Not Easy to Advise

Dear Cyuthia--I have never written
to you before, but on this occasion I
feel that | must ask you. for | have
come to admire you for the good advice
you have given to others. Would you
advise girl to marry fellow of differ
ent nationality, even though he seems
to be unprecedented and perfect gentle
man?
/ shall be very grateful If you will
answer me, as we love each other.
BEVERLEY.
1t is almost impossible to advise in a
matter such as this when neither per
son is known to Cynthia. There are
many reasons why it is sometimes not
advisable and many reasons which
sometimes make it advisable. The real
thing necessary is great mutual love
and mutual understanding.

A Daily Fashion Talk by Florence Rose

The great ladies he painted, who wore
skirts that we're held out by heavy
metal frames.
OF course the Nelasquez skirts of to
day are not held out by any metal
framework. The most that is used is
little crinoline that would crush down
with q little pressure. One wonders
what will become of them in these days
of crowds. If you and two friends, all
three dressed with the NelasQuez sill

back seat of your sedan or limousine,
quite q little preening would be neces

of course. they would be quite out of the
question for the woman who is subjected
to the crush of subway or elevated,
crowded surface car or closing hour
congestion. Or at least if she wears
them she must reserve them for her
leisure hours.

WHAT TYPE OF AMERICAN is
HARDING?

Minneapolis Journal-Since his un.
| expected nomination at Chicago the
country has been studying Warren G..
Harding in the white light that beats
on the nominee of great party. This
white light, shining on his character
and attainments, has increased the
confidence of the public in his leader
ship.
America has had various types of
statesmen leaders. There were the
great Englishmen born in America,
like Hamilton and Madison. There
were the great provincials, like John
Q. Adams and John c. Calhoun. There
were the leaders of mixed breed like
Jefferson and Benton.
JEFFERSON was an American satu-
rated with French philosophic abstrac-
tlons. Benton was an American who
thought in terms of the Roman senate
and played the role Of the pedantic
frontiersman. And then there have
been impulsive statesmen after the
manner of Blaine and Roosevelt
Harding, as we study him, is an
American without stint or provincial
ism. He belongs neither to the ham
mer-and-tongs type, nor to the doc
trinaire or impulsive type.
lmpulsive decision, snap Judgment,
dogmatic assertion are not natural to
him. He reaches conclusions by de-
liberation rather than by intuition, and
his detectives by penetration rather
than by frontal attack.
Senator Harding welcomes counsel
and is sensitive to the drift of public
opinion. He believes in the checks
and balances of the constitution, and
his record evinces that he will never
strive to play the superman. If elect
ed, he will be president of the whole
people, and not of any one group or
section. He believes in the square
deal Of Roosevelt, and wishes to main
tain the equal opportunity that has
been the glory Of America.
He is mild-mannered, sane in thought
and persistent in purpose. He is
neither a radical nor a conservative.
but combines the virtues of the two
extremes. He has come up from the
foot of the ladder and his long expe-
rience in public life gives him a SYM
pathetic knowledge of the whole peo-
pie.

cHAMPLlN's RESIGNATION

Argus-L s-Leader-Manley Champlin, a
professor in the agronomy department
of the State. college at Brookings, has
rendered his resignation to accept a
fine position with the University Of
Saskatchewan, at Saskatoon. Canada.
There he will be senior professor of
animal husbandry at very handsome
salary which he certainly deserves.
This is an instance when Canada
puts 1t over US South Dakotans by
securing the services of one of the
ablest men who ever taught in this
state. Mr.. Champlin is not to blame
ii he finds more attractive field for
his ability and accepts the offer made
to him. The laborer is worthy of
lnis hire. In these days when ordinary
nving expenses are soaring indefinitely

work that u to enable him to provide

fairly for himself and his own, ant
also to be independent in his old age
1t is to be deplored that the state OF
( South Dakota, with its wealth and
abundant material resources, is not
able to care fittingly for those who
are training the youth of the common
wealth for future personal and civic
usefulness.
Not only is the departure from this
state of Prof. Champlin to be regretted
for its own sake, but it is a precedent
that may be followed by others, and
no one could rightly find fault with
them for going where their ability will
be suitably appreciated and substan-
TALLY rewarded. South Dakota is
known to have teachers Of exceptional
talent in its institutions. 1t will not
be long before other states or Canadian
provinces make further attempts to
obtain the services of our best
teachers.
Professor Champlin will leave be-
hind him the record of career marked
by transcendental ability in his chosen
field, faithfulness and popularity with
the students as we'll as with all who
knew him.
The best wishes of the state go with
him. His place will be hard to fill, for
he has set a high mark of efficiency
and accomplishment which is not easy
to reach.

those herds are kept up by using the
best sires to be found and discarding
the poor individuals, practice that
could be followed to advantage by
many of the breeders of South Dako-
ia. Practically these entire herds
and focks were raised by the college,
and are a concrete example of this
method of breeding.
The swine department also comes in
for criticism, not for any fault Of

achievements are shown in every de-
partment, but in our South Dakota

COAL AT MINES 50

Washington Post-Twelve dollars a
ton and upward for bituminous coal
is a crime against the American pub
lie. 1t cannot be justified upon any
other ground except the rule Of action
which governed Captain Kidd and the
late Jesse James. 1t is profteering
of the most obnoxious sort, because it
takes advantage of the absolute ne
cessity of the public for fuel and coins
that necessity into dishonest dollars.
The complaint which has aroused
the indignation of the people and
stirred the department of justice to
action is to the effect that in some
parts of the country public utilities and
other industries have been unable to
secure coal except at exorbitant rates;
that these rates range from $12 to SIS
a ton.
The operators advance what appears
to be a good alibi. They assert that
the average price of bituminous coal
at the mines is $3.50 to S4.00, and that
speculation and competitive bidding
by consumers who are forced to buy
at any price are responsible for the
fancy price quoted. The speculator,
they allege, is the man who makes the
big profit, not they.
And it must be conceded that the
report of the federal trade commits
sion, covering the bituminous coal in
dustry for the month of April, bears
out this statement. 1t shows from re-
turns of S12 operators reporting that
the average price of coal at the mines
was $3.26 a ton and the average cost
Of production $2.76, giving the opera.
tors an average gross profit of so cents
a ton. Out of this so cents must come
other charges, such as selling costs
and interests, in order to arrive at the
net profit.
All of which emphasizes the neces-
sity of ascertaining accurately who Is
responsible for the profiteering in coal
and of putting stop to 1t at once.

One unfortunate feature of the pres

additional worry to the thousands OF
mothers of the American soldiers who
are at present stationed along the

mothers of those men view with con
siderable alarm the reports that Ger

soviet and that Germany will resist
any attempt on the part of Great
Britain and France to aid the Poles by
transporting material through Ger

to read that the Reds have already
