In the third battle of the times, there is a great likeness to the everlasting struggle for free speech. Paul fought that battle against the Romans. Ba- “cen put some of his ideas in code because he knew ‘that they were too advanced for his time, and he! rm dared not utter them. The troublesome problem of states’ rights seems to be included in the fourth battle which Dr. Frank jists. The struggle is older than our- civil war, “@f course, for the question of whom the people shall Permit to rule them goes back to the time that the first tribe came under the subjugation of a strong- “gr neighbor. Caesar, Constantine, Genghis Kahn, Napoleon “and all the other great emperors were in their way great internationalists, for every dream of empire is an effort to fuse two peoples of different races. And so, it seems, the five great battles which Dr. Frank predicts for the next quarter century are the battles of mankind through all the ages. There is *mothing new to them except their names. Funda- Hag since civilization dawned. 3, The prophecy, in so far as it is a prophecy, is Optimistic in that it believes the battle will be q less and that they will be settled within so ort a time. If they are bloodless battles, it wi'l be proof that civilization has advanced a trifle, at Yeast. That they will be settled within twenty 3 years is open to doubt. : Heroes and Homage 4, What becomes of our heroes?

Chicago and Illinois are wont to regard states to the west of them as “cow states,” peopled by per- sons they deem rather inferior, North Dakota comes under that classification, in their eyes. But, at any rate, if we are “hicks” here, we have the satisfaction of knowing we do not stand alone. Chicago joined us at the last election. Ili- nois, through its legislature, joined us last week.

Editorial Comment Wheat and the Price of Bread (St. Paul Daily News) Senator Nye of North Dakota made an interesting statement recently regarding the MeNafty-Haugen hill and the threatened increase in the cost of bread. Four ard four-tenths bushels of wheat are util-|,. ized in the manufacture of a barrel of flour. all of this wheat stays in the flour. jcent of it is utilized there, the remaining 30 per cent being finished in by-products. Not Only 70 per Consequently the actual bushelage of wheat'in a barrel of flour is only 3.08. An increase of 50 cents per bushel in the price of wheat, it must therefore .be seen, adds only $1.54 to the cost of a barrel of flour. “Three hundred and thirty four one-pound loaves of bread are available from a barrel of flour. Di- vide the $1.54 increased wheat cost by that number of loaves, and you will find the added cost of each exact. per year. ‘Plaudits.

IN NEW YORK _ | hl SS a a RRR | New York, June 16.—The mega- phone wielder for the “seeing New | York”ybus still tells the joke about \the wthdy corncr and the lady's skirt as the wagon takes the sharp turn in front of the Flatiron Building. It seems the fashion among those who guide visitors about town to keep alive these moss covered traditions. : « « Today the Flatiron building is a sort of old-fashioned, demure cou- sin ofthe flaring skyscrapers that rise all around, and the wind that whisks about its sharp nose is ni more nor léss than may be found o: a hundred corners. As for a lady's skirt blowing in the wind, such sights create scarce passing attention in a day when eyes are educated to the i knee-length apparel. . . “Gosh, I'm sorry!” Joy shivered, | | then began to cry too. “I'll tell her I'm sorry, Faith.

In no place in Manhattan is it easier to get a drink than on the Bowery. . . . if you don’t care what you drink, The bum who stops and asks you for a dime will, ten chances to one, sweep your nostrils with a breath that confesses heavy bibbling. In the Bowerp’s lower reaches, bar- ber ‘colleges hang their signs where all may see. . . . In the basements, you find, a shave may be had for a nickel and a haircut for 15 cents. . . . The prices range upward and downward and, in one second story place, there is’ absolutely no charge. Here you fall into the hands of bar- berous freshmen and take your own chances, . . || s The bus veers suddenly near “five corners”---that snot in lower Manhat- tan where all the world comes to a hub in America--and shoots into Chinatown. Again the megaphone artist bursts into a moss-covered monologue. He tells of secret pas- sages, sinister shadows, of cerie-this and menacing that. Then he guides his passengers into- tourist-made joss house, the price of entry to which is fifty cents. Thereafter the tour becomes one catch-penny stunt after another, until the teurist becomes convinced that the greatest menace is to his credulity and purse-strings, These bus-talks, I am told, were written many a year ag® when the tours first bevan and have been changed -but slightly since. . .
