PAYNE, BURNS & SMITH ‘NEW YORK - | - = Fifth Ave. Bldg. : (Official City, State and County Newspaper) —— Have Your Fun, Boys i It is positively amazing the way a man can ‘go into a laboratory and do great deeds these «days. We are inclined to believe that Horace 1 Greeley today would have said “Go test! An Oxford anatomist approaches the ros- ‘trum. Doubtless he will have something very important to say. Maybe he has invented a cure for cancer or found a way to chase the freckles right off a person’s neck. Let us lis- ten. Very well, doctor, proceed. It seems that a woman’s legs usually are shorter and her arms longer than man’s, the laborer of the laboratories informs us. There-| fore, women are more like apes than men. This cold light of logic bursts into a world struggling with the darkness. Further, it is learned, that until a baby can walk it resembles the ape in almost every re- spect, we're told. And it is only conceit which makes mankind believe it has not descended from the simian. The proof? Well, structural similarities certainly cannot be ignored. Very well, professor. Thank you for that il- luminating half hour. It’s grand, science is, nowadays, and the way these fellows go dig- ring up the most remarkable facts is simply marvelous. Professor, you’re magnificent. We'll be on our way now, back to America. A university president is going to give us an en- terts’ nt with orthodoxy, heterodoxy and othe ‘+s tonight. It’ll be too important to miss. He wov'dn't turn his hand over, our Yankee prexy rem°rks, to induce any man to believe what he, ‘he prexy himself believes. Now, isn’t that rice? But wait, he has more to say, and it runs like this: “But I wish to say with all possible emphasis that there are two things no reasonable man ean ever believe. He cannot believe that this marve'ous world came by chance and he can- sat believe that he himself is a mere machine.” There you '-ve the gem of tolerance, brought »> from the ~~ ‘»’s fathomless caves and placed ‘@ht on ext” ‘on. Just take a look at it, see what itisanc ~ your way, Tolerance is fine, in other words, if the other fellow does the tolerating. If you believe man a machine and the world an accident, you're not allowed to nut in your oar at all. Us toler- ant people have to stick together. We wouldn’t turn our hand to make some- one believe what we believe. But what we believe let none who believe otherwise ever open his lips to contradict. What a pure gem toler- ance is! Just a couple of the wonderful things we're finding out nowadays! Through With Russia The British Labor party has announced in unmistakable tones that it is definitely through with palavers with the Soviet Russian labor organization. A short while ago, labor party leaders de- clared their party’s plan to withdraw from their cooperative pact with Russian laborites. But apparently some of the members of the party could not hear well. Consequently they “moved a resolution that steps be taken to bring about a reunion of the international working class political movement through the medium of @ conference. There was a heated debate on the motion, and the men who were playing the roles of paci- fiers sat down confident that the reunion would be consummated. ‘Then it came to a vote, and by as decisive a margin as had been given any important measure, it was defeated. It speaks well for the British laborites that they refuse to be duped. They have learned enough about the ways of the Russians to know that benefit will never accrue to them through affiliation with a group whose aims are so dif- ferent. And they are determined that their pety shall continue along the lines set by its founders, to work for better conditions for the English laborer. Snobbery in the Philippines Senator Hiram Bingham made a fair and square statement of facts about the Philippine situation in Honolulu the other day, and wheth- er or not his speech may bring any change in the attitudes of the governing Americans toward the Filipinos, it will stand as a finely tolerant talk by a man whose study of island problems entitles him to careful consideration. Senator Bingham related to his audience how he had been invited as a guest of honor to a banquet in a Manila club whose membership is composed largely of officials. He asked, he said, whether such outstanding native politi- clans as President Manuel Quezon of the Philip- pice senate or Senator Sergio Osmena, inde- Pendent Jeader, would be present. that no inos were ever admitted e club. gentlemen,” “but I shall not be ” He went on to that, by, their action, they —|usable part of the park system. was an hatic denial, and he was|itself when everybody avails only helping prolong the agitation for inde pendence. The tendency of officials in eastern coun- tries not to have anything to do with native leaders may have a great deal more to do with the discontent among the peopla whom they represent than a cursory glance It is a certainty that no country has ever made much progress in keeping the people of its possessions satisfied.and happy when the officials decline to sit down and talk over the problems which must be faced with the rep- |resentatives of the masses. As Senator Bingham says, it is not likely that a snobbish and superior attitude will go far toward dampening the desire of the Filip- inos for independence., They must be met on a plane of equality if the government wishes any moderation in their demands, Preserving Wooded Areas One point made by H. D. Freeman, planning expert, in his talk before civic bodies Wedngs- day was that preservation of woodland areas in the park system of the city was one of the important things to be considered in making any plan for future development. The first step has already been taken by the park board in acquiring a strip of land along the river near the Memorial Bridge. This is to be developed and rodds and paths are to be laid out so that it will be a valuable and But there are other wooded areas close to Bismarck which should also be considered in any comprehensive plan. Limited funds mike it impossible for the park board to acquire them immediately, but dt is hoped that, in time, they will become public property. In this section of the country, where an ef- fort is made to plant and nourish trees and other vegetation so carefully, we should also take into consideration the things nature has already given us. In_ preservation of the woods near the bridge, the park board has done} ‘a good thing. It is to be hoped that citizens | will cooperate with it to the fullest extent in obtaining other property which will assure this city a park system second to none in the state.| | Editorial Comment | Two Kinds of Courage (Duluth Herald) Secretary of the Navy Wilbur Wednesday telegraphed Edward F. Schlee at Detroit con- dolences on his illness and praise for the cour- age he and his companion, William S. Brock, showed in undertaking their flight around the world. That praise is deserved. It takes high cour- age to plan so hazardous an adventure. But these men deserve praise, too, for the higher form of courage they showed in aban- doning their project after they had got as far as Japan, when it was plain suicidal folly to carry it farther. To do that, they had to face down the fear of being thought afraid, which is just as im- portant a brand of courage as that which prompted them to try to fly a®ound the world. Bertin Raises Salgries (Asheville Times) Economically speaking, Germany feels bet- ter. Oct. 1 the salaries of national govern- ment officials were raised all along the line, the total increased salary expenditure amount- ing to 1,500,000,000 marks annually, a sum almost equel to the reparations payments un- der the Dawes-Young plan. general of reparations, looked over the pro- posal and found in it nothing to interfere with German payments on the war debt. If the German government is able to pay better salaries to its employes, the larger pay roll will be a sign of economic and financial recovery in Germany. At the same time it should strengthen the prestige of a still young government with iis civilian workers and among the tradesmen of Berlin. ‘Somewhere’ Gets Nowhere (St. Paul Dispa‘ch) We are all indebted to Cardinal O’Connell for calling attention te the words of “Beautiful Isle of Somewhere.” A large chorus of con- tempt for the three verses and the refrain has followed his denunciation. Woodrow Wilson, when governor of New Jersey, declared the hymn was “silly,” in which leading ministers of the Northern Minnesota Methodist conference, meeting in Minneapolis, agreed. “Somewhere the sun is shining,” the openinz line, followed by “Somewhere the songbirds dwell,” may be an allusion to the hereafter, but the second and third verses are definitely cryp- tic. “Somewhere the day is longer” is equivo- eal. Days of gloom and distress are long enough. “Somewhere the load is lifted by an open gate” is rather vague. On the whole, this song should be sung only by sopranos, whose words nobody attempts to bring down to earth. Will Speed Defeat Itself? (Cincinnati Times-Star) It is ninety-two miles from New York to Philadelphia, and trains easily make the dis- tance in two hours. Leandre Vaillat, corre- spondent of the Paris Temps, driving a car, found that it took him five hours. Writing for his paper, he describes the scene: “Ve- hicles in an uninterrupted procession each way”; villages with “stop” and “go” lights, holding up of releasing traffic; foot passengers, “proscribed as undesirables,” crossing by bridges and subways; the curious oriental res- ignation of drivers at the ferry where a thou- sand machines waited their turn, and “sat there for an hour without an oath, without any exhibition of ill humor, without one word raised higher than any other.” Here is exaggerated illustration of a real American problem as viewed by transatlantic ht reveal. } It is understood that Gilbert Parker, agent- 6 ‘THE BISMA RCK TRIBU | | f Bruce Patton she had a sudden un- shakable conviction that this new “flame” of Cherry’s was not a solu- tion at all, but a whole new problem in himself.

