THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER | (Established 1873) | (Official City, State and County Newspaper) WELCOME TO LEGISLATORS The citizens of Bismarck will welcome members of the legislature here for their biennial sixty-day session. Bis- marck recognizes a responsibility in her position as the capital city of the state and by her hospitality and acts should endeavor to convince members of the legislature of her sincere desire to live up to the position. A large number of the members of the legislature are | not strangers to Bismarck. They know that the city offers unexcelled hotel facilities for a city of this size. They know that Bismarck citizens will be ready to aid at every turn, that her churches are hospitable and their pulpits occupied by able ministers. They will be able to find rest and recre- ation during their arduous labors in places of interest and places of amusement. Every member of the legislature who has not done so should endeavor to visit the Great Plains Station south of Mandan, ride over the paved road and Mis- souri River bridge, visit the Indian School to see how the government is taking care of its first citizens, visit the peni- tentiary and other points of interest. The legislators will find stores in Bismarck unsurpassed in the Northwest. The Tribune bespeaks for all the citizens of the capital city a most hearty welcome. ASSOCIATION OF COMMERCE MEETING The annual meeting of the Association of Commerce, to be held soon should be attended by every member of that body. The Association should have the unqualified support of business men and other progressive citizens in its organ- ization efforts and in planning for the work of the ensuing year. A liberal response was made by citizens when the Association of Commerce was organized two years ago. Much good has been accomplished through the organiza- tion. Continued cooperative effort in the Association is a necessity for Bismarck, and the organization offers progres- sive citizens a splendid opportunity to help their city and themselves. RADIO INDUSTRY Rad.o is the fastest growing industry in our history. It has swept into general popularity far more quickly than, for instance, the auto. In 1920 the total sales of radio sets and parts amounted to only two million dollars. The next year, this rose to five millions. In 1922 it was 60 millions, which doubled the year following. Sales in 1924 soared to 300 million dollars. Our generation is unique in the way it quickly adopts new devices. Former generations were suspicious of the new. Even the sewing machine was bitterly fought after its perfection. The public believed it would throw seamstresses out of work. ARRESTS INCREASE “The number of arrests for all causes has increased since prohibition. But when analyzed in connection with the in- crease in population, which is five million, the findings are contrary to the accepted belief that we are growing more criminal.” So reasons the World League Against Alcoholism, after studying police records in 300 American cities. As a matter of fact, it is impossible to estimate with any accuracy the relation between prohibition and crime. One thing is certain—booze gets the blame for a lot of crime that originates with cocaine and other forms of dope. NOTHING NEW Nearly all basic problems are “old’ as the hills.” A German scientist finds in an Egyptian tomb a divorce decree that was granted 2000 years ago. It is the oldest known. In those days they also had high cost of living, spend- thrift governments and heavy taxes. Life is a theatrical performance whose plot never ehanges. One generation of actors succeeds another, in an endless chain. The play itself goes on, repeating over and ever. Existence would become very monotonous if we lived several centuries. FLU France has a new kind of flu that puzzles the doctors. It winds up with a badly swollen leg. ; Medical specialists, as usual, will search for the “new” microbe responsible for this ailment. Maybe they'll find ‘it. Maybe they'll discover how to checkmate it. Then a new miscroscopic pest will come prancing along. It would be more effective to search for the thing that causes these innovations in the way of disease. Is it in im- roper living? Or are, the bacteria unknowingly cultured in laboratories along with the bacteria of serums for other maladies? EXPORTS SLOW German. makers of metal ware report that their exports are only two-fifths as much as before the war. B : It might be commercial strategy to “color” such statistics for circulation among competitors, just as it obviously would be strategy for Germany to attempt to prove by the adding machine that she is too poor to pay war reparations. ‘The metal ware makers say that many of their former markets have been closed against them by protective tariffs.

