Stephenson, former political leader of the state, and B6w in a penitentiary serving time for murder. is determined to blow the lid off Indiana polities. He started by giving out a canceled check, which he said he sent to Governor Ed Jackson as part of his “political expenses.” Of course, Jackson denies that the check was used Yor this purpose. He claims it was legally sent, to pay for the purchase of a saddle horse. But Stephenson says he has other material which will ghow conclusively that Jackson and others didn’#tread the straight and narrow all the time. St mson has been promising startling dis- has made an exhaustive study of the subject. He ‘has interviewed naturalists and other authorities ton the habits of wolves. He has supplemented this with his own personal knowledge. And the con- clusion he comes to is this: wolves donot hunt in packs, Furthermore, there is no authentic rec- ord of their ever having attacked human beings. This isn't what the old stories and melodramas would have had us believe. In them, usually, the locale is laid in kussia. turning from a dance. Suddenly, a pack of wolves starts chasing them. They drive faster and faster, but finally they are overtaken. They are saved only by throwing the bride to the wolves. She al- ways furnished a meal. It is too bad Mr. Stefansson makes his dictum. It denies a lot of people the chance to gasp when they reread old books. Perhaps he can be made ty deny it. If the tears and wailings of novelists and playwrights have any effect, he should retract and THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE News Views : | i The bridal” party is re-' ' save an old institution in American literature and drama.

One of the juries found &o evidence of corruption. The other one was dissolved when one of its members said he had been offered a bribe not to indict the mayor of In- dianapolis. But Indianapolis has voted for the city manager form of government, so this repre- sents a victory, to a certain extent. It is to be hoped that Stephenson has enough evi- dence to clear up the much beclouded political situ- ation in Indiana. Despite the fact he is an abhor- rent person, a murderer, he will be doing the state a great public service. Even the fact that he is probably actuated by a desire for revenge will not alter this. Do Forests Prevent Floods? The flood prevention question has already divid- ed flood prevention enthusiasts into two camps, and argument threatens to becloud the issue all sum- mer and even long into the winter, once congress gets round to tackling the problem. The issue which is causing much of the trouble is simply the question of whether or not forests tend to prevent floods. Proponents of this belief argue that excessive rainfall is held in the soil® by the tree roots, which act as a check, or natural reservoir, giving off the excess slowly, sponge fash- ion. Opponents argue that forest soil saturation is limited, and that flood prevention money spent on forest planting is wasted. They ask only that the whole appropriation be spent on levees. The truth of the matter probably is that a com- bination of the two systems, plus a limited storage system, will have to be worked out. . Forestation of river headwaters alone will not solve the problem, | any more than levees alone, or storage basins alone, will solve it.

Along no other north- ern transcontinental line can be found so many ur- ban centers. What is needed now is an awakening on the part Some of them are already ac tive and interested. The others should join in working for this much-to-be-desired project. If the northwest can guarantee the business—and it :can—and if it makes its desire evident enough— |and it should—there should be a new link in the air mail service, and not very long from now. Lloyd George rises frem obscurity to remark |that not more than 200 of the 700 members of the jhouse of lords have sufficient mental capacity to |administer government. Great Britain certainly jhas been playing in luck of late. Now that the flood refugees have gone back home, the country is heaving a sigh of content. One of the reasons why a flood refugee’s real troubles begin when he quits being one.

It will take much arguing to come to even this|again and again until the present president or an-; compromise conclusion, though, and the lasting pity is that the levees cannot be built of all the words that will be spilt in an effort to dam the flood wa- ters to come. : Society in Business - It being the privilege of newspapers—if not the duty—to comment on changing conditions of busi- ness and social life, it is in place to remark that business is more and more tending to take on a so- cial air. 7 Salesmen: fee to build up their clientele join every organization they can worm into. Any public service corporation that must keep on the good side of influential citizens sees to it that a vice president or two belongs to the local country club. Managers of new business departments of banks must be likely looking aides-de-camp who are con-/ versant with correct spoon and fork usage and other social graces. Keen Yankee drummers traveling southern ter- ritory before the war actually used to complain that no business transaction could be closed without « mint julep, for in those days Yankee business was strictly business and was not mixed with society. Now, however, all this is changed, and many of these Yankee firms have company bootleggers, whose upkeep and appropriation are charged against advertising. ” In big trade centers more business is done by salesmen after business hours than during the dav by entertaining visiting buyers and building up goodwill. Business, once such a serious thing, is now reading up.on the book of etiquette. Dinner For the Wolves One of the cherished institutions of novelists and ywrights probably has received a death blow. See Stefansson, famous naturalist, was the gentleman who administered the “coup de grace.” The institution which Mr. Stefansson took a punch at was.one which has furnished thrilling moments many novels; provided gasps in many plays. It swith the alleged voracity of wolves; their in packs, and their—alleged—fierce attacks te stonsens, whe, by the way, lived in the Dakota territory for some time, says that ht |into effect—if not this year, then next year, or the year after, or eventually. Congress will pass it other one signs it, or until a two-thirds majority to pass it over the presidential veto is mustered. |The fight must go on until it is won. This has the sound of a lost cause. We heard |much of the same sort when free silver as a pana- ‘cea for all economic ills began slipping into limbo. |The last days of any great illusion are usually il- . {lumined by desperate oratory, designed to Pears | | confidence among faltering followers. The orators at St. Paul have been mostly politi-| | cal leaders, senators and, congressmen and other in- ;surgents who view with apprehension the gradual {and steady rehabilitation of agriculture without the |use of their specific. They know that without | agrarian discontent their cause is lost, and agrarian j discontent is fading fast away. It was the return of prosperity that brought the evangels of free sil- | ver down in defeat. The rosy crop prospects of | the northwest bode ill for no one but those whose | political fortunes are wrapped up in the McNary- | Haugen scheme. | Even while the Csraways and Brookharts were ‘exhorting the conferees never, no never, to yield, a delegation of North Dakota farmers were telling |the president in the Black Hills a different tale. | They see a new rainbow in the sky that portends | Permanent relief for agriculture. They see dis- | tribution improved by the St. Lawrence seaway and | other measures, so that the farmer will get an equ2) | opportunity with the other fellow.- They see their own troubles “getting thinner” in North Dakota. , They feel growing confidence that sound measures will be worked out by the administration and con- | gress. The McNary project to raise prices by gov- | ernment control of the crop surplus has lost its | appeal to them as a piece of legislative wizardry. | The political note sounded clearly all through the talks at St. Paul. It daminsted ‘the conference. | Nataurally—for it was mostly politicians that did the talking. They poured out the vials of their wrath on Pres- ident Coolidge. They reviled him for having done his duty as he saw it in vetoing their dangerous and unworkable measure. They even charge him with jhaving gone to the Black Hills, not for a vacation, but on 2 quest for votes. Having themselves p'ayed politics with an economic question, they ascribe to him the same motives that actuate themselves. The conference at St. Paul was held, not t2 seek room toward tke kitchen.
