McKeever, prominent educator, in connection with the propaganda for the ratification of the child labor amendment has a very timely article in a recent number of the Dearborn Independent. He emphasizes the necessity of -work forthe growing youth. As students of the modern trend in education must note, there is an over-emphas upon play. We are concerned more with play and recreation for the youth than about his career and service to the com- In some class rooms studies are referred to as “games” and taught in the spirit of play rather than with a determination that subjects are something to be mastered and known thoroughly. Employers know the failings of the average high school student who seeks an office position. Their first demand is for a man‘s wage whether qualified or not. A majority of them are inaccurate at the commonest kind of figures and spelling seems almost a lost art. The multiplication table has given way to the “play method” of teaching fig- ures. The pendulum has swung about far enough and the reaction should soon set in and the time come when it is no disgrace to do some of the tasks which our parents did. Through the discipline of chores and work more progre: was made than is now the case through play and recreation and under the tutelage of the “moral” and welfare uplifters. To quote the McKeever article which is headed: “Is It A Crime to Make Boys Work?:” “After more than a quarter-century of experience as an educator, | am free to say that there is mething funda- mentally the matter with the national drive for the child labor law. “Unfortunately there is connected with it a sentiment of mushy mollycoddlism and a threat of national ennui. “What we need today far more is a national movement for teaching all the growing young to work—not to produce money or goods or-gain but character. “The typical high school age of today is a generation of seft ‘baby beef? physically-under-exercised, under muscled and over-fatigued by poison toxins which percolate into the tissues of their soft, loose flesh. “They deserve a better fate at our hands. “But instead of giving physical development the training in common industry which their growing bodies require, we head thera in the opposite direction. » “We ure teaching them to loaf and to regard it a national exime for any one to ask them to work. “The ability to work with the hands and the whole body is one of the God-given prerogatives of the young. Experi- ence in the great trunk-line industries, such as producing food from the soil, manufacturing as an amateur, handling and transporting goods, bartering in common materials and business traffic—that is what every growing boy and girl in America needs today far more than they need:-national laws to keep them from learning to work. “You cannot break a boy to work after he is sixteen and make him like it. You cannot even season and strengthen the fibre of his body so that he can endure work happily and resist fatigue, if you permit him to reach sixteen as an un- developed idler. “Mark you,-I am unalterably opposed to commercialized child labor; so is everybody else. Children need to be taught to work for the sake of their health and happiness and self reliance. They need to work with their hands to experience that delightful sense of belonging to common humanity.” . It is only necessary, to read the lives of the successful men to appreciate this kind of sound doctrine. Their careers were not hedged in or circumscribed by any bureau of child labor with its army of' idealists and zealots. Immigrant boys landing on the shores of America, thirteen and fourteen years of age often become leaders in many fields of endeavor through hard work and sacrifice. The present generation should have the same opportunity, unless we are to develop a race of “softies.” MAINTAINING CAPITOL GROUNDS The budget provided for the maintenance of the North Dakota state capitol and grounds has been reduced in one branch of the legislature. It unfortunately appears likely that the budget as finally adopted will not provide sufficient funds to restore the capital grounds to their former beauty or in keeping with the dignity of the state. Bismarck cit zens are loathe to voice their sentiments to members of the legislature, because of the location of the capitol here. But they know that if the legislature should hold a session in Bismarck during the summer, when hundreds of tourists North Dakota state capitol and carry away with them an impression of carelessness and poverty of the state, they would not hesitate to take steps to see that the capitol grounds are maintained in fitting manner. ‘ The tourist travel on the Red Trail brings thousands of visitors to Bismarck every summer. They carry away a lasting impression of the state from the appearance of its apitol and capitol grounds, much as a housewife often is judged by the first appearance of her house. All the efforts of the immigration department cannot check some of the advertising given the state by the appearance of the fcapitol and grounds to these visitors. RAW OYSTERS AND TYPHOID They are forbidding raw oysters in Chicago, on account the danger of typhoid. There are parts of the world jere raw water has to be forbidden, for the same reason. lew York and Chicago, raw water is safe, because public jorities make it so. Making raw oysters safe ig even Feasier, and much cheaper. Good business, if nothing else, wht to guarantee that typhoid oysters shall become as impoasible in civilized American cities as typhoid water al- enone ose Kresge Bldg. | Editorial Review : Comments reproduced in this column may or may not express the opinion of The Tribune.

