Governor Frazier may be wholly right in his‘attitude. Everything he says about Wehe may be true and then again every- thing that Wehe says about Frazier and McDon- ald may also be veracious. The public would .like to hear both sides under oath. If Governor Frazier has taken his stand purely for the good of the service, he will not smother the affair and let Wehe wend his way quietly and unsung just like “Marse Jim,” Neil C. Macdonald, Stangeland, Madame Lund, Halli- day, Thomas Box and “Jack” Hastings. Mr. Wehe has made the serious charge that the bureau is a clearing house for the state federation of labor. Frazier comes back with the assertion that Wehe uses the stenographers, stationery, of- fice space and other appurtenances to promote his law practice. e charges on both sides are serious enough to warrant an immediate investigation. . Editor Candidates are learning that one who throws his hat in the ring uncovers his record as well as his head. ‘THE NEW RULER~ “Woman has been faithful in a few things; now God is going to make ber ruler over many things.” So spoke Susan B. Anthony, mother of woman’s suffrage, some 50 years ago. The hour of ful- fillment is here. Yet, face'to face with national woman’s suffrage, even the most sensitive of pol- iticians no longer feels that dread thereof he for- merly professed. ; Were not many evil ‘things‘to happen when woman was enfranchised nationally? Home life would be destroyed. The hation’s moral fabric ‘ would be weakened. Mother love, the most beau- tiful thing in nature, would be undermined., Near- ly every politician was bent upon averting the dis- aster. ‘ But how times have changed! Today politi- cians are eager to place women on local, state and national committees. And with what pride a po- litical leader announces that Mrs. Jones, presi- dent of the Woman’s club, has consented to be- come a member of the executive committee of his organization; or that Mrs. Smith, president of the Mothers’ club will be on the campaign com- mittee! : : , If it is the universal fault of politicians that they are the first to fight a proposed reform, it should be credited to them as a virtue that they are ever quick to recognize and ‘make the best of a reform that has become or is about to become'a fact. So that, fulfilling Susan B. Anthony’s half cen- tury old prophecy, woman already is enjoying her rulership, even before, nationally “speaking, she has had an opportunity to vote for president} ; Bolshevists claim that Alaska is trying to sep-,| arate fromthe United States. No, no. , That’s New Jersey. “SHAMMING DEATH” A spider, disturbed at her work, crumples up until the intruder is goné; and it is the thing to say that she is “shamming death.” F A fox squeezes through a hole in the hen coop, eats its fill and can’t get out, and then whan the farmer comes Mr. Fox lies motionless in a orner —until the way to the open door is clear, when out he dashes. Another case of “shamming death.” 3 Not at all! In neither case do psychologists believe that the creature was trying to look dead. Dead spiders do not necessarily crumple up; and a deliberate effort to look dead involves far more intelligence and self-control than serious students believe that any animal possesses, In providing for the safety of her creatures, Nature leaves liti¥e to their judgment. She sim- ply fills them with fear and compels them to do one thing or the other, to rush away in frenzied flight, or to stay where they are in motionless paralysis. : In man both tendencies are present, and a terri- fied child may either run or lie quaking where he is—under the bed clothes perhaps, or in the safer refuge of his mother’s arms. What people take for a shamming of death is nothing more nor less than the paralysis of fear. And this paralysis really does make for safety. It is the moving creature that catches the eye, As for the fox in the hen house, he was domi- | nated by. both.» instincts. in succession—flight 'when that was possible, and paralysis when it jwa8 not. But even ‘the foxies4 fox is not a psy- chologist thinking how he will look to a farmer. Why is it that a senator, presumably ‘sane, can neglect his own business while trying to run Eng- land’s? THEN AND NOW Irv Cobb, the eminent humorist, tells how, in the days of his callow youth, his favorite sport was playing hooky, and that now his greatest hobby is work.. { Tell your little boy to clip and save this bit of information, suggesting to him that he pass it back to you the evening you come home and make the frivolous assertion that unless he studies hard at school he’ll never amount to a-row of pins. Many colleges are forming Hoover clubs. Now if he can win the support of the electoral college, the rest will be easy. HUMOR ¢ From such an authority as Ellis Parker Butler, who some year§ ago. made the nation laugh over the humorous absurdity, “Pigs is Pigs,” one is informed that there are,just 10-kinds of humor. And he goes on to tell about it. Ellis says one can get just as big a laugh by poking the baby in the ribs as he can by composing the finest line in the world. ‘Says he: “The first method of humor is a breezy exag- geration, the Mark Twain style, which predom- inates with the Yankees. “The second is founded on a person’s real or feigned: ignorance. . Almost all child humor is founded upon the child’s ignorance of something we fully understand. “Third, there is thenative modé which Barrie so generously employs in his Scotch stories. “Fourth, there is the ridiculous, calling direct attention to something we consider ° impossible with ourselves—the fat man in a silk hat on a slippery pavement, for instance. ' “Fifth, the repetition of something more or less unexpected, like ‘Pigs is Pigs.’ ip “Sixth, the sudden let down from the extreme; ly serious to-the extremely frivolous. . “Seventh, the use of extreme analogy, mostly used by cartoonists. ° : ; “Eighth, the more or less- disguised practical joke practiced principally in stage comedies, such as the custard pie in the face. - “Ninth, the gradual expansion of anything that has ridiculous’ possibilities. ‘ “And lastly, untimeliness, something’ that has no particular humor in itself, happening jat an opportune time.’ For example,’things happening ‘at a funeral, wedding oy any serious gathering.” Bring on any brands of humor yoy possess! Let’s chuckle. ¥ The army reorganization bill may provide an Indian unit for the military machine, but Lenine is informed that it isn’t a Red unit.! General ‘Macready is now head of military forces in Ireland and the government is deter- mined to keep Macready for trouble. The American Museum of Natural History says the eagle is about to become extinct. That one on the dollar has lost his old time vigor. EDITORIAL REVIEW Comments reproduced in thjs column may or may not express the opinions .of The Tribune: They are y= sented here in order \hat our readers may. have both sides of important issues which are being discussed in the press of the day. PRESIDENTIAL STRAWS The Literary Digest is taking a straw vote on the presidential candidates, It lists 18 democrats and 13 republicans and Herbert Hoover. | It puts Hoover in a class by himself, presumably because he had not announced when the paper. went to press-that he was a republican and nothing else. Twenty-five thousand votes were polled in time for the issue of April 17, of which General Wood had’ 5,857 as first choice and 3,215 as second’ choice, and took the lead on the republican side. On the democratic side Mr.,Wilson, with 1,070; Cox, with 1,123, and Edwards with 1,087, were bunched for first place. Mr. McAdoo was next with 852 and Mr. Bryan received 667. On the republican list, Johrison -is next to Wood with 2,884 and Harding, third, with 2,361. The Hoover vote—3,968—is made up of 1,719:democrats and 1,697 republicans and_ 592 of other parties. It will be interesting to see whether Mr. Hoover gains or loses in the next report, now that he is to be'regarded as. a republican’ candidate solelf, and it would be interesting, also, to know how many of his 1,919 democratic votes would stick. —Minneapolis Tribune.

Owatonna, Minn.—"T have been using Dr. Pierce’s remedies for years, with wonderful results. The best test I made of them was when I was recov. ering from an operation a few years ago and needed a tonic.. Then I used the ‘Golden Medical Discovery’ and the ‘Favorite Prescription’ altern- ately. I think there is no medicine on the market that can beat Dr. Pierce’s.” Mrs. F, W, Kexyoy; R.
