Behind Scenes Washington| Political Inclinations ef Various Sen- Correspondent Washington, 12.—It might be easier to guess the outcome of the Senate fight over the President's Su- Court bill if the issue did not so often rest with politicians. Two major categories of uncertainty complicate any attempts at prophecy. First, outsiders are unable to tell how many senators in the pro, con and “undecided” groups are taking their positions for the purposes of trading with the and how many are swayed by their intele lectual convictions. Second, the extent to which the ad- the extent to which the latter will be All rights of republication of all other matter herein are also reserved. Silver Anniversary Friends and supporters of the Girl Scout movement in Bis- marck join today with thousands of others throughout America in the observance of the twenty-fifth anniversary of Girl Scout- ing in this country. It is an event of real importance, for this organization already has played a leading part in the contem- porary scene and its influence is likely to be enhanced, rather than diminished. ‘ Its aim, briefly stated, is to improve the girlhood of America so that the lassies of today may become the mothers, home- makers and female leaders of tomorrow and be a credit to them- selves, their parents and the organization which is playing a part in their development. Girl Scouting is not intended to replace parental care'and supervision. Far from it. Girl Scout leaders cannot reasonably be expected to do the work which should fall to mothers and fathers. The social life and activities of the Girl Scouts are not intended to replace the social life and work in the home. i But Scouting for girls IS intended to help the girl in estab- lishing an equable relationship between herself and the world and between herself and other girls. It can and has operated to give the prideful, dominant girl a sense of obligation to her sisters. It can and has operated to turn the diffident and bash- ful girl into one with the talent for making friends, one who knows by experience that she can hold her own with other girls and with the world in general. § The way in which this is done, significantly enough, is by 4 making the girl work. To advance in formal rating as well as in the esteem of her comrades, she must improve herself. Defi- nite goals are set up. Courses in things of interest are offered. The girl of today may learn to bind up the wounds of the chil- 4 dren of tomorrow through a nursing and first-aid course. She may obtain rudimentary training for becoming a charming hostess by. taking instruction in that field. Such things as sewing and cooking are not neglected. The household arts move side by side with cultivation of the social graces. The well- trained Girl Scout is quite apt to be well informed and socially gracious as well as physically fit. That is the aim and program of the organization in Bis- marck and elsewhere throughout the nation. All will agree that, it is a laudable one and that the real problem is to extend this service to more girls, particularly those from less-privileged homes, who possibly would benefit most from it. Drink Like Gentlemen Drinking in colleges, according to a recent survey, is on the increase. Yet there is less drunkenness. The reason, according to replies to a questionnaire sent to college officials and editors, is that it is coming to be consid- ered a disgrace to get “plastered.” With unlimited opportunity to drink, voluntary restriction is being placed by the individual upon the quantity consumed. The modern college man, if he drinks at all, wants it to be known that he can drink like a gentleman. Whether or not this is an improvement in the social order depends upon the point of view. Confirmed drys will view the facts with abhorrence, but others may be more complaisant. After all, the college student usually is away from home and must learn to stand on his own feet. More than anything else, he must learn to be responsible for his own conduct and must establish his own standards. It would be much better, of course, if he realized that strong drink does no one any good and would refrain from its use entirely. But if he cannot do that, the next best thing is for him to learn that drink is a dangerous thing and must be used temperately, if at all. If and when drunkenness receives the contempt from all classes of society that it deserves a real advance will have been )__made in our social standards, When the drunk man is uni- iy versally regarded as the weakling which his excess proves him to be, the nation will have taken a long stride toward the goal of voluntary teniperance which is one of the answers to the evils of overindulgence. Hail and Farewell His friends today bid goodby to the mortal remains of the _tate R. E. Anderson, killed Wednesday in an automobile acci- dent. All will mourn his passing, each in the light of his own relationship. As indicated by the resolution adopted by members of the legislature, those whose doings he recounted will miss him as 8 competent, active and fair-minded newspaperman. He told of the North Dakota scene frankly and without bias. All fac- tions of the legislature joined in tribute to him. They had their differences, but Mr. Anderson never took part in them. His friends in the newspaper business will miss him as a companion and friend. His ability as a newspaperman was taken for granted; no man could attain the position which was his without having proved his ability. Their memories of him will be those of personal friends who knew in him a gay com- » panion, a man with a genial disposition, a citizen of the world of humanity and art and letters; one who looked on life and found it good. , ___ And so it is with real regret and deep-seated grief that they - follow him to his last resting place, ‘ eee > to to the Riff.

He has persuaded Senator B, junior senator from the same state, who originally declared in favor of the plan, to reverse his position and come out against it. Political enemies say A was able to bring varied pres- sure on B, At any rate, it appears that A is willing and able to deliver two votes to the President if he can have a certain $15,000 a year federal circuit court judgeship.

He also has the possible threat to lend administration aid to have A defeated in 1938, Most insiders are betting that the ‘President will not appoint Senator A, whom he doesn’t like, to a judge- ship, and that both Senator A and Senator B will vote for the plan in the final pinch. ees Want Real Reward . The dangers of prophecy operate in both directions. Pressure also is being brought upon the. group which has declared for the supreme court change proposal. Members of that group, as well as some senators who have refused to commit themselves, are beginning to make it clearly un- derstood they expect genuine reward in return for their support. And some ot those who aren’t promised what they want are likely to be with the op- position, or conveniently absent when the final vote comes. At least two senat are staying out of town because of »” which is commonly attributed here to a sad sensitivity to painful pressure in the current backstage battle. One prominent, senator, who hi declared vehemently against the plan, has privately conceded a willingness to permit the President to appoint three new supreme court justices— but not six. He feels certain that if there were six appointments, one of the men he hates most in public life would be sure to get one of them. (Copyright, 1937, NEA Service, Inc.)

Buck; | fiddling bee, THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, MARCH 12, 1987 By HELEN WELSHIMER ‘There are few gains and many losses for women under a dictator- ship. Few deny this truth in refer- ence to Germany and the: despotic Hitler's attempt to engender mascu- line superiority by setting up @ household plan for women. There are those—and the number is legion— who contend that Russia, on the oth- er hand, is a twentieth century Canean where anatomical variations play no part in the granting of free- dom and privileges. “Germany is not a good criterion,” they say. “But what about Russia?” Yes, what about Russia? It has been announced recently that the Bolshevists, capitalizing on this new equality for women which the con- stitution guarantees, are enlisting women rapidly in the state's defens- ive system. The wives of Red army commanders have adopted a resolu- tion which calls upon every good woman in the land of the steppes to Gefend the United States of the Soviet Republic “with the last drop of your blood.” . * * * ~_ Government Backs Move ‘The conference made an attempt to be presented as a spontaneous ac- tion of army wives. The government undoubtedly was back of it, for the Commissars attended the sessions and approved, Certainly they deny that they have something in mind which will resemble Russia’s female “battalions of death” which were on the firing line in 1917. They insist that the women of the conference are organizing the Soviet states just because they want to. Women, unless an ‘abnormal life has created abnormal desires, do not want to become trained parachute jumpers and sharpshooters. There- fore, the words of one of their con- ference leaders, are sappaling. said: “We must prepare ourselves to catch the rifles from the hands of the fallen and shoot the hearts out of our: the Soviet Union women an equality of rights and bilities with men. ‘Therefore, must bear arms if they would Jobs.

French women fought on the streets of Paris during the Revolution. Their motives are easily understandable. These women acted on the spur of an emotional impulse, because of a wrong which had smol- dered within them for a long time. | Song Writer | “HORIZONTAL . Answer to Previous.
