(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representatives SMALL, Gneasers & LEVINGS Formerly CHICAGO eth eae a en Tragedies of Unemployment It is announced at Washington that the unemployment ; trisis has passed. The country is “out of the woods,” says a high government official; all of us may breathe more easily now. Just the same, there are occasional bad spots that have not yet been wiped up. Your daily paper gives you hints ‘about them. They are worth thinking about. ‘The other morning there were two such hints in the @aily news report. In Chicago, at the peak of a sharp cold wave, a woman ‘was found sitting by an empty stove in the barren kitchen of the house she called home. There was no fuel in the house. The stove contained no fire. The woman had frozen to death. In Cleveland a man was released from jail after being acquitted of a charge of embezzling money from his former employers. He returned home to find his family destitute. Gas had been shut off because the gas bill was unpaid. The youngest child had pneumonia and was being cared for by a neighbor. There was nothing for the rest to eat and no way for them to keep warm. A welfare organization refused to extend any help because the breadwinner was out of jail now and could do his part; but the breadwinner could not get a job. Now those two little items, quite unrelated, are not, of course, enough in themselves to refute the govern- ment’s optimistic reports about the unemployment situa- tion. Such things will happen even when times are booming. But they are rather terrible, even so. It is terrible that a woman can freeze to death, in her own house, in the middle of the second city of the nation. It is terrible that a strong, capable man who wants to ‘work has to remain idle and watch his family slowly succumb to cold and hunger in a great industrial city of @ million inhabitants. These things are not anybody's fault, They are not matters that concern any presidential unemployment conference. They simply happen, that’s all; in good times THE the starvation and pillage, the gigantic grapples pf the armies may turn to poetry. This literature of disillusion- ment will be read by people in search of thrills. It will take more than novels to bring us enduring peace. If we depend on them too heavily we shall let ourselves in for a sad awakening. Experts declare the bear population of the United States is on the decrease. Mave they forgotten Wall Street's recent upheaval? The 1930 Census Commercial clubs, the various luncheon groups and the organizations of women can serve the state excellently in assisting the census director in getting the data sought. It is easier to get correct data and an honest count of population now than try to force corrections later on. All civic bodies should be alert to the responsibilities imposed every ten years in the taking of a federal census. Every one should be alert to the advantage of accuracy. Complete cooperation should be accorded the enumera- tors. Then years ago in North Dakota and especially in Bis- marck, the census was indifferently handled. In some locations weather conditions were not favorable. Those who plan to be away should leave the informa- tion in proper hands so that they will be included in the count. The local Association of Commerce can do much in securing an accurate count and getting the real pic- ture of Bismarck and Burlejgh county resources into the official record which must stand for the next ten years. Some persons will consider the questions propounded as silly or as governmental meddling in something that is none of its business. But the enumerator is entitled to the fullest cooperation. He only will be doing his duty under the law and the citizen his in answering truthful- ly all legitimate questions. Many things depend upon a federal census. It is more than a simple counting of noses and classification of creed, race, color and age. Among the more important phases of the census are: Determination of representation in congress, in legis- latures, application of some laws, limitations of debt and issuance of bonds for public works. Even the issue of texation enters into the census. Some valuable data will be compiled. Light will be shed upon infant mortality, how much longer life’s span has been in the decade that has just closed, the general drift of population, unemployment and many other in- teresting and profitable facts will be uncovered, so that the federal government can cope more intelligently with the great social and economic problems. Greet the enumerator with a smile. What you tcll him must be held in confidence. Data given him will be held as strictly in confidence as are the income tax re- ports. That is the law.

