A Sfates will stay out of the world court. This is ; good news to a majority of Americans if true. In North Dakota and most mid-west the senti- nient is against entering the court. Scme who favor | the court idea are opposed to entry at this time while Europe feels as it does toward United States Tecause of the de More, however, oppose the plan because it is not in harmony with Amer- iea’s traditional and wise policy of evading Euro- pean entanglements. =President Coolidge has intimated that he will go to the senate again with the issue. He must put up to its membership the modifications proposed by the powers at Geneva to the various reservations attached t» United States’ entry into the world court. “Experienced Washington correspondents supposed to know how to diagnose the political pulse declare that the United States senate after what has hap- pened in several state elections will wash its hands of the whole troublesome affair. = Action at Geneva relative to American reserva- tions is reported to be disappointing tu President Goolidge and the friends of the world court plan in the senate.

RR Selling North Dakota “\This week Gov. Sorlic and other-state leaders: and builders will accentuate the value of North Dakota Soil in the production of sugar beets. There comes | to light at the same time, an application of the | Apiarists of this state for reduced rates 2n carload shivments of honey. 1 very few. North Dakota citizens realize thal honey is produced in this state in carload lots, Let’s ‘tell the whole world about it. There are so many furces.cf wealth in this treasure state that are under advertised. j ‘ Gov. Sorlie has done good work in seeking to sell | North Dakota to the outside. He has made consider- | able progress alcng this line, but the next legisla-| ture should make more funds available for ca fag eastern markets and attracting eastern capital | to this state. i ~ Years of undesirable publicity must be overcome. | f Gitizens of the cities are reaching a friendly accord | | With the farmers broken for a time by a vicious! ' Propaganda which Gov. Sorlie’s innate gocd nature | $ ¢ } } and tact have checked. There is now in the state | @n era of good feeling that can be stimulated to the| perntece of the state and her citizens. q = Greind Forks’ success with the beet industry and the -great progress cf the honey producers are mere- Ty examples of North Dakota’s greatness and should; despire more and more confidence. a When a Man’s a Man a For.mary, many years it has been customary to; €onsider that when a youth reaches the age of 21} _ he has attained his majority and is therefore man. The law so contemplates, for at that age ihe boy ceases to be an infant, under the care and direction of parents or guardians, and becomes a @eparate entity, empowered to sue and be sued in i his own name, to own real estate and other things @utright and in all other ways to take upon himself the full privilege of manhood. = Thus we have generally accepted the proposition that the boy becomes a man at 21. To the youth at 45, twenty-one soems a ripe and mature age, but the gin of 35 regards it as mere adolescence and ‘Fhe oldster of 60 secs 21 as the age of childhood. With these various viewpoints, therefore, there is real agreement on the age at which a youth be- gee man and the matter is further complicated the incontrovertible fact that some boys are men 17 and some men are children at 50. ~ To: get at the meat of any question similar, tu h is always necessary tego to bysiness for an where results and »not theories are the dards by which men are judged.

Thia, according to the company, is because a fall's ‘@f responsibility and his powers he Bismarck Tribune tie aaa ar his memory began to function and he realized his Publicity of various sorts is the mighty fulerum upon which operates a powerful lever. i This was brought to the attention of the world recently through the mistake of an obscure druggist in London. The apothecary gave his patron by mis- take pills containing a fatal dose of strychnine. After the druggist had retired for the evening, He only had one clue to the identity of | his purchaser, Calling on everyone by that name, in the vicinity, he failed to reach the proper party. Then he informed the pclice, newspapers and even enlisted radio in his frantic man hunt. The newspaper won the contest. The man who purchased the pills saw the warning in a London newspaper and returned the fatal dose intact. Such is the power of publicity! How Many Millionaires? Joseph S. McCoy, actuary of the United States treasury, states in an article in the American Bank- ers’ Association Journal that there are 11,000 mil-' lionaires in the United States, basing his calcula-/ ticns upon the income tax returns for 1924. But! does Mr. McCoy really know what he is talking about when he says that? How many millionaires are there in this country? Certainly we should estimate that the actual num- ber of millionaires in ‘the United States is far in xcess of 11,000, for, if 11,000 persons acknowledge and pay taxes upon one or more millions, what must the total be? Evading the payment cf taxes is one of the easiest of tasks for the wealthy, for they are able to retain the most skilled tax experts avail- able and thus are ccached in the thousand and one methods of evading the payment of income taxes to the government. Going forward upon the well-established theory that only ihalf cf those who should pay income taxes really pay them in proportion to their true wealth and income, we may safely estimate the number of millionaires as from 22,000 to 25,000. Even this rather large total, however, is not an over-large one for a pcpulation of over 100 millicns of people. Millionaires, at that estimate would thus constitute less than one-fortieth of one per cent of the total population. These figures would seem to show that the hue and cry against wealth as controll everything is foolishness, for there is only one millionaire in every 4,000 persons, at most. By the weight of majority rule the millionaire has 3,999 persons against him and it is needless to point out that the only reason the one millionaire is ever able to accomplish things at variance with the best ‘interests cf every- ‘ome is because the 3,999 do not take enough inter- est in their own welfare to protect themselves from the money menace. By this analysis, millionaires do not seem so formidable, || Batorial Comment —_|| Life (Duluth Herald) A party of friends had come through a storm on the water that, while not at all dangerous, had made some of them. think. more than usual of the perils of the‘deep. The storm had been followed by a peaceful calm, as storms always are; for in the depth of the might- iest storm it is possible to look forward confidently to the calm that lies ahead, and without the storm we would not, perhaps, appreciate the calm as we} should. In the ease of that peace they were talk- ing, these friends, of life and death, “I was just thinking,” said one, “that it would not be so terrbile to go that way, all together with- out parting. Life is often hard for all of us, and it | is hard most of the time for many of us. Death,| the common lot, at least ends the struggle.” “That is so,” said another. “We must go some time. Human life, compared with eternity, is ap-| pallingly brief. What real difference does it make whether we go now or a few breaths later?” | And then in a little while that last one spoke | again. | “No,” he said, “1 was thoughtlessly wrong—we | were both wrong—about that.
