A. in practice will continue to cperate the Bank of North Dakota and the Grand Forks mill. Thus is politics served. This signifi- cant phrase from the platform tells the extent to which compremise will be continued in the quest for votes: iennial “We, therefore, pledge ourselves and our candidates to the policy of discontinuing the operation of the mill and elevator by the state AS SOON AS FEASIBLE; and to a policy of placing its future operation under other management upon the best terms possible consistent. with reducing the state’s losses to a minimum and increas- ing the prospects of the institution serving a useful purpose.” This was probably written in deference to the middle of the road nonpartisans who have joined the I.

During the Nestos campaign the “try it out been The The language has mill is to be operated until it is feasible to close it. Just how it is to be conducted as an institution “serving a useful purpose” is left to the imagina- tion of the voters. To tell the voters flatly that the mill, elevator and bank would be closed was impossible. Until the legislature acts, the Independents as well as the Nonpartisans must continue to operate these indus- tries. The prospects of much attention being made to the legislative candidates with a senatorial bat- tle raging is remote If a two-thirds majority is | elected to the next legislature pledged to liquidating the bank and the mill, it will be a miracle in view of the compromising attitude of the Devils Lake I. V. A. platform. The I. V. A. political scouts | dcubtless have reported that the mill and elevator | are still vital issues as far as the farmers are con- cerned and that a “go easy” policy in the interests of votes should be followed. As for the Bank of North Dakota, the I. V.

The issues are no more defined than in The League is for keeping the industries in one gear and the I. V. A. suggest a different gear. The campaign then narrows down to one of per- sonalities. in sight? What men are best fitted for the jobs Both must continue the industries re- gardless of the Devils Lake platform which is most wonderfully and fearfully made. Present incumbents of state offices nominated at Devils Lake have served the state efficiently as have the present Nonpartisan incumbents. The Tribune can see no pressing necessity for a change, as no different issue presents itself from the hee v. A. quarter than has obtained through several campaigns. The endorsement of L. B. Hanna for United States senator brings the best timber the Repub- 2 licans csuld draft in this emergency. His election is another matter despite the fact that he is as well qualified as any man in the state for the position. He served the state well for two years as governor. In Congress he was efficient and he did a good job in the recent Coolidge campaign. Each voter should “debunk” the various platforms and swing in behind the best men for the jobs re- gardless of factional labels. All Wrong A speaker before a sportsmen’s dinner at New York the other night remarked that “if every man, woman and child in the country had a sport hobby there would be no need for any police forces any- where.” That statement was about as far wrong as @ short statement like that could be, and it’s quoted only because it’s characteristic of so much} by the county agent shows that the farmers lost D ‘of the balmy thinking that goes on nowadays.

This exhibit will visualize the nature of naval service and what men who go down to the sea in ships have to endure. It is indeed fortunate that the drive for funds to save Old Ironsides from destruction was success- ful. for the youth of the land could be found than in the preservation of this frigate of “tattered engign” fame. No, Not Over-Educated! A young man in an eastern city was arrested for robbery. The judge before whom he was arraigned had his record looked up and discovered that the | lad had been valedictorian in his high school class. | Accordingly, the judge remarked that ‘perhaps he | had been over-cducated.” | This is the same sort of thing that was said about | Leopold and Loeb in the Franks murder. It is about as unreasoning, senseless 2 remark as conta | possibly be made. | The idea that a person could be educated to a point where it would be bad for him is one that could hardly be entertained by anyone who had had ; a very great degree of education himself. | It is hardly too much to say that the fate cf the nation, and the entire world, hinges in large part on the question of whether we will be able to ac- quire enough education—mental training—to en- able us to live in harmony with the matvelous new world that the scientists are creating for us. i The chief of the world’s troubles do not come be- | ause of deep-seated wickedness or inbred evil. They come because so many people do not know how to think. And an education, at bottom, is nothing more or less than a training that shows one how to think— how to use his mental powers, how to reason things out, how to figure out problems for himself instea? of accepting blindly the word of someone no wiser than himself. = The ability to think clearly, or even semi-clearly, is not, of course, the only thing we need. But it is something that we can’t possibly get along with- out. And we may attain it only by giving our young people all the education we possibly can. The remark that “too much education” can cause crime is just about at the apex of all the silly things that have been said in recent years. And that,you must admit, is saying something. Red Tape Congress is being asked to clear the record of a California man who has been listed since 1863 as a deserter from the navy. On shore leave, it seems, he was shanghaied on a merchant vessel and carried about the Pacific for eight months. When he finally returned home he was listed by the navy as a deserter, and he hasn't yet been able to get the record changed. So now his congressman has to put a bill through Congress so that the navy’s records will not do the man an Old Ironsides will carry on her cruise many relics |, The history of this craft is so woven into the | romance of the nation that no better object lesson | in a Police handkerchief id the stu of a yellow theater AND, his son, goes to FIELD, where the thea- rt is.

That sort of thing explains why the average citi- zen is so distrustful of the efficiency and business- like methods of our gold-braided admirals., When an institution is so wound round with red tape that it can’t change a small error in a minor record in half a century, there is somtehing wrong with it Oddesseys a The superintendent of the Wisconsin Historical Society waxes elated over the discovery of certain historical reccrds touching on the career of the city of Kenosha nearly a century ago. He urges the city to establish its own historical society and keep stories and relics of its early days. It is an admonition that every town in the coun- try might heed. There are unnumbered Oddesseys in the tales of our cities and towns, each built by sacrifice and self-denial, each the dream of brave men and women who were willing to be pioneers. It is a great thing for a town to know its own his tory and be proud of it. The King’s Purse Kings and queens are human beings, after all. The king and queen of England were at a fair the other day. A Salvation Army girl came up to solicit a penny for her tambourine. The king felt for his purse, turned red, whispered the queen, who turned red also. Royalty had come off without a cent! The king and queen had to borrow money from their escort to make the contribution. Now if the king will only forget to pay it back, we shall know he’s just like the rest of us.

Traffic had stopped them at an in. tersection. He gazed about hi tle, too. Miss Talley, you remember, was able to get her musical training because her fellow citi- zens got together and contributed the price. That city may well feel a little honest pride. ‘| Editorial Comment _| In Just One County (St. Paul Dispatch) The result of a canvass of Barnes county, N.
