® exclusively entitied to the ust Gispatches credited it or per and et origin published herein. Al of all other matter herein are a On Town Meeting Idea Invitations from the editor of The Tribune to its read- ers for expressions of opinion on public issues ts on the same line as the old town meeting. City governments have become so complicated and their ramifications so | sundry and diverse, that it is exceedingly hard sometimes | to hear the vox populi. Too often the voters are inertic- ulate except a few weeks: before election or when they pay their tax bills. That ordeal over, they lapse into ‘an indifference which at times is even hard for the city servants to bear. For the most part, public officials want expressions of opinions from the electorate. In the spirit that such suggestions are acceptable to them ‘The Tribune throws open its columns to a free, fair and temperate discussion of any topic of general interest touching on the public weal. ‘A more democratic participation in government would bring better government. Attendance at tax budget framing on the part of the taxpayers would bring about a better understanding. Interest shown by the city resi- dents when some major project is under consideration would help solution of such issues. But such participa- tion is hard of accomplishment. The town meeting is unwieldy in this day and generation, Our government is getting farther and farther away from the individual. ‘There is, however, a check on such a condition over which none of us has any control, and that is by a free discussion of live issues in the press. The Tribune will attempt to answer questions on national, state or city government which perplex its readers. It wants to render a real public service through these ,columns to the end of better government. Mr. Tavis has suggested a live issue which has two aspects, The state and the city are interested vitally in the solution of the street car problem. No one wishes service impaired and there is no politics, city or-state, back of the agitation, The whole ‘situation is one of civic betterment. Is it wise to continue the present sys- tem which impedes traffic on two of the principal streets or ould it better the transportation facilities to have @ bus Une operating to the state capitol and other points in the city? a No question can be decided without hearing from all sides. Mr. Tavis has called for such a free and unbiased discussion. ‘The Tribune hopes that, out of the discussion which will follow the Tavis letter, the perplexing strect car question will be settled to the best of all interests con- cerned. Here is a chance to make # town meeting out of The Tribune columns. : New Honors for Kellogg } Election of Former Secretary of State Kellogg to the + @orld Court honors a man long prominent in the legal || circles of the Northwest. He first came into national | |. promjnence as “Teddy”, Roosevelt’s.trust buster. A cor- poration attorney serving chiefly the steel trust and the railroads, his selection caused surprise and considerable, editorial comment at the time. ‘His association with the Roosevelt regime put Kellogg “out in front” in national politics. He served Minnesota | a8 national Republican committeeman and United States senator. When his friend Roosevelt: went “Bull Moose” and urged the recall of judicial decisions, Mr. Kellogg lar in his political alignments, however, and when the “Bull Moose” epidemic passed, he was found working for ‘the rehabilitation of the Republican. party in Minnesota. one of the strictest states in the unjon in regard to safe- ty measures, It has more than the average number ot safeguards. Its drivers’ license law is airtight and is carefully administered. But its death toll continues to go up. . Similar conditions, undoubtedly, will be found to pre- vail all over the union by the time the year ends, Our utter failure to deal with the tremendous ‘problem of the automobile is emphasized in bloody figures. How long will it be before the nation realizes that this is one of the very greatest issues of the day—one that demands measures more radical and restrictive than any that have yet been tried? Are They Using Poison Now? It is more than usually startling to learn that poison caused the death of State Senator John T. Joyce in’ Chi- cago—who died, you may remember, two days before he was to have testified concerning gangland activities at the polls in the spring primaries. Just at present the man in the street cannot quite tell whether this poison was self-administered or not; in .other words, whether Senator Joyce committed suicide or was murdered. If the latter proves the case, Chicago's gangs must be given credit for a new bit of ingenuity. Heretofore the revolver, the machine gun and the bomb have been their weapons. Are they, now, becoming poisoners as well? It is not reported whether American tourists were the judges, but connojsseurs have just decided that the world’s finest cocktail is the “Golden Dawn.” It is a mixture of gin, brandy and grenadine. London has made the decision. | Editorial Comment | A Northwestern Tribune (New York Times) To persons outside Minnesota the name of John Lind is associated with the difficult and hopeless mission to Mexico on which Woodrow Wilson dispatched him in 1913. But in his own state and throughout the north- west Mr. Lind was known and respected as one of the leading citizens. Most of the Scandinavian immigrants to Minnesota, Wisconsin and the Dakotas affiliated with the Republican party, but Minnesota furnished two notable exceptions in Mr, Lind and the late John A. Johnson. Both were Democratic governors; Mr. Lind was the first Democrat so to serve. He was tall, spare and silent, revealing the latter quality most strikingly when repeated efforts were made to learn what was his exact errand to Mexico and what his discoveries had been. No man ever accepted and held a confidence more’ closely. President Wilson, not having been satisfactory and sought to reward him with the diplomatic mission to Norway. This, as many other public honors, he declined, preferring to live and work among the people of his own state. In the fields of popular education and legal reform he made notable contributions, and much of the progressive law by which the state leased its resources is traced to him. With Knute Nelson and Governor Johnson, Mr. Lind formed a trio—one Republican and two Democrats— more beloved by their home people than any other citi- zens of the state have been. He was noted for per- sonal courage; there is an old tale of how he waited until a campaign was over to thrash a public detractor. He refused to take immediate action, believing that his sincerity would be put in question. Election the Best Whip (Dickinson Press) An ouster move started last week in Foster county against three members; of that county’s board of com- missioners, the third Sich case in the state in the past few months, discloses again the fact that taxpayers are taking more interest in the conduct of their counties’ business than ever before and becoming less slow to make use of their lawful power of removal where any ir- regularities are found, even if such irregularities are not tion on that score. In the case of Foster county, six charges are made cov- ering misconduct and malfeasance in office and Gov- ernor Shafer has ordered a hearing that these charges might be investigated and, if supported, the three com- missioners, so charged with violations of trust, be ousted. Two of those against whom the charges are made are candidates for reelection this fall while the term of the third man, under the Foster county taxpayers’ indict- ment, expires in 1932, It seems a peculiar failing of North Dakota county boards to become autocratic and overstep, in frequent ments of power. Perhaps the very nature of their duties causes this, but the peculiar part of this excuse is that these showings of autocracy are too often at the cost of considerable of the taxpayers’ money and to the di- rect or indirect gain of board members or their friends, sometimes in an apparent direct financial way and some-. times more round-about through politics. Any way, each case of this kind that comes up im- Presses more upon the voters the necessity for careful selection; in their elections, gf county board members and should certainly result in the weeding out this fall of those candidates for reelection who have by auto- cratic actions shown that they consider the spending of county funds their own particular business rather than the business of the taxpayers. Thus the election becomes a whip to hold these boards to the taxpayers’ interests rather than to individual likes or dislikes in county business. . Seeing the example of several other counties, Stark county voters will probably\ say, Nov. 4th, “What's the use in running to the governor with our troubles?” and act accordingly. | The agrarian agitation which placed Magnus Johnson ‘and Shipstead in the senate retired Kellogg from active politics in Minnesota, but his ability had won such recog- nition in Washington that he was'sent to the court of St. James end then recalled to a cabinet position. ‘The rise of the obscure Rochester, Minn., lawyer, through various positions of trust to a place on the World » Bratifies a host of friends through the Northwest. have come into intimate contact with him in many and legal contest. name is attached to the great world anti-war pact § may win for him the Nobel peace prize, He will A Bank Bandit Talks E (Aberdeen, S, D., American) Jim Klein (if that’s his real name) never spoke truer words than when he said, “Crime doesn’t pay.

