GO NEW YORK CHICA BOSTON (Official City, State an@ County Newspaper) THE HERALD'S ANNIVERSARY ‘The Grand Forks Herald has attained its fiftieth an- niversary. Celebrating this event, it issued a special edition which, naturally, dealt with the historical char- acter of the snniversary. It was a splendid edition, and the retrospect which it spread before its readers was un interesting bit of time and progress. ‘The Herald has been one of the leading major news- papers of the state and it has a record both in the chron- icling of the news and of championing public movements for the common good that constitute a fine heritage for the new management which has taken over the paper. Fifty years in North Dakota history is a magnificent span in civil progress. It stretches from the days of the Indians, the oxcarts, the stagecoach and the influx of homesteaders following in the wake of the Civil war, down through the period of settlement and agricultural evolution that has brought the state to its present stage of commercial and industrial development. The Tribune can appreciate the significance of all this, for it, too, is a pioneer in the journalism of the state and it, too, hes lived through the making of important history for the Northwest. The Tribune extends the hand of professional con- gratulation to the Herald. It welcomes the new man- ‘agement to its opportunities for good. If the past of the Herald is used for guidance, the paper will continue to fill an important role in the shaping of the destinies of the commonwealth and the empire of agriculture which constitute North Dakota. ‘The past success of the Herald has been due to the able staff which has guided and administered it. The fact that it has been taken over by @ trained and experienced ownership should be a guarantee of future usefulness and achievement. THE DAYS OF OUR YEARS It would be interesting to know the authority for the statement made at a meeting of insurance men in Chi- cago that the average length of life in Europe when Columbus discovered America was 20 years. The speaker mentioned it to show how the span of our days has been increased and as the basis for a prediction that they will be still further increased. At the time of the Civil war the average length of life had been extended to 40 years, he said; today it is 58 years and by 1950 it prob- ably will be 70 years. If the average expectation of life in 1492 was 20 years it hardly would have been greater 2,000 years before. Yet the Psalmist said: “The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be four- score years, yet is their strength labor and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.” This has usually been construed to mean that 70 years is the normal span of man’s life. The general impression has been that in Biblical times people lived to a greater age than now. Methuselah, son of Enoch, is credited with having been 960 years old when he died, and there were other patri- archs whose years were far more than have been attained in modern times. Even though there are some who con- tend that what were called years in those days were only lunar months, it is difficult to believe that the average span of life was so short as the statement concerning conditions in Columbus’ time would lead one to believe. Yet a writer in the New York Times has asserted that the average length of human life in Rome under the Caesars was 18 years. It is suspected that this is guess- work. No vital statistics of that period are available. ‘There is no doubt, however, that a few hundred years | *8°- ago people were regarded as old at a stage of life when they would not now be so considered. We get some ideas on the subject from the literature of the period. In the Middle Ages “grave and reverend signors” were men of 45. A man of 40 is called by Moliere “an aged gray- beard.” Coming down to more recent times, we can easily per- ceive how the average length of life has increased by visiting old graveyards and examining the epitaphs of people who died s hundred or more years ago. While few may have reached great age, the average was low. In 1800 it was placed at 32 years. As we pity our ancestors whose lives were so hard and 80 short, so perhaps our descendants of a few generations hence, among whom vigorous centenarians will be CUSTOMERS AND MARKETS Interesting figures on America’s foreign trade are con- tained in a compilation just issued by the Central Na- tional Bank of Cleveland. ‘This compilation shows that Europe is still our best customer.

