It makes little matter whom Gov. Sorlie appoints, the vast of the United States senators would be in their by what they deemed to be the law in the case. When Burke was governor and!

North Dakota will not suffer if no one takes Sen- ator Ladd’s geat until after the November tions. Congress will not convene until December next, and then probably will be in session for only a few months. Primaries follow in June, 1926, by which time doubtless Congress will have adjourned. Whatever the legal niceties of the senatorial sit- uation are, it seems almost certain that Governor Sorlie will not call a special election. In view of the plain power of appointment conferred by the state constitution, in the governor, it would be a most meticulous United States senate that would fail to seat Governor Sorlie’s appointee. seat aa wholly of the probably view niajority governed vote N. Jounson To pro was before vote, many lawy believe requirements are elec: A state newspaper speaks definitely as follows: “The chief thing is that the senate will not accept the appointee, whether Mr. Bron- son, Mr. Feetham or Mr. Hagan or Mr. Vogel or Mr. Richa nm or the Governor himself, and that is just what the Nonpartisan League wants. It is rather presumptuous to speak for the United States senate. A newspaper is taking upon its shoulders quite a task in cetermining what senate action will ‘be in advance. The Congressionai Record is full of senatorial capers that no one ever dreamed of. It is hard to forecast United States senatorial action in the year of our Word 1925. It is probably a fair guess that vernor rlie will not call or be frightened into a special election. There is no demand for one from the rank and file of voters in either party. Business men and farmers welcome a surcease from strife and po litical contention. It may work a hardship upon the politicians and those who aspire to senatorial honors, but the taxpayers are willing if necessary to forego the luxury of an aqWitional United States senator if they can save from $100,000 to $150,000. A South Dakota Calculation Prices of farm products have practically their pre-war purchasing power, according to ‘the Monthly Bulletin of the South Dakota College of Agricu:- ture. Comparison of values of agricultural products in terms of dollars is made with the more important non-agricultural products ag purchased locally. The conclusion of South Dakota experts is that generally speaking $1 worth of South Dakota farm products during the years 1910 to 1913 purchased $1 worth of non-agricultural products. Investiga- tions show that this situation today more nearly obtains now than ever before since the war, which indicates a restoration of balances as between the farm and industry generally. A parity ‘has not been reached, but the general trend is in that direction. South Dakota statisti- clany siicw that the purchasing value of farm prod- ucts advanced from 70 cents in June, 1924, to 96% centé in June, 1925. North Dakota's situation {s probably the same, as ft produces exactly the same products and is governed by the same market conditions. This means that farmers will not be forced to restrict their purchases as they have in the past. There should be a greater volume of business, both in the consumption. of what the farmer raises and what is offered to him for purehese. Unemployment in eMties which followed agricultural depression cur- tailed the expenditures of the city dweller. Cities are.busier ‘because the upward trend of prices in agricultural centers has speeded up industry. re 44.

The earnings of the factory worker are still above the value of any product sold by New York farmers. i nce was 59 per cent above the five-year pre war average for May but earnings for factory work ers were 124 per cent above the 1914 level. In some lines at Jeast there must be new adjust ments before purchasing value of the products the farmer raises equals that of the ordinary ran of non-agricultural commodities.

Editorial Comment John Doe, the Wronged (Danville Bee) John Doe was horn about the close of the Dark Ages. He was the creation of some English law- yers who began to see the light of progress. They needed John Doe for the purpose of making law more complicated than it had been. Faet had made it snarled enough for most persons, but the lawyers called fiction to their aid to make it more profitable. John Doe was the fictitious lad to turn the grind stone for them. Just why they needed him as the plaintiff in actions of ejectment would of itself be a fit subject for a $10,000 word thesis by any young lawyer seeking a degree. John Doe, springing full armed (with papers; from-the brow of justice, entered upon a career in which he was ever an imaginary lessee battling with an imaginary Richard Roe for possession 0: land. The land was real and so were the men who won it Jn court and the lawyera who never. gave Doe or ‘Roe a groat for their services. For seven cen- turies, until parliament passed the common law procedure act in 1852, Doe and Roe were busy, but always in fairly respectable work. -But the act of 1852 abolished fictions in ejectment. John Doe, after seven centuries of work, a grave in Westminster Abbey. But no; cruel iaw yers would not let him die. He was force! into the miserable work of the criminal courts. Judges issued warrants in his name, and his monicker ap pears frequently on police court dockets. He is the ost frequently fined individua} in the world.