A wise man never throws rocks at a policeman or laughs when his wife catches him in a lie. Man has a new substitute for tea and coffee, but tea and coffee pack- ers have been using substitutes for years. Some of the,coal dealers should mend their weighs. Trouble with saying it with flow- ers is you fhust keep repeating. |, One thing about a crowded street car is it ig much warmer. ‘The diplomatic thing to say when she is dieting is, “Are you trying to reduce your weight or gain weight?” Uneasy lies the head that wears a frown. Practice makes perfect, but who wants to be a perfect liar? As a rule, as you look so are you looked upon.

(Copyright, 1925, NEA Service, Inc.) | | ae New York, Jan, 27.—Piracy flour- ishes in New York harbor, right un- der the noses of harbor police and government cutters, ss In New York | though on salary with the THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE Ui There generally are three barges lashed together and pulled by a tug with a tow-line a hundred yards long, Each barge has a crew of one “captain.” ‘Thus these barges are eusy prey for swift-moving boats which come alongside under cover of darkness. They lash to the barge and four or \five men go aboard.’ After cowering the barge “captain” with guns the men shovel from 10 to 20 tons of coal into their own boat and — steal away. They bootleg the coal at less than market prices and have no trouble in finding purchasers. Piracy is defined as a crime of the high seas. This matter is puzal- ing legal officials pursuing the coal thieves. If they operate in. New York harbor they are not on the “high seas.” Yet in every other re- spect their crime is that of piracy. The sentence for piracy is death. The crime of stealing coal without the piratical elements ‘is only lar- ceny, There is no record of the death sentence for stealing from boats in the harbor, but one man was > sentenced to 40 years. In and about the various tables” of newspapermen one hears many tales of William Winter, the famous and belaved dramatic critic. Jim Peede, who has known: all the figures of the stage for two de- cades, told me the other day of Win- ter’s method of doing business “round Evening Post, Winter was allowed to write reviews for out-of-town papers. He had a fixed charge of $25 a re- view, When William Faversham op- ened in New York in 1912 a Chicago paper wired Winter, “Will pay $100 for review Faversham show.” Win- ter answered, “Will review show if you pay $26.” At the entrance of the Belmont race track on Long Island is a mag- nificent Tudor Gothic mansion which is unoccupied all but 83 days during the year. Those days are 20 of the spring and 13 of the fall racing sea- son at the track. But during those days a throng of 700 to 800 men and women eat their luncheons there and then attend the races in their own reserved sections of the grand stand. The estate belongs to the. Turf and Field Club. Some of its members stay at the mansion overnight so} that they may be up in the morning to watch the early try-outs of the horses.

