Dawes in his home city of Evanston, Illinois, probably throws out a more clear cut Republican challenge with popular appeal than has been given to the people in any of the notification speeches.

(St. Paul Dispatch) | Because the Supreme Court of} North Dakota held that petitions t» put upon the November ballot a constitutional ameridment pro- viding for a $6,000,000.00 bond is- sue to be used in paying depositors in closed banks, the Association of Depositors in Closed banks de- cided at a meeting in Bismarck on Saturday to attempt a recall of three of the judges of that court. j In its decision the court held that the petitions presented to the secretary of state were “insuffi- | cient in form.” That is, they complied neither with the require- | ments of the state constitution a9 to the form there prescribed nor | to the law governing the matter of | signatures. The petitioners at- tempted to have submitted to the vcters a constitutional amendment and a legislative enactment, the furmer providing for the bonds, the latter providing for the per-j petuation of the guarantee of bank deposits law, for the appoint- ment of a commission in which the state bank association shall not have, as now, a voice, and for the assessment of state banks of the cost of the bonds and interest over a period of thirty-six years. The twin measures were offered in a _ emphatic as usual. He was blunt and direct. He struck at ‘what he thought to be the vital issues of the campaign, and one gets the impression that he didn’t ask any politicians about what he should say, either. LaFollette is a radical and his great support lies with the Socialists, Mr. Dawes declared. The Democrats are. straddling radicalism, and there lies in the situation the; possibility of “Bryanism” succeeding Coolidge policies. The Republicans stand on the constitution, defend the existing order of things — its label, as Mr. Dawes puts it, is “pro- gressive conservatism.’ Mr. Dawes sensed the political aspects of the fight although he is not a politician. He perhaps views the situ-! ation as one eastern writer who predicted Coolidge’s elec- tion. The conservative forces will look at the Democratic ticket and see Bryan; the radical forces will look at the Democratic ticket and see Davis. The former will go to Coolidge and the latter to LaFollette. Mr. Dawes evidently wants to help this spirit along. President Coolidge appealed to the voters for a “common sense” government. Anyone who knows anything at all about the machinery of government will appreciate that the Pres‘dent has not used an idle phrase, but has set a huge task before himself. Mr. Dawes pointed to the LaFollette program, demand- ‘ing public ownership of railroads, attacks on the court and constitution. He pointed to the telegram of Eugene Debs to the Socialist convention urging it indorse LaFollette, which the convention did. He sought to label Mr. LaFollette a “red,” a label which the Wisconsin senator has tried to avoid carrying. Mr. Dawes naturally can speak with some conviction of the merits of the Republican foreign policy. His “Dawes! plan” represents the crux of this policy of friendly coopera- tion in European affairs without entanglement. He would be entitled to praise the Republican record of economy. in the administration of governmental affairs, because his directorship of the first budget pointed the way to an enorm- ously reduced expenditure. He is right in assuming that the great bulk of the people affiliated with the Republican party believe in respect for the courts, safe-guarding the consti- tution, honesty in government, progressive changes as the world moves, and guarantees of the rights of the individual. THE GRADE CROSSING Beside the roadway was a huge red sign giving warning, “Danger — Railway Crossing.” Farther along, the usual white and black arms announced the very presence of that “ dangerous crossing. 1B In addition ,there blazed forth the ominous red light of an automatic danger signal that no normal eye could fail to see ;, or normal brain do less than comprehend. A great motor truck, loaded with some 25 or 30 children, :, approached, passed the first red sign, then the white arms, and reached the throbbing tracks at the very moment a train flashed by. Did the driver see the warnings? Who knows? Did he :heed them? He did not. And 10 little children were hurled | into eternity and as many more grievously wounded. form that required but one signa- ture and if on the ballot, would not permit voting for each separ- ately. A minor organization was that the text of the proposed ! measures was not printed in full | in the petitions as required by jaw. Instead of accepting the decision of the court, the depositors’ asso- ciation proceeds to remove the ob- jectionable court! It will issue petitions for the recall of Judges | Sveinbiorn Johnson, Luther &. | zell and W. L. Nuessle—a ma- jcrity of the court. They are to be punished for upholding the; constitution and for their inter-| pretation of its meaning, by the| ccst of a campaign and possibly | by removal from office! The effect of such action upon court decisions ig merely a rever- sion to mob law. If a supreme court must have its ear to the ground like a politician to hear the rumble of public opinion, andj divide its attention between esti- mating the popular wish and the majority in favor of a decision on | one hand and the law and facts in| the case before it, not a long time: will elapse before the law and the facts will drop into the back-} ground and instead of a judicial) body, the supreme court will have | become a legislative body, regis- tering the apparent will of the largest mob. The recall of judges thus results in a subversion of the judiciary,! its decisions being subject ‘oj challenge and its judges under pain of dismissal and to some ex- tent disgrace at the whim of the few thousand who thoughtlessly sign a petition on any pretext or on none. The authority of the judiciary as one of the three branches of government is: entire ly thwarted and annulled and it be- comes a mere megaphone through which is shouted the voice of the} largest crowd. MR. FIRPO RETURNS (Springfield Daily News) Strange to relate the arriva] of Luis Angel Firpo from his Argen- tine home, has failed to arouse} the degree of enthusiasm that had} been expected. It must-be taken into consideration, however, that{ a good many of the sport writers in the East are away on vacation trips at the present time. Until they return sporting hash relating to Mr. Firpo will be served spar- ingly. The chief purpose of this return engagement seems to be to fulfill a contract with Tex Rickard to meet Harry Wills.

