That is everywhere in- sicated in the middle west. e This is a practical condition and it must be geckoned with in a practical way. The prac- vical answer would seem to be Lowder, or Jawes, or Curtis as the party’s nominee at Sansas City. 4 Governor Lowden clearly indicated in his re- ‘ent appearance before the senate committee hat the Republican faith that is in him still is trong. He is doing his party real service of a thost practical nature by his frank declara- ions. Meantime the Democrats are watchfully waiting and rolling up a margin for Al Smith €t Houston. They are preparing to become the <eneficiaries of any failure of Republican lead- rship to see the situation as it is. c a e rz 1 BY] Let Us Hate Not at All z Entering the present state campaign it is aacent that between the opposing factions re is more disposition to reason together. The trend in that direction has been distinct ‘or some years. It is pronounced at this time. 4 Whatever his political affiliations every forth Dakotan who has the interests of his te at heart will welcome this condition. North Dakota is politically progressive. ere isn’t much question about that—using term progressive as it is applied to the Re- blican grouping. 4 Circumstances prevent the issue from being ixactly clear cut at this time. But the time is ot far distant when it will be. The Nonpartisan League of today is not the sonpartisan League of Walter Thomas Mills, ‘Arthur LeSeuver and others of their day. Its ‘ead ship is progressive. It is doing nothing o foster the old hatreds. The Independent faction qualifies as a bal- ince wheel. Its militancy is subdued. Yet in ‘She larger aspect it has a useful field of activity in this state. i; The factions are good for each other. Sometimes a candidate here and there in Soth groups loses his head and voices senti- ments that are outworn in North Dakota. That 3 only natural and to be expected. Personal Ambition ever takes itself seriously. But the old spirit of hatred is gone, never ‘return. It is better so. It has the biggest e to a grand getting together of North otans for North Dakota. “Let us hate not at all” would be a good otto for the militant partisans of all group- ~s to adopt. 4 They are adopting it. The people are forcing ym to. For the people are tired of hatred and fpitterness. They want reason and progress. And they will get it. A The Pioneer Builder 2 The-pioneer development era of the United tes is passing. It was a colorful era and it is tted that with its passing go motivating fluences for which the succeeding order would e much better. é The pioneer knew few obstacles.

