COfficial City, State and County Newspaper) IS THE OLD LIFE BEST It must be that the small boy knows more than we ' think he dces when he plays at being an Indian. Not that the Indian is the happiest of mortals. Some of the wealthy Osages seem to be the unhappiest per- sons in the country. But the papers carried a story the other day that contained food for thought—a story about the tribe of Cherokees that inhabits the Great Smoky Mountain region, in the western part of North Carolina, and the eastern part of Tennessee. a These Cherokees are a remnant. Nearly a century ago the United States army undertook to move the i Cherokees from the Great Smokies to what is now Oklahoma. Most of them went; but a few hid in the remote ravines and forests and clung to their ancient hunting grounds. They are still there, and they live much as they did before the white man came. To be sure, they wear the white man’s clothes and use the white man’s tools. But they retain most of their ancient customs. Every fall they dance the Green Corn dance—a primitive expression of thanksgiving for bountiful harvests. The women make pottery and { beaded ware just as these crafts were followed cen- turies ago; the men are skilled in the use of the bow 4 and arrow. The tribal medicine men still conduct the incantations and rites that were old before Columbus came. ‘ All of this is rather strange, in view of the fact ts that the tribe lives within a night's train ride of the i nation’s capital. They are on the edge of one of the u most up-to-date, populous sections of the globe; yet BR they live in a sort of backwater, hidden deep in the mountain forests, content to cling to the old ways of their ancestors. Reading about them, one feels that they are wise. : They have a way of life that has been tested by cen- a turies, and they find it good. What do they need of t our radios, our automobiles, our schools and our general hustle and bustle? In the quiet of the mountains they may have a chance to get that which sometimes eludes us—serenity, satisfaction with their place in the world, contentment, peace. We could not change places with them. We have gone too far along our modern road ever to turn back. 4 But we might at least realize that the mechanical dis- ny tractions on which we set so much store are not, after all, essential to a good life. It is possible for some men to live fully and well without them. AY Sates PLANE INDUSTRY SPEEDS UP The dawn of the air age presents interesting possi- bilities in connection with the arrival of the much-pre- dicted saturation point in automobile distribution. Pro- duction is greater than ever before, and students of the automobile industry profess to see no indication of the approach of the saturation point. Some time, however, it will be reached; sooner, possibly, than is now anticipated if the airplane sweeps to a position of major importance in the transportation field. The important automobile manufacturers of the United States will be ready for that day, with their Even now the aeronautical industry is awaiting of- ficial confirmation of recent reports that the General Motors Corporation is contemplating the manufacture of airplane motors. Immediately after Lindbergh completed his flight } apparent that airplane manufacturers were severely handicapped by their inability to obtain motors. Since 4 then the capacity of existing motor building plants has been increased and new motors have been developed and placed on the market, Today, the situation is much better than it was, but there still exists a genuine demand for low-priced thor- oughly reliable aviation power plants. General Motors should be in a position to fill this need better than any other automobile company. Packard, Ford, Auburn and Continental are in the field and several other com- still the demand is greater than the production. THE HORRIBLE EXAMPLE signing of the Armistice.

