It may be a little irksome to some readers of the North Dakota papers to see continually spread before them stories of the state’s good crops, the remarkable come-back of North Dakota and the possibilities for the future. But too much cannot be said on the subject. North Dakotans ought not to forget this year. In the future, when depression is upon them and the outlook is gloomy, let them hark back to the year 1924 and recall the amazement of eastern financiers—and of the state’s own people at the remarkable ability of the state to rise from the throes of unfortunate circumstances and bask in com- parative prosperity. There is no state in the union, perhaps, that can do what North Dakota can do in one year. There is no state in , which the farmer can pay for his land with the proceeds of one crop, which is being done in the state this year in many instances. There is no state, perhaps, which offers a better chance for a careful, hard-working citizen to make a moder- ate living through the varied activities of farming even in years when weather is unfavorable and then realize beyond all ordinary proportion on one good crop. The hum of the harvester is sweet music to the people of North Dakota this vear. The daily grain market fur- nishes bright reading. There is an atmosphere of happiness hovering over the prairies these glorious early fall days. North Dakota has her chance to din the story of this wonder state in the ears of the East and to recount the tale so often that the lesson is not forgotten at home. VIEWS STILL DISTORTED A. C. Townley is quoted in Nebraska as saying that he is through with politics, and that it is a rotten game and the players are an ungrateful, rotten lot. Mr. Townley is selling oil stock. Mr. Townley reached the heights in politics and he de-j scended with a thump into comparative oblivion. His state- ment smacks of grevious disappointment, and apparently springs rather from regret over his own failure than from a clear vision. For one who goes into public affairs with the viewpoint of Mr. Townley there is little to gain. He was essentially an autocrat, and he sought to enforce his views upon other people in a manner foreign to a self-respecting, democratic government. His guiding principle was rule or ruin. He ruined many, and also himself. He sought to accomplish what he later admitted were impossible aims. A socialist before he succumbed to the lust for power and sought to enforce his convictions through subterfuge, he was adopt- ing a method that has no place in our politics. In endeavor- ing to overturn natural laws and destroy the individualistic liberties guaranteed to citizens he was running counter to American principles. Mr. Townley failed. His failure was inevitable. But this failure does not prove his point. There is opportunity for men to speak and act fearlessly in public affairs and in the political arena. And the possibility of rendering good is enhanced, if they are not guided by selfish motives. THIS CRIME THING Word from Chicago is that the Loeb-Leopold hearing will cost that community not less than $600,000. That sum is less than a regular trial would have cost, but it is illum- inative in that it informs the public, not only there but everywhere, that crime is enormously expensive in dollars and cents, to say nothing of its hideousness. Chicago now has attained a record of a murder a day. Not all of these crimes will entail such expenses as are at- tached to the Loeb-Leopold hearing, but no one of them will fail to take its money toll from the pockets of the taxpayers. And what is true in Chicago is also true in every other community where crimes, great or small, are committed. Every time an offense against the law is perpetrated, whether it be of minor or major degree, it reaches into the pocket of every citizen and takes therefrem, in cold cash, either so many cents or so many dollars, as the case may de- mand. Soak your hide with that fact. We deprecate it but do not measure crime for what it is. We look upon it as merely an infringement or assault of one or more persons upon others, individually or collectively and in one way or another—as a shock to the human sensi- bilities. It is all of that and far more. It is a money tax of burdensome size. It is something that we permit to be forced on us and for which we must and do pay in cold, hard cash. It is something that impov- erishés us not only morally, physically ‘and mentally, but financially. The remedy is in the hands of civilization everywhere. That crime’s repulsive face leers at us from every angle is! our fault and ours alone. And we pay a heavy price for) that leer. ’ PACKED Editorial Review Comments reproduced in_ 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. SCHALL AND COOLIDGE H (St. Paul Dispatch) The Republican candidate for | the United States Senate from} Minnesota has declared the plat-| form and announced the key of his campaign. Mr. Schall has made a forthright declaration of support | to President Coolidge and Mr.! Dawes. He has announced that if; the election is thrown into the} House of Representatives, in| which he at present sits, he will vote for Mr. Coolidge. On such a platform Mr. Schall commands and deserves the whole- hearted support of every Republi- | can in Minnesota. More than that, with President Coolidge, he should get the’support of every one who disbelieves in tampering with American prosperity. The issue, as Mr. Schall said before the ‘Lin- coln Republican club of Hennepin county Thursday evening is clear- ly drawn. It is between Schali and Coolidge, on the one side, and Johnson and LaFollette on the! other. There is another side to the is- sue. An unusual and unwelcome situation may develop in national politics this year. This hag been gone into before, but it is worth | while to follow Mr. Schall in his} review of the circumstances which may take the election of a Pres- | ident this yeay out of the hands of | the people and possibly cause 4 most regrettable frustration of the |* public will. A,majority of votes in the elec- toral College is required to el a President. If Senator LaFollette gets as many electoral votes as his campaign manage’ say he will, he will have sevent: This is not an impressive number, but it might be enough to make impossible the election of either President Cool- idge or Mr. Davis. The election would then be thrown into the House, and, more- over, not the new House elected in Noyember, but the present House, representing the state of public opinion two years ago. The voting in the House is by states, and a majority is twenty-five. [n the present House there are twenty-three Republican, twenty Democratic and three tied delega- tions. Assuming that the Repre- sentatives make no switches, it is) evident that there must be a dead- Jock in the House. The Vice President, chosen by the Senate from the two highest candidates, would in that case be-; come President. There are ninety- six votes in the Senate, but owing to the recent death of Senator Colt of Rhode Island, the line-up is fifty Republican, forty-three Dem- ocratic and two Farmer-Labor Senators. If a Republican suc- ceeds Senator Colt, Mr. Dawes on the face of it would have fifty-one votes, two more than a majority. But among these fifty-one are three. those of LaFollette, Frazier and Ladd, which, along with those of the forty-three Democrats, Mag- nus Johnson and Senator Ship- stead, would go Mr. Bryan. That would make & tie of forty eight to forty-eight. If a single vote, say that of Senator Norris of Nebraska, should desert Mr. Dawes, then Mr. Bryan would become President. If the lines held, then the United States would be without a President until some means could be found for holding a special election, the ‘best opinion of authorities on constitu- tional law being that Mr. Cool- idge’s term would expire on March 3 of 1925 and that Secretary Hughes would not, according to the rule of succession under ordi- hary circumstances, ‘become Pres- ident. It is even doubtful whether the new Congress could be called in special -sesaion on March 4, since there would be no President to issue the call, and the result would be that the country would be without a chief executive until December of 1925, when means could be found for calling a new election or otherwise solving the constitutional puzzle. Senator Magnus Johnson is for LaFollette and Bryan; Mr. Schall for Coolidge and Dawes. The is- sue, then, is Mr. Schall and Pres- ident Coolidge against Mr. Johi- son and LaFollette.

