It was important for the spirit of self-criticism which marked analysis by the association’s board of directors of the needs of the city and the program for the coming year. It is easy, very easy; to fall into a rut. When blessings come to us without our own effort, as they have to Bismarck, we are prone to accept them as a mat- ter of course. One might almost say as a matter of right. One result of this is that we fail to make the most of them. | Anything can be improved by a little work and friendly co- operation. If any of the hundreds of persons who have come to Bismarck to live within the last few years leaves with the fidea that this is a cold and smug community we have failed to make the most of an opportunity. What people think and feel in their hearts dictates their actions, and any person's thinking about a city is influenced by his experiences there. If a woman coming to Bismarck has trouble in getting ac- quainted, if people seem indifferent to her as an individual and pass by on the other side of the street, she can not be blamed for feeling that she isn’t overly welcome. Men, to a lesser de- gree, might have the same feeling.

Sell “Approved” Account- ing Systems Which Are Not Re- quired of Employers ... Affilia- tion of Workers With Unions Fer- reted Out With Bogus Question- naires, By RODNEY DUTCHER | (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, Jan. 23.—Although the national social security program calls for no tax collections until next year, racketeers are starting early. Both employers and employes already are being victimized through misrepres- entations of its requirements. One racket is the persuasion of em- them are so complicated and difficult accounting systems—and even for special business machines. Some agents are selling systems of accounting alleged to be “approved” by the Social Security board, whereas there actually aren't any special au- thorized or approved systems. At social security headquarters it is insisted that no more accounting is required for federal unemployment tax records than the ordinary em- ployer goes through in compiling his payroll, The facts required are chief- ly the number of employes. names, amount of money paid, and when {employes worked. | Old age benefit reports will require little more information, chiefly as to ages of individuals.

It gets from the realm of what might be to what it is proposed to do and how to go about it. é But as for the spirit of the Association and the prime ob- jective of its members, these were best stated by Governor Walter Welford when he called attention to the fact that un- less the farmers harvest a crop it is going to be as hard on the businessman as upon them. Apostle of Moderation Reviews of George V’s reign are a good deal more inter- esting than biographies of his life—and much more instruc- tive for the residents of a democracy. ; Coming to power just before the war he held his empire together throughout the stresses and strains of that period. Much more exacting were the difficulties which followed the war when economic dislocations and political theories creat- ed unrest in England just as:they did here. Through it all the King was England’s greatest healing and ameliorative agent. He toned down the radicals who came to power with the Labor government, poked up and stimulated ' to mild progressivism the Conservatives who took their place. If the English people suffered he suffered with them. There was never any question as to his interest or his desire to 4mprove conditions. In short, he was a moderate throughout his life, not too progressive nor too conservative. His naval training may have been responsible. One can do only certain things with a ship—and he had BETTER KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING BEFORE HE STARTS TO Do IT. The king evidently applied that theory throughout a long and useful life. He knew his nation could not stand still and that it also was dangerous to rush full speed ahead, The fogs of uncertainty were no different to him than the fogs which i Sometimes shroud the sea. His method of meeting each was 4 the same. If the people of a republic can learn anything from a king it is to be moderate, to keep the spirit of progress alight but to go ahead cautiously. They’re Wide Open Considerable interest has been aroused by the recent ex- change of opinions on the farm relief question by readers of The Tribune through its columns, Correspondents differ on details but all agree that agriculture must have a better! deal than it used to get in comparison with industry and trade. (There is no lack of harmony as. to the principle. ° The Tribune is glad to print thege letters and thereby give fits readers an opportunity to express their views.

The question- naire then proceeds to ask if the em- ploye is a union member and, if so, of what union; address, telephone num- ber, religion, ownership or rental of home, and many other personal de- tails. The SSB says it hasn't asked em- ployers for any information concern- ing individual employes. It has set up an information service to answer all questions of employers and em- ployes in case of doubt as to such re- quirements. ee OR Nine Justices Agree! This will be news to you, but the U. S. Supreme Court suddenly seemed to be unanimous on an issue the other day. The case was that of three Missis- sippi Negroes named Ed _ Brown, Henry Shields, and Yank Ellington, who contend they shouldn't be hanged on the basis of a false murder con- fession obtained by torture. The torture is admitted. But the Mississippi supreme court refused to interfere, because the defendants’ lawyers hadn't objected in the proper words at the proper time. One by one, the nine justices leaped —often in indignation—upon the un- happy lawyers representing the state in opposition to the appeal. Justice Roberts, author of vigorous anti-New Deal opinions, seemed especially angry. During discussion of the trial judge's instructions to the jury concerning the torture evidence, Justice Van De- vanter suddenly and heatedly de- manded: “Do you mean to infer here that that’s a good instruction? Well, Tl tell you why it’s not! .. .” “Well, now, just a minute!” inter- rupted Chief Justice Hughes as state counsel said nothing could be done about it when defense counsel re- fused to take advantage of its rights in time, “You admit the original confessions were obtained by torture and that they were the only evidence. You are arguing ... that this is not a denial of due process of law. That’s your case, isn’t it?” The court ignored Mississippi’s pro- cedural points. After its unique de- monstration of unanimous feeling, former Governor Brewer of Missis- sippi, appearing for the Negroes, felt quite confident. (Copyright, 1936, NEA Service, Inc.)

