Not a Case of Sympathy
Grand Forks Heraldl

That the people of Bismarck should
entertain very kindly feeling toward
the rest of the state just now is quite
natural, and it is entirely fitting that
they should give expression to their
appreciation Of the friendship shown
their city in the recent capital re-
moval vote. We believe that the peo-
pie of the rest Of the state do feel
friendly toward Bismarck and its
people, and that they have cause for
that feeling. Bismarck is fine city,
and among its residents are to be
found as fine people as any in the
country.
It would be a mistake, however, to
suppose that the capital removal
matter was decided on considerations
OF friendship, and we have no idea
that the people Of Bismarck are
actually making that mistake. There
were involved in the capital removal
proposal considerations Of public eco
nomy, Of good order. and Of common
justice, no matter whose individual
interests might be affected. Every
where in the state people resented
the attempt Of few individuals t.
capitalize q public misfortune fol
their own benefit, the injection Of an
element Of confusion into tho settled
policies Of the state, and tho ex.
hibition Of callous disregard Of the
ordinary rights Of others.
Votes Of 10 to I were cast against
the proposal in communities where
not an individual had ever seen Bis
marck or knew any Of its people
There Is abundance Of friendly feel
ing for Bismarck, but there would b<
the same reputation Of any move
ment originating IN Bismarck to raid
another city, in the unthinkabl<
event that such . movement should
be started.

Specialized Horses
New York, April 1--WE want five
horses that can come down a noun
tain side on treadmills -. 4. and we
have to have 'em in three weeks
got to get the show into rehearsal"
Odd as such a request might seem
almost anywhere upon the globe, it's
no particular novelty at the Ben Hur
stables in the Broadway belt. In fact,
this very request did come to the
stables when the music show "Whoo-
pee" was being readied a few years
back. The attaches sighed and
brought out their best-looking train
ed horses. Five treadmills were built
overnight in the stable and the horses
were taught to walk along on them.
When the show opened parade of
scantly dressed chorines appeared to
be riding down a scenic mountain
trail.

A Bully Problem
One Of the toughest problems the
Ben Hur establishment has ever
tackled was the recent order for q
bull that could be trusted on stage.
This was for the current Hot Cha
production in which comic bull
fighter is the chief character. Now
a bull is not common sight even
in New York-but someone heard of
a trained one over Brooklyn way and
a live bull actually ducked its horns
from behind the wings. Or at the
opening performance, at least. Calves
were needed for the same show-and
these We're more easily produced.
There was another order for horses
that could be used in connection with
an equeStrienne ballet -. for a
troupe of monkeys that would climb
up the scenery -. for a dog that
would bark at a certain cue for
tropical birds that would begin to
sing in the big second act jungle
scene -.

animals used in "stage business"

animal acts park their dogs, ponies

That Railroad Loan

If you didn't notice it at the time,
make q note Of it now. You are 60
ing to hear lot about the recent
loan by the federal finance corpora
ton to the Missouri Pacific railroad
before the year is out.
The matter came to public notice
when the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, approving the railroads ap-
plication for permission to obtain the
loan, emphasized that permission
was granted under protest and out
lined its views on the matter.
The meat in the cocoanut is the
fact that much Of the money which
was loaned to the railroad by the
government corporation was to be
used to pay off obligations to j. p.
Morgan & Co. and Kuhn, Loeb & Co.,
New York bankers.
But, apparently, the government
finance corporation wanted very
much to loan the money, it having
adopted on March 10 . resolution as
serting that "all existing uncertainty
as to the disposition Of the April /
maturities Of the Missouri Pacific
Railroad company is detrimental to
the general credit situation Of the
railroads"
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion took the view that the bankers
holding the loans were bankers for
the carrier and added "as such they
have profited largely in handling it,

battlefront made further minor gains
and succeeded in stopping continued
German attacks, which lacked the
force of those which characterized
the early days Of the offensive.
French troops stormed German

throughout the day.
Paris newspapers announced that
the great German offensive had been

as II great victory had been won.
The Italian steamer Alessandra was

An Uniaue Art

Very few people are aware Of the
fact that the type they read in their
newspapers, magazines. books and ad-
vertising has been designed by some
one; that there is an art which has
to do solely with the designing of new
type faces. Reading has become SO
commonplace that most adult readers
have forgotten that there are letters
of the alphabet. So long as they do
not intrude themselves, due to some
popularity, letters do not impress the
readers consciousness. The art of
the type designer paradoxically aims
at impressing the reader by being
inconspicuous. He is constantly striv-
ing to create letters that are more
legible and which make the printed
page more beautiful.
One of the worlds foremost men,
bers Of this craft, Frederick w.
Cloudy, has spent "a years designing
70 type faces. Although few recog-
nize his name all who read see speci-
mems of his handiwork daily.
His art means this to him:
THE main purpose Of making let
tiers Is the practical one OF making
thoughts visible. However, they have
as we'll a decided decorative quality,
quite apart from any ornamental
treatment Of the separate characters.
Letters need only to be simple, we'll
shaped and we'll proportioned. Beau
ty is not to be sought at the expense
Of practical USE"
How different from most of the
other arts is the art of type design.

