The governor pointed out very lucidly at the | start that there was no need for excitement, special message or other flubdub with which the politicians so dearly love to palaver the public. 5 Of course, wholly aside ‘from the merits of the impasse which some political wiseacres have tricd to create is the discredited and decrepit I.

However, Governor Sorlie is not going to be stampeded on the eat all. He views the entire | situation as a busin proposition and not one that need cause any alarm or loss of sleep. lation ¢ Can a “Miss” Handle This Job? Grace Dailey, a young womah who was admitted | to the bar in the state of Washington in 1923, has just been appointed divorce proctar for King’s county, in that state. Seattle being the principal city in her county, it looks as if Miss Dailey has taken on a real job. The divorce proctor’s duties are to investigate divorce cases and report-to the judge. Upon the , proctor’s findings often rests the final decision or decree. The position is an important one. The hap- piness of families and the destinies of little chil- dren often are involved. Making the news more interesting is the fact that it’s Miss, not Mrs. Dailey. Would it be better if she were a married woman, familiar with the traits of the male in his domestic lair? Or is it well that she is single, that her sense of justice’has not been influenced in any way. by mari- tal experience, and that she is unbiased 4m all re- spects toward married life and its problems and prejudices? What do you think about it? glad to have your opinion. This paper will be The Era of Machines According to testimony in the Ford tax suit at Detroit, Henry Ford has no need of employing skilled mechanics. An official testified that the machinery in the Ford factories has been so perfected that a totally unskilled man could learn how to use it in three | . days, and at the end of that time could do as well s a veteran employe. There’s a significance in that beyond what ap- Pears on the surface. It heralds the slowly dawning era of super-ma- chines, in which automatic engines will relieve the " the Bismarck Tribune Company, ‘Bismarck, N.

The old ideas of the wind rap- strengthened. At least the legislature has had a chance to see its. danger. Cities of the Future Thomas A. ison, the famous inventor, cor- demns the city of today as having outgrown its use- | fulness and at the same time envisions the scientific city of the future where everything will be planned and run to save time and effort, instead of wasting it, as does the city of today. In the city of the future, Mr. Edison says, traffic congestion will be solved by the mathematician, who will supplement the traffic policeman. Crime would decrease before the advent of the scientific Police- | man and taxes would become astonishingly low with | government of the cities by experts, he claims. And noise? Sad to say, it will be worse, far | worse. In fact, so noisy will these cities be that | the population will become sufficiently deafened by nature so that nerves will be able to withstand the increased din. , Much more follows, each point limning a city of | the future that seems queer‘and distorted to us, yet, at the time his first electric lights were being tested on Fourteenth street, not so many years ago, that the New York of today would be a fact, Thomas Edison himself, seer though he was in his line, | would probably be l@ked upon as an extravagant | | flight of fancy. In one contention, however, we are in hearty | accord with Mr. Edison’s city of the future and that _{is its restriction cf skyscrapers. Picturesque though | | they are, there is but little doubt that they gain lit- | | tle in efficiency by reascn of their height and in! fact may lose much, due to the loss of time of huge masses of people entering and leaving the buildings at the same time. It would seem to the casual observer that a lower building, more spread out than is the present sky- scraper, would bo the most desirable type cf build- ing for a city, from a utility standpoint. i —-—_—_——_—_. Was This the Reason? New York has a new law which makes it obliga- tory for a judge to sentente.to ‘life imprisonment any prisoner who already has been sent to jail three times, In a prote: jamuel Newberger, a New York man of seme note i h me town, arises to say that in ill not prevent crime. n't. Perhaps we sha!l have crim: 1 on this mundane sphere. It is cur since Adam and Cain. It goes cn and on. ulway Bat, it is possible that the New York legislature, | passing the life law, so acted with the idea that the law might fail to prevent crime, but at least it vould prevent crime on the part of those criminals f placed behind the bars for life. It may have occurred to them that the best place ‘or a criminal is in jail. It’s No Job to Covet The president of the United States, in the eyes of the average American, has a fine job. He has honor, dignity, power, fame. He occupi he first place in the country; has the highest posi- tion his fellow citizens can give him. It looks nice. But before you begin to envy Presi- dent Coolidge, stop and think of the problems that are confronting him. He has a very tangled, intricate course to pursue in regard to our relations with Latin America; a course where a misstep might easily bring war. The entire question of our course in China must soon be passed on by him. Here, also, the possi- bility of war looms ominously in the background. These perplexing issues arise in addition to the! myriad lesser problems that come in the natural course of government. When you feel that it would be nice to be presi-' dent, think of that, too. Kansas, apparently, is about to repeal her famous anti-cigaret law. News dispatches state that the repeal campaign has received most of its strength from the ex-serv i men, who recalled the solace and comfort given then: in trying times by “fags,” and who also remem- bered that all the welfare agencies helped to supply them. The war taught us a lot of things. Apparently, among these, it taught us that thereare lots of things more wicked than cigarets, | Editorial Comment Tennessce’s State Religion (The N.Y, World) .