And I'm sure they ought to look nice.” Mister Ringtail Coon was thinking about the same thing. “It’s” just like boys not to want to be dressed up,” he chuckled, “when they’ve been. accustomed to old clothes and bare. feet all summer. But when, the little Senator Copeland says: “In my city of New York is a square mile where live 500,000 persons. Just think of it — a‘half million in one square mile!

You'll get-as thin bean-poles.” He was a little bit, I mean a good bit, near-sighted, or he would have noticed they were getting as fat as butter-balls. About three days after that two neat little boxes came from “Nancy, Nick & Company's” shop. They were all tied with string and looked tox nice for anything. 80 “Here, boys!” called Mister Ring- tail Coon. “Come and try on your new suits. I'm sure you are going to look very handsome, I'm only sorry you are so thin.” Cobby looked at Corny, and Corny looked at Cobby. “All right, Uncle Ring,” they call- ed. “We're coming!” But the coon boys had gotten so fat on the sweet-corn that the coats wouldn’t go half way round. And the trousers simply wouldn’t button up at all. “Why, they are terrible!” exclaim- ed Mister Coon. “They don't fit, at all. They are much too small,” “I know why,” called down Tattle Tale Crow. “I've been watching, and your nephews have been steal- ing corn and that makes them fat.” “We're sorry, Uncle Ring, i Corny and Cobby when they how sorry their uncle looked. promise not to do it any more. And we'll be good boys and try to keep] clean and everything.” Which they did, I'm glad to say. They soon got thin again, and their suits looked just fine. And they always remembered to wash their ears, too.

