(Official City, State and County Newspaper) A CITY, OR AN ANT HILL? These pctures of the future that: sociologists, en- tineers and other prophets give us now and then are not. always very attractive. New York, it is said, will have a population of 20,000,- 0; Chieago and Detroit and Philadelphia will not be far behind, and smaller cities will grow proportion- ately. Streets will be built in three levels; skyscrapers taller than anything we now dream of will line them, Moving sidewalks, glorified rapid transit subway sys- tems, airplane landing fields on downtown roofs, apart- ment houses that will cover three or four blocks—all , of these things, we are told, will be the order of the day. It doesn’t sound quite right. In such a city the ever- lasting whirring of wheels might well drown out all the gentler sounds, such as the rustling of leaves in the wind and the patter of spring rains on a shingled roof. People are not so amicable and neighborly that 20,000,000 of them ever ought to be gathered together in one place. A city with triple-decked streets sounds like an enlarged ant hill, terrifying and inhuman. But, after all, it probably won’t be as bad as we think. We get along fairly well in the cities of today. We are used to them; they don’t seem especially dismaying to us; we can find our way about among the enormous trowds, the rivers of traffic, the shuttling street car: Yet a city of 1928 would’have seemed like a madman’s dream if anyone could have described it to our ances- tors a century ago. Picture the middle western towns of 1828 that were to become the great manufacturing and commercial centers of today. Detroit, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Buf- falo, St. Paul—they were no more like what they are today than Polynesia is like Manhattan. They were quiet and peaceful. Most of their streets were unpaved. Few buildings were more than four stories high. Horse- drawn street cars lumbered lazily along the main avenues, Nearly every man’s house had a lawn and garden, enclosed bysa neat fence. If the citizens of 1818 could have foreseen what those ities were to be like a century later they would have thanked God, devoutly, that they would not live to see it. Well, the change come. .The peaceful quiet of a century ago is gone forever. And we who grew up in modern noise and bustle would not go back to the old days if we could. Probably it will be the same in the future. We are more adaptable than we think. We have an astonishing talent for living among machinery and noise. From our present viewpoint, the future city of 20,000,000 looks terrifying; but when we come to live in it we probably will forget that we ever knew anything else. { th: BEATING THE TRAIN Despite the columns and columns of warning stories and editorials that have appeared, some motorists still will try to beat a railroad train to a grade crossing. A Michigan driver was approaching a crossing the other day. A slow-moving freight train was in sight, and the crossing alarm bell was ringing; but the man. felt he could easily get across before the train arrived. He stepped on it. But the freight train concealed a fast-moving pas- tenger train on the other track. The passenger train reached the crossing just as the automobile did. The automobile is a pile of junk, and the driver and his wife are dead. How long it will be before the last driver is educated to the point of a wholesome respect for grade crossings we do not know. It is amazing that any man would try to slip over a grade crossing when an approaching train is actually in sight. PROFESSOR, TAKE HOPE The teacher in the American college or university, proverbially underpaid, can take hope. In the not-dis- tant future his salary will be doubled and education will be supported on a scale more lavish than anything yet dreamed of. This is the prediction of Edward A. Filene, Boston merchant, in an address at the convocation of the University of the State of New York. American prosperity, says Mr. Filene, is -ldrgely due to education. It needs nothing in the world so much as trained brains. The business world is discov- ering that it can best get these from the colleges and universities. As a result, increased budgets for educa- tion expenses will be met cheerfully and promptly. That is Mr. Filene’s view. It sounds reasonable. Commerce and industry owe more to the realm of high- wr education than they realize. LOUD-SPEAKING AIRPLANES The advance of aviation has brought with it one development that cannot be regarded with equanimity. In New York certain airplanes equipped with loud Spea'sers fly over the city and indulge in outdoor ad- vertising at its worst. Voices from the flying loud speakers baw forth the therits of this or that face or what-not in » manner. that movie, cigaret from forest fires, in a campaign of education through the