THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) THE SITUATION CHANGED Hopes of people of the nation who believed that a straight- ferward policy of curtailment of the public expense with a consequent lifting of fetters on business and a_ beneficial effect to every person in the country through assurance of continued industrial activity, a quickened readjustment to the phantom objective “normaley” and perhaps a reduction in the cost of living, would be the great accomplishment of the present session of the national Congress are doomed to disappointment, A scientific plan of tax reduction was presented, the object of which was to lift the weight’ on business, e investments in productive concerns rather than in securities and make necessary a more level-headed plane of That plan has been ruthlessly shattered ion and utter selfish- 5. 6. ness in Congr podge tax revision measure which fails to provide revenue equal to the anticipated expenditures. The passage of the soldier bonus bill makes necessary the raising of a huge sum of money annually. It is a reward to those who served ,in the World War which may prove relatively as costly as the peace of Versailles. For every big contributing factor to the restriction of business activity means lessened prosperity and postponed readjustment of after-the-war conditions. Was a measure which was put through by a narrow-visioned Congress, entirely unnecessary and saddling a huge burden on the public treasury. The President’s adamant attitude for the kind of legis- gr The effect on the country at large is problematical. What his action may mean to his political future is uncertain as well. There is a considerable feeling among the people - that Presidents have come to represent the people at large. while Congress with its myriads of local pork-barrel schemes “en its fight for sectional or class gains has failed to think in te-ms of the entire nation. It is to be hoped that the yeovte will not forget that President Coolidge is taking the niore difficult course, that he is deliberately willing to place himsc'f in opposition to local prejudice and vote-getting measures, and to rest his case with the country at large. DODGING AGAIN The Mandan Pioneer, taking up the defense of the “hide and seek” road policy designed to bring people into “Man dan’s back door” and prevent them from onjoving equal ad- vantages in the Mandan and Bismarck mua eontinu to resort to ridicule and to represent falsely that the protesis arising here are those of one citizen and a newspaper. The Mandan Pioneer does not forget but it refuses to state that the Association of Commerce of Bismarck is back of the protests, that the most prominent business men and citizens of Bismarck declare our protest is just, and that 2 considerable number of Morton county people as well as Sioux county citizens, including the superintendent of the govern- ment Indian agency, all declare the so-called Mandan policy is one of utter selfishness and short-sightedness. The kind of cooperation offered to Bismarck and to 2 considerable portion of residents of southern Morton and , Sioux counties is a stab in the back. That is not the kind of cooperation they want from Mandan citizens or from any other source. EXECUTIONER Another public executioner commits suicide in Germany ——his name Schweiss, age 74, retired on a small pension. In his career he chopped off the heads of 123 criminals. Not an enviable record to carry into the Hereafter. He is on the other side now and knows how many (if any) of his victims were innocent, also whether capital punishment is classed as murder on the other side. The original version was “Thou shalt not kill”—without qualifications. Man has amended it for warfare and revenue against criminals. HIGH In France an aviator named Coupet breaks the world’s record by flying to a height of over three and a half miles above the ground with 2200 pounds of cargo aboard. This is a lot more important than smashing speed records. Fliers in general are obsessed with a craze for speed. What is needed most, to popularize flying, is SAFETY and CAR- RYJNG CAPACITY. Enormous express and passenger traffic will be handled by planes of the future. Flying still is more of a sport than a serious business. LIQUOR England and Scotland report that exports of liquor to islands near our Atlantic coast are only a third as much as “a year ago. But this doesn’t mean the rum-runners are less yactive. What is does mean, is a flood of counterfeit liquor, “made from alcohol exported from this desert country of ours. e stuff is shipped out, doctored, colored, bottled and label- then brought back as the real thing. ACTUALLY Nothing is impossible in our day and age. The former crown prince of Germany has actually gone to work, unless ithe report from Prussia is a hoax.

THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE ry O\\ My a it LETTER FROM JOHN ALDEN PRESCOTT TO SYDNEY CAR- TON, CONTINUED I confess, Syd, I was a little afraid that Sally Atherton would rhcck mother with some of her unconven- tional speeches, but much to my sur- prise she immediately made herself very interesting. She asked mother all sorts of things about the family tree, which, of course, was the most flattering thing she could have done. Also she waxed eloquent over all that old furniture that Leslie has put into the house, particularly that jold desk that mother gave to Leslie jas a wedding present. | Mother told her that she was sat- isfied that desk contained a sedret drawer, but that she never had been able té find it, and that Leslie had ;not seemed to, either. “It wouldn’t be secret very long if | Leslie found it,” I interrupted. “She never keeps anything from me, you know.” riot “Oh, I wouldn't be too that,” remarked Mrs. Atherton. “There isn’t a person in the world that hasn’t a secret drawer some- where—some place where he or she hides away things that they would tell to no one, no matter how much that one was loved. It may only be a secret place in her heart.” | “Iam glad to find you acknowl- edge such a thing as a heart,” I could not resist remarking for her ear alone. To my surprise mother nodded her head in confirmation of Mrs, Ath ton's surprising assertion and sai “I know this is true, for as much ps I loved your father, John, as long and as intimate as was our married FLOWER BEDS ARE PLANTED ATCAPITOL Effort Being Made to Increase Attractiveness of the Capitol Grounds An effort is being made to increase the attractiveness of the state capi- i tol grounds this summer by the planting of flowers. Five beds of flowers have been planted at the northeast corner’ of} the capitol. Protected by the capie tal itself from the wind, it is ext pected the cannas, pansies and as- ters will make beautiful flower beds, ; On the southwest corner, where thet wind must be reckoned with, a large bed of Califosnia and oriental pep?} pies was planted. Immediately in} front of the entrance to the capitol | * is a heart-shaped bed of flowers of all descriptions. The plantings are being done by the board of administration. Next week workmen will begin soddi the slopes of the new Memori Building grounds, preparatory making a lawn around the buildin Grading will be completed and all grounds put in shape. The board of administration had requested the legislature for $5,000 a, year to put the capitol grounds in shape, but the appropriation was cut to $1,000 a year.

It set me to wondering. I've always been so sure that Leslie keeps nothing from me, I've always been so’ certain that keeping one’s secrets was purely a masculine prerogative, that the idea was disturbing. I must have shown this in my face, for Mrs. Atherton spoke in answer to my expression for Chad said nothing: “One of the most interesting phases of life to me is the fact of masculine egotism. Every man thinks that he is not only the real custodian of his wife's soul, but the repository of her innermost thoughts There's one part of the marriage service that he takes seriously, and that is that marriage has made him and his wife one, He emphatically, however, believes he is the one. If he gets the slightest suspicion that his wife has a different opinion, ma riage then and thete is not a success in his estimation.” Lord, Syd, that woman is a con- | stant fillip to my intelligence. She invariably piques my imagfnation. | No ‘wonder @ man of Sam Ather- | ton’s caliber soon discovered that he was not the “one”, I don’t know a man that could tame her.