We had not that wisdom when the railways came through *tHence, we have the deadly grade crossing that has, every- where, taken its toll of human life in an enormous measure. True it is, of course, that it would have been no more fool-hardy to try driving a team over an unbridged canal “than it is now to attempt to motor across a railway ahead ,,of a speeding train, but there is no way, seemingly, to beat “that fact into the auto-intoxicated speed-kings of the times. The grade crossing exists, and, so long as that be true, it ‘will continue to exact sanguinary tribute, not only from those who challenge its dangers, but also from others who “are entirely innocent of any such recklessness. That makes it wholly wrong in principle and fact. It *cannot be made safe, mark it, hedge it and blazon its menace ‘sas we may and do. It should be eliminated completely. | Whatever its value to the railways as an ehgineering or. s:economic proposition may be, it is not, and never can be, worth the human life that is its awful and irrevocable price. OUTDOORS Doctors, who run the great Health Industry, quite ,maturally would hope to find city children averaging health-? “jer than rural youngsters. There are many ways of measur- _ing health and physical fitness. And possibly the M. D. un- “consc‘ously uses the yardstick that shows the best results. | Common sense is superior to investigations and statis- ‘ties. And common sense tells you that the country is a far ihealthier environment than the city, despite the latter’s ‘advantages in the way of physical training and corrective }medical aid. You can prove anything with “figgers.” BLINDED . More than 200 American children were blinded in one or 'both eyes this year celebrating the Fourth of July with fire- _works.

The American pub- lic will not take much stock in this chap unless it can be shown that} he is learning more about the box- ing game than he knew on that ill-fated day when Dempsey floor- ed him repeatedly, even after Fir- Po had knocked the heavyweight! champion through the ropes. That] affair was not calculated to arouse intense interest in the Argentine giant, though sport writers all agreed that he possessed enoug’, ‘brute strength to clean his way through an average crowd of bat- ters. Jimmy De Forest, a well known authority on ‘boxing, has argued all along that Firpo could be train- | ed into a formidable contender for Dempsey’s crown. He has worked with the Argentine battler and he knows whereof he speaks. Firpo op the other hand is pictured as conceiving that he knows it all and is a hard customer to handle in the training camp. His supply of| science was limited enough when he was here before. If he hasn't added to this knowledge or if he hasn't taken steps to increase his iboxing capacity his case is hope-| less, even against Wills. | ADVENTURE OF |; THE TWINS BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON |} “Tell_me some more news,” said | Mister Polar Bear to Weeny, the! circus elephant. Weeny and the Twins had come to see Petey Polar | Bear, and they did wish that Petey would hurry back from his errand at the fish store, and that Mister Bear wouldn’t ask too many questions. Still—they had to be polite, so Weeny answered, “I don’t think there is much more news, Mister Peis) THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE | Out of the Bad Lands “There was a very bad storm on j Lake Something-or-other, amd it blew the whole town of What-ever-it-was clear away.” “There! I knew it!” declared Mis- ter Polar Bear delightedly. “And wasn’t there a fire anywhere?” “Why, yes,” said Weeny. “There was a very bad fire in the I-forget- what-forest and it burned a thou- sand miles of trees down.” $ “Well, well, well!” said Mister Bear. “That is news indeed! And wasn’t there an airplane going some- where? “Why, yes!” said Weeny. “Some men from--oh, goodness! I never can remember the name of the plage, other place, tao!” “Now, th beamed Mister Bear. “If there is anything I itke, it is news. I live so far away from everybody I never now a thing. This newspaper | am reading is ten yéars old and it’s all worn out.” “Why don’t asked . “A rady what?” asked Mister Bear. “What's that?” “Why it’s a machine you put on your table, and it talks to you,” said Nancy. “It tells you all the news and sings to you and plays to you, and tells you bedtinfe stories.” “Bedtime stories!” laughed Mister Bear. “Why, up here where we live we only go to bed once a year and we stay there six months. One hed- time story a year would do. But if it tells the news, I'd like to have one. How do you get one?” “You buy it at the store,” Nick. Mister Bear shook his head. “I’m too far away and I haven't much money,” he said, Right then and there you get a radio?” said Nancy had “If you don't care, Mister Bear, I think we'll go and look for Petey,” she said. “All right!” said Mister Bear. “Go right along.” But Weeny and the Twins didn’t go to the store at all! They went right to see Santa Claus, for the North Pole was just around the cor- ner. And didn’t Santa Claus have a radio left over from last Christmas which he gladly gave them! And wasn’t Mister Bear pleased, though! And Weeny and the Twins were so happy about it all that they forgot to be cross about waiting. And pretty soon Petey came home with the fish for lunch and they all stayed a week.

