Self-Contained Community Bismarck last week enjoyed what might almost be termed @ local pre-view of the National Music Week observance set for May 8 to 9, what with presentation by the junior high school of its operetta and the first formal concert of Bismarck’s new Men’s Chorus, These things proved, as nothing else could, the advance which music has made in Bismarck and point the way toward further developments which will make this city socially self- gontained from the standpoint of entertainment. It is not that traveling professional shows and entertainments are not avail- able but merely that they do not come frequently enough and that the community cannot afford many of them. In this field, as in that of athletics, there is a difference between participation and appreciation. There are few to deny that the former is the most important, for more good comes to the individual and to the community from participating in a worthwhile enterprise than from merely patronizing it. The men’s chorus, if the truth were known, is merely an- ther development of the trend inspired by the departure of the road show from the American stage and of the development which has taken place in our schools. The cast of the Mikado, recently presented by the junior high school, contains the ecruits for the future men’s chorus and for many other similar organizations. The juvenile band is a training ground for Bis- marck’s really excellent little symphony orchestra and the numerous school dramatic groups are a source of talent for the Community and Cathedral Players. Interest is whetted by the fact that those who participate get more pleasure than those who merely watch. Practice ses- sions have a real social value. Community understanding is improved and the basis laid for a lifelong enjoyment of a talent which soothes in time of trouble, helps peace to replace stress. For that music lifts up the soul is indisputable. The old saying of “Let me write a nation’s songs, I care not who writes its laws” still holds true. The spread of this sort of community enterprise to the rural districts is emphasized by the current activity in dra- matics and the playmaking contests to be held here soon. It will be surprising, indeed, if some outstanding talent is not uncovered by these affairs. The culmination of these varied forces will be a higher and more general culture for the entire community; more complete development of the gentility which is native to everyone; the establishment of a condition wherein the community will be cul- turally self-contained. Unfortunate Oversight State’s Attorney A. R. Bergeson of Cass county did the entire state a service when he called attention of the state par- don board to the fact that he and District Judge M. J. Englert had not been notified of the application of A. B. Berenson, Fargo liquor law violator, for a parole. Berenson was convicted by Cass county authorities after the expenditure of much time and money. As pointed out by Bergeson, he had a long record before going to the penitentiary. In view of these facts it would seem that the pardon board has a right to hear both sides of the case before taking action on an application for clemency. It may be that prison life gives them a lot of time to think. Behind Scenes Washington Will “Lady From Louisiana” Adopt Huey’s Pyrotechnic Style? . Politics No Novelty to Her. . Link to Norway Planned ... F. D. R. Jr., Also Facing Hard Budget Task «++ Now for Subs for Postal Subs. By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, Mar. 2—“The Lady From Louisiana,” as senate colleagues now address Huey Long’s widow, is the source of @ great deal of specula- tion here. Everybody wonders whether she will make any attempt to carry on Huey's campaigns with anything like his “fury and fireworks” style. Mrs. Long’s obvious gentility and quiet poise make that very unlikely. Those who know her well doubt that she has had any great familiarity with Huey’s acts, policies, and associates in late years. But that was not always true. In the days when Huey was running for his first public office, that of railroad commissioner, the Kingfish himself told how “my headquarters were established in the small resi- dence of my father-in-law in Shreve- port, from which my wife, with the help of my family and friends in the neighborhood, mailed out literature and answered letters. “Although my first child was only ® year old,” Huey continued, “my wife conducted my campaign head- quarters with courage and efficiency.” xe k Not Political All of which goes to show that “The Lady From Lousiana” is not entirely without knowledge of what it’s all about in the dust of the political arena, It is further related of Mrs. Long that in those early days she often mingled with the audience when Huey was speaking, and flashed him signals telling him when he was doing all right and when he was flopping. Despite such practical experience many years ago, the prevalent opinion here is that Mrs. Long’s appointment for a term of a few months is a ges- ture in Long’s memory by the machine he created, and little else. A special election in April will de- cide who is to fill out the remainder of Long’s term, which expires next January. It is regarded as highly un- likely that the late Kingfish’s political associates would send to Washington anyone likely to threaten the power to which they ph fallen heir. * . Air Norwegian Air Link Just to show you what ramifications there are in the plans for trans-At- lantic air service: Bernt Balchen, the famous pilot for Byrd and Ellsworth, now technical advisor to Norwegian Airways, has been here recently help- ing to arrange a feeder service from Norway to America through the Pan- American trans-Atlantic line, when it’s established. That means a con- necting link northward from England at the eastern end of the ocean line. * * # Penalty of Fame There may be a little frantic audit- ing of check stubs at the White House one of these vacation times. If so, that'll be on account of Franklin De- lano Roosevelt, Jr., who has visited a number of Broadway restaurants and night clubs recently. Mostly he paid by check. But restaurant keepers didn’t de- posit the checks. They framed ‘em and hung ‘em on their walls. So Franklin, Jr., may have some little difficulty in balancing his own budget when he sits down to audit his stubs. But Washington is full of amateur budget-balancers these days. He should have no trouble in getting all the help he wants. ee * How About Subs’ Subs? One thing accomplished by putting the postoffice department on the 40- hour week was this—it cleaned up the Jong and troublesome problem of post- al substitutes. Though they had to be on call, and hence could not well hold other jobs, few of them made a decent living. The 40-hour week caused most of the subs on the list, which had run as high as 15,000, to be absorbed into regular jobs. That solves the problem, allows William W. Howes, first assistant postmaster- ‘At any rate it is true that men convicted of crime frequently |#enet# tell convincing stories. The curious thing about them is that they frequently are at variance with the facts as developed at the trials at which they were convicted. . Under the law, prisoners have the right to be represented by counsel at pardon board hearings and frequently take ad- tvantage of the privilege. Many of them never see any of their meager prison earnings, most of their money going to lawyers employed to work for their release. Under these circumstances, the people have a right to be heard also. Failure of the board, inadvertent though the omission was, to notify the Cass county authorities that Berenson’s case would be heard is a lamentable one. Care should be exercised to see that such oversights are not repeated, Profit From Marshes These last few years have taught North Dakota that water on the farm is an invaluable asset, if for no other reason be- cause it insures a drinking supply for animals. But researches by the federal department of agriculture show that an acre under water can be turned into cash as surely and as profitably as an acre under cultivation. Some marsh lands, it was found, are capable of producing five or more muskrats per acre, in addition to other wildlife. “On this basis the muskrat pelts alone, at present market prices, would yield $7 to $14 an acre each season.” The prices quoted are either those paid in the vicinity of Washington, D. C., or an average for the nation and do not necessarily apply to North Dakota, but if they are anywhere ‘near correct it appears that the growing of a muskrat crop is 28 profitable as grain farming—and a great deal easier. Add to this the possibilities of revenue from other wildlife and it would seem that water conservation can be very good business.
