(Official City, State and County Newspaper) je: Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, LEVINGS & BREWER (Incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON An Empty Victory The “Real Republicans” of North Dakota who apparently have secured ten delegates pledged to support Presi- dent Hoover for the presidency have won an empty victory. This vote re- flects little except that many thou- sand former adherents of the “Real Republicans,” which is another po- litical name for the Republicans identified with the I. V. A. faction of North Dakota, walked out of the G. ©. P. primaries and went into the Democratic ranks to voice their dis- approval of President Hoover. This probably was true in a greater degree of the Republicans of Nonpartisan League convictions. In view of the vote at the presi- dential preference primary the Re- publicans, whether of the “Real” or the “League” persuasion, are going to have a hard time to win the voters of : this state over to Hoover unless there is a political groundswell or some kind of an upheaval between now and next November. Gov. Shafer and the whole I. V. A. faction are pretty well committed to President Hoover's candidacy and it is with the Hoover label that they must seek nomination at the June primaries. Judging from the number of Republicans who decided to take Democratic ballots’ the other day, Hoover labels and federal administra- tion support may be a distinct hand- icap, but time only can reveal that, as politics cuts up some very strange capers. Defeat of Judge Graham merely in- | dicated that the Nonpartisan aeete| faction decided that this office is not worth fighting for and as William} Stern of Fargo has quite a following among the League members no one got excited over that contest. Stern is a popular member of the American Legion and he drew support from all factions as his political past has not been offensive to any of the cliques. } In the approaching state campaign, national issues probably will be sedulously avoided except in the con- test for United States senator. Doubtless the Democrats who find their party suddenly becoming pop- ular with the voters will rehabilitate their organization and name a strong state ticket. They have every reason to hope for a big increase in the Dem- ocratic vote both in June and No- vember. Leadership of the Demo- cratic party in North Dakota will hardly fail to capitalize this situation and North Dakota may find a strong Democratic state ticket as well as a vigorous contest for the United States senate. Whether the siren call of state patronage which has accomplished a fusion between the I. V. A. faction and some Democrats on state issues will be strong enough to sacrifice state Democracy for political pelf re- mains to be seen. A faction headed by recipients of much political pie, most outstanding of which are W. E. Byerly, John Gammons and Charles Simons, will doubtless attempt to preserve the old working agreement between Demo- crats and I. V. A. leaders, not on a basis of political principles but on a division of the spoils. Gammons and Simons have much to answer for to the Democrats now flushed with vic- tory at the March 15th polls. These ‘Shafer supporters are credited with “setting up the straw Perry to beat . down the other Perry and have been roundly scored by the faction headed by R. B. Murphy, Lanier, and others. , “If the old 1.V.A. working agreement :is* not completely broken, it will be badly shattered and not as effective as in the good old days when Twichell, 59 | a8 absorbed his is always interesting and there. are many maneuvers evident in the play- ing of it.

Chauncey Olcott Irish melodies and lore made the name of Chauncey Oleott famous to lovers of light opera and melodrama with a soft rural background, He missed dying on St. Patrick’s Day by a few hours, Few singers have done more to pop- ularize Irish melodies or instill love for the Emerald Isle.

