he jeopardizes his business. But sound credits have meant} much in the development of busi- ness and farming. The businessman, though for the moment he may not have need to borrow a dollar, recognizes the ne- cessity of maintaining a credit source where money be ob- tained easily and qu That is good busines: And just as it is good business for the businessman, it is likewise good business for the farmer to maintain his source of credit. The one quick and sure source of credit today for the farmer is his crop. It may be that he is ia such shape that he does not need to use it. If so, well and good. But he knows that if he does want to use it, that it’s available. If the Fedje Labor Lien Bill be- comes a law in North Dakota, how- ever, that source of credit is de- stroyed. The man who has money to loan wants good security. He is not going to loan money on poor security. The whole question simply resolves itself to this: If the farmer wants ito place himself absolutely on a cash basis so far as his quick source of credit is concerned, he will vote for the Fedje Bill because after its pass- | age the crop will no longer be a credit asset. But, if ‘he recognizes, as most men of business expe ence do, that it is only sound busi- nesg foresight to husband a sure source of credit he will vote against it—Fargo Forum.

They were atraid of being stepped upon, so they hid. But what did the giant do but sit right down on the log when he reached it. He was a Dutch Giant and he wore, not only great wooden shoes, but loose, baggy trousers with great patches and a funny short coat. And his pockets were big enough to hold a windmill. “Oh, where can my_ leedle kave gone?” ‘he panted. “I haf hunted and hunted and cannot find him. His edrs were so cute and short and his tail was so cute and long, once. Oh, my poor leedle dog! He must be lost!” Suddenly the#Twins heard a noise like the stamping of a ‘hundred. gows, dog THREE MEN IN BOAT IN JAIL NOW Three Trenton (N. J.) men claimed they were out fishing and caught several sacks of booze. Cops said the booze part sounded fishy and the fishing part sounded boozy. Fishermen, as you may know, await their catch with bated breath. Well, thege three men’s breath was baited. The serious-minded judge intimated they were rum runners, and that the only fish they wanted were suckers. Such is the tale of three men in a boat. They caught, not suckers, buti hades. POLITICS The government is running a goat farm outside of Washington. Keal goats are kept there for research. You don’t see any oil politicians, and not even any lame ducks. and out from some huge bushes rushed a creature that looked as though one of the Rocky Mountains has grown a crop of hair and decid- ec to take a journey. And it was making a noise much, much louder than the wooden shoes had done. “Oh, there you are!” cried the Dutch’ Giant happily here ave you been, you leedle rascal? Come here, Snap.” And he cracked his fingers like thunder. The Twins saw the dog coming right at them. They weren’t a bit frightened, for Silver Wing had told them that Beanstalk Land was a perfectly safe place, and only jolly giants lived there. But she hagn’t said a word about the jolly giants’ dogs, and it might be possible that Snap would mistake them for wood mice or something that Dutea dogs were specially fond of. “Quick!” whispered Nick. into the giant’s pocket.” So holding tight to the cloth of “Jump his funny short coat, the Twins scrambled into one of his big square pockets. : But troubles were not over! Snap was hungry and started to smell around ‘his master’s clothes for a piece of weeny or bologna. And the first thing “Nancy and Nick knew, a great wet nose began to sniffle and sniffle all over them and blow its hot breath down like a porpoise into the giant's pocket. “Oh, goodness!” gasped Nancy. “Jiminy!” gasped Nick. “Ah, ha! You got fooled that time!” roared the funny giant. “The other is the one! That was. the empty pocket! See, I know you, Mister Curiosity!” And the giant put his hand into his pocket — what do you think! Nency and Nick, of course! And he pulled them out and set them on his knee.
