Republican Tactics
Duluth HERALD

They speak Of Republican tactics in
the present sad condition Of that once
dominant party. Really there is no
such animal. Some Republicans will
affect this attitude, others that. Some
will be for acquiescence for a time in
Democratic leadership and others will
be for unending denunciation.

It Is likely that both unreasonable

prescription: Let the Republican press

things. When that administration
goes wrong. let It b vigorously as

Tax Paying Time

It seems about time that the CRY
of balance the budget" which shook
the nation during the last congress
be raised In behalf Of the city. coun-
ty, school district and other subdivi-
sions Of government.
The same benefits which will &C
crue from balancing the national
budget, II and when that ever is done,
will come to persons living in the po-
litical subdivisions II their local gov
ernments are made clearly solvent.
Many North Dakota subdivisions
now are registering warrants because
they lack ready cash. Taxes have not
been paid and 50 bills pile up or the
creditor is given paper which is not
Immediately valuable except at 4

North Dakota's Experience

The proposal from Washington to
take = large slice Of the public works
money and build better homes for
Americans will doubtless strike q
responsive chord In many parts Of the
nation.
The object Is surely one much to
be desired. Millions OF people In this
country now live in inadequate quar-
:ers. In q land with enough resources TO
see that everyone is well housed, there
are too many novels in the rural
areas, too many squalid tenements in
the cities. Surely the demand Is there.
But In North Dakota many will put
their tongues in their cheeks and wait
to see how the thing works out. This
state took fling at the housing game
and found it interesting but expen-
sive. On paper, nothing ever looked
better than the proposal at the turn
Of the last decade to have the state
finance modest homes and sell them
to workmen at cost.
But practice showed the imperfec-
tions. The homes cost too much.
Money injected into the project by
the sale Of state bonds seemed to dis
appear as II by magic. It was dif-
ficult to get . dollars worth Of value
for every dollar spent.
And 30. when the whole thing was
washed up, few who bought the homes
were benefited and the state took q
loss Of 100000.
Secretary lckes and other big shots
in the national administration can.
not be expected to take much stock
in this small-scale venture Of an
agricultural state, but 1t might be
something for them to consider.
North Dakota's plan looked just as
good at the beginning as the national
scheme does now.

Hard to Be Sorry

One finds it pretty difficult to feel
sorry for anyone connected with a
kidnapping racket, but there was 4

Kathryn Kelly told from the witness
stand In Oklahoma City which will
reach many hearts.
This was her remark that, since her
marriage to the desperate. her home
had been everywhere.
She had enjoyed no normal home
life. none Of the satisiactions which
come with putting roots in the soil.
Never has she had : hearth TO tend
while she waited tho arrival o. her

there were no such individuals as
neighbors with their kindly srsetinga
and the occasional touch Of ! helping
hand.
It Is possible. Of course, that she
didn't want things that way. A gang

As an idol have no religious views
to offer.
As a physician would advise any

As brute I believe man regards
the woman he marries either as q

The Worlds Greatest
Adventure

A very old map was found IN tne
archives Of the former sultans Of Tur-
key not long ago. It proved, to the
delight Of scholars, to be . copy Of
q map used by Christopher Column
bus himself. On the border, In Ara
bic, was the story Of Columbus voy-
ages, written for the ruler Of Turkey
by some court scribe way back at
the dawn Of the sixteenth century.
A paragraph Of this story Is worth
rereading today, as q reminder that
the whole Columbus epic Is one OF
the finest bits Of courage and high
adventure ever told.
The unknown Turkish author, after
telling how Columbus begged the
men of Genoa for ships With which
he could explore the western ocean,
quotes their reply:
"They say: oh, you simpleton, In
the west is to be found the end and
extremity OF the world and its boun-
diary: it Is full Of the vapor Of dark
ness"
There is somehow . creepy quality
to those words which helps us to un-
derstand just what an uncertain and
scary Job 1t WAS that Columbus
tackled.
The earth today offers no voyage
even remotely equal to It. For there
were no charts Of the western sea
then. A resolute and foolhardy man
heading west might fetch up any
where from the Isles Of the Blest to
the very jumping place itself.
He didn't know and no one else
knew. There was an abundance OF
weird tales about the dreadful things
that could happen to him, and how
ever much he might doubt them he
had no way Of proving that they
weren't true, but to go himself and
find out.
AL he could be sure of was that he
would sail into an empty sea, sea
that never had seen sail before
Columbus believed, as the old Arabic
writer says, that the western sea has
an end, that on the side of the sun.
set there are coasts and islands, and
many different kinds of mines, aut
also a mountain Of precious stones"
But he couldn't quite be sure. ane
there must be have been moments
late ut night, when he had only STAR
and waves for company, when h,
must have wondered II he were no
sailing right out Of the ordinary worlt
into unimaginable and inescapabl,
perils.
Those eerie words about The yapo
OF darkness" are more than an ex
pressive phrase; they tell what mos
men actually expected Columbus t
find.

les more romantic than this one q
