Logaa, Baye Co, Formerly G. Logan Pay: ia CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON A National Thanksgiving Day Through the persistency of a woman, Mrs. Josephine Hale, Thanksgiving day became national in character. In Puritan times the day was one of thanks- giving for bountiful crops and deliverance from foes that beset the colonists. In that day and for many years after, the celebrations were mostly local in character and in Minnesota. New Yor’: and states were being waited until they times found that sportsman, The some moment on If the North Dakota law is changed to permit deer hunting it might be a good idea to incorporate the prin- ciple of “wait until you see his horns” in the new statute. the state game and fish department and we want no tragedies such as those which have marred the season Michigan used ‘have their hunting tragedies in large numbers also. The deer in those sadly depleted when laws were passed restricting hv~'-rs to shooting at buck deer only. The effect of the law was to increase the “umber of deer—and to reduce the number of hunters killed. The does were left to propagate and the hunters who saw the suppos~’ deer’s horns some- they were prepared to shoot a fellow Price of Lost Love i There are a good many things in this imperfect world that can make a man ill. Nothing, however, does it much more quickly or thoroughly than that strange, legat! phenomenon known in newspaper headlines as “heart balm,” and more formally called a damage suit for breach of prontise to marry. { These things pop up every so often, flash for a dark-| the newspaper front pages and then vanish—leaving, usually, some clever young woman sev-; eral thousands of dollars richer and some unwise man a) great deal wiser. Of-all the lawsuits that find their way | into our courts, these are the hardest to comprehend. An Ohio city recently furnished a typical example. A! young stenographer brought a wealthy citizen into court! ‘and demanded $100,000 of him. They had been engaged} to be married, she said, until his eyes and his thougits | Sarah | wandered to the daughter of a wealthy manufacturer. He, Jilted the stenographer and married the manufacturer's’ daughter, so the stenographer wanted justice, paid in) | coin of the realm. ‘The trial followed the usual pattern. The girl told! her heart-rending tale, and assured the jury that her/ cach community set aside a day of prayer as custom or, beart had been broken. Then the man had his day in| convenience dictated. There was no set day far a national expression of gratitude. court, and he announced to the world that the girl had just been a playmate and not a fiancee. Each side slung Mrs. Hale, who was born in New Hampshire in 1788; ® great deal of mud. Their lawyers, by turns, waxed and died in 1879 in Philadelphia, distinguished herself as a journalist and was probably one of the first femin- ists, although in her day that title had no such signifi- cance as it has today. She is pictured as being old- fashioned, a mother of five children and the editor of the Ladies’ Magazine. If she had lived in this generation, she doubtless would/ have run for congress, sponsored suffrage and accepted office, but in the times she lived, Mrs. Hale found plenty of public work at hand. She induced the women of New England to give $50,000 toward the erection of Bunker Hill monument and organized the Seaman's Aid society in Boston, but her name is especially linked to the move- ment which had for its object a national Thanksgiv- ing day. Through the journals which she edited came appeals for the naming of Thanksgiving day as 2 national holi- day. She followed them up with letters to members| of legislatures and governors and her persistency was finally rewarded in 1864 when President Lincoln adopted her plan and the fourth Thursday in November was set. aside as Thanksgiving day. It is fitting that a New England woman should con- ceive the idea of setting aside by law a day in which to voice a nation’s thanks for benefits received. Gratitude is one of the virtues too little practiced. Even in the! darkest days of a nation there are many things for which to be thankful. The spirit of the day can be carried into {he homes and personally applied. There are many sides. to Thanksgiving day. May its spirit permeate the home and through that potent force the nation. There is no holiday in all the calendar of national days thet has zuch a precious significance to the United States as Thanksgiving cay. Not So Far After All | At first glance it is a long way from the tariff on; straw and wool felt hats to bad blood between the gov- ernments of the United States and Italy, but investiga- sion of the hat market and the tariff situation shows tt is not so far after all. Five years ago dutiable imports from Italy totaled $55,000,000. Last year the total was $91,000,000. What the next report will show may depend largely on the action of the tariff commission with regard to duties on hats, for much of that increase in Italian imports %& due to the expansion of the hat trade between the land of Mussolini and this country. * To North Dako‘ans the subject is of acodemic °-‘er- est only, for the probability is that few Italian-made hats are sold in tnis state. Elsewhere, however, this is got the case and millions of foreign-made hats have been sold in the United States, at high prices in recent years. ‘Whether Italian hats are better than the homemade. frands is questionable but the fact remains that many Amrricans pre’ ~ them. Every pt" ‘ase of a foreign- qi made hats means one less hat for the home manu- facturer to sell—hence the increased tariff. Every time the American ~--nufacturer sells a hat to| someone who ~ ight ~therwise ha~- bought an Italian’ hat, it m--ns ~-duced profits for the **lian ha’ saker —hence the tremendous howl fr--- Italy over our new tariff barrier. The Italians are definitely peeved about it and feel: that we h-~e ~istreated them. They feel that we have inaugurated business’ war in a def‘ite and aggressive way. Our viewpoint is that we merely made a defen- sive move for the benefit of the American hat manu- facturer and b'- employes. Hence, we have a fundamental difference in view- points and it would not be surprising if we were to hear, before long, of some American’s hat being snatched and. stamped say in Leghorn, Italy, where hats bearing that name are made. A Little Explanation Money talks, according to an old saying, and in a great many cascs it talks with a very loud voice indeed. Which; is a