"A Better Risk

Statistics compiled by life insurance actuaries prove
that single women live longer than married women and
as a result. premium rates are lower for the spinsters.
This is as it should be, for any class of persons havine
a better chance for longevity than some other class, Is
likely to be paying premiums for a longer period. So
from the INSURANCE. standpoint. it all balances up In
the end. @
The social and biological significance of the figures
however. should not be lost sight Of. for they bring home
to us forcibly the sacrifices which the mothers of the
race make for mankind. It Is not the difference be-
tween the occupations of married and unmarried women
which is important but the fact that married women
bear children.
Sometimes they go down into the valley OF the shadow
and never return and the life insurance men chalk up
a black mark against married women as risks" More
frequently they return from the valley impaired in
health and, their child-bearing days over. go to an early
grave as the result of their experience in the process of
perpetuating the race. -.
Every child born into this world can find new cause
for loving and respecting his mother by studying so
humdrum a thing as the experience of insurance COM
panies.

State Mill Control
Grand Forks Herald)

NGranQ FOTkS HeraIQ)
At the beginning of the state campaign of 1928 the
Independents declared in their platform for the control
and management of the state Mill by a permanent
commission instead of by the governor individually.
Because it had been represented that the Independents
were DESTROYS of bringing about the failure of the en-
terprise and the closing of the plant, it was proposed
that a majority of the members of the commission to
be created should be chosen from the Nonpartisan
league, so that the enterprise would be Gin the hands
of its friends" Geo. F. Shafer conducted his campaign
for governor on this basis, and when he was elected
and took office he recommended to the legislature the
carrying out Of this plan. A bill embodying it was
passed by the house, but was defeated by the solid
vote of league senators, who were in control of the
senate.
Last year the governor and his Independent sup
porters committed themselves again to the commission
plan, but properly and advisedly made no conditions
with reference to the f~actional affiliations of commits
sioners. The bill which has just been introduced is
intended to effect the fulfillment of pledges made to
the people of the state.
There is no more reason for the governor of a state
being manager of its mill, if it has one, than for his
being manager Of any other of it's activities, educa-
tional, penal, or what not. These other institutions
are managed under the general direction of boards and
commissions created by the legislature for that pur-
pose: Their members are appointed by the governor,
and it is his duty to see that their work is performed
in the manner provided by law. That ought to be the
status of the state mill.

Mahatma Gandhi Goes Free
minneapolis Tribune

NNiHIlCdpOllS u
The release of Mahatma Gandhi from prison must
have come about only after cold-blooded elaboration
on the part of British authorities, as the practical con-
sequences of such action. The British have never been
considerate or tolerant Of Mr.. Gandhi as a matter of
simple virtue, and the question of his Imprisonment
or liberty has always been, therefore, the question of
just where the Nationalist leader would prove the least
nuisance at any given moment.
That his cell door has now been opened is ample evil
dence OF the fact that Great Britain believes the Indian
situation much less crucial than it has been at any
time since the Gandhi salt making activities threatened
to ultimate in bloody civil war. Just what part the
which has until recently been going from bad to worse
II Is impossible to say, but one can hardly doubt that
the liberal pronouncements of the British statesmen
at London served to allay some of the native distrust
and suspicion which have kept the country seething
with riots and protests for many months. Be that as
it may, Great Britain must be acutely aware Of the
tact that the whole round table structure, with it's
elaborate recommendations for self-govern,nent and it's
generous ~overtures to native opinion, will topple like
q house of cards unless foundationed, in the last analv-
sis, on the Mahatma's assent.
There is no explaining the Gandhi spell over India,
put neither is there any gainsaying it. So long as he
lives, in prison or out, he will apparently sway the
thought and passions Of millions. The deliberations
at London can apparently have only such Importance
as Gandhi, by the slightest word or action, cares to
them. That he has chosen to accept Britain's
ciemency now may be significant. BY refusing that
he might have caused the government con-
the round table plans for a self-poyerned
irGia: The liberation Of Gandhi, all things considered.
q hopeful sign. But it is no positive assurance. So
long as he remains the unpredictable and unfathomahlc
leader of midas nationalists, that the finaI
crisis has been passed.

