Editorial Comment
Service For Settlers
VALLEY City Times-Record)


Reading the story Of what the Greater North
Dakota association has outlined as working pro-
gram the paragraph which refers to service for
settlers sounds businesslke. If North Dakota ex-
poets to secure settlers who will move here, start
farming, be successful and contented it is import
ant that each settler be given local assistance in
selecting his land, making settlement for same, and
finally in getting acquainted with the people of the
community as we'll as with the North Dakota
methods Of farming. No man who comes here will
be contented who discovers after his arrival that
he has been overcharged for his land, that he has
bought under misrepresentation that he has as
sumed obligations beyond his ability to meet. We
believe every commercial club in the state should
take active interest in the local land advertis.
ing. That it should be known that prospective land
buyers may go to the various clubs and receive in
formation and advice North Dakota is great
state. More prosperous today than any of the
neighboring states and the much needed farmers
will come here if the facts be placed bcfort
them through organizations in which the prospec
tive settlers have confidence.

A Proper Punishment

Whether you favor capital punishment not is
matter strictly your concern, but another
strong argument advanced for such punishment

men confessed to the brutal Staying of the aged

1t certainly takes awful lot of reasoning to
understand and believe that they should not get
more punishment than life sentences.
And at the same time, we cannot help but feel
that II capital punishment existed and strictly

Hone, From Burbank

1t was fine message that Luther Burbank gave
out on his nty-scventh birthday.
1t was fine because it said much in small space.
because it compressed whole philosophy of life
into few short words. 1t showed, in fact, that
this Luther Burbank, who has professed to he an
nfidel, is in truth real Christian.
Here is what he said:
"As you hold loving thoughts for every person
and animal and even toward the plants, the ocean,
the stars, the rivers and the hills and you
helpful of service to the world you will find
yourself growing happy each day. And with
happiness comes health and everything you want
Burbank has keen mind He has spent his life
with nature, studying her and extracting from her
her deepest secrets. And apparently he has sue.
ceeded in getting the to the biggest puzzle
of all; the secret Of life itself
The answer? Happiness. Happiness that is
gained not by selfish grasping and thoughtless
clutching of material things but by an overfowing
from within Of the JOY in life, an inner harmony
with the world and it's laws
It is happiness that is within the reach Of all.

How is it gained, again? BY "hoding loving
thoughts for every person.; by being neighborly,

stead of the worst by realizing that the ice man
and the street sweeper and the char are
human beings as we'll as you able to establish con-

Bank Consultations

Bank consultations of the encouraging
signs in the financial situation Of North Dakota.
The list of mergers announced by Gilbert SEEMING
son reflects an honest effort to stabilize banking
conditions in those counties where too many banks
initiated against success and where competitive
conditions invited improper methods.
Mr. Semngson is right in stating that the need
is for fewer but stronger banks. Following 1915
and in fact during the period OF the World War
and even after the Armistice, the organization CT
banks was far in excess OF any legitimate demand

Position Sound

President Coolidge is not novice at the political
game. Knowing from precedent that it is very
dangerous matter for Chief Executive to NEEDLE
in Congressional elections, he will keep his hands
off the primaries. Usually when a President
gets involved in state fights, the reaction is not
beneficial for the Chief Executive or his party.
Woodrow Wilson tried to force the election Of
Democrats favoring his League of Nations. His
famous statement in reference to- the Congressional
elections is still fresh in the political annals of the
nation.
