THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE. MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1930 y ay Yyff ye ually crack the peace of Europe; but it would be foolish not to recognize this restlessness as born of the war. ‘The war, in fact, is not over. Its dire effects will out- live our generation. ‘War, in more ways than one, is costly and unsettling. If we are compelled to realize it, it will be good for us. The Idols of Boyhood It was impossible for any American brought up in the old traditions of the national game to keep from feeling a reminiscent thrill the other day when Boston lined up two teams of old-time baseball playets and put them .0u| through a regulation nine-inning game. The great, almost legendary names of the old days were there. Cy Young and Joe Wood were among the Pitchers. Honus Wagner, With his bandy legs, was at shortstop. Ty Cobb, greatest of them all, crouched over 2.00 | the plate in his old, familiar style. Baseball's most fam- ous infield, in the persons of McInnis, Collins, Barry and Baker, held a reunion; so did its greatest outfield, with Lewis, Speaker and Hooper coming back to revive old memories. Lou Criger was there, and Dode Paskert, and Johnny Evers, and Roger Bresnahan, and Bill Carrigan, and Hugh Bedient, and Fred Tenney—a regular roll-call of baseball's immortals. The old-timers themselves undoubtedly had a good time of it, and the 30,000 Bostonians who gathered to watch them must have had one too. ‘And, on the whole, even those of us who didn't see the game, and had to take it at second-hand, through the newspapers, can be glad that the game was played. For these men were the boyhood idols of millions of men, They had, in their day, fame comparable to the present-day fame of Babe Ruth and Hack Wilson, No one knows how many small boys used to enshrine these men.on boyhood’s highest pedestals; and the adults that those small boys have, by now, become look’ fondly back i fe 3Eg FEES E gag itt i g i “(incorporated Formerly G.

A great many congressmen and senators have already. been balked by the voters in their desire to return to ‘Washington. Many more will fall by the wayside in No- vember. Yet all of these defeated lawmakers will con- vene in December, empowered to continue at the work of legislation for 13 months after they have been voted out of office. There is no excuse whatever for any further failure on the part of congress to eliminate the lame duck. The Norris amendment, which would prevent a man sitting as a lawmaker after the voters have announced that they want no more of him, has repeatedly passed the senate. It should pass the house at the next session. Not one || valid reason can be cited in opposition to it. who live again in their children.”—J. D.

One dislikes to take the side of Soviet Russia in any argument, especially- one with a member of the presi- dent’s cabinet, but this case does give rise to wonder if the effect of the Russian activities on the grain market is not being gravely overestimated. It should be easy to ascertain, as long as a ‘fuss. is be- ing raised about it, just how extensive these dealings were. If it turns out that the Russian “sales” of wheat, which it didn't have for delivery, were no larger than the sales of a major grain broker, who likewise sells wheat without having it for delivery, Mr. Hyde's case is going to fall pretty flat. It is too early yet to make.a reasonable estimate of the situation but if it turns out that Mr. Hyde was emit- ting the well-known cry of “wolf, wolf,” and picking on the Russians because they happen to be in disrepute with ‘almost everyone, the effect will not be favorable from Mr, Hyde's standpoint. The farmers this country are not fools and if this furore turns out to be nothing more nor less than political propaganda, Mr. Hyde had etter seek for himself a sturdy storm shelter.
