The Carroll Party
(ChicaYO Tribunel

While perjury is in itself not precisely q minor
error, suspect that Mr. Earl Carroll was convicted
not because he lied like gentleman" but because
he had committed an offense against common DEF
cency which only very low standard of conduct can
tolerate. The affair he seems quite deliberately to
have planned not only vicious in morals but
disgusting. That it did not turn the stomach as
well as outrage the moral sense of several well
known figures in world of the theater is very
unpleasant aspect of the trial. Lying like gentle
men was about the only expression Of gentility to
be observed in the affair The disclosed pretty
complete lack of any vestge Of either gentleness or
decent manhood.
These malodorOus disclosures may be taken too
seriously evidence of the moral atmosphere of
great city, but they cannot be taken too seriously
Tor what they evidence Of moral degeneration in
some aspects OF contemporary life in America. A
similar degeneration has existed in other countries
in past times and exists today elsewhere, but that

if possible, eradicate it,

there is no justification now for swinging from
prudishness to prurience. The unwholesomeness OF
Comstockism does not justify the unwhOlesomeness
which IS poisoning good deal Of our theatrical
tertainment and popular periodical literature. A
genuine cult Of beauty and health is one thing; the
commercialization Of sexuality Is another.
The cure Is not Comstockism but decent public

are discovered the punishment Of the guilty

Editorial Comment
The stop" Crossings
THE jamestown SUM-

There is one law in North Dakota which is almost
universally violated by motorists. This law is the
which provides that all persons before crossing
certain railroad crossings shall come to full stop
before proceeding the railroad tracks. All
such crossings have been carefully inspected by the
state railroad commission and stop" signs erected.
Out of five thousand crossings in the state,
only hundred fifty have been officially desg-
mated stop" crossings. This is only about three
per of the total, it would seem that there is
excuse for the violation of the law.
The Sun is of the opinion that the law is being
violated because motorists do not know that the
stop" signs at certain crossings mean that it is
illegal to the tracks without first coming to
full stop The observance of this law is obvious
~ for the personal protection Of the motorist and
for the safety of his family and friends who may be
riding with him, that it should be observed without
the necessity of arrests, fines Or imprisonment.

Reason For Pride

Bismarck, i'm common with the entire Slope coun-
try, is enjoying steady growth which is especially
reflected in the building expansion in this city Both
in the business and residential sections the grOwti
is noticeable particularly to visitors, who report
Bismarck North Dakota's fastest growing city.
The city presents an appearance that impresses
progressive and substantial growth upon the tran
sients. There is nothing Of speculative nature in
the growth of this city. Housing conditions today
far below the actual demand. and if living &C
commodatons could be secured many families would
come here to live who unable to find suitable
living quarters.
Addition of modern clinic building reflects the
place this city occupies in the medical affairs of
the northwest. The Quan & Ramstad building will
be the most modern in the state.
Additions to both the hospitals of Bismarck within
the last year reflect growing clientele and give
bismarck unique place in medical centers OF
the northwest.
Expansion Of the telephone business has material
evidence in the erection of fine modern building by
the, Northwestern Bell Telephone company. In
creased traffic calls for better service and Of

ne just 4 lew laps anea0 OF the demand IN this re-
spcct in order to provide elbow room and opportun-

Probably Of the outstanding features Of Bis
marck's building program the number Of new
garages either completed recently in progress of
erection Bismarck is ideally located as a dis
tributng center and its growth along jobbing lines
has just begun. A few years will witness a Won
derful development in this direction.
Alterations and improvements to existing plants
in the city bring the aggregate of Bsmarcks build
ing program to most imposing figure.
Hundreds of new homes have gone up in the vari-
sections of the city. increasing the taxable
wealth Of the state capital and indicating that the
future growth is assured because this city is the
gateway to vast empire Of fertile lands and rich
coal arcas-and probably not in the far distant flu
ture oil may be added to the natural resources
Bismarck is building with vision to what may
happen when the tong masses of the cities to the
east and the farmers battling against high rents on
over capitalized Iowa and Illinois farms look to this
section of the state for cheap, fertile-ycs prac-
ticaly virgin soil.
great future lies ahead for Bismarck and the
great Missouri Slope empire.

The Twins and the little Rag-bag
Wlhiffet kept going along toward
Mister Snoopsy's cave where they
certainly hoped to find the Whiffets

All at once right beside the road
they saw q chocolate drop tree. So
they ali stopped and picked up some

HOudini's Crusade

Harry HOudini, famous magician, who has dur
ing the last few years delighted in exposing many
fakes" in the realm of fortune telling. spirtuasm
and kindred cults, has carried his crusade to Wash
ington where he is directing an inquiry which he
hopes will end with legislation banning then, from
practicng what he terms to be fraud"
Without taking up cudgels either for or against
spritualistc mediums fortune telers and Others
dealing with the so-called occult" we NAV certainly
deporc the undoubtedly large percentage of fraud
present in the "seances" and other manifestations
produced on rel for price of so cents up to as
high Is you WIN to CO.
The difficulty is that the whole subject is one Of
which no one really knows anything definite and
that fact leaves the public as choice meat for in
Vulnerable charlatans who make exceedingly good
lvings dupng the gullible
Of course, Mr. Houdini goes very far in his ac-
cusaticns against the whole business He claims
that he can reproduce by strictly human and me
chanical means, any spiritual manifestations" which
are allegedly produced by sprituasts He also saws
Bring before me any medium and ! will easily
prove that he is either victim of psychosis or a
fraud"
That is a broad statement, and, could it be found
that Houdini had Interior motives would be greatly
discounted by the general public This same gen.
eral public, however, knows that Houdni is very
wealthy in his own right and fails to discern any u
terror motive. Furthermore, Mr. Houdini's very
carnestness in his crusade engenders a certain
amount Of respect for the convictions which

What the public really hopes is that no one will BIZ
prosecuted but that everything will be done to pre-
vent On innocent public from being 'bunked" b,
