(Official City, State and County Newspaper) THE FRONTIER LINGERS ‘The men whose lives connected modern America with its colorful old western frontier are passirg rapidly, and each time one goes the newspaper announcements of the fact are tinged with regret. . Wyatt Earp, who wore—and used—his two six-shoot- 4 ers in the days when Dodge City, Kas., was 4 center of ‘Picturesque, lawless turbulence, is the latest of the old- : timers to pass on. A few days before he went Tex Rick- _ ard died—and Tex, for all that he was identified with ' the ultra-modern business of large-scale boxing, really belonged to the old frontier. ‘The old frontier seems very remote to us now, but it is ‘still amazingly close in point of time. Though their | number is diminishing fast, there are still men who can recall the mad, bad days of Deadwood, Tonopah and Dodge City, and the wild frenzy of the Klondike is still 8 living memory to a great many. But we have moved away from the things those names symbolize faster than the calendar would indicate. Wyatt ‘Earp, the Dodge City peace officer, was not an extremely old man when he died; yet the Dodge City he knew is, in Teality, as remote from modern America as the Boston of 1776. A whole cycle of history has been compressed into the last 50 years. The country has lived extremely fast. Processes of social evolution that ordinarily take centur- {es have been compressed into decates. It is not without significance that the death of every man whose life was identified with those olc. frontier days 4s chronicled at considerable length. We have a more or less subconscious regret at the speed with which the old ' + days are rushing back into the past. Life on the frontier | + was hard, wild and tumultuous, and it never fostered the | softer graces; but at least it was straightforward and » comparatively simple. It had none of the complexity and bewilderment that the decade since the World War has brought. \. Probably we outgrew it faster than was good for us. Geared to the tempo of a leisurely, obvious social era, we have been plopped down into the middle of an era that js hurried and complex. Unconsciously, we try to +| solve our present problems by standards that were de- | vised for an earlier day. Men who grew up in a day of horse-and-buggy transportation are compelled to spend their maturity amid automobiles and sirplanes. ‘This, as much as anything, is responsible for the tur- moi] and bewilderment that are so apparent in modern life. Things have come a little too fast for us. We read of the death of a man like Wyatt Earp with a pang be- cause we feel, down deep, that we are somehow better fitted for his day than for our own. ‘The generation now growing up will see things differ- ently, It will be used to the age of machinery from the cradle, and it will be able to cope with it without giving way to doubt and perplexity. Instead of having to ad- fust human lives to mechanics, it will be able to adjust ;| mechanics to human life. For that reason we can look | to the future with hope. We ourselves are in a bit of a muddle, but it’s only natural. We're still too ¢lose to the i il THE CIVILIZING FORCE || Aecording to one conception, the love of money is the | | root. of all evil; according to another, it is one of the | great principles that move the world. It is not deniable | that love of money leads to the commission of many } Of the people were indifferent to money; did not care greatly for it or for the things that are to be had in ex- - Change for it. All the great discoveries in science and every one of great inventions that have been mad might have + been brought forth if nobody cared for money. But they would not have been turned to account. Knowledge is useful only when employed to the general advantage. If Ft there were no love of money there would be no capital to ©, exploit the products of science and invention, nor would there be incentive to engage in the manufacture and dis- tribution of the great mass of devices that have become necessities to us. People would be born, struggle along through a space of time to secure a bare living and die. _ In the pursuit of money today there is a minimum of injustice. At any rate everybody gets a chance to secure share of the general store of wealth, usually enough for Ris needs, and at the same time may enjoy the fruits automobile will extend the average car-lite, The outcome is problematical but it may be depended upon that the law of supply and demand will prevail in the form of the survival of the fittest. A diminished demand as in all things will eventually weed out many of the weaker automobile manufacturers and better automobiles will result from the increased competition, but will the auto- mobile industry still in its infancy comparatively, sur- render to the stifling effects of this law of supply and demand without a fight? Hardly. Automobile history has been brief but it has not been barren of heroics, val- fant battles against odds and desperate struggles for existence. It may be counted on that the automobile manufacturers will not submit to the flashes of the ap- proaching storm. Natural solutions are not always at hand, but Ameri- can industrial ingenuity may be depended upon always to find an artificial remedy, and the automobile industry has already intimated its antidote for the advancing market ills. The automobile industry has confidence in the perpetuation of individual prosperity and pride in the United States and when the time comes, when there will be a “trade-in” for every sale, automobile manufacturers will satisfy the typical American thirst for everything- that-is-new by frequent radical changes and improve- ments in their products, discouraging the retention of one automobile over more than one year and creating a new ayd inexhaustible market. American automobile manufacturers know human na- ture in America. The manner in which the automotive industry will mect the law of supply and demand may not be a lesson in national economics, but it will mean better automo- biles, HOW BRITAIN FIGHTS ACCIDENTS When the British undertake to deal with a puzzling situation by law, they can be expected to be very thorough