If there are many more cross currents at the London parley, we can delete the “dis” out of the disarmament conference. A Needless Tragedy It is impossible to take the news of Ohio motor bus tragedy calmly. Nine school children were killed because a bus driver piloted his car out on the main line of the New York Central railroad, right in the path of @ speeding mail train. There can be no real excuse for an accident of this kind. If the windows of a bus are frosted, as seems to have been the case in this instance, so that the driver's view of the crossing is obscured, there is nothing on earth and in bad, in prosperity and in depression, there are always.some spots that are dark, cold and utterly horrible. What can we do about them? Not a great deal, except open our hearts and resolve that we will be, after all, our brothers’ keepers. For efficiency is not enough and never will be. Such things will continue to happen until all of us make up our minds that we cannot be snug and well- fed and contented unless our neighbors are the same way, too; until we reach the point where an unknown stranger's misery is our own misery, too. That day is a long way off. We are still fairly selfish and indifferent. And that is why it is good for us to read of these incidents. Every time a news story of this kind jars our complacency and comfort, it moves us a little bit nearer to the era of brotherhood. It seems queer that long skirts and suspenders should return simultaneously, but we note that Fannie Hurst has sounded the’ battle cry: “Down with the corset and up with the hemline.” The battle of the “stabilized hip line” is going to be good with “Fannie” leading the crusade. Stories Will Not End War Pickett’s charge at Gettysburg was frightful carnage, Suly 3, 1863. Yet it has come to assume a glamour in the eyes and thoughts of succeeding generations. The siege of Verdun was massacre on a vast scale in the World war, hideous butchery beyond description. May it not, however, as the present generations die off and new generations come to the fore achieve the epic status which the charge of the Light Brigade at Balaklava at- tained from the pen of Tennyson? ‘These thoughts are suggested by the growing volume of literature painting the monstrous savagery and idiocy of war, thereby lulling the world into the assumption that perhaps this frankness of the new type of war ro- mance may of itself make future butcheries, such as the ‘World war, impossible. Especially with the lift that peace pacts and armament-limiting conferences hold out for this hope. ‘The fact is that these war novels assure nothing. ‘There is a mirage about them. They have been tending to lull the unthinking into premature hope that the filth and suffering and ugliness of war are on the verge of being made everlastingly impossible by the advent of an abiding peace as the principle on which the nations of the world will hereafter dwell together. ‘We have told ourselves: “Surely the old illusions about ‘war have been destroyed by now. Surely this literature, which shows war for the frightful business that it really is, will prevent people ever again from welcoming a new war.” ‘That sounds quite logical. Such books as “All Quiet on the Western Front,” “Squad,” “All Our Yesterdays,” and “All Else is Folly"—to name a 2H. be quite mistaken. Indecd, it is an open question whether even the most _ earnest of these anti-war novels may not, in the long to keep him from stopping his bus, getting out and walk- ing to the tracks to see for himself whether the way is clear. No motorist should ever take a chance at a railroad crossing; and this rule applies with tenfold effect to the man who is driving a bus-full of school children. Le: every bus driver in the country pay attention to it. How could the medics ever expect a parrot to say: “Psittacosis.” | Editorial Comment | The Juggernaut of Athletics (Minot Daily News) Here is the low-down on college football, as given by Bud McBride, a prominent Nebraska halfback, in an in- terview in the Omaha World-Herald: “I have heard Johnny Bender say a dozen times: ‘Football made a bum out of me.’ And that’s just what it does to 90 per cent of the players. “I played high-school football and liked it, It was a great game. When I went to university I was pledged to a fraternity. You know what happened then. I went out for football. Once you start and show any ability you can't stop. You're in it from then on. “What's the result? Football takes a good share of your afternoons and evenings in the fall and spring. You can't take engineering or law or any technical courses. They would take too much time. So you just string along, take all the pipe courses in the university and hie luck that you'll pass enough of them to stay el le. “Here I am, a senior, with a fair football record, but I haven't learned a thing that will help mie earn a living when I get out. We players are just the monkeys at the circus, that’s all. We go through our antics, in a neat little pile at the box office, but the velvet all goes to the organization.” And what is the conclusion of the whole matter? Foot- ball, McBride maintains, while professing to be-amateur, is “as professional as any sport can be.” While adver- tising “sport for sport’s sake,” it builds its big stadiums and asks the crowd to come and pay their money, and the crowds oblige. The players furnish the show and pay the penalty. Football is more powerful than the colleges that created ‘it, and this particular victim can’t see any way of curbing it. Can anyone?

New eating places were always interesting to Judith. Her attention was captured by a pretty waitress who looked so very much like Hollywood celebrity she might. have been the star's twin sister. “It's the wavy line of her hair about her face,” Judith told berselt.