Adorable!” Faith rose abruptly then. “I must have theen asleep,” she said drowsily. “What time is it, Cherry?” é Cherry whirled out of the man’s embrace, her golden eyes wide and startled.

The very stands are settings a la Ziegfeld, Shubert, Buck, White or what have you, dripping with green vines and rimmed from roof to greensward with flower boxes. And, in the betting ring, you see all those gay old boys with gray bowlers, checked pants, high rounded collars; striped spats, purple spats, checkered spats, derbies of every shape and color; whiskers squared at the corners, Van Dyked, ruffled, frizzled, frayed and furbelowed. Gay old fellows, with a cute little mannequin parked on the pebbled promenade. As the gay dogs do their betting, the mannequin does her strolling. The shops of the Rue de la Paix or the upper Champs | Elysees send them forth in all that is ultra-ultra to preen like peacocks before the crowds of fashionable folk, with one eye particularly fixed on the fickle American dollar, ** The American dollar is out in all its glory.

A Paris designer, wishing to create a sensation that would at- tract the attention of the American photographers and reporters at the track, sent out a parade of girls dressed in the tightest of dresses. As they hobbled glong, displaying this’ ridiculous model, two of them stumbled and tore their skirts at the side, thus displaying shapely calves. Quick as a flash a fashion scout, looking on, got a bright idea.

