Attendance was excellent and instead of begging men to accept places on the ticket and on delegations to the state convention, eagerness for such posts was displayed. It is a good thing for North Dakota as well as the Democratic party, that such is the case. The time has come to fight out political contests through the agencies of two parties, rather than in mugwump alliances without party allegiance, principles or con- victions. These fusion paries have re- solved themselves into job-snatching organizations. They have little polit ical background and the necessity that, called them into being has gone. Their platforms are mildewed. Their leader- ship, generally speaking, is shot through with petty ambitions, spites and yearnings for political pelf. Reconstruction of the Republican ‘and Democratic parties in North Da- kota will eventually restore party re- sponsibility in this state more nearly than can be obtained now. As it is now, a faction meets as “real” Republicans. Then they ad- journ, beckon a few pie-counter Dem- ocrats over, and organize as I. V. A. What political hash! The fact that 84,000 voters walked over into the Democratic primaries in March should be notice to the smug political leaders that the jig is up. North Dakota is showing signs of po- litieal boredom at the effort of the Twichell gang to keep the old sores open. They are doing the only wise thing to combat this mugwump or- ganization by going back into old groups to fight the battle out along honest and more logical lines. All power to the Democrats in build- Ing up a strong party organization and may its leadership be able enough to show up the political trickery and hypocrisy which have saddjed upon North Dakota an unbearable tax bur- den. ‘This state needs the friction of two strong political units rather than the meaningless contest between warring factions within the Republican party. It is refreshing to note that the Dem- cocrats are waking up to their political responsibilities—not to mention their ‘opportunities. Love of the Game ‘There is @ lesson for us all in the editorial printed by the Dickey Coun- ty Leader to call attention to its fif- tieth anniversary. In common with other newspapers of the state, The Tribune, North Da- kota’s oldest newspaper, joins in ex- tending congratulations to this brother which now has rounded out half a century of service to its community. Its history is not unusual, as the histories of publications go, but it is an honorable record and one of which H. J. Goddard, publisher of the Ellen- Gale newspaper, and every citizen of Ellendale, well may be proud. As with most institutions 50 years old, its founders are long since dead but other men have come to take their places and to carry on in the finest traditions and according to the highest standards of the newspeper business. ‘What that standard should be is stated, indirectly, a the anniversary willing, we shall continue on to the very end.” ‘Those words contain the germ of the idea which dominates every suc- cessful newspaper and nearly every newspaper will subscribe to the senti- ment, ‘The best newspapers make no pre- tensions to being what they are not. {Primarily they are business institu- tions and opportunities of earning a living, often for many persons. But, if they are real newspapers, they are more than that. They chronicle the events of their times. They boost but rarely do they get credit; they serve $.00 |and often are snubbed; their good deeds often go unnoticed and their sins of commission or omission some- times are subjects for caustic com- ment. But “the game” goes on. If they are honest with themselves and with the public, they survive and anniver- sarles come to them. They look down the lane of their own history, shad- owed by the years and studded here and there with achievements and joys, defeats and disappointments. They look into the future with hope which comes to them from the past. They make a new pledge to the old faith: “God willing, we shall continue on to the very end.” What finer expression of adherence to an ideal? Illinois Surprises Many persons were startled at the nomination of Len Small as the Re- publican candidate for governor of Il- linois. It had been generally assumed that the remains of the Small-Thomp- son machine had been definitely buried under the wrath of a public opinion at last aroused to the need for drastic reform. True, the primary system is re- sponsible mainly for the nomination of a man listed among the political “undesirables” of Illinois. Under this system which permitted a plethora of candidates, opposition became so di- vided that a minority was able to put the Republican party into the com- ing campaign handicapped by prob- ably the least desirable candidate that could have been named. The return of former Governor Small to a prominent place in his state's politics brings back memories of a regime in which graft was fla- grant and Illinois became the domicile of organized gangs, racketeers and professional killers. Illinois has performed surprising feats in its transformations from sin- ner to saint and back again. Keeping the devil down is like holding an in- flated tube under water. No sooner is it pushed down in one spot than it bobs up in another. But righteousness stands triumph- ant in at least one respect. The state is not to be polluted by any club known as the “Hell ’n’ Maria” club. A charter has been refused an organ- ization desiring to adopt that famous expletive as its name, because of its alleged obscenity. ‘The devil may ballyhoo throughout the state in his bandwagon, but his “hell” is not to be listed in the di- rectory.

