THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) SPLENDID NEWS The announcement that large out-of-state banks, chiefly the larger Twin Cities Banks, will return over-plus collateral | to closed North Dakota banks for the benefit of depositors is splendid news. While the statement is made that At- ey-General Shafer was ready to institute legal proceed- . there manifestly would be doubt as to the outcome of the litigation, and the action of the large financial institu-| ticns in voluntarily foregoing the opportunity to make a! lorge profit on this collateral is proof of their desire that liovth Dakota banks, farmers and business institutions pros- per and receive fair treatment. !t is customary for institutions to foreclose on security fer loans, when the maker is unable to pay. This is done by} ind'viduals. In the matters at issue between the state bank ng department and the out-of-state banks, it was done when North Dakota banks failed to pay back money borrow- ed in Minneapolis. Ordinarily this is accepted as a matter of business. Return of the proceeds of these collateral notes, after the loans made by the North Dakota banks, now closed, are paid, will mean the return of large sums for the benefit of depositors of the closed banks. The amount which event- ualiy will be realized by the depositors of the banks is con- jectural. A very fine service has been rendered the state in this matter. DETROIT Kresge Bldg. MODERN MAN A TOUGH CHAP Wrat is called in building construction the “margin of sefety” must be in the case of the nerves and physical body of human beings a very generous one. The common run of mankind’ seems to be able to endure more than one migh* suppose. We naturally associate physical stamina and endurance with primitive man. We like to think of the aborigine as sleeping on the bare ground with nothing but his war paint to cover him; as being able to go swimming in February. If he took it into his head he could run 100 miles a day, snatch- ing his food—berries and roots—on the run; and at the end; ..of this little jaunt he might be persuaded to make a night of it with his fellow warriors. After which came a wink or} two of sleep. We haven't much exact information, however, on the doings of the aborigine. But a little observation of what modern man and woman can do may lead to the reflection that for sheer energy and endurance the aborigine wasn’t in it with us. What would he have done with the roar-of modern traffic pounding away at his auditory nerve inces- santly for hours? Could have picked his way through the multitudinous throng of shoppers in the downtown section Editorial Review Comments reproduced in 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 beng discussed in the press of the day. ional election of 1920 only 49 per cent of qualified citi- | zens performed their obvious ele toral caty.

