who has had more to do with this spread of machinery than any other living man, doesn’t share in it. He still thinks that we live in a miraculous world—a world -£ wonders and portents, in which no dream can be too glittering, no hope too high, in which men do not die and go to dust like worn out cog wheels in a factory, but live on forever to continue in the work of lifting the race up from the level which it has glimpsed in its great- est moments. And tha‘, instead of proving that he ought to stick to his owa field and let philosophical speculation alone, may prove that he is more thoughtful and level-headed than we have given him credit for. SAVING THE BABIES The United States is continuing in the good work of cutting down its infant mortality rate, according to Miss Grace Abbott, chief of the Children’s Bureau of the U. 8. Department of Labor. The rate last year--65 infant deaths per 1000 live births—was the lowest in the coun- try's history. Lest we relax our efforts, however, Miss Abbott points out that no state in the Union has yet succeeded in get- ting the rate as low as New Zealand, where it is only 39 Per 1000. The best record is held by Oregon, with a rate of 48. Idaho and Washington are tied for second with 50, and Nebraska, Minnesota, Utah, Iowa, Kansas, New York, Wisconsin, Indiana and Connectjcut follow in the order named. The lowering of the rate, Miss Abbott reports, is “un- questionably associated with the general improvement in public health, the establishment of child health confer- ences, the development of prenatal clinics, the distribu- tion of literature and public education.” e Bisuarck Tribune An independent Newspaper THE STATE'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) _ Published by the Bismarck Tribune Company, 8 { N.

(Official City, State and County Newspaper) STATE WELFARE REASSURING The 1928 economic review of the state's agricultural and general business condition by the Greater North Da- _ kota association is an impressive story of the year for its | Citizens. Farmer, banker and business man will find in its facts and deductions heartening signs that progress is being || made in the development of the state and its industrial + institutions, the main one of which is its agriculture. ‘ Furthermore, the chief impression it leaves is that de- velopment has found a better and safer course to take than those less systematic activities of the past years. Ag- riculture, banking, the upbuilding of-its centers of pop- ulation are all on a sounder basis. 5 ‘The increased soundness of agriculture is in the adop- tion of diversification. Grain yields have been increased, even, along with the division of production that has re- duced the old emphasis on wheat growing. Livestock * and dairying, poultry raising ard sugar beet culture are | shown as becoming items of equal importance in the pro- gram of the farmer. It does not require much vision to see that even down in the minor products, some of the } new lines brought in by diversification hold promise of becoming vastly profitable staples in the not distant fu- ; ture. Sugar beets, for instance. They embody a vast possibility for the agriculture of North Dakota. After passing through a long period of stress, when agriculture was not at its best, livestock growing shattered see then + gi GIRLS WITH BRAINS According to statistics compiled by women's colleges in England, brains are below par in the marriage market. Girls with high scholarship records to their credit receive fewer matrimonial proposals than their less intellectually endowed sisters. Waiving the point that brains may be handicapped in competition with superficial beauty, it is fair comment to remark that brains and hearts are sep- arate and distinct and often are unrelated in Cupid's scheme of things. A toss of a curl, a dimple in a check, a curve of the hips, a gleam of an eye may smite a man who remains cold in the presence of mere brains. Once smitten, his own and his inamorata’s brains, if she has any, count for little. The poets from the distant past till now have testified to the maddening effect of love in robbing its victims of their brains. Besides, after all, man does not fancy a superior or even a rival in brains sitting across the domestic hearth. A brainy girl has conceit-smashing possibilities that are fearsome. The fire of genius seldom kindles ambition in the man who has money to burn. Speaking of women, as we so often do, French women do not vote. What's | more, they have no desire to vote, ac- | cording to several of their spokesmen ' who try to avert sympathy for their plight and insist that their voiceless state is rather a privilege.

The Caraway bill, making it reversible error for the Presiding judge in a United States court to express his personal opinion as to the credibility of witnesses and the weight of testimony, passed the senate last March almost without argument. Surely public opinion does not sup- port deliberate throttling of a judicial power that makes for the clarification of jury trials and for reasoned ver- dicts. The proposal is truly characterized by Mr. Hughes a8 a movement in the wrong direction. In this state the Baumes commission is seeking to restore to judges in set terms the right of comment which they dare not use for fear of reversible error. The Caraway bill awaits action by the judiciary committee of the house.