Thay are presented here in order that our readers mi if have both sides important Issues which are discussed in the press of HONESTY WITH PROSPERITY (St. Paul Pioneer-Press) With the return of prosperity to the Northwest, repeated instances of the intrinsic honesty prevalent among the mass of mankind, some- times lost sight of and submerged in a period of distress and depres- sion, are coming to attention. Such instances ag these: A farmer west of the Missouri river returned to a community | from which he had moved and paid a ye full, ote for $2,000 that “was five overaue, with interest in remarking: “I have made you were decent to me; | want to pay my honest debt Or this of an Eddy coun- ty, N. D., farmer who owed $1,700 and whose property when sold un- der the mortgage brought but $700. He returned to the creditor and paid him the $1,000 difference, and did it voluntarily. Or, again, of a farmer who had taken shelter un- der the bankruptcy law, and in- sisted on paying the interest on his loan and arranged to pay the principal, even though the law had | wiped out both. Or of the farmer who entered a store and causec! all kinds of trouble by compelling the exhumation of musty ledgers that he might pay a store bill of five years ago. Or of another who was permitted to remain on a_fore- closea’ farm, to use his ‘ih and machinery, and was advanced seed nd feed and expense money, who from this year’s crop paia every- thing he owed and now owns a three-quarter section farm clear. These are but a few of hundreds of such well authenticated cases. Set alongside the stories of des- peration during the depression per- iod they proved again the economic Jaw that a prosperous ipeople is an honest people. DONT ¢ (Chicago Tribune) The severe cut in the citizens’ miltary training camps recom- mended ‘by the budget bureau is not justified. Forty thousand young men are expected at the camps next year. The ‘budget al- 2,320,000 will provide | y 29,000 men, In 1921 about 10,000 young Amer- ican went to these camps; in 1922 there were 22,000; in 1923 there were 25,000, and in 1924 about 34,- | 000 men. Next year at least 40,- 000 should be provided for. The cut to 29,000 men and a saving of $660,000 is not worth the cost in military effciency and physical and social welfare that the extra train- ing will bring. The citizens’ military training camps have values muci greater than the education in military technique which their name sug- gests. They are training schools of citizenship and socia! discipline. This fact should be consicered in ‘apportioning the (budget. They should be charged not merely to the military system but to the gen- eral national welfare. ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON SNITCHER SNATCH IN THE BEAU- TY PARLOR Nancy and Nick and Johnny Sweep chased out of the door of the grocery store after Snitcher Snatch, the gob- lin, as fast as they could go. But the little fellow was too quick for them. He turned the first corner he came to and disappeared. “Now what do you suppose he'll be doing next!” cried Nancy, stamp- ing her foot. “Oh, look at the three dirty chil- dren!” called out a little boy. “You'd better go home and get washed.” Nancy and Rick and Johnny Sweep ran down the street as fast as they could go. They didn’t’ like to be eall- ed dirty. What was the use of their wash- ing as long as they had to chase up and down chimneys after a naughty goblin, “Well, he’s gone!” cried Johnny | Sweep. “We may as well hop on my broom and see if we can follow his footprints when he gets out of town.” When Snitcher Snatch reached the corner, he stopped for a minute for breath. His long nose was very red} from running so hard. Besides he had bumped it on the swinging door in his hurry to get out. That gave him an idea at once.| For Snitcher Snatch was as Smart! as a college professor, | “I know! I know!” he sang out, doing a heel and toe dance in his joy. | “I'll go to a beauty parlor. There’s| ‘one across the street.” H So he went over and looked in. But you had to go in an elevator and he knew very well that no ele- vator man was going to let a goblin in, “I'll have to go down the chim- ney,” said he. “It's the easiest way | anyway and my nose is safer.” So he scrambled up to the roof by | getting toe-holds on stick-out places. | Then down he slid through the} chimney and there he was—the little | black imp—right inside the beauty parlor! A beauty parlor, my dears, is just what it says. It's to fix you up. You can get your hair shampooed or bobbed, or your nails all cleaned up and shined, or even your skin all smoothed up as good as new, and several other things beside. The goblin blinked his eyes. It was a lovely place, all velvet and satin with soft lamps and green gauze curtains. And oh! It smelled beautiful! Sometimes i nice to have a long nose. Suddenly he gave a start. Sitting in a chair right in front, of him was an elegant lady with her face all plastered with mud! Mud, mind you! She looked a sight. - But even while the ‘goblin’ was \T ask you to dine with me. I am lonely.” “I don’t think it is funny. I think {| Snatch. THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE VA Ni me LETTER FROM SALLY ATHERTON TO BEE SOMMERS, CONTINUED “What's the joke?” asked Mr. John| Alden Prescott in his stateliest puri- tanical manner. He made me think of his mother and I laughed harder than ever, but knowing that he should have a few things explained to him, I said: “Iam laughing at you.” Of course you know how a’ man hates to be laughed at. He was furi- ous at me. “I really can’t understand, Mrs. Atherton,” he remarked coldly, “just why you should think it funny when you imagine anything more ridicu- lous than for you and me to go out to dinner together tonight?” He drew himself up and tried to look through me—he is tall and good looking—and cuttingly said: “I fail to understand you?” “I don’t expect you do. When you are angry you forget everything else, even the English language. “But you went out to dinner with me in Albany?” he remonstrated. “That was entirely a different pro- position.

