Beyond the Sunset The last obituaries have all been written, now, and the last funeral orations and telegraphed tributes have been’ read and digested. But the race that Thomas Edison served will remember for a long, long time— for as long, perhaps, as it remembers Edison himself—that final, surprising little remark that came from his deathbed: “It is very beautiful over there.” ‘Will there ever be a bicgraphy ot the man that does not contain that quotation?

The hope exists, not pecause D'Andrea is in jail, for the denizens of the underworld have been} there before. It exists because of D'Andrea’s de-| meanor in the courtroom of Federal Judge James H. Wilkerson Tuesday when he appeared for hearing on a contempt of court charge. D'Andrea, it will be remembered, is the man who was arrested for carrying a gun into the court room during Capone's income tax trial. In the last few years in Chicago there has been a great deal of “fix- ing” in the courts. Just where and how it has been done is difficult to prove, but that there has been collu-} sion between the gangs and men in high places cannot be doubted. Al few trails have been uncovered which, had they been pursued vigorously,| might have led to some individuals whose identity would shock and sur- prise the nation. As a result, many gangsters have gone free. i But D'Andrea, facing a judge of; demonstrated integrity, threw him- self on the mercy of the court. There can be no doubt that, in this’ case, it was good policy to do so, for D'Andrea would have been convicted anyhow. But if the man “takes the rap” for carrying a gun, he will be the first gangster who has done so in} Chicago for quite a while. And his actions are a confession of his in- ability to do anything other than ac- cept the penalty which society metes out to those who break its laws. The general of Chicago's under- world forces sits in a jail cell. When he will go to prison remains uncer- tain because of the technicalities of law, but that he will get there even- tually seems certain. His days of glory have passed. The “big shot” no longer rumbles with the same au- thority as of old. His henchman and trusted friend throws himself upon the mercy of the court; asks forgiveness from the gov- ernment and the society which he has wronged. The minions of the Capone crew tremble lest the hand of an outraged public may next be directed squarely against them. Yes, it looks like the retreat from Chicago has begun. Now Is the Time Not in a long time have Bismarck football fans been so shocked by the outcome of an athletic contest as by the result of the football game Fri- day night at Jamestown. Among followers of the local squad numerous expressions of chagrin have been heard and speculation as to the cause of the upset is common. These postmortems are interesting, but they cannot be important. The thing is over and done with. The result has been marked up and noth- ing can change it now. ‘What is important is the attitude which is taken now by followers of the team in Bismarck, Now, if ever, is the time when the boys on the squad need to feel that they have the united support of Bismarck sportsmen. They have two important games left to play and the outcome of those, rather than the result of the Jamestown game, will play an important part in the success or fail- ure of the present season. After all, high school teams are com- posed of boys, subject to the ups and downs and the bursts cf tempera- ment which are the heritage of every boy. It is up to the adult fans to buck them up and to demonstrate that Bismarck can support its ath- letic teams through the bad breaks s well as the good ones. The season to date has been emi- nently successful. By winning three games in eight days against power- ; mankind in general is content to ge: | made. not look at it that way. The world, after all, is not so idyllic a place that in death only the stopping of a worn- out machine. We have not yet out- grown the desire to pass beyond the sunset. Edison, at the point of death, looked into the sky and saw som’- thing beautiful; must we assume that fever was playing tricks with his brain—that brain which was never tricked before? We can take it as we wish. These to whom disbelief is precious will look at it in one way, and those who fecl otherwise will look at it in an- other, Only one thing is certain. 1t will be remembered for centuries. For that, when you come down to it, is the way the human heart is It questions, doubts and re- jJects—and then, at the last, clutches at a chance to believe. Edison, the solver of mysteries, the worker of miracles, dropped at his death a re- mark to focus the att&ntiom of his fellows on the greatest and oldest mystery of all. And he himself, now, has solved it. Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors. They are published without regal to whether they agree or disagree with The Tribune's policies. Tax Delinquencies (New York Times) Municipal bond buyers are reported to be in an inquiring mood. They are not content with the usual perfunc- tory information about a city’s fi- nances or credit. They want to get at the facts on which that credit must ultimately rest. The recent sale by the state of New York of $40.- 000,000 worth of one-to-fifty-year bonds at a net interest rate of less than 3% per cent, while a recogni- tion of this state’s high credit rating, is in sharp contrast to the diffident demand for the offerings of other states, counties, cities and towns. These to whom they are offered now- adays want to be “shown.” Munici- pal officers, says the editor of The Bond Buyer in an article in The American City for October, “are Probably surprised at the exhaustive inquiries being made these days by bond buyers with respect to budgets, tax delinquencies, condition of sink- ing funds, é&c.” They appear to be particularly concerned over the ex- tent to which tax delinquency has in-| creased lately over normal years, To meet just such queries Con-/ troller Berry issued last week a sum-| mary of elty finances entitled “What| Investors in Municipal Securities! Should Know About the City of New) York.” It reveals that while the ra-! tio of uncollected real estate taxes increased from 11 per cent at the! close of 1927 to 14 per cent at the close of 10930, these arrears are for the most part quickly liquidated.) Less than 1 per cent of the 1927 levy! and less than 5 per cent of the 1930/ levy remained uncollected on Sept.| 15, 1931, The ratios are only slightly, greater if the personal tax is in-; cluded. Since 1905 an appropriation has been made every year to cover; all “known and estimated uncollect- ables.” The amount thus set aside last year was $4,750,000, which has been increased by $1,000,000 in the tentative figures for 1932, The tax) gatherer is nowhere popular these days. He will be still less popular if, the taxpayer fails to get substantial relief from the burden of mounting; charges. But New York is still far from Chicago's plight, and Contro!-| ler Berry is able to point proudly to: the “exceptional condition” of the city finances in this respect. | Milnor Man Enters International Show; Chicago, Oct. 28.—(#)— Calvin) Johnson of Milnor, Sargent county, | is the first entrant from North Da-! kota in the 1931 international grain and hay show, to be held here in! connection with the international) livestock exposition Nov. tc) Dec. 5. | Johnson will exhibit a 10-ear sam- ple of yellow dent corn in this world’s largest competitive grain show, en- tries for which close of Nov. 10.