Chauncey Olcott devoted what abil- ity he had to clean plays. They were dramatic offerings of scant plots but justice exacted heavy toll and sinners always suffered until the galleries rocked and howled in glee. There was considerable of the artist about Olcott, too. Never endowed with a great voice, he made more out of a pleasing tenor than many others who had greater volume and richer tone effects. Olcott made the most of his talent and brought joy to mil- lions during his long career upon the stage. He appeared several times in Bis- marck to capacity houses. Off stage, Today the screen |* BONIS AEN TBR ES Sa al SO a he was a pleasant companion, witty and full of cheerful optimism. The ballad, “My Wild Irish Rose,” was one of his favorites and its sing- ing was as much a part of his per- formance as “Casey at the Bat” is DeWolf Hopper's. Olcott had many imitators. He cre- ated the Irish singing comedian role and for years the stage swarmed with others who tried to cash in on his Popularity. But there was just one Olcott. Will anyone who has ever seen him forget his portrayal of the jovial Irish squire or the injured unrequit- ted lover sighing out delicious melo- dies with an inimitable brogue? He got his start as a blackface minstrel and through a long and hard apprenticeship rose to affluence. Few singers drew greater or more enthus- jastic audiences. He always kept his common touch; he always walked with men. He was dear old Chauncey to millions, A Minor Wonder One of the minor wonders of the recent election was the way in which Bismarck residents flocked to the Polls and the manner in which the American Legion committee func- tioned to make sure that every eli- gible voter cast his ballot. Because of the fact that the inter- ests of every voter were directly at stake, it was to be expected that near- ly everyone would come to the polls voluntarily—and most of them did. Working steadily throughout the day, however, the American Legion committee checked up on every eli- gible voter and personally saw to it that hundreds voted who might oth- erwise have neglected to do so. From the standpoint of political workers with long experience, it was @ demonstration of enthusiasm and efficiency which put the vaunted or- Ganizations of past years in the shade. One old-timer remarked that it was reminiscent of the palmiest days of Aleck McKenzie, greatest of North Dakota's political leaders. Viewed from any standpoint, that overwhelming vote will long stand as a high water mark in the expression of Bismarck's citizenship and as an additional credit in the long list of achievements amassed by the Amer- ican Legion. Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the Population, 15 Pounds New York, March 19.—While it might seem, offhand, to indicate un- derweight or malnutrition, the fact remains that the population of New York (or Manhattan, if you prefer) will be fifteen pounds this year. And this shows a considerable gain in weight. For I have it.in a note from the City Directory offices that the big town’s list of names will require three volumes; one combining Manhattan and the Bronx; one for Queens; one for Brooklyn. And it will be a partic-} ularly complete grouping of the cit- izenry, since work of getting the sta- tistics was turned over to-an army of unemployed men who received from $3 to $4 per day. Brooklyn, by the way, is now but three pounds lighter than Manhat- tan. xk Talented Mr. Rhoades i: From Samuel J. Gates, a consulting engineer of Milwaukee, Wis., comes a note informing me that I didn’t do complete justice to the writings of John Harsen Rhoades, the banker- poet. In a recent column I revealed that, in addition to attending to vast estates and handling great fortunes, Mr. Rhoades sent verses to a column- ist on the Springfield (Ill.) Republi- can. Reading of this in the Milwau- kee Journal, Mr. Gates writes: “You made no mention of the fact that Mr. Rhoades is author of an in- teresting little volume: “Thoughts of @ Man at Fifty.” Nor did I, not having been aware of its existence. ee * At any rate, within its pages you'll find such epigrams as this: “It’s @ poor mirror that cannot re- pay a smile.” And there's a story of a Wall Street banker who was approached for a loan, The banker declined at first, but the borrower seemed so eager that the banker said: “I'll be @ good sport.

Vanity of Vanities (Duluth Herald George Eastman developed a vast industry, produced an article that gave great pleasure and interest to millions of people, promoted other in- dustries such as the motion picture industry that grew out of the film he invented, amassed a great fortune, ex- plored many avenues in search of Peace and happiness including travel, big game hunting and philanthropy on a vast scale, and then, at the age of 78, with no wife or child or grandchild, he fell sick. He fell sick of body, and manifestly he fell sick of mind too, because yesterday he sent away his friends and killed himself.

Prodigious Producers Critics may be all wet and a men- ace to the theater—even as announced by Representative Sirovich. But there’s no doubt about one thing: the big Broadway preducers think they know how’to size up their own shows and each has an individual way of doing it.

The girl knew instine tively what Steven did not guess. Despite Symes’ suave politeness she understood he believed his cHent to be making an unfortunate | - mistake. As soon as it was possible Ellen attempted to clarify her own posi- tion, Steven and Symes were dis- cussing figures and properties she could not comprehend, She plucked at Steven's sleeve, “I don’t need a private checking account,” she sald with dignity. “If I need anything there is no reason why I can't come to you and ask you for it.” Symes stared at her cynically. But Steven was impatient, “It’s all settled,” he said. “The only thing left is to sign the papers.” “There's a little more to it than that, “teven,” Symes put in. The lawyer began again to talk of in- surance, of buildings located here, of land located there, of trusts, of holding companies, And always where one word would have served he used three. Ellen’s head began to spin, All that she grasped was that a staggering sum of money was to be settled on her outright— far, far too much, She did not want so much. The very thought of such sums frightened and be wildered her. Still she dared not {ntrude in the conversation. She could only sit there, inwardly re- sentful and rebellious. “Bring on the papers,” Steven sald at length. “Ellen is bored to tears. But it will be only a few minutes now, dear,” bs promised, turning to her. Then to Symes again, “I’d Ike to eign the will, too.” Symes glanced at his watch. “They aren't all ready yet,” he said. “Would you mind waiting a few minutes?” “I would mind,” Ellen spoke up frankly. “I'm really tired.” She appealed to Steven. “Do let's go and come back tomorrow or on the day we sail.” . He might have argued but some thing wistful and weary in her face checked him. Steven gave in. The settlements could be left until the day following the wedding. Ellen took a malicious delight in the lawyer's surprise that she, who had everything to gain, wished for, delay. “Do you know,” she sald to Steven after they were out on the street, “I wish you weren't so frightfully rich.” “You've been so strange all aft- ernoon,” be complained, vaguely apprehensive. “You don’t mean—” “I don't mean anything,” she in- terrupted. “I only mean 1 don't the North Dakota State Highway commission to proceed with the prep- aration of surveys, plans, specifica- tions and estimates required for the two bridges.