southern pine belt. Civic organizations, schools and other groups are cooperating in this organized move to curb further wholesale denuding of the.wooded sections of the South. Even Mexico has become tree conscious. The secre- tary of agriculture in Mexico City is planning to plant two million trees of various species where the virgin timber has been cut away. Mexico will experiment with “crop” or “harvest” tree cultivation, which per- mits reforestation to pay for itself and makes it pos- sible for a man to enjoy the benefits of forest, and an unlimited lumber supply at the same time. This “backward” nation below the Rio Grande is not making the mistake made by its neighbor to the North of waiting until it was. threatened with absolute de- forestation before undertaking reforestation and con- servation on an effective scale. LIVING BY BREAD ALONE In the state of Connecticut there is a peaceful little village that has been drowsing beneath the shade of its great elm trees since before the Revolution. Main street swept down a gentle hill in a wide, lazy curve. Giant elms flanked tho length of it. Behind them were the colonial houses, trim in white clapboards and green shutters, looking very much as they looked when Washington's army marched through. There were no street cars, no busses, no factories and no noises. The town was simple, concentrated peace. But last summer the state began a highway improve- ment program. The road that curved through the village had to be widened and straightened. Down came the magnificent elms. The wide lawns were THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE —————— pictures, graphically showing the dangers and losses | The Minutes That Seem Years Just Before Dinner Time chopped off ruthlessly. Now a broad, straight belt of concrete runs through the town. The trees are gone. The old houses have lost their dignity. Huge convoys of trucks rumble through at all hours. The peace and quiet of colonial days have gone. All of this, no doubt, comes under the general head- ing, “Progress.” Progress, of course, is our nationdl watchword. No- where on earth is there such a fear of being behind the times as in this country. If chopping down an irreplaceable row of elms and ruining the beauty of a town that took centuries to mellow will give us prog- ress, we are always ready to get out our axes, But we really ought to go a little slowly. The effort to live by bread alone is always a bit dangerous. ‘Phere are times when we seem to be try- ing it. This Connecticut road-building job—which, of course, might have happened in any of the states—is evidence to that effect. ~ What is America, anyway? It is not simply a collec- tion of industrial sites and transportation facilities, It is not simply a huge group of highly prosperous individuals who never cease to praise heaven that they are richer than any other men on earth. It is not simply a machine for producng things in ever-increas- ing abundance. Those are only part of its aspects, It is, among other things, a land of great and varied beauty; beauty of sleepy New England towns, beauty of flat mid-western prairies, beauty of southern planta- tions, beauty of western mountains and northern for- ests. This beauty has had a deep effect on the national character. It has helped, in no small way, shape the idealism that has made us great. But sometimes we actually seem to dislike this beauty. We plaster the countryside with big billboards, marring scene after scene. We disfigure mountain valleys with incredibly squalid mining towns. We turn pleasant rivers into factory-stained sink holes, We destroy the charm of ancient towns. to make wider roads. i " It won't do. If we cannot Preserve the beauty and charm that still remain to us, no other nation on earth ever will envy us, for all our wealth. | Editorial Comment | § “NATHANIA’ _ (Newark Star-Eagle) First class in geography, stand up. Where is Na- ania? Can any boy or girl tell? No one? Well, the children are not to be blamed. There was no such place as Nathania when the latest geographies were printed. Nathania ought to become well known before long. It will be in distinguished company when it gets on the maps. It is in the same part of the world as Jeru- salem, Bethlehem, Nazareth, Jericho, Beersheba, Edom, Hebron, Mizpah and Gilead. It is the name chosen for an orange growing colony founded by Jewish colon- ists near the seashore of Palestine between Jaffa and Caesere: The man whose given name, Nathan, is honored in the title of this modern development of industry in an ancient land had reason to be proud of the disti tion, although pride is not a part of that modest phil- anthro makeup.

For the most part, beauty is native, a gift of the gods, with no charges to pay. But keeping beautiful despite work, worry and advancing years is an expensive matter.

