(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Fargo Versus the State Fargo is all worked up because Governor Sorliv sought to establish preferential rates for and Forks. They advance this as one reason why he should be defeated. The others are that the Mill and* Elevator at Grand Forks and the Bank of North Dakota at Bismarck are useless and should hé wiped cff the map. Probably the real reason they should vanish into thin a as far as Cass cares, is because the public pork is at Grand Forks and Bismarck and not, in Imperial Cass. The Tribune believes the state has no business in the milling or banking business, but until the legislature asserts itself and scraps state industrialism, the institu- tions cannot do any more harm at Grand Forks or{ Bismarck than they would do at Fargo. Probably if'some of the activities of the A. C. at Fargo were sqrutinized as closely as the Cass county politicians watch the rest of the state, some pruning could be dgne to the benefit of the taxpayer’s pocketbook. The Forum sheds large tears at the very sug- gesticn that Grand Forks should be given any pref- erential freight rates or in fact any of the other jobbing centers of the state should be so favored. Once some of the other cities of the state are given the same rate advantages as Fargo, there will be more equality. Yes, Governor Sorlie should be defeated for seek- ing to pass a few preferential rates to Grand Forks and other cities. Imperial Cass should be served always at the ex- mse of every other jobbing district of the state. widaal., movement for the benefit of the farmers EYE HE TRE a a a i re { Cad . ’ shots Mees wos oti wae ake tNaRS ogee * who must forever be skirting should be squelched also.

Coolidge Luck Continues Washington correspondents in many instances find that the Coolidge luck continues. vived the World Court flurry without material dam- age to his political fortune. to lessen his following, and now that tax reduc- tion is in prospect, his record as a party leader ranks well with that of his predecessors. Only nine votes were registered against the tax bill. Opposition to the World Court was stronger, but the passage of the measure did not leave a great amount of bitterness. President Coolidge is given credit for honesty of purpose in championing this measure. His position is that the entrance of United States into the League of Natizns is remote de- spite World Court action. Without entering into the merit of his position on. the; Werld Court, there is slight evidence’ that his standing with any considerable group of Re- publicans has been injured. He is still the outstand- leatter in the G. O. P. ranks and unless the tide turns on some other issue, his nomination in 1928 will be hard to prevent. * Differ as we may with some of his convictions on public issues, he is a wise leader and a great president. The nation is fortunate in this crisis in having the Coolidge type of leadership. No one can impugn the honesty of his motives and he cannot be stampeded by the politicians or the demagogues. ‘ “The Mails Must Go Through” Art Smith, veteran aviator, is gone. Something happened while he “Was flying east from Chicage with the night air mail. Just what, nobody knows. But Art Smith’s plane lurched out ‘of its course, hit a tree, burst into flames—and one more air mail pilot made the last sacrifice. Eleven years ago, when even the best airplanes were rickety affairs that were apt to fall apart al- most any time, Art Smith risked his life every day. for a long summer, performing exhibition flights for the crowds at the San Francisco exposition. He looped the loop, let his plane slip and flutter down- ward from the heights, flew on his back, gyrated and twisted’ high above San Francisco bay, where Lincoln Beachey had died a few weeks before—and gave hundreds of thousands of people a new glimpse of the possibilities ‘of the airplane. _ And now he is gone. Gone as he wanted to go, probably, in harness; for men who risk their lives as cheerfully as Art Smith did can never bear the thought cf dying peacefully in bed. > Art Smith was a brave aviator. He was some- thing more, too; he was the perfect type of. these strange, restless young men who are never. satis- fied with the safe, the certain, the aga chagars He'has sur-! The coal strike failed | just the same. When the air mail was first started, employes of a certain division postal office in the middle west made a list of the ten pilots whe were flying on that division As the days passed one and another {of these pilots met death, and at each fatality these men scratched one name off their lists. A few the young men step forward, hiring out to ri death with a nonchalance that is magnificent, air mails go through, with a regularity and prompt- ness that are amazing. Some day we will realize just what these men give us when they accept our pay, and we will raise their salaries. But until we do they will never com- plain. They are giving something money could not buy, giving it because of some strange compulsion from within that tells them death is only an inci- dent and life is something best saved by the losing of it. They will continue to carry on, dauntless young eagles of the upper air, glorious, careless and strong. Do you remember the inscription chiseled across the front of the New York postoffice? It reads “Neither rain nor snow nor gloom of night stays | these couriers from swift completion of their ap- pointed rounds.” each ia | May Demand Head of Ticket | Democrats in North Dakota or that faction which usually aligns with the I. V. A. are going to demand substantial recognition as the price of 1926 fusicn. Some want the head cf the ticket. Others want to be assured of more substantial places at the pub- lie crib. Honor and glory of association with the “saviors cf the state,” they argue, may be well and good, but then again it’s dull to be fighting always | for ideals without jobs. : | The Democrats cannot be, blamed for taking the same utilitarian stand as fusion. Republicans. A senatorial seat and many good state jobs are in| the politica! jack-pot this year and if the fusion Democrats hold a pat hand why not force the issue early in the game? That’s the question agitating many Democrats who have been fusing more or less regularly since fusion became the better part of valor in this state. , What kind of a bargain the Democrats drive at Devils Lake will be as interesting as! the platform or the senatorial candidate. The Missouri Kansans are worried lest the orgy of tax-slash- ing indulged in by the Senate imperil a Proposed, appropriation of money to improve the Missouri River as a navigable stream. It is to be hoped, for the sake of the whole coun- try, that this appropriation passes. We have too long neglected the possibilities of our inland wa- Yerways. They. are important.