about it. The British parliament is now considering a bill de- signed to reduce traffic accidents. It goes much far- ther than any law the United States has yet considered. To begin with, it would license all drivers, make revo- cation of a license mandatory on conviction of careless driving and compel every autoist to carry Mability insur- ance. It would install mechanical governors on all autos to keep them from exceeding the speed limit. It would borrow from the rules of navigation a provision requir- ing any driver, when he sees any danger of a collision, to stop his car at once. These are drastic measures. The British don't do things by halves. The Bismarck Lions are not living up to their desig- nation. They're. cultivating the reputation of being “birds” by their jolly stunts, Prosperity is that state in which people can buy more things on the monthly payment plan. With life, as with balloon trousers, there is room at the top but more at the bottom. Editorial Comment THE NEW CAPITOL BUILDING (Devils Lake Journal) A bill has been introduced in the state house of repre- sentatives providing for a tax levy of thirty-four hun- dredths mills per dollar on all taxable property of the state for the creation of a fund to finance the erection of a@ new capitol building in Bismarck. Of course, many taxpayers might see in this another attempt to increase the state tax burden needlessly, but a careful considera- tion of the proposition should convince even the most conservative of its urgent necessity. North Dakota at the Present time probably has the most antiquated and worst equipped capitol building in the northwest, and probably in the entire nation. There is nothing about its outside appearance that would attract more than passing atten- tion, while its accommodations are so inadequate that many of the state departments are compelled to secure accommodations in other parts of the city. North Da- kota is fast forging ahead, and the state should keep its public buildings up to date, starting with the state cap- itol as an example of modernness and efficiency. HOW RUMORS TAKE ON LIFE (Devils Lake Journal) One of the most distressing things about one’s connec- tion with the newsgathering end of a newspaper is the running down of rumors and bits of gossip that appear to be accepted by an entire community as genuine facts. Several times recently rumors have broken forth in this city that smacked of good news possibilities, but when the reporters had worked exhaustively upon them, from the source up, it was invariably found that they were the mere machinations of someone's imagination. We might paraphrase Oliver Goldsmith to the effect: “And still the wonder grew that one small rumor worked up such a stew.” The reason that an innocent rumor often takes on the toga of seriousness, injuring the reputation of some innocent person, is that there are so many people i: this world who are always so ready to believe anything nasty of someone, that they grab a rumor as a hungry dog would a bone, and, through various tricks of the im- agination, build it into a terrible tale. And another scan- dal bursts into the air, much to the delight of nosey gossipers and other bad-wishers. The newspaper makes an honest effort to be secure and use only facts, and that is the reason why it ignores idle rumors. It cannot get very far on one of these “I-heard-this” bits of spicy gossip. A BURNS ANNIVERSARY (St. Paul Dispatch) Wherever two or three Scotchmen are gathered to- gether next Friday, Robert Burns will be in their midst. That day is the 170th anniversary of the birth of Scot- land’s bard. It is unfortunate that his poetry for the most part is written in Doric, the tongue of lowland Scotland that once was the language of a brilliant court and an inde- pendent nation with a rich literature. Doric is often regarded as a dialect which hides the beauty of his verse. In spite of this handicap, Burns is a notable con- tributor to the quotations and proverbs of all who speak English. Among his oft-quoted lines are: ae best laid plans of mice and men gang aft a-gley. Man's inhumenity to man makes countless thou- sands mourn.

THE BISMARCK TRIBUN : | Swingin’ Down the Lane for Home! : | CHILDREN One of ths most important, things in the life of an adult is what we call the “psychological moment.” In plain words, the right moment. Still-more important is the “right moment” in the life of a child and in your training of him. If you wish to teach a little lesson it is better to wa:t for one of these times. Undoubtedly there are mo- ments wher your boy or girl seems nearer to you, when there is a clear- er understanding, a deeper symya- A ‘What you say then will be re- membered much longer than if you choose a time when his mind is filled with something else. If John is all excited about going to a movie, that isn’t the time to call him into your room and give him a talking-to about his rude treatment of Grandma, If you think your son is not as careful of Grandma’s feelings as he should be the thing to do is to wait until a day when he isin a particu- larly thoughtful mood and then in a skillful and not too personal way tell him the real reason for being kind to old people, and Grandma in particular. How to Explain “You see, John, it isn’t so very long ago that Grandma was a young woman like me, and Daddy was a little boy like you. And now she has no home of her own and she pretends to herself that you are her little boy and this is her home all over again, and she loves you as much or more than she did Daddy. So we mustn’t give her cross answers and we have to pretend we like it when.she fusses over us too much.” That kind of talk, whether it is about Grandma, or getting lessons or helping Daddy with chores about the house, will register with John a only too apt to resent them as being unjust. But wait until that false wall of :Gefense has vanished. It may take {a day or more. And then talk to him about his misdemeanor when he jis in a frame of mind to listen to | you and profit by what you tell him. We are too apt to gct after chil- dren when it suits us, not them, and usually it suits us when we have lost control of our tempers.

