Why Should We Mix In?
(The jamestown Sum

The Fargo Forum was and is a strong advocate
of participation of the United States in the World
Court In view Of this avowcd attitude, there are
several things in the Forum editorial, published
under the caption whats the Real Reason?" in
Thursday evenings paper, which are hard for US
to understand
The Forum says: "The truth Of the matter is,
France and Italy and Japan and Great Britain have
no, desire to reduce their ornaments. They have
no desire to attend such conference either under
the banner of the League of Nations or under the
call Of the United States. The fires of international
good will and helpfuness, builded at Locarno have
largely burned cut
If the above quated statement is true, why does
the Forum want the United States to become in
volved in European affairs? II the fires Of inter-
national good will and helpfulncss, builded at Lo-
carno, have largely burned out, and if France,
Italy, Japan and Great Britain, the four strongest
nations of the world today outside of the United
States, have no desire to reduce their ornaments
does the Forum want the United States to submit
any question to court of which they are the mos.
powerful members? And if the United States can
never submit question to the Court, why belong
at all?
The treaty Of Locarno was hailed as a great vic
tory OF peace only few weeks ago. and given as
one of the most convincing for the entrance
Of the United States into the World Court If the
fires kindled there have already burned out, then
! It would seem that the wonderful victory of peace
gained at Locarno longer be a reason for
| the adoption Of the World Court By the United
States.
The Sun does not often agree with Senator Nye
| III opposition to the Fargo Forum, but if, as the
Forum now says, four of the most powerful ma
items Of the world are opposed to disarmament ii
the statement is true that "t is more apparen;
than ever that the conference never was desired in
the first place. and that "the fervcr Of the United
States alarmed France and ether European coun.
tries"-f this is the kind Of situation we have in
Europe, and It we can not trust the sincerity OF
France or Great Britain, Italy or Japan the Sun il
forced to the conclusion that Senator Nye spoke the
truth when he said that the World Court is a,
agency Of war rather than an agency Of peace
just pause for moment to weigh the final
statement Of the Forum editorial, which is re.
printed in full in another column ON this page that
''Truth is Europe has desire to disarm, and viii
make every effort to keep from SO doing" ii
Enfope will make every forth-"every" always
covers lot OF territoryto defeat the purpose 81

A Queer World

Ronald Amundsen went all the way to the south
pole, where the temperature is rather low. He also
went most Of the way to the north POLE where it
is seldom Most Of his life, in fact, has been
spent amid the arctic SHOWS. And always he has
enjoyed excellent health.
Now, in Los Angeles, he contracts cold and has
to take to his bed
This is very queer world, and one of the queer
est things about it is the fact that lifelong ex-
plorcr Of the arctic could catch cold in California

Suddenly poor Twinkle Pen who

TOMORROW: Decision.

"That's what you get" said the
Blue Kangaroo sharply. "The old
wizard has already cast his spell
over you, see. He's the only one
in the whole country who knows the
secret of the blue cherry Ana mes
SO afraid that strangers will ask
about it that he mixes them all up.
# YOU had come in the front way by
&c wicket gate, all would have been
easier. Now you'll both have to try
and have the spell removed. I'll tell
YOU just one more thing. The wiz
ards name is Blue Whiskers'
The Twins had nothing TO say to
this, SO the Kangaroo went on:
What are your names and ages

allied Blue Laws, because they are
written on blue paper, require it,"

Thirteen?

The League Of Nations is nquiring into the pos
sibility of getting all nations to agree on a new
calendar, which would wipe out the present division
Of the year into n,enths and make a new arrange
ment with thirteen exactly equal months to each
year.
It would be more convenient doubtless. But
why standardize everything? There's mighty little
real Inconvenience caused by the present system.
Let's stick to the old style, just this once.

CITY SCHOOL ELECTION
OCTOBER 80; GEORGE 7.
HERRINCTON NOMINATED

City school election comes on the
Both of this month--a week from to-
morrow. The member whose term
expires is George T. Harrington, who
has been on the board for several
years.
Nomination is by petition, the
time for filing names of candidates
and having their names printed on
the ticket running out 10 days before
election Mr.. Herrington's petition,
circulated by his friends, was filed
several days ago and his will be the
only name printed on the ticket. 1t
is believed there is no opposition.
Mr.. Harrington, until a few months
ago general manager Of Flagstaff
Electric Light Co., now is general
manager of the Flagstaff, Winslow
and Holbrook light and power COM
panies and his added duties made
him reluctant to continue on the
school board, but the persuasion OF
numerous business men who had filled
in petition for him and filed it with
the school board at the latter's meet
ing Tusday, prevailed and he said
"All right, if you insist"
Our city school board for good
many years has been composed Of
most excellent material, all of the
several who have served having had
the best interests of the school very
much at heart, with the result that
our schools have steadily grown in
size and efficiency 1t is doubtful if
any other city of this size in the
United States has better, more eff
ficient or more smoothly coordinated
school system.
The election next Saturday will be
at Emerson school, The other two
members of the board are Mrs. 7. e.
Pollock, chairman, and Charles W
Isham, secretary.
