The Battle of Rum Row belongs in the category of peace- ful warfare and watchful waiting. While Atlantic bootleggers wait and pine and the thirsty grow more parched, the rum fleet is begging for water — willing to exchange good rye and three-star Hennesey for what Dean Ingle calls the, “dismal beverage.” Correspondents are brushing up their war vocabularies in referring to the rather unique blockade which threatens to make the east “dry” and the Canadian border more active. Probably land forces will have to begin a siege of the north- ern highways along the Canadian provinces if the interior is to become as “boozeless” as the effete east. This new offensive of the internal revenue department is not an attack but a siege. It is being carried on with meticulous observance of international law. It is costing a pretty penny, but law must be paramount. Congress willed the Volstead Act upon the people and now the people must pay to be kept dry. It is absurd to dwell too long about the cost of keeping fifty rum chasers on con- tinuous duty, three shifts as it were at a cost of millions. The United States is willing to make this sacrifice for the sake of an ideal—and ideals as expensive as they may become must be preserved at all costs. If. there is to be respect for all law there must not be contempt for any special law, bitterly as some may differ upon the merit of such a law. This is almost a maxim now -with the reformers who continually shout that the prohibi- tion law enforcement be 100‘ effective, however lax the laws to curb murder, larceny, corruption in public office are enforced without any great protest from the moralisty, “The federal government is going after: the law violators 4.at. the source. ‘Its agents are hitting very closely the big meh-of the rum trade. Millions have been spent rooting out private stills, capturing the hand to hand or rather “hip to ip” bootlegger while the wealthy syndicate distributing rum to those in the illicit trade in a small way have gone untouched. Eternal vigilance and the spending of millions ‘yearly are the only effective agents bringing about any- thing like fair enforcement of the federal dry laws and even then the inventive genius of the thirsty will find new ways to “beat the game.” a VALUE OF GOOD WILL Wall Street, always cool, cold and calculating places the good will value of the Dodge Brothers corporation at $100,- 000,000. This probably is one of the greatest tributes ever paid to advertising for it is conceded that a great majority of the good will has been built by consistent advertising backed of course by the goods and service without which all advertising is as sounding brass and tinkling cymbals. “Good Will” is a slogan which Dodge Brothers capitalized in their advertising whether upon bill boards, in the movies or through the columns of the hundreds of newspapers which they use throughout the world. Readers can recall the cap- tions of these advertisements, essays really in the value of good will. Some of the title lines come crowding the mem- ory: “A Year’s Growth in Good Will,” “Good Will Con- stantly Spreading,” “A Solid Wall of Good Will.” There has always been a friendly style to the Dodge advertising through which the force and value in business of Good Will are reflected. ‘ Talking Good Will to sales forces, meetings of distribu- tors finally induced the very business asset the managers of this corporation set out to create. It put millions upon the right side of the ledger when the final sale came after the two brothers who thought out the scheme had passed to their reward. The public accepted this glorifying of the value of good will and customer endorsement of it brought increased sales. FUTURE . s Daily we see “sheiks” and “flappers” in their strange styles, which change even as this is being written. The outstanding characteristic of the younger generation is not its clothes, but its unwillingness to do as its predeces- sor did and at its refusal to accept everything told. It can be expected that 20 year8 from now, when this generation is making our laws and supporting our churches, things will be much different. Probably worth while sticking around — just to watch the fun. CRIME NEWS Whatever anyone else thinks about publication of crime Ree L. C. Andrews, assistant secretary of the treasury, is for it. i He has ordered full publicity to cases of smugglers caught by customs officers. This, he thinks, and he is right, will have a deterring effect upon respectable tourists who have hitherto evaded ’ _ the law because the previous penalties invited the risks. WALLOPING Another state has put flogging on its books ag legal pun- ishment. Flogging is probably no worse punishment for a man than a sound licking is for a child. Tanning children usually curbs them for the time being, but it is but a temporary measure. “ee Goodness cannot be beaten into either man or child.