Time was when the impartial an- alyist wondered how much of that oft-repeated assertion could be traced to Smith propaganda. But be- cause of the way the Republicans have acted, it’s hard to Privately, some They appear to have been figur- ing on Smith’s nomination for a long time back. They hope the mocrats will tear each other to a frazzle before they name him, but they don’t see how the nomi- paign in which they’ wil) win by no great margin * b st. There is, of course, some dif- ference of opinion among the G. 0. P. pols. There’s some among the Democratic pols, too, but in his own party perhaps a majority of those oppose Smith believe ie best chance of strongest candi- date for nomination may be—and doubtless is—a peculiar commentary on the party, its leaders, the Amer- ican political .system and the intel- ligence of the electorate, but that’s no consolation to the anti-Smith crowd. Smith’s Brent weakness from any altruistically intelligent point of view is the fact that he has never expressed himself upon any broad national o1 ternation! issue save the prohibi question. But from the standpoint of the professional Politicians, there lies hi. greatest strength. His only opposition comes from the drys and the religiously in- tolerant. se & The weakness of Jim Reed, from the nomination standpoint, lies in the fact that he has tackled the national issues so vigorously and made him- self so many enemies. He has made the drys hate him worse than they hate Smith, he incurred the abso- lute loathing of loyal Wilson men and he excited the enmity of the farmers by his anti-farm relief speeches, just to mention a few things. If it were not for these factors Reed might now be a_ stronger candidate for nomination than Smith. If your correspondent were the Republican candidate—and probably the reader agrees with him—he would infinitely rather campaign against Smith than a human bolt of lightning like the red hot Senator Reed. And it may be that many Republicans are thankful that it looks more like Smith than it looks like Reed. But there will be no hallelujahs from them in either event. The Republicans will nominate of months they were known from California to Manchuria .. . as all of you will remember. Returning to the gay old dogs, many of whom remind you of the Viennese’ operas or the old Sam Bernard roles .. this is their para- dise. They have the market corner- ed on the girlies with the “oo, la, la” eyes. They have the bankrolls, they have the price of champagne, they have the gay stories and the years of experience and so, in best musical comedy fashion, you will see them parading about with the best groom- ed, youngest and most attractive of the cuties. : A young fellow hasn’t a chance «++. unless some middle-aged and rich widow takes a fancy to him.

O. P., it would do likewise, as in 1920 and 1924. But unless it desires to be bogged worse than ever, it must nominate a man with popular appeal over a wide area. If Reed hadn’t made himself so many enemies, he would be better off. Or, to vee it in any other way, if Smith had made as many enemies as Reed oe ‘hed ee re ie ee e logic of tl mith candidacy and the Republican realization of it ties up with the recent somewhat rash utterances of. Theodore Roose- velt before the Republicans of New York state. Roosevelt said that Tammany Hall was corrupt and that Smith was a ege he was supported by Tammany. Doubtless Tammany is corrupt, and so are the political machines of Chicago, Philadelphia and various other large cities, but that had very little to do with the case because no president, Republican or- Democrat, has ever been elected without the aid of some of them. Republicans romptly admitted that young eddy’s anti-Smith speech was for distribution and Democratic consumption in the south and west. In other wozds, it was to make the going harder for Smith and_to increase dissension within the Democratic party. see The older leaders here seemed to agree that the speech wasn’t smart Politics. It certainly couldn’t make anti-Smith men out of pro-Smith men. On the other hand, it might cause those on ‘the fence to realize that the other party was afraid of Smith. It is the Republican game to stir up all the strife possible among the Democrats, but you can’t really expect the Democrats to take ublic instructions from ung, joosevelt or any other tbtican as to whom they should ni te. _ The surest rar to cause @ fight- ing husband and wife to make up and Bradt a united front is to interfere in their private quarrel, Smart outsiders keep out of fam- ily rows. Some, of the older leaders never have been convinced that young Teddy was very bright. They tried to dissuade him from_making the Rochester speech. But the bit- ternéss of men like Roosevelt and Ogden Mills who have been defeated when they ran for governor against Smith always has been profound. It may be remembered that the Smith faction drove hard at McAdoo on the basis of his connection with Doheny of oil scandal fame. This faction is now in a position to point to young Roosevelt, the young man who couldn’t scent corruption when it was right under his nose while he was assistant sectetary of the navy, butiwho is now boldly attribut- ing it to political enemies. Altogether, the wiser Republicans who deplore the likely nomination of Smith are fearing that Roosevelt came far from helping an unfortun- ate situation. not elapsed to permit immunity to develop. f BARBS A professor remarked that the young man who entered the min- istry expecting to follow the line of least resistance would be as out of place as a “dear old |: at a foot- ball game.” What he probably meant was “as out of place as c old lady in a rocking chair.” ee 8 Now Dora has come forward to ask what it is that makes the Mex- ican troops 80 revolting. + , The ladies are to wear old-fash- ioned high-laced boots again, accord- ing to style advices from London.
