The na- tion is shocked over the revelations made at the inquiry. Americans prided themselves upon the manner in which the national game was conducted. Baseball was universally considered as one of the cleanest games played. The charges of bribery and “fixing” of the last world series injure the status of profes- sional, ball. Only a thorough housecleaning and the ;ousting from organized baseball of anyone concerned in the vicious graft will purge the game and restore it to public confidence. Comiskey has suspended every player who plotted with gamblers to “throw” the series. Un- less they can prove their innocense, he will drive everyone of them out of organized baseball. The future of the game rests solely with the man- agers who must place their teams above sus- picion. ‘ SHOWS UP FRAZIER J. F. T. O’Connor, fusion candidate for gov- ernor, punctured the administration’s arguments in a recent address at Crosby in Divide county. He revealed the inconsistency of Governor Fraz- ier and drove home with telling logic the neces- sity of supporting the fusion ticket if representa- tive government is to be testored in this state. The foljowing from his Crosby address is a matter oe record: “For yéars the farmers wanted a terminal elevator, but Governor Frazier vetoed the ter- minal elevator bill in 1917. He gave as an excuse that the bill called for $300,000 appropriation and would be paid by direct taxation. . There was $100,000 in the terminal fund at the time.” || The orgy of spending, this year calling. for’ $3,- 893,185.00 to run the state, had not yet started. “In 1919 the governor signed a bill appropriating $200,000 for immigration by direct taxation. Was immigration more‘important than a terminal? “Townley ran for Legislature in Golden Val- ley on the’Socialist Ticket. The Socialist plat- form advocated state ownership of land. Walter Thomas Mills believes the same. Do the farmers want the state 1o own their land. One more in- crease in taxes like the last one and the state will own the land.” THE CRIMINAL An incident which has just occurred in one of the criminal courts in New York City, is exciting considerable comment. Edwin D. Wheelock, a Wall Street Broker, hav- nig been summoned to jury duty, was impanelled and sworn on a jury to try two boys charged with crime. As soon as Wheelock learned the nature of the case he asked to be excused. The judge asked, “Why do you wish to be excused from this case?” “Because, your honor,” he replied, “the chief crim- inal is not before the bar.” “What do you mean by ‘chief criminal’? Who is the dhief criminal?” asked the judge. Wheelock replied, Society at large is the chief criminal, your honor; society perpetuates conditions which breed criminals, tempts men to crime and rewards them if they are sufficiently skillful in crime.” “T never heard of such a thing,” replied the . judge. “Do you mean to say that if one of your clerks stole a lot of your bonds you would excuse him and charge it to society?” “T would not hold him guiltless,” replied the juror, “but I should know that but for our vicious social system the:clerk would have no temptation to steal. If society were being tried I would glad- ly sit as a juror, but under the circumstances I do not wish to'be a party to convicting these boys of a crime.” The judge excused Wheelock from the jury and from the panel. This would seem to have.closed the incident. But Wheelock’s part has just begun. He has been receiving numerous letters from business men, : _ reformers, authors, physicians, state prisoners, unfortunate women, and others, all commending his stand and expressing surprise that a judge of experience should “nevér” have heard of such a thing.” Was his stand correct? What would happen if all men took such a stand? How would indi- vidual crime be punished? On the other hand, has he not pointed to a condition well worth at- tention? Is not society in large part, at least, responsible for the kind of men and women who make up its entity? Has a boy or girl reared in slums as good a chance to be honest, high-minded, clean and reputable-as one reared under ideal sur- roundings?“:Wheelpck has ‘performed a useful service, at least, in raising the question. RAILS TANGLED Towa is the eighth state to refuse intra-state railroad rate’ increases. The position Iowa thkes is that while the Inter- state Commerce Commission may regulate rates of freight and passenger traffic between states, it has nothing to say about what rates shall be charged within the state. Seven other states al- ready have assumed that attitude. All of which places the railway situation in a tangle, which federal courts must smooth out. Should the courts uphold the -states, railroads will not come near the large increase they ex- pected, and which, it seems, they need to enable the country’s transportation system to keep step with the nation’s production. NICKEL NURSERS During the past two years you often met the man who frowned upon thrifty habits, who scorned the rainy-day-saver, and called the careful buyer a “nickel-nurser.” The nickel-nurser was any individual who saved a part of his wAge increase, and who put it in a savings account, rather than into silk shirts. He wasn’t what you might call a “tight-wad,” far from a miser, but he did gave nickles, and dimes, and dollars. They, plus interest, now speak for themselves. For this is the day -when_nickel- nursers are doing the smiling. Their dollars rap- idly are growing in buying power; each drop in|| prices makes their dollars bigger. He who laughed at nickel-nursers is just about | through laughing. The nickel-nursex my en wear the smile. oe Henry Ford is demonstrating that the car can go down hill as well as up..,,.. Perhaps the luckiest fellows after all are those who failed to get the nomination. The former kaiser made a new will but he found he could not bequeath his bitter thoughts.