THE PROTECTIVE CITRUS FRUITS Only a few years ago oranges and grapefruit were considered expensive delicacies to be used on special holi- oranges, orange juice, and grapefruit are served at every restaurant, club and cafeteria. Tt has been estimated that at least seventy-five out of every hundred people use some of these either for breakfast or at some time during the vinced that these are helpful fruits. Many people have arrived at this opinion because of their own exper- fence and others have been con- value of citrus fruits. The fact that oranges are whole- some is not a new discovery, for we find as early as 1646, Ferrarius wrote one of the first books on citrus fruit in which he recommended orange juice for persistent fevers accompan- led by eruptions. Only @ few years ago I was se- verely criticized for recommending orange juice for babies, but now every up-to-date doctor recommends. this. Science knows that orange juice is especially valuable because of the large amount of lime and magnesia, both necessary building elements. Orange juice also contains a large amount of the protective vitamins against rickets. The citric acid in the orange and other citrus fruits is @ valuable stimulant to digestion, and seems to increase the flow of bile. ‘This makes it especially helpful to those who have @ tendency to slug- treatment than to live for a few days exclusively on a citrus diet and after the fruit fast it is a wise thing for one with a tendency to liver derange- ment to take at least one meal a day of oranges or grapefruit until the trouble has been entirely remedied. A citrus fruit fast can also be used to advantage in many other diseases since it produces a rapid increase in the blood’s alkalinity perhaps more speedily than any other healthful method. Not only will this exclusive diet result in in the alkalinity of the blood, but it will give your in- testines and alimentary canal a rest and you will eliminate vast quantities of toxins from your body and will in this way assist in the cure of many disorders. The best method s not to take too long a fast unless you are under the proper supervision, but to make up your mind to stick to the fast for about five days, during which time you should use a full glass of orange or grapefruit juice every two hours. If you will keep to this regular sched- ule you will find that you have bet- In some disorders you may have & lars left an estate of ‘only half a million,” many people profess .sym- pathy for-his widow. It’s hard for most of us, figuring her yearly guar- anteed income of at least $30,000, to feel so terribly, sorry, for her. HER WILHELM That mothers never see any wrong in their own children, especially in their sons, is one of our pet truisms, But some recently published letters written by the mother. of former Kaiser Wilhelm II show that the Empress Frederick was under no il- lusions about her boy, Wilhelm. She says: i “He has neither the scruples nor the conscience to stick to anything.” In another letter she says, “Wilhelm on every occasion uscs big words and thinks he is a big man.” And again, the grave—a useless and forgotten woman — the ill-considered path which my son has cut out for him- self. The worst is that perhaps we must all pay for his ignorance and lack of shrewdness.” | DID IT HERSELF A San Francisco wife complains that her husband stole her jewelry. She had the husband, Robert Lamar, who titles himself a motion picture actor, arrested. The plaintive wife tells her story thus: it, traveling iss Frances Jane Curtis of Cov- Ky., en route to San Fran- rom Denver, she met. Robert Lamar on her train. She was en- foeed but Lamar so swept her off er feet that she left the train with him at iy re they were wed. Both the bridegroom and her other jewels disap; fter the wedding dinner, she moans. Is it too unsympathetic to query, “And what could you expect?” Mrs, Lamar is just an ample of the thousands of women who bring their griefs on themselves, and then whine at their “rotten deals.” Our Yesterdays FORTY YEARS AGO Senator Lowry has returned from a trip to his home at Huron.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Cancer Net Infectious Question: A. asks: “Will you please tell me if cancer is catching? Now, for instance, a person who has been operated on for cancer of the rectum is home now; would it be un- wise to do that person’s washing? This person has to wear a tube the rest of his life.” Answer: It is possible to contract certain kinds of infections from the discharge from a cancerous lesion but there is no possibility of contracting cancer in this way. Todine, Food or Medicine? Question: 8. G. asks: “Would the constant use of iodized salt be harm- ful to anyone? It is about the same price as the ordinary salt and some people use it in the seasoning of food as well as on the table. Is it right for people without symptoms of goiter to use this iodized salt in daily food?” Answer: It is not advisable to use fodine either in salt or any other preparation except under the advice of @ physician.