Two years later he was invited by President Adams to be- come his secretary of war, but de- clined. He accepted, however, the position of secretary of state, which he held for a short time.

His accession to the bench marks not only a turning point in his life but also in the legal and constitutional history of the United States.

I'd I'd like to let my father know about it. He's a lawyer, in Tulsa. I feel that he ought to know about it “You're not a minor, are you?” “No, I'm 21.” “So I understood. . . . Well, do what you think best.” And he smiled. “No harm in consulting your lawyer—especially if he hap- Bens to be your father, too.” Mr. Johnson arose. “However, those are our terms, Miss Winter. We wouldn't feel like changing them.” And he escorted her to the door, @hook hands with her. The contract, Mr. Johnson had explained, was for three years. In her sudden bewilderment and in- decision Anne wanted someone to talk to, and she turned to Dan Rorimer. She sought # telephone. “T want to talk with you, Dan,” she told him when he answered. “Can I see you this evening?” “T'll say you can! How about having dinner with, me?” And he added, anxiously: “Nothing's wrong, I hope?” “No, I just want some advice.” “I'll pick you up at the studio, then. Give me a ring when you're ready.” And later, sitting beside him in the roadster, with a grateful breeze fanning her hot cheeks, Anne told him what ‘had happened. “I wanted to see you about it.” “That's great, Anne! Great! You don’t know how glad Iam. I told I as movie salaries go. Maybe you'd better not rush at it.” KG “That's bne reason I wanted to talk. to you.

He generally tries to write his colimn before dinner, so he can have the evenings free.” Paul was in, banging on his type writer. “Company!” Dan an- nounced, ushering Anne in. “Paul, you can get busy with the shaker and entertain the beautiful young lady while the master of the house dons fresh raiment. And you can call up Johiiny Riddle and tell him to meet us here at eight o'clock or thereabouts.” “What's coming off?” Collier wanted to know. “Can't you think up anything else for me to do?” “Anne'll tell you all about it,” Dan called from his room. Some minutes later he joined Anne and Collier in the kitchen, He had slipped into a freshly- pressed light suit, and Paul, look- ing him over, said, “Johnny’s com- ing.

You know what I mean? If Eva had come from War saw or Berlin or some place, in- stead of New Orleans, some of these producers would be jumping all over themselves to give her a Job.” “A foreign accent wouldn't help a whole lot in talking pictures,” Collier reminded him, and Dan smiled ruefully. “That's true, too. I gness I'm all wet, as usual. Only, Eva just —just misses, somehow. When you look at her you sort of expect ber _ Or by ERNEST LYNN to be something else than she ts. But I still think if she had @ for- eign label on her she'd do better.” “She might try it,” Collier said, “but it wouldn’t be anything new. Everything’s been tried in Holly- wood.” A’? he began a story about a necessary for her to go to a hos- pital for an operation, and while there she decided that she would emerge from the hospital with a new name and @ new personality. “So when she came out of the ether she was Sonia or Olga some thing-or-other—I forget the actual name now. She put on a swell Rus- sian accent, and she got by; com- pletely fooled one producer, and he gave her plenty of work. But the Producer went broke, and then she fell in love with some guy and went back to New York. I guess Holly- wood’s lost track of her now.” Eva Harley, Paul added, might try that, be pretty hard to put over now.” They went to dinner then, and shortly after they returned to the apartment Johnny Riddle came in. “Hi, folks,” he greeted. “What's all the shootin’ for?” “I'l tell you,” said Dan, .who was at the telephone, “as soon as I put in this long distance call to Tulsa. . . ..
