YOUR BALLOT Every citizen is given the privilege‘of casting his ballot in Tuesduy’s election. In the last presidential election 26,- 632,614 votes were cast, where 54,189,515 were entitled to vute. Thus, 27,556,901 citizens did not vote, and the Pres- ident of the United States was elected by a minority vote. It is natural that one should feel that his vote does not count, but many important elections in the nation have been decided by one vote. Regardless of whether the vote “counts” it is the duty, as well as the privilege, of every citizen to vote. There has been a heavy registration in Bismarck and in ciher cities in the state. There is provision whereby a qualified voter may cast his ballot if not registered. The polls are open from 9 a. m. to 7 p. m. and it requires but a tcw minutes to go to the polling places and cast one’s ballot. A nation-wide campaign is being made to get out a full vote. The slogan is “Vote—vote as you please, but vote.” It is 2 worthy slogan. It is a worthy effort to attempt to get out a full vote. It is to be hoped that every eligible voter in the state of North Dakota will register his honest conviction at the polls Tuesday. The “REACTIONARY” SUPREME COURT The Republican Association of War Veterans, in a leaflet p ‘nts out some of the laws passed by the national Congress which have been declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, and which, under Senator LaFollette’s proposal, Con- gress could enact over the veto of the high court. Congress passed a law to try men twice for the same offense. The Supreme Court held this law unconstitutional. Congress passed a law to take private property for public use wichout paying for it. The Supreme Court declared this act unconstitutional. Congress passed a law to authorize cruel and inhuman punishment. This was held invalid. Congress passed a law imposing religious qualification | for public office The law was vetoed by the high court. Congress passed a law to imprison a man without trial yy jury. The supreme court found this law not in accord with the guarantees of liberty given in the Constitution. Congress passed an ex post facto law; that is, making an act a crime that not a crime at the time it was done. The court held this law was not Constitutional. A legislative body, in the heat of political conflict or passion, might again attempt to make such proposals the law of the Jand, did the Supreme Court not have the power, after due deliberation, to find them contrary to the spirit of the fundamental law of the land. FORUM In ancient democracies, politicians argued their respec- tive merits before the populace assembled in the town mar- ketplace or other open space serving as a forum. Any man who could hear and think could get al? the facts. Now the politician reaches the public through the print- ed columns of newspapers, magazines and circulars. A man who can’t read gets his political information secondhand. Can such a man be trusted with the ballot? New York, de- cided in the negative, says: ‘No read, no vote.” FEAR? So far this year Americans have taken out an average of 675 million dollars of life insurance a month. A genera- tion ago this would have indicated a national epidemic or pandemonic fear. Now it reflects just. good horse sense. Edu- cat:pnal advertising and personal sales talks have made the meoule realize that insurance—bettirig you’ll die sooner than the company thinks you will—is protection plus a scientific | system of systematic savings. would not save otherwise. Hundreds of thousands “HOTTEST HEAT” : Ten seconds devoted to science: Our sun’s temperature is only 10,000 degrees. Nature’s “hottest heat” (some of the stars) is only 40,000 degrees. A temperature of 60,000 2es is produced in a laboratory by Dr. Wendt of Penn- syivania State College. Merely scientific play. No. Dr. Wendt, using this terrific heat, hopes to release the stupen- dous energy blocked up in atoms. covery’s value will depend on the cost of the process. must be cheaper than coal. REJECTED Eighteen thousand citizens in New York state will not be allowed to vote this year. The reason? They flunked the literacy tests./ New York has a state law by which a *wouidbe voter must demonstrate that he can read and write ag_veadily as the average child who has finished six years ‘in ‘school. Technically, this may not be democracy. But many think it is common sense, a protection against government by ignorance. ~ It ALCOHOL You could run your auto with alcohol instedd of gasoline. But aicohol costs an average of 75 cents a gallon. Obviously, 75 cents is the top-notch price beyond which “gas” cannot rise, since motorists would turn to alcohol. Gradually we are building up an intricate system of checks and balances. Substitutes in time may hold the cost of living within bounds. s ‘ 1 TODAY This day 30, Americans are killed or injured at railroad grade crossings, if today is only an average day.

