And probably not one of 50 people, having the name Bennett Doty tioned to him, would know who he was, ough they read dispatches of the great 3 associations about him day after day in The daily papers. ; po (i many people will remember—or do re- er—who Mrs. Sam Smith is?

The navy may be over-officered, but it is a very definitely proven fact that, though it may be easy to obtain enlisted men, it is hard to obtain good officers. Furthermore, as Pres- ident Coolidge has pointed out, if there anything for officers to do elsewhere, it is | right for them to be in Washington, where their expenditures are less than in the field. As in- surance for protection, an oversupply of of- ficers is far better than an undersupply. But it is up to the navy department to make some answer to Rear Admiral Magruder’s charges. There very probably is justification for every one of the things which he criticiz and if there is, the public should know about it. If there isn’t, steps should be taken to eliminate any wastefulness which may charac- terize the navy department at the present time. | Editorial Comment | Radio Wise-cracking (Minneapolis Journal) | Philips Carlin, noted broadcaster visiting} the sixth annual northwest radio and electric show in the Minneapolis auditorium, brings word that the days of the wise-cracking an- nouncer are numbered—that the public wants more program from the artists, and fewer wit- ticisms, real or pseudo, from the man who in- troduces the artists. If Mr. Carlin is aiming a sly rap at some of the second raters who try to be funny and fail, then let us applaud. But if he really means that such masters of the microphone as himself and his peers are going to confine their efforts hereafter to bare announcements of the artists names and their programs, then let us regis- ter regret. For just a little wise-cracking by a really clever announcer is welcome spice. A dull toastmaster can ruin a banquet hy futile ef- forts at cleverness. So can a dull announcer ruin a radio program by unsuccessful attempts at comedy. But let us not forget that a really witty toastmaster can save from ruin an other- wise boresome banquet, and a really witty an- jnouneee can add much to the enjoyment of radio, Let us hope, then, that we are not to be d prived, in future, of the spicy asides of G ham McNamee, when we listen to the play-by- play oral account of a sporting event. And let us hope that the really clever boys, although they may curtail them with profit, will not eliminate altogether the inspired remarks with numbers of evening musical programs. It was Mr. Carlin himself, if memory serves, who last winter, when a singer advertising a cough-drop concern had to stop to cough in the middle of a number, told the audience thai the artist would resume after taking a few cough-drops. Such stuff as that helps out a program. We hope Mr. Carlin’s Minneapolis remarks may be interpreted as meaning that hereafter announcers will keep still, except when they have something really clever to say. The I. C. C. Vacancy (Valley City Times-Record) There will soon be a vacancy on the Inter- state Commerce Commission caused by the res- ignation of Henry C. Hall to be filled by ap-|f pointment by President Coolidge. Several state officials and friends of Frank his name to the president for his consideration. Whether Mr. Milhollan stands any chance of obtaining the appointment or not is a matter of conjecture. However, the Times-Record be- lieves that Mr. Milhollan is eminently fitted for the position and we believe that his appoint- ment would be for the best interests of North Dakota and the entire agricultural northwest. Mr. Milhollan has served the state of North Dakota for several terms as railroad commis- sioner and in that capacity, even through the hottest political campaigns the state has ever known, his honesty, ability or sincerity of pur- pose has never been questioned. He has been an efficient official and through his work on the state commission has attained an enviable position in traffic circles throughout the nation. He is frequently called to Washington to confer in matters of interstate commerce and has sat with the federal commission on numerous oc- casions when knotty problems concerning rail- which they have been wont to interlard the I had the power to blush like a girl her again, with b loved her, loved h travagant complime!

He holds a high official position in the national association of railroad commissioners and his judgment in rate mat- ters is sought by leaders throughout the coun- try. There is little question but that agricultural interests are given as little consideration as political expediency will permit in matters of rate adjustment. North Dakota and the entire agricultural northwest needs an advocate in the inner circle controlling the rate structure of the country. That advocate must have other influential politicians—he must be a man thoroughly conversant with all matters affect- ing the freight rate structure of the nation, he must know the detail necessary for setting up poper rate schedules, he must be young enough to have the physical ability to stand the grind of an extremely strenuous position, and he must have the mental agility necessary to skillfully, logically and forcibly present his de- mands for equitable adjustments and fight those demands through to a successful conclu- sion. A man of that calibre could do much to re- lieve some of the freight rate burdens placed upon the shoulders of agriculture by commis- sioners who are not in sympathy with, nor un- derstand, the problems of the northwest armer. The Times-Record believes that Mr. Milhol- lan is that calibre of man. We know that he understands the problems of North Dakota and its farm population.

Not that angvone sent these sen- ators back as advance guards, but their own interest in their jobs has been of distinct. service to their colleagues who are far enough away to be virtually in- articulate. .

A laboratories of Sheffield University showed that the concentration of alcohol in the blood was an indica- tion of the state of drunkenness. In_a consideration of the views of Dr. Carter, it was pointed out that the concentration of alcohol in the breath may also be deterr:ined and that it approximates closely that of the blood. Some persons are affected by much smaller quantities of alcohol than are others and it is therefore necessary for the courts to take into account the reactions of the Person arrested as well as the amount of alcohol that he may have imbibed. Not infrequently the shock or excitement of being ar- rested serves to steady the person to a condition much different from that at the time when the accident occurred. Excitement Prof. J. T. J. Morrison of Bir- mingham found that the person who had indulged too freely in alcohol was likely to fall into a profound slumber within ‘> minutes after being placed in the cell.

Some of Senator Pat's enemies have been accusing him of harber- ing hopes of running for vice president on a ticket with Al Smith,. but charges of similar heinous ambitions have been lev- eled at most other important south- ern Democrats, so it probably doesn’t mean anything. Harrison tells of “one of the finest pieces of lard in this coun- try” down in old Mississip’ which used to sell for $250 an acre and which was lately offered to him for $25 an acre. He cites other specific examples to show that farming doesn’t often pay any more and then expresses the be- lief that the Senate can agree on a relief measure this winte: which can be passed over the Coolidge veto if necessary. He believes that the Democrats can wage a hot campaign on the issues of tariff reduction — which he believes vital to the farmer, corruption and _ special privilege, although he admits that the people may be too lethargic to get excited over these issues. Senators and congressmen will be drifting gradually between now and December. Perhaps a majority, especially over on the House side, will wait until the last minute and arrive, just for the opening, but many prefer to get on the job well in advance. ———— ——— | BARBS Se Maybe the flappers keep so well use a good healthy germ one care to waste time on tid- its. a ee “Let's Be Divorced” is the trade name of perfumery products spon- sored by an opera star.