It As far as LETTER FROM LESLIE PRESCOTT TO RUTH BURKE, CONTINUED Mother was so heartbroken over Alice, she- kept gaying that she wished she had not sent her to Eng- land. I tried to comfort her, Ruth, and- although I think that England did net do her any good, I did not tell mother so. Instead I said: “I do not believe living in England made ‘any particular difference in Alice, mother. If you will remem- ber she always insisted on having her own way, and she’ was not al- ways too scrupulous as to the meth- od by which she got it. “I wonder if you remember, moth- er dear, that when I was married we were surprised one day when she gave a very vigorous opinion of me for not marrying Karl. I think even before that she was in love with him —that is, in love as much as she can love any one except herself.” “Hush, Leslie,” said my mother, “although ‘she has wroriged you, you must not feel so bitter toward her.” “Why should J’ not? Wouldn’t you feel bitter, mother, toward some one who died’ and who has appar- ently succeeded in breaking up your home? I hardly thought it would be my own sister. I could even for- give another woman more easily. Thank God she is married to Karl, and I don’t think she will worry about me any longer—at least she oughtn’t to. “Karl Whitney has always ap- pealed to Alice’s romantic tenden- cies. He has been the hero around whom she has dramatized her own emotions, and she probably thought it would be a very dramatic episode to snatch him away from the other woman, even if that other woman was I. “She's a very jealous woman, mother. She not only wants to stand first in Karl Whitney's eyes, but in yours and dad’s as well as in the eyes of every other person she happens to like. The reason she is fond of England is because the English made much of her, and the reason she doesn’t like America any Aho Ta more is because when she came back, it was only to be one*of a number of bright girls as clever and perhaps more beautiful than herself.” You see, “Ruth dear, I did not mean to be so unforgiving; at least I did not mean to say all these things to mother, for after all, Alice is mother’s daughter, but as I was speaking it came over me again how by writing that anonymous let- ter she had widened the misunder- standing between Jack and me. I was furious. Mother made me promise at the last, after I had shown her the let- ter which Alice wrote, that I would not tell dad, as I had threatened. “It is bad enough,” she said, “for “He may never know,” swered bitterly. “He hasn’t swered your telegram, mother. not sure whether ‘he will come or not. I've grown so sick and dis- gusted over that string of pearls that if it were not for giving them to Alice and letting her triumph over me, I would send them all back to her and be glad to get rid of them.” “That’s it, daughter. We make greater sacrifices always to our pride than we do to our love. THY easiest way in the world to settle this whole thing would be for you to send those pearls back, as John wishes.” “But I’m not going to do it,” I interrupted. “I do not see why i should be the one to make a sacrifice in this case to love while Jack pays votive offerings to his pride. Be- side, mothet, Jack has no reason for not believing and: if necessary for- giving me almost anything.” - I could have bitten my tongue out the moment I said this. Mother looked up in surprise, but she asked no questions. I was not sure, how- ever, it was because she had no curiosity on the subject, or because the maid handed her a telegram. She opened it.. Her face fell. “John wires it is impossible for him to come at this time.” Silently I left the réom. (Copyright, 1924, NEA Service, Inc.)
