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 LEAVING BOB (Waterloo, Iowa, Courier) An event of considerable signi- ficance in Iowa politics is the res- ignation of A. W. Maxwell, Cedar Rapids, from his post as member of the LaFollette state central committee from the Fifth congres- sional district. Maxwell was a personal appoin- tee of President ‘Roosevelt to the public land office in Oklahoma and four times a member of the na-| tional Republican committee. He has been active in the LaFollette ! movement in Iowa, but hag now] renounced it. In doing so, he said: “I am thoroughly out of har-| mony with the inefficient manage- | ment of the movement of some of | those occupying high places in the | confidence that I am impelled to the dictates of my conscience to repudiate the of Senator LaFollette | movement in its entirety. | “The campagin thus far has: RED CROSS DRIVE Bismarck’s annual Red Cross drive or roll call will start Thursday, October 16, and continue for three days. There should be a ready response to the various teams which will start out Thursday morning under the leadership of R. H. The work of the Burleigh county Red Cross Chapter has been reiterated so many times in these columns that it is hardly necessary to repeat the many functions it performs ' in rommunity welfare. “Sign up for the whole faily” is to be the slogan of the campaign and Bismarck should do as it always does go over tre top in the matter of memberships. This county has al- ways supported the Red Cross society loyally and there is everv indication that history will repeat itself in the drive which is about to be launched. THE JUVENILE BAND Slightly more than a year ago, the Bismarck Juvenile band was launched under the leaderhip of the Association of Commerce in cooperation with the Board of Education. 1 © Sorlein was secured as a leader and immediately began the hard task of securing children to enter band work. His efforts are being rewarded. There are now in process of * training a senior band, a second or junior band and a begin- nevs’ band. Two of these bands are really but stepping stones to the senior band. As fast as Mr. Sorlein whips them into shape, members of the beginners’ bands and junior , De. e graduated into the senior band. i It is the senior band which will make its third appear- ance in a formal concert at the Auditorium next Thursday evening A packed house should greet the youthful musi cians who have been practicing strenuously to give a credit- able performance. Their efforts should be rewarded. This , is a civic enterprise backed by the entire citizenry of Bis- marck and it should be given wholehearted support. Proceeds from this concert will be used to defray the: expenses of music and to pay the portion of the conductor's salary which has been assumed by the Association of Com- merce. drive and every businessman is asked to take as many tickets as he can. The band played several times last summer on the court house lawn and their work was favorably re- ceived. If the band is supported sufficiently in the future it is planned next summer to give weekly concerts throughout the entire season. Get behind the band so that there may be developed here a@ most creditable juvenile organization which after all is nothing more than one feature of the educational work under the supervision of the school authorities. CAUSED A WAR In 1784 Jefferson’s Ordinance, which would have prohib- ited slavery in Tennessee, Alabama and Mississippi, was defeated by only one vote. Read Von Holst’s “Constitutional History of the United States,” where he shows that if Jef- ferson’s Ordinance had won instead of losing by one vote, it might have prevented the Civil War that came later. In 1832 Virginia’s General Assembly considered a plan to colonize African slaves—wipe out negro slavery. It won in the House by 79 to 41. But in the Senate it lost by one vote. Ail through our history, one vote has frequently deter- mined the action of legislatures and congresses. So, too, the lone vote of one citizen may determine the election of a congressman or other public official—even the president. Vote without fail! Vote without fail! fail! YOUR vote is needed! vote is needed! Vote without YOUR vote is needed! YOUR FOUR EYES | When you go for the first time to have your measure taken for glasses, it is vastly irritating to watch the chart of the oculist and realize that you can’t read all the letters, row after row. The F’s and the R’s and the E’s look alike, and the V’s and the Y’s fool you. You need glasses, all right, and you know in your heart that you should have been in long before. Why do so many more folk wear glasses now than did a generation ago? Well, there are two reasons, a bad one and a good one. The bad reason is that the nervous strain on which our lives are ordered nowadays hits most of us in the same place—the eyes. They give out. Nature has given her toll for abuse. And most of us do abuse our eyes scan- dalously. The good reason is that a generation ago most people suffering from defective vision didn’t know it. We said a boy in school was stupid, while often he was merely suffer- ing from eyestrain. We’re wiser now. More common sense arrives in the world every year. Maybe some day humanity will have enough of it to stop abusing its eyes. TIMES So far this year, railroads have handled, roughly, 32 cars of freight for every 34 cars in the corresponding period of last year and 28 in 1922. Times are getting better, and the roads lately have been moving almost as much freight as a year ago. When freight moves on a big scale, business men are getting ready for heavy trading—general prosperity. GAIN Our country’s exports to South America this year have averaged around 24 million dollars a month. It’s a very tisfactory gain over 1923. : Unfortunately, South America has been selling us $27 |to see that its moving principles ‘ete flag.

