Coxey comes to Bismarck with a plan for the nation to lift itself by its boostraps to a new plane of prosperity. Like every other reformer he paints ® beautiful picture of the ends to be achieved and, unlike some others, he outlines his ideas as to the road we may take to this promised land. If the highway were one which never had been trod before, a good many people might be tempted to ex- plore it and see whence it led. In ‘view of past human experience, how- ever, many folk will look upon it with suspicion. They will refuse to be- Neve that anything so vast as the welfare of this nation could be built upon the foundation which Coxey outlines. Perhaps, if human nature were not ‘what it is, if we as individuals and as @ nation were not subject to the ‘weaknesses we have, the Coxey plan would work beautifully. But, on the other hand, if we were different our Problems also would be changed, so Coxey and his plan will have to deal with America as it is, not as he might wish it to be. Coxey’s scheme is to tune up the presses which print paper money to @ mass-production basis. Dollars would be so cheap that everyone would have them—but he overlooks - 1 i ‘ ‘ CHICAGO the fact that it would do them little good. The dollars wouldn't buy! much, The last great experiment at infla- tion on this basis was tried in Ger- many and conditions there got to the point where it took literally millions}ommend it than the roseate dreams of marks to buy a loaf of bread. There was plenty of money, such as it was, but possession of that kind of money didn’t mean much. It seems evident now that, if we fre to make progress as a nation, bus- iness must lead the way. It is un- wise to impose upon it any more handicaps than it already has. The creation of a money which has one standard of value today and another tomorrow, as Coxey suggests, is like a mirage in the desert. It looks good from @ distance but it would fail to bring realization of the fond hopes it would engender, The Hat in the Ring Al Smith's brown derby plumped into the Democratic political ring Sunday and thereby threw the party managers into confusion, although they had been given every reason to expect such action on the part of the New York man. Political commentators agreed there was little possibility of Smith winning the nomination because of the manifest handicaps which would be imposed upon his candidacy at a convention in which a two-thirds wote is necessary to nominate. The effect of the announcement upon the aspirations of Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York ‘will be important but hardly as much So as upon the Democratic party as a whole. It offers the Jeffersonians oppor- 4unity to fall back into an evil habit which dominated them for years and which they can ill afford to resume now. In the long period between Cleveland's last administration and the advent of Woodrow Wilson, the Democrats spent 16 years under the rule of William Jennings Bryan. On three different occasions he won the Presidential nomination for himself and at @ fourth convention he dic- tated the nominee. He was an im- portant factor in the Wilson election. Smith’s action now may mark him @ictate who shall have it. The result ‘It seems to be @ misfortune of the [Democrats that their strong men sre|tional resources of. the aspirants for public of- In contrast to this, the Repub- have, in the main, managed to $7.20 1.20 6c | portunity in more than a decade, the background, thereby eliminating some of the clash of personality which al- ways threatens the stability of po- litical groups. During the recent Republican hey- day, Boles Penrose was quite as much ® Republican boss as Bryan was a Democratic boss, never @ candidate for the presidency ‘and Bryan was a perennial candidate. Therein Jay considerable difference when it came to maintaining party harmony. In this year of all years, when the | Democrats would like so much to win jand in which they have the best op- leadership complication prove embarrassing. Perhaps one reason the Democrats have been the minority party in the nation for so long is their inability to harmonize differences between party leaders. It seems they would not really be Democrats if they were able to do so, is Hable to Savages A resident of Bismarck who has visited in Japan and has had oppor- tunity to study the Nipponese at first hand brands them as “savages” not because of what they have done and are doing in China, but because he insists they are just that and always have been. His estimate of the national Jap- anese character is not one to give the average hard-headed American any comfort when he sees war clouds looming and considers the possibility of this nation becoming involved. It should give pause to those naive souls who believe the way to end war is for this nation to disarm, even though all other nations are armed to the teeth. Here is this man's estimate of the Japanese: “They are tricky and essentially dishonest. Great imitators, they lack the kind of brains which create in- ventions and add to the progress of the world. They are vain and aggres- sive, fanatical and selfish. Essen- tially they are savages and their na- ture is such that they always will be savages When we match this up with re- Ports from Shanghai in which an American observer tells of seeing a Japanese marine bayonet a helpless Chinese man in cold blood, not once but many times, it gives us food for thought and for a long and anxious look into the future. eee If the comments of Bismarck folk @re an accurate guide, this nation’s representatives at the disarmament conference would do well to think long and carefully before they accept the short end of the international | stick as they have done at every other such meeting since the war. | A good many persons seem in no mood to yield further to the impor- tunities of other nations that we play Santa Claus. Events in the Far East have forced them to take a hard- headed view of the world situation. They are beginning to feel that the old theory of “In time of peace pre- Pare for war” may have more to rec- of those who would promote peace by disarming the United States—and| thereby making this nation the great- est prize for which an armed aggres- sor ever contended.

