(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, BREWER (Incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON What the Situation Is {will be maintained constantly, dust Editorials in the state press and | Queries made at The Tribune office Telative to the policies of the State Capitol Commission indicate confu- sion as to the part the city of Bis- marek is taking in connection with the erection of the new building. The policies of the commission are wholly within the hands of men named to the board by Governor George Shafer. Bismarck has one representative on the commission and there, insofar as this city is con- cerned, its contact ends. Some crit- icism has been aimed at Bismarck for not insisting upon more North Dakota men being employed at the local headquarters. One state editorial has gone so far as to say that Bismarck is showing ingratitude for the fine vote given it in the recent removal fight by allowing Chicago employes to secure all the jobs when many stats architects are suffering from long pe- Tiods of unemployment. ‘This situation, if true, is not charge- able to Bismarck. Her citizens are trying to cooperate in every way with members of the Capitol Commission to speed up the building operations, but as a city, Bismarck is powerless to affect the policies of that board or to correct real or fancied grievances. As for the materials to be used in the construction of the building, the; Jaw specifically requires that where possible North Dakota products shall be utilized. Of course the extent of their use is a matter clearly for the discretion of the Capitol Commission: | and an affair over which Bismarck citizens have no conrtol. Capitol construction is a state job and the whole venture is being man- aged by agencies beyond the civic control of Bismarck. It is unfair to blame Bismarck for anything that might transpire in the building nego- tiations. In fairness to the Capitol Commis- sion, it must be said, whatever their action on materials or the employ- ment of men to carry forth the exe- cution of this project, somebody's toes will be stepped on and not every one will be satisfied. Nothing can be gained through destructive, captious criticism. The main objective is to get the building erected, and state de- partments relieved from present handicaps. The urgency of the sit- uation may be responsible for some of the acts criticized. The commission is charged with a very important task. This building is to stand for ages. Politics and per-| sonal interests should be relegated to} the background. Wherever feasible, North Dakota products and North Da- kotans should be favored. That is self evident and only fair. H Probably a clear frank statement of } the situation from members of the Capitol Commission will forestall more criticism and prevent an accumulation of misunderstandings on the part of the public and the press of the state. A Normal View When a group of Ohio pastors re- cently adopted the stand that they would refuse to serve in any future war, no matter what its cause or character, and would encourage their to refuse to serve, it! brought into action the Americanism | | portant exception. fanatics who believed they had divine guidance of conscience to commit these outrages. If we ac- cept an individual's conscientious objections’ as a valid defense for refusal to obey that part of our law which provides for our com- mon defense, by the same token we might as well excuse and over- look the violations of law by rape, murder and theft, when the of- fending individual pleads ‘con- scientious intolerance for the rights of others’ and ‘divine in- spiration.’ | _ “No longer can we be passive to the growing demands of these forces who clamor for the bene- fits and privileges of our govern- ment without giving anything in return. “We have duty to perform in carrying the truth about these matters to every part of the coun- try. Through the medium of our 10,400 Posts we can turn on the light of intelligent information throughout the breadth and length of the land.” There will be few to disagree with this statement. It represents the view of the normal American. Air Conditioning ‘The progress that industrial engi- jneers are making in air conditioning devices makes it apparent that this new field of activity will become more and mort important during the coming decade. The Chesapeake & Ohio railroad the other day announced inaugura- tion of a new fast passenger train, the George Washington, on which every coach and Pullman will be fit- ted with an elaborate air condition- ing apparatus. Even temperatures will be eliminated, and the passengers will be kept comfortably warm in winter and comfortably cool in sum- iner. That such devices will become common equipment on all crack pas- senger trains before long seems prob- able. That they will, in addition, come into general use in homes and apartments is also probable. Some of these favorite sons are step-sons bored states would like to pawn off on the nation. ‘ Declining magazine circulations in- dicate dentists are not renewing their 1910 subscriptions.