There is nothing more refreshing in this age of sophistication than to come again in con- tact with the pioneer spirit as it is still to be found in Dunn and a few other North Dakota counties. All the world admires the builder. His work is never lost in any field of endeavor. He seldom takes credit to himself. His artificing is upon the basis of “After me cometh a builder.” What a debt we owe this old rough-and- ready engineer, this practical builder for the in- stitutions of today as we have developed them. He laid the corner stone of them all. Control and the Machine President Lewis E. Pierson of the United States Chamber of Commerce tells members of his organization that the United States is facing a new and important task. “It must prove,” he says, “that production is its servant and not its master. It must dem- onstrate that it has the will and skill to control the machine it has created.” During the last century and a half the whole organization of human society has undergone a complete change. The introduction of steam engines, followed by electricity and gasoline motors, effected a revolution more sweeping than any change that had come in a thousand years preceding. Now, as President Pierson says, the time has come when we must examine the new order very closely and see whether we can make it yield the most possible good for all members of society. In the old days the chief problem of the com- mon man was to escape from political oppres- sion and get a voice in his own government. After long centuries of struggle, with the American and French revolutions as a climax, he succeeded. And then the industrial revolu- tion gave him a new problem, From that time on his chief need was economic freedom. All-powerful in political affairs, he began to discover that that did not necessarily mean much, after all. He could elect his national officials and make his own laws, but he was at the mercy of the men with money—the men who owned the mills; the rail- roads, the mines and the banks. He had won one fight only to find a new situat‘on that made his victory hollow. Having gained political freedom, he now had to win economic liberty. That is the issue that faces the world today; and that is one of the issues implied in Presi- dent Pierson’s warning. We have developed a marvelous system for making and transporting things; we must see to it that i: remains our servant and does not devour us. That does not mean that we must all turn socialists, or that we must hedge business around with a million governmental regulations. It does mean, though, that it is supremely im- portant to the nation that industry enlist in its service the very best minds the country has. The directors’ room is growing more signifi- cant than the legislative chamber. The future lies largely in the hands of the business man. He has a tremendous responsibility. Presi- dent Pierson’s speech is an encouraging indica- tion that business is beginning to recognize it. | Editorial Comment North Dakota Has Oil (Oil Journal) Cuttings from the Glenfield deep test well which has now been sunk to the 2,800 foot level have been sent in to government geologists at Washington for examination . . . . On the basis of what these cuttings indicate to government geologists they make the state- ment that North Dakota is underlaid with oil and that the first enclosed structure that is drilled in the state will bring in production. The cuttings indicate that North Dakota has passed through the same geological history that other sections which produce oil have passed through, and the only thing left fo make a strike is the location of a dome that has not been drained. It means that North Dakota has oil and all that is left to make the state a producer is the location of formations. Massachusetts Debunks the Falls (Minneapolis Tribune) The debunking artists are at it again and this time they're straining our own Minnehaha Falls through their precious sieves. Still blushing over the codfish on its automobile By RODNEY DUTCHER NEA Service Writer Washington, May 22.—There are many stubborn critters who refuse to admit that Herbert Hoover has the Republican nomination dangling from his girdle and the best bet one can get on it here is even money. But Herbert's hand is loaded with so many trumps that the chances of the opposition lie chiefly in some- what desperate measures. He might miserably misplay his hand—and then again, the boys who now look like losers may steal his cards or upset the table. Heaven knows they will do either or both if they can, eee On the face of things, it ought to be about over. Hoover has far more delegates than any competitor, so many that the field is united in an’ attempt to gang him. He is the only candidate who has aroused any particular sentiment in the politically powerful east, along with the border states, the south and the far west. He is the only candidate in his party who has shown a disposition to go out and fight for primary votes and he has done better in those primaries than many of his Hie supporters expected him to lo. Now he has the endorsement of the saintly Mr. Mellon, with its tacit inference that Mr. Coolidge isn’t unkindly disposed toward him, and is more than ever tagged as the nearest approach to an administra- tion candidate. eee It will be hard for the party to take Mr. Hoover. To take him it must violate various precedents, something the party hates to do. For instance, with the excention of Grant, no man has had the Republi- can nomination without a_ sub- stantial record of partisan Repub- licanism behind him. No Repub- lican president has had a nomination after being opposed at the outset by a united sectional opposition like Lowden’s. And a few more things like that, always remembering that Mr. Hoover has broken precedents before. The trouble is that it is likely to OUT OUR WAY, license plates, Massachusetts casts about, like a self-conscious child, for some means of for- getting its embarrassment. Thus it stumbles, in its extremity, across the undebunked Min- nehaha legend. The plot, as we see it at this distance, is to hammer away at the Minnehaha fraud until the nation works itself into 2 fine lather and forgets the license plates, notwithstanding that the cod is an essential and inelegant item in the Bay State’s cultural existence. Hence we have the Massachusetts Historical society suggesting that Minnehaha Falls no more in- spired Longfellow’s famous “Hiawatha” than Mr. Ponzi inspired the much less famous bal- lad, “I’m Forever Blowing Bubbles.” Such skepticism, of course, is a little dis- heartening to those of us in Minnesota who assumed Longfellow had taken a box lunch to Minnehaha park and penned his verses, in a moment of inspiration, within earshot of the falls. We had always taken the statue of Minnehaha and Hiawatha, which now graces the park, as proof-positive that the whole sparkling romance actually progressed under the supervision of the local park board, and that Mr. Longfellow had merely recorded the affair in something much better than dog- gerel.. If not, then apologies to Boston and Cambridge, and a violent salaam to the Mas- sachusetts’s Historical society for calling the matter to our attention. The matter is not serious, for “Hiawatha” has already made the falls world-famous, and they will likely stand —or more appropriately fall—on their estab- lished reputation for a good many years to come. The Washington myth, after all, still publicizes the cherry tree, Rupert Hughes not- withstanding. But the Massachusetts attack. which centers about the claim that Longfel- low never visited the falls, seems just a trifle| weak. After all, Massachusetts, there was Dante’s “Inferno.” The descriptive details, so far as we know. were all gathered second hand. THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE | The Old River That Takes Away’ Much—But ‘Gives Back’ More WASHINGTON LETTER TUESDAY, MAY 22, 1928 the anti-Hooverites dig a success- ful pit or plant a bomb that really explodes. There are enough slip- pery Hoover politicians to help him avoid the pitfalls, but they'll be the first to run if any bombs go off. And Mellon, of course, has left him- self a good-sized hole through which to climb back.

Furthermore, Mr. Hoover repre- sents the administration policies, | and the only other important can- didate does not.

If any horse flesh figures at all, it must be a big black stallion like Coolidge, Hughes or Dawes. Cool- idge can only be taken as a desper- ate measure. Hughes is a