Surely you must understsind that you owe something to your new position if not to either Leslie or me. To be seen out with you now would ruin my reputation, break up my friendship with Leslie and hurt her dreadfully. “None of these things do I want.” His Highness was so angry he could not speak, so he stalked out of the room and slammed the door. (Copyright, 1924, NEA Service, Inc.) staring at her another person came along and said, “Mrs. Smith, you're all done now. The beauty clay is dry and I'll take it off.” And when the clay came off, there was Mrs, Smith as good as ever, her face as clean and pink as a fresh rose. “Well, I never,” gasped Snitcher “That's the first time I ever heard of mud making your face clean!” Then he had another thought. A terrible one! “Oh, Jimminy! he said to himself. “I know some lovely mischief I can get into. If only that Sweep and the Twins don’t find me for awhile, I can have a lot of fun.” And he went up the chimney again, humming a happy tune. (To Be Continued) (Copyright. 1924, NEA Service, Inc.)

Rwrllians, DECISION OF SUPREME COURT From Ward County The St. Paul Trust and Savings Bank, a corporation, : Plaintiff. Snelling Realty Company, a corporation, assignee of the plaintiff, Appellant. vs. Jourgen Olson, et al, Defendants. Jourgen Olson, Respondent. SYLLABUS: 1. Pending an appeal by the de- fendant in an action to foreclose on certain real property, the Supreme Court ordered that the sale on exe- cution of the property involved be stayed and postponed until after the final disposition of the,,cause. The judgment appealed from was affirm- ed, but the court expressed a doubt as to the propriety of the sale on the postponed date and ordered that appellant might, if he so desired, ap- ply to the district court for the pub- lication of a new notice of sale. Such application was made and condition- ally denied, and the sale had.. Held that the trial court, having denied the application for a new sale and having ordered the sale to proceed, thereby exhausted its discretion un- der the mandate of the Supreme Court, and the sale, having been made, must be treated and consider- ed the same as any other sale of real property on execution. 2.. Section 7752, C. L,.1913, pro- viding for the confirmation of a sale on execution, contemplates an ex parte application only, and the court may look no further than the face of the return. If it appear therefrom that the proceedings were regular, then the sale must be confirmed. 8. Whether a sale on execution shall be set aside is a matter which rests in the sound discretion of the lower court and the court’s action in that regard will not be disturbed unless an abuse of discretion be shown. 4. Mere inadequacy of price will not, in the absence of exceptional cir- cumstances, warrant the setting aside of an execution sale. 5.

"MUNDAY, JANUARY 9, 1 By Albert Apple ee, Clarence Darrow, the lawyer, says: “There is neither LIVE we were going, we could pick out the road. But so far-as science, philosophy or history can throw any light on the subject, we are not going anywhere and there’s no purpose.” Darrow is wrong. There is a purpose behind this jourhey we call life, though it may not be revealed to us this side of the grave. Life is a spiritual gymnasium. : Pain, troubles, burdens, disappointments, heartaches—al bag and Indian clubs are to the athlete. Life is a training for a future existence. Some even believe that life is a prison in which we art punished for sins of a former life. Darrow continues: “You can make nothing else of man but man. i Selfish, mean, aggressive, tyrannical, pr hopeless to change men: I don’t care how much environ-\{ Heredity and not environment shapes the human race.” This may be true of some men, but not of all men. Nor’ e ‘it true of man collectively, man as an institution in cre- ation. We know Darrow personally. We know that he is neither! selfish, mean, nor tyrannical. He is aggressive; nature has destined to do. i Prejudiced? Apparently. And who is not? Yet pre- I against the character of the individual. just another name for ignorance. For prejudice is’ And you cannot blame Darrow is a deep thinker. But his reasoning is shallow when he asserts that “Heredity and not environment shapes the human race.” If heredity alone shaped humanity, there would be no evolution, no change—for. al]. generations would be alike, with each new generation unable to advance beyond its inheritance. We are less influenced by heredity than by the gaps in heredity—the evils that gradually die out. Torture, for in- stance. Human nature does change, though slowly. The average of humanity becomes better, and this is apparent to any on® who does not try to make isolated exceptions the rule. Ar intangible spiritual leadership is guiding us through the ages. Compared with it, heredity and environment are minor fac- tors in the evolution of man’s nature.
