Mr. MacDonald, while his party lay tremb- ling with a virtual vote of confidence about to be taken in the House of Commons said: In regard to our pledges and their fulfillment, why should I not confess we were a little innocent in this matter? Things which seemed very simple to carry out when we were without experience became very complicated and difficult when we be- came members of a Cabinet responsible for them. A frank statement from a man in public life of a con- dition that has been duplicated many times! Oftentimes candidates new in the political arena have been swept into office with the promise and expectation of virtually revolu- tionizing the condcut of the public business entrusted to them, fully believing they can bring a mild Utopia with the waye of a hand of power, overturn tradition and custom in a foment. And oftentimes reformers who have gone into office in big cities in just such manner have found them- selves so inexperienced that their administration may reek of graft and corruption unparalleled in machine politics. The system of government in the nation pretty well rooted. The voter may well be skeptical of him who promises too much. THEY KEEP COMING BACK Two more banks in North Dakota have reopened.

TUESDAY, JUNE 38, 1924 HOW’S YOUR HEALTH? ’ By Albert Apple Doctors claim people are healthier than they used to be. One reason is that few can afford to be ill these days. The high cost of sickness is one of the lustiest children of the high cost of living. f | A few generations ago, nearly every one had time to burn. No one rusheg unless the sheriff was after him or he was lin danger of missing a train. . i 3 3 Women sat placidly around at “sewing circles, comparing surgical operations. There was even a time when a’ woman’s social standing was determined by the number of times she had gone under the knife. Men, too, had leisure. They ¢on- gregated at the tavern bar or around the stove in the general store, swapping remedies for rheumatism, backache and the “all-in” feeling. : F The public had a morbid interest in disease. Also, it had | spare time to gratify the craving to be ill. While this might ‘not have been exactly a craving, still every one sort of ex-> pected illness as a part of fate, not to be dodged. This mental attitude made them succumb easily. Today people can’t afford to be sick. They can’t afford \the time. They can’t afford the money. Where a patient} once was reasonably sure of getting off with.a diagnosis that. he had some such simple ailment as the grippe or hives. science ‘has discovered all sorts of mysterious, complicated maladies with hifalutin’ names. : Where grandpa might have had indigestion, we can’t get off with less than boultism, excessive secretion of the endo- crine glands, or a psychic “complex.” am The old-time country doctor drove his horse 12 miles, de- voted an hour to examining the patient, measured out a quart of stuff that tasted like extract of gall, and threw in half a peck of pills of various colors for good measure, His charge was a dollar for the whole works—and he was an optimist if he expected ever to get the dollar. ’ Times have changed. The patient often is sent to have his teeth X-rayed. He’s shunted from one specialist to an- other. After a few experiences, he subconsciously discovers that he can’t afford to be sick. So he forgets about it. May- be it “gets” him and he dies. But it’s sure-fire for imaginary - ailments. A steep bill from the doctor is excellent medicine, about We're not implying that all disease is imaginary. . Far from it. But much of the sickness of former generations was either imaginary or the result of ; foolish living—gluttony, lack of sanitation, and the absence of quarantine in infectious epidemics. The doctors have taught us how to live sensibly. That’s their public service and it’s a tremendous one. I shall insist, Leslie, upon you taking two-thirds instead of one-half the profits, 1 have always thought it was a one- however, ‘my for rah and a tiger! Why, dear girl, with were temporary but which the bankers did not have time to remedy ‘n the face of a lack of confidence in their institu- tions. ‘the ability of many banks to reopen should further stren. the» the faith of every citizen in his state. The state is on a solid foundation. North Dakota cannot be kept from “coming back.” TUNING Radio already has strongly affected the electric light and power industr More people stay at home to enjoy radio, which means more use of lights and greater current con- sumption, We're quoting a speaker at convention of National Electric Light Association. Statistical business fortune tellers predict that in five years 15 million American homes will be using electric lights and at least half will be equipped with radio. Regarding who should pay the cost of broadcasting radio concerts: The electric lighting industry would find it profit- able to chip in. Also the telegraph companies, which are getting an enormous amount of new business from radio — messages from listeners to broadcasters. FLIVVERS Henry Ford now is selling is cars practically at cost, says the Wall Street Journal. It claims Ford’s profits “come from parts sales, freight charges, sale of by-products, in- terest on bank balances and securities.” We don't know whether this is true. possible. Ford’s position unique in business history. Competi- #: tion in his early days might have kept him awake nights. Now his busin is so big and strong that a newcomer tack- ling it competitively is like a boy after Dempsey. But Ford .. will have plenty of competition later—airplanes. NTERWOVEN Radio is stimulating the business of electric light and .,.telegraph companies. It is also a gold mine for the copper, .° “rubber and other industries. Illustrating how one industry creates business for others. A factory gets a lot of orders. In filling them, it generates business for railroads, makers of materials, power compa- nies, coal mines, not to mention that machinery keeps wear- ing out and has to be replaced. Industrially we are as de- pendent on each other as the tiny fossils which, clustered in millions, make up a coral reef. But it’s quite CRIME If prohibition has reduced crime, the bankers haven’t } .: heard about it. have “risen to heights heretofore unknown.” So reports J. iE. Baum, manager of the protective department of American Bankers Association: Forgeries, check alterations and minor thefts are at a rate 48 per cent higher than a year ago. Banks, nevtheles: are easily 1000 times safer for your money than any other _ hiding place you can find. That’s the primary purpose of ‘“banks—safe hiding place.