(New York World-Telegram) While America looks for a way out of depression and Secretary of State Some Congressmen Do Every thing! n’t Seem to Know There’s a Limit to TRAINING THE BABY Proper Habits Often May Be Developed Within First Six Months By DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN | Editor, Journal of the American Medical Association If there is one point more than any other which gives the new mother concern, it is the training of the child in proper habits so far as con- cerns the excretions of the human body. One of the supervisors for the Infant Welfare Society of Chicago has recently Weveloped a series of di- rections for this purpose which are Practical and sound. Most babies can learn such control within the first two years of life. Many will learn within six months. If the baby fails to learn by the end of the third year,\ or, if the baby once trained, relapses to infantile habits, it requires special medical study and Perhaps psychologic examination to find out just what is wrong. The directions for the control of the bowels follow: Observe the time at which the baby usually soils his diaper. At that hour the next day place a small vessel in the lap and hold the baby on this, letting him lie against the left arm. Repeat this regularly each day at the same time. The first week it may be necessary. to use a glycerin suppos- itory to start the movement and to direct the baby’s attention to the rea- son for being placed on the vessel. By the second week, the bowel movement should be started by the feeling of the vessel alone. Hold the baby on the vessel five or 10 min- jutes before using a suppository. Never continue using a suppository regularly for more than two weeks as the baby may learn to depend upon it. When the baby is old enough to sit alone, place him on a nursery chair. It may be necessary to use the sup- Scunds Like Fun! New York, April 12.—Rarest, most exclusive and uninhibited of Broad-; way ceremonials is “the wrecking party.” Such an event is all that the name theater is about to be surrendered t2 the wrecking crews. It is a house- warming in reverse. After the final performance, the playhouse is at the mercy of performers who have been appearing there. For once everything in sight can be hacked, broken and battered with no thought of irate landlords or managers. Something like a complete shambles Stimson departs for the Geneva dis- armament conference, one simple road to trade revival and peace re- mains neglected. More than any other single act, a restoration of friendly trade relations with Russia would improve business and quiet threats of world war. It is doubtful if there is anything else the United States can do at the moment which will materially check the war forces in the Far East or prevent the eventual Spread of those forces to Europe. Unfriendly Rus- so-American relations are a virtual invitation to Japar to continue her aggression into Siberia. The dollars-and-cents argument. for better relations with Russia is un- answerable. One reason for our depression is the loss of foreign trade. As Presi- dent Hoover and others have demon- strated, exports absorbed the ten per cent of our production which was the’ margin between prosperity and de- pression, between profit and no prof- it. That surplus, no. longer sold abroad, now smothers us. Since 1929 our foreign trade has been cut al- most in half. ‘That diagnosis of part of our eco- nomic sickness: is clearer and easier than to find a remedy. Those who advise us to turn back and. concen- trate on the domestic market admit that this has not availed during the last two years. They admit, further, that there is slight possibility of the domestic market in the near future requiring the full output of our fac- tories and labor power. And those who hope for a revival of general foreign trade admit that it is not in sight. As foreign nations raise higher tariffs and trade bar- tiers in retaliation for the American tariff wall and as our foreign debtors default upon their bonds, the pros- pects for a general increase in Amer- ican exports grow less favorable. Russia is an exception—the only im- Russia needs and wants the goods cur closed factories and unemployed \labor could produce. Russia pays her bills. Russia is the only European nation in the post- war period with a 100 per cent record in meeting her trade obligations.

Susan thought everyone on the block must be noticing her. At the cor- ner where Schultz’s drug store window showed a pink and purple display of cold creams and pow- ders she shrank into young Lamp- man’s tall shadow. The usual hanger-ons were out- side the cigar store, pimply youths whispering to each other. Susan knew one or two but pretended not to see them. “Do you always walk so fast?” demanded Ben Lampman in a sur- prised tone as they arrived, rather breathless, under the theater's blazing portal. Susan shook her head. She was blushing. How was she to ex- plain to him that this was the first time she had ever gone any- where in the evening with a young man? She half started to speak, then checked the impulse. - No, he would think her what Rose Milton called “a dope.” She wouldn’t tell him. Susan was afraid of ridicule. Silently they walked past the doorman in his white coat and silver buttons.

Su- san, crushing past knees in the darkness, wondered suddenly and agonizingly why she had come. She longed with all her heart to be safe and quiet and solitary on Aunt Jessie’s front porch. There was this much to be said about the pictures. You didn’t have to talk to your escort. You could be the veriest clam and still be a social success at a Nancy Carroll talkie, Soon Susan forgot to be self- conscious, forgot to wonder if there were all around her prying neighbors who would report her adventure to Aunt Jessie.

She'll be mad as hops. She’s very particular.” Susan tossed her head. Let him like it or not! Ben loped along at her side, taking two long, indolent steps to four of the girl’s short ones. “Oh, she is, is she?” he commented, drily. “Yes,” Susan told him. She began to feel decidedly uncom- fortable at the thought of facing Aunt Jessie. She began to wish the tall, dark young man striding beside her was at the bottom of Lake Michigan. Anywhere—just so Aunt Jessie might not discover Susan's perfidy! “D-don't you want to leave here?” the girl inquired nerv- ously, under the street lamp at the corner nearest-her home. “I can just as well go the rest of the way alone.” Ben Lampman stared at her moodily. “What's the matter?” he wanted to know. “I won't bite your aunt. Why do you want to shake me?” , : Susan laughed unconvincingly. “How silly!” she trilled. “I was just trying to save you the trouble of going all the way. Rose told me you lived way out on the south side—' “Ido,” he informed her darkly. “But when I take a girl out I seo she gets home safe. How do I know there's not a cut-throat wait- ing in the alley-way?” Susan giggled. the sald, “Yau sound just like Aunt Jessie.” Suddenly Ben Lampman took her arm and the vice-like grip of his long fingers on her bare flesh shocked her into silence. “You don’t look like a little fool,” he barked. ‘You're not one. Why act that way, then?” Susan, usually even tempered, felt wild anger flow over her, washing her like tidewater. She wrenched herself away. that?” she cried sharply. “Who d’you think you are?” “I’m sorry,” the young man growled. “Didn't mean it—you girls—always making fun of peo- ple—" danger, But Aunt Jessie's silence en- dured only for a moment. She stood outside the bathroom door, calling loudly above the rumble of the running water, “But who ishe? Where does he live? And who are his parents?” Susan groaned inwardly, Aunt Jessie in one of her fiercely inter- Togative moods was trying. She trilled, “I’m in the tub, Can’t it wait until morning?” She could hear Aunt Jessie snort unbelievingly, Then, as she listened fearfully there cam heartening sound of firm, niare steps retreating down the hall. Susan sighed with rellet, She would have some hours, at least, in which to think up satisfactory suswers for her aunt. Breakfast would find Aunt Jessie in her most uncompromising mood. THY walked along for a min- ute in silence. “I’m sorry,” he repeated impatiently. “It makes me mad when people treat danger lightly. I thought you were dif- ferent, thought you had a little sense.” Susan decided to treat the in- cident as nothing, although her flesh still tingled painfully from his angry grasp. “All right. Let’s forget about it,” she said hastily. If Aynt Jes- sie should happen to be on thé porch—should hear her quarrel- ing with a man! What conclu- sions might she not draw? The lamp in the sitting room window shone full out, but there was no rocking figure on the porch. “Good night, and thanks for taking me,” Susan said in a low voice, proffering her hand. Ben Lampmen took it and the dark gaze he bent on the girl made her uncomfortable, “You're not angry at me?” he asked with unexpected humility, Susan softened at something ab- ject in his gaze. His eyes were like the dark eyes of a dog that has been beaten too often. “No, I’m not angry,” “But I must go in now.” “Can I give you a ring some time?” pursued her escort eaget- ly, Susan, in a panic, thought she heard Aunt Jessie at the screen door, so.she threw caution to the winds. . “Do. <Any time dt all,” she murmured sweetly.
