THE STATE'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) THE BADLANDS PARK There have been sporadic efforts during the last several years for the creation of a national park in the Badlands. A tour is now under way which brings the question to a head again. Out of the present effort an organization may come which can carry on a continuous argument in favor of the preservation of this bit of wonderland under government supervision. Scenery unlike any other in the United States is found in the canyon of the Little Missouri in the Badlands. The petrified forest: has a counterpart only in the southwestern part of the United States. Hach year the petrified forest of Arizona is visited by thousands of tourists. and it is much more difficult of access than the petrified forest of the Bad-. lands. The Badlands of North Dakota offers q fine game preserve and under government protection doubtless the antelope and other wild game would thrive and multiply. *'The increase of the automobile tourist traffic creates the need for additional national parks. The number of vis- itors to such parks has been increasing rapidly in the last few years. It would seem a logical step in the development of national parks in the Northwest to incorporate the Bad- lands in the sysiem. Those eastern visitors who have made a trip through the Badlands are enthusiastic about its wierd and fantastic beauty. It cannot be doubted but that as a park the Badlands would be visited each year by thousands More than now see it under less favorable conditions of transportation than could be provided without great expense North Dakota ought not to cease to point out to visitors the wonder of the region. The Badlands can be made a dis- tinct asset to the state in attracting tourists. The people of.the state can render a service to the nation at large by keeping up the campaign ‘until a Roosevelt National Park is created in western North Dakota. MR. GOMPERS BOWS Samuel Gompers, the ‘veteran head of organized labor. for years opposed the creation of a labor party or the en- ‘nen into polities of the American Federation of Labor. M cmpers took the position that labor unions were en- . solely in improving the economic conditions of the : and that much might be lost by swerving labor awa;’ from what he considered the true course to the bick- erings of partisan politics. The action of the executive board of the American Federation of Labor, meeting in At- lantie City, was contrary to the principles laid down by Mr. Gompers. The veteran labor leader evidently bowed to what he believed was a superior force in the organization. 8, Editorial Review Comments reproduced tn this || column may or may not express the opinion of The Tribune. 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. DAWES THE COMPOSER =| Charles G. Daw appears to be the only prominent candidate for office who is also identified with an artistic pursuit. There have been occasional rumors, quickly hushed and scarcely credited, that the champion fire-brand and best | all-round catch-as-can swearer in the republican party was a violin- ist and composer of some note on the side. The matter now crys- talizes in Fritz Kreisler’s choice ot a Dawes melody for inclusion in his own repertory and in a public rendition of the composition by a symphony orchestra in Philadel- phia. AS a usual thing, public men in the United States conceal any such tendencies as they may have to- ward participation in the fine arta as jealously as they conceal their lapses into mule-driver’s English. They would as soon be caught swearing in the presence of a fem- inist delegation as writing sona- tas or sonnets. And as an even more usual thing, the public men of the United States would hardly know a sonnet from a sonata if they were to meet them on the street. They want to be known a9 plain men, friends of the common people, and utterly detached from cultural activities. One of the least encouraging as- pects of Main Street is this same shame-facedness in regard to cul- ture. We need more statesmen, captains of industry and bankers who can write music. It might be good for us to elect a few officials with a taste for lyric poetry. Pos- sibly more of our candidates for office have cancelled their lights under a bushel than has been sus- pected. It should prove no great disaster to them if, following- Mr. Dawes’ example, their hidden tal- ents were revealed.—New York World. . THE AGE OF THE FADDIST If the health faddist don’t save us all it will surely not be because of any scarcity in the number of alluring “systems” they have worked out or any lack of sugges- tions as to what we should eat, how we should take our “daily dozen” and what we should do when ill. Here are a few of the thines that faddists offer to make up the “perfect day”: i Watch the caged tiger and learn: the ways’ of keeping fit—nresum- ably addressed to the caged of- fice worker. Cure your cold by standing on your head—your own blood pres- sure will do the trick. ‘Want to see one of nature's mir- acles? Then trv the milk diet; or pn all-vegetable diet; or a raw- food diet, letting the sun do your cooking. Would you be a great singer? Look at 2 diagram of Caruso’s throat and make your own like it. Simple enough, surely. More brain power? Well, here fis the man who has harnessed the forces of the mind and is ready eliver. Surely there is no rea- why anyone should be a son weakling any more. But suppose a man tried ‘em all. Tet him start his day with his CROWDED Japan is encouraging emigration of her people to Brazil. It’s reported she’ll pay their traveling expenses and give them a present of 200 yen apiece when they depart. Paying citizens to leave a country is something new. The; orient is over-populated. It’s an ancient situation, not new. | And it’s aggravated by the world-wide rise in standard of | living, which has a tendency to make an acre of land support | fewer people. { Improved industrial and agricultural methods and de- | vices will never be able to keep pace with the craving for still | better living standards. ° GOLD This is news to most people: Gold is sometimes pre- serbed by physicians as medicine. It’s taken in certain kinds of desfondency where the patient is on the borderline of suicidal tendencies. A few doses of “arum metallicum” (gold), properly ad- | ministered by a doctor, often maké the melancholy person | che-rful and full of pep, even optimistic. The coveted yellow metal has similar powers, received externally. Its possession or loss sways human emotions as much as friendship and love. AHOY! Nations should advertise among each.other, urges Stan- ley Baldwin, the British politician. A good suggestion. For} ifance, Uncle Sam would conduct a gigantic newspaper ' advertising campaign in Japan to tell Japanese the truth a@qut why we exclude them. Cost would be considerable, but: very cheap compared with possible war costs later. “"2¥ifty millions, spent in hostile countries by England, -Germany, France and Russia, would have averted the World ‘ar. 4 SECRET ##Privacy in radio communication is claimed by John Hays “Hammond, Jr., the famous-inventor.