That is a lot of money, yet those from whom he demanded this sum were willing to pay it. Why? Because Ruth cannot be replaced. Many men doing important work in industry and commerce have been or have even lost their jobs. Most of these men can be replaced by others ready and capable to step into their shoes. Not so with Ruth. There are other good hitters in baseball but only one Ruth. His personality combined with an extraordinary ability have given him a reputation that brings into the cash register many more dollars than he takes out. Psychoanalysts describe Ruth as “one man in a billion.” He has so many near-perfect mental and physi- cal attributes that such a combina- tion is likely to be found, according to probabilities, in only one man in every billion. Surely this has something to do with the position he has created for himself. In his vocation, sport though it be, he cannot be replaced. This is a rare position and a secure one. Not many men achieve this dis- tinction. Editorial Comment Edjtofials printed below show the They become speakeasies, 44th swells.” family moved.

A few doors down the street, @ couple of Uncle Sam's trucks were backed to the curb while raiders car- ried out fixtures and evidence.

Loyal | Partisan, he bet a dinner on a cer- tain election. And lost. Political friends were treated to a goose dinner @ la Mayer. Overnight Simon Mayer was famous as a goose chef. From an election bet, he became a restaurateur. His name became associated so intimately with goose cookery that friends playfully referred to him as “Ganse” Mayer. Which is how the name Gansemayer came into being. se * Gastronomic Tears Of the old-time gastronomic Sher- jlocks, who sleuthed out the finest food and vintages of another generation, Benjamin de Casseres is, perhaps, New York's hardiest survivor.

French troops were forced out of Hangard by fresh German shock troops. Fighting of great intensity con- tinued, with German gains being small, on the entire Lys front. Five new German divisions were in the battle, allied officials said. British counter-attacks regained some of the ground lost early in the day, but pressure on the entire British front was very great. Germany sent an ultimatum to Hol- land demanding the right to trans- port certain supplies not used in war through Dutch territory.

Susan did not answer because for the moment she was too busy fumbling about in her purse for her key. She was conscious only of an exquisite sense of relief. It was enough to be safe at home with that nightmare behind her. “I waited and waited,” Rose was saying bitterly. “There wasn't anyone I knew to call, although I nearly did give Ben a ring.” Susan gasped in horror. “Oh, thank Heaven you didn’t!” “Well, I like that!” Rose stood transfixed, eyeing her. “You are a cool one! Here I've been fretting myself sick for the last three hours.” They were in the living room Row and Susan, having switched on the lights, sank into a comfort- able chair, Rose pursued her griev- ance. “You haven't even told me whom you were with or anything,” she said, annoyed. Susan could have laughed trom sheer relief but she didn’t dare, Rose was so much in earnest. “It you'll just let me get my breath,” Susan begged, “I'll tell you all about it, I don’t blame you _ & bit for being furious, but honestly it wasn’t all my fault, I tried and tried to break away hours ago.

MORRIS bagel Editor, Journal of the American Medical Association. The difference between man and the ape is the difference between pen ‘au- tomatic machine and reasoning In other words, brains make the bapeg being different from the In Liverpool, Dr. W. Blair-Bell, termining whether or not a person has the amount of brains necessary | normal for success in life. It is commonly said that one man has brains and an- other has not, the, comparison usually referring to what most people consider average. The mental tests commonly used fail to take into account numerous factors which are significant; for ex- ample, the amount of sleep that the individual has had, his physical state of health, and perhaps) the variations in the testers. ‘What we call intellectual gifts, such as the ability to learn music, the ability to figure accurately in math- ematics, and the ability to remember, ‘are probably inherited in many cases. Theoretically it ‘should be possible to breed people with extraordinary mem- ories or of special musical talent. Some day the world may make a serious effort in this direction. Memory is called on to play a part in most mental activities. However, all intellectual abilities are capable of education and further development, the degree of development depending, of course, on the amount with which one begins. Records are available of a light- ning calculator who was taken to Cambridge university and who gave marvelous answers to all of the ques- tions, but who could not tell how he got his answers. Neither could he apply his methods in practical use. In his case it was too late to edu- cate him. He did not have brains; he had talent. No doubt, most of us begin with some brains, but they are of little use unless they. are properly trained and adjusted to daily life. A motor car is full of energy, but it cannot use that energy until the ignition switch is thrown and the clutch engaged. Con- trol, therefore, is necessary for proper use of human brains. After control comes energy. The lazy man does not think because he does not try to think. If he tried, he probably would find he had the mental equipment to accomplish the result he was seeking. One of the finest examples of the presence of brains is the development of ideas through imagination. The ‘man with a perfect memory may never create a single thought. His brain merely records the thoughts of others. ‘The artist, the genius, the intel- lectual leader, is the one whose brains, through reasoning, develop thought and ideas which all human beings recognize as important. ———<—___ es Barbs | e A Y.