MARRIED WOMEN TEACHERS (Duluth Herald) At a secret session held last night the Duluth school board voted to employ no more married women as teachers after this, though it will keep those now em- ployed as long as they wish to stay. Fy The school board is trying to ap- ply a hard and fast rule to a situ- ation that cannot fairly be adjust- ed to any hard and fast rule. There will be no division of opinion on this point: that be- tween a married woman whose husband is capable of supporting her, and a single woman depend- ent upon the pay of her prcfession for a livelihood, preference should be given to the single woman. All things being anywhere near equal, she should be employed, and not the married woman who does not need the work. But that is as far as the rule could go in justice to the schools and the individuals concerned. The rule adopted by the board will bar from employment in the Duluth public schools an excellent teacher who is a married woman, even though her husband may be sick or crippled and dependent up- on _her earnings for his support. It would bar from the Duluth public schools the best woman teacher in the world if she should get married before applying for employment here. The board of education in taking this action is responding to a very active appeal, and it has meant to do the right thing. But it goes too far when it for- bids employment to a teacher be- cause she is married, even though her husband may not be able to support her, and when it denies the public schools the benefits of the best teacher in the world just because she happens to have a husband. THE PADLOCK (Los Angeles Times) The padlock has come into its own. It has usually hung from thé bent clasp of a barn door or lay supinely in an old cellar waiting for a job by night. The garage in the back yard has occasionally been graced with this humble, in- nocent and trusting instrument. It has always been used to lock in what was regarded as of worth on the inside. It has been a badge of stored values and a) temptation to vagrant mortals in search of something not their own. Never has great dignity been attached to its personality, and it has never had its name in “Who's Who.” ‘Possibly it has never dreamed of such honor and has been content to hold fast to the end. This is to its credit. Holding fast has been its high- est aim in life. It has often held fast when, having lost your key, you had to yank the door to pieces to secure your wealth from with- in. Its oné religious doctrine has been the “perseverance of the saints.” It has employed this in its life and embodied it even unto death. But the padlock has at last got- ten into print. It has been head- lined. It has not only been head- lined in a newspaper, but it has been the scarehead of the New York city papers. The padlock is being used to quench the spirits of the bootleg- ger. And it works! The bootleg- ger will pay a fine or go to jail with complacency and a grin. But a padlock on his door chills his finer feelings and fills his boots with fear. The battle is now be- tween the bottle and the padlock. On with the padlock! - —___.________+ | A THOUGHT |! + - + He that refraineth his lips is wise. —Prov. 10:19, . There is no diplomacy like si- lence.—Beaconsfield. (Copyright, 1925, NEA Service, Inc.) ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON The next person to visit Doctor Bill's Hospital was the peacock. He marctted in so proudly with his tail spread out like a fan and the crest on top of his head looking for all the world like a crown, that the Twins whispered to the bird doctor that they didn't think the visitor could be so very sick at all. “How do you do, sir!” said Doctor Bill hospitably. “I don’t do at all,” screeched the The modern girl makes her ap- aPearance before she appears, ‘|the garden, THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE r, We Hope This B | LETTER FROM LESLIE PRESCOTT TO THE LITTLE MARQUISE, CARE OF THE SBCRET DRAWER, CONTINUED “Do you possibly think, Mrs. Pres- cott, that the charming hostess of the most exquisite party 1 have ever attended would condescend to dance with an humble but most devoted courtier?” Mr, Sartoris asked. “Oh, Mr. Sartoris, I am sorry if 1 have neglected you,” I replied. though I recognized the voice I not turn around. “But you have not neglected me, dear lady. How could you when you evidently did not know I was present. You seem to be able to recognize my voice easier than my face, for you have looked quite through me and past me many times tonight, Always when I have fol- lowed the direction of your eyes, they have been upon your husband. He is a fortunate man.” “Perhaps, he may not think that. However, I will answer your request for a dance in the same language ‘iw which you have asked for it. I have been wondering, Mr. Sartoris, where the best dancer I have ever known has been hiding, for I protest to you that my eyes have not rested upon you all this evening. I am very glad, however, that at last you have come and asked me to be your partner in this dance, and I accept the great privilege with alacrity.” Mr. Sartoris colored and I was a little sorry that I had made fun of his very formal flattery. To make up for it, | asked: dance the tango? see the orchestra play*one of those wild airs.” “Yes, I tango,” Mr. Sartoris an- swered eagerly, “and 1 knew you| did: Therefore I asked the leader to play one before I came to ask you to dance with me. You see, dear| lady, I knew that to tango with you would be giving expression to all the poetry of my soul.” “You're incorrigible,” I whispered, “I can neither ridicule nor frown you out of your Latin flatteries,” In a moment we were out in the} middle of the gold ballroom of the hotel, and had commenced to dunce. For some time after that I knew nothing except that my feet were expressing the poetry of my soul. My body seemed to be composed of a kind of rarified air that swayed here and there like a summer breeze. Slowly bending and rising again! as though my limbs were but follow- ing the beckoning of my partner's subconscious thought, I bowed and swayed. ‘As a personality, Melville Sar- toris was something disembodied.

