It is meeting com- petition of the bus in a practical and energtic manner. The motor bus has come to stay. Inasmuch as transportation in its various phases is the business of the Great Northern, it is most natural that the company should spend a half mil- lion or more to enlarge its facilities. This entry of a great railroad into the motor bus busi- ness is merely a forerunner of what is to come. There will be a gradual linking of the various bus routes with the rail systems. In time, the consolidation will be more or less com- plete and the railroads will be able to offset the losses now incurred by resorting to the motor bus for handling the local business, releasing equipment and trackage for the more profitable handling of freight. But even in the freight de- partment, the motor truck is becoming a factor and railroads probably will have to invade that field of transportation it added service to the public is to be given. SEE FAILURE FOR DAWES According to a poll of the United States senate made recently by the New York Times, Vice President Dawes is not going to win his fight to revise the senate rules. His efforts to speed up the most deliberative body in the world are doomed to failure if the survey of the New York news- paper is a safe criterion. While many senators believe the rules should be re- vamped in the interest of expediency and economy, they seem to resent the brass band tactics of the energetic Dawes. They probably would be willing to listen to the persuasion of the cloak room or senate lounging quarters, but to be “backfired” into action is too foreign to the dignity that is supposed to protect a United States senator from such com- monplace political offensives. The nation doubtless is with Dawes in his campaign to secure a revision. There is a serious difference of opinion, however, upon the manner in which Dawes is seeking to correct a purely parliamentary condition over which the sen- ators themselves and not the voters have direct control. Public opinion may eventually be aroused upon this issue to the extent that candidates may be forced to commit them- selves upon the issue of senate rules, but to the hoi polloi the fracas is an academic and rather uninteresting one. It has no popular appeal and from all reports the Chautauqua crowds are not worrying about this issue nearly as much as they are concerned with Bryan’s “monkey business” or the Tennessee tangle. GOOD MARKET SEEMS ASSURED North Dakota has the best crop prospects in years. Wheat especially is in fine condition and unless unfavorable conditions arise later, the yield should be good at what promises to be an exceptionally good price. According to the forecast made recently by the Depart- ment of Agriculture the probable yield is the smallest since 1917. The crop is estimated at 661,000,000 bushels or 212,- 000,000 bushels less than last year. This indicates that there will be little for export purposes this year. Production of wheat seems below the normal demand at present writing, which should insure an excellent price for the farmers of the Northwest. This will compensate in part for some of the poor years when overproduction and deflation all down the line made agriculture unprofitable as the-situation did many lines of business. The department of agriculture reports spring wheat as being in fair condition. The estimate is 29,000,000 bushels less than last year, but 9,000,000 bushels more than the aver- age production over a period of five years. DIVORCE Uniform divorce laws, the same in Ohio as in New York, in Maine as in Texas, are being urged on us now by many very well-meaning folk. : Let’s examine the proposition a little before indorsing it too whole-heartedly. :.How would you standardize these laws? Would the laws e state that allows no divorces at all be the standard? Or those that allow divorce for almost anything? Or those that lie half way between? * nd, on top of it all, do we want any more standardiza- ;than we-have? Suppose people in one state have one idea about divoree, and people in another state have another idea; shouldn't ‘each. class be allowed to have its own kind of law on the subject? :fEhe idea back. of this moye is praiseworthy. But the question will bear a lot. of studying. be WHAT IS IT? Before you get into another argument on evolution, on either side, be sure you know what you are talking about. The number of people who hold decided opinions one way or another on that subject without really knowing anything about it is amazing. & Every public library has plenty of clear, simple books on the subject. Since the popular conception of the proposition is usually a good many. miles off, a little real study of the subject, just to precede the arguments, wouldn’t hurt anyone.

They are presented here in order that our readers may have both sides of important issues which are helng discussed in the press of lay. the A NEW NORSE SAGA (New York Times) Americans of Norse origin meet today in Minneapoiis to begin the celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of the first exodus of Norwegians to the United States. A million of these people, more or less, came to this country during the century, most of them to set tle in the regions about the Great Lakes and in the Northwestern grain States. Some, unable to re sist the lure of the sea which for so many generations haw cailed their ancestors, stopped at the At lantic ports or pushed through to the Pacific Northwest. Minnesota, the Dakotas, Wisconsin and IIli- nois, however, have claimed the majority of the children of Nor- way, who took up the taming of a‘ continent by the side of Americana | of New England, German and other origins. It has never been the na- ture of Norsemen to hang back or ‘Cannot the Norwegians boast of Amundsen as well as Leif Ericson? Pioneering is in their blood. In opening up the older Northwest they had a congenial ‘ifework. It is only natural that those gathered together in Minneapolis should dwell fondly on the glories of the Norsemen of old. They are justly proud of the deeds of their forefathers. But there should be some modern skald to recite the saga of the winning of the North- west, and to celebrate the manner in which these sons of Norway fused themselves into the life of the United States, giving to their new homes in the woods and plains the same loyal affection that their fathers had for the hills an! fjords of the Scandinavian peninsula.

ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON OF THE CHINESE HERMAN “What kind of a story would you like to hear next?” asked Mi O' Mi, the Story Teller. “Tell us about more fairies,” said Nancy. “All right,” said Mi O’ Mi, “but the story I was thinking about has fairies in it whom no one can see and no one suspects of being around. Fairies who play us tricks or fairies who do us good. See if you can guess what kind of fairies I mean when I have finished my story.” The Twins sat very still and Mi O’ Mi began: “Once upon a time there was a poor fisherman. He was a Chinese fisherman and very, very poor. ‘He didn’t fish just to sell to the market and so have enough monev for his other wants, but he fished to get enough food to keep him and «his family alive.

Suppose I was overpowered.” “Don’t worry, Benson! Nothing will happen to me up here and I won't leave until Mr. Laidlaw and Mr. Prescott return. + “I'll have my dinner early, Ben- son, so that I may have it with little Jack, and finish the book I am read- ing while waiting.” I heard Benson give his orders from the hall at the foot of the staircase, and looking out I could not help smiling.

Similarly, the arguments for states’ rights will appeal theo- retically to the south and practically to the east. The south- erners will praise the principle—but still seek state-aid proj- ects. is After all, the determinative question is who pays the |bills. And with one accord we all voice our wish — “the other fellow!” Some sights we shall never see again. The last time a great city was decorated with candles was doubtless the illumination of Paris, in 1894, in honor of the visit of the Russian fleet, to signalize the Franco-Russian alliance. There were, of course, electric lights in 1894, but there were not globes enough in existence or procurable for the ‘ceremonial illumination of a city. So small cups of colored glass, each with a candle in it, were strung over the principal buildings and public monuments. = The total light was doubtless insignificant, by present standards, but the most ambitious modern display could scarcely have a more beautiful decorative effect. That was 31 years ago, and will never happen again. L Until last month the illuminating of St. Peter’s had not taken place since 1871. Now, twice within a few weeks, the old ropes, the old wax and the old wicks have been brought out, and the great dome has been lighted in the old way. It is described as tremendously pressive, not merely in its phys! beauty, but in its reminder of the past, when such things were possible only on St. Peters, and happened only in honor of a new saint. That, too, will never happen The next canonization will se: bet- ter illumination, which, instead of weeks of preparation, troops of skill- ed men and tons of wax, will. re- quire only the touching of a button. It will be actually better. But when we realize that the new saint, instead of a unique tribute, will. have, once for all, only what chewing gum and washing powder get on the Great White Way every night, we may won- der whether modern improvements improve some things, after all. amounting to species do but not often in five, or Give Nature Changes take plac fifty thousand yea time. Supreme Court Renders a Memorable Service The decision of the United States supreme court, setting aside the Ore- gon public school law, is a vindica- tion of even more than religious and educational freedom in America. It is a vindication of the Constitu- tion of the United States, as the pro- tector of minorities, and of the su- preme court, as the guardian of tl Constitution. The law in question, rohibiting children attending any But the public schools, and closing ail private and paroc schools, was undeniably the real will of the people of Oregon. It was passed by their direct vote, after a campaign which left nobody in doubt of its meaning. Its animus was tht determination of a large ele- ment of the Protestant majority to close the Catholic parochial schools— and perhaps of the democratic ma- jority to close the supposedly aris- tocratic non-parochial private schools. The only ing to stop the carry- ing out of this will of the people was the fact that the Constitution puts cert: mits on the rights even of ‘ies to impose their will on minorities or individuals, and sets up the supreme court to guard those limits. The supreme court has thus openly “defeated the will of the peo- ain, Give Nature Time In Its Develop- ment All Burbank has’ever done, accord- ing to Mr. Bryan, is to produce “a variety within a species; he never crossed the line of species.” Even that is debatable.
