There is individual reaction in plenty and a good deal of it takes the form! of organized effort on the theory that a job which may be too big for one person can be accomplished if there are many willing hands to help. There are few finer expressions of this spirit than the musi- cale presented Sunday afternoon in the World War Memorial building by various groups of the city. All had made special preparations for it and it served as a means by which the com- munity could judge its local talent and the progress-made from year to year. This took nothing from its main purpose, that of | bringing home to all and sundry that the spirit of Christmas is even more important than the material fact of Christmas. This was emphasized to everyone present by Rev. Robert A. Feehan in his brief talk on behalf of the Open Your Heart campaign. His reference to the fact that it is a children’s holi- day was made in such well-chosen words as to make his talk a gem of minor oratory. And'in community spirit, it should be noted, Bismarck does hot stand alone. The same attitude exists everywhere in Amer- fica. The united efforts of a free citizenry are a common device for getting things done. , A good example comes from Bottineau. At the State School of Forestry there, a chorus of 100 voices had been organized. When it was invited to sing at Rugby and Mohall recently, the question arose as to how so many could be transported on these trips. Community spirit provided the answer. Twenty-three citi- vens took time off to make the trip, furnishing the use of their putomobiles for the purpose. Similar stories could be told about the folks in every locality. Americans are an intensely practical people but they also have an instinctive understanding of the truth that man does not live by bread alone, but also by the spirit that moves him. _ Room for Just One Ism In an interesting booklet prepared by the Transportation Association of America and entitled “Labor Under the Isms” comparison is made between American wages and their buying power and the wages prevailing in other countries, It shows, for example, that the average American worker must labor a few minutes more than an hour to provide the food for the average family of two adults and three children, whereas in Italy he must labor five hours; in Germany nearly four and in England more than two. The answer, of course, is that in those other countries the average family gets neither as much nor the same quality of food as the American family enjoys. Bread, macaroni and cheap red wine, the main items of diet in Italy, may seem ro- mantic to the onlooker but they are hard to live with day by day. Another comment from this.little booklet is worth repro- ducing. It says: “Communism, Fascism and Socialism are just different labels on bottles containing various proportions of the same patent medicine. “Socialism is but a forerunner of Communism. “Fascism is a form of receivership for society that has moved up tothe brink of Communism, “Communism abolishes property rights, individual rights, political Mberty and independence of the courts. Under Communism one is born @ slave, lives a slave and dies a slave, “All of the ‘Isms’ rely on raw power, or force.” There follows an analysis of labor conditions in the coun- smarck Tribune 3| Biblical times.

The general public is invited to at- tend this performance. There is no charge. Invitations also have been extended to the school authorities in Mandan and to the teaching and stu- dent personnel of St. Mary's. The time of the play is that of the first Christmas eve and the costumes, which have been made by a group of Playmaker girls under the direction of Miss Leal Edmunds, are those’ of have been designed from a costume brought from Jerusalem by Miss Rita Murphy of the high school faculty when she visited the Holy land a few years ago. Lois Erdahl is mistress of the wardrobe and Rufus Lumry chair- man of the staging committee. Much of the beauty of the play depends on the lighting effects, which are the; most difficult yet executed by the Playmaker technical staff. ‘Miss Louise Johnson is directing the play, whose cast includes several who appeared in last year’s performance. The Playmaker girls who will march in the concluding vested condlelight procession are Lorraine Berg, Dolores Brier, Audrey Cave, Constance Cole, Hazel Engdahl, Lois Erdahl, Doris Fe- | vold, Jean Gillette, Beverly Jensen, Norma Keuhn, Lydia Langer, Eliza- beth Ritterbush, Kay Spohn, Wanda Swenson, Jean Truman, Camille; Wachter, Beatrice Hendricks and| Shirley Lasken.

This despite the fact that an ob- vious effort to be both fair and factual is made in reviewing con- ditions in Russia, Italy and Germany. It is sincerely to be hoped that this little brochure will have wide distribution among both employes and employers. After all, they are equally beholden to AMERICANISM, not only for what it has done in the past but as their hope for the future. And a comparison of Americanism with any other form of ism shows the balance so strongly on the Americanism side that a new pledging of fealty will be the inevitable result. No Wire-Tapping , Members of the supreme court who differed on the ques- tion of wire-tapping in red-hot opinions the other day, probably will find just as acute a division in public opinion. And, strangely enough, Justices McReynolds and Suther- Jand, those two stalwarts of the court, probably will be surprised eal ous to find themselves receiving the plaudits of many who hereto- fore have regarded them as old fogies. It was they who of- fered the dissenting opinion and contended that department of justice agents were within the law when they tapped.the tele- phones of a bootlegging gang. But regardless of the universal feeling that law officers should be permitted to use all of the weapons available in their campaign against crime, the decision of the majority probably was right. The point is that the law prohibits wire tapping and that the law was enacted for the protection of the private citizen. It vi makes no exception of wire-tapping by police authorities—and it shouldn’t. For if it is permissible to tap the wires of a boot- legger it is permissible to tap the wires of any individual. Nevertheless, such methods are necessary if the highly- organized, well-financed criminal gangs are to be brought to book. They use modern methods and the police can hardly do their job effectively if their activities are too closely circum- scribed. The result is to toss society on the horns of an old dilemma. ft boils down to whether the end justifies the means. What makes it pertinent to the average individual is that once an idea is established it easily can be extended, And the tapping of boot- leggers’ wires may lead to the tapping of those upon whom the| tne te government wants to check for reasons much less laudable|°% the church will than those of ‘law-enforcement. ‘ King,” a custom of the church, again | too late to be repaired for Christmas will be carried out this year as mem- | of 1936, but most of them have been bers of all departments of the church brought by junior and senior high school will have an opportunity to do-|school students during the last 10 nate canned goods and food for the | days, ‘ needy and for the free bed patients of] In another corner of the shop sev- the Methodist hospital in Mandan. eral boys have been constructing and The program is divided into two| painting scenery for “Gloria” and for parts, the first part including the|the junior high school Christmas pageant.