Taxing Entertainment (Devil's Lake Journal) Opposition to the proposed 10 per cent tax on theater admissions was expressed by numerous witnesses be- fore the ways and means committee of the house of representatives which 4s holding hearings preparatory to drafting a revenue bill. It was the opinion of those who opposed admission taxes that a tax would greatly injure the moving pic- ture industry and that a 10 per cent tax would close many motion picture theaters, thus causing irreparable loss to investors, increasing unemploy- ment and eliminating sources of wholesome entertainment _—_ which, during the industrial crisis, is so es- sential to sustain morale and check discontent among the people. Due to the constant change in the facilities for showing pictures, large investments are always required. The small-town theater, it was declared, has been forced recently to put in new equipment to compete with the larger city theaters and a higher ad- mission charge would drive away more patrons, the number of which has already been reduced as much as 40 per cent in some places during the past 18 months. M. A. Lightman, of Memphis, T! who spoke for the Motion Picture ‘Theater Owners of America, pointed out the educational features of the motion picture houses and declared that they brought to the people and but Penrose was} Pee aa Officer Moves Up tot to you “scat”? I mean can you do the new negroid yodels, such as “hey-de-hey . . . and ho-de-ho and hey-de-ho-ho. That, messieurs end mesdames, is “the scat.” To scat, as Webster de- fines the word, is no longer to “be gone”! However, it might be inter- preted as “a sound used to frighten away small animals’—such, for in- stance, as radio listeners! At any rate, Manhattan is in the throes of a “scat” craze. Its trickled downtown from Harlem. Every jaz band goes in for it. Crooners shiver, wondering fearfully if they will ever be able to put the “scat songs” over. What “hog calling” contests were to the farm sections, “scat singing” con- tests are to the big town. A phone call from Bert Nevins advises me that he's staging one in the midst of Broadway. In Harlem such contests |threaten to take the place of rent parties. * * * Historians of such episodic epidem- {es are scurrying around trying to trace the sources. Others wrangle over just how the “scat” got started and who was the first to “scat.” At the moment chief contenders for such honors are Cab Calloway, band maes- tro of the Cotton Club, and Louis} Armstrong. Calloway appears to be most close- ly identified with its spread whether or not he was the originator. “Min- nie the Mooch” was the first of the “seat songs” to gain general notice. The Mills Brothers, appearing out of nowhere with their tricky radio voices, rose to quick fame with sev- eral “scat rlumbers,” including “Min- nie and “Old Rocking Chair.” Latest reports indicate that the sleuths of Americana have tracked the vogue back to the southern plan- tations. There, it seems, the cotton field darkies hada more catlike meth- od of yowling out the “hye-de-hye” STICKEBS eeSee eAe Can you supply the conect letters, in place of the dots above, to form a word square? the public officials information on world affairs generally. The burden of taxes on theaters is already excessive and that since taxcs are passed on to the patrons it would bear heavily on the class who need the amusement and education the most. Representative Celler, Democrat of New York, declared that some coun- tries of Europe never tax the drama -|Production because of their cultural influences and cited countries that subsidized the drama. Mr. Celler urged that the present exemption up to $3.00 admission for the drama be retained, however. C. C.

He that the needed revenue be from net income rates and not take pennies and nick- els from children. Sule ComeD Lia’ New York, Feb. 9.—Oh-h, say, can} |days, hearing the sounds, were pre- sumed to shout “scat!”— in the fash- ion used on cats. Hence the name! | But there are others, students of |American folk songs, who point out that similar yodeling was used in cowboy ballads. Helen Black and Margaret Larkin, who gathered a volume of cowboy songs, recall that such classics as “Get Along Little Dog- gies” have a “yip-yip-yip-yeow” fin- ish not unlike the “hye-de-ho.” Over on the East Side, they'll ask lyou to notice the similarity to old |Hebrew chants and ballads. Once |the choristers get wound up with itheir “ho-de-hoes,” resemblances to jancient Oriental chants become evi- |dent. So, argues another faction, it all comes from Africa. The negroes transplanted it from Morocco and the Holy Land sections, some insists. While those who take their sea chanties seriously insist that negro sailors revised old sea ballads or picked them up on the wharves. Ven- erable sailor songs as “Off for the Rio Grande” wind up with a series of | wails and echoes, such as “And aw-a- jy-o—a-way-o!” So there you are! And if, per- chance, some reader may have any other versions of where the “scat” came from—just send them in!

Fe SIGN OF UKRAINIAN PEACE On Feb. 9, 1918, a treaty of peace was signed between the Ukrainian ustria-] garia and Turkey were signatories of the Central Powers. In the preamble of the treaty the Ukrairiian Republic declared its de-|J sire to “take the first step toward a lasting world’s peace, honorable to all parties, which shall not only put an end to the horrors of war, but al- So lead to the restoration of friendly relations of the people in political, le- gal, economic and intellectual realms.” American prisoners were captured at Xivry on the western front, and the French repulsed German raids in the region of Nieuport and Juincourt and Moronvilliers.

In the county indebtedness column the increases were $278,330 in sounds. Slave masters of the olden|ness of life, changes completely every| bond sinking, and $231,884 in bond interest, while there was a decrease of $35,653 in other indebtedness. Explaining the causes for the in- creases, Iver Acker, state tax commis- sioner, said they are due to some ex- tent to additional activities of gov- ernment, but to an even greater ex- tent to the enlargement of activities carried on at present in the various counties. Have Additional Duties “The increase in general govern- mental expenses,” he said, “is caused, to a large extent, by additional du- ties imposed upon various county of- ficers, particularly the county audi- tor. The county auditor has had ad- ‘ditional duties imposed upon him in connection with elections, increased highway work on the part of counties, increased charitable work, registra- tion of voters, administration of the state hail insurance law, administra- tion of seed and feed loan business of counties, increased poor relief work and various miscellaneous duties such as the requirement that the county auditor keep a bond register of all bonds and certificates of indebted- ness issued by minor subdivisions. “There are many other causes for increased general governmental costs 4such as increased election costs due: BEGIN HERE TODAY have for years au; Toe, thele younger, FRANCES, and #1 marry PHIL been enga, 22, | ante" for the aa ry-Frrances, bi to marry him she refuses.