He likes to tease them and that is why he wants to get the sleepy sand from the Sand Man. “Well, we shall have to catch him,” said Captain Pennywinkle, turning his sea-horse sharply to give some commands to his Wigglefin | people, “Electric-light fishes, come here,” he cried. ; All the electric-light fishes came swimming up and really it was so bright under the sea with so much light'n everything, that it looked like ‘a hundred automobile headlights all coming at you at once. “Go everywhere,” commanded the sea-captain fairy, “and light up all ‘the sea-caves, and sea-rocks, and sea- weed forests, and sea-mountains, un- til there won’t be a single dark place left for Tweekanose to hide in. And tell everyone you meet to keep his eyes open.” “Aye, aye, sir!” said all the oblig- ing electric-light fishes. “We will go at once.” N ext the sea-captain fairy called al 1 the lobsters. “Go to all parts of the ‘sea,” he commanded. “And if you see Tweek- anose, catch him by the toe and send me word.” “Aye, aye, sir!” said the lobsters crawling off as fast as they could go. Next Captain Pennywinkle called the whales, * “Go and pull up all the sea-trees by the roots,” he said, “and destroy all the hiding places in ¢ , “Aye, aye, sir!” said ¢ wagging their tails and starting off. Next he called the squids. “Got your ink-bottles along?” he asked, “Right here, sir-” said all squids waving their arms. “Then follow the whales and the lobsters. If they catch Tweekanose, spill your ink in the water and mak+ it all black so he can’t get away.” Next he called the horse-shoe crabs. “Bring three good fast sea-horses, the g0,” he said. “Aye, aye, sir!” said the horse-shoe crabs crawling away to the stable for sea-horses. By and by they came back. At Captain Pennywinkle’s order, the Twins and the Sand Man jumped on the sea-horses, The sea-horses uncurled their funny tails and flapped their little fins (which looked like wings) and away they all swam to see if they could catch Tweekanose and get the I revival, but you magic sleepy sand.

Everything in existence deteri- orates, THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE Stumped Next thing you know everybody will be talking about Christmas. They have been saying jazz music was done with for about three years, but it isn’t played out yet. Lots of fellows stand around and make excuses while lots of other ! fellows are making a success. The railroad crossing kills almost as many as double crossing. You can’t kiss a girl these days who doesn’t know how. Statistics say there is a business don’t hear much shouting. If ignorance were bliss all grouches would be happy. the The coal bin is a has-bin no long- er; now it’s a hasn’t-bin, Open minds and open mouths don’t go together. When a man starts out to make a fool of himself he always finds a crowd eager to help him. We must take our hats off to win- ter, and get new ones.

