It is, in fact, merely a peace between Mos- ; cow and Mukden. In time the Peiping regime may try + to undo the agreements reached and measure conelu- | sions with Russia. _ As one outcome of the situation developing out of the Manchurian campaign, the creation of a separate Mon- golian republic under the domination of Russia is ex- pected to be accomplished. Therein is another source | for friction between Moscow and Peiping. A Myth Upset ‘We have a fiction in this country that our really big @angsters—the aristocrats, so to speak, of our under- | ‘world—are very clever, brilliant men. “That man,” we say of an Al Capone or an Arnold | Rothstein, “could have made a great success if he had gone into some legitimate business or profession.” ‘That's one of our favorite myths, But once in a while bad _ Jess big shots aren't pretty dumb. _ There is, for instance, Fred Burke, or Fred Danc, the | Chicago gangster who lived in a mansion in St. Joseph, } Mich., as a millionaire business man. 1. Weries totaling $1,000,000 and the deaths of a dozen men | are charged to his account. Evidently the man was the " best specimen our underworld has yet produced. Ac- | @ording to our traditions, he must be a highly-gifted and \ brainy chap. But here is what Burke did. First, get the picture. Burke was sitting pretty. He was a respected citizen of St. Joseph. No one there dreamed of suspecting him. He had $300,000 in cold cash ‘and live in peace and quiet, or continue with his various Packets, the situation was perfect; so perfect, indeed. that it sounds more like fiction than fact. All right. Here was Burke, with all of this, driving : And what did Burke, the “brainy” gangster, do but ‘@rew his gun and shoot the policeman to death! It wasn't, remember, as if he had been arrested for serious crime. It was just a traffic charge. It have meant a fine of $25—not more. It could | Rot possibly have harmed Burke. ‘But instead of submitting and paying up he mur- Policeman. course, everything came out.

Whether he wanted to retire from crim? dealing Just what can be done to remedy matters is no obviously, it is a problem that necds some very 5: consideration. Some Figures on Aviation If you doubt that the aviation industry is rapidly on ihe way to a position among the nation’s industrial During 1923 American aircraft manufacturors buili airplanes to the value of over $75,000,000—140 por cent Vo be surc, as American businesses go, a gross produc- Lion of only $75,000,000 is not large. But it is the rate of growi which this figure indicates that is important ‘The aircraft industry is just beginning to hit its stride Such cities as Wichita, Kas., where airplane factories are centering, can look to the future with a great deal | of optimism. | A Hot Campaign for Alabama | Following the action of the Alabama Democratic or- | ganization in declaring war on Senator Tom Heflin for his opposition to Governor Smith in the last presidential campaign, one thing at least seems quite certain; Ala- bama is going to have a rip-roaring senatorial campaign next year, anyway. Say what you like about Senator Heflin, you must ad- mit one thing; the gentleman never yet ran away from a fight. Furthermore, there is nothing to show that his popularity with the rank and file of Alabama's Democrats has been particularly lessened. It goes without saying that he will accept the challenge offered by his state party leaders. The true hick complex is just an aversion to anything that doesnt’ nourish the convictions you now have, Character Counts THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1929 (Christian Science Monitor) Sound character building should be the first aim of education. Emerson said that the things learned in school and college were not education, but the means | @ of education. He could have added that the education ward the building of sound character. Without the strength of character which includes moral soundness, education, however complete otherwise, fails egregiously. Convinced of this fact, school authorities awake to the situation are considering anew means and methods for for Promoting this most important result of education. What some after-dinner speakers Well, three eyes are a ‘That failure in this direction of the methods of educa-/ need is not a watclt—but a calendar. . * tion now in vogue may play a considerable part in laxity to what they claim is inadequate home training and the lessening influence of the church and the Sunday school, on it cannot be denied that the schools have a direct respon-| home, either. sibility.

The ques-|téndance in the churches. Maybe Can character be strengthened best by direct methods which contemplate specific courses in moral and ethical education: or by indirect methods which look to the use of the incidents of the day for decided upon, the fundamental fact remains that love of truth, ability to distinguish between right and wrong, coupled with a profound conviction that right alone wins, must be the bases of all sound character building. Pensions for the Oid (Duluth Herald) The thought of old age pensions is again brought to Public attention by the pension bill introduced in con- Gress by Representative Connery of Massachusetts. The bill would make eligible for government help every person 63 years old or more whose income docs not exceed $12 a week. Citizenship in the United States 16 consecutive years is required, and there are provisions limiting it to those who have not been convicted of felon. jes and have a reasonably good record of citizenship. The amount of the pension would run from $4 to $8 a ry ae upon the income, under $12, of the ap- pl Representative Connery includes in his measure the statement that the act shall be “liberally administered to effect its purpose, which is to provide, out of the public Purse, sufficient income for the old to enable them to enjoy the last remaining years of their lives in such frec- dom from the fear of want as they have earned by a long service for society as citisens of the republic.” ® majority to this time none has adopted it.
