J, Beveridge In the death of Albert Jeremiah Beveridge, statesman, biographer and orator, a useful and picturesque figure has been removed from political life. He had a paradoxical as well as checkered Political career. Although a pioneer in child labor legislation, he was, on the other hand, an ardent advocate of a high protective tariff. For years he was most regular in his political beliefs, but sud- denly when Roosevelt’s star was at its zonith, he espoused many of the so-called progressive politi- cal “isms.” Despite the fact that he was one of the outstand- ing adyocates of the popular election of United lar vote. President Coolidge epitomizes his career in the following terse state “In scholarship, in lit- erature, and in politics, Beveridge was a great American figure.” Entering the United States senate when thirty- seven years of age, he served during a period of strife in the political arena; a time when the first shifé-was being made away from rigid party rule to the vicissitudes and vagaries of the prima law... When Roosevelt left the Republican party in 1912, Beveridge was among the faithful who fol- lowed blindly their hero. That defection from ma- chine politics brought sundry and swift changes , in Jip political fortunes. .% B tock defeat calmly. A student of history, he astered the philosophy and psychology of pelitics. Returning to the Republican fold after the Progressive movement dissipated, he became more or less regular. He toured the country for Charles Evan Hughes, but never became reinstated in the good graces of the Hoosier political bosses To them he remained more or less a pariah, to . whom the doors of close political communion were forever closed. Those who know the fibre of a had ridden too many political tangents. A Hoosier takes his politics like he did his whiskey—straight. But, as an orator -and historian, he was far above the average. As a constant contributor to popu- lar magazines, his views won a large audience, and an attentive hearing. His biography Marshiill, ‘first chief justice of the United States, is a real contribution to American letters. At his death, Beveridge was engaged upon an exhaustive study of Abraham Lincoln’s life and work. Two volumes were finished and in the hands of the printer. It is unfortunate that Beveridge’s death * prevented the consummation of this important work. Beveridge brought a most intimate knowledge of American history to the public service. He was essentially sound in his views and his untimely death is no small loss to an age in which the cali- bet of American statesmanship is none too high. , . Keep Your Feet on the Ground It is the easiest thing inthe wotld to allow your heart to dictate to your head; to'be carried away by emotions in which reason has no part. But, very often, it is disastrous. Probably you saw in the papers the other day a big photograph of the American marines parading in Shanghai. : The.picture showed the faultlessly drilled, sol- . dierly young Americans striding along in regular war-time guise; and at the head of the column was the color guard, with the American flag swelling out in the breeze. Jt was an inspiring picture. No American could ~ look at it without feeling a thrill run up and down spine. . ‘That flag means a great deal to all-of us; more than we can express. To see it borne at the head “of American troops in a distant lapd is bound to our hearts beating faster for a moment. ih we mustn’t let the thrill of pride that the D gives us blind us to the realities of the sit- ; in China. We mustn’t let it swing us un- ly isito a state of mind where we would C armed conflict between American troops the Chinese. ‘The Chinese situation is extremely delicate, led with possibilities that may re-echo for many rs to come. Let’s not let the waving of a beau- flag carry us away so that we lose sight of leep, involved issues at stake. keep our fect on the ground. The flag and mis marines are inspiring; to be sure; remember that our chief aim is to settle thing peaceably if it can possibly be by the Bismarck Tribune Company, | ect 00 | merges the others.