The Teething Period Mae {Lu BE GLAD WHEN Ts 1s The Tangle LETTER FROM LESLIE PRES TO THE LITTLE MARQUISE, CARE THE SECRET DRAW- ER, CONTINUED You see, litt\ Marquise, I had the idea that a womag forgiving a man for his own sins against her was an exploded notion, in these days of woman’s independence. My dear mother, however, told me something entirely different. “I have found fsom both my own and my friends’ experience,” she said, “that the most successful wives are al- ways the first ta make up a quar- rel your husband fit your ideal, recon- struct your ideal, my dear, so that it will fit your husband. Jack is an average man, not very profound, not at all scholarly. You are cleverer than hg, Therefore there is no rea- son why you should’ not dominate the situation and make him perfectly happy while doing so.” “I despise a woman who tries to manage her husband,” I said with contempt. “You have heen trying to do this in a manner which is perfectly -ob- vious and odious to Jack ever since you have been married.” 1 gasped and tried to speak, but mother went on quietly. “The wife who is wise will manage her hus- band for his happiness and, there never was a happy and harmonious marriage that a wife did not man- age her husband, but ia such a way that he did not know. That has. been the beauty of woman ever since Eve managed to get Adam out of the Garden of Eden and put’him to work where she knew he would be hap- pier than lazily wondering if” he had better eat of the tree of knowledge.” “But I don’t want to drop to sub- terfuge,” I retorted hotly. “I onty want perfect understanding.” “Oh, no you don’t,” she interrupt- ed, “for if he did understand you, you would be most uncomfortable. Be thankful that your husband does nothing of the kind and never will. iven the best of men, my dear child, have, down in their hearts, a feeling of superiority to women. It has been engrained in them by his- tory and tradition until it has be- ost. biological, Very few men can bring themsel ou know, to acknowledge, to an inferior, that they ure wrong.” I must have looked greatly dis- gusted, little Marquise, for mother id with a smile: “Oh, my dear, I am sure you ure quite as bad as the rest in this primitive feminine trait. Confess that you too at times have cuddled up in Jack’s arms and been magnanimously forgiven far some sin or folly that he has committed himself.” “Mother,” I interposed. “I never knew that you could be sarcastic; at least when talking to’ your own daughter.” “I am not sarcastic, but truthful, my dear. I am saying all this to you because I want you to realize that you are on the wrong track and if you keep on it you will be very un- loving ‘will be gone.

Rowell Nine days Lucifer fell, and must have arrived at the Pit with a fairly accelerated velocity. i But in this, as in some other respects, -the Fallen One was much too slow for the present age. The automobile and the airplane have long distanced the deer and the dove, once the symbols of speed. And now we are racing with sound and. harnessing the wings of light. A modern projectile outstrips the noise of its own flight, and airplanes are contemplated which would need to be only 50 per cent faster to do the same thing. Our successors may pause before landing, to listen to themselves coming in behind. And even the 186,000 miles a second of radiant energy is no longer a theoretical figure in a book, but a practical fact in daily use. y If it’ were possible to be heard by speaking tube from Chicago to New York, the greeting “hello” would take: an hour to arrive, and the answering .“yes” another hour to return. Conversation would be punctuated by two-hour intervals between sentences. Instead, our greetings ride the ether- waves in a three-hundredth of a second. The announcer’s voice takes longer to go from his lips to the microphone than from-the microphone to the receiver across the continent. Your son thinks nothing of tuning in a harmonic beat wave of 50,000 a second, on an incoming frequency of 1,- 000,000 cycles. And he knows what this means, too, if you don’t. It is-as practical a part of his life as hames and surcingles were of yours. We have outpaced everything but thought— and sometimes even that grows dizzy. When one authority told us there would be no more gasoline in a dozen years, we were concerned; but when an- other reassured us that we were safe for a century,, we ceased to care. If the world will last until we’ and our children are dead, that is long enough. We are lumbering the forests on that basis, and coming pretty near to it in the mining of copper. We have been breeding -humans:on exactly that basis for acentury. At the present rate, the world will be overpopu- lated in another hundred years. That’ is too far ahead to bother about. But is it? We are the inheritors not of a hundred, but of thousands of years of the work of our an- cestors. The exhaustion, not merely of oil and lumber and of some met- als, but of coal and iron and the food capacity of the earth, is not farther ahead than we can already look back. If we are the heirs of ages of ac- cumulation, there are at least as many ages to inherit our destruction. If our ancestors 5000 years ago had so devastated the earth as to make it unfit for civilized habitation, we should not have been civilized. We are busy doing just that for our descendants no further ahead. For our own affairs, we have 20 or 50 or 70 years to reckon with. As temporary custcdians of the physical earth, we should reckon with the ages, lest ‘our successors have chiefly to reckon with us. dreamed ‘he was around. Oh, dear!

That was the nearest he could come, for already he was a cat. A big black Tom with green eyes and an archéd back and claws like fish hooks. “Mi-a-ow! ’ Mi-our!!
