Major Stanley Washburn, who is a candidate for the Republican nomination for Congress in the Third New Jer- sey district, is an Easterner, but he is well known in this . state. North Dakota will now learn whether the Republi- ~ cans of New Jersey have the sagacity to pick a good candi- date when one is offered. Major Washburn’s experience ought to be invaluable to him in the national Congress. It ought to be of marked value to New Jersey and to other states. A newspaper man who fought vice to a standstill in Minneapolis, a war cor- | respondent who gained intimate touch with foreign affairs in all parts of the World, an adviser to American high com- missions, an officer of the United States Army during the World War, in which he was wounded — these are among the qualifications which Major Washburn offers the voters = of New Jersey. 4 Major Washburn aroused widespread interest in North Dakota last fall when he came directly from President Cool- idge with a constructive message upon the President’s efforts for all the people of the nation, and agriculturists in partic- ; ular. He brought a message of optimism to North Dakota. He won wide attention by his organization of the North! . Dakota Coal Operators’ Association. Major Washburn could * serve his colleagues well in Congress, by interpreting to them the spirit of the West. The Eastern press indicates Major Washburn is making a campaign on the slogan “Have Faith in Coolidge.” Major Washburn who first emphasized this slogan in North : Dakota. He knows Coolidge, and because he does, has faith in him. CURE FOR THE GRIP ON US “It (golf) may also prove to be the safety valve for the high nervous tension that is gripping so many of us,” ob; serves the Dallas Dispatch man. Oh yes, possibly there are some wild, woolly Texans who get the safety valve effects, but it seems like only yesterday when a dear neighbor persuaded us to take our nervous tension out to the city links. _ ‘Even the family doctor said that golf was a smooth, scothing recreation, conductive to mental poise and nerve catfulness, and, heaven knows, some sort of safety valve was needed, after publishing the details of two big national political conventions. First thing, neighbor paid a fat caddie boy to put his hand over his mouth and snort at our lavender golf stock- ings, and raise our nervous tension to 120 degrees centi- grade. Then, neighbor palmed up a neat hill of sand, put a clean homeopathic pill on its top and advised. “Let your stance be. enue, swing with the body, observe the wind’s direction, and it it!” We thought he meant the wind and hit it five times run- ning, whereupon our fat personal caddie boy went to one side and laid down. “Oh, Henry!” exclaimed neighbor’s wife, who had just arr.vcd to see us do the safety valve, “do show him a bit. He should swing lower.” This sent nervous tension up to 190 deg. Fahrenheit. But Henry be hanged! We took a firm grip on the bat, swung as low as we could reach. and Mrs. Neighbor went down under a bushel of deeds pons, sand, thistle roots, sand, ordinary sod grass and sand. Ti the lady was a golfess with a safety valve, it wasn’t working, and under the urge of what she said our nervous tension soared ’way above any degrees marked on the ther- mometer. And our dear littlé caddie boy replied, “Don’t give up! It‘s only a nine-hole course!” Fourteen miles or more farther on, we heard two very worthy, reputable expert golfers and citizens beyond re- proach repeatedly yell “Fore!” and “Let through!” or some- thing, and had the pleasure of witnessing their release of nervous tension through the safety valve by a most earnest fist fight. Albeit, this is no brief against the soothingness and nerve relaxation of golf. Very probably, as in other noble sports, such-as draw poker, bridge whist, horeshoes, button-button- who’'s-got-the-button ? etc., it is the excess that isn’t good for high nervous tension. Certain ft is that many office-ridden citizens find, in the open spaces of the'links and in the club house lockers, safety | . valves that they couldn’t get elsewhere. _ So, vell “Fore!” if there’s a lady within two miles, hit the : pill in the nose, and may your every drive be at par! Claim * par, anyhow, for your nervous tension’s sake. MARKET The more the people make the more they spend.