Nav Change Next State Ticket

VALLEY City Time -Record)
1t has been generally accepted that Hon. John w.
Carr would be the next Independent candidate for gov
ernor with every prospect Of success, but if this James
town boom for moving the state capitol keeps going,
there is going to be a lot of political bitterness aroused
that may change the aspirations of the Stutsman county
statesman.
The west end of the state is not going to take kindly
to this proposition Of putting the capitol this way and
taking it from Bismarck, and with feeling engendered
in spots in the eastern part of the state, Mr.. Carr may
find himself in a rather unique position before We get
through with this Highland he has not taken any
part in it himself, either.
With the new party shadow being thrown across the
track of the l. Y. A. organization, this capitol removal
proposition looming up as it is. the political map may
be changed next year and workers in the Independent
party of today may be found swimming around in the
progressive political pool.

That Long, Long Dance

Mike Gouvas and Ann Gerry are dancing will tear
in their eyes. Not because it is the last dance. Blu
because 1t is a long dance.
The lyric writer who boosted that he had danced tn.
whole night through was really just an amateur. Besides
he probably sat out a number or two now and then.
Not like Mike and Ann, though. For the last S(
hours, they said the other day at theChicago dance hat
where they are doing a marathon, they have been dane

moon Is making a white path across the shining waters
and the orchestra has found a lifting melody that Is
strangely tangled in your heart cords, that you should
wish that you could dance forever. But anyone who feels
that way at three o'clock in the morning usually has
a different opinion along about seven o'clock, when the
sun comes up and the moon goes down and the break
fast bell is ringing.
Dancing on and on and on can become an exceedingly
tiresome, disagreeable act. Certainly it loses all the grace
and rhythm and light-hearted charm that are supposed
to be the basis of its appeal. Once upon a time the idea
of any competition was to perform the act better than
anyone else. Now it seems to be do it longer than any
one else.

Today Is the
Anniversary of
HENRY IRVING'S BIRTH

HENRY 1RVING'S BIRTH
On Feb. s., 1888. Sir Henry Irving.
great English actor, whose real name
was John Brodribb, was born In
Somerset, England.
He began his career at the age Of
ID. For 10 years he played in va
rlous provincial stock companies, act
ing In more than 500 parts. Soon
after he joined the company of the
newly -opened Queens Theater, where
he acted with Ellen Terry and other
distinguished performers. He made
his first conspicuous success in 1.-THE
Two Roses" which ran for 800 nights.
He gained great distinction in his
ShakeSpearean performances through
his Interpretation of Hamlet and
Shylock. The dignity with which he
invested Shylock marked a departure
from the traditional Interpretation of
the role.
When Irving undertook the man
agement Of the Lyceum Theater he
made new improvements and devel-
opments in the art of stage setting.
In 1895, 10 years before his death,
Irving received the honor of knight
hood. the first ever accorded an actor.
He was buried in Westminster Abbey.

Sensible Legislation

legislation just introduced to increase the number o
signatures to refer or initiate statutes and constitutions
amendments is sound and timely and should meet witt
the approval OF the legislature.
The filing of q petition containing $4,000 signature.
for an amendment and 10000 for a law is none too many
when the cost Of elections is considered. At present only
1000 signatures are needed to refer or initiate a meas.
ure and but 10000 signatures can initiate changes In the
fundamental law Of the state.
Regardless Of the merits or dement's OF the initiative
referendum and recall provisions Of the constitution, the
number OF signatures necessary to invoke these features
is ridiculously low.
The Tribune is opposed to the principle Of the
Initiative, referendum and recall. They were adopted
during the hysteria over so-called progressive legislation.
Many states adopted them. Some have dropped these
schemes Of government since and in other common
wealths recourse to them is not frequent.
With q legislature converting every two years, there
IS ample opportunity to correct and revise the laws of
the state. Seldom in the history Of this state has any
meritorious measure failed Of earnest consideration in
the legislative halls. q much safer place ordinarily to
legslate than at the polls.
The bill just introduced by Senators Cain, Ployhar
and Murphy should pass. Such legislation will tend to
reduce the use Of the initiative and referendum to real
emergencies and to situations where the rights or the
will of the people are menaced.