When she had finished Rose said with emphasis, “I hope this will be a lesson to you. Now let's Bo to bed!” That was all. Having said her say Rose was content to forget the affair and Susan was grateful to her. She knew the story would travel no further, She thought she would never drop off to sleep but so superb was her health and so clear her co science, now that her fault was fessed, that in five minutes she was breathing deeply and evenly, safe in the land of dreams, eee T= next morning, however, the ordeal came flooding back to her. She began to worry. What if Mr, Heath should find out? What it Ray should tafk? Susan knew her own conduct would bear a close scrutiny but she also knew how such matters can be distorted. She arrived at the office in a fever of apprehension. Everything seemed quite as usual. There was Pierson at his high desk with his ledgers spread out before ‘him. There was the neat little pile to be sorted and, in five minutes, there was Mr. Heath, dap- Der and well groomed as ever. Su- san felt like a thief and a coward as she returned bis cheery good morning. Quite well she knew what would be his opinion of her part in last night's entertainment. She valued his ésteem. “Do you have that Walker corre- spondence?” he asked, She had, and laid it before him. “Good girl,” he smiled at her. “You seem to know what I want these days before I know myself.” Susan flushed, deeply and rosily. This was Brn, praise, indeed, from Ernest Confusedly she Label iced her thanks, They went on with the morning’s work and nothing more of a remotely per- sonal nature passed between them. Still the glow remained. Susan felt it and Ernest Heath felt it, The man thought, “Dash it all, that’s a nice girl and a smart one, too, I shall be almost sorry to see Miss O'Connell come back.” Treason indeed this was to Miss O'Connell, who for seven years had toiled over his files, had worked overtime with- out complaint, had bought birthday presents for his wife, who bad, in fact, been the perfect model of a selfless secretary! Susan thought, “I feel a hypo- crite letting him say that.” But the glow warmed her just the same, She went about all day with the lift in her heart. It seemed a di- vine dispensation that Jack Waring had been sent to South Bend that morning. Susan had a little more time to compose herself for the or- deal of meeting him again. ‘When it actually did happen it was not nearly so bad as she had expected. The South Bend busl- ness dragged on for days and it was nut until the following week that s*> and Waring met. There was a brief interchange of greet- ings. The man was as cool and composed as if they were complete strangers. Susan, answering his “good morning” as calmly as pos- sible, began to think she had dreamed the episode of the kiss. She felt immensely relieved. “Well, that’s that,” she told her- self, What she had been dreading 80 had come to pass and proven her fears ;:oundless, Maybe life was always like that.

It was what she had ordeted today. Susan watehéd the other girl, fastinated. Ray was talking vol- ubly, “I said to Mamma, I said, ‘It's “unny but I haven't seen a thing of Susan since the night we had the double date?’” She sank her sharp, little white teeth into the appalling sandwich and con- tinued in a slightly muffled voice, “I said it’s funny, but it kinda seemed like Susan didn’t have a good time that night.” Ray's round, incredibly fringed eyes searched Susan's.

War- ing’s different. He knows his way, around, and baby, can he dance?” Susan started to speak but, dis- covering Ray’s question had been purely rhetorical and a reply was not expected, she sank back in her chair again, The monologue ¢on- tinued, “If a girl played her cards right and was really smart I think she could land Waring. He's making good money” (Susan wondered ir- relevantly what other sort of money there might be) “and I think he'd like to get married again.” eee USAN made a low sound which might have been interpreted as surprise or agreement. “Yes, h 8 funny guy,” Ray pursued, demol+ ishing the last crust and beginning on the baked beans, “He was mar- ried a long time, you know, and his wife give him the run-around, I think,” finished Ray, “if the girl was the right kind—what I mean, had a little life in her and so forth —he might turn out to be a good husband.” Demurely Susan inquired what Ray's idea of a good husband might be. Ray expounded her theory gladly. “Well, first of all, I think a man shouldn’t expect a girl ever to put her hands in dish water,” she said. “When I get married I'm going to live in a hotel and have all the meals sent up. I'm going to have 8 mink coat and a permanent wave every three months.” Not one of these,” (she touched her yellow locks disdaintully), “not one of these but an expensive one at that place on Michigan avenue. Then I want @ sporty roadster and a chow or maybe! don’t know—a Peking- ese.” Ray's expression was rapt and soulful. Susan wanted to laugh but dared not. As if inter- preting her unspoken thoughts Ray turned to her sharply. “You want to take some advice from me,” she said oracularly. “You want to work things the right way and you'll go over bis—what I mean, like a million dollars. But you can’t go out on parties and pull & long face and expect the boys to like it. No kidding!” Susan stood up, She felt she had had enough of all this. If Ray went on much longer she might have to be rude to her and sho didn’t want to do that, Ray paid her check, dazzled the fountain boy with a smile, and linked her arm companionably in the other girl's, “You mind what I say,” she fin- ished, “and you'll be sitting pretty,” (To Be Continued)
