Logan Payne Co. CHICAGO NEW YORK poetical cnet ey ‘And a Little Child Shall Lead Them’ At Christmas time more than any other season we get glimpses of the promised land of the spirit for which all of us yearn. Shakespeare, feeling the magic touch of the yuletide, says of it “The nights are wholesome, then no planets strike, no fairy takes or witch hath power to charm, 60 hallowed and so gracious is the time.” ‘There is a touch of the religious in this saying of a distinctly secular dramatist; a recognition that Christ- mas is different from all other seasons. It is a time when man casts off the shell which he has drawn about himself and yields himself up to the pleasures of the heart and spirit. And just as the holiday is one which commemorates the birth of the Christ Child in a humble manger, 60 may the wisest man learn from the lips of today’s child- hood. In their play and at normal times children sometimes may seem possessed by imps and there is no child but has its faults, But here, again, at Christmas it is dif- ferent. Children, more than grownups, catch the true spirit of Christmas, Their souls and minds have not been hardened by rough battles with their fellows in the struggle for progress, sometimes for existence. ‘This is clearly illustrated by some of the letters which have come to The Tribune addressed to Santa Claus. Lenard E. Moffit of Dunn Center writes to tell Santa that he wants a box of paints and gives minute direc- tions how to reach the Moffit place. ‘Then he remembers the children down the road for whom, apparently, Christmas may not be so joyful, and he asks Santa to remember them, too, Just for emphasis he adds this: “If I am asking too much of you, leave out, my paints and give them something.” ‘There is a sermon for many of us in those few words. Staten Medaker, writing from Moffit, says: “For Christmas I would like for you to take all the poor and rich children at least a half-pound box of candy. I will not get much myself for Christmas but I am not sick. ‘We are a little poor and my Dad will soon be out of work but we get something to eat every day.” Is there a sermon there? A boy, 11 years old, living north of Bismarck, asks Santa to remember him and his smaller brothers and sisters, suggesting that the mail might be used to produce 2 few items from the mysterious budget of the holiday visitor. And then he adds: “But maybe you can’t get out to see us this year. If you can't, please remember all of the children in Bismarck.” ‘The will to dominate, to achieve, to battle against odds and win success is responsible for most of the world’s progress. But it also is responsible for some of our social evils and inequalities. If we are ever to reach the millennium of which Isaiah sings we will have to sit at the feet of children and catch, if we can, some of the fire from the divine spark which God has given them. And then “the wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.” A Bit of Propaganda The more one thinks about the wind-up of that great. Russian trial, the more plainly does one detect a fishy odor. The thing seemed too good to be true, right from the start; but the conclusion, with a kind-hearted gov- ernment saving the necks of a group of confessed trai- tors, caps the climax, On the surface, the whole business looks like an elab- orate bit of propaganda work, for home consumption. And it must be admitted that it was very well staged, from start to finish, There was the courtroom for a stage, with the radio carrying the drama to all parts of Russia. One after another, these five accused engineers got up and told how European statesmen, in league with an oil magnate: or two, were conspiring to overthrow the Russian gov- ernment, restore the old regime and plunder the land of its natural resources, Then, in conclusion, the verdict; guilty. And the sen- tence; death. And, as an afterthought, a government that has rarely shown mercy suddenly got lenient and commuted the death sentences to 10 years’ imprisonment. One is almost irresistibly impelled to the conclusion that this was nothing but a great bit of propaganda. However, there is no sense in getting too top-lofty about it. We might remember, while we laugh at the Russians for swallowing such a tale, that it is only a decade since the leading powers of Europe did engage in precisely such a conspiracy. The various “white Rus- sian” adventurers who led armies into Russia to over- throw the Bolsheviks were backed by such nations as England and France, whose statesmen now find the 1930 conspiracy story too laughable to need rebuttal. A good many Russians died in battle, and otherwise, less than 10 years ago, because an exact replica of the present story turned out to be true in every detail. Fs So the Russians are hardly to be blamed for being willing to believe such tales. We can set this last story down as a bit of propaganda, and we shall probably be right in doing so; but we ought not to forget that Rus- sla had good reason for believing in it,” For Confederate Veterans ‘The Veterans of Foreign Wars, drafting a