Of court this is the year when political slackers are not likely to| be a multitude. Business has vi-| tal interests in the maintenance of | the Constitution and avoidance of | political experiments. None the less, no business man can safely neglect registration and voting be- cause he thinks times are getting better, that the normal and con- servative will again win, and any- way that there will be enough conjured up from heaven knows where to do the voting. The mobilization for the city’s and nation’s welfare which the council of the ways and means committee is promoting calls for a 100 per cent degree of coopera- tion on the part of the civic mili tia and of the great mass of zens to whom an urgent call now addressed. University of Chicago Pres ten by Professor Charles riam, a well-known figure cago government, and Haro Foote Gosnell, instructor in poli- al science in the same institu- tion, is entitled “Non-Voting Causes and Methods of Control.” Here is a study of about 6,000 non: voters made by various devotew students of the social sciences in the University of Chicago, “who spent many warm days. walking the street and climbing stairs in order to establish face to face contacts with non-voters.” The authors of the book found that the ways of controlling non- voting are as numerous as the situations considered. Some are simple and others extraordinarily complex. The authors also found that, in view of the large numb of voters disfranchised by reg tration requirements, it is clear that the whole registration system is in urgent neec! of overhauling. Disbelief in voting, thinks Pro- fessor Merriam and his associates, during the busy hour? The aborigine may have had the fortitude to run 100 miles a day, but did he ever go up and down a flight of stairs 50 times a day, and sweep and dust, and do the dishes, and bake, and darn socks, and go shopping, and entertain 35 members of The Jolly Bunch, and have a dress fitted, and rescue his own offspring from the pugnacious gestures of the neighbors’ children, and stew prunes and prepare chicken salad as if nothing in the world were as important as these two dishes? Did the aborigine in all his splendid vigor ever go through as composite a mess of daily chores as this? Maybe the aborigine had a strong physique and nerves of steel, but the fact that so many of us seem to survive the days’ shocks and strains speaks rather well for our own out- fit of nerve and sinew. Judged by what he can endure, modern man is hardy stock. DROWNED Millions of bathers sported in the surf at Atlantic City this summer. Only two were drowned. Yet swimming is sea where they had come to hunt | the most dangerous sport and as hazardous as any occupa- tion, including dynamite-making. What’s the answer? Adequate protection. Beach guards rescued 774. Here’s the solution for other forms of accidents, especially coal-mining. But adequate protection by “management” cannot do everything. Individual per- sonal caution must be used. Life, of course, can never be made fool-proof. | LOAFING \ Germany has a million unemployed, half of them draw- ing free bread-money from the government. \ These idle men, employed, could produce enough to pay the reparations installments as they come due. The keynote to reparations is in keeping Germans work- ing. By nature of their nation being manufacturing, they cannot all work unless they have big foreign trade. All! claimants agree on this. But the slogan is: “Let Germany! sell to others, not to me.” Tariff bars are Germany’s real Ring of Steel. i VISITS AMERICA | The father of poison gas visits America. He is President Fritz Haber of Berlin. During the war he was Germany’s head war chemist. He says: “Every other country now knows more about poison gas than Germany.” This sounds good—like a man digging a pit for his neighbor and falling into it himself. But in Japan, the professor’s next stop, they will smile and wonder what’s going on in secret in German labora-! tories. She probably could spring a few death-dealing sur- prises right now. g ESKIMO Explorer MacMillan says he found the Eskimos, in their “yeligion, pray only to the evil spirits. They take it for grant- ed that the “good spirits” will be kind to them without re- quest. . in so far as it is based upon op- position to woman's suffrage, witl die away as the community be- comes habituated to woman's vot- ing. It is believed that a pler and shorter ballot, better organ- ization of information regarding the essential issues in campaigns and widespread publicity paigns explaining the technique of voting will all be helpful in over- coming obstacles to the discharge of this duty of the citizen. ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON || Nancy and Nick and the Sand Man stood on the bottom of the for the lost sleepy sand. ! It did seem as though the babies on the earth would have to stay awake all night, for no sooner would the Twins find the sand and start home with it than something would happen and away it would go again. The last thing that happened was that it caught on a mountain top and rolled down and fell into the sea. “Hello, here!” said a little man riding upon a sea-horse. “What’s the matter?” “Oh, sir!” cried Nancy. “We've | jlost the sleepy sand and it’s moon- | up on the earth and the babies can’t go to sleep. We thought per- haps the sand was here some place. It rolled down into the sea.” “We have loads of sand as you can see,” said Captain Penny- winkle, for that was the little sea fairy’s name. “But you may as well try to look for a lost leaf in a forest as to come to the bottom of the sea for sand.” “But it is in a sack,” poor Sand Man. said the “And if it’s any- where near, it will come when you | call it, like a pet dog or cat. ‘All you have to do is to say ‘Iminy Jiminy,’ and there it is right on your shoulder.” i Hardly were the magic words out of the Sand Man’s mouth than the sack of sleepy sand jumped from the place where it had been lying. behind some sea-weed. “Well, well, well!” laughed fat little Captain Pennywinkle. “I certainly am surprised. I never would have thought it. Right rere all the time and nobody knew “Little owls and batlets!” said the Sand Man joyfully. “At last our troubles are over.

And to the horror of the Moon| ;Man and the Dream Maker Man who saw the whole thing, he jump-} ied from the star straight down . toward the earth, and splashed in- ‘to the sea at the exact spot where! jthe Twins and the Sand Man were talking to Captain Pennywinkle.

So claims Warden Whitman of Joliet (Ill.) prison. He predicts: “If Leopold and Loeb are alive 20 years from now, they will have accomplished the miraculous.” How many readers would prefer the death penalty to life imprisonment? Monotony is about the worst thing in life. The worst is loss of liberty. That is, on the basis of physical predicaments, not including catastrophes of the emotions. t The tiger in his circus menagerie cage has it easy com- pared with the cell inmate who has no hope of release. Unlike the tiger, the man has the power to think, which intensifies the incarceration. f Days in the prison workshop; nights ina cramped, barred cell. This is not life. It is a living death. People who are against capital punishment put forward ‘many logical, emotional and otherwise convincing argu- ments. : It is, admittedly, barbaric for the government to take human life. An interesting debate could be arranged, as to whether it isn’t even more barbaric and cruel to lock a man up until death releases him. Small wonder, the average life of a “lifer” is only 10 years. Existence is monotonous enough, at times, even when we have our freedom. On the other hand, there is no such thing as real freedom. We are all prisoners serving life sentence imposed by customs, regulations, the system of economics and the inex- orable laws of nature.

