She outlived the era into which she was born and her last years have been empty and desolate, The Russia of Marie’s day must have seemed, to her circle, a fine place. The czar was the “little father” of his people. He ruled by divine right, and he held unlimited authority. He and his family lived amid all the pomp and cere- mony that a nation of uncounted millions of industrious people can furnish. Life in the imperial palace at Petrograd must have been very pleasant and inspiring. To be sure, those in the palace occasionally caught the sound of murmurs of discontent, filtering up from below. There were shocking abuses in the land. But Nicholas, amiable and good-natured, realized sibilities as “little father.” These abuses cou! remedied overnight. Slowly, step by step, they would be made right, the Russian people would be happy, and all would be well. But people have a way of becoming impatient with tlow reforms. They got impatient in Russia, Then there came the war, and a million or so of peasants, poorly equipped, betrayed by schemers in high places and sacrificed by bungling officialdom, were killed by the methodical, efficient Germans and Austrians. And at last there was a vast explosion, and unmanageable forces came welling and boiling up from the dark places below; the czar and czarina lost their lives, and the Dowager Empress Marie fled to Copenhagen to live another decade in lonely, amazed obscurity. We often hear that it is a tragedy to be born before one’s time. Probably it is. But it is infinitely worse to be born too late for one’s time. Marie was part of a medieval system in a day when that system had to go on the scrap heap. If she could have lived a century earlier, her last days would have been made as easy and pleasant as an empire could make them. There would have been court physicians, formal deputations of court ladies, messages of com- fort from kings and princes, a palatial sick room in a great palace. Instead there is the loneliness of an exile who has seen all that was familiar and dear ground to bits. It is tragic to be out of date. To be fixed and un- ‘hanging in a world that is eternally changing and de- veloping is to court disaster. The twentieth century is a cruel place for all who try to live by the stand-, urds and watchwords of the nineteenth. THE MIDDLE COURSE ” It is unfortunate that the modern municipality can- hot simultaneously lower its taxes and increase its public improvements, To wish for as much is no less futile than the search for the fountain of eternal youth. It is criminal to take from a bank that which you have ot previously deposited therein. Many communities try to evade the issue but all ‘evidently must choose low taxes or public improve- ments, or compromise. It is notable that those towns and cities which boast of low tax rates cannot boast, of their public improvements because they have none of the latter. By the same token there are many mu- nicipalities which talk loudly of monumental impro' ments but speak in whispers of their staggering taxes. Such extremities are formidable to new industry, but ness and citizens, It, therefore, becomes evident that the communities which steer a middle course are rich in good common sense. With some forbearance there is no municipal- tty which cannot eventually supply all its improvement requirements and at the same time enjoy favorable Raxation. Postponing too long the launching of im- provement programs inevitably brings the community face to face with the necessity of doing everything at once instead of extending the necessary improvements over a long period as they individually become im- perative. Doubly blessed are those towns and cities which had the foresight to begin paving and building ‘and expanding in their municipal infancy and now find their improvement needs limited to maintenance, re- newal or extension. The problem of municipal improvement is not one for the citizens or the public officials, but for both. The importance of the question deserves the cooperation interests and all departments of community life. is a crying need on this issue for sane planning | j ae guns deadly. A small target towed 5,000 feet hig! received ten direct hits in a few moments, This indicates that the defense, once more, is catching up with the attack. At various times in the history of warfare new inventions have been brought out that seemed absolutely unstoppable; but always, in the course of time, defensive devices have been perfected to equal them. The two kinds of war seem fated to remain pretty well balanced. im PITY THE PEDESTRIAN State, county and municipal officials hi shown tremendous enthusiasm for good-road programs, but except in rare instances all of it has been directed to- ward the development of accommodations for vehicular traffic. Even in the thickly settled communities, the numerous towns and villages built up here and there along state highways, pedestrians are forced to use the vehicular lanes or take to the gutter or fields. The natural result is a condition alike hazardous to motorists and travelers afoot. Motor cars again and again are forced into collision in swerving out of the way of walkers and too often because of confusion of drivers or pedestrians run down the latter with serious or fatal consequences. Even when casualties are averted the strain upon nerves is disastrous to health and comfort. This isn’t a matter to be merely deprecated and dis- missed from mind. Something has to be done about new law isn’t enough. Any highway systém ls to take into account the needs of the pedes- trian is a reproach to the community. It is unsatisfac- tory from the standpoint of both safety and efficiency. And there is no better time than now to give the prob- "THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE” ____—_____ THURSDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1928 How About a Little More Attention to the ‘Wall-Flowers,’ Boys HO, Hum! MABEL ~WE.

OUR EX-PRESIDENTS President Coolidge will retire from office next March. When he retires, if he does not seek some new position, he will have to live on whatever sum he may have been ible to save during his occupancy of the White House. Like most of our presidents, he is not a man of inde- pendent means. And this calls to mind the following thought: is not. this country rich enough to make a practice of paying its former presidents regular, annual salaries? When @ man serves us as chief executive he ought never have to worry about finances again. To pay every ex-presi- dent some such sum as $25,000 a year would not swell our federal expenditures greatly; and it would be no more than simple justice. President Grant died in comparative poverty. Presi- dent Roosevelt had to devote himself to literature to make a living. President Taft was forced to enter the Yale Law School faculty. Surely, when a man has been our president, he has earned the right to free- dom from money troubles for the rést of his life. EVEN ACTORS ARE HUMAN Free and- easy—and, therefore, enviable—are the ways of the theater in Jugoslavia. A company in Belgrade the other day was playing “Macbeth.” At the height of the performance, Lady Macbeth became roiled beyond endurance at the lack of skill displayed by Macbeth. Abandoning her lines, she sereamed “Idiot!” Macbeth fled from the stage to protest to the man- ager, who ordered him to return. He did so, only to be met with another yell, “Idiot!” from the enraged Lady Macbeth. And ‘the curtain camé down, while the audience cheered lustily. ‘ It is things like that which make the drama instruc- tive and amusing. It probably could never happen in this country; but if it could the life of the theatergoer would be far more entertaining, | Editorial Comment ‘TWAS EVER THUS (Detroit News) City fathers of Madrid, Spain, have forbidden young men of the bibulous or love-lorn persuasion to go about the streets singing and playing.
