(Official City, State and County Newspaper) — The “Ins” Versus the “Outs” | Two slates have been proposed for the voters | of North Dakota next June. Also there are} two platforms to be considered. There is a distinction between the two platforms, but not © material difference. On the one hand, the Nonpartisan League recommends an expansion of state industrial- ism, which of course cannot be had without legislative enactment, so some of the planks an enlargement of the so-called state Pidustial program, but both factions have en- dorsed the system as it now exists; the League because its membership honestly believes in such economics, the I. V. A. because there is not the courage in that organization to come out boldly and wipe the slate of state owner- ship which it privately condemns. So then the issues are not closely joined. It is to be the usual campaign between the “Ins” and the “Outs,” a struggle to control patron- age, to administer the flesh pots. The Mill at Grand Forks will continue in any event to grind No. 1 Hard; the State Bank at Bismarc« will operate as usual; state employes will sit up nights trying to pick a winner and the farmers, if they are wise, will do as Will Rogers said they were doing in lowa—“Having given -up hope of farm relief, they are using fer- tilizer.” : North Dakota voiers are going to be enter- tained by the same kind of political argument heard from the hustings since the recall elec- tion. It behooves them to select the man best fitted for the office, regardless of the faction to which he belongs. The Tribune hopes to print a statement from every leading candidate on the state and na- tional ticket before the next primary day dawns, together with a short resume of the candidate’s political record. This is to be done without partisanism or rancor. be achieved by attempting to picture North Da- kota as a sort of bolshevistic retreat. The I. V. A. will do the state and its business men a distinct injury by waving the red flag. time to correct matters was at the special ses- sion, dominated by the Twichell faction. None of the Independents proposed a constructive measure to relieve the taxpayers of the evil they rant about in conventions and on the hust- ings and then promptly forget in the legisla- tive halls where constructive work can be done. North Dakota voters are not going to be |} fooled or cajoled by the Twichell brand of po- litical sophistry. The slate jammed through at Jamestown must go before the voters on its merits; certainly the platform which begs the _\igsue, as usual, is not going to impress the voters—they know whoever wins, things are going to move pretty much as they have since H recall—they know, too, that the legislature ‘must face the'real issue before many moons. There are excellent men nominated on both tickets, and the Jamestown convention reflects | decisively that the two dominant factions are f going to continue the industrial program and : _| the voters should not be confused on the issues | ® | —there is no outstanding issue except to select H /men best fitted for the jobs.

