important Citizens

Scientists are generally peculiar lot. They
tend to be so wrapped up in their particular investi-
cations that they fail to keep abreast of the times
in other respects. They wear out-of-date clothes,
frequently become absent minded, fail to keep in
formed about important things like baseball stand
'ngs and prize fights and the current plays and
songs. Sometimes they almost seem out of place
in this alert, up-to-datc civilization Of ours.
But oddly enough they are the most important
men in the world. We have shiny radios and purr-
ing AUTOS and brilliant electric lights and iceless
refrigerators and moving pictures because Of the
work OF out-of-date, "back number" gentlemen who
putter about in laboratories. They in fact, the
ones who have turned us into hustling of 60
getters and given US the tools to go-get with.
Furthermore, according to David Dietz, science
writer, the whole world is going to 60 to pot in a
century or from overproduction unless the scen-
fists devise some new ways of getting food fuel and
transportation. II they succeed he says every
thing will be lovely; if they fail everything will be
terrible.
So don't waste any sympathy the retiring,
modest gentlemen who immense themselves in
laboratories and refuse to come out and play with
the rest Of US. All in all, they're about the most
important citizens we have.

Editorial Comment
North DakOta's Decision
(St. Paul Dispatch)

1t is evident that the voters Of North Dakota
have decided to continue the state in industry and
have put their faith in the postuate that agricul
ture can only get relief by political protest. Gov
ernor Sorlie and Senator Nye have booth been re-
nominated.
The returns show that many counties previously
strongly regular Republican have been carried by
narrow margins or gone over to- the cleft wing
faction. A change of this Sort following 1924
when President Coolidge carried the state in March
and in November in two holly contested elections,
can be accepted only as protest against the at
titude of the Administration and Congress in the
matter Of farm aid One feature deserves atten
ton. The farmers, though tempted by Farmer
Labor and other tickets, stuck solidly by the Re-
publican party. The vote given the others is fully
entitled to the term Scattering"

Uncle Sam is pretty grasping individual. This
impression grows out of European notion that our
Uncle Sam is nothing less than burglar to think
OF collecting the money that is owed him.
But over in Hungary the prevailing impression of
America and Americans must be bit more mel

recognizing Hungary's finances, has presented
his salary Of 100000 for his two years work to
the Hungarian people.

He found both He settled on u ranch in Wyom

Over in England the seventh earl Of Portsmouth
died last year, and it discovered that the heir
to his title and fortune none other than Olive
Henry.
Would Oliver Henry ren0unce his American citi-

The welkn rang with reclamation for sturdy,
good old Wallop. America good enough for
him. That was the stuff, Oliver Henry.
But something happened. Prompted evidently,
by the desire to what kinf of shape England was
in, Mr.. Walop crossed the high seas to cast on

is true, had given him good living, but he had

We are sorry to lose Oliver H. Walcp, but our

neered SO vigorously in Wyoming hardly be
blamed for wanting to do little pioneering among
Englands peers. Our guess is that Mr.. Wallop
will make good solid outstanding earl.
