THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, MONDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1980 THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE Ap independent Newspaper THE STATE'S OLDES] NEWSPAPER (Established 1878) by the Bismarck Tribune Company, bus- and entered at the postoffice «4 Bismarck Corn and Progress North Dakota's annual corn show opening Wednes- day in Bismarck is more than an exhibit exemplifying " agricultural progress in this part of the Northwest. It is more than an opportunity to learn the latest ad- vancements in the culture of this important grain; more than the occasion for the interchange of information and ideas. Standing out above all these is the fact that the Corn Show is a promise for the future prosperity of this state and a recognition of the fact that modern knowledge b sometimes is no more important than the wisdom of the ancients. ‘The corn show is only eight years old and most of us think of corn in North Dakota as an innovation of com- paratively recent years. Men still living can remember when the first white man turned from the planting of wheat to plant a few acres of corn in this region. They can remember the jibes and sneers and amused curiosity of the majority who thought this was a wheat country and never would be anything else. ‘This corn show, then, and all of the corn shows which have preceded it both at Bismarck for the entire state and in the various communities for local farmers are vindications of the knowledge and inspiration of those pioneers who first began the culture of corn in North There is no denying that these annual state corn shows are a measure of North Dakota's agricultural pro- gress and stability. The leisurely business of raising wheat exclusively has given way to the harder but more For years it has been preached as diversification. Actually, it might better be termed mod- ernization because the modern farm demands efficiency and all-year-round work just as much as any other business if it is to be successful. Corn has @aved the way for that. The man who raises corn can sell it on the market but usually it is better business to feed this grain on the premises. As a result, we see men who grow corn raising cattle and hogs and other kinds of livestock. They assure themselves of a steadier income, give themselves some- thing to do throughout the year and assure the continued fertility of their farms by using the manure which the livestock produces, Many farmers were raising corn before the corn show idea was inaugurated, it is true, but the manner in which corn acreage has increased in the last few years demon- strates conclusively that these exhibitions have done much to increase interest in this grain. The rank and file of farmers, once convinced that cofn is profitable, have swelled the annual plantings to more than a mil- lion North Dakota acres a year. The old bugaboo that this region was too far north to raise corn has been effectively buried by those who proved that it can be done by doing it, Each year the corn belt in North Dakota moves far- q would have laughed at the idea of raising corn 10 years ago, are going in for it on a small scale. The corn show ‘This instinct was activated further by the knowledge that the farmer who raised only small grain was battling a losing game. There its increased culture. : The competition between corn and wheat for farmer attention will be keener than ever this year. With corn selling for more than wheat and millions of bushels of ‘The success of the coming corn show will help to in- crease the trend in their minds. By getting a view of at the same time, promote the business stability and Prosperity of this area. Corn is not a cure-all but it is a step toward a sounder agriculture in North Dakota. The state corn show is the evangel of this movement. Beginning when interest was much less than it is now, it has fought @ battle for better farm conditions and @ higher return to the farmer for the money and work which he invests. It has been evangelism of the right type and its effects through the years will be even more far-reaching than i 4s now apparent. For this reason Bismarck and all of North Dakota sup- Ports the corn show movement. It has become a fixed Part of our agricultural program. And to the men who : have promoted it, organized it, fought for it and carried it to the high plane upon which it now stands, the state of North Dakota owes a debt of gratitude. ‘The best augur that the current corn show will be a success is the success of those which have preceded it. As the leading city of North Dakota’s best corn area, Mr. Diamond’s Career Jack “Legs” Diamond of New York seems to have ‘come to the turn in the road that waits in the path of every prominent gangster. Life in the underworld evi- dently follows a clearly defined path; years of struggle, @ brief period of mastery, an ever briefer time of dis- is ord and rivalry, and finally a fusillade from the guns Of the enemy. 3 Some such program seems to be the lot of gang leaders Caeey Averywhere—which mtight. provoke some cloistered philos- 4 4 opher to the conclusion that a life of crime does not pay. And perhaps, in the long run, considered judicially, it does not. But it is worth remembering that the under- world does not look at it that way. In the eyes of the underworld, crime does pay, and it pays exceedingly well; which is why there is such spirited, lethal com- Petition for the positions held by such men as Diamond. —__ , The Law’s Delay It came as something of a surprise the other day to read that the government had filed, in the District of Columbia court of appeals, a brief seeking to uphold the conviction of Albert B. Fall, who is still trying to escape the year’s imprisonment given him for taking a $100,000 bribe from E. L. Doheny. Offhand, one would have supposed that that case had been settled long ago. But since it has not, the whole business is worth looking into—not because of any burn- ing desire to see Fall behind the bars, but because the case illustrates so perfectly the delays of American crim- inal law. The offense complained of was first aired in the senate more