His entry into active poli-| tics came late in life and not until the rise of the Nonpartisan | League. To the advancement of chemistry along practical lines, | Senator Ladd contributed in a great degree. His fame as a chemist was national and even was greater than as anj| educator, although he did much to build up the Agriculturai | College. When the federal government began its crusade to super- | vise the marketing of food products, the proper labeling of | paints, oils and other commodities, Senator Ladd was among | the best informed men in this line. He was frequently in conference at Washington with Prof. Wiley of the Depart-| ment of Agriculture. Much of the data used by Prof. Wil in his fight against food adulteration was furnished by Sen- ator Ladd when he was head of the department of chemistry at the North Dakota Agricultural College. When the use of coal tar derivatives for the coloring of | a food products came into use, Ladd protested vigorously and succeeded in securing state and federal legislation to pro- tect various foodstuffs. He lectured extensively over the nation upon food adulteration and was a recognized au- thority in this field. No state has as stringent regulatio1 affecting the manufacture and sale of food products, medi cines and beverages as this state. He was relentl in his warfare upon those whom he had reason to believe were “doctoring” their product so as to profit at the expense of the people’s health. When he succeeded J. H. Worst as head of the Agricul- tural College, he became interested in agrarian problems, especially in milling and seed selection. His experimental mill at the Agricultural College gave real scientific service in determining the milling values of the different kinds of wheat. In later years he followed closely the gluten test as a basis for grading wheat and fixing its price on the great primary markets of the world. North Dakota will miss his services despite the fact that many challenged his political ideas. Senator Ladd accepted the endorsement of the Nonpartisan League, but he must be classed as progressive rather than radical. His whole educational background tended toward conservatism in many things, but his inexperience in public lifé and the trend of poiitics often swept him into alignments and public en- dorsements in the championship of which he was not very enthusiastic. He was a tireless worker in committee, and seldom partic- ipated in debate, but when he discussed matters of an agri- cultural nature all factions in the Senate gave him an at- tentive ear. He was consulted frequently by his fellow sen- ators upon agricultural problems to which he had given life study. Senator Ladd resented being read out of the Republican party by the senate organization. Born in Maine, a staunch Republican state, he had been identified with that party until he broke with the leaders and followed Senator La Follette in his insurgency. His death reduces the leadership of the insurgent bloc in the senate. Brookhart is fighting for his seat against a contest. Senator Frazier has been eliminated from the Re- publican organization. Senators Shipstead and Wheeler have Jost ground since the La Follette defeat and now the passing ‘of Senator Ladd removes another from the insurgent ranks at a time when their cause can illy spare the loss of so alert and vigorous a propagandist as was Senator Ladd. The state and the nation owe a debt to Senator Ladd for his constructive work in the field of chemistry. He never seemed especially happy or effective when he left the school- room for the hurly-burly and rough-and-tumble contest of politics. He was not a practical politician. Early in his public career, he entered the La Follette school of political philos- ophy and attacked what was referred to by its leaders as “predatory wealth.” Occasionally, but not frequently, he differed from La Follette, but on all fundamental issues, he ‘was a hearty and loyal supporter of the late Wisconsin senator. / “Senator Ladd had a firm hold upon the farmers of this state. Long before he entered politics he was a familiar figure at the various farmers’ institutes. He was learned in the chemistry of soils and his expert advice did much to pro- mote agricultural prosperity in this state. In most cases his advice to the farmers was sound except where he entered “the field of politics. His experience in marketing and ‘finance was largely academic and his opinions on problems of distribution did not always carry conviction. An excellent ‘educator but not an outstanding statesman sums up briefly the career of Senator Ladd. He was a lovable character on the personal side, He did not carry into his campaign any of the bitterness that characterized the political contests of ‘the last six or seven years. Senator Ladd was approachable by all factions and as far as the routine of the office was “eoncerned he looked after that in an intelligent manner. He strived hard to serve the state honestly and efficiently within the limits of his political experience. His advice in the fields in which he was best equipped to counsel a young and growing agricultural state will be h ji a I a SEE See aS It is just as bad to have no courage about your convic- ‘tions as to have no-convictions at all. | The pre-war stuff sold nowadays is apparently made be- ‘fore the war that‘is yet to come. | “Life is sweet,’ the optimist-says. “But oh, the pang _of it!” says the pessimist.

Mr. Bryan has a fine contempt for scientists, but he at east retains respect for the words of great authors, sancti- fied by time. ‘ i Well, here are two, respectfully referred for his consid- eration Bacon, in his essay on atheism, quotes from | Epicurus: aa “Non deos vulgi negare profanum; sed vulgi opiniones ‘diis applicare profanum.” “Impiety is not in denying the | gods of the ignorant, but in applying to the gods the opinions {of the ignorant.” | Also, Bacon himself says, on superstition: “The Master jof Superstition is the People; And in all Superstition, Wise Men Foilow Fools; And Arguments are fitted to Practise, in a reversed Order.” Bootleggers Representing science, the | prescribing liquors. will be persons legally certified as physicians who will go into the boot- ‘legging business wholesale.

A Challenge to America’s Laws Chicago had 170 murders in the first 151 days of this year. That is unusual; but not so unusual as a fourth of that number would be in ‘any equal population in the countries from which Chicago's inhabitants came. Compare the number of “old American” murderers with the record of England, or of the immigrant na- tionalities with the records of the countries from which they came, and you will find that the same numbers of the same sorts of people com- mitted many more murders in America than in Europe. Some of the reasons are doubtless obvious, and explain if ‘they do not excuse a part of the difference. But, even with this allowance, the | situation is a challenge to our law, | government and institutions to vin- ‘dicate themselves.

In addition she gathered roots and herbs from the woods, or cultivated plants of curative properties in her yard or garden. Doctors were fewer in those davs. They often lived at a great distarZe, and with no telephones nor auto- mobiles it was difficult to obtain a doctor on short notice. Times have changed. There are more physicians, and they are more efficient. Corner drug stores have sprung up in nearly every locality. So mothers are learning to depend upon the drug store and the doctors, alcohol not a necessary medicine. prese oct d ithis year protested against the law limiting physicians in The application varies, but human mental processes are much the same, from age to age.

But once leave it to the individual physician to say, with- out limit, who shall have liquor, and how much, and there had personally voted even for that in the Senate—but he did speak of it as, in Europe, for its members, a safe- guard of European peace. This is, to be sure, also the an- nounced position of President Cool- idge; the known view of Secretary Kellogg and of his predecessor, Sec- retary Hughes; the established pol- icy of the American government, and the undoubted sentiment of the Am- erican people.

It should not be necessary to run to the drug store or call the doctor every time Johnny cuts his finger or “stumps” his toe. The medicine cabinet should be re- instated in the home.