NAME U VALEDICTORIAN Grand Forks, N. D., March 19—(?) —Ethel Schlasinger, Streeter, N. D., co-ed, was elected valedictorian of the senior class at the University of North | Gosling, found to be just as intelligent as their brothers and sisters, who were health- ful. Only in cases where the disease af- fected the glands of internal secre- tion or the brain was there any ap- preciable departure from normal in- telligence. ‘The interesting fact was observed that the intelligence seemed to be iapeored during the acute stage of any illness, probably due to the stim~- ulation associated with fever and in- creased chemical activity in the body. Children of higher intelligence had in general begun to walk and to talk earlier than those of lesser intelli- gence. Another interesting observation was the correlation between height and intelligence, in that children of higher intelligence seemed to be slight- ly taller than the others. It must be remembered, however, that this study was made in Great Britain, and that similar study made ature might yleld a different result. One questions whether it would be found that the taller Japanese are any smarter than the short ones. lease oe Gamest Kid Dies | After Operation | + Syracuse, N. Y., March 19.—(#) Clarence Hastings, whose friends called him “the gamest kid in America,” is dead. The 14-year-old boy, after spending 177 days, or nearly half @ year, in a respirator that al- lowed movements of only his head, died at City hospital Fri- day of infantile paralysis compli- cated by the shock of an opera- tion on Tuesday for an abdom- inal obstruction. While nurses and doctors stood around the breathing apparatus and watched his life ebb away, he turned his head and eald: “Please shut off the machines. They're making too much noise.” He had just died when a tele- gram was received from Bert Acosta, transatlantic flier, and Townsend McAllister, an aviator, who had taken an interest in the case. It said: “You will be all right. I mean in good health. ‘When you recover look me up at Roosevelt flying field and I'll take you for a good flight for being so brave.” CATTLE JUDGE DIES Kansas City, March 19.—()—John 87, ® noted cattle judge Dakota Friday.

My. sister will: by no means be left in poverty. But you, as my wife, must come first.” Somehow Ellen was not thrilled as usual by his desire to care for her, to protect her. She was not a delicate bit of rare porcelain that he should speak of her in that hushed tone. She had earned her own living and, if necessary, could earn it again. The interview with the lawyer had been disheartening. Horrible to sit with a man who clearly believes you to be a cheap and greedy little gold-digger. . . . There was an unpleasant side to having money, ‘decidedly an un- Pleasant side. As Steven assisted her into his car Biten felt just a little as if she were being slowly buried beneath golden piles of money, There was something frightening in the reflection that there was literally nothing in the world for sale which she could not buy. Such a condition was stultity- ing to the imagination, stultifying to desire and ambition. She un- derstood just then why Myra had sald so proudly that. she and Bert were young and strong and did not wish to have things made easy for them, But ‘gradually Ellen became aware that her mood was depress- ing and bewildering Steven. He had sunk back gloomily into the cushions and was staring straight ahead and away from her. It was her job to make him happy. With her eyes wide open she had chosen that Job, She set about bringing him to good humor again with charm. and artifice so that in the end, over the dinner table, they were laughing and talking and things were all right again, All right, that is, with Steven, After dinner he sent her out to Brooklyn in his car but alone. She was glad of the chance to be alone, slad of the chance to face her own situation, to face her own soul. In the end she decided what any Ros- siter would decide. She would tread the path she had chosen and with courage and with Brace, There should be no more of those moods to make Steven puszied and unhappy.

Ellen looked surprised. “Mike decided he'd be a man and stay there at the hospital by him- self,” chuckled the Irishwoman, “Funny thing—your maw's tickled pink she’s so proud of him.” Ellen had started on again, But Mrs, Clancy had more to say. She was evidently somewhat embar rassed for she kept twisting and ening, her apron, think you got.a guest up there, too,” she whispered with a con- spiratorial air. “I—well, I didn't manage to see him good but I think it's that same young fellow was here for you a coupla weeks ago.” Ellen felt that she was euffocat- ing as sho stammered out her thanks, turned away and ran up the stairs, She must get this set- tled at once and forever, while she had the courage. It she. saw Larry now, he must know, must under stand that she meant what she had written, Her keys were in the lock and ie had tugged back the door. She stopped short on the threshold. Myra, already wearing the new blue pajamas, was dividing her at- tention between a bow! of. straw- berries and the evening newspaper.
