IN NEW YORK

New York, Jan. $50 often have
its seamy side, it's incongruities and
high time to shout few words Of
praise.
broadway is today truly "the
crossroads of the world" All
Europe has come to look upon it
as an outlet for its product.
At this moment the drama of
the world can be viewed here as
nowhere else. Paris, Vienna,
London-all the world capitals
suddenly become provincial by
Stride for a half hour up and down
its pavements and Broadway will be
seen to display the wares Of all ma
tions, while the outstanding talents
find their names emblazoned in the
bright lights. For Broadway is a
gambler and gambling takes money
and gold is a siren that brings forth
the best and the worst.
And BrOadway's theatrical gam
blers, with welllincd purses, have
brought to this street Of many faces
all things that money could buy and
spread them out as the farmers dis
play their produce at the county fair.
Here is a Hebrew troupe from Mos
COW performing in the ancient tongue
of Palestine. Here are the most 0eft
Of the French artists, an outstanding
tragedienne of Paris and singers from
the French opera comique. An
outstanding box-Office hit is the
work Of Frenchman and the d.
rector of a leading art production
is late from Paris.
The newest revue features Sc
ries of Moscow made entertain
ments and two of the most popu-
lar musical comedies have London
favorites at their head.
A man named Bolcslavsky d.
reefs the newest in little theaters
and another named Bel-Geddes
makes some of our hest stage de-
signs. The Guitrys play ut $25 a
seat and an entertainer from
Spain brings a similar sum. For
season the hits Of Vienna tan
talize the ears and foreign trans
lations are as common as weeds.
One can scare navigate block
without coming headlong into a
European artist, writer or actor.
The lecture bureaus shout the
names Of Walpole, Masefield, Mad
dox-Ford and such.
The musical bureaus cry the ar
r rival ..; Of new Hungarian pianists
The latest in foreign cinema
makes it's bow and Broadway puts
up the money to bring over the
greatest directors and actors of
the film.
But for Broadway America
would never know them.
Oh, yes, we like to tell about
the weaknesses and comedies of
our little highway, but at this
opening of new year I've got to
stop moment to take my hat off.
It's really more than, cross
roads of the world. It's big
doorway through which y passes
everybody from beggar to genius.
And that's why there's always
something to write about.

My days among the dead are past;

Where'er these casual eyes are cast,
The mighty minds Of old:
My never-failing friends are they,
With whom converse day by day.
With them take delight in veal
And seek relief in woe:
And while ! understand and feel
How much to them I owe,
My cheeks have often been bedew'd
With tears of thoughtful gratitude.
Ny thoughts are with the dead; with

Their virtues, :. loves, their faults

Partake their hopes and fears,
And from their lessons seek and find
Instruction with an humble mind.
Ny hopes. are with the dead; anon
MY place with them will be,
And ! with them shall travel on
Through all Futurity;
Yet leaving here q name, / trust,
That will not perish in the dust.

. The man who produces crop in excess of de-
mands with resultant unsatisfactory prices is not
the only one who suffers. The bankers in Iowa
have suffered as much the corn growers because
of their failure to obtain adequate returns. The
low price of corn has also caused glut Of heavy
steers, which have resulted in tremendous losses
to their feeders Land values have deprecated be-
cause OF failure to meet taxes and interest charges
The record cotton crco. now selling at ruinously
low prices, fortunately finds southern bankers in a
favorable position. Funds accumulated during re-
cent years OF satisfactory prices available to
help in carrying the surplus. Cottonseed meal is
now selling at lower prices than at any time in re-
cent years. 1t is today the cheapest source Of pro-
ten. It has depressing effect on other feed
stuffs for which it may serve as substitute. Cot
tonseed oil is furnishing greater competition for
lard, for which it is being substituted in large guam
titles. The low price Of cotton has given rise to
campaign for greater use Of cotton goods in the
place Of wool and silk. There is an interrelation
between various commodities produced on the farm
which is reflected by their market values. The use
OF substitutes is stimulated BY extreme prices for
any product.