Accordingly, in 1923 it set aside more than half a million shares of stock to be divided among 80 executives. Those executives are now millionaires. | Furthermore, it is announced that this plan will |be extended to younger officers. | General Motors is proud of this reoord. It is | proud of the wide distribution of its stock, proud of the fact that it is making rich men out of its} employes. | Here, then, we have two diametrically opposite | systems. | Ford’s plan glorifies the central figure and sub- | General Motors reverses it. Which scheme is right? Which one is tks likely to become the standard for large American{ industries ? That, of course, is a hard question to answer. Perhaps one might say that both are right. For, however you look at it, you must admit that} both Ford and General Motors are wondrously suc- cessful. | | | | Mississippi Flood Control | Engineers have toiled to protect the great Mis- | sissippi valley from devastating floods since De La! Tour, the French engineer, who laid out New Or-| leans, built the first levee in 1717. Water from| thirty-one states drain into the Father of Waters. The fact that forty per cent of the country’s total area finds an outlet for surface drainage in the Mississippi complicates the problem; baffles the engineers and ,scientists. Impound the water at the source! some cry. Not so easy over such a wide area, replies the student of meteorological conditions. Building ‘this. year to impound a fancied rainfall, of next would be sheer folly. It is hard to -control waters the source of which varies from year to year. Doubt- less much can be done through drains and reservoirs at the headwaters, but that will not correct the situation entirely. Nor will reforestation stop the impact of un-| bridled waters, a pressure in the present flool | equal to that of twelve Niagaras. Probably onc | |of the worst floods occurred at St. Louis in 1844. ; when that section still had its forests primeval. Doubtless a combination of levees, drains, reser | voirs and catch basins will ultimately solve this dif-| \ficult situation. Neither time nor money should be {spared. It is a nation’s duty; a deep obligation; « |task more difficult than the building of a Panam canal, i Timely Words It was a very timely address that Dr. L. S, Rowe, |director general of the Pan-American Union, de- |livered the other night at the annual convention of | |the Daughters of the American Revolution. It was so good that we’re going to quote a short jexcerpt here. Think it over and sce if you don't ‘think he was right. “I want to congratulate you,” said Dr. Rowe, “on the great national service which you are per- firming in emphasizing the duties of patriotism as well as its rights. You are bringing home to the younger generation the outstanding fact that the great power and far-reaching influence exer- cised by our country carries with it heavy respon- sibilities and obligations. We must not lull our- selves to sleep with the thought that we are immune ‘trom the possibility of abusing that power. “It is a significant fact, which we should never lose sight of, that inaction is quite as far-reaching in its consequences as positive action.” A High Duty William Green, president of the American Fed- eration of Labor, adds his voice to the indorsemen?! of the annual “Buddy Poppy” sale of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. | Proceeds of this sale, as everybody knows, go to disabled and needy ex-service men. ; | It is regrettable that in some quarters there has been dissension about this sale. America has no duty higher than that. of caring for its wounded soldiers. It is a task that cannot be shirked; if the sale of Buddy Poppies helps, let’s buy ‘em, by all means. The Canadian Wheat Pool (Minneapolis Tribune) The business men’s commission which has been) investigating the agricultural situation in the) United States with a view ‘t& feeommending 3) remedy for farm ills has. virtually: icancluded- its | hearings. It will be interesting to know :what, the | commission will have to say in its final report, if anything, about the Canadian wheat pool, and about the practicability of cooperative marketing ma- chinery of this kind in this country. Different stories are told about the practical working of the Canadian wheat pool, in which there are 137,000 members—80,000 in Saskatche- wan, 38,000 in Alberta and 19,000 in Manitoba. One story is that in 1926 the pools paid an aver- age of $1.45 a bushel for wheat and that the aver- age non-pool price paid by the grain trade was $1.51, but Harold S. Fry of the Saskatchewan pool, writing for the Kiwanis Magazine, contends that the actual average paid by the trade probably was $1.40 a bushel, or 5 cents under the average paid by the pool agency. As the provincial pools mar- keted an aggregate of more than 100,000,000 bushels last year, the showing on this basis would ducers over what they would have received from the grain trade. a Premier Gardiner of Saskatchewan ‘is credited with the statement that the wheat pool had stabil- ized both agriculture and finance in that province, and Professor W.

You might do as Marion, played j by Jacqueline Logan, did in War- ner Bros.’ production of “Footloose Widows,-’ directed by Roy Del Ruth, featuring Louise Fazenda. She con- sented somewhat dubiously to the scheme without considering the pos- sible consequences, and departed for Florida with Flo and a complete widow's wardorbe in hopes of cn- snaring a rich and handsome hus- band. The girls got a splendid start but it was not long until they began to get their own feet tangled in the web of their deception, with cnor- mously humorous results. What came of it and how they emerged from their difficulities is most enter- tainingly presented in this adapta- tion by Darryl Francis Zanuck of the Beatrice Burton novel. rr hee |The picture comes to the Capitol | Old Masters | Theatre tonight:for a run of two Pana ail ces pen 6 | days. 3 What of the ‘darkness? fair?

Is it wiser for a woman to secretly bury her past or start her married life by con- fessing everything to her husband?