Write down the figure six. anc’ place twenty-one cyphers after it. That's the approximate weight of the earth, six thousand million million million ton:. The bureau of standards, however, hopes to get a more accurate figure. Pioneers upon the last frontier—the frontier of science—await ‘the result of the work with e3ger- ness since a knowledge of the weight of the earth heips in solving many problems concerning the structure and composition of the earth's jnterior. The apparatus to ‘be used at the bureau is ex- tremely delfoate. What the bureau .does is to measure the force of attraction which two large steel balls exert upon two tiny gold ones. We know that the attraction exerted by the earth is the force of gravity. Therefore the, ratio of the force of gravity to the force exerted by the steel balls on the gold balls muat be the. same as the ratio of.the weight of the earth to that’of the:steel balls. All that ‘is necessary, then, is.to weigh the steel balls and from that figure calculate ‘the weight of the earth. ‘ saa he ot a ne 12) eatememeta me The May price of milk for | | over in or Other | THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE The Great Commoner >M.

Puff has lost a dozen butons, however, so we shall have to hunt some more. One but- ton won't keep his coat together at all.” “Where shall we go next?” asked the Twins. “Just wait and I'll see,” said Jug- gle Jump. Se he pushed the button that said “stretch” and he began to. stretch until the Twins could not see his head or shoulders. Then pushed another button that said “shrink” and back he came again. “On one side is the Land of Breezes, on the other side is the Land .of ‘Keyholes,” shall it be? In the end he tossed a penny to save trouble. “Tails! It is the Land of Keyholes. We shall go to the Land of Keyholes to find some of Puff’s lost buttons,” said Juggle Jump. He strode away with jerky steps and the Twins followed. Pretty soon they were in a place; where even the bird cages were locked up tight. The houses and the stores and the movies, and even the gas stations were locked with big padlocks until the whole ‘place looked like a jail. “Did you see a large pearl button about the size of a two-dollar silver piece?” Juggle Jump asked a lady. “It belonged to Puff, the Fairy Queen's cook, and he sneezed it off. “That is a long distance away, said the lady. “I don’t think it coul have come so far.” “Oh, yes, it could,” said Juggle Jump. “You don’t, know Puff. When he sneezes the very mountains! shake. And he always sheezes when he shakes pepper, and he shakes pep- per every time he makes soup or gravy. And he makes soup and{ gravy quite a lot. Therefore, Puff sneezes so much that ‘he has’ burst off every button he owns and his coat won't stay together.” “Why don’t they padlock him?” asked the lady. “Padlocks are much better than buttons.” “It wouldn’t make any, difference,” said Juggle Jump. “We should only be hunting the padlocks.” The lady went her way and they went ‘theirs. Pretty soon they came to a wash- ing out on a line. Every piece was fastened to the clothes line with padlocks instead of clothespins.

The real tropics are more laxur- ant, and, in photographs, more beau- | tiful. Whether they are to you in the reality depends on how high the necessary price seems to your parti- cul temperament. The “price” in question is not humid heat and swarm with insect sts. Perhey lack most or all the conven- iences of civilization, and their pic- turesque inhabitants are often ig- norant of sanitary and other decen- vies. Not all the odors of the spice islands are perfumes. If you can overlook these features, the far trop- ies are the most beautiful and inter- esting part of the world. But Hawaii, fortunately, exacts none of these prices. It is civilized, clean, comfortable—and tropical enough. Its many raced population seems exotic enough, if you have just come from America, If you have just come from the Orient, it seems very American; and if you have just come from’ the cannibal islands, it seems astound- ingly metropolitan, It is all a mat- ter of contrast. WHERE RACIAL ARE NOT DRAW A reception at Place,” the official residence of Gov ernor Farrington of Hawaii, to the “Washington delegates to the Institute of Pacific Relations, presented a sight such as could be seen nowhere else in the world, and rarely on such a scale here. The house, formerly the residence of Queen Lilioakalani during the 20 years from her deposition to her death, and with a long and conspic- uous history in island life before that, has been enlarged into a spa- cious official residence, ample for any social gathering. But this gathering—American, Ha- waiian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Filipino and British empire ladics and gentlemen, most of the Orientals in their native costumes—was uni- que. They were, of course, most of them persons of the highest standing in their own countries, who would be welcome guests in the finest homes anywhere in the world: but nowhere except in Hawaii could they have been assembled in such num- bers with so little racial conscious- ness. Hawaii was until recently the world example of racial non-exclu- siveness. Social lines, among. per- sons of equal standing otherwise, practically* ignored race lines. If that is no longer completely the case, in all circles, at least it could be so, unconsciously and un- obtrusively, in a company like this It was not strange.