EDITORIAL REVIEW Comments reproduced in this column may ‘ i may not express the op opinions of The Tribune, are pre: sented here in order vhat our readers may have both sides of important issues which are being discussed in the press of the day. SOME ADVICE TO THE SICK . Mr. Lemke is proclaiming editorially that the | paper the farmers gave him is sick—very sick. The first impulse is to hope that it is nothing trivial. j But on second thoughts, we feel more inclined to suggest to you, Mr. Lemke, that if the paper really: has become a liability to you, as you say it has, you might give it back to the farmers as the league leaders 'did with the Consumers’ Stores after they had licked the cream from the dish. Perhaps if you turned it over to the farmers: who put up the, money to buy it in the first place, Fargo people might be induced to read it and patronize it. At least it would take the burden off your shoulders. —Fargo sKorym. Hieerel PATRIOTIC SENATOR MEYERS : v Senator Henry L.: Meyers.-has given: patriotic advice to the Demcorats. of, Montana ieavote for} the Republican candidate for state ‘offices and for two places in Congress. Possibly he ‘ay have injured the chances of‘ his party’s nominee for President, though that is problematical. His ac- tion has divorced state from nationalsfisueg: in Montana, as they ought to be everywhere. Gov- ernor Cox will have a better standing with the sober and sensible people of Montana, if Senator Meyers’ declaration serves to separate the ques- tion of the presidency from state offices, and to prevent Cox, even against his will, from being linked with the Townleyite political bucaneers. There is no argument, except that of machine politics, for electing state officers on the basis of their national party affiliations. A change of 4,000 votes in the June primary election in Minnesota would present the same question in Minnesota Republicans that Montana Democrats confront. The state issue in Minne- sota is between the Republican nominee for Gov- ernor. and the candidate for the Nonpartisan league. If Townley’s man had been nominated by the Republicans, the choice would have been between him and the Democratic candidate. Though this is a presidential year, local party politics are in a condition of confusion and break- up in many states. In the recent™Illinois pri- mary the overshadowing question was between two factions of Republicang that are so far apart as the poles on questions of state policy. In New York the ‘chances are said to favor the re-election of a Democratic governor and a Republican sweep on the presidency.

This was Dr. Pierce, who afterwards estab- lished himself in: Buffalo, N. Y., and placed one of his prescriptions, which he called ‘‘Golden Medical Discovery,’ in the drug stores of the United States so that the pub- lic could easily obtain this very remarkable tonic, corrective and blood-maker. Dr. Pierce manu- factured this ‘‘Discovery” from, roots and barks—a corrective’ remedy, the ingredients of which nature had put in the fields and forests, for keeping us healthy. Few félks or families now living have not at sometime or other used ‘his “Golden Medical Discovery” tor the stomach, liver and heart. Over twenty-four million bottles of this tonic and blood. remedy have been sold in this country. —> ner TOWNLEY STATE TICKET | Governor— J. F. T. O°;CONNOR | Lieutenant, Governor— JOHN F.
