Talcott of Westhope wrote ® letter to the secretary of the Jamestown Commercial club but put it in an envelope addressed to The ‘Tribune. It seems a little bit like eavesdrop- ping but we are going to forward it to the Jamestown man and he prob- ably will make it public there, so we might as well print it, since it bears] on a subject of especial interest just now. Here's what Talcott says: “allow me to inquire where the crazy notion to remove our state government from Bismarck to Jamestown originated. I am well aware of the fact that the ‘nut house’ is located in your worthy city but had no idea the inmates were left running at large. Please take this up at your next meeting and have the question thoroughly sifted. Also, please favor the undersigned with the information desired. “Awaiting your reply, I am, yours very truly, “JOHN F. TALCOTT, { “Westhope, N. D.” “P. S.—If, on the other hand, the question involved the re- moval of our national govern- ment from Washington, D. C., to your village, we might have per- ceived a certain system in your madness and boosted for you, as the behavior and tantrums of the house of congress during the last decade clearly indicate it is de- sirable, if not imperative, to have it removed to a closer proximity | to your institution. “But to move our state capi- tal? Never. “Get your hands out of the taxpayers’ pocket. Forget it. Your disillusion will be crushing and thorough.” That's quite a letter and, naturally, we agree with most of what Talcott! ? says. In fact, we think the latter part of his postscript is particularly well put.

When Left Is Right | Custom has ordained that the pe- destrian on the rural highway, like the vehicles, shall “Keep to the/| Right.” That is proper for the ve- hicle, but for the pedestrian the right side is the wrong side, according to | Maxwell N. Halsey, traffic engineer of the National Bureau of Casualty ‘and Surety Underwriters. | Two thousand persons are killed annually in the United States andj} many thousands injured because they | cling to the ancient custom. They are struck at curves, over the crest of hills and in narrow passes by au- tomobiles coming from behind. Dusk, before the headlight is turned on, is very dangerous, but later in the night, when the silhouette of the pe- destrian blends into the background even under the strongest of head- lights, is the most dangerous time of all. “Until the states provide sidewalks for the country road, the pedestrian should always keep on the left side,” Mr. Halsey declares; “then at least he can see the cars coming and move to safety if the occasion demands it. It may feel awkward at first, but it will pay. “There are signs of an awakening in this matter. North Carolina, West Virginia, Kansas, Delaware, Massa- chusetts, New York and New Jersey have laws which authorize the proper authorities to build sidewalks along highways. In other states, county {rowed money ‘avenue had been Police Aid Helpless A recent dispatch from Germany stated that German policemen, in Berlin and other cities, have estab- lished funds with their own money to provide meals for poverty-stricken children, In Berlin, for instance, more than 1,000 youngsters are fed each day. In Stettin, for another ex- ample, the police themselves serve the meals, which are served in a big school room, warm and cheerful. One wonders if this won't give those German children an entirely jnew slant on the police officer and his,place in society. Usually, in the United States and in Europe alike, a child grows up looking on the cop as an agent of repression—often as a neutral enemy. These young Ger- mans will know him as a kindly friend. It ought to make things a lot easier for the police a few years later. Editorial Comment | tditorials printed below show the y other editors, d to whet with The Tribune's policies. And Washington Crossed the Delaware «Stanley Sun) Washington's crossing of the Dela-! ware of course has become one of the commonplaces of history. We have become so familiar with the phrase that few of us stop to consider just why he crossed it, other than that he did cross it, and that he landed on the} other side. At the time Washington accom- plished what was then considered an impossibility, things were looking ark for ithe Colonial army. The British had won victory after victory and worst of all, the Coionies were without funds. Men who had been leaders of the revolution had given| Il hope of winning the war and| y of them had sought refuge in| hiding. The Colonial congress had} disbanded and its members had scat- | tered.