The modern newspaper has so many fields to cover, the changes taking place from day to day are so kaleidoscopic, that no fewspaper, no matter how well informed or how well organized, can keep abreast of the activi- ties of the bar association of the country unless those activities are brought to its attention. Every state bar association should have a committee whose business it is to see to it that the press of its state is kept fully informed of associational ac- ivities. The suggestion recently made by Don C. Seitz of the New York World, that in every bar associ- ation there be created a Bureau of Correct Infor- mation, is a valuable one, Such bureau could fur- nish the press with correct information regarding Pending cases, the issues involved and decisions rendered. Conducted by a bar association and speaking in its name, there would be no danger of its improper use. The newspaper could rely upon receiving disinterested information, uncolored by desire to favor one side or another, and free from suspicion of self-exploitation or advertisement. The existence of such a bureau weuld in itself prevent error from occurring in the first instance, provide for its correction if it did occur, and avoid its repe- tition. The casual -reader is led to believe that the only interesting law cases are the so-called sensational ones, those in which the sex relation is exploited or someone’s life is hanging in the balance. This perspective is wrong. It can be corrected. Every dramatist knows that there are interesting facets to life besides murder and divorce. The modern newspaper is keen for “news”—all news. There is much news, much interesting news in litigated cases, j More than the public is aware of. But if the lawyer brings his case to the attention of the press, is open to the charge of self-exploitation. If, however, his case be one of real interest or mo- ment, his bar association can, through its owg bu- reau, bring it to the attention of the local press. The proprietiés can be observed, yet the public be informed. Everyone is presumed to know the law. Decisions of the highest tmportance, affecting the daily conduct of the people, go without reporting in the public press and the public remains ignorant. This can all be corrected and freed of any sordid purpose through the operation of such a bureau as ‘What is today a matter of able to make you understand it when I told you that you did not. “I'm afraid I'm doing wrong to lot you go, for you are much too young | to take upon yourself the responsi bilities which you are shoulderitt: with such jaunty assurance,” I trembled inside of me.

NTURES TWINS Sy one posrors Bavra! A QUEER TOLL GATE “Where does Blue Whiskers live?” Nancy went to ask, but all her poor twisted tongue could say was, “Eeny, meeny, miny, mo!” Jupe, however, did not laugh. -“f understand you,” said the kangaroo kindly. “You wish to ask about Blue Whiskers’ castle. It’s too bad You children cannot talk, but if we go about it right, your troubles will soon be over. Blue Whiskers himself is a wizard who can do anything, If you had only come in by the wicket | gate, everything wold have been | different.’ Nick tried to say, “But we didn’t | know, anything about the wicket gate. Our. magic green shoes just brought us here—pop!” But all he could” say was, “All around the market place the monkey chased the we: hat's the way the money goes—po} goes the wea- sel. But again Jupe understood. How- ever, this time he didn't reply, but led the way through a woods toward a high hill, the T their skates. “The next place we have to pass on the way to Blue. Whiskers’ castle,” said he, “is the toll-gate. Tt’s a’ queer toll-gate, but don't be astonished. Nothing will hurt you.” Suddenly the Twins saw a large blue bat sitting on a stone in the middle of the road. It was quite a s following. on and his ears looked like the ears of a very large ard curious rabbit. His wings were folded and he sat very still, not moving a muscle except that his one blinked like Fourth-of- July sparklers. By that you know that he was not only awake, but inking rapidly, ‘oll, please!” he said with two snaps of his jaw: i “How much is it today?” /asked Jupe. “As no travelers have passed since two days before yesterday, I am. very hungry,” sai the bat. “The toll to- lay is one pint of flies, one pint of en Paes ‘and six ounces of buz- zers!”" The Twins wondered what buzsers were, but they were soon ty know. “Dear, dear!” muttered the kan- garoo. “Things are getting more ex- pensive every day. Even toll-gates! Couldn’t you reduce it-a little? I’ve got the mosquitoes all right, and the flies, but lady-bugs are scarce this year.” J “I've taken quite a liking to lady- bugs,” said the long-eared bat,.“and chance, or the good will of a friendly reporter, should be made a matter of bur association com-| r. munication.
