(Official City, State and County Newspaper) ir Stay on the Farm The thing which must impress the casual observer at the North Dakota Education as- sociation convention here is the evident desire, manifested by several speakers, to better edu- cational facilities for the farm boy and girl and to turn the farm-to-city tendency into a “stay on the farm” movement. The cityward trend of the farmer is revealed clearly by government statistics. In North Da- kota, though complete statistics are not avail- able, estimates of the increased population of the cities as compared to a relatively stable state population would indicate that the drift here, though it may not be large in terms of numbers, certainly is too large when placed in relation to the state’s population. So anything which may be done to put a stop to this situation is of great value. Agricul- ture courses in the schools; greater attention to the farm problems study of historical points of interest in the pupil’s immediate vicinity; inculeation of a love for the beauty evident close at hand—these are some of the methods used by teachers to inspire in their pupils devo- tion to the “home community.” But this is largely a matter of training in the schools. The students are being “sold” on the merits of the state; now it is time to “sell” the parents and through them to reinstill devo- tion in their children. Steps have already been taken in this direction, and the results have been good, but the “salesmanship” has not been far-reaching enough. Until the time when the older people—all of them—appreciate the value and the worth- whileness of their work and are able to trans- mit it to their children, before, during and after the school years, the farm-to-city jiove- ment will continue. It is to the credit of the North Dakota Edu- ‘ation association that it has taken steps to nterest the students under its supervision in orth Dakota and its agricultural advantages. f a state-wide campaign could be worked out “1 cooperation with the association members, it ould bring results beneficial and lasting. Too Early For Alignments While The Tribune has the greatest respect for the ability of Lowden, it is too early for Political alignments. Public opinion has not crystallized upon the presidential situation. The preliminaries, it is true, are in progress, but the forces which usually name candidates at national conventions are still working under cover, and it will be several months until the issues are definitely joined. The campaign is in the scouting stage; in other words the poli- ticians are trying to feel that illusive thing which for want of a better name we call the “public pulse.” Corespondents have been going up and down the insurgent westseeking sentiment for Low- den, Norris and a host of other favorite sons who, when the votes are counted next sum- mer, may not be favorites even in their native heaths. ° 4 Political manipulation moves in a mysterious way, its wonders to perform; the evolution of a candidate is an interesting and dramatic event in American politics, but history shows that seldom do the early birds get the presi- dential nomination. They are excellent pace- makers; they beat the political bulrushes and sometimes bring forth a Moses. : It is futile for friends of Lowden to feel dis- appointed or indignant because there is not a wave of agrarian enthusiasm for him. Such men as Senators Borah, Norris and La Follette are strangely cold toward any leadership aug. gested to date to the farm bloc in control “at the white house. Senator Borah says Senator Norris is an ideal candidate. Somebody else suggests that probably Borah might be a great leader for a great crisis. These are merely political amenities and mean nothing except that those in control of the senate insurgents are jealous of their leadership and don’t want it challenged or disturbed. Neither do presidential primaries always set- tle the issue. Political leaders have a way of circumventing primaries and presidential pri- mary choices are more easily buried than those selected under other auspices. In fact, to date there are few straws upon which even to spec- ulate whom the Repu will nominate for president. Nearly every strong Republican center has a Moses sloshing in the bulrushes and the sound of his splashes is heard in the land, but this impresses not hard-boiled poli- ticians who usually have their way at national conventions. It is not the intention of this ed- itorial to be cynical, but political situations must be accepted as they are. Issues and ideals alone don’t win campaigns. In the Democratic camp conditions are not so complicated. Governor Al Smith of New York is the most outstanding figure in his Barty. “He is the most natural and most likely inee for the Democrats to select, but he has bitter opposition and under the two-thirds rule governing. convention choice, Smith’s ambition to lead his party in the 1928 campaign may be squelched. Charles A. Lavi eee h from Ei vine, ome from Europe some very eventful flitting about, an- | giant of the wing type, a flivver which can be sold for $1500 and the Columbia model in| which he and Clarence Chamberlin flew to Germany. Edouard Albert, French designer of the baby plane, is coming over to superfntend construc- tion of the flivver. The machine is to have collapsible wings of 30 feet and a 45-horsepow- er motor which consumes about two gallons of |gasoline an hour. He hopes to develop it tv a place where it can carry two persons. We wonder if Levine is looking forward to a day when every city will have public airports, with municipal garages or something like that, |whither thousands of people will journey on Sundays and holidays for the “breath of fresh air” they now find so hard to get in congested traffic? And we wonder if that day really is coming—when every prosperous family will have its hangar and plane, not to mention the back-seat driver? The huge growth of the airplane industry in the last few years doesn’t deny it. | Editorial Comment Death Recalls a Tragedy (Time) On a bright, sunny Sunday morning, June 28, 1914, the Archduke Francis Ferdinand, ac- companied by his morganatic wife, Sophie, duchess of Hohenberg, drove down the streets of Sarajevo. Soon a bomb came hurtling through the air, crashing on the roadway be- hind the royal automobile, exploding with a deafening roar. Reaching the town hall the archduke walked up the ‘steps in a towering rage. Snarled he to the mayor: “Mr. Mayor, I come here on a visit and I get bombs thrown at me. It is out- rageous. Now you may speak.” Leaving the town hall for the residence of the governor of Bosnia the royal car made a wrong turning and while the chauffeur was backing the automobile several shots rang out. The royal couple fell back mortally wounded. In consternation orders were given to drive on to the governor’s residence, but before the two-minute drive was over the duchess was