That's what I am.” “Well, well, well!” declared the doctor. “You certainly don’t look it.” He felt like adding that of all the birds he had ever seen, the peacock was the handsomest. But he didn’t, because he was afraid of making him vain. And he knew that this fellow already had the reputation of. being as proud as Lucifer. “What seems to be the matter?” asked Doctor Bill kindly. The peacock folded his tail feath- ers together and then spread thent out again, as he had a habit of doing when people were watching him. “I don't know,” he said at last. “I'm not feeling good that’s all.’ “Is it your liver, do you think?” asked the doctor. “I don’t know,” said the peacock. “But I'm all green and blue, and they say that people feel blue and look green when they have liver trouble. If it wasn’t for some other people, I'd be all right. I wouldn't feel sick at all!” “Won't you tell us ail about it?” asked the doctor. “Well, I may as well, I suppose,” said the peacock. “You see, it’s this way. I live in a palace garden—and there are all sorts of birds there. I belong to a princess, and I love her dearly. “But at night when she comes into 's the nightingale she listens to and praises, and when she comes out onto her balcony early in the morning, it is the lark she looks for in the sky as he sings his morn- ing song. I don’t dare to make a sound because if I did. with my screechy voice, she would only laugh at me. That's what makes me ill.” “Aha!” said Doctor Bill knowingly. “I see! It's only a pain you have in your disposition, my dear sir! That's what ails you.” “My what?” asked the peacock sharply. “Is it near my stomach?” “No—it's nearer to your heart,” said the doctor. “Can you help me?” asked the pea- cock. “And do you think you could teach me to sing?” “Not so fi said the Doctor. “Not so fast!” Then he added, “If I @ave you your choice of a beautiful id you take?” ‘ouldn't I have both?” cried the peacock greedily. “No,” said Doctor Bill. sweetest songbirds aren’t handsome at all.

But “faith in Germany” is exactly what the Hindenburg election makes difficult. Since, however, the election is an accomplished fact, with which we must reckon, whether we like it or not, it is worth while to seek the situation for its possibilities of hope. These are many. In the first place, Hindenburg personally is harmless. He is 78 years old, and will be 85 at the end of his term, if he serves it out. He is scarcely likely to last long in office, or to accomplish anything terrible while in. He may even surprise the world by trying, at first, to carry out his excellent theoretical professions. The president of Germany, in any case, has far less power ‘than the American president. His chancellor and foreign minister are practically selected for him by the Reichstag and are responsible to it. The imme- diate clique behind Hindenburg is reactionary, but intelligent. It may not be so stupid in action as in cam- paigning for votes. The situation is difficult, and can easily be made more so by exagger- ating its dangers. The temptation in France will be to do so. The rest of the worid can help best by keep- ing cool. FABLES ON HEALTH FOR TREATING SUNBURN | vender skin, unaccustomed to the |burning rays of the sun, should not be exposed to the hot sun. If it is, the result often is sun- burn and much discomfort. A layer of suitable cream is a good protection.

Yesterday I saw the first lorgnette I've seen in many months. It was used by a woman in a quick lunch room. And Vincent Astor has sold the old Astor home at 840 Fifth Avenue. It will be razed and on its site a 20- story apartment hotel will be erected. The Astor house was bought by Benjamin Winter, whe came here 24 years ago as an immigrant from Poland. He was penniless then and did odd jobs for his landlord in liew of the first month's rent. He then worked as @ house painter and bought real estate with his savings. He has become one of the biggest realty holders in New York. His new hotel will cost ten million dollars. 6 The most ‘exclusive sgciety in, New York now is a circle of publishers, writers, architects and artists. Ac- complishment is the sesame to their charmed gathering. They are com- fortably well-off, but the size of one’s purse has little or nothing to do with acceptance into their com- pany.
