It is prob- able that many more than fifty thousand residents of other states will cross North Dakota from west to east or from €ust-to west during the present summer, and a large number of them will pass through Bismarck on the National Parks lfighway. The usual hospitality of Dakotans may be counted on to insure the visitors courteous treatment at all times, and a score of cities and towns have done what they can to make the visitors’ trip more pleasant by arranging camps und information bureaus. But there is the opportunity to do more than merely accord them the friendly western grip. Each tourist will carry his impressions, or his opinion, of North Dakota to far distant points, and will, in the nature of things, expound to others. Every resident of the state, of course, desires that the impression conveyed shall be a true one. There is offered the opportunity to all North Da- } kota residents to see that tourists do appreciate the bound- less resources of North Dakota, and that it offers a great outlet for the energies of thousands of middle western farm. ers who desire to own their own homes and to prosper.

Kent, old and broken, was taken to the jail at Ann Arbor, Michigan. He had been schoolmaster, teacher of history, leader of a Sunday School class, general helper and adviser to young , ideas. Now he is at the end of things, for, in a brief two + years, he wrecked a lifetime of honor. Wife became sick. His salary never had been large, a3 ceems the sad lot of the school teacher, and grave need faced) hm. He fell. A bogus check was passed. It did not save the wife and it de:troved him.

Always, always, the law “war but a few steps behind him. “T never knew happiness in those two years of flight,” he says. “I never knew what it was to live blissfully or sleep indly. Always fearing, always fleeing.” Now the law has caught him—caught him, an old, broken, . helpless wreck, body and soul. “I have learned the lesson | eve taught so many of my students,” he tearfully says. ."E*ucation is nothing without moral stability.” Yes, he has learned the truth too late for himself, but in ‘t me to point a moral for others. Education is not all. for brains that know not the leash of morality only make crime more hideous. Poor, wrecked, old Kent knows this now and the best he con do with what is left of him is to offer himself as a ter- ~yible example. HP STUMPED In a recent week, with business supposed to be dull, the nation’s Bank clearings totaled $87 for every $80 of bank cheeks sent through the clearing houses in the corresponding week of last year—when times wera booming. People haven’t been spending mpre than in 1923. They laven’t been on any orgy of paying laills. Prices haven’t been ‘higher to show up in the form of inflated clearings. _, If you can explain the gain, step to the head of the class. ‘The business experts are stumped. ! SCARED All past records are being broke.x in the amount of life ‘Insurance taken out by the American people. So far this ear over a fifth more life ingurance has been written than -in 1928, when a new record was hung up.

Now it represents 11 billions of sensible Tnvestment—the surest and easiest wiay to save. ‘BACKFIRE .

They are presented here in order that our readers may have both sides of important issues which are being discussed in the press of the day. THE NOMINATING SYSTEM The high importance of the pow- er to control or dictate nomina- tions for political office is dwelt | upon by Mr. Kent in his recent book, which is so close a study of the workings of a party machine.. He attributes to this power a/ very large part of the strength of; a city boss, ranking the ability to nominate even above that to elect. ‘The boss may now and then lose an election, but if he still retains, and is known to retain, such a hold vpon his party organization as will | place in his hands the naming of al! the important candidates in the next election, his grip may con-| We have seen this truth illustrat- ed again and again in New York. The late Boss Murphy frequently suffered disastrous defeats at the polls, but so long as he could go on designating nominations for judge- ships, for Congress, even for the governorship, ihe came up smiling after each of the electoral beatings which were expected to break his power. This kind of close-conporation control in national politics long since passed away. No one man, no small group of men, can now decide beforehand who is to be nominated as President. The abolition of the old unit rule in the Republican Party and its partial abandonment by the Demo- crats have brought about condi- tions which may not be satisfactory in all respects, but which, at ail events, have made an end of the open and unblushing boss system, as exhibited on the federal stage. ‘The existing gods of the ma- chine have to be more refined and secretive in their methods. The avowed and even brutal dictation of other days would not be tolerat- ed now... At least this amount of credit must be given to the later forms of the national convention. Not even its stoutest defenders, however, could maintain that it is @ wholly admirable institution which functions well. Both at Cleveland and New York this year things were done to make the judi- cious grieve. A foreign observer planted in a national convention to study the ways of the American democracy in action would certainly get some disagreeable impressions. He would see the delegates too often conducting “themselves like either) crazy people or small children. \ Put he wrote other worthless checks—it was easy to de-| He way}d)gp$lan immense amount of time and energy abolutely wast- ed If he were asked to mention any political organization on earth which seemed so inefficient, so of- chuck the next day when her hus- band came down to breakfast. “Thank you, my dear!” said the woodchuck gentleman.““Why, what's this?” And he picked up the pack- age off his plate where his wife had laid it. “It's something that came by mail,” said Mrs, Woodchuck proudly, “Open it and see.” So Mr. Woodchuck took his knife and ran it along the edge of the package and out dropped a picture. “Well, well, well!” he remarked. “Some kind friend has sent me. her picture, but I can’t seem to make out just who it is. I see she has borrowed your hay my dear, but my how her ears do stick up through it! Most remarkable, I should say.” “Mrs. Woodchuck seized the pic- ture and gave one, shriek of dismay. Mrs. Cottontail had been standing ht behind her when Nick took the ten absurd, so frequently paralyzed as a national convention in. the!