They may lodge elsewhere, say in a joint, or in the gall- sac or in the wall of the stomach, and set up secondary trouble. It seems strange that any one should tolerate decay in the teeth in these days of skilled dentistry. Foolish economy to neglect a cavity. (Copyright, 1936, John F. Dille Co.)

Tonight Dana found it un- usually pleasing. woe ‘T was while she was talking to Ronnie that Dana igoked up and found Nancy staring at her. There was something co strange in Nancy’s eyes that Dana was star- tled. All of the old antagonism was back in Nancy's gaze. ft was tidiculous to think that. yet it war ‘Tue. What in the world was back of it? Did Nancy think she war taving a flirtation with Ronnie? “It she only new,” Oana thought, amused, “that there gsp't @ man in the world except Scott I'd look at twice.” The guests stayed late. Finatty Paula insisted they must all go on to her place to play roulette on her new miniature table. Nancy refused. giving some ex cuse and Ronnie begged off because he was leaving town early in the morning. it ended with Ronnie taking Nancy home. leaving Ted free to go with the others to Paula's. When the door closed behind ber guests Dana walked slowly into the kitchen. Azalea had left everything as neat as a pin. and a low olaze was keeping Scott's dinner warm It had been a successful party And Scott had not even arrived for the tail end of the festivities It had ali deen planned for him. and be might as well have been at the north pole. Dana told herself she was being a poor sport. After all, it hadn't been any fun for Scott to have to rush away and then eat his birth. day dinner alone. She was in this mood of pent. tence when she met Scott at the door at 2. ‘COTT was tired, disheveled. sleepy But he was pleased. im mensely pleased.

Dana thought, as though a baby had Rever been born before. “Fine young beggar.” he said. “Weighed eight pounds. two ounces. No wonder he gave me so much trouble. And could he yell! “And what do you think, Dana?” Scott went on. “When Mrs. Law son heard that it was my birthda: nothing would do but that the youngster should be named for me —Scott Lawson. Not a bad aame. what?” : . “1 didn’t say anything.” Dana teased. She was back in bed now Sitting up. watching Scott who sprawled negligently at the foot “But of course.” Dana conceded. “it’s really a beautiful name.” “Of course ft is.” Scott bragged. Dana curved her lips in e@ for- giving kiss. “You may kies me because I'm rather fond of you— all the same.” Scott kissed her, giving her a bear hug at the same time. “Why the supplementary phrase?” Scott inquired carelessly. evidently not understanding that he was being forgiven. Evidently not realizing there was anything to forgive! Then, not waiting to be answered. he said, "Gosh. am I tired! But it was @ great. big, beautiful battle while 4 tasted.” Dana said disdainfully. “What's So great. big and beautiful about it? Babies get born every day.” “Not the 1 get ‘em bora.” Scott replied, boastfully. “Oh, well.” said Dana sleepily, “skip the details till . oreakfast. Then we'll decide what we're go- cing to give that youngster as a (birthday present.”_ by Mary Raymone SHE had lived up to that vow of hers never to interfere with Scott's profession. After all. a birthday party was only a birth- day party. But Dana did-want, when the time came. to suggest delicately to ‘Scott that when he had a birthday luncheon or any other kind of luncheon with a woman friend. he’ might let ber in on it. Deep down, some instinct of cau- tion warned Dana that it would be wiser to say nothing at all about that tuncheon with Paula. But the temptation was too strong. She had no opportunity to men- tion the subject until the next eve- ning. Scott was manfully aiding im the kitchen. stacking dishes that belonged on a high ehelf. when Dana said. “Paula said you tad luncheon with her yesterday.” “Yes. Mrs. Marston. a friend of hers, called me in. { suspect Paula recommended me to her.” “And thes “you went to Paula's for luncheon.” “That's right.

He shot a look at Dana. who was busy wip ing the already spotless front of the enameled stove. “You didn't mind my having luncheon with Paula did you?” Scott asked in amazement. “No. Only I wish you had told me about it before Paula did.” she said. “There goes my old ball and chain.” Scott jeered. Dana flushed. She had sounded stuffy. “I really didn’t mind sour having luncheon at Paula's. 1 think.” Dana went on. “but it wae having her tell ft at the party. as though she bad achieved some thing.” Scott laughed. “That's like old Paula.

Dulsive words. Scott said. slowly, “Well. for us, reason—” and then stoppec. Dana asked. her clear eyes on his, “What reason?” Scott hesitated. A man dido’t disclose professional secrets — or shouldn’t—even to his wife. After all, it was only an ugly suspicion that he had about Paula. “Oh, nothing.” he said, carelessty. Dana did not pursue the subject. But a shadow, no bigger than o woman's hand. tay between them. (To Be Continued) “But Pauls