It had all the news and just the kind of news in it that 1 wanted to learn. I don’t think you can realize how grateful I am to you, dear, for all you have done for me. : The reason I hayen’t answered your dear letter before this was be- cause it reached me in the morn- ing, and that evening Jack came in. Of course I did not know he was coming, and as luck would have it, I had gone over to Alice Van Court- land’s to play mah jongg. Mother had insisted upon it. She said I was getting into such a nervous state that she could hardly live with me, and that my father was much perturbed over my unhappy face. This news to me, as I thought I had succeeded in making dad think I was very happy. Alice was having a and mother in in evening dre: ten there, how large partys sted upon me going I had- hardly got- r, before mother called me on the phone to tell me; that Jack was at the house. He had brought little Jack and his nu and both of them were much di appointed because I was not there to greet them. I could hardly speak, Ruth, over| the phone. My heart was beating so fast that I could see it. Mother said little Jack was par- ticularly heartbroken, because he had been told he was going to sce muvver at grandma's house, and when he found that he was at grand- ma’s house and I was not there, he seemed to think every one was in league to keep him from his sweet muvver. At ‘that moment raised in such an overpowering and irrepressible paroxysm of sobs and yells that I could hear him over the phone. Happily, the car was wait- ing for me. Like wild woman, I riished through the people Alice had his voice was invited with the exclamation: “Jack and my baby are at mother’s!” When I got into the car I was shaking so my teeth chattered, but I managed to calm down a little be- fore I arrived at the house. You know what Jack is when he is disappointed—when his plans go awry. Well, I believe he was never more disappointed in his life, than when he arrived at the house and found I was not there. As near as I can make out he had expected to come and find me just inside the door, my arm outstretched, the string of pearls in my hand, ready to fall on his neck and ask forgivi ness and to hand him the necklace to be sent to Karl. Instead he found me at a party— and worse than that, when mother sent for me and I came in all dolled up in evening clothes, 1 was wear- ing the pearls! That was the last straw. I wish you could have seen his face when he saw me. It was something I will Never forget.. I think he would have snatched those fateful beads not been there. He came forward without any en- thusiasm, and bent to kiss me. Ruth, there is nothing in all this world’ that is colder than the kiss an angry man gives his wife when he thinks he must pretend to his in-laws that he is still an adoring husband.

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1924 *« YOUR POWERS OF TELEPATHY By Albert Apple He shipped himself in an express box, in Texas. And Bill Baker, 18, was nearly dead of thirst when he was res- cued by a case of mental telepathy. B. B. Neeley, express messenger who discovered Baker, {tells it this way: “While working at my desk in the express jcar, my subconscious mind told me’there was some one in the car besides myself. So, along between Toyah and Pecos, I decided 1 would thoroughly examine a certain large box. [ had that queer feeling that some one was lopking at me, | though I was alone ‘in the car and nobody in sight.” He opened the box and found young Baker, exhausted, his bottles of drinking water empty. Baker, by the way, ‘expressed himself to an uncle as a “surprise.” We doubt if any of our readers hasn’t had a similar ex- perience verging on telepathy. How many times have you turned in a crowd, uncomfortably conscious that some one was staring at you? If this doesn’t demonstrate “radio thought,” how do you explain it? Maybe you’ve walked with a friend in silence for some jminutes. Then you started whistling —and, at the very same instant, your friend burst forth with the same tune. Again ‘we have a demonstration of telepathy or some other mysterious force that links subconscious minds and carries communications between them. Or take the case of two intimate friends or a husband and wife “well mated.” Frequently they exclaim, a bit bewilder- edly: “What you said was Ae tip of my tongue.” These people also are so telepathically in tune with each other that they carry on a complicated conversation in so few words that an outsider wouldn’t get the drift at all. Will the eventual language be silence—thought transfer- ence? It doesn’t seem as “supernatural” as before we had New York, Sept. 9—Persons of all ages, walks of life and sections of the country write stage plays, but few of them are ever produced. Each day the office of a prominent producer is swamped with manu- seripts. Miss Ocllo Houston, a talented play reader, relates that few manuscripts submitted do not’ have some point of unusual interest and originality, but that few of them maintain a sus- tained interest throughout. Even those penned by successful playwrights frequently have to be re- written in many spots. Sex plays, the leading incidents un- doubtedly taken from the lives of the writers, predominate. Although many excellent ideas are suggested by unknowns they fall FABLES ON HEALTH CARE OF TEETH When first starting to baby’s teeth—so the Jones family learned—a small single row tooth brush should be used, The head of the brush should never be longer than one and one-fourth inches.

After each brushing the short of production in that the no definite plot and are not p because the author knows nothing of the intimate workings of the theater —the mechanics of the stage.
