WHEN OLD MEETS NEW

An auto coided in a city street with delivery
truck drawn by two magnificent white horses.
The rear wheel Of the auto locked fast to the
inner side of front wheel Of the wagon.
The driver stopped the horses across the street
railway tracks.
We all got out to give advice. We did it. All
at once. At the top of our lungs.
The big horse next the auto showed his teeth
1t looked like an angry smile of contempt.
Bang! Bang! the big horse rained kicks on the
side of that auto
It took daring man to unhitch that team!
What an illustration! The old order raining
useless kicks on the new! .--

women bearing a beautiful OMS Glory

and then they fell into the glide of the
side-step which looks foolishly' easy
but which proves too much for white
muscles and endurance. Around and
around went this circle Of national
color, rarely beautiful. There was a
tragically pathetic element in this
beautiful drama, when as they were In

WITH THE EDITORS
WORTH THINKING OVER

The eccentricities of Judge Robinson, of the
North Dakota supreme court, have provoked not
little merriment outside the state and have been
the cause of some humiliation within it. Never
theless there have come from this source state
ments marked by strong common sence. In Judge
Robinson's unofficial statement of his views with
reference to the adoption of the five proposed
amendments which failed to receive majority of
all the votes cast at the November election there is
matter which merits the thoughtful attention Of
every citizen of the state.
Concerning the requirements of the law the
Judge merely states the obvious when he main
tains that the law means what it says, and not
something else, and that the proposed amendments
which did not receive a majority of all the votes
cast have not been approved. 1t is true that the
court may, if it chooses declare all these amend
ments adopted. But the judge reminds his readers
that court composed of other judges, may at any
subsequent time reverse such decision, invali-
dating all action taken under the original decision
Such state of affairs would be utterly demoraliz-
ing and is pointed out it would be necessary for
purchasers of bonds issued under these disputed
provisions to act at their own risk and to have
in mind the probability that their purchases would
later become valueless .. .-
Judge Robinson tenders some wholesome advice
to the Nonpartisan league and the members of the
legislative assembly at the approaching session.
AS he says, the fact that the senate was not in
favor of the Townley program two years ago has
made it possible for the boss of the league to place
on the senate all the burden of responsibility for
his failure to get results This time the leaguers
will be in control of both houses. They can enact
any legislation that they desire. Those responsible
for the election of these members will expect them
to make good Failure to do 20 will be assuredIy
be followed by retirement to private life. It will
be worth WHILE for the legislators to think that
ever, and also to remember that making good
doesnot eonaiat in getting Iotof fr6ak bills either

WHERE'S US?

There's little girl, five years old, now in an
eastern city, who has travelled thousands of miles
from city to city and from hotel to hotel in the
past two years.
Every morning on arising she repeats this talk
to her elder sister-mother is in the silences:
where's big brother?"
"Gone out" says sister.
where's little brother?"
Gone out, too
where's daddy?'
"Gone to work."
where's Us?'
It's good to know where you're at now isn't it ?
THIS IS ABOUT THE MISTAKES OF TELE.
PHONE GIRLS
There are nearly 100000 telephone girls in the
United States
They answer about 80, OO0, 900 phone calls every
day.
They probably make about three mistakes each,
per day, or 100000 in all.
That is, 63, 10000 errors every week.
In so per cent, or 81, 100000 of these cases. the
victim is man. who uses not less than 8 profane
and 6 abusive words to the telephone girl, or a
total of 81 900 peevish words daily, total of
1900, 600 words per week.
This Niagara Of language helps make the tele-
phone girl more and more nervous, and more and
more likely to make more mistakes. That's the
way with everybody, men, women and children.

She's often a heroine. She warned the victims

Sometimes she sizzles-and strikes because of

opportunity to come with our gifts to the only

The troubles of child seem very great to child

come back any more. Or your papa was poor.
And you hung up your stocking on Christmas eve.
And there were holes in it. And you tied them up
with bits of string. And you knelt down and
prayed for Santa Claus to come. And you went to
bed And you woke up with the first streaks of
light And you jumped out of bed And you ran
with eyes alight to the nail in the door. And you

Washington, July 13.-News of the dispatch of British endorsements to Siberia to support the Czeho-Slovaks and Russians controlling vladisvostok and long stretch of the trans-Si- berian railroad was received here to- day through official channels. Ap- parently whatever may come of plans for allied military intervention in Rus- sia on a great scale, the Czecho-Slo- walks are to be given by the allies the aid necessary to prevent them from being crushed by Bolshevik forces operating with released Ger man prisoners.
 What British forces have been dis patched is not known here, nor is 1t clear whethher the movement Is part of a general plan of action determined upon in the absence of American ap- proval and cooperation in an inter- vention program.

Washington, July 13.-No official
 cognizance is being given here to the,

 Committee of the Reichstag. The chancellor's declaration that Germany simply is holding Belgium . as pawn for negotiation attracted

 to regain her lots co lonies. The chancellor's statement that his willingness to discuss peace was shar-

Washington. July 13.-Chairman Edward N. Hurley of the Shipping Board today let a contract for the construction of 12O,OO0 tons of steel ships in the Chinese government yards at Shanghai
 Washington officials regard this move by the chairman of the Ship piag Board as good business and diplomatic stroke and an important factor in cementing and utilizing the strength that is really arrayed against i'russian autocracy. China, with her teaming millions. has for many years found her best friend in the United States and is an ally of this nation aud the others at war with Germany Thus far only her moral support has been given to the allies, but sh., has been anxious to play useful part in the war and especially on behalf of the United States.
