A better feel- ing and a deeper understanding of the prob- lems before Governor Sorlie should come out of the session. Governor Sorlie made some sound recom- mendations which, due to the complexion of the legislature, could not be put across. It is ap- parent that on many issues Governor Sorlie’: vision is far ahead of that of the present leg- islature. On the eve of a state campaign there was a hesitancy to “start anything.” It was too much to expect of this legisla- ture definite action upon the problems that sonfront the state, dominated as the session was by leadership that decided in advance of assembling not to do anything constructive. There is no question but Governor Sorlie’s administration of the mill has been honest and as efficient as it could be in the face of the political conditions that confront it. Had the egislature gone more deeply into the various | audits and mill reports as Governor Sorlie sug- s gested, doubtless some constructive legislation sould have been passed either protecting the | state’s interests as long as it stays in this bus- iness or completely taking the state out ot such industry. Apparently the time is not ripe for any radical change, but should the state elect a governor without Governor Sor- lie’s conservatism in handling the Grand Forks enterprise, this legislature may regret that it did not act for the protection of the ogi when the opportunity presented it- self. Governor Sorlie sought no political advan- tage in calling the special session and if any- ane is to blame because little or nothing was retuelly done, it is the members themselves who were confronted with a very definite pro- | gram in Governor Sorlie’s message. aie A Gigantic Industry : _ One frequently hears that statistics tell aothing and that cold figures are barren of in- serest. In particular cases this may hold true, out as a generality it is a fallacy. — ~ ‘What an absorbing picture of national great- pase and industrial development is drawn and vhat a thrilling story of romance in business is feld by statistics relating to the state of the 3 obilé industry at the opening of 1928. figures command attention. “That of the 28,900,000 motor vehicles in the r0 23,125,000 are in the United States ns something to every American, and ns something far different and much less tifying to the rest of the world.

Kingsley, life insur- ance president. Mr. Kingsley is exaggerating a bit perhaps to emphasize what he says. The Declaration of Independence still holds good but he points out a weakness of which the Amer- ican people should take cognizance. “To endure,” he says, “‘a democracy must be ruled by its best. Leadership today is no longer in government. It is in science and business.” To a large extent that is true. Leadership is more in business and in science than in gov- ernment. Many of the best men, the best lead- ers, take no part in politics. ‘The really great men of America are rarely in politics,” says Mr. Kingsley. There are strong men in politics, of course, but politics carries few rewards and many troubles and much ingratitude. It is small wonder that the men best equipped to lead refuse to do so. They would have to make sac- rifices if they did. Some of them have made sacrifices and then they have been relegated again to private life by an ungrateful public. Mr. Kingsley says that we get legislators who “represent the average intelligence and sense of responsibility of, the electors.” Will the time come when the electors will insist that only men of the very highest type shall be in office? If they do they must make it worth while for such men to serve. Leadership is needed in America, distinctive, outstanding, preeminent leadership. America has prospered and it will continue to prosper, but its prosperity is due in part to leadership in business. This country will not fall but it must have leadership that is of the best. It must insist on that and it must so ame not a thing of penalty but of rewi Capital Punishment (Minneapolis Journal) In New York Ruth Snyder and Henry Gray have just paid with their lives, in the electric chair, for the murder of the woman’s husband. Out in California, the monster Hickman pos- tures as an irresponsible imbecile, seeking— futilely, we hope—to escape expiation at the end of a rope for the most fiendish crime in the history of the state. And between the two coasts Cincinnati re- cently saw a jury all but pin medals on Remus, the wife slayer. These cases direct attention to the seeming- ly endless controversy over the wisdom of in- flicting capital punishment for first degree murder. In the handful of states, including Minnesota, that have abolished the death pen- alty, there is continual agitation for its restor- ation. In most of the states that have re- tained the death penalty, there are recurrent attempts to have it abolished. In the press, in magazines, in legislative halls, and elsewhere, the debate goes on. In The Journal, last Sunday, Clarence Darrow, able controversialist, albeit with a weakness for furnishing his own “facts,” got this one off his chest: As a theoretical proposition, without the imminence of death, most all men and women prefer death to long imprisonment. There is certainly much less fear of death than of long imprisonment in the mind of one who is about to kill. __ Mr. Darrow says this can be proved by ask- ing a dozen men and women. Well, we asked a dozen men and women and they all were most emphatic in preferring imprisonment to death. Mr. Darrow offers, as further proof, the ad- mitted fact that an armed burglar will kilt, and thus invite execution, to escape an arrest for housebreaking that would bring only a prison term. Which is no proof at all. The burglar in this instance merely takes the chance of his trade. Depending on his ability to escape subsequent capture as a murderer, he kills and goes his way. He gambles a vague possibility of exe- cution against a fair certainty of incarceration. - If burglars really did prefer death to im- prisonment, then most convicted burglars would try suicide. As Mr, Darrow very well knows, most convicted burglars do not try sui- cide. But this eminent defender of the suddenly and conveniently e, this man who has won fame and fortune helping murderers sidestep the gallows he so eloquently condemns, ly need conjure up hypo his imagination to demonstrate the soundness or unsoundness of his contention that the killer prefers death to life imprisonment. Let him the | but delve into his own recent experience for a _THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE ADEQUATE SYSTEM OF COUNTY ROADS ONLY COMPLETE SOLUTION OF STATE'S HIGHWAY PROB! Highway Commission Seere- tary Tells County Commis- sioners in Convention Here That He Is Opposed to Ex- tension of State System Be- yond 7,500 Miles Provided by Law j, ERMATINGER SAYS 1933 construction will be practical- ly at a standstill unless additional revenue is provided or this state can reduce its maintenance expend- itures in a way no other state has done. Quoting from the records of the Minnesota and Wisconsin highway’ departments, Ermatinger sho’ that the cost of maintenance in-' creases as road use increases and that road use increases as the highways are improved. Mainten- ance costs in these states in 1925 ‘were more than $400 a mile and the tendency is upward, he said, Regraveling Costs High In addition to the problem of it] maintaining graded roads, Erma- state’s highway > An adequate system of county roads supe lementing the state sys- tem would provide the highways which increasing population and in- creasing road use will demand, Er matinger said. § Opposing extension of the state stem ogee 7,500 miles, Erma- ti said an army of from 1,200 to 1,500 employes will be needed to maintain roads when the state sys- tem is completed and that to in- crease the mileage will increase the temptation to use these employes for political Parle More Important The economic angle, however, is more important than the litical angle, Ermatinger said, a: cited statistics to prove that the state highway commission may be “broke” by 1933 unless it finds some way to increase its revenue or curtail its expenses. In 1927 the state received $640,- 000 from auto license fees and in 1933 should receive $800,000 from this source. Gasoline tax collec- tions in 1927 totaled $1,250,000, aft- er all refunds were deducted, and in 1933 should receive about $1,600,- 000 from a two-cent gasoline tax, making the highway revenue $2.400,000. If maintenance costs $400 a mile, tinger pointed out, the question of regraveling costs will become more important as more of the state highway system is graveled, and that this will tend to send mainten- ance costs upward. The present plan is to list re- graveling as construction rather than maintenance, but regardless of how it is listed it must be paid out of the same pocketbook, Ermating- er said, The demand for snow pre- vention and removal, bridge main- tenance, equipment operation, re- surfacing and re-oiling will inevita- bly grow faster than the mileage ot completed roads, Ermatinger said, and present expectations are that the state will have only $2,400,000 with which to meet these demands. Some persons are demanding an increase in the mileage of the state system, Ermatinger said, but a wed| sentation of a to launch such a movement, Erma- tinger said the demand should come from them as the persons most in- terested in proper service to their to promotion of the idea, Ei Inger said he would per- sonally favor withholding state aid money from counties which do not keep their roads in proper shape, 1| basing the distribution of state aid on the same principle adopted by the federal government in distribut- ing financial aid to various state highway departments. Ermatinger asked the county commissioners to consider the pre- m such as he outlined to. the ture in 1929. ——_—— \ Kt the Movies | o CAPITOL THEATRE “Ore Increasi se,” one of Lot Books of the r, has been brought to the screen yy Fox Films and will be shown at the Capitol theatre for today, Wed- nesday and Thuraday. ‘This screen version of the book by A. 8.