Bowen's vicious glances presently had their effect or the young man tired of waiting, for soon, choosing e when the fuming Bowen was glaring into the depths of a cigar counter, he opened the door of the booth and slipped out. Bowen caught only a frightened glance as the boy hurried out. A fat woman who had just come in oozed into the booth, and the re- porter gave her a dirty look and set out to find another drug store. Outside he looked about. The boy who had been in the booth stood in the shelter of the doorway, now and then peering furtively out. Just then Bowen's eye fell on Mary ‘Iarkness standing on the op- Dosite corner, looking anxiously @bout. Bowen stared apprecia- tively. What a prite subject she would be for the photographers if it turned out that she WAS what he feared she was—a smart little gold-digger too smart to look the part.

The car shot past almost in the same instant, swerving deliberately to- ward Harkness, who stumbled and fell backward, striking the pave- ment at Bowen's feet.

The boy tried to regain hie feet and was rocking drunkenly on his hands and feet. Bowen looked down and saw him slump to the ground and go limp. There was an instant hue-and ery. A’ policeman came running— there was no traffic officer on the corner—and someone comman- deered a passing cab and took after the vanished car. .. “Hit-and-run he says won't make any sense.” “He mustn't die, without telling me—" she insisted. Again the lips moved, the boy's body arched on the stretcher. “Make him give me my coat!” His voice died away weakly. Mary looked at Bowen, but there was only pity in his eyes. “He doesn't know what he's say- ing,” he told her gently, Mary's eyes filled and she clutched him frantically. “Ob, Eddie-boy, dear, don’t die!” ‘The attendant picked her up and Bowen drew her to the seat beside him.