legislative! Program to be submitted to congress this winter, includes @ resolution urging that hospitalization privileges in gov- ernment hospitals in the south be made free to Con- federate veterans. It is to be hoped that congre’* will adopt it. Disabled veterans of all wars can get free hospitaliza- tion in these institutions, with the single exception that Civil War veterans must be men who wore the bluc and: not the gray. But there are many aging Confederate and today they are honored and respected citizens of this country.” Adopting this resolution would be a fair and gracious act. Assuring the Judges Nobel prize to assuring the judges that while they might have done better in selecting someone else for the honor they could also have done much worse. His lengthy speech to the notables assembled at Stockholm was amus- ‘00| ing and had many of the flourishes of a Main Street orator. He flayed most of the dignified members of the Ameri- can Academy and commended all the literary extrem- ists, giving faint praise to some of the men in Ameri- can letters whose names we have been taught to con- jure with, In many instances, he apologized for what might be characterized America’s Victorian slant on literature. He deplored the lack of daring in the handling of dramat- little band of writers who have struck put along original lines in defiance of the standards of an Emerson or a Howell. The Europeans doubtless enjoyed Lewis’ satire upon his own country and his countrymen. They probably excused his rather bungling attack on Henry Van Dyke as an evidence of manners usually associated with Sin- clair's own idea of how a denizen of Main Street should act. In much that he said, he seemed, as it were, to recreate for Europe a strictly Main street type of literary criticism. His tirade was hardly in keeping with the honor bestowed. It will be hard for lovers of literature to understand why Lewis was selected at all except for the reason that the judges sought to reward a clever satirist rather than a great novelist. The award can hardly be explained on any other grounds. Mechanized Agriculture The agricultural department of the chamber of com- merce of the United States points out that one of the big factors in the scrambling of the farm situation is the steadily increasing mechanization of agriculture. More and more, such crops as cotton, wheat and corn are being produced with mechanical assistance, This calls for more room. Mass production tactics come into play—and the corn, cotton and wheat belts, in con- sequence, are slowly moving away from their old habitats! to new ones. Thus cotton is perceptibly moving to the west from the deep south. Wheat is heading for the wide open spaces, Even corn is shifting its base. Where this all will lead to is not quite clear. In the end, probably, it will make agriculture as a whole much stronger. But the period of transition is not very pleasant. ‘The courts occasionally lay difficult tasks on the shoul- ders of citizens; but surely one of the most difficult on record is the one which a New Jersey judge thought up recently for a chap named John Webster, who had a hen house in his backyard and whose roosters, crowing lustily at all hours, disturbed the rest of the neighbors. ‘This judge issued a restraining order, requiring John Webster to keep his roosters from crowing between 10 Pp. m. and 7:30 a. m.; and what we are wondering— along, probably, with Mr. Webster—is how on earth he is ever going to comply with it. Domestic fowls are contrary creatures, and this is especially true of the rooster. The rooster tends to crow when the spirit moves him, and the spirit moves him ac- cording to some incomprehensible secret known only to Mother Nature. Is a mere man to unravel the puzzle and compel the rooster to crow only at seemly hours? It is our hunch that that would be to attempt the im- possible. The Lame Ducks A leading writer reports from Washington that the famous lame duck amendment will probably be approved by congress this winter, but that it is not likely to be the Norris amendment that will pass. Instead it will be a sister amendment introduced in the house. It is almost identical with Senator Norris’ proposal; but the ruling Clique of the house does not want to see Senator Norris get the credit for putting through a law which public opinion almost unanimously approves. Fortunately, Senator Norris shows himself to be some- what more broadminded than his colleagues in the lower house.’ He has announced that he does not care whose amendment is passed; if the house will only pass some- body's lame duck amendment, he will do all he can to get it through the senate. This is a statesmanlike attitude. The important thing, as Senator Norris says, is that the lame duck evil be ended. Apparently that boon is at last to be conferred upon us. Let us be thankful. Sinclair Lewis, who is a@ satirist first and a novelist second, devoted most of his address in accepting the ic situations for the most part and commended that | Hettinger County’s Red Cross Chapter Meets at Regent Mott, N.

