PLAIN FACTS ABOUT NORTH DAKOTA Attention is called to the page in today’s issue devoted to a statement of this state’s resources and advantages from the pen. of J. M. Devine, state immigration commissioner. It is the right kind of publicity and should focus attention upon the advantages of North Dakota. The Tribune is send- ing a number of extra copieé to centers in the east at its own expense. Bankers, merchants, real estate men in fact everyone who has any mail going to other states, should tear out this page and send the message along. The Tribune at a nominal cost will furnish extra copies of this page for distribution in lots of 200 up to any quantit: Mr. Devine has gleaned these facts from statistic knowledge of the state covering many years of act public life as well as in farming and general business a ity. Few men are as well qualified as he is to tell of this state’s vast resources. His figures are dependable and comprise a great message from a great state. The Tribune is glad to devote an entire page to this form of constructive advertising. it is indebted to J. M. Devine for the inspiration. PROBABLY WISE Jamestown recently refused to change from the alder- manic system of city government to the commission form. Taxpayers viewed with alarm the mounting costs of city government under the commission plan. The natural com- plement of the commission plan is the city manager. This policy has worked out well in many cities and failed lament- ably in some few instances. Generally speaking, however, the city manager under the commission form has been an} improvement over the commission plan without a city man- | ager. was supposed to fix responsibility and keep the mounting costs of government down. It has not worked out as the : friends of the commission form of government hoped. $ Each section of the city was ideally represented under :__the aldermanic system. At least the taxpayer had a more “potent voice in city management than under the present / regime. It was easier too, for voters to get their complaints be- fore the old board of aldermen. The aldermen knew the wants -of his section and each section had its represent- ? ative there. Now it is possible to elect all five commissioners from one section of the city. Unless the commission form of city government curbs the high cost of municipal administration, there will be a re- action against the plan. The city manager idea seems the only solution if we are to retain the commission plan successfully. A PRACTICAL FARMER President Coolidge has appointed a practical farmer as well as an educator as the new secretary of agriculture. William M. Jardine is not a visionary. He does ndt belong to that dwindling farm bloc that believes a farmer can hoist himself by his own boot-straps; neither does he believe that economic ills can be cured by fiat of law and losses in busi- ness prevented through legislative panaceas. His ideas square with President Coolidge’s logic. Recently Mr. Jardine |%° stated that ninety per cent of the farmers’ troubles could -be cured by the application of sound marketing principles and through scientific farm methods. He saw no relief in the proposed McNary-Haugen bill, but he detected in the ig measure the fallacy at the root of all legislation of this ; kin + “Mr. Jardine has been a “cow-puncher” as well as a train- ed and experienced farmer. He knows the routine of the WA department of agriculture and he can best aid the farmer by keeping government out of the business of farming. His appointment is an endorsement of conservative methods as ebpoaed to the paternalistic demands of the radical farm loc. . ‘Even the Senate seems satisfied with the appointment which is saying a good deal in these days. A TREND IN RADIO Increase in the radio broadcasting stations in United tates presents a serious situation. Secretary Hoover has afmounced that it is difficult to provide wave lengths so sfiymerous are the applications. Stations are seeking to eliminate some of the trouble by alternating and more lately 4 general “hook-up” of a chain of stations prevents a “con- ‘ounding” and a “confusion” of the “etheral vibrations.” Crowding of broadcasting stations in the large cities pre- sents a real problem. Cooperation between them to share “the air” has helped the tension but the day seems not far _distant when there will be actual legislation to restrict the licensing of stations. \ 5 Bie AMERICAN HOG » ~The American hog, the National City Bank of New York informs you, now bosses the: world. - =.

I found the tears run- ning down my cheeks in rivulets, I tried to get my handkerchief but my hands were shaking so that I could not get it. The thought of that saintly woman putting her boy into the care of yourg was one of the most wonderful things I have ever known. Little Jack bent his head over the little red-faced animal in his arms and kissed it, which closed the pro- j ceedings, for the nurse took the baby from the room, No, I forgot. As soon as the boy was relieved of the baby he crawled upon the bed beside Leslie and as his hand caressed her face he kissed her s and hair, and with great unction, “I will wuv’ little Buddy, ‘cause I wuv’ you, muvver, and you wan’ me to wav’ him.” Jack Prescott, you need killing, but I envy you just the same. Two men are growing uy who will call ou father Two men will come onto the world’s battleground and fight a good fight because they have called your wife “mother.” You, old chap, haven't had very much to do with it, and what you have had has made two women quite unhappy. Leslie is growing more beautiful every day. For a moment I watched her tonight with her son in her arms and yours clinging to her knees and she made for me the picture of “motherhood divine.” SYD. P.

FIGHTING DEATH IS —NOT DEATH ITSELF To dramatize death, make it individual, and leave some- thing for conscious: human effort. Where, as in Nome and Sand Cave, death can be fought by work, the workers are eager and the world applauds. But, unnoted, by a thousand bed- sides, a thousand watchers wait, denied even the solace of work. Sometimes Life wins, sometimes Death; but at last always Death. A whole, generation goes, only its latest ones even mourned by their successors. Death, just abstractly, is as commonplace as seed time and harvest. “Ubi sunt qui ante nos in mundo fuere?”—where are those who were in the world before us?”"—the stu- dents lightly sing, and draw no moral save “gaudeamus, igitur, juvenes dum sumus’—“let us have a good time, then, while we are young.” | It was wisely ordained that we should fight against dying, and ac- cept death. It is fighting that makes drama—or news. DRAMA 5 you » must MORE OF US ARE LEARNING Annual announcement is just mage of the attendance at American’ uni- versities. As usual, Columbia and California lead—-Columbia in total -enrotlment + and California in full-time regular students. The figures for these two super- universities are: Columbia, total 30,021; regular, 11,621. California, total 24,112; regular 15,580. The number of full-time regular students in the 25 largest universi- ties is 162,692, The smaller institu- tions would doubtless raise the total college population to more than a quarter of a million, This is more individuals “exposed to” higher learning than were ever in contact with it in the world be- fore, And yet it is not so many. In the 40 years of the working life of the present. students it would mean the accumulation of something more than a million college giad- uates, ar twice that number who had attended college, in a popula- tion more than a hundred times as large. 1 The present student enrollment represents only one family in a hun- dred.