A Thought | et Lead me to the rock that is higher than L—Ps, 6:12, New York, ct, 13—One of the best known hotel managers in New York was born on a farm at Wyom- ing, O., a suburb of Cincinnati, was a traveling salesman with the United States as his territory, and entered the hotel business from his ranch home in Weiser, Ida., a town 40 miles from a railway, with a population of 3500 people. He is Roy Carruthers of the his- toric Waldorf-Astoria. Carruthers, who never had any experience in the hotel business, was chosen in 1915 to manage ‘the Palace and Fairmont hotels in San Fran- cisco because of his nation wide ac- quaintances. He is said personally to know more people than any other man in the land. : In 1918 he first entered business Psychoanalysis and new movements in psychiatry have’ been teaching those persons who have cared to keep in touch just how great an influence in after years incidents of childhood may have.

Westerners are always _ natural and never succumb to the strain under which New Yorkers live.

Every parent knows how many schemes and stunts a child can in- vent to get out of all sorts of work. But, unless a future impress is to be left upon the habits and manners of the child, the parent should start early to teach the necessity of fac- ing the realities; of bumping square upon a problem and facing it out whether the end be marked by suc- » cess or failure. Parents would do well to learn that it is better that a child fail at a task than that he run around the corher to escape it. It is the fear of failure and parental rebuke that to often starts a child in the habit deceiving both parents in “himself. And this is a habit that sticks. sidered by fishermen and farmers for several years, but they were deferred because of the expense involved. The beavers did as good \a job as the average dam builder. BY CONDO THE CONSOLIDATED By ISRAEL KLEIN NEA Service Writer One definite point the world flight has established is the feasi- bility of commercial aviation. Passenger aviation is already an ASSOCIATION, accomplishment. Large swift air- J INCORPORATED, planes are transporting people id iS = a from London to Paris, and = tween other points, while further plans are’ being laid for similar transportation. To have “trucks” flying about the air is still something new, even though the United States is doing this with the airmail. Loads must, still be rather light and extreme care and preparation must’ be made for each trip. The Douglas planes which flew around the Fiobe are really com- mercial airplanes, Their rugged- ness and simplicity, coupled with their additional carrying capacity, make them available for air truck- ing purposes, Advantages That we have succeeded in de- veloping this new kind of trans- portation is pointed out by Alex- ander Klemin, associate professor of aeronautics at New York uni- versity, in BREoMOt ee industries. The fire hagard in aviation has been largely eliminated, he says. Heavy loads could be carried, var- ied climates with their abrupt changes could be negotiated, and the planes prove their speed ca- pacity and endurance. Yet there must be considerable improvement, Professor Klemin as- serts, before commergial aviation can be taken up a_regular means 6f transportation.’ He notes these necessities in the progress of the Douglas planes around the earth, The Liberty motors were the greatest source of trouble.

Better Engine “The engine has always been the main reason for uneasiness. It should be pointed out, however, that while not available in the same quantities, or as cheaply replaced, we have now, engines which far surpass the Liberty in endurance.” Other weaknesses pointed out by Dr. Klemin were in the wings and Po ntoons. With waterproof, ight duralumin covering, rather than their present form of ed linen, the planes could negotiate especially the warmer climates with greater ease. Opposed to these weak points, however, he showed the airplane's fitness so far as its fusilage was concerned, its diminished fire haze ard and its enlarged carrying ca- pacity. ————— SNAKES SUFFER New York, Oct. 18.—Snakes and fish—not polar bears—suffer most from the heat. They are the ones who most feel a rise of the mer- cury, because even though they have been called “cold-blooded” for generations the heat of their bodies rises and falls with the tempera- ture changes.