The picturization of the famous mu- sical success walks right away from the original stage production. It is Screened upon a lavish scale with a cast that would leave a Broadway pro- ducer breathless on Saturday night. With Bessie heading the cast, there are featured such players as Stanley Smith, Mary Lawlor, Gus Shy, Lola Lane, Dorothy McNulty, Billy Taft, Cliff (Ukulele Ike) Edwards, Frank McGlynn, and Tom Jackson. There is not a lagging moment, and every scene has its comedy climax, one particular “gag” bringing roars from the audience, in which a typical campus Ford decides to call it a day and fall apart at an extremely in- opportune time. PARAMOUNT THEATRE Although a melodrama of the vivid, romantic kind, “Bright Lights,” which comes tomoryow to the Paramount theatre, is packed with comedy dia- logue and action. A group of popular comic players support Dorothy Mackaill and Frank Fay, who are the leads in the First National and Vitaphone all-color mu- head of the Drake university journal-|sical film.

C., when Orville Wright, an American inventor, piloted the first power-driven heavier-than-air machine. The machine, -with pilot aboard, made four sustained free flights. The longest of these had a duration of 59 seconds and a speed of 30 miles an hour. Orville and his brother, Wilbur, were interested in aviation as bicycle mechanics in Dayton, O. They found in their experiments that existing scientific data of aeronautics was al- most all guesswork and began to make investigations of their own. The flight at Kitty Hawk was the result of their joint efforts. After this, their further experiments led to the development of an airplane which established a new record on Sept. 12, 1908, by remaining in the air one hour and 15 minutes. Following tests at Fort Myer, Va., the United States government accept- ed the Wright machine. Many hon- ors were bestowed on the two brothers during the numerous demonstrations they made in Europe during 1908 and 1909. The original Kitty Hawk machine is now exhibited in the science mu- seum at South Kensington, London.

The Gummer Case (Valley City Times-Record) ‘The pardon board yesterday at Bismarck heard a plea for pardon for William Gummer, convicted of the murder of Marie Wicks, of Grygla, Minn., some eight years ago. The attorneys seeking the pardon claim that they have discovered new evidence that will prove the innocence of Gummer. In an extended article sent out by the Associated Press today, one of the claims made in that article was to the effect that at the time of that trial intense feel- ing throughout the state made it impossible for Gum- mer to get a fair and impartial trial. It is propaganda of this sort in order to bolster up sentiment for convicted criminals that makes the average citizen good and tired. ‘The trial of Gummer was held in this city and the Times-Record covered that trial by special reporter every day of the trial, giving the evidence taken and without @ bit of coloring and not a single line appeared in the columns of this paper as to the guilt or innocence of the accused. The trial was orderly and no feeling evinced in any manner, and the defendant had every safeguard thrown about him for a fair and impartial trial. There ‘was not a particle of feeling shown toward the defendant that would operate against him in his trial—just an orderly, curlous crowd attending that trial. Naturally every person had an opinion as to the guilt or in- nocence of the accused, but the judge, jury and the prosecuting attorneys did not one thing that was pre- judicial to the defendant, and when that verdict was rendered a large majority of the people felt that justice had been done. Some thought differently. Now comes this appeal for pardon on the ground that some persons who were allowed to go should have been ted in the case. No matter if others were im- plicated that does not prove the innocence of the defend- ant. We are not here to say that Gummer’s plea should not be given due and fair consideration. If evidence has been found that will change the opinion of the pardon board, it is up to that board to dispose of the question which the judgment of the members believe to be cor- rect. The matter is now in their hands and we feel that their motives will be guided by fairness and justice. Per- sonally we thought Gummer guilty and it would take some very strong and absolutely conclusive evidence to get that idea out of our mind. It was one of the most] ~ brutal murders ever committed. Sending out propaganda that the defendant could not get a fair trial is absolutely false and unwarranted.