He said an auxiliary sy8- tem of county roads, dovetailing with the state system, would be an fdeal solution from the state’s standpoint. The First Step The first step, he said, should be a codification and revision of highway laws and the county should be empowered to designate, build and maintain its own roads. Pro-|h vision should be made for standard be] prectice in construction and design built, which by that time shi be about 6,000 miles, Erma- tinger said.

YOUR DIET All animal life requires a ‘suitable amount of the various elements in order to maintain that life, and re- pair and build tissue. These ele- poi are eel in different Lad ions and arrangements in the food adaptable for their use. One of these arrangements is a compli- ion of nitrogen, car- bon, oxygen, hydrogen, and sulphur, so grouped in a form we designate by the name of “protein.” The principal foods containing this spe- cial group of elements are meats, nuts, milk, cheese, fish. fowl, eggs, and the entire whole grains. s The largest amount of protein found without mixtures with other food elements is that in the flesh foods. Of course, all organic life will be found to contain a varying amount of these protein compounds, but their mixture with other ecle- ments often makes them unsuitable for the best use by the: digestive system of man and the animals. The animals that obtain their pro- teins from the grains are forced to use also too large an amount of starch in combination in order to secure a sufficient amount of pro- tein for their needs. They are, therefore, made sluggish and cum- bersome because of the excessive amount of starch they are forced to use in order to get enough pro- tein. Animal life or human life could not long exist if denied this indis- pensable protein material requisite for cell growth and repair. Many experiments have beer. made by diet- itians to prove the truth of this statement. In the ordinary mixed diet no fear need be felt that not enough food containing protein will be used. About a quarter of a pound of meat | daily will supply the average person | with enough protein. The fault is} that its mixture with other food- stuffs is such as to make it unfit; for proper digestion and assimila- tion. The usual course dinner often con- tains so many different proteins that three or four times as much is eaten as the body. could possibly use in one day, no matter how large the body, or how active. The urgent need is for everyone to learn how much of this kind of food the body can use, and how it should be combined with other foods to rere and build cell structure. This does not have to be measured in grams, and it is not necessary to carefully weigh each article of food for fear of using a dangerously large quantity. Nature is not so exacting in matters of diet, but allows for reasonable deviations from an ap- proximate quantity. u The average person doing hard muscular work or taking a propor- tionate amount of physical culture # Sul “1 hope I’m doing the right thing, letting you people talk this out be- fore the patient,” Miss Sutton, the nurse, worried. “But Dr. King is very eager to get any light pos- sible on the cause of her illness.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Question: A. A. asks: “Will you please tell me if there is any way to fatten the neck without fat- tening the rest of my body?” Answer: The muscles of the neck may be enlarged through exer- cise, A fat neck is not irable, but a ae graceful neck can be developed through certain tensing and other exercises which bring the neck muscles into more active use. ‘An excellent cxercise for develop- ing the muscles of the neck is: Place a pillow against the wall and, stand- ing about two feet from the wall, lean over and press your face into the pillow, tensing the neck muscles while thus supporting some of your weight. Move the head slowly in all eee at the — time pushing as if you were ving to push the pillow into the wall. mn with the back to the wall, and by pressing with the back of the head ee can tense the muscles in the ack of the neck.
