In | contrast this state has good crops if many other parts of | the country, and even of the world, are used in com- BOSTON parison. For in North Dakota the crops are merely spotted. Some stands of grain are fine. Barley goes to 50 bushels to the ‘ecre. corn is looking as though a good rain or two might produce a good crop, as it has stood up fine through the dry spell, and not all the rye has to be plowed under nor Goes all the wheat fall velow 10 bushels to the acre. | There are sections where wheat will go 25 bushels to the H acre, it is reported.

The fact is the whole world is suffering just as is North Dakota—and even worse. It is so in Europe, it is so in| Cuba, it is so in Australia and South America. In Cuba | there have been water riots.

So North Dakote hasn't cause to be down in the mouth. The gist of it all | is that North Dakota, while not as well off as some of the industrial states, probably, still is not as hard put as England and Cuba and other lands where the drouth has dried up water supplies and burned or dried up crops. Henry Tatley, coming back from Europe, says he met | these conditions as early as June when he went over. Crops and pastures have been hard hit over there, he says. North Dakota may have been bumped a little hard, but the state still is on its feet, and better prices for wheat will take a lot of the crimp out of the situation before the snow flies. There is diversified farming. And behind the clouds the sun still is shining. PLACES WE REVERE ‘The great Washington cathedral slowly draws nearer completion on its imposing site overlooking the national capital. Designed as a “national shrine,” this cathedral will eventually be one of the most impressive church struc- tures in the United States. Woodrow Wilson lies buried in it; and its founders hope that the cathedral ulti- mately will be to the American people something like what Westminster Abbey is to the English. Building a national shrine, however, is a strange sort of business. The places that a nation takes to heart are not usually places that were planned in advance as centers of patriotic devotion. They pop up unexpectedly; and the affection that goes out to them is generally due to the memories that center around them rather than to the expensive and impressive buildings that adorn them. Suppose that @ committee of Americans a century ago had undertaken to pick a few places that the America of 1929 would hold in especial veneration. Would they, by any chance, have guessed right more than once in ten times? ‘They would not, surely, have picked a dilapidated log cabin in Hardin county, Ky.; a cabin which had been the birthplace of a gawky young Illinois rail-splitter and country storekeeper. ‘They would never have dreamed of crossing the border into Mexico and putting a bronze tablet on the Alamo in Sen Antonio. Texan independence, the conquest of the southwest and the red battle of the Alamo were matters undreamed of then. ‘They would have been extremely puzzled if anyone, pointing to two young West Point cadets named Lee and on the bald brow of Stone we been flabber- an attempt would New York | Way and the drivers conferred thereafter in whispers. sold. j It is estimated that 2 per cent of those who write the glowing “continued prosperity” articles can afford new | suits.

The things look singular. | Editorial Comment | CHILD LABOR DECREASING (The Nation) No Fourth of July oration about our national excel- lences could produce half so warm a glow of pride in us as the summary of twenty-five years of progress in fight- ing child labor recently issued by the national child labor committee. In 1904, when the committee began its work, only 17 states were even attempting to keep children under 14 Out of the factories, and only five states prohibited night | work for children under 16. Today every state in the | union has some kind of 14-year age limit, and in 39 states | children under 14 cannot work in factories under any | circumstances. But there is still much to be done before all American children are protected. States like North Carolina and Georgia have loopholes in the law which allow mill own- ers to work young children very long hours by day or night. North Carolina allows children of 14 to work in mills 60 hours a week if they have completed the fourth grade in school, and Georgia allows them to work 11 hours a day, while workers of 16 in Georgia mills may be employed for a 12-hour night. Most of the survivals of child labor in the United States exist in those parts of the population that are unusually poor, notably among farmers and mill workers. Child labor has decreased since 1904 not only because of the development of a social conscience concerning the rights of children, but because of high wages. Probably the fathers and mothers of China care as much for their children as do American fathers and mothers, but child labor is ten times as common in China as here because we are rich and the Chinese are poor. Score one for American materialism! GERMAN EYES TO THE EAST (Living Age) Germany's famous “Drang nach Osten”—her impulse to expand toward the east—did not end with the World war. She maintains the closest relations with Russia, she interests herself in the affairs of Persia and Afghanistan, and she has recently turned her attention to Roumanis. Gen. Hans von Seekt, former commander-in-chief of the German reichswehr, has been investigating the pos- sibility of planting a large German colony at the mouth of the River Danube. There are now living in Rou- mania 800,000 Germans who helped erect the present Premier, Iuliu Maniu, and defeat the pro-French Liberal The ides of a German colony at the Danube delte ts to the French, who believe that Strategic position controls not only nian grain output, but is also easily able to with Russia. von Beekt,. who, the German army that conquered TRoumanian subjects of Clerman extraction” and foreigners. is lintend to keep on doi. bition question.

She tried a verbal wrest. ling match with him, but even the dramatics of the thing didn’t go over with this particular crowd.