MANDAN NEWS HENKE MANAGES COMPANY Following a meeting of the stock- holders of the Mandan Transfer company Saturday announcement was made today of the selection of H. L Henke as manager of the conceri to succeed the late A. W. Farr, founder and manager. Mr. Henke assumed charge of the company’s affairs this morning. He has had many years experience in the coal and wood sales business as well as in teaming” contracting and the stockholders were pleased at his acceptance of the offer to assume charge. ELKS ANNIVERSARY Mandan Lodge No. 1256 B. P. O. Elks will observe the 13th anniver- sary of the founding of the order in 1911, at a big home coming session to be held Tuesday evening, October 14. The lodge has grown from a charter list of only a few dozén in 1911 to more than 350 at the present LETTER FROM JOHN ALDEN PRESCOTT TO MRS. SALLY ATHERTON Dear Mrs, Atherton: You will {doubtless be surprised when you see | this letter to find I have decided to ‘send my resignation to the Acme Ad- | vertising Company to take effect the | first of next month. You of course iknow I had decided that under no j circumstances would I accept my father-in-law's proposition to come here and manage his steel plant. I remember you approved of my de- cision, That approval made me very happy, for you doubtless ure aware by this time, without my telling you, that I have come to depend greutly on your approval of my opinions and decisions. Indeed, I think some of my decisions in the last few months have depended upon your confirmation. ! You will remember how we both \decided that it would be very un- profitable for my part to accept the management of the plant, for as you said, Mr. Hamilton was such an ag- gressive man, he would not be able to leave it all to me; he would be forever butting in. However, when I arrived here I found that circumstances had changed the whole aspect of the matter. Instead of wanting to make me manager while he was taking a rest, I found that Mr. Hamilton knew he would never be able to work again, and that within the next few days he was going to his long rest. He had been impatiently awaiting my coming, for the doctor had in- formed him some days ago that he ‘could only count his life by days, ;Perhaps hours. I think he has lit- jerally kept himself alive until he could talk to me. This morning my father-in-law and I had a long and very confidential EVERETT TRUE The Tangle ° talk; and if I can at the end of my days look back upon a life as well spent as his, I shall not worry about my future destination. Mr. Hamilton has made me the sole executor of his estate, and he has appointed me manager of the steel plant in his place. You know he has 61 per cent of all the stock and can do this. He has even fixed my salary at fifty thousand dollars a year. I really do not know what { shall do with ;so much money, par- ticularly as Leslie will have quite an income of her own. He has made little Jack equal ben- eficiary with his own two children of the income of his estate, which is not to be divided until the death ,of his wife, when her third will be distributed between any grandchild- ren that may be living at the time. Ten per cent of all net income is to be distributed to charity each year. I am telling you all this, my dear Mrs. Atherton, because I want you to understand that under no circum- stances could I have refused Mr. Hamilton's request. First, of course you know, I am bound to him by not only ties of friendship but I stand in place of one of the sons he never had. It was up to me to see that his wife and daughters had the share he wished them to have in the the rewards of the work he has done so well. On this account if for no other reason have I accepted his trust and will try to carry it on. (Copyright, 1924, NEA Service, Inc.)

GERMANS BUILD PLANES Berlin, Oct. 14—Germany plans to lead the world in the construction of giant aircraft, built throughout of lightweight metal alloys, for long flights on globe-circling routes.

They telegraph to Philadelphia, Chi- cago or Cleveland for gunmen. They designate the man they want killed and pay the killer $200, or less.

Like the second generations of Jewish, Italian, German and Russian immigrants, * these Chinese youths have been spoiled by indulgent parents who never knew anything but ambition and work when they came over here. The Chinese gunman is not an ex- pert shot. “They shoot like girls,” says De- tective Authur Lavery, “They al- ways use automatics. They hold them out at the side, their arms stiff, close their eyes and pull the trigger. They move the gun in an arc and thus get a sweeping fire, depending on luck to get their man.” Lavery knows all about that. Tom Fong shot at Lavery that way the other day, emptying his pistol but failing to hit Lavery. Lavery shot Fong through the lung with one shot. In one skirmish 30 shots were fired from behind drawn curtains. Win- dows were broken, but nobody was shot.