That depends in part on individual taste. Light reading for travel is the popular choice which means usually that two or three of the best current novels are taken along. Also numerous magazines and a daily news- paper when it is available. But the traveler should not be content with these. Why not select two or three of the | Feally great books, the volumes he long promised himselt 20 \ the privilege of reading, and which he has not yet read? Such reading will stimulate. as well as interest, the traveler in preparing for the keenest relish of scencs } and shrines. . COATS AND 90 IN THE SHADE Why is it required in summer time that a gentleman wear his coat everywhere except on the golf links or ten- nis court or in the swimming pool? Dignity demands it, some say. Also, ii has always been the mark of a gentleman to wear a coat, no matter how ridiculous he looks mopping his face and brow or fanning himself violently with straw hat or newspaper. Sports costumes have emancipated women so far as summer apparel is concerned. Short sleeves, no collars, light and airy materials, loose-fitting, straight-line cos- tumes, all help the female of the species, be she flapper or dignified matron, to look cool and comfortable in the eyes of sweltcring man. Why do not the men declare a little independence in this matter? Returning suspenders are to be worn be- neath the shirt, so that dignity need not be sacrificed when the coat is removed. As an office uniform the coatiess outfit should make for greater comfort, increased efficiency and smoother tempers. Why not discard the coat except when formality or comfort demand its use? Although man never tires of bantering the opposite sex for being the slave of fickle fashion, there are good rea- sons for suspecting that men folk would cast aside the coat for the sake of comfort if it were not unfashionable. Husbands gibe their wives for being too conventional and melt under a heavy coat merely because it is unconven- tional to remove it in the presence of others. HE THOUGHT OF IT TOO LATE Dy. James H. Snook, the Ohio State university profes- sor who has admitted killing Theora Hix, medical student, says that he did it for the sake of his family. “I loved my wife and child too much,” he explains, “to allow her to destroy their happiness as she had threat- ened to do.” That all sounds quite noble, until you give it a second thought. Then, no doubt, it will occur to you that if the gentleman had really loved his wife and child as de- votedly as he says he did, he wouldn't have got involved in an affair with a pretty medical student in the first Place. The time for him to think of the love he had for his family was a couple of years ago, when the relationship with Miss Hix first began—not after it had progressed to a point where murder was the only way out. A good time is like the kingdom of Heaven; it is within you. ‘The smaller the town, the greater nose elevation a mil- lion dollars affords. | Editorial Comment | DEBENTURE REDIVIVUS (Washington Star) The debenture plan seems to have almost as many lives @sacat. At any rate, it quite apparently will not down. On the eve of congress’ recent recess Senator Norris, Re- Publican progressive of Nebraska, proposed that the famous export bounty scheme, already rejected by both houses and the president as an integral portion of the farm relief bill, should be affixed as a rider to the im- Pending new tariff law. Senator Borah, Republican pro- | Hselig of Idaho, long ago said that was where debenture longs. Yesterday the National Grange, chief sponsor of the Proposition, formally revived it by asking the senate fi- nance committee to incorporate an export debenture clause in the tariff bill now being fashioned by Chairman Smoot and his perspiring colleagues on Capitol Hill. Mr. Taber, the seasoned master of the Grange, in placing the Proposal before the committee, used somewhat ominous language. He asserted that farmers can in no other way obtain tariff benefits on surplus crops. Then in so many words he told senators that unless their chamber voted debenture into the revised protective system “there will be a different story to tell.” That has a certain 1930 con- gressional election ring about it. Political cynics might go the length of calling it a threat. Mr. Taber professes optimism as to debenture's fate in congress if clad in the garb of a tariff schedule. In the senate, where the plan was twice supported, though by the slenderest of majorities, the master of the Grange may be justified in viewing the future through rose-tinted glasses. The house smashed debenture by a vote of more than 2 to 1, and no evidence is at hand that the lower branch would be any more favorable to it, when cam- ouflaged, than when it was rejected in the original pack- One thing seems even more certain unless consistency takes wings from the white house. That is that President Hoover would not consent to a tariff which, he has said. wats bring “disaster,” not relief, to American agri- culture. ‘The Hawley-Smoot bill is sure to grant the farmer far- reaching tariff concessions in the way of higher rates on foreign produce, no matter what is done, or not done, for industry. But the prediction is strongly warranted that if farm politicians contrive to encumber the bill with a Project against which the president and the popular branch of congress are so sternly opposed, the restlt may be no tariff revision j—either for country or for town. WELL-TO-DO BEGGARS (New York Times) The occasional reports reaching the public about the incomes of professional beggars are confirmed by the remarks of Mr. John D. Godfrey, mendicancy officer of the Brooklyn bureau of charities, on Tuesday night. He stated -that in eighteen years’ experience in dealing with professional beggars in Brooklyn he failed to discover a single deserving case. In fact, he found that in many in- stances the men or women were making from $15 a day up by imposing on the good nature and kindness of passers-by in the streets. Such conditions are all the worse since these profes- sionals help to prevent the deserving from getting assist- ance. If even a part of the money which the panhandlers collect each day could go to the various charitable organ- izations, many really destitute persons would be aided. There may be occasional exceptions to Mr. Godfrey's axiom that a man genuinely in want does not turn to street Ing for relief.