I knew them in the circus.” “All right,” said Nancy and Nick happily. “We're all. ready.” “Have you got my satchel?” asked Weeny. “I can’t go visiting without my nighty and my toothbrush and my_ specks.” “We have them all right,” ‘said Nick. 5 “Then forward—march!” sof Weeny, and away he went with his four big paddy feet, and switching his little tail behind him. “Hooray!” cried Nitk. “Hurrah!” cried Nancy. They were as happy and queen of Timbyctoo. Pretty soon they came to the rock house of the lion family, Mister and Mrs, Lion and their sons Cubby, Tubby and Bubby. And the lions were just sitting down to lunch, “How do you do,” said Mister Lion. “You're just in time. We have crocodile wings and guinea the king pig tails.” “Pa must have his joke,” said| Mrs. Lior’ apologetically. “Don’t pay: any attention to hirh. Boys, behave your manners and get up and set some chairs for the com- pany.” So Cubby and Tubby and Bubby jumped up ‘and untucked their nap- kins from underneath their chins and set three extra chairs at the table. “Do sit down,” begged Mrs. Lion. Nancy and Nick -had no trouble at all, but Weeny felt most awk- ward. But at last he got himself fixed and everybody began. to pass things this. way and that, until looked like ia game of “Button—button—, who's got the button?” ’ Things tasted pretty good, for, being circus folk, Mister and Mrs. Lion had become used to all sorts of dainties, and Mrs, Lion was a good cook. : “it’s a nice day,” said Weeny reaching for another biscuit at the other end of the table with his long trunk. “Fine!” roared Mister Lion, wip- ing his mustache with the tassel on his tail and forgetting all about the napkin around his neck. “Fie!” said Mrs. Lion, shocked at his manners, i “Excuse me, ma!” ‘grinned Mister Lion. “But I must have my little joke.” “Weeny reached ‘for another bis- cuit right over Nick’s head.. Just ‘then Cubby Lion shoved Tubby sLion off ‘his chair just for fun,” * ; “Boys, boys!” roared their daddy so loudly that you would have won- dered where the thunder was com- ing from. i Weeny took advantage of4 this romps to reach over Nancy*s thead with his trunk and drink up ail of Cubby’s and Tubby’s soup. And after that, the minute any- body began to talk, Weeny reached for something. First thing you know there wasn’t a thing left. “Hey! Where's’ ‘my @innér?", roared Mister Lion.

Oh, tiny flower beside the road, I sense thy fragrant bloom, And stop to revel in the bliss, Of thy sweet, faint perfume; Thou givest all thou hast to me, Then why must I live selfishly? Oh, singing bird, and swaying flow- er, A lesson ye have given: If I but seek to gain the prize, In vain have I then striven; But if a helping hand I lend, athe wortd will know me for a friend, This then shalt be my wayside pray- er: Lord, grant my light so shine, That others seeing it take heart, To brave the steep incline; And, when they’ve reached the top- most stair, They'll leave their ‘lights shining there. still Great Statesman Had Genius of Invention Thomas Jefferson, signer of the Declaration of Independence and third President of the United States, was of an inventive turn of mind as well as being a fairly. good violinist and something of a scientist, remarks the Detroit News. On one of his tours of Eu- rope he was struck by the bad con- struction of the plows in use by the peasants of France. The moldboard, a device above the share to turn over the earth, he decided, required the redesign- ing. He spent the greater, part of his leisure time evolving a mold- board that would be most ‘effective, Satisfied, at lggth, that he shad succeeded, Jefferson sent a plow equipped with his new device to the Royal Agricultural Society of the Seine. A medal which the so- clety awarded him—for the plow proved to be all he had hoped for— followed him to New York, and Bal years later the society sent him a ‘specially made plow containing his improvement as a token of ap- preciation for what he had done for agriculture in France.