Today all the world is trying hard to keep out of a fight. Ten years ago the world, frantic with sed the last war. There have been several little wars since, and rumors of war | % float in and out with as great frequency as before 1914. The “war to end war” failed of its purpose, but it will keep alive this generation’s passion for perma- ment world peace. Those who can remember the hor- rors and suffering of the World war will live out their In pre-Volstead days the most powerful influence for temperance and total abstinence was the “horrible example” of intemperance, of which every community had at least one. The horrible example of war is Armistice Day should continue to be observed for two reasons: On this day let the nation remember those who fought and died and remind itself of the price the world paid for that disastrous is hope and comfort in the fact that back to the days of the Roman Empire and beyond, they would see that their efforts are directed at something that has hung about the edges of legislative chambers, entered the throne rooms of kings, and colored the political narratives of all civilized peoples. The evils of lobbyism are many, and certain abuses can and should be eradicated, but the practice touches so closely the right of petition that an attempt to make lobbying a crime might breed ills much worse than those of lobbying. Lobbying is not in itself an evil. It is when profes- sional lobbyists receive pay for obtaining legislation for the benefit or profit of individuals or minority groups that the practice becomes intolerable. Congress wants to know the will of the people and the people should have some means of acquainting lawmakers with public needs and desires, but nothing should be per- mitted that will interest the government in the wishes of the bloc to the exclusion of the interests of the masses. DIFFERENT GLASSES Is there anybody, with a knowledge of the facts, who honestly believes young girls of today are less intelli- gent and less deserving of respect than were the girls of twenty, forty or sixty years ago? Does the pro- fessor, who publicly said the present generation of young women is “beautiful to look at” provided no attempt is made to talk to its representative members, know ar only think he knows whereof he speaks? Does he really believe the great army of alert young girls who now flock each morning to the offices, stores and factories are inferior in mentality and knowledge to those of preceding generations? Is it coincidental that the present generation places its own value so much higher than that of past gencra- tions and that the older generations always speak of “the good old times” and find so little worthy of com- mendation and approval in the younger generation? More likely it is a case of looking through different glasses. Old folks always remember the good things of the past and see only the evil of the present, and the young even things up by dragging out the family skeleton of the past and taking notice of only the good achievements of its own times. No doubt the shiny-nosed, demure, timid and shyly modest maidens of yesterday would be as intolerable to the men of this generation as the modern girl is to the men who once “worshiped” the ground upon which the old-fashioned girl was wont to tread. No other girl looks so good to a fellow as his sweetheart. LOOSE TALK A New Jersey jury has decided that Mrs. Helen Bald- win, leading D. A. R. member from the town of Boon- ton, cannot collect any libel damages from the Rev. William H. Bridge. Last winter Mrs. Baldwin wrote a letter to a local newspaper, fulminating against the red menace and declaring that John Haynes Holmes, Oswald Garrison Villard, Jane Addams and others were “playing the Communist game.” The Rev. Bridge didn’t like this and wrote a letter of protest against what he said were “lying imputations.” Mrs. Baldwin promptly sued for $5,000 libel damages. At the trial it developed that the lady didn’t quite know what Communism is. Miss Addams and Messrs. Holmes and Villard are radicals, or liberals; but they have never preached Communism. They had preached pacifism; but the court ruled that “pacifism is not to be associated with Communism.” So the lady lost. This ought to help put an end to loose talking and thinking of that kind. Too many people cry “Com- munist” at those who differ with them. “DIZZY HEIGHTS” One thing that probably deters many people from taking flights in airplane or dirigible is the fear of great heights. The very numerous people who get dizzy when they look down from the top of a cliff or high building are, naturally, a bit shy at going up in an airship. But Amelia Earhart, transatlantic flyer, says in the current Cosmopolitan that these people can forget their fears. “Such dizziness is entirely lacking in a plane,” she writes. “The person peering from the top of a high building is affected definitely by the physical contact between his body and the street 20 stories below. This contact, or support, creates in his mind the ab- solute feeling of height, carrying with it a horror of falling. “In the case of the plane, the passenger no longer has any vertical solid connecting his body with the ground. Only atmosphere fills the space between the plane and the cornfields below. There is no measur- ing stick of altitude.” Editorial Comment | THE MEANING OF A PAROLE (Minneapolis Journal) So far as has been made known to the public there is no better reason in the present month of October, 1928, than there was in April of the same year, for paroling Stanley McCormick from Federal prison. If the De- partment of Justice had to acknowledge last spring, after protests against a parole board’s recommenda- tion, that twenty months of good conduct was not sufficient to outweigh nearly five years spent in cheat- ing the law, after the commission of the crme for which he was convicted, then the public will find it hard to see whv twenty-six months of good conduct in prison can be sufficiently greater weight to turn the scales in McCormick’s favor. Here is a man who kept out of prison by a long ser- ies of tricks and delays and evasions, from the late spring of 1928 until the late summer of 1926. He was found guilty of participating in a conspiracy to dispose of some two million dollars’ worth of stolen bonds. incarceration was not effected until nearly five fter his crime. His sentence was for seven ears. Can it be that what he did before the law man- ; aged to shut him away is of little consequence beside his conduct in a place where, in the main, conduct can- not be other than good? What virtue has the man shown, commensurate not alone with his crime, but with his subsequent offenses against justice, in balk- BY RODNEY DUTCHER (NEA Service Writer) Washington, Oct. 20.