dead. Fifteen minutes later the archduke died, shot through the jugular vein. His last words were: “Sophie, live for our children!” A few days later a memorial service was held in the cathedral at Belgrade and was attended by royal representatives and high government officials, despite the fact that it is now gener- ally believed that the Serbian government, if not the actual instigator of the crime, tas at least aware of the plot to kill the -archduke and made no effort to frustrate it. And before forty days and forty nights had passed the world plunged into the greatest war known to history. In 1917 six of the leading assassins were tried before an Austrian court. Three were condemned to death; three were imprisoned for life, they being too young to get the death sen- tence. All are now dead. Recently, as it must to all men, death came to Milan Ciganovitch, 40, last of all the assas- sins. He is said to have been the protege of the late Premier Nikolai Pasuitch, who sent him to the U. S. for a year immediately after the murders. On his return to his native land he received a large grant of land at Uskub, where he lived in affluence until his death. His part in the assassination, for which he was named in the Austro-Hungarian ultimatum to Serbia, was restricted to supplying bombs from the royal arsenal in Belgrade. The Fight Film Law (Chicago Tribune) The United States grand jury in New York city has been investigating the showing of the Dempsey-Tunney fight pictures in New York theaters. The’ jury was confused regarding! the federal law which penalizes with imprison- ment or fine any one who transports prize fight films from one state to another. The jury turned to Federal Judge Goddard for help. In answer to questions from the jury the judge said the New York theater owners had com- mitted no offense in showing the films and the film dealers have committed no offense in handling them, although both owners and deal- ers knew that the transportation of the films was illegal. Even if the distributor knew that the man who offered him the film had trans- ported it illegally, the distributor is not liable to punishment, the judge explained. The fight film law is both an absurdity and a failure. It serves only to bring federal law into disrepute, and it ought to be repealed. The moving picture interests of the country, which are obliged whenever congress is in session to defend themselves from efforts to impose a na- tional censorship upon them, have here an op- portunity made to their order to assume the offensive against their detractors. Instead of waiting for the attack the film companies can demand the repeal of the present statute and force the opposition to defend it. Thus a pleas- ant time will be had by all, a bad law may be repealed, the moralists will have a good ex- cuse for appealing for more money, and their efforts to enact a federal censorship will be postponed, for a time at least. Women Will Talk (St. Paul Dispatch) Wives of the enlisted men at Camp Meade have the war department on pins and needles. They refuse to be bound by the departmental order against officers and men talking to news- paper reporters about living conditions at army posts. They have already given the reporters an earful and stand ready to bring up more ammunition in their fight for better quarters. “Women ought not to talk,” says a spokesman for the war department, “but the army has no control over them!” Water ought not to run down hill always; but it does so wherever it gets a chance. © e war department has no direct authority over the wives of officers and enlisted men. That it can exercise an indirect control over them by visiting their offenses on their hus- bands is generally known. That it will do this at Camp Meade is unlikely. The wives of of- ‘icers and enlisted men at army posts must live in quarters provided for them by the war lepartment; and if these quarters are not fit for human beings to live in the country oughi to kriow it. The requirements of discipline may justify gagging the members of the fight- ing personnel of the army. They do not justi- fy muzzling the talking end of the service. i now that he is going to settle down i Good luck and a congressional medal to the wives of Camp Meade! LETTER BY RODNEY DUTCHER Washington, Oct. 28~The Fall- ‘inelair j like most juries, is an ordinary jury. It is noteworthy that in Washington, where nearly every- one seems to be working for the government, no federal employes are among the twelve.

Ordinarily, when milk is used at all, it should be used as a meal itself, and not in addition to any of the customary three meals a day. 2 QUESTION: S. H. A. Jr. writes: “I am a young man of 30 years and have heart trouble (mitral stenosis) which has existed since birth. I |have heard that near my 21st birth- day I may expect a change for the better, the explanation being given that during youth at intervals of seven years a change occurs. Is this true?” ANSWER: It is true that heart disorders of childhood often grad- ually disappear after adolescence, but do not depend too much upon this possible change. Start in eat- ing correctly so that you do not have an excessive amount of gas ressure against your heart, as such gas pressure is the most common cause of all heart derangements.

I'm sick of having ‘my ' sympathy demanded for @ lot of foolish pub- licity-seekers.” Before Faith could think of some. thing absolutely unirritating to an- swer, Joy came into the dining room, dragging a sweater over her un- combed blonde hair. “Cherry's sick,” she announced excitedly. “She says she don’t want any breakfast. Can I bathe the baby, Faith? I can dot it! I wouldn’t be very late for school.” “No, certainly not,” Faith an- swered impatiently, “Go back to your room and comb your hair, and then ask Cherry what she wants me to bring her for breakfast.” She did not dare look at Bob for fear his face would be suddenly flushed with anxiety. So her predic- tion about Cherry had been wrong. Cherry was not as fresh as a new- cut nasturtium, The melodrama of that ridiculous shameful evening had not left her unscathed. Perhaps she was really in love with Bruce Pat- ton, had been driven to almost in- sane desperation by his flagrant flirtation with her sister. Or—may- be that kiss to which she had chal- lenged Bob and which he had an- swered so fiercely, so hungrily, had opened an old wound, the fever of which was now a physical scourge in her blood. “If Cherry is ill, Joy,” Bob halt- ed the sulking clild brusquely. “tell her to take it easy. I shan’t ex« pect her at the office today.” A few moments later Joy return- ed. “She says she don’t want any breakfast at all, and she don’t want anyone to come near her. I guess she’s pretty sick. She looks just awful. Could I stay home from school, Faith, and help you?” aries and taxi-drivers laughing hys- terically at my efforts at pronounc- ing street numbers. . . .