NOT ONE REGRET Forty-four years ago the Kansas | legislature banished John Barley- corn, his heirs and assigns, in the briefest of prohibition acts. The amendment to the state constitu- tion, which created a condition of aridity in Kansas, is worded as follows: i ‘The manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquor shall for- ever be prohibited in this State, except for medicinal, ecientific and mechanical pur- poses. If prohibition, real effective pro- hibition, is undesirable it would 0 | seem that Kansas should long ago have reached such a conclusion. But the Kansang have no regrets. Various Kansas organizations recently published and distributed throughout the nation a circular entitled, “The Victory Message to the World.” It is neither boastful nor vainglorious so to denominate the Kansas accomplishment. Pub- Nc sentiment in the sunflower state has whipped the liquor trade 30 thoroughly, so finally, that Kan- suns are justified in calling their accomplishment a victory. For victory it is, in the fullest sens? | ot the term. We talk today of the difficulty of enforcing the prohibition laws, of the “personal liberty” element in our national life, of the dissent- ing opinion that inevitably must attack any law, either openly or covertly, whether that law be wise or foolish, just or onerous. But correctly to comprehend the scope and exactions of the task tackled and trimmed by Kansas, you must cast back for forty years. Truly those early Kansans were pioneers of prohibition. Forty years ago the saloon.was,in the saddle, and awloon, brewery and distillery were might® tics. Forty years ago Sitf.wa@s commonly re- garded as’a man’s*own concern if he chose a shortcut to ruin. Forty. years ago, and especially in such country as Kansas—where the dust of the wagon trains scarcely had settled — every ‘hospitable home had its full jug. Yet Kan- sas enacted prohibition. “Today,” reads the message from Kansas, “more than four decades after the passage of the amendment, there is found throughout the state a well-de- veloped temperance conscience— a strong: disgust for intemper-' ance. A respect for the law. which‘ in early years was brought about by compulsion, now is vol- Each generation is far- ther removed from an appetite for poisonous drink.” The Kansans who signed this statement are not proper targets for the sneering criticism of anti- prohibitionists. .Their views are in nowise puritanical, their noses! are average noses, they do not go! about in funeral frock coats andj rusty tall hats. nor.do they carry) bulbous umtbrellas. They are; average Americans, dwelling in an! average American state. Among; them are Henry J. Allen, ex-gov- ernor of Kansas; Governor Jona- than M. Davis, Attorney - General G. D. Griffith and William Allen White. After 44 years of prohibition Kansas declares that it wishes no modification or repeal of the law, that ease of enforcement grows with enforcement, that prohibition is the state’s best business asset, that many crimes common to liq- uor-selling communities are ab- sent in Kansas, that Kansas chil- dren grow to maturity without the taint of liquor, that conviction of violators is easier now than ever before, and that undesirable influ- ences were banished from the state when liquor was banished. In a word, Kansas proclaims that prohibition when effectively i administered, accomplishes in fyllest measures all that the friends of prohibition: ever claim- ed it would.;; Here is a fact for the wets to stub their wayward toes on. And here, as well, is a source of renewed confidence in the eventual success of national prohtbition — not a partial, but a complete, vindication of the great- est social experiment ever at- tempted by any nation. What Kansas has done America can do. And in honor it can do no less.— Hoittland MDregonjan. ALWAYS ON TOP The French practically always get the better of inter-Allied nego- tiations, because they never go in- to a conference without the ad- vantage of a stronger strategic. position. Their great advantage consists in the fact that the British govern- ment, also. is a signatory of the treaty of Versailles, and is bound by its signature to conform to the spirit and letter of that inexorable document. 7 5 But in addition, the French have the advantage of being more will- ing than the other confevees to ac- cept the consequences of rupture. They enter a conference armed with an ultimatum and a sufficient readiness to use it. The other conferees are more conciliatory, well-intentioned and more afraid of the consequences of disagree- ment. If the present British govern- ment, for instance, fails to obtain some arrangement with France it four and a half million vacuuntcleaners, two and a half mil-' 1s likely ‘to be defeated in parlia- i; lion electric washing machines and millions of other elec- tric devices. : + Wealth, if wise, would for selfish reasons raise wages and the standard of living as high ,as possible. ‘i ; ; SOLDIER : : Enlisted strength