CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON The Fight for Support No more convincing evidence of the power which the pusiness leaders of the nation attach to honest editorial declaration can be obtained than now is evident in the three-cornered battle between the railroads, the motor lines and the inland waterways for the support of the press. Swift perusal of the mail delivered to an editor's desk almost any day proves the point beyond dispute, Here is a long declaration by the Association of rail- way executives who are seeking, in a hearing before the Interstate Commerce commission at Washington, to have motor busses brought under the same restrictions which the railroads must obey. It is charged that bus and truck lines are indulging in the rebates and discriminations which caused a cry to ge up in the country many years ago and brought the I. C. C. into being. Included in the argument is the claim that the railroads are being taxed heavily while the bus lines escape with much less than their fair share. ‘Another appeal by the rail carriers attacks the water- sways, pointing out that they are improved with tax money and that, while water rates are sometimes lower, they really cost the public much more than the railroads when the tax money spent is added to the bill. From one of he leading bus lines, which is amply fi- nanced and which spreads a giant network across the country, comes the statement that “common carrier mo- tor busses are extensively regulated and as a group pay Jarger taxes than any other public utility.” A thousand words of argument and alleged fact back up the declaration. From the waterways advocates comes a statement short enough to be printed in full. Under the heading of “No Conflict,” it says: “There should be no conflict between the executives operating the railroads and those operating transporta- tion lines on the inland waterways. “Both are engaged in the work of rendering the great- est possible service to the greatest possible number of people and each is and will continue to be the comple- ment of the other. “The successful operations on the inland waterways will bring a large increase in population, payrolls and in- dustries to the middle west and this in time will mean more tonnage to the carriers and an increase of fast freight will go to the railroads while the waterway lines will handle bulk raw materials and freight moving with Tess speed. “When the navigable inland streams are put into gen- eral use, as is now contemplated, the radical industrial change in river-served sections will show such additions in tonnage that the business of the railroads will be ma- terially increased, notwithstanding the tonnage carried by water transportation lines. “To bring industry to agriculture will be the effect of water transportation and with this will come a proper readjustment of economic conditions, the relief of the congested situation along the coast and the proper equal- ization and distribution of the nation’s population. “The prosperity and development of the middle west is bound up in the problem of cheaper freight rates for slow-moving commodities which cannot be accomplished by the railroads but must be handled by water routes and| without water transportation this prosperity and develop- ment is a practical impossibility.” ‘The editors read, ponder and wait. Only a few have. taken any definite stand for or against the projects and sims of the three classes of transportation. Perhaps, when an unchallenged set of facts and figures is pre- sented, the newspapers of the nation will speak, each in line with the interests of its section. Until then, such documents and bits of information as now flood the mails will serve little useful purpose. The Men of Tomorrow The small boy, for all that we see so much of him, is usually a mystery. We talk a great deal about him; we have traditions that begin, “small boys like—” and “small boys always want—,” but half of the time we are Wrong, and we seldom take any pains to set ourselves right. ‘The Boys’ Club Federation of America recently set out to get the right slant on boyhood’s ideals, boyhood’s games and boyhood’s habits. It questioned a great many thousand boys, scattered through more than 125 cities in all parts of the country; and it learned some interesting things. To begin with, baseball is not quite as popular among city boys as it used to be. This is not because of any defect in the game itself. It is simply that the growth of cities has left fewer and fewer places where boys can play ball. Besides, the equipment is expensive. In cities where boys’ clubs or other organizations have provided athletic fields, baseball is as popular as ever. But in most cities the supply of playgrounds is woefully Inadequate; and in such cases the lads play “soft ball,” because less equipment and a smaller field are involved. Boyhood’s ambitions for the future are slowly chang- ing, too. Years ago the average city youngster wanted to become @ policeman or a fireman, 80 that he could) 26% wear a bright new uniform. Now the average youngster aspires to become an aviator. In the football season he 4s apt to think that he would like to follow in Knute Rockne’s footeteps, and in the summer he may yearn to Lindbergh is still the American boy’s favorite hero, habits seem to have changed for the Today’s boy reads boys’ magazines. It is interesting t0| w. Jones, in which the senator from Dunn seeks to note that he still reads the Alger books. Mark Twain’s| explain his vote on the redistricting bill. The attempt tales are we received it only Wednesday, to print same this week. It will old yellowback thriller is still read, but it|, as it was @ generation eg0.! we are in receipt of a communication from in games and day-dreams. The most we can do is see to it that the influences which guide their choice in these matters are wholesome. And by studying what they are playing and what they are dreaming gbout we can tell whether we are succeeding. It is a good thing for us to check up on the matter occasionally; for the day dreams and games of today’s boyhood will be re- fected in the actions of the adult world tomorrw. May the Best Team Win Preceding the influx of basketball enthusiasts from all parts of the state for the annual school tournament March 27 and 28, comes the annual contest between Bis- marck and Mandan for the regional championship and the right to represent this part of the Missouri Slope area in the state competition. This important game will be played Saturday night at the state training school gymnasium in Mandan and the interest in it will be as keen as the interest in any con- test played here—or to be played here—this year. Even were the outcome a foregone conclusion and cer- tain to result in victory for an obviously superior team, the natural friendly rivalry