(Official City, State ee d County Newspaper) The Christmas Spirit Bismarck this year is reflecting more than in many years past the Christmas spirit. Es ecially indicative of civic enterprise are the street decora- tions which yre most effective at night. The mer- chants have put much effort in converting their into bowers of Christmas cheer. Merchan- actively displayed and the tout en- semble of streets, store windows and interior com- bine to give Bismarck a most impressive yuletide setting. The various messages over the radio have had a decided effect in promoting the spirit of good-fellow- ship which should rule at this season of the year. Societies are working and planning t» bring cheer into the dark corners of the city where misfortune has upset Christmas plans. Doubtless the call will come for good fellows to be messengers of Christmas cheer to those homes where otherwise there might be the tragedy of the empty stocking or the blasting of a youthful belief that Santa Claus never passes by even the neey humble abode. The response should be generous to the call for workers to curry the message of good will. Bis- marck has always done its duty in the past and if any family was neglected it was because the want was unknown to those who outline the Christmas budget of the good fellows, Let the preaching of the Christmas spirit continue Already the results of the yuletide effort are notice-| uble. Childhocd’s Holy Wraith We sprint here and there through crowded, gasp- ing stores. We thrust loiterers with our elbows, we push venerable ladies away from handkerchief coun- ters, we hurl imprecations at traffic jams, and we feverishly label Christmas the biggest commercial plot of the ages. But—and this “but” is everlasting— A tiny wraith persistently pursues us, a rollicking, care-free wraith that we cannot shake off. It hovers just over the rocking-horses, the electric trains, the drums and the horns in the department stores. It shines back at us out of the faces of the boys! and girls we see on the snowy streets or at play in- dcors on these long winter evenings. Its ghost leaps out of the past to allure us to tinker with a mechanical steam shovel or a “mama”| doll that we come acré we ‘hunt gifts for “Aunt Emma's bey and girl, William ard Mary.” It is a wraith we never can clude, no matter how ‘old or how cross we are. Its ghostly hands are locked warmly about our hearts forever. Its clean, fresh face laughs at our frowns. When we sit at the fireside, watching the bewitch- ing figures that leap and dance in the crackling flames, the wraith mocks us. Or, pleasantly, it takes our hands and wends along the old, familiar way to the home of our youth, leading down the well- remembered street whereon we know every house single face that passes. ith of our childhood, and we never can quite escape its charm. Pennies For Health Twenty years ago tuberculosis claimed the lives -of 200 out of every 100,000 people in this country. Its ravages were on the increase. In the year 1907, little stickers bearing the cross of health began appearing on a few envelopes and ‘packages at Christmas time. In that year the sale, at a penny each, amounted to $3,000—not much, but @ starter, Last year $4,900,000 was realized through the sale wf these Christmas seals and the campaign against the dreaded white plague went into its nineteenth “year. With what results! i The death rate from tuberculosis has been cut amore than half during those 19 years, last year’s toll being 90 ‘out of gvery 100,000 people. Over the Period of years that the sale of stamps has sup- Ported the anti-tuberculosis campaign, the lives of *1,300,000 people have been saved, a little more than one one-hundredth of the entire population of the “United States! Capitalizing the lives that have been saved at $5,000 each, the saving in wealth alone amounts to #$6,500,000,000. But there is an intangible saving greater than mere figures and numbers can tell. It is represent- ed by the bloom of health upon a cheek that was pallid. ‘ : Still Ahead, Thank You hout Great Britain these slogans are every- “Buy in Britain” and “British * Alferican buyers are exhorted differently.

D., the Indian population | went to the polls and elected an entire county ticket | | of red men—the first time in American history that | |such 2n event has been recorded, Thomas Eagle- | | man, elected clerk of court, says: “What is the| ‘use of the government educating the Indians if | they are not to take their proper place in the affairs | of the county?” an utterly and entirely American | | doctrine that many white people have yet to learn. | | But while this exhibition of interest in affairs of | | government was taking place in South Dakota,! | Indians in Nevada were holding an election.

An aged| | brave was elected and a feast and sun dance were | held in honor of the occasion, in which the younger | and defeated candidates took part. | | The contrasting incidents simply teach that the] [Indian differs little from men whose skins are of janother color, The protest, by those who would! {go back to the ways of our fathers, against the} | Younger generation and its ways, is case in point. | | The Nevada Indian will doubtless -yiéw with alarm | | the action of his South Dakota brothers, and the | | latter will regard the Nevada red men as retrograd- | ling old fogies. | | sae | | The National Livestock Show | (Kansas City Star) | | The culminating events in the livestock world for) |the past year will be the American Royal show held in Kansas City and the International Exposition in| | Chicago. While the showing of livestock is the | event around which the shows are built, the purpose ‘is educational. The tremendous growth of voca-| nal education throughout the entire country has/ | sitated the holding of an annual congress of | vocational students. The American Royal has been| ‘designated as the official home cf this congress. | Livestock judging contests will feature the meeting. | | A splendid educational program has been worked out | | for boys and girls during the Royal week. | | The commercial livestuck man may have no im- mediate perscnal interest in the individual classes. | | He must realize that his excellent displays of fat and] | feeder stock in the carlot division are dependent upon | | the constructive work of the men who devote their| time, energy and capital to the production of pure-| | bred individuals. Purebred livestock is assembled at| | these national shows for the purpose of comparative |study.

The livestock farmer has an opportunity to observe classes and the methods of production followed by successful! feeders and exhibitors. He can go home with a definitely fixed ideal toward which he can work. The large livestock shows are the result of years of breeding, months of fitting and training. Rivalry between breeds and within breeds is keen. The development brought about through the show ring| \is responsible for improved types.

The business of the client has ap- peared in the news, as the advertising firm sees it, detrimentally. The managing editor is requested to avoid this where possible, as the effect might be damaging to the client. Any citizen who felt that the breaks in the news were doing hin an injury unjustly would be received in the right spirit in a decent newspaper’s news offices, He would not be so well received if he made his way to the local room through the advertising office. What arouses resentment in a newspaper office is the presumption’ that justice would be done a citizen more quickly and more completely if the pressure of advertising were added to his case. In the present instance we do not know whether the advertising agency acted on its own initiative or at the request of the client, The error was wherever the idea was. The Tribune does not intend to injure any one unjustly and in this case was not aware that news has been breaking badly for the business in ques- tion. If the connection of the business with the news was essential to the news it would be unavoid- able injury, one which would not be the business of the newspaper to prevent by suppression. If the damage was done by unjust incident the direct ap- Proach of the injured citizen to the managing editor would have given him full consideration. Approach through an agency placing advertising implies not only that presstre was the only way of getting justice but that it was a means of getting undeserved favors, s The news of The Tribune is not edited by the ad- vertising department.
