Strangulation By Red Tape

The damage which an arbitrary rule, "red tape"
may do is Illustrated by the experience of an American
mining man operating in the state of Sonora who at
tempted to obtain passports for an ore mill supern-
tendent.
Under recent ruling, Americans going into
Mexico to accept employment must obtain the APPROX
al OF the central government, and while the appica
ton of the superintendent is being laboriously pro-
cessed at the Mexican capital the mill expert cools his
heels at the line, and half hundred Mexican work.
men at the mining property remain idle, though the
purpose of the regulation is to prosper the welfare of
the latter.
The inauguration of similar policy in this coun-
try would in thirty days create condition of want

Editorial Comment
Federal Police Courts
minneapolis Journal)

That federal district courts have become police courts
to q large extent, is shown by the statistics Of the De-
partment Of Justice for the fiecal year ended June so,
1923 and 1929. Two-thirds of all criminal cases before
these courts are prohibition cases.
In the year ending last June 80, there were 11O,65b
cases instituted. both civil and criminal. Of these, 85,-
343 were criminal cases, and Of the criminal cases.
5G,7S6 were prohibition cases. The preceding years
cn.es were in about the same ratio; the prohibition
cases numbered SIS, 720. Since 1921, the number Of cases
mas about doubled.
The prohibition cases in the entire country increased
about 1000 last year. But the convictions decreased
in number. There were 47.10O convictions in 1899
compared with 4S,S20 the preceding. year. Heavier fines
were levied, however, on the fewer convictions; the to-
tai for 1929 was $7,476,300, or about SITS y0c0 more than
the preceding year.
In the federal district Of Minnesota, there were 1920
prohibition cases in the year ending June 30, 1929.

What Our Autos Cost

The people OF the United States spend approximately
$l4,OOO,OOO,OOO every year on automobiles, accordir.
to figures just made public BY the National Automobile
Chamber Of Commerce.
It is interesting to see how this money is spent.
The purchase Of new cars takes the largest slice
$3.50. 600. oO0. Next comes the bill for gasoline AMI
-s2,370.0O0,00 Tires and spare parts cost $2,O0O,.

service charges amount to $l,O15 ,0OO,O 900. The rest
something like s935,OO0.OOO-goc for insurance, taxes

Pessimism and Colleges

An eastern educator is greatly worried because some
100000 young men and women arc enrolled in the col
lcgcs and universities Of the land.
This, he says, will soon make competition for the
"whitc collar jobs so keen that salaries will drop fear
fully, and the doctor, lawyer, teacher and chemist will
earn less than the bricklayer or carpenter.
We have too much education, to his mind, and the
more crowded our colleges become the less valuable is
the course Of training they offer.
This might be a perfectly sound conclusion if the sole
function Of the college were to train people SO that they
could make more money. If a college degree were
valuable only as a passport into the professions, the
g%entlcman's pessir,ism might be justified.
But--despite the fact that a great many people look
at it that way-thc getting Of an education is not d-
rectly connected with the business of earning a living.
The technical school, the medical college and the Law
school, Of course, do point their students toward a def
mite, bread and butter goal; but education in its broad
or sense is not a thing that seeks to raise ones earning
power.
Colleges were established not to teach people how to
make a living, but to teach them how to live. With our
emphasis on dollars we often overlook the fact. that
there is q difference. It is q big one.
For the educated man treasures q great deal OF
knowiedge that can never have any cash value. He
makes himself familiar with such useless things as the
poetry OF Shelley and Burns, the paintings Of Michel
angelo and d. Vinci, the prose of Flaubcrt and Conrad.
the philosophy Of Plato and Spinoza. He docs not
"VAU0 WIS lS OWH eyes 8lO0O,
but with the eyes of Carlyle and Tolstoi. Dante and
Whitman. He knows the music Of Schubert, and Wag-
ncr, and Wolf Fcrrari.
Now these things, in ordinary circumstances, can
never be translated into dollars and cents. The man
who has then, is not, because he has them, sure of
worldly success. Instead he is apt to, be a triflc indif-
ferent about it. He is, in . way, set free from the
rule OF money. He does not have to have q multiplicity
Of things in order to have a good life.
The inner life, provided you can develop it, is infiu-
itely more important than the outer one. In a land like
our own, where the dollar is the measuring stick for
everything, and where . mans happiness and worth
are apt to be suaged by the price Of his automobile
and the size Of his house, that fact is sometimes over
looked.
II 1t were not ovcrlooked-if We had not forgotten
spiritual values in our dash for prosperity-no on.
would bewail the fact that there arc moro young pcopl .
in college than can find dignified and lucrative Jobs
when they get out. The fact that 100000 youngsters
arc trying to educate themselves is, really, one Of tn /.
most encouraging things about present day life. It
ought not to worry anyone.

feasting was crude compared with our
modern etiquette, and foods were
served without beenfit Of forks. The
tumblers which held the wine were

animals to serve. The wild boar
thus became the honored entree at
all feudal feasts. The boar's head
was brought in on nothing less than
a golden or silver platter with an
apple stuck on each tusk in the

in state, preceded by blasts Of the
trumpet, to be served with careful
carving and mustard.

for lords. The peacock was roasted,
stuffed with sweets and spices and
then replaced in the skin, the beak
being gilded and the tail spread out
to show the beauty Of the feathers.
Mince pies were also known at
these feasts, being known under
various names,' such q s mutton pies
and Christmas pies. They were
baked in oblong shapes to remind
those present Of the manager Of the
Christ child.
Another we'll honored custom at
these feasts was the fassail bowl, a
big bowl Of ale, often spiced, which
was served with roasted apples or
roast crabs floating on its serface.

Real Christmas

Bismarck seems set for its biggest and best and mer-
ricst Christmas. Whether from tho spiritual side Of the
day or from that feasting, gift giving and the joliity in
hcrited from the old pagan winter festival. ample prep
aration has been made for a complete observance Of the
day here. Every church and Sunday school has a pro-
gram Of entertainment in which the very best in music
and pageantry for this occasion has been included. The
community has provided the children with the big cc.c-
bration this afternoon ut tho Auditorium. The Good
Fellows. the Rotarians, the Red Cross and the Saliva
#tion Army seem to have located all the families whose
|undcrprivilcgcd lives call for q little Frightening By
those on whom kindlicr fortune has smiled. There have
been more volunteers to give than families to receive.
And even Bismarck, beautiful in a mantle Of snow,
and multicolored lights, promises to develop
II new outstanding feature Of the celebration.
There is in all this a spirit and enthusiasm that doe
not merit the short tenure usually accorded Christmas
activities. It would be fine if some Of it could be car
lied over into the remainder Of the winter. 1t can be
Through the medium Of the Red Cross and the Saliva

might keep in contact for other times Of need for their
xindly generosity. To let the helping hand go out at
my and all times as the result of the stimulation Of
omorrow's good deeds would be the browning good of
he big celebration the city is putting on.
In the wider affairs Of the world, this is a notable
christmas. Never before has the theme Of peace been
70 stressed as this year. It seems like an echo to tho