which exists between the cap- ital city and its smaller neighbor. would insure a near capacity house. But the manner in which this contest will end is very much in doubt. One team has just as good a chance as the other and each team will fight as two good teams in similar situations always fight; hard and clean and to the end. And when it is over, regardless of the outcome, there should be only @ closer kinship, a higher mutual regard between the residents and players of the two communi-| j ties. The team which wins, be it Bismarck or Mandan, should have the united support of the sports-loving folk of this area when it carries the banner of this section of the Missouri Slope country into the state competition. Jim Thorpe—Ditch Digger Somehow you can’t help admiring Jim Thorpe. Once the greatest athlete in’ the world, Jim was dis- covered the other day out-in.Los Angeles, a common la- borer, swinging a pick and shovel in a ditch. In football, baseball, and track and field sports, none was greater than Thorpe in his day. Money came easy after he turned his talents to professional sport. But the money dwindled away. Many men of the world of sports, when their hey-day of quick, easy money passes, continue to seek money in some sort of cheap racket or near-racket, rather than work. The habit of easy-come, easy-go is too hard to break. They never amount to anything after that one brief moment of sporting triumph. They have forgotten, or have never learned, how to work. But not Jim Thorpe. When need came, Jim rolled up his sleeves and took a pick in his hand. And he’s been supporting a wife and two fine kids on his earnings. He doesn't earn much, but it’s honest money. Many oppor- tunities must have come to Thorpe to get money in devious ways, trading the last rags of his great name to some cheap racketeer, bootlegger, or flim-flam promoter. But Jim digs with his hands instead. A man who can do that must have stuff in him. Jim | Thorpe deserves a break, Those Aches in the Head If scientists are right in their deductions that head- aches are a sign of brains there is reason to rejoice ‘among those who do not belong to the intelligentsia. In- vestigators into this ailment at the research hospital of the University of Illinois aye reaching the opinion that disease is peculiar to the more intellectual. These scien- | tists, however, are suggesting that most cases of headache can be remedied by a simple regulation of the method of living. At the same time, these experts say that those who are subject to pains in the head are descended from an intel- lectual faction. For this disease is hereditary. Another theory which has been advanced by many states is that those who are tall are descended from king- ly lines, for the tall and strong held the high places of government in olden times. People who go to great length to prove the superiority of their ancestry have always been a pain in the neck. Now they shall probably become an ache in the head. Editorial Comment Editorials printed by other editors. T! to whether they aj below show the trend of thought hey are pi ublished without regard sree or disagree with The Trib- ‘une’s policies, So Touchy! (Grand Forks Herald) The Jamestown Sun is wrought up to a high state of indignation over what it: conceives to be the attempt] of The Fargo Forum to dictate the policy of the rest of the newspapers of the state. The sum of the Forum's offending seems to be that it published an editorial ad- vising that the promoters of the movement for the removal of the state capital from Bismarck to Jamestown withdraw the petitions which they. have filed asking that @ proposed constitutional amendment providing for the removal. be withdrawn; and that copies of this edi- torial were sent to many other state papers with the request. that copies of any comment which they might make on the subject*be sent to the Forum, ‘That seems quite harmless, In fact, it is a very com- mon custom. There is probably newspaper editorial matter on this or the other subject, with the invitation to use or comment as it may desire and to forward copies of any comment made. We have never regarded such communications as dictatorial or insulting. One's type- writer is his own, also his wastebasket, and either may be used at pleasure. As to the advice offered the Jamestown committee by the Forum, it is the same advice that was offered by the Herald imntediately following the -passage of the capital construction bill. The Herald considered the filing of the removal petitions by the Jamestown committee a mistake, and said so at the time. Everyone who. gave a serious thought: to the subject knew that those petitions did not represent any considerable public sentiment. Signatures were obtained in the manner quite customary in such cases from persons who had never heard of the subject before and who signed merely because a pleasant solici- tor asked them to do so. The action of the legislature in passing the capital construction bill by an overwhelm~- ing vote was undoubtedly a reflection of the sentiment of the state in favor of leaving the capital undisturbed. The Jamestown committee, if it persists, can force a vote on the question next year. In the meantime work on @ new building may be well under way. The commit- tee, if it wishes to put forth sufficient effort and spend sufficient money, can undoubtedly secure enough signa- tures to a referendum petition against the construction bill, the effect of which would be to suspend operations pending vote. Spokesmen of the committee have threatened to delay action by means of legal proceed- , may be possible. But when it is all done, Many readers send in questions signed only with initials, asking that the answers appear in the newspaper. The space is limited and would not accommodate a fraction of such re- quests. The answers published are ones that may interest many renders, rather than the one who asks the question only. All questions should be accompanied by the writer’s name and address and two cents in coin or stamps for reply. Send your question to the Bismarck Tribune Information Bureau. Frederic J.

After studying medicine for a while Tosen decided to devote himself en- tirely to literature. His first play was @ failure but, after two years of journalism, he became director of Ole Bull’s theater at Bergen, for which he wrote five romantic dramas. Success came to Ibsen at the of 29 when he wrote the dramas “The Warriors in Helgeland” and “The Pretendess” while serving as director of the national theater in Christiana. In 1862 the theater became bankrupt and Ibsen, enraged because Norway held aloof from the Danes in their struggle against the Germans, for- “A Doll's House,” “Ghosts,” “Hedda Gabler” and “The Wild Duck.” His social dramas mark @ new epoch in the development of dramatic art. et 4 BARBS >}.