Some of the things which happened in New York last week strongly indicate that the national convention is in need of being saved from its own professed fviends.—New York Times. ADVENTURE OF | THE TWINS BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON “I don’t believe you’re ever go- ing to take my picture,” said Mrs. Woodchuck crossly to Nick, “Ever since I came here things have gone wrong.” \ And at that minute, to make things worse, her hat slid down over But by and by she got settled and Nick said. “Now look pleasant, please,” and the camera went click, and the picture was taken and it was all over. I hope you didn’t mind me look- ing on,” said a voice just then, and looking around they saw Mrs. Cot- tontail. 4 “Why, Mrs. Cottontail, I didn’t see you,” said Mrs. Woodchuck. “I didn’t hear you come in at all!” “Well, here I am,” laughed Mrs. Cottontail, “I came to get my pic- ture taken. You were all talking so much I don’t suppose you could hear anything but your own voices.” “It’s to be a secret about my pic- ture,” said Mrs. Woodchuck. “I’m having it taken for a surprise for Wally’s birthday tomorrow and he mustn’t know a word about it. I know you won't tell.” Not a word, Mrs. Woodchuck,” said Cottontail. “I'll be as silent as as anything.” “When will my pictures be done?” asked Mrs. Woodchuck. j “They'll be done at half past five,” said Nick. “Just mail the pictures to Mister Wally W. Woodchuck. They'll come before kfast and I'll lay the package on his plate as though it was a letter. Good-by, Nick! Goodby, picture and he took Mrs. Cottontail’s errs. too, although none of the’ rest of her could be seen at all. i Mrs. Woodehuck put on her hat and marched right over to Happy ‘Go Lucky Park. I can’t tell you all that happened but pretty soon "Mister Zip put up a sign over the door of the photograph place which said “Closed!” And it’s been closed ever since. .

Like “The Covered Wagon,”’“Amer- ica,” “The Birth of a Nation,” it depicts a #ignificant phase of our national life—the close of the pas- toral era. “Sundown” has historic perspective and scope; is& film-docu- ment of a vanishing breed of men and beasts and the land they prepar- ed for closer settlement. Human drama rides in stirrups and chuck wagon beside the hoofed le- gions; drama springing from en- croachment of homesteaders upon the cattle provinces of the: elder west, from stampede, prairie fire, financial crisis and hard straits. But the individual actors, giving of their best, are dwarfed by the massed animals, 50,000 strong, wind- ing from foreground to horizon through the picture in the slow curv- ing line of melancholy, the line of yearning and regret which gives “Sundown” its distinctive tone. EVERETT TRUE 50,000 CATTLE HAVE STELLAR ROLE IN MOVIE OF SOUTHWEST .: ©: The film is from an original, story by Earl Hudson, production. super- visor of First National, based , upon recent cattle drives from‘the south- west states to Mexico for adequate range, a pathetic exodus to folk along the Rio Grande. _ Curious how moving is. the ,sight of a great herd on the march. At rest, grazing, they arg, merely so many beeves. But, in, mass motion they stir emotions ,of,primal majesty. Their very docility adda to the ef- fect of high drama, Greatures ‘of man’s dominance, his meat and milk, in turn dominating their owners, forced to go where the cattle may graze, even to the abandonment of home and exile to an alien land. Then in a moment, at the smell of water, the ‘placid mass converted into a terrible catapult, wiping. out everything in the path of stampede, including the home of the nestor family whose daughter provides the love interest—an awesome scene that, with the girl and her lover stranded in a sea of tossing horns. Again, poignant pathos when the cowhands, after immemorial custom, sing down the: herd for the night BY CONDO INVENTED BY WOMEN é By Albert Apple Did you ever know a woman to invent anything? Amer- ican waren have invented and patented’ nearly 1400 devices. A-check-up shows that when women put their inventive ingenuity to work they usually turn out household appliances. |Women have created washing machines, kitchen cabinets, holders for hot pans, carpet beaters, mattress turners, mouse traps and so on through a long list. Next thing that, makes them cudgel the ing ‘apparel. All the way from hooks-and eye-lashes. Farm women have invented and patented many such things as incubators, churns, windmills, tractors and seed | planters. . peo 3 " Business women’ have originated railroad equipment. office supplies, toys, musical instruments, road-building equipment, and intricate machinery. ae ; fs, When old man’Howe was trying to invent the sewing machine, he reached the point where he was stumped. His wife got tired of having him sit around in the way. She shoved him aside, sat down before his machine, gave it a | few whirls and said: “Put the thread eyelet in the other end of the needle, down by the point.” : - In a flash she solved the problem that had baffled him for years. He got all the credit, of course. ir brains is wear- -eyes to artificial \ Woman is quick to find a solution to problems. One in- vented a cow-tail holder to stop being swished during milk- ing. Another devised a stronger chopping bow! after the one she was using split in two and spilled its contents in her lap. Still another invented a pie pan with a special lid to keep juices from boiling over into the oven. The dist is long, these things created and patented by women. It includes nearly every major form of human ac- tivity. Woman, ‘whose place once was in the home in fact, is steadily branching out into an increasing multitude of in- dustries. > All of which is not surprising to any man who has ever observed and marveled at the thousands of things women can do with that marvelous contraption, a bent hairpin.