Dragons One of the strangest of industries is the “dragon bones medicine” industry of China. The “medicine” is made from powdered fos- silized bones and sold to the gullible as dragon medicine, the manufacturers encouraging the popular superstitien that bones used in the preparation are those of dead dragons. Scientists, studying the fossil deposits in which the bones for “dragon medicine” are mined, have found fossils of a tapir, rhinoe- eros, prehistoric lion, and stegedon, but noth- ing that even resembles the skeleton of a dragon as are pictured in Chinese art and em- ployed in Chinese architecture. > Whatever the origin of the dragon or the efficacy of “dragon bones” as medicine, the accomplishments and tastes of the nine differ- ent types of dragons of which mention is made in Oriental literature and which are exten- sively used in Chinese designs are many and remarkable. Chinese superstition has it that one dragon fears the whale and cries out in thunderous tones when attacked by the marine monsters. Another is said to be fond of music and a third is a patron of literature. Other types are sup- posed to like water, or are killers, or crave danger. The true dragon as it appears in the highly imaginative Oriental mind has the head of a camel, the horns of a deer, eyes of a rabbit, ears of a cow, neck of a snake, belly of a frog. scales of a carp, claws of a hawk and palm of a tiger. It has never been definitely determined whether the Chinese dragon is purely a prod- uct of the mind of a superstitious peop'e or | whether it is the modern version of a tradition handed down through the thousands of years since the dinosaur inhabited this planct. | Editorial Comment | Se ee ee, Political Corruption (New York Times) Americans have recently been compclied again to face disagreeable facts showing that our public life is exposed to corrupt methods. Even the most complacent citizens, who may have waxed fat in prosperity, cannot shut \their eyes or stop their ears when the supremz }court of the United States declares that a lease by the government was conceived in fraud and tainted by corruption; when one of the principals in that transaction has been held in contempt of court and sentenced to jail, while almost at the same moment there | have been fresh disclosures of his“having been deep in the confidence of the managers of the party in power. To approach them, he put money in his purse, and they were not averse to taking all they could get of it. The lame and lamentable attempts at explanations made by Mr. Hays, former chairman of the Republi- can National Committee, in his examination by the senate committee, have meant a renewal of disgust and shame to many thousands. They can scarcely be blamed for suspecting that even worse yet lies behind. Certainly every stirring of that poel has brought loathe- some creatures to sight. Are the people callous to political corrup- tion? Are they willing fatuously to condone it when detected—especially when it is de- tected in their own party? Senator Reed ot Missouri is ringing the changes upon the in- differences of the Republican administration to poltical morality. He has several times charged that President Coolidge has been as dumb about it as an oyster lying on the beac! of Cape Cod. This is not true. In an address made in this city, not long after the naval oil scandals had begun to be dragged to light, Mr. Coolidge had a few searching words to say about corruption in politics and in the govern- ment. Nothing else, he declared, was worth talking about if conditions were such that the people had reason to doubt the good faith and integrity of their officials. With a shudder of abhorrence he dwelt upon the need of cut- ting out the cancer of public dishonesty at ao matter what cost or pain. Here is a passage which even Senator Reed could scarcely better: At the revelation of greed making its subtle approaches to public officers, of the prostitution of high place to private prof- it, we are filled with scorn and indigna- ! tion. We have a deep sense of humilia- tion at such gross betrayal of trust, and we lament the undermining of public con- fidence in official integrity. But we can- not rest with righteous wrath. * * * For us, we propose to follow the clear open path of justice. There will be immediate, adequate, unshrinking prosecution, crim- inal and civil, to punish the guilty, and to protect every national interest. In this effort there will be no politics, no partisan- ship. It will be speedy, it will be just. I am a Republican, but I cannot on that ac- count shield anyone because he is Repub- lican. * * * I ask the support of our people, as chief magistrate, intent on the enforce- ment of our laws without fear or favor, no matter who is hurt or what the conse- quences, No doubt, the President might have followed this up in later months—this speech was de- livered in February of 1924—with advantage to his own reputation and to the public service, But no one can question the sincerity of his original utterance, made at a time when it was not certain that his party would renominate him for the Presidency. In the campaign that followed much was made by Democratic ora- tors and newspapers of the oil scandals, which left so bad a smell on the garments of the Republican Party. The result of the election, in which the Republicans scored a great and easy victory, was said by some cynics to prove that the American people were perfectly indir ferent about political corruption in high places. 20 more fish with | Nearly all the remainder are buried in Frane IT DIDN’T WORK “THOSE CooL! ° BUCKWHEATS HEALTHeDIET ADVICE M wa eS eo Mle YES, INDEED !--- ‘ ET WILL BE ANSWERED WR FAVORITE Pd 1] RECARO TO HEALTH eo eT WIL BE a RECIPE -- JUST ENCLOSE STAMPED AODRESSEO ENVELOPE FOR REPLY.

Free speech is one of them. I don’t mean to say that a husband or wife should be rude to each other or say any- thing they like, but there are times when it is absolutely necessary to blow off steam. You're still at the serious age in matrimony, dear. That is, you take seriously everything your husband says when he is in a temper. But when you've been married longer you will be able to smile at your present attitude. If Alan lost his temper because you stalled the car I’m sure it was due to nervous excitement and really had nothing to do with you except indirectly. , Another thing, had he been teach- ing any other woman to drive he wouldn’t have cared so much when she failed to handle the car effi- ciently. With his wife it is differ- ent, because your achievements are a matter of pride to him, Marye. If you show superior skill he can boast of it to his friends, and it also does him credit as an instructor. I’ve heard people say, though, that a ‘husband should never attempt to teach his wife to drive. And I know it almost led to a separation between Leonard Moseley and Agatha, I think you're right to get a profes- sional instructor, but I wish you wouldn’t have that young man throw his arm around your shoulders, I wouldn’t, trust him, Marye. Florence was in when your letter came and I told her about the new car, She says she hopes you will drive out this summer.

Now and then, on a rain-splashed day, with the wind whipping a minor waterfall around the Times building, the half-light of the underground station becomes a terrifying spec- tacle. Standing at safe distance and watching the battle of milling mobs, I often have imagined that in such a scene is captured the spirit that moves the masses in time of revo- lution. Life, limb and the rights of others are forgotten. It becomes a great mob struggle for the clicking turnstiles with women, children and old folk caught helplessly in the struggling stream. : Here are people who, just a mo- ment before, hurried through the streets, more or less human beings, possessed of the usual decencies and chivalrous attitudes.
