CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Pardon Our Chuckle For some years North Dakotans took rather a mourn- ful pride in the political disagreements among the citi- zenry which gave the state a great deal of advertising outside its borders. It was not good advertising, to be sure, and most of the businessmen and farmers of the state have long since recognized that fact. Whatever political battles have been fought out in North Dakota in recent years—and they haven't been very bloody— have been fought out at home without telling the neigh- about our troubles. Paka so, we in North Dakota may be pardoned for get- ting a chuckle out of the situation which exists in Louise jana, Governor Huey P. Long, who seems to be a color- ful personality, is contesting for the senate against Sen- ator Joseph Ransdell, the incumbent. That is, both are seeking the Democratic nomination, which generally is dered the equivalent of election. Coet what a furore the campaign is causing. Bitter- ness is rampant. Charges and counter charges are tossed back and forth with reckless abandon. The can- didates seem rot above the low pastime of calling names. ‘A newspaper reporter, calling on the governor, gets in- sulted and wallops him on the nose. Policemen are sta- tioned at newspaper offices, presumably to protect edi- tors who have been giving the governor the well-known “paspberry.” Men who presumably are opposed to the governor are spirited away and then the governor sud- denly produces one of them for a radio talk. In short, it resembles a political punch and judy show with an all-star cast. And yet, North Dakotans have been thinking for many years that this state had the most bitter and hardest- fought politital campaigns of any. But we look at Louisiana and say: “Pardon our chuckle.” It may be deadly serious to them, down there on the fag end of the Mississippi river, but it's a laugh to us. Spirit of Dallas It took two Frenchmen’s heroism to disclose the en- terprise of Dallas. Few but those close to aviation ever heard of Colonel Easterwood or the $25,000 aviation prise to the flier who made, with but one stop, a Paris to Dallas flight. A Dallas news correspondent has referred to the flight as the Frenchmen’s “epochal Paris-New York-Dalles Aerial Pilgrimage.” That is the Dallas spirit; the phrase reflects an en- thusiasm for aviation in this bustling city of the Lone Star state. It is doubtful whether the French fliers had Dallas tm mind when they hopped off at Le Bourget, but the strain of the trip over, the opportunity to collect a $25,- 000 purse was not resisted. French thrift asserted itself and Dallas received much more than $25,000 worth of pleasure and publicity as a result of the fliers’ visit. ‘The New York Times commenting on the Dallas anti- ¢limax of the flight has this to say: ‘Thus to link, without a single lost gesture, Dallas ‘with what Coste likes to call “a great city of the Old World and the greatest city of the New World” is a stroke of genius. It is legally correct, too, and only the ungracious will take the trouble to suggest that possibly the Frenchmen were not thinking a great deal about Dallas when they took off at Le Bourget. But Paris-New York-Dallas it is, and if in the course of years the middle term wears away ‘and it becomes a Paris-Dallas flight, no one west of the Hudson will have grounds for complaint. An Illinois Issue ‘Strange things happen in politics more often than not, and by no means the least strange is the manner in which Senator Gerald P. Nye of North Dakota has be- ome an issue in the Illinois senatorial primary. Only a few years ago, folks wondered who Senator Nye ‘was when the announcement was made that he had been ‘appointed to the United States senate. Now he is known ‘to most of the voters in Illinois, at least by name. It all comes about, of course, by reason of Mr. Nye's sectivity in investigating the Illinois primary election in which Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick gave Mr. Charles Deneen a sound walloping. One has no means of knowing whether Mrs. MoCor- Mick's victory constituted lese majesty to a member of the senate, but at any rate the senate’s investigating sommittee got busy with Senator Nye at its head and fur has been flying ever since. Public notice was attracted, of course, by the charges and counter charges of “shadowing.” Except for the fact that Nye represents this state in the senate, the llli- nols investigation and the imbroglio which it has pro- duced are of no more interest here than elsewhere in the nation. It is worthy of notice, however, that a North Dakotan thas managed to become one of the major political Issues in one of the more populous states. Only a Loan of Power It has been a long time since any man started quite such a turmoil of public discussion as James W. Gerard did when he loosed a statement declaring that some three-score industrial and financial big shots are the Teal rulers of this country. Judging from published comments, Mr. Gerard may hhave failed to convince very many people, but he at Jeast set them talking; and since at least a few of the talkers stopped to do some thinking as well, we must give Mr, Gerard credit for having performed a public service, Mr. Gerard's proposition is interesting, and on the sur- ‘Possible to go a long way in agreement with him without ‘Hosing one’s faith in the ultimate triumph of American ‘What he says, in substance. is simply this: That poli- Veaders are not the real cources of power in Ameri- ca, since they “take their orders,” knowingly or other- wise, from the men behind the scenes; and that these orders come from men like Morgan, Ford, Rockefeller and Mellon, who are, consequently, the “real rulers” of the country. Rockefellers have things pretty much their own way. Big Business has its hands on most of the strings. Taken by and large, it gets what it wants. But there are one or two things to remember. First of ail, Big Business occasionally gets rebuffed. The railroads do not always have their own way with the Interstats Commerce Commission. The oil men have not been able io get permission to ration out ofl production as they would like. The power industry certainly did not welcome the recent “propaganda” investigation, nor has it yet been able to get Muscle Shoals. i; More important, however, is the fact that the govern- mental framework set up after the Revolution ts still intact. Each citizen still has a vote. In theory, at least, the government is still able to do just about as it pleases, regardless of the attitude of the business world. What it comes to, then, is this: Big industrial and financial leaders exercise vast power over America be- cause the voters, for the present, are willing that they should do so. The American people believe that in the long run they will all be the gainers if the Morgans and Fords are given a fairly free hand. The Morgans and Fords, then, have power—but if is only a loan. The people have. the power to call that loan whenever they want to. The machinery of democracy is still in the right hands. Mr. Gerard's 60 big shots may be our rulers—for the present. But they rule only on sufferance. No Tears from the Feminists The result of the Texas primary, according to politi- cal writers. probably means political oblivion for “Ma” Ferguson, whose term as governor of the Lone Star State is still fresh in the public memory. As cne of the first of her sex to govern an American state, Mrs. Ferguson's fame will endure, very probably, for a long time. Yet American feminists can hardly la- ment her defeat. Her victory was never, in any sense, ® triumph for the suffragists. ‘There was never much nourishment in it for the “women’s rights” crowd. Instead, Mrs. Ferguson will be remembered chiefly as the instrument through which her discredited husband regained power—for a short period—in Texas. Feminists will never inscribe her name as one of the great cham- pions of their cause. | Editorial Comment | Who Is Your Neighbor? (Wells County Free ) Though we have not lived in this world as long as some of our older good citizens, in our short career we have come to the conclusion that we are all neighbors and that we must treat each other as such. We must give and take. This world is not made up of one man’s face seems to have a good deal of justification. But it is idea nor of the ideas of a dozen men but of the opinions and thought of innumerable men. Fs Why not give your neighbor credit for his idea? Per- haps it is as good as yours or better. In business also} we have found that each man has his own opinions and ideas as to the conduct of his own affairs. We may criticize them but would our ideas applied to his busi- ness, improve it? On the other hand we might. make changes that would be better. This holds true in every line of effort, ft » merchan = ad epee » farming, m dising—yes, and print: Since this community is dependent upon the farm for |* and business its existence and farmers men alike are striving for the betterment of agriculture, it is neces- sary, in our opinion that we practice this idea of being neighborly bear with each other on the difference of opinion, and from year to year, work with the same idea in mind. Success in this effort can only be gained through neighborliness and harmony. Not, only confine this neighborliness to toleration or mere demonstration of good will but display it in trad- ing together and keeping the dollar at home where it 4s going to do tho most good for the upbuilding of the entire commurity from a financial, moral and religious standpoint. It makes for better people and a better community, The Illinois Fight (Valley City Times-Record) Mrs. Ruth Hanna McCormick struck back at Senator Nye yesterday when she said she was responsible for the sending out of detectives to investigate the senator. In her statement to the public she tnaintained that it was not a case of prosecution but a case of persecution, and that emissaries of the senate investigating committee had Heed poet tet ren her desk roel private office in an out something they could br! inst ee ie investigation. a are Ing her campaign yesterday at Carbondale, IIl., Mrs. McCormick said that the Nye investigation was a personal one and not a committee one—that she was ® congressman-at-large from Illinois and was entitled to the same respect as was Senator Nye. In her employ- pore’ detectives she said she was only acting in self- ‘The McCormick-Nye muss has started something in the country and at least gotten both parties into the headlines of the papers.