—This gov- ernment might not be so peev over the Anglo-French naval agree- ment if it could discover just what was the idea. At this writing President Cool- idge, the State Department and the Navy Department are all quite put out by the course Britain and France adopted in making such an accord, reacting against American interests, without tipping us off beforehand. They are also equally puzzled as 'to just what those two nations had in mind. The Anglo-French expla- nation, if accepted, would leave no room for doubt that the British and French foreign ministers were guilty of a dumb piece of business. Our; government can hardly believe that they are as stupid as they-appear to be by their own admission. ; Yet no other explanation presents itself. Here's what has happened: Previous naval limitation confer- ences had been severely hampered, prevented or broken up by a conflict of interests. The United States wanted plenty of. big cruisers, Brit- ain wanted lote-of little cruisers and France wanted a swarm of sub- marines. Britain was especially panicky about French submarines after her World war experience. France was even more frightened of Britain’s navy. So the two nations got together and apparently revived the entente cordiale which they had before the war. Naval supremacy and military supremacy in Europe would. ally. themselves for mutual _ interest. France could have all the submarines and troops she wanted and France would support Britain’s cruiser de- mands at the next naval arms con- ference. The United States would be left holding the bag. Large cruisers would be the only things limited. eee If they hoped to keep any of this deal a secret it was a vain hope. The thing was bungled from the start. Sir Austen Chamberlain, the British WASHINGTON LET Sp TER, ww . and a great furore arose as every- kind of an agreement England had ed | made. Perhaps no more _ sensational major international incident has occurred since the Versailles treaty. The United States is sore. Italy is sore. Germany is sore. Japan is sore. And so, apparently, is mést of the British press. The British overnment has also let itself in for the possibility of an election defeat and the likelihood that our Congress will put through a big navy bill at its next session. eee It is almost impossible to believe that Chamberlain and Foreign Min- ister Briand of France thought we would be ‘willing to come to a new | conference after it had already been arranged to deprive us of our trous- ers, If‘they did they must have had a rude shock. ‘ Everyone, in fact, must have been shocked, especially Secretary of State Kellogg. to whom the news— or a large part of it—was broken just as he had triumphantly signed jthe anti-war treaty in Paris. Kel- jloge deliberately refused. to visit London on account of the agreement. Meanwhile the State Department and Navy Department at home were equally excited. Admiral Hughes raced out to Wisconsin to tell Presi- dent ‘Coolidge all about it and then even Coolidge became excited. The president has been mad ever since. Just how mad he has been was in- dicated by the forceful tone of the note in which the United States re- jected the Franco-British deal as a basis for discussion of further naval limitation. a Now jit appears that the British government, rather than the United States, is going to be the goat. We won't have anything to do with the agreement. France is tickled to her submarines and military plans will be left undisturbed. But whereas the Coolidge-Kellogg attitude has proved as popular as any move in our foreign policy for many years and whereas the French foreign minister, let part of the cat out on the last day of Parliament | OUR BOARDING HO ‘A.

OO { INNEW YORK | ——$—$———________—_—<—$§_* o New York. Oct. 20—The Dutch street gem market remains, year on year, Manhattan‘s most exciting out- loor -sport. ‘There are few more fantastic and unusual sights in the strange col- lection framed upon this island. And thank heaven, the tourists busses have not discovered it yet. It’s one of the scenes the stranger or resi- dent has to seek out for himself. Dutch street is a long way from the ritzy gem marts of Fifth avenue. And. if you come upon it in those hours when diamond trading has ceased to. be a sidewalk diversion, you’d probably fail to notice it. For Dutch street is what most towns would call an alley. Only history dignifies it with a working title. It’s a lane left over from the early days and lost.in the welter of downtown streets. ‘Yet on the curbstones of this alley millions in sparkling jewels change hands annually. If, at the moment, the market in brilliants is a bit bear- ish, this is due to the gradual move- ment of the gem trade into the more fashionable shopping belts. Here, on at least five days of the week, gathers a curious group of traders. eir_ wares, as I have said, are diamonds. Those who form this crowd are well known to one another. They have dealt thus for years onend. Its operation is based, oddly enough on a mutual confidence among its members. There is no fear here of sharpers or crooks or fakes. They might appear once— but never again, For, in spite of Manhattan’s reputation for sharp dealing, the men the diamond mart give little to the possibil- ity of being “Ji ” - Their Sradee takes place on the open sidewalk. Crowds brush by, a few sometimes stop for a moment to watch the proceedings, but thou- sands hurry past as though it did not exist.

