WORDS FROM
THE LIPS OF
WISE MEN

AYO one should blame Nep-
~ tune for a second ship
~ wreck.
A crowd thinks with It's SYM
pathy, never with its reason.
Health and cheerfulness mutu-
ally beget each other.
All is but lip-wisdom which
wants experience.
When the best things are not
possible, the best may be made Of
those that are.
Our mistrust justifies the de-
ceit Of others.
Minds of moderate caliber or
dinarily condemn everything which
Is beyond their range.
He who hunts two hares will
catch neither.
Leave unsaid the wrong thing
at the tempting moment.
Never give advice unasked.
When a. man Is his own friend,
you may know him to be a friend
to all men.
To live without loving is not
really living.
We are only vulnerable and
ridiculous through our pretensions.
Error is a hardy plant-it flour
ishes in every soil.
Cut your coat according to your
cloth.
To behold Is not necessarily to
observe, and the power of COM
pairing and combining Is only to
be obtained by education.
You can commit no greater folly
than to sit by the roadside until
some one comes along and invites
you to ride with him to wealth
or influence.
Unpopularity or popularity is
utterly worthless as a test of
manhood's worth.
Self-ease IL pain, the only rest
Is Labor for a worthy end;
A toll that gains with what it
yields,
And scatters to it's own increase;
And hears. while sowing outward
fields,
The harvest song of inward
peace.-Whittier.
He 10 not only idle who does
nothing, but he is idle who might
be better employed.
He who has we'll considered his
duty will at once carry his con-
Viction into action.

There are souls and soles, but

that many divorces are caused by
hasty marriages before ascertain

1.-THE feet are more Of an index
Of character than most people
are" DIR. Brambeck asserted.
For instance, the girl with low
arches in most cases will be found
to be cruel and exactfng."
Men who are thinking or becom-
Ing benedicts should avoid q flat

fiat foot, with all the toes crowded
together by high heels and pointed
toes. indicates a shallow person
who prefers jazz to the more sub

DR.. Brambeck has examined the
feet OF many girls and says that
perfect specimens are rare.
Unusual intelligence, the love
for dancing. a perfect physique
and an unselfish disposition are
shown by the feet of Miss Lor-
raine Krogman. Of Boston, Mass,

Branbeck points out. Miss Krog-

II ONDON-Will unemployment
kill trade unionism in Eng
land? That is question
that many serious-minded labor
leaders are asking themselves.
1.-THE presence Of a large num-

weapon to weaken the position Of
men who work." warns J. r.
Clynes, Labor M. p.
Clynes declares that unless the
labor organizations grid their

about an end to unemployment

workers into an entirely supbmis-

COMING BACK

Indians are no longer vanish
ing race. They are beginning to
come back as they adopt the ways
Of civilization. America now has
about 341 900 Indians, an increase
Of 1850 in ten years.
The Indians were Injured to the
open air and harships, and sue
cumbed to civilization, and still
the longevity and health of modern
man surpas3 those of the ancient
days. Sanitation and science were
practically unknown to them. They
survived only through their hardi-
ness. physical strength. exercise
an abundance of fresh air.
The primitive age is gone, and
the Indian has adapted his Gus
toms to those Of the ruling race,
and with all the benefits Of modern
progress the descendants of the
original Americans should gain in
numbers. But the genuine Indian
is practically extinct. He has been
or is being "Americanized" just as
are the immigrants, and is becOm-
ing a product of the huge melting
pot. There are $4,000 Indian chill
dren in schools learning how to be
good citizens of the United States
But when they look at America
today, with its tremendous wealth
its world vision, must they not re-
greet the lost opportunities. Or

dom Of the past? Lansing State

Bills introduced

House bill Is, 16, II, 10, Johnson,
Pembina, (ind.) are more of the
group by which Judge J. E. Robin
son would revolutionize the present
taXations systems and court proceed
ure. House bill Is provides that "a
party appealing from a judgment
may unite in the same appeal any
other appealable order made either
before or after the judgment and no
such appeal shall be dismissed as
double"
House bill 16 would have the court
give judgments without regard to
technical errors or defects or ex-
ceptions which do not affect the SUBJ
stantial rights of parties" The pur-
pose of the law is to secure true
and substantial justice and not to
build up a nice system of technical
court practice" House bill II would
provide for redemption of chattels
sold on mortgage foreclosure within
five days by rendering the amount
brought at the sale plus seven per
cent, and provides treble damag> S
for cxtortionate demands These
three bills were assigned to the ju-
dietary committee.
The fourth Johnson Robinson mea-
sure, house bill 10, is entitled: Gan

of the law" 1t is brief, it's one sec
ton setting forth that ut is the
purpose of the law and the duty of

Bismarck needs parks. Every home
should resemble one on a small scale.
Many there are who would be anx-
Gus to beaut fy their homes, would
be glad to shoulder the initial ex-
pense of lawn, suitable trees and
hrubbery, were it not for the cost

ume of water flowing by IN the Mis-
souri, river it should be poss Bile to
obta water at minimum of cost.
The question of parks for Bismarck
can best be stimulated by making
it easy for every resident to possess
a BIT of green about his place. The
stranger sting our city with a view
to locat ng here will notice first of
all the presence, or lack, Of civic
pride evidenced by the general APP
pearance of our lawns and shrubbery.
And this general appearance hinges
largely on the water rate.

Der of contests on this very ques-
tion. This paper is not written with
view to start new controversy.

SUPER.CROOKS

of today mentally far inferior to the oldme master
minds Of crime

turned to booteggng which among crooks is considered
approaching responsibility.
booteggers customers to whom he sells stolen doc
Cred hooch pleasant to deal with than the lower
grade fences who buy the loot of conventional robberes
Another why few men of intelligence found
among modern criminals is because the wise have
realized that the mental resourcefuness necessary for
successful criminal usually pays better when applied
to legitimate pursuits.
The who invented the first gold brick for instance
high type of scientific salesman, though probably
occurred to him that who could sell brass for
gold could sell almost anything, at the north
pole
What the modern criminal lacks in intelligence, COM
pared with the crooks of generation he generally makes
willingness to commit murder without hesitation says
Pnkerton.
Today every city has breed of crooks who will kill as
days in the west
Murder and crooks willingness to dump off, his VIC
tim have become the foremost criminal problems.
In the old days when a footpad usually used black
jack piece of lead pipe his victim had chance Today
the pistol has taken the place Of blackjack and lead pipe
The average modern crook is coward unless he has

false courage necessary make him use his "gat.
Control of the drug traffic and absolute prohibition OF
pistols necessary before crime be restrained big

and crime news will become dull.