The wants to know “what the senator is going to do about it?” and there you are. ‘The senator comes back and summons mahy witnesses to an inquiry and evidently he is going to make the lady show the world how she spent'a quarter of a million dollars in winning that nomination some time ago.

Pyromaniac Is Blamed For 4 Blazes Within Short Period.” The which follows is a highly imaginative’ collection of misstate- ments, perhaps the most glaring of which is the asse: that a “barn at the Stutsman County fa! ” burn- ed and “the blaze cost about $5,000 to $10,000.” In the first. place the 15x24 foot barn which burned was not in the fairgrounds. It was an unpainted, more or less tumbled-down shack which could not have been sold for $50. If The Forum should figure all of the city “pyromaniacs,” one of the former declaring, “It is absurd to talk about fire around in our kitchen between three and four o'clock in the after- noon,” while Dr. Kroeze, president of Jamestown College, declared, “The college fire undoubtedly started from defective wiring. Why would any one set fire to an attic room of our men’s hall? The whole idea is silly.” Chief of Police Docktor was even more emphatic in ridiculing the idea of firebugs and explained that the Police regularly hgve been “runn’ hoboes out of that deserted mill, but were so busy wit! lege fires that we hadn't been down there that night. Fire-bugs could not have set either the hotel or college fire and the others were probably set by transients.” We frankly admit that we do not understand the pub- Ucation by @ newspaper of state-wide circulation of such stories, and “we would not take notice of them had not they concerned Jamestown. We are not at all troubled when The Forum grossly overestimates the population of the Gate City, covers up stories of contagious or in- fectious diseases there, or fails to “solve” the “myster- fous” attack upon one of their young women or the recent murder of one of their young men near the fair grounds there, but we do respectfully s1 that they confine their fairy stories to their own city, and that if ‘There isn’t much question that the Morgans and{ -——_____—_____—_- | | Today Is the the hotel and ceil | they must “sleuth,” there is plenty of material right Anniversary of BOSTON POLICE STRIKE On September 9, 1919, following the newly formed union.

Shortly after this Sam- uel Gompers, president of the Amer- ican Federation of Labor, requested that the policemen return to their posts until after the industrial con- ference. Ooolidge refused to give the strik- ing policemen back their jobs and a new body of policemen was formed.
