New York, Aug. This city has
bee called melting pot. but the
pot is always boiling over. The
stream of humanity that pours in
here from foreign shores, from other
American cities and from the natural
increase of population is of a volume
too great to. be held in the present
city.
And so as the brim runs over and
families flow into the surrounding
territory new communities spring up
almost over night. This natural
spreading of the population creates
many new fortunes.

chewing gum and candy bars as a

Out Long Island way there lived a

He lived in tumble-down shack on

Much Of his land was swamp. Mod

land around him and sold 20-foot
front lots with bathing beach and
dock privileges. One of them offered
the old settler fancy price for his

divided it up into lots and, profiting

Frightened by a Name
New York WoriN

Not many years ago the cry of tainted mone:'
was heard when tiny fraction of the Rockefeller
millions offered gift to a college or church
Excited moralists protested that contamination
would pass with the donation to any institution
1t was favorite theme for popular discussion
Little has been heard of it lately.
But now in Wisconsin the issue IS raised again
in lightly changed FORM The board of regents of
the state university accepted contribution from
the Rockefeller foundation. At the annual conven-
ton OF the State Federation of Labor the secretary
OF the Socialist party, Milwaukee assemblyman
named Coleman, has demanded that the regents
be censored for receiving the gift, for, as he puts
himself on record in formal resolution, free
thought and truth denied by the acceptance
OF such gifts by university supported by the PEG
pie. He sets very low price on the honesty and
sincerity of the regents and the teaching staff he
has very inadequate idea Of the good accomplished
by funds Of the Rockefeller foundation in many
corners of the world, ii he believes what he pro
fesses.

Why Not Name Streets?

Continued complaints reach The Tribune office
because of the paucy of street numbers and street
naming in Bismarck. Confusion, delay and actual
loss of business to merchants caused because
neither the business resident streets prop
erly marked the houses generally numbered.
The Capital City always has large number of
transents which makes it especially necessary that
the streets be named and residences have numbers.
Agitation along this line has been frequent but
nothing to date has been accomplished. 1t is a
small matter of city business to be long de-
layed.

There are but few situations that
cannot be handled better with cheer
fulness than with grouchiness.
Folk resent crouch, and it is
certain that being grouchy does not
help the mind in thinking.
A grouchy parent usually finds his
children leaving home as soon as
they can get away.
A grouchy business partner may
cast the office into gloom by one Of
his sour looks. but he cannot force
better work by being grouchy.
A grOuchy sportsman finds it hard
to get partners in a game.
Grouchiness does not pay. Don't
be q crouch.

Will help
CHINA TO
GAIN ORDER
BY CHESTER H. ROwELL

Japan announces a desire to see
cxtra-territorial rights abolished in
China at the earliest possible mo-
ment, but considers the effort now
premature.
So say we all of US. No nation
| wishes to maintain its own courts
in a foreign country, and to assert
for its citizens there rights which
natives do not enjoy.
America abolished extra territorali-
ty in Japan as soon as it was as.
sured that Japan had established
courts and judicial system to which
free men used to institutions of jus.
tice could properly resort.
The world will do the same for
China, and in it America, with or
without Japan, should lead.
But only on the same conditions.
SO long as the Chinese have courts
to which they will not themselves
! willingly resort: so long as the
honestly of Chinese business rests
on the dishonesty Of Chinese courts:
! so that no one will do business with
3 man whom he might concelvably
| have to sue, so long will America
take Chinese courts at the Chinese
valuation.
The Chinese have to live with
them. or reform them. and thep have,
by keeping out of court, learned to
live with them. We do not have to
make that choice.
When the Chinese establish hon
est courts, on judicial system bas-
| ed on justice. we will submit our
selves to them. It is up to China.

Reducing the Labor Bill

from Aberdeen, s. D.. finds that the farmer is doing