It is made up of the 3000 men,, women and children who live on the coal barges that float lazily up and down the river, The coal barges are ancient wooden hulks, many of them dis- mantled square-riggers shorn of foarte FANNY SAY: \RPER their former trim beauty, dis- * Bob,” nce Knowles: Love 4the enforcement of prohibition was masted and reduced to mere oblong boxes with rounded ends, covered with hatches from stem to stern and fitted aft with little deck houses, usually containing a couple of rooms, .each of which measures about 6 by 8 feet. Each barge has its bargeman, who lives in the cabin, tends the lights, handles lines and looks after) the hulk generally. Some of these men are bachelors, living in soli- tary comfort, strange hermits sur- rounded by millions of peopic; others are married and their iami- lies live on the barges with them. Some of, the married bargemen hardly have ideal domestic establish-| ments. In many cases a man and hig wife and three or four children live all together in the two little cab- ins of a barge. This is not because of any love for river life, but be- cause the bargeman’s wages—around $90 or $100 a month—do not ailow separate home ashore. The children usually miss school entirely. They are out of reach of truant officers. Their quarters, often, are filthy in the extreme. They grow up stunted, uneducated, sickiy. Bargemen have no time off. They are required to be on their craft at) all times, including Sundays and holidays. To be sure, their work is not extra arduous, and some of the single men enjoy a lazy, carefree existence; but it is hardly a life for a family man. New York, home of sonie 2,000,000 Jews, has just disproved an old tradi- tion—namely, that most Jews are en- gaged in commerce, The first edition of “Who's Who in Jewry,” just published, shows that of 2527 Jews listed as prominent, only 60 are bankers, 9 are brokers, 7 are capitalists and 9 are real estate operators. On the other-hand, 414 physicians and surgeons are listed, 310 lawyers, 277 rabbis, 125 engineers, 98 artists, 80 musicians and 93 professors. Ninety-four merchants and 32 manufacturers are mentioned. | The average Broadwayite might be inclined to laugh if you mentioned Crawfordsvifle, Ind., to him-but ‘three present-day’ Broadway successes are the work of people born in Crawfords- ville. | The movie “Ben Hur,” was writ- was concerned, hearings how to Hours used stills, of the showing reading were make ipes. for making beer, and in the attempt to defame some of. the greatest names in American history.

The bill has no connection with the announced prin- ciples of either faction, and there is nothing in its nature that should have it opposed by either body. I feel that greater care should be taken in the education of young people. Evil is rapidly growing in America and a greater disrespect is developing for the teachings of the Bible. If this continues I feel that the very foundations of our gove! ment will be shaken and perhaps des- troyed. Very truly, +L. 0. RICHARDSON, Representative, Adams county. POWER BELONGS TO LEGISLA- |, TURE ip Bismarck, N. D., January 31, 1927. Editor Tribune: Your paper recently quoted Mr. Livdahl, one of the members of our bureau, to the effect that senate bill 65 was “vague, indefinite, haphazard- ly drawn, and leaves the bureau al- most inoperative.” I trust that you did not quote him correctly, or that he pointed out iq detail to the committee the reasons for such statements, because it is my impression that the members of this paid prior to death are deducted from the death award. For example: Claim No. 7032 at Fargo had awards of about $5,700 prior to the death of the injured per- son, Ohio's death limit is $6,500. Hence, according to the letter from strengthened. This shows the senti- ment of the congress which was elect- ed by the people of the country and which reflects their sentiment. The voters of North Dakota have very recently expressed themselver on the prohibition question. The country has been overrun with un- reliable straw votes and fake refer- endums. An election. wh this question is an jue is a genuine referendum and shows the real-senti: ment of the people, One man, C. P.