The Democrats concede most of these votes to Hoover. Impartial observers believe California, Wash- ington, Oregon, Idaho, Colorado, Utah and Wyoming are certain for Hoover or the next thing to it. Smith looks good in Montana and New Mexico and has what many regard as an even chance in Arizona and Nevada. All 10 states went for Coolidge in 1924. But the Coolidge vote was smaller than the combined Davis- La Follette vote in Arizona, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico and Utah and the Coolidge majority in regon, Washington and Wyoming was not very large. ‘ The religious issue, intermingled with the prohibition issue, appears to have cut the largest figure in Ore- gon. Thete had been defections among. Republican men, but Oregon women are counted on to offset them. Smith will run stronger in Washington than in Oregon and the result there may be close, according to advices reaching this writer. Smith is reported likely to carry San Francisco, but California is ex- pected to go for Hoover. The south- ern section is strongest for the Re- publican candidate, Idaho progressives have followed Senator Borah into the Hoover camp, Democrats there hope to roll up a large Smith vote, but do not appear to be confident of, victory. Montana, at last accounts, was anybody’s state. Montana has two Democratic senators, a Democratic governor and a Republican legisla- ture, with a Republican reeord in most presidential years. Senator Tom Walsh is~ supporting Smith, but the efforts of Senator Burton K. Wheeler to put over the national ticket are regarded as more effective. The state probably will be considered doubtful right up to Nov. 6, but it is one of those which the Smith man- agers often consider in trying to add up 266 electoral votes for their can- didate, Reports that ballots are going to be counted in New Mexico this year —all of them, that is—leave the state and its three electoral votes in doubt, with the betting even. With nearly half of the state’s. population Roman Catholics, the Democrats would seem to have an advantage. Wilson carried the state in 1916 and Harding and Coolidge subsequently. The most plausible reports ‘from Colorado are that Smith may carry Denver and Pueblo, but will be un- able to win the state. Both Republicans and Democrats claim an edge in Arizona and in- formation here concerning the state is far from conclusive. Senator William H. King of Utah is expected to be reelected. This fact and a belief that Mormon voters will favor Smith because of their objection to religious intolerance have given the Democrats some en- couragement, but it is still generally supposed that Utah, one of the two states carried by Taft in 1912, will be in the Hoover column. As this is written, Nevada appears to be doubtful and Wyoming reason- ably sure for Hoover. {BARBS | é: Pl A candidate for Congress in New Jersey made short speeches and sang during the greater part of his meet- ings.

A good old-fashioned honky-tonk generally had plenty of saw dust on the floor and among ‘other things, served beer by the glass, flagon or barrel. Now this struggling entertainer appeared in’ cowboy attire and could’ do a lot of clever tricks with the rope. Now and then he would make wry remarks about this and that. Generally speaking, however, his act was “silent.” He got about $73 a week, or something like that. * Oh yes, his name was Will Rogers, Well, one night a visitor came into the honky-tonk, as visitors will. This particular visitor was a member of a musical comedy team which was. getting away to an effective start. The visitor watched the struggling entertainer for a time and then walked over to him and said: “Say, could you teach me some of those rope tricks. Your stuff is great.” The two men fell to talking about performing and about novelties that help an act get over. The visitor came back many times and the strug- gling entertainer picked up some rope tricks. and, by way of return, passed on a few tricks of his own. The visitor was Fred Stone. That was the beginning of a long friendship. And that, by the way, is the in- side story of why Will Rogers tossed over his Hollywood contracts and his personal affairs to hop to New York By Ahern = WY NS BLEss You LADS! 5 wEGAD, You ARE BoTH HoARSE FROM CAMPAIGA SPEAKING ¥oR ME:| we HAW, COME ON UP To MY DEA AND LET ME RS SooTHe Your LARYNY wWitH A SPECIAL “THROAT GARGLE OF MY OWN COMPOUNDING ! a etd gees sit a eggplant was originally cul- fone, in the ‘acre ibe ernaget jighly pri for_ its egg- white and purple fruits, which are served asa vegetable.

As Many people think that this veg- etable does not agree with them, but, I believe this is only because the eggplant is usually fried. When cooked in grease, eggplant is not only indigestible, but is actually less palatable than when prepared in other, simpler ways. The eggplant does not resemble the hen’s egg in food value, but is. rich in organic salts and has enough cellulose to be valuable to the in- testines.
