The Die Is Cast,

While members Of the w. G. T. u.
at Grand Forks were reaffirming their
faith in and allegiance to the prohi-
bition law recently, 1l8 citizens of
Casselton were holding public meet
ing and signing resolution in which
they pledged themselves to oppose all
congressional candidates who do not
favor resubmission of the eighteenth
amendment to a vote Of the people.

The Debt Situation

The recent declaration by Ger
many's finance minister, Herr Diet
rich, that Germany will not pay any
more reparations, would have caused
an infinite sensation If it had been
made two years ago. Now, although
1t ranks as an important international
utterance, it occasions no surprise
whatever.
It has been fairly clear for a good
many months that the reparations
cow has been MIXED dry. You cannot
get blood out of a turnip, no matter
how hard you try.
Sooner or later, of course, the whole
problem will be dumped in the lap of
Uncle Sam. BY autumn we shall have
a pretty clear idea of just what this
German refusal to pay reparations is
going to mean to us; and the horried
suspicion keeps growing that in the
end Uncle Sam will be found holding
capacious, wide mouthed and totally
empty bag.

When President Hoover told con-

weapons open to chief executive
Incidentally, he raised himself q

the idea that the budget should be
balanced and the surprising thing is
that Hoover, rather than congress,
should appreciate the fact. In many
cases the president has not been able
to sense the sentiment Of the people
very clearly, but in this case either
he or his advisers have hit the mai.
squarely on the head.
Regardless of what one may think
Of the manner in which the govern

roads, so they could pay their loans
to the big bankers, the people Of the
country realize that governmental fl

finance.

With regard to balancing the |

Mothers Day


In the course of the years America
has acquired numerous unofficial holi
days and nearly every week thai
passes has some special designation
in these times of high-power sales
manship and commercial exploitation
The result is that the average citizen
can hardly remember whether the
current week is Apple week or Grape.
fruit week.
But one of these observances which
all of us look forward to and observe
is Mothers Day.
The reason, probably, is that all OF
us have new and deeper apprecia-
ton of motherhood with each passing
day. Everywhere, all the time, there
are evidences Of the devotion and
constancy which make the mother
hood of the world one Of the greatest
forces for good which we know.
Do We seek examples Of sacrifice?
No hero of history has sacrificed more
than many mothers are sacrificing at
this minute.
Is it proof of love which We would
have? Mothers right here in Bis
marck are daily proving a love which
rivals that OF Him who died on the
cross.
Is constancy q virtue, or faith or
hope? Few Of us find better exam
piles of these characteristics than in
the mother who bore us.
And so, on this day set aside for
the purpose, we pay reverence to a
queen whose realm is our own heart.
II Mother is living we visit her if We
can and, If this is impossible, We let
her know that We think of her often
and that we are with her in spirit.
If Mother is dead, we wear the
white rose and make new resolutions
to keep her memory green in our
hearts.
And always we accuse ourselves Of
our own frailties, our own forgetful-
ness and neglect where Mother is
concerned and decide that, hereafter,
every day will be Mothers Day.
These resolutions hardly ever last,
of course, but the effort to return, at
least in some measure, the constancy
and devotion which have been lavish
ed upon us, makes better sons and
daughters Of us all. And better citi-
zens, too.
It was inevitable that Mothers Day
should be made the subject for COM
mercial exploitation and it is just as
well, for too few Of us would remem-
Der to give material evidence Of our
appreciation if the idea were not sug-
gested to us. We are like that. some
times, where we take so much for
granted as we do with our mothers.
But even as We present our gifts,
we have the consciousness that, after
all, they mean very little to her whom
we honor this day. We feel in our
hearts that the best tribute we can
pay is to make at least some Of the
dreams come true which she held for
us as she Rugged us to her breast in
the long ago.
This isn't impossible, for mothers
are always reasonable.

Faded Flowers
New York, May MANY eminent
Stock Exchange figures pass in re-
view before the current senatorial
committee quiz of short-sellers and
bears, but Joe the flower man
seems to have been overlooked, some
how, in those months the crash made
Wall Street what it is today.
The case Of Joe might be conSid-
cred typical of the general change.
Joe was picturesque bit Of atmos-
phere, rather than an important
trader.
For years it had been the custom

to identify themselves by wearing a
gardenia in a button hole. That's
where Joe came in. Stationed near
the entrance, he would sell these po-
sies-and at 81 each. A profitable
business, as you can see. He came
to know all and sundry of the bigger
and lesser "shots" and they all called
him by his first name.
Today gardenias can be bought from
any street peddler for 10 cents apiece,
or less. In the Exchange area they've
sold for as little as three-for- quar-
ter.
Which reminds me that the Mi
chael Meehan, who flashed spectacu-
larly into the investigation picture for
a day, was selling tickets for Broad
way theater agency not so many years
ago. Big market players, with easy
money in their pockets, would call on
him for seats. And, 1t was said. would
whisper good thing" in return for
special courtesies. Meehan bought &C
cordingly, and it was thus he got his
start.
