HUSBAND0F
MISSDUNCAN
Is SUICIDE
Russian Poet, Whom the
Dancer Divorced Il Year
Ago, Takes Own Life

New York, Dec. 29.-P)-S Sergei
Yessinin, the eccentric Russian poet,
has committed suicide in Moscow.
He was the divorced husband of Isa-
dora Duncan, the classic dancer.
Yessinin was about 80 years old
some 10 younger than Miss Duncan.
They were married in 1922 and the
wife divorced him last year. Short
~ after the wedding the young Boil
shevik writer came to the United
States with the dancer.
Miss Duncan went on dancing
tour. but was barred from appear
ing in several places because of the
scantincss Of her attire and the add
Cd fact that she was won't to wrap
4 red flag about her.
IesSinin accompanied his wife on
the tour and seemingly was mild
hammered youth. Then stories be-
gan to break about his pugnacious-
ness when he partook too freely of
the flowing bowl.
Was a Scrapper
At 4 party here Yessinin was de-
clared to have blackened the eyes Of
Miss Duncan, which prevented her
from carrying out one Of her pro-
grams. A similar incident was re-
ported later. from Paris, and the
dancer was declared to have shipped
him pOst-hastc back to Russia. Be-
fore departing he engaged in fist
cuffs with Il couple of ex-Russian
soldiers.
Yessinin got in trouble with the
police in Moscow for alleged anti
semitic speeches and spent some
time in prison. Miss Duncan, who
also had returned to Russia, insti-
tutcd a divorce suit under the Soviet
law and was freed from YcsSinin.
She is declared to have said that he
was impossible" and that "moon-
shine" had made him crazy.
Children We're Drowned
Al! has not been rosy for Miss
duncan. She has been barred from
giving performances in the United
States, in Germany, in England and
other countries.
Her greatest sorrow, however, came
in April, 1923, when her two chill
drcn were drowned in the river
Seine. They were riding in their
mothers automobile, accompanied d
by maid. The chauffeur descend
cd from the car to remedy some trou-
bic and the machine started and
ran over the cmbankment and plung-
cd into the river. The children were

At The Movies
Ar THE CAPITOL.

If you can imagine Il tWc!vc-Whccl-
drive locomotive crashing into and
overturning 4 Pullman car, you have
an idea Of the kind of railroad smash
that occurs in Cecil B. De Miles
personally directed production, "Thc
Road to Yesterday" which comes to
the Capitol Theatre for three days,
commencing wednesday,.
Believing in doing things right, De
Mile had built for his purposes in
this Producers Distributing Corpor-
alton release Il duplicate of the k4
passenger engine, over so feet in
length.
AS retakes were practically impos
sible in this scene, the famous di-
rector took every precaution to make
a successful Photographic reproduc-
tion of this spectacular catastrophe.
The screen version of this story
was made by Jcanie Macpherson, one
Of the highest paid sccnarists in the
film industry, in collaboration with
Bculah Marie Dix, from an old stage
success of. twenty years ago. 1t is
the initial De Mile personally di-
rectcd production since this screen
genius joined the ranks of the indc-
pendent producers, and features in
its cast such stage and screen cc-
lcbrities as Joseph Schildkraut, Jctt;
Goudal, William Boyd, Vera Rcy-
nolds. Julia Faye, Trixic Friganza and

SOAKING THE COUNTRY NEWSPAPERS

The legislature is hardly under way before
country newspapers in North Dakota receive for public
printing Already bill is suggested to do away with
the printing of delinquent notices. Two years after
county legal newspaper suggested the legislature
correct what the newspapers themselves considered an
overcharge on one item netficiency in drawing pre-
bill in the legislaturesevera members repaid this
honest effort by seeking to cut still further the charges for
legal printing. r.
in the Legislative lobbies but too often they have
stressed the value of these papers the political factions
and have not stressed sufficiently the business side of public
printing The publicity given to public business through
legal printing is about the cheapest investment made by
mental affairs knows the insufficient lazy sluggish corrupt
office holder fears pitless publicity more than ne fears
the penenary The honest official welcomes publicity
The requirement to publish proceedings of official boards
reports and similar publications is the best
anee the taxpayers have against oong of the public treas
ury 1t the best preventive of salaries and
necessary jobs loaded Taxpayers 1t requires the public
official to keep his ORDER he may show them
to the public To do away with printing delinquent tax
notices would offer the way for little combines collision
and fraud Then too pride which to hesitate
to his name in print as delinquent taxpayer often
greater incentive to pay taxes than avoidance Of penalty
The country newspapers have ample ground for demand
ing fair compensation for legal printing and for demanding
that public business as far as possible be made public They
need to become mendicants political papseekers
in o'ter to press home their case.
IN passing however, the political side of the might
BE lotcd When the political strife bterest in this
state each faction loaded praises their respective co
vnced their the best interests of the state
often fought until they fought themselves out of existence
they departed from the true OF newspaper
the heat of battle cleared however, there were
politicians of both sides ready to slash the threats of these
country newspapers. Leaders the Independent side in
legislature years ago ready to do this and
TALLY succeeded. At that time the prediction made
that the Independent would suffer 1t did suffer- be-
cause primary and fall campaign the Independ
weekly newspapers of the state did not support their
candidates Fundamentally in the past The politicians
had bitten the hand that feeding them And the In
dependents lost power.
The warfare such printing touches the city daily
newspapers of the state rather lightly They have
diversified business The Tribune therefore, is able and

wish you were here, for l am in

that he had gone to bed one night

this to Leslie.
Mrs. Atherton is an old girlhood
friend of Leslie's but since her mar
riage Sally has been very busy earn
ing her living, you know, and they
have grown apart. Leslie, however,
got Sally her position with her hus-
band and Mrs. Atherton is very
grateful to her for this. They still
are very fond of each other, Il think.

UNEMPLOYMENT
INSURANCE

OF these proposed forms of insur-
ance, that against unemployment is
doubtless the most popular, but
health insurance is really much more
urgent. ~
The first remedy for unemplo
ment is employment. We need to go
much further in that direction be-
fore we are ready to cover the ire
movable remainder by insurance.
Old age never comes to the young,
and it does come to US all unless we
die first.
Individual thrift is one possible
provision against it, and public
charity is not an intolerably de or
alizing temporary remedy, pendil a
better system.
But none of these things applies
to sickness. Some years ago, under
the inspiration of Roosevelt, a wave
of workmen's compensation acts
spread over the country, and thereby
ended the shame of industry Dump
ing its human wreckage on charity.
Then we stopped. Public health
engineering is doing marvels, in the
way of preventing publicly preventa-
BILE suffering. But, individual sick
ness, disabling the breadwinner and
making the landlord and the grocer
figures Of, terror, is still the great
est single cause of restitution.