large part of the explanation for the power and in-j solence of the Chicago gangs. Jack Guzik, an ally of Al Capone, was in the federal court in Chicago recently, taken there by federal prosecutors who accused him of cheating Uncle Sam of income taxes. Sworn testimony, buttressed by actual records, showed that this precious alley rat had enjoyed @ net income of no less than $1,044,000 during the three years 1927, 1928 and 1929! When a gangster can make money like that, ls 1t any wonder that the underworld is defiant and cocky? Is it any wonder that We hear tall stories of bribery and corruption? Is it any wonder that there are reports) that the power of the underworld reaches high in police departments, politics and the courts? » Good Sense—And Safer It was @ little discouraging to read during the Min- nesota deer hunting season of at least six deaths caused by the shooting of hunters. ‘It is the general rule for deer hunters to wear red caps, ‘@ some other easily seen article of apparel to serve as & warning to those who shoot first and think afterward. Despite this fact, however, the number of deaths 15) distressingly large. One would be just one too many. Sometimes one wonders whether the slaughter of hun- ters isn't almost as extensive as that of deer. \ It may be that tearful and eloquent. And then the jury, having delib- erated, awarded the girl $40,000 and everybody went home. exact justice was done in this case. ‘We know nothing whatever about it. But there is one fact in connection with lawsuits of this kind that is al- ways overlooked, although anyone who has ever loved— even a high school sophomore gripped by puppy love— is perfectly familiar with it; the simple, indisputable fact that a real heartbreak is not to be assuaged with money. Indeed, it is hardly going too far to say that when genuine love has been spurned the person who has been hurt would not dream of going to court to collect for tt. ‘The person who has really loved does not talk that kind of language. There are things in this world for which | money ts no remedy, and a broken heart is one of them. So much for the broken heart. And what of the girl who files such a suit? She generally gets her money, for juries are notoriously tender-hearted; but can it be worth it? The defense almost invariably tries to prove that she is lacking in character, and some of the mud it throws is bound to stick. How many girls would con- sider even a pile of gold worth that? Human nature being what it is, we shall probably con- tinue to have lawsuits of this kind from time to time. But they are rather unpleasant things to read about. General Summerall Retires Army posts throughout the nation will note with regret the retirement of recently said farewell to the army and will go on the re- tired list next March. ‘ He is a great soldier, a tireless worker and had the courage to voice his criticism of conditions which resulted in better housing for the army. The occupation of Fort Lincoln was in line with his policy of securing better quarters for the men. In leaving, he exhorted the army to maintain “the Proud. traditions of the profession of arms.” It has been the privilege of many in Bismarck to meet: General Summerall on his visits of inspection to the! local post. Those who met him were impressed with his high sense of duty and loyalty. The army is proud of the record made by General ‘Summerall and he has a host of friends in the north- west in both army and civilian circles. General Douglas MacArthur, his successor, has an General Charles P. Summerall, who excellent war record and is one of the great executives in the war department and it seems assured that the great work started by General Summerall will be car- ried on.

Train Dispatching by Radio [ lis Journal) Radio triumphed over the storm in North Dakota Friday, Until this year 1990, the snapping of telegraph and telephone wires has customarily meant the halting of trains. Railway traffic moves under the guidance of train dispatchers. Dispatchers must have means for getting orders to engineers. When the storm crippled the wires between Fargo and Jamestown, resourceful dispatchers hopped over the the break by enlisting the services of two radio stations, one in each city. That seems a little unusual now. not be so far off when train orders will be sent by radio directly into engine cabs. Indeed the time may soon come when a mi paper in front of his eyes, will keep each locomotive engineer continually informed as to his orders. Those of us who hesitate to believe in such miracles should recall that plenty of men now alive pooh-poohed the first telephone, the first phonograph, the first mo- tion picture device, the first wireless and the first air- plane. For One Idle, a Dozen Are at Work The department of commerce estimates that in Sep- tember thirty-four hundred thousand workers were seeking employment. ; This is an estimate only, as all these figures are, be- cause no system accurate figures. It includes ‘not only those who have no jobs, but those who, having jobs, have been laid off and are sure to be called back to work as business revives. This is bad enough, and the size of the figure should stimulate everybody who is cooperating in the fight against unemployment to redoubled determination. e other hand it is only too easy for this figure to leave too dismal an impression if we do not take into account the other side of the picture, which is much But on the more cheering. The department notes that more than forty-three mil- lion people are classified as gainfully employed. If thirty-four hundred thousand of these were out of work in September, that meant that nearly forty million of them were still at work. In short, for every worker idle in September, a dozen were still at work, still drawing pay, still meeting their obligations, still able to buy as usual. It is clear, thon, that though it is bad enough to have that idle, and especially bad for them, the slow- business recovery is due more to the fear that keeps the employed from spending than to the pro- portion of workers unemployed. For that proportion is ness of not yg pene s9 North Dakota will have an open season on deer next Deeded is not only to get the unemployed at What work, but to give But the time may pencil, writing on a sheet of (Duluth Herald) has be2n adopted that *will provide to curtail consumption very materially. the employed more confidence so that year if the legislature accepts the recommendatiors of] they will feel free to spend as they should spend. | .