The gems pass DRIED BEEF Dried beef is one of the most de- licious and tasty meats, but is not quite as digestible as the fresh beef because the smoking and salting have had a toughening effect upon its protein. The usual method of preparing beef for drying is to soak it for about ten days in a mixture of salt, sugar or molasses and, usually a small amount of saltpeter. The like ham, cut into thin slices, and dried. The thick flank or round steak is the part generally Even though not quite as digest- ible as when fresh, dri is quite wholesome if soaked in water to remove the surplus salt, and has added advantages of keeping for a long time in almost any climate and being easily transported because of its light weight. i ‘When properly prepared dried beef shows a fine, firm, red texture and has the agreeable tasty flavor which accompanies all smoked meats. Hi The Indians found that by mixing dried beef, buffalo, moose meat or venison with acid berries, dried cur- rants or raisins, a very concentrated food was produced, which would sus- tain life almost indefinitely and was for this reason especially suitable for carrying on long expeditions. In_ preparing chipped beef, it should be removed from the first water in which it has been soaking, then boiled in fresh water. Cream dtessings with flour should not be used, but some of the following recipes will be found both appetizing and wholesome: Cooked Mock Pemmican To one pound of chipped beef, soaked for one hour and parboiled not so much as a slip of paper changes hands in the proceeding. A nod of the head or the raising of a hand,.a single spoken word is all that is necessary to close a deal. No money changes. hands, The office address of most of these traders is the sidewalk corner.

Most of them are cutters, polish- ers and setters. They attend the auctions of the lower Bowery. ing secured the rems, they them up into rings, pendants, and such. Then they appear in the market place. Noon is the time of greatest ac- tivity. One by one the traders join from hand to hand for inspection. There is an utter lack of suspicion as this hand-passing goes on. Out come the tiny magnifying glasses of the expert. Each gem is given carefuk scrutiny, i * The strange honesty of this pro-. ceeding continues ad infinitum. A trader frankly states what he paid| for his gems and demands only a certain commission to reward him for his shrewdness. If questioned, he will flash out his purchase list and reveal the figures. , Qbviously, what_a trader is seek- ing is a quick turnover. “Take a profit” is his motto. He cares lit- tle that the same stone may be sold and resold half a dozen times, with 8 profit to each trader. : GILBERT SWAN. (Copyright, 1928, NEA Service, Inc.) Our Yesterdays TEN YEARS AGO The city schools were opened after the influenza epidemic. A son was born to Mr. and Mrs. V. A, MacGilvray of Bismarck. Mr. MacGilvray was superintendent of the job ee. department of The Bismarck Tribune. Captain T. S.

In his message to that body he said: “There ms to be a general dissatisfaction with the present moneys and credits law and I recommend that it be repealed to prevent needed money being withdrawn from the state.” The law referred to was a law taxii moneys and credits and doubtless Governor Frazier had dis- covered that the money lenders had a way of con.pelling the borrowers to pay the tax. He desired to stop this practice. In carrying out Gov- ernor Frazier’s recommendation, the Legislature passed a bill exempting money and credits from taxation. That law read: “Moneys and credits, as the same are defined in Section 2074 of the Compiled Laws of North Dakota for the year 1913, in- cluding bonds and stocks, are hereby, exempted from taxation It is plain that the Legislature, in carrying out Governor Frazier’s rec- ommendation, exempted moneys and credits, including stocks, from taxation. So. this was not done by the courts at all. It is true an effort was made to get the Su- preme Court of the state to say that bank stock was not stock, but everybody knows that bank stock is stock, and the Supreme Court ! would not make itself ridiculous by deciding otherwise. It is not the business of the court to make the , law. It must be guided by the law as made by the Legislature and that is all that was done in this instance. This law was tgs unanimously in the house of representatives at Bismarck, and there were only four votes against it in the state senate. Governor Frazier signed it. No candid man should blame the Su- preme Court for what the Legisla- ture has done. Our Supreme Court is made up of men of high character and standing. If your personal affairs were placed in their 3, you would feel secure. Any charge that they are the mere Puppets of any business or political organization is viciously and should be resented by tight thinking man and woman.