Two queries have been submitted to the board. is essential to the health of this great and rapidly growing city to di- | vert from Lake Michigan into the canal of the sani district 10,000 cubic feet of water a second, andj whether the compensatory stem proposed by the sanitary district | would be a practicable means of | maintaining the great lakes at their proper level and thus satisfying the! objections of Canada and American lake ports. Chicago earnestly desires to know | the correct answers to these ques- | tions. It naturally hopes that the findings of the experts will support the conclusions of the sanitary board, Such a result would materially aid the board in protecting the sanitary interests of the city before congress | and the United States supreme court. | If the report of the engineers is! adverse Chicago will adjust itself to | their conclusions to the best of its! ability H ADVENTURE OF | THE TWINS || BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON —_——————_____. ___! While Nancy and Nick and Duddy! Gander were watching the King of | Yum Yum Land eating the wonder- ful dinner that the magic fork and the magic teapot provided, things were not going so well in the palace. The peddler sat on the throne in the king’s place, with the king's crown on his head and the king's golden stick in his hand and the king's velvet robe over his shoul- ders. But nobody can be a king if he is a peddler at heart and the peddler was 4 mean peddler to begin with. On top of that he was having indi: gestion, for the cook still sulk- ing and serving horrible meals from | the kitchen. “I should at least have been made Royal Keeper of the Bird Cages,” the cook kept saying over and over again to himself. “After 1 have to be a cook, I am going to take it easy. I'm not going to fix a thing that I don't have to.” So for dinner he had cold mutton und salty potatoes, and tough beans, und horrid pie with a soggy crust. And really the coffee was like dish- water. When the peddler went into the royal dining room und sat down at the royal table in the royal chair, he | smacked his lips (having been brought up with no manners at all) | and tucked his napkin under his chin | (which also showed that he had been | brought up with no manners) and thumped his knife and fork on the table. “Bring on the food!” he command- | ed. “I’m not going to be a king for nothing. See to it that dinner is | served at once.” So the Lord High Butler told the Second Lord High Butler, who told | to tell the cook that the new king | was pounding for his dinner. ! So in came the cold mutton and | the salty potatoes and the tough beans, and the horrid pie. it because he thought perhaps that | was the kind of food kings had. But | he made a sour face. and when he | was through he looked like a barrel of vinegar. To make things worse he began to have a stomach ache about fifteen | minutes after dinner, because really | the pie was awfully soggy. | | So while the cook was sulking in | the kitchen, the peddler was sulking on the throne, and wondering whose head he'd better chop off first. He decided on the cook. But the Lord High This and That told the Lord High Thus and So and he told it on down, until the cook heard of it. “Woe is me!” he cried. “Pil have to go and hunt up the magic fork and magic teapot if I “What a goose I was, to part with the magic fork and teapot for a mere kingdom. I must get them back.” And away he strode, robe, crown and all.

At least my son John might have sent me the money so that if I thought best I could have made the journey. But not a word from him or anyone else. John has grown so forgetful of m¢ lately, however, that not having a purticularly thoughtful wife to keep him in the path of duty, I was ‘not surprised that he did not remember me.

I presume Leslie, that you think I am rather unsympathetic in this letter.

There are sev- eral dance halls in the neighborhood of Third avenue and Thirty-fourth street patronized exclusively by Oriental men and white women. The men are Filipinos, Japs and a few Hawaiians. ‘ ‘Around midnight you see them leaving, the white girls on the arms of yellow men. The men as a rule are dressed. in the latest cake-eater styles. Many of them wear sideburns, in the Valentino manner. No one is admitted to these dance halls except the Orientals who are members. of an operating club and the white women who are employed as dancing partners. There are 30 such dance halls in Greater New York and they are known as “closed” halls. Several in Brooklyn are op- erated exclusively by Chinese. In all there are 288 dance halls in the city. The paid admissions in 1923 totalled more than 6,100,000, Some of the Broadway dance halls which accommodate hundreds of couples have scores of “hostesses.” Men who attend without girls pay ten cents a dunce when they dance with a ‘hostess. She receives four cents of that. In one of the ballrooms of a higher order men pay 35 cents to dance with a hostess, She receives 26 cents of that sum. Tips are not nearly so frequent and liberal as they are gen- erally.expected to be. Much of the dancing patronage tn mid-town comes from lonesome visit- ors, hotel transients who know ho- body here and in their loneliness turn to the dancé hall. No matter how well a professjonal dancing partner might like a casual acquaintance, her association with him is limited to the dancing floor. She would lose her job if she were found making appointments with pa- trons outside the dance hall. * 2 Many .strange things from many strange lands are to be seen along New York’s waterfront where ships from the seven seas gather.