He had bor- until every possible ted. If the revolution failed, ington would be hunted down like a dog by the British and his end would probably come before a firing squad or at the end of a rope. His friends were }turning from him and dubbed him |*quack” because he had not carried jout his promises. If there had been any other avenue of escape, English {histories would probably today tell of the American revolution 38 just an- other “uprising of rei The only a |possible escape for Washington and his folloyers was to whip the Brit- ish.

It was the turning point in the Revolutionary war and following it, the colonists took new heart and kept the British on the run until the close of the The desperation of one man and the implicit faith of those who fol- lowed him in those few hours, prob- ably made American history what it is today and the map of the United States as it appears in our school geog- raphies. And so, when we refer to George Washington as the father of his country, we are not repeating a meaningless phrase, but expressing in a few words a very great truth. May- be it is true that the history books stretch the truth in places, and may- be the heroic deeds of Washington and his followers were prompted by other than patriotic motives at times, but the fact remains that these men, with Washington as their loyai leader, accomplished their ends over seeming odds, and to them we owe any claim to greatness which we may have ac- complished. was time.

Cohan, whose name has remained a symbol of Broadway for a generation, has little in common these days with the highway that he helped to put on the map. While a new brand of stage and sereen folk are “seen everywhere,” Cohan has less than a nodding ac- quaintance with those resorts fre- quented by those Broadwayites who somehow manage to get their names in the paper. This is a new Broadway to him, and he'll shake his slicked, silvered head when mention of the change comes up. Once, some months ago, he dropped into a night club. He has been to few. He sees mostly strangers. His old Broadway might have been Skaggs Corners, where everyone knew everyone else and where one was cer- tain of seeing pay eny, faces, * Today Cohan Boe an apart- ment that looks out on Central’ Park.

He likes to turn on the radio and listen in on half a dozen programs. | His name is seldom on the list of first-night attenders at the theater— although his entrance would prob- ably create a sensation. Which is another criteria of the dumbness of the present-day Broadway mob. Again—the army of so-calleds yho now make up the “mob” might ‘not know he was there. They might not recognize him. * ok * Cohan likes to attend picture shows, but again he is rarely in the Broadway crowd. There is a little neighborhood theater just a few blocks away from his residence where he goes to view the cinema. It is an exclusive little place, where the bet- STICKERS |.

He never tires of reading plays. But he still has his own derinite opinions concerning what should be produced. His last opus was consid- ered “archaic” by the dyed-in-the- wool Broadwayese throng. Yet, oddly enough, such is tradi- tion that he is never out cf the Broadway picture. He merely has to announce a new Cohan ae. ae” a and the ears of the street prick up. ‘The ears that stand listening are unfamiliar ears to him. His name is still sacrosanct; but his person is seldom represented. It was different in the old days: when Knickerbocker flourished and one could drop in for a cocktail, as-; sured of meeting the theatrical crowd. Today, you can't tell who you'll meet if you go to a bar. Cohan. you see, has his own traditions. And lives according to them. He believes that the basic spirit of the old street has changed but little.

During the con- versation, the idea for a play was mentioned and Cohan suggested that the author go ahead. At last reports, it was about two-thirds finished. And there—briefly—you have the George M.

With @ dissatisfied glance at Ellen, Miss Tevis turned and went into her own office. As if by accident she managed to leave the adjoining door a trifie’ajar but Barclay rose ‘and closed it. “Miss Tevis, I’m afraid,” he re- marked with a twinkle in his eye and an entire change of manner, “is beginning to be curious.” Ellen went directly to the point. She was, to tell the truth, vaguely disturbed. The secretary's attitude had in 8 small way served to con- firm her mother’s pleased insistence, her own secret fears of the morn- ing. It was possible, it was more than possible that Barclay’s interest. in her was more than friendly, Cer- tainly there had been a note of in- timacy in his voice after the door had closed, a light intimation that both of them were in league to de- feat the secretary's curiosity. She intended to avoid complica- tions of that sort, “I've brought back the dress,” began, as she leaned forward ‘and laid the box on his desk. “I can’t tell you how much I apprect- ated using it.
