Where Central Wins
(St. Paul Dispatch)

The Workmens Compensation Board Of North
Dakota seems to be constantly in trouble with the
young ladies Of the state Last spring it allowed
compensation to a school-teacher who was frozen
when starting a fire in the school stove, and re-
fused it to another who had her knees frozen on
the way to school, charging the bite to silk stock
ings.
The present occasion is one in which the board
refused compensation to telephone central girl
who claimed injury to her hearing, in buzzing ami
ringing noises in her ears, due to the of tele-
phone head set. She appealed to the court and
the district court upheld her. The board appealed
to the supreme court and this week the highes.
court upholds the central girls claim and orders
compensation paid to her.
The circumstances in North Dakota differ from
those in Minnesota. There the state is the insur-
ance company and the board is the insurance agen-
cy. collecting premiums and paying losses. No in
dividual or private indemnity company operates
without the consent Of the state OF the board Hence
the state or the board Is rather dicatoral at times
and the court interyenes to prevent abuses.
The system is leave-over from the. socialistic
program d tsn years ago and operates well. mainly
hecauss there are few args industries n the state
md the one large one agriculture = almost entirely
exempt from indemnity Insurance.. But even hero
thsre develop hardness and injustice not less than
TIT charged against the private indemnity corpora
tions orefasint b this state.

Paris Refuses 10 BE Reno-ized

Some years ago American middle and wealthy
classes used to find Reno, New, the most important
town the map. 1t was the city of easy divorces.
Gilded women went there, established a residence
in of the hotels devoted to divorce seekers,
played bridge there for a few months, and then
went gaily went back cast with precious piece o.
paper-a divorce.
Reno finally rebeed There was dismay in
Fifth Avenue and Park Lane And then one bright
young thing tired of her husband, found that Paris
was Paradise. 1t easy to establish legal resi-
dence in Paris. The Paris courts were very lenient
in the matter Of divorces Immediately the colony
of husband shedders began to swarm the boulevars
and sip tea in the lounges Of the swagger hotels
But now there are signs that Paris refuses to be
the French Reno. The procurcur Of the republic
has issued circular warning judges that French
divorce law should apply only to those who have a
real domcile in France and not to those who merely
rent temporary lodging to procure d.

Editorial Comment
, Good News For the Northwest
minneapolis Tribune)

Had government meteorologists actually manu-
featured" the weather of the past few days accord
ing to farmer specifications. they could scarcely
have done better job of it. There have been rains
where rains were needed and good hot rgrowng''
weather where grains had shown tendency to be
backward. The elements have adjusted themselves
graciousy to the northwests desires. and the crop
outlook. as result, remains uniformly excellent.
Optimism which is based on frst-hand observa-
tion riot through the reports of railroads serv-
ing the northwest. There is common agreement
that almost ideal weather is favoring crop growth
in this territory, and that unusually generous
grain harvest impends. Corn in Minnesota and the
Dakotas, delayed earlier in the season by cold.
damp weather, is responding valiantly to the high
err temperatures. Small grains are furnishing
generally throughout the covered by the re-
port. Black rust is reported making small head
way in the grain fields. and there is good reason to
believe that it will not constitute a serious problem
in 1927. Conditions have been excellent for early
wheat; hayfields and pastures described lux
uriant; abundant grasses making for healthy,
well-fed livestock.
Altogether Minnesota and the northwest have
good reason for anticipating bumper season. Not
every year does the report come from Minnesota
that "all crops progressing rapidly; or from
North Dakota that conditions on farms could not
be better or from South Dakota that the crop out
look "is the best in Is years." 1t is gratifying to
know that the weather has been moulded so excel
ently to the farmers needs and more than that. it
is gratifying to know that the northwest because
it is embracing the principles of diyersifcation, is
not wholly dependent on the weather. or pn any one
crop, for its farm prosperity. In its daFy herds
the northwest has constant, dependable source OF
wealth; when grains respond to the Establishments
of nature as they are responding in 1927 the north
west is doubly rich. The new agriculture, fortu-
nately. is not serf Of the weather gods.

He Knew Him When

Idol-smsshers have been buster than in the
recent years WHICH have an increased popular
interest in biography. You may read for instance
in some CT the most recent biographies of George
Washington, that he was rather a. common person,
mediocre, somewhat illiteratc and devoid Of real
greatness.
Against such conceptions Of Washington there
arc many arguments but perhaps one of the most
significant is the characterization of him by Patrick
Henry, who sat with him in the Virginia House OF
Burgesses.
"Washingtcn," said Henry, twas, for solid in
formation and sound judgment, the greatest man
in the assembly"
After all, Patrick Henry really knew the man
and saw him in action.

The Eighth Deadly Sin

With the divorce evil established on such a
1'rm foundation that it merits the sobrquet of the
eighth deadly sin, reimbursement is bound to
come sooner or later in the correlated crime of ali
imony. There are, fortunately few innocent souls
IN the world who marry for love- but it is not hard
to seek and find people who marry for INSURANCE,
and people who marry for amony.
One factor which will do much to alter the status
Of alimony paying is the change which has come
about in the independence Of women. Divorced men
argue, and with no small show Of reason that they
should not be required to pay alimony to chdless
women who are perfectly able to support them
selves.
The situation in this matter has altered so much
from the situation that obtained ten or fifteen
years ago that there have been several cases on
record in which disabled lixorced husbands have
sued their wives for support in the form of ali
mony. In the most recent case of this kind to come
to notice, Chicago bricklayer who was sued for
divorce by his wife, filed petition that his wife,
II granted divorce, be required to pay him ali
mony The brickayer in this case was suffering
from hernia and tuberculosis, while his wife, in ad-
ditlon to earning $35 week in store, was draw
ing alimony from two former husbands.
Not all cases are as involved this, nor as clear
cut. but the existence of this and similar suits in
dicates that the day is not far distant when the
precedents OF alimony paying will have to be re-
vlsed to meet changing conditions in society.
One other Chicago calls attention to an
other phase of the alimony evil. In this second
case divorced dentist paying alimony to his firsr
vile, has married again, and has in his second VEN
ture apparently found happiness His first wife is
chlldess, but continues to draw amony from her
former mate. Wife No. 2 objects, and has issued
an -ultimatum: rather than permit her husband t.
pay further alimony she will have him go to Jail
She has organized an anti-alimony league and is
attempting to rally to her standard the thousands