of the regular army is now about 124,- , 000 men. This is one soldier to protect the lives and pro- iH petty a every 900 Americans. — \ Aine: 4 ch soldier is guardian of two or three million dollars * worth of-national wealth. You wouldn’t think go, to examine ; * ment, whereas the Herriot gov- ernment is certain to be thrown out provided any agreement which it accepts compromises future French freedom of action. For all these reasons France is certain to get the best of any bar- gain to which her government con- sents. Yet it should not work that way. In actual fact she profits by agreement and is weakened by rupture. Yet because she is des- perate and ready to e risks her Mirrors take the conceit out of sensible people and put the’ conceit into foolish’ people. Difference: between kissing and being ‘kissed is there is no satiéfac- tion in the former. ; Autos are not as thick during the rush hours as some of the drivers. Women never will be men’s equals until men object to being hugged. A self-made man is usually” one who selected a wife that made him work. What this country needs is more hound dogs and less lap dogs. * The human race is said to be 800; 000,000 yeard old. In all that une men haven't learned better/than laugh at their -wives. If everything got lost as easily sas a ood ‘pipe, everything would stay lost most of the time. ° Ministers telling about fire and brimstone ought to scare a lot of people during the hot weather, Perhaps fat men make the best salesmen because they have the bulge on the slender salesmen. If we got everything we wanted we wouldn't want everything we rot. The last rose of summer and the last nose of the summer are not gone. Life is getting so complicated. Now it is just three or four darn things after three or four others. Soldiers of fortune usually end their days as soldiers of misfortune. Our idea of a good time is sitting around wondering how tired we would get if we were not foo lazy. Women make better swimmers than men because they get their training during bargain counter rushes, Two can live as cheaply as one until the bills start coming in. It takes a train only a second to win the decision over an auto. Summer wouldn’t be so bad if. it weren't for the hot weather. 7 BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON “Why did you make so many ex- cuses to leave Mister Rhino's house?” asked Nancy as Weeny trot- ted off with the Twins on his back. “Why did you say the baby ws sick and your mother was aw: and everything like that when wasn't true?” ii “Why, how do I know it wasn’t true?” said Weeny. “You know very well it true,” said Nancy severely, “Well, mebbe it wasn’t,” Weeny. “But I got tired of him having to have his back scratched every two minutes. Besides, every time he said his back was itchy, it made mine itchy, too. Oh, say, is that a peanut-tree over there?” “I’ve told you over and over,’ Nick, .“that peanuts don’t grow on trees.’ “I know,” said Weeny. | “They grow in paper-bags on stands. always forget.

Sandwiches, ice-cream, pop, candy and peanuts. Parking space free!” “Parking space free!” exclaimed Weeny. “Then I'll park myself right here and now, and see what happens. I must have some peanuts! . Have you any money?” “No, not a-cent,” either have I,” said Weeny cheerfully. “Isn't ‘it ‘dreadful? To be on your’ Vaéation without any money ‘and peanuts right under your nose “Well,” why don't “you come, and buy sométpirig?” asked a voice, and Charley’ Mohkey ‘stuck’ his head’ up over ‘the ‘counter of the stand. “Free parking is only to bring customers and—Well, I-declare! If it isn’t my old friend Weeny from the circus,” he ‘exclaimed, “Hello, Weeny!, I'm cértainly ‘glid to see you. What brings you here?” “Peanuts!” Weeny was just about to: say, but he changed it to, “Ad- venture!. These are my friends, the Twins, Mister Monkey. We're all on our vacation and: just happened this way. -Can. you change a ‘hundred dollar bill2” Charley usta) nearly fell over, he was''s6 sutprised! “No, indeed, I can't Weeny!” he said. “I haven't seep a hundred dol- lars in all my life $0 I can't change a hundred dollar bill now, But I'll tell you what I'll do. Just help yourself to everything you want and stay as long as you like and we'll fix it up some way.” “Thanks ever so imuch,” said Weeny, his trunk watering ' like everything, the peanuts ‘smelled so good. “You're welcome,” . said ‘ Charley Monkey. “But would you mind’ do- ing me a “favor?” 2) “Certainly not,” said’ ‘Weeny. “What is it? I only hope you:.don’t want your back’ scratched. ‘That's the only favor I don’t feel: likedoing anybody just now.” : Charley . Monkey laughed. “No, that.isn’t it,” he said. “I, want, to:go to a ball game this afternoon and thought mebbe you'd watch my stand.” “Sure we will!” shouted. “Won't we, Twins?” “Yes, indeed,” said Nancy and Nick, jumping down.

To those who may-not have been on a vacation a wise tip is this: get in a little rowing every day if you happen to be near a lake.