than six years ago. During all of the time since then it has dragged along, through one court after an- other. In six years time our legal machinery has not yet been able to decide finally whether Fall is innocent or guilty. What a commentary on the snail-like pace that justice has taken in twentieth century America! An Ancient Art John R. Gregg, sponsor of a modern system of short- hand writing, says in a current issue of a popular maga- zine that the first shorthand was written by a young man named Tiro in the first century before Christ. Reviewing development of the idea further, he asserts that Julius Caesar was adept at the ancient form and that other Roman emperors knew a system. Contests were held and prizes were awarded for proficiency. And true to the Roman idea of what was what, shorthand operators were punished by the amputation of fingers on hand if they made mistakes in reporting speeches. Among more modern greats who knew something of & short-writing system were Benjamin Franklin, Charles Dickens and John Wesley. They, of course, were less severe with those who failed to dot their i’s or cross their t's. It is interesting and instructive, of course, but what Mr. Gregg doesn’t say, and what many a modern busi- nessman would like to know, is what those Roman em- Perors did with shorthand operators who got everything right but the spelling.- The Case of Mr. Diamond The excitement occasioned by the first news of .Mr. “Legs” Diamond’s shooting having subsided, there is something infinitely boring about the subsequent daily accounts of the efforts of the New York police to run to earth his assailants, What makes it all so boring is the way it follows the traditional pattern. The same old stereotype is being used, and most of us are overfamiliar with it. The Police are “baffled,” once more; suspicious characters are being picked up and released, a dozen different theories are being advanced, the victim refuses to tell who shot him—and so on, ad infinitum, just as in all other gang shootings. If the nation did not already know that its biggest cities are helpless before their underworlds this might be interesting, But that knowledge is all but universal, and the Diamond case offers nothing new on it.

With an entirely different feeling Americans will re- ceive the charge that they are wasteful, not only of money and property, but of genius and talent. Such a charge is made by Lorado Taft, famous sculptor, who declares: “In every community there appears now and then an unusual talent. As a rule these talent: carelessly wasted and a potential career of FE) Ayelet thwarted by lack of sympathy and under- standing.” Mr. Taft has named one kind of waste to which Ameri- cans will not confess so proudly. Indeed, to avoid precisely such a loss, they have built up an eguca- tional system which has laid upon them a tremendous burden in taxes. They have gone in for education en- thusiastically and extravagantly. But for all this unstinted devotion to the cause of education, results do not prove America entirely in- nocent of the Taft indictment. It rather points atten- tion to one grave defect in our educational method, In- stitutionalized, standardized, scale production of educations has created a machine which has small place for the “different” child. The assembly belts of fac- tories have inspired educational method. America has Prepared the dies and casts with which to turn out a uniform article but have not provided the equipment for individual effects. ‘The problem belongs to the educators primarily.

We are inclined to believe, however, that the average voter would like to see the issue of exclusion carried to the supreme court and to have determined, with judicial finality, the exact scope and nature of the senate’s Power. So far as we know, at-the present time, the senate’s power of exclusion is complete and arbitrary. Article I, Sction 4, of the constitution provides that “Each house shall be the judge of the elections, returns and qualifica- tions of its members,” and it was by this authority that the senate refused seats to Frank L. Smith of Illinois in 1928 and to William S, Vare of Pennsylvania in 1929. The senate’s power is the more complete and arbitrary because no federal legislation exists which governs the expenditures in primary elections. There are absolutely no legislative guideposts to indicate what primary expen- ditures are corrupt and improper and what primary ex- Penditures are reasonable and honest. On this’ point the Senate is the sole and final arbiter. It could thus refuse a seat to Mr. Smith whose primary expenses were $60,000 less than those of his opponent, W. B. McKinley. It could refuse to seat Mr. Vare, who spent $1.34 per vote cast to Pinchot's $1.80 and to Pepper's $3.70. And it apparently can be as brilliantly inconsistent and as virtuously militant as it likes over the 46 cents per vote spent by Mrs. McCormick in the April primaries, ‘We should not care to say, without full access to the facts, whether the McCormick expenditures were proper or improper. The character of these expenditures, quite as well as the amount of them, would have to be con- sidered by anyone interested in arriving at a fair and honest judgment. But infinitely more. Mrs. McCormick's primary outlay of 48 tents per vote, we should say, are the rumors of almost certain senate explusion now being circulated to defeat her candidacy. The tendency of the senate to become a closed corpora- tion, arbitrarily and high-handedly rejecting those duly representatives of the people it does not care to seat, is bad enough. But that the probability of rejection should be used, by the unscrupulous, as a pre-election club seems quite intolerable. Neither Mr. Smith nor Mr. Vare cared to take the issue of exclusion to the supreme court, Possibly Mrs. Mi may discover, if she does, that the senate’s assumed omnipotence is well qualified. Her appeal, at least, would put an end to much con- fusion, vagueness and uncertainty. It might be just as well to find out whether the constitution contempiated, as a great many senators apparently believe, a carte blanche system of rejections, oe is even proudly.