Editorial Comment

{ Minneapolis Journal)

Nineteen "progressive' members of the Mime
sofa Senate have arrived at the conclusion that
there ought to be no organization; bloc, clique Or
faction in the upper house of the Legislature.
The Senate they point out, is "nonpartsan body
and the intrusion of any organization among the
members will only disturb the individual right Of
each participant tc incte and vote for such laws
will rebound to the common good"
These highly individuastic Senators ought to do
some pr5seyting among their Farmer-Labor col
leagues in the House, who held caucus, agreed on
candidates and a course of action, and made other
preparations to interfere with the individual right
of each participant" in the lower chamber-which
is presumably just as "nonpartisan" the Senate.
The progressive Senators apparently believe
that, because Legislators are elected without
party designation" they ought therefore to be
Comparisons" conclusion of the sort that dsesn:
follow.
But the fact remains that in delibcrativc bodies
whose members are elected to represen: somebody.
partisan organization is all but inevitable. Govern
ment by parties is the American traditional way Of
government. 1t has always been so. Only thus can
principles be fixed and fought for. Only thus can
responsibility be placed
When formal party organization is lacking, blocs
and factions spring up like weeds in an untitled
field. They meet, albeit imperfectly and often
harmfully, the human need for organization.
The Farmer-Labor senator's, though hopelessly in
the minority, could do their constituents and the
State a greater and better service by maintaining
vigorous and organized opposition. As critics of
the majority's measures they could serve useful
purpose.
But if they insist on being merely "nonpartisan'
individuals. each striving to 'incte and vote for
his own pet ideds they will abandon the honorable
and useful function of the parliamentary opposition.

Coolidge and the Bells

President Coolidge, that august digntary who
issues messages to Congress full of talk of mat
tiers weighty, we now learn is very inqusitive
person.
It seems the president has the habit Of pushing
emergency police bells scattered around the White
House, just ito see what would happen" Often in
leaving or entering his daily strolls he pushes
the police emergency bell near the front entrance
We haven't heard much before this Of the pres
dent's sense of humor. This is of the first init
nations that have had of the capacity for "prac
teal jokes" that has from the White House in
many moons
We are wondering if just trace Of the eternal
boy that once roamed the Vermont hills still lives.
With Santa Claus just around the corner, and this
such gladstone and all, we suspect it does.

Nv Way of Correction

q Public interviews directed presumably against the
recent address of Commissioner Wenzel OF the work
mems Compensation Bureau were based upon mis-
understanding of what said at the kiwanis meet
ing of last Tuesday No in the state is more sin
ccrely committed to the idea of wcrkmen's com.
pensation than Governor Sorlie Mr.. Wenzel.
Neither of them believes that industry has been
driven from the state by of such legislation
and finally the matter Of rates to be paid by indus
try was not at issue in Mr.. Wenzels address.
Confusion arises between the terms rates and
benefits. 1t was to be expected that in the first
six or seven years of the bureau in this state
Benefits would be too high, others probably too low.
This bureau has had seven years Of experience, and
the time for fair adjustment has arrived. The
bureau can give the legislature the benefit of this
experience.
: If this state is to have workmen's compensation
it is vital that the sovency of the fund in view Of
benefits fixed by statute be rigidy upheld. That
is only good business and sound common sense.
There is no politics or propaganda in it.
s Unfortunately few scent move to nullify work
mems compensation in any attempt to revise and
harmonic benefits with actual experience. They
regard it the opening wedge to wipe out this
form of legislation and instantly raise the hue and
cry that the whole insurance scheme is in peril.
Those who opposed Mr.. Wenzel's statements on
Heyed that such contingency behind his rec.
Concentrations. Fortunately this issue has been
cleared up to the satisfaction of ALL and the legs-
latcrs proceed calmly to examine conditions in
the bureau not a undertaking expedition, but
to get at the facts actuary would who was
employed to place benefits upon a scientific and
safe basis, as any. business examines his
Ucsts and overhead to determine the price of his
product.
: The issue is merely Of sound business prac-
tice. Efforts of certain clique to twist the Wen
zel statement into anything else has personal slant
in which neither the legislators Governor Sorle
have any interest. Both the legislative and
tive branches are anxious to place the North Da-
kcta bureau sound basis Just how to accom-
plsh this is for legislative deberation, and the
senate has wisely left the whole matter to the
mittee on insurance where the issues will be
threshed out pro and con without personalities or
Snap judgment.