Presently after the melon had

She was thrilled at Larry's desire

they decided to wait In the studio.

Intemperannce,

Public attention has been so long
centercd on the Incorporate use of
alcoholic beverages that the word
''intemperate" has lost its broad
meaning among great part Of the
populace. If one were to ask the
average person to define the word the
definition most frequently given
would be Ito drink to excess" or
something to the same effect.
Compare this popular understand
ing Of the word with its definitions
as found in Wehsters dictionary:
"Indulging any appetite or passion
to excess; immoderate in enjoyment
or exertion! ungovernable: immod-
crate, inordinate; as, Incorporate
language, zeal, ETC."
So it becomes evident that one may
be Incorporate in many different
ways. There are Incorporate eaters
Incorporate smokers, intemper q E
workers, Incorporate sleepers, intern
perate idlers, incorporate spenders
Incorporate takers, intempe r e
thinkers, Incorporate reformers: and
finally there may be intemperance in
anything.
In an essay on THE Evils of In
temperance appears the statement
1.-The history of mankind has shown
that intemperance is the greatest evil
which has afflicted the human race
Yet this is the lesson that mankind
from age to age and from generation
to generation persistently forgets
Spiritual intemperance unlooses the
forces Of hate, bigotry, oppression
tyranny, and the like. any or all OF
which have potentialities for evil in
civilized communities that may be
compared only with the physical in
temperance that weakens and de-
stroys barbarous or semi civilized
peoples"
Victory in civilizations war against
intemperance in the use of intoxicat-
ing liquors will not abolish all intem-
perance. There are other forms OF
intemperance equally devastating
and intolerable.

Eye Injuries Must
Always Be Watched
ny DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN
Editor, Journal Of the American
Medical Association

Among the most frequent injuries
to the eye is penetration BY some
foreign substance. usually part OF 9
metal wheel. q hot spark OF metal
or some similar substance.
DR.. G. H. Cross has recently an
alyzed 4,541 injuries to the eyes oc.
curing in industry, Of which Z.oIt
represented substance thrown into
the eye by accident.
Another common cause IS the
caustic soda burn. There are many
industries in which caustic soda Is
used. While caustic soda burns &c
not look severe the first time they
are examined, they may seem very
serious by the third day OF the IN
jury.
It is always advisable to apply at
once to the injured eye a solution OF
glycerite of fannie acid, which neu-
tralizes the burn and checks the
burrowing action Of the caustic SOFA
Doctor Cross points out that there
are still people who look In the emo
of a gun barrel to see If it is loaded.
These are the same people who look
into the end Of a frozen compressed
air hose, who blow up water pipes,
and for whom the fool killer IS look
ing at all times.
The removal Of a foreign substance
from the eyeball is most difficult
process and one Of which only eSpe-
cially trained surgeons are capable.
The use of the magnet is sometimes
helpful, but there are many sub
stances which are not attracted by
the magnet and which may cause
great harm if they remain in the eye.
Sooner or later destruction occurs
around the foreign substances; some
times there is infection and not In
frequently complete loss Of vision.
Flying particles of hot steel are
usually sterile. However, when the
germs are not carried into the eye
with the foreign body, they are some
times brought to the eye by the blood
and localize in the spot which has
been damaged by irritation.
Eye injuries must always be re-
garded as serious until they are COM
pletely healed. Any such injury
which does not immediately respond
to treatment should be taken to your
physician for treatment.

Youth Learns a Lesson

High-thinking youth got q lesson
as to just how mean and arrogant
government can be the other day
when a body Of college students. who
sought to enter the Kentucky mine
fields, were hustled back across the
Tennessee border by county officials
under threat Of being arrested.
It may be free country, but free
dom apparently does not operate
when q group Of serious-ninded
young people seeks to get first-hand
information of the mine war which
has been raging in Kentucky for the
last year.
Fed with the ideas Of liberty and
freedom which youth acquires in the
schoolroom, the students were in
censed and insulted by such treat
ment. but they retreated across the
border to Tennessee.
There they were met by Tennessee
police who instructed them to keep
moving, and the retreat became a
rout.
These young men and women, how
ever, still held the idea that such
things were not quite within the
spirit OF the Declaration of indie
pendence and the Constitution, sc
they decided to lay their case before
Governor Henry H. Horton OF Ten
nessee.
The executive refused to see them
Not only that, he sent word that HI

tors they were liable to arrest if they

reason.

lucky mine conditions was a com.
plete bust. It taught the students
however, something far more valu.
able.
This is the fact that officialdon
can be just as arbitrary, just as all.
tocratic, just as mean and just as
narrow in the United States as any
where else.
The official Kentucky Tennessee
attitude probably was that the stu
dents were attempting to stick their
noses into something which did not
concern them. To certain extent
this is true, and yet the abuses and
illegalities which have been going on
there are a legitimate concern OF

has respect for the ideals which the
pioneers laid down for this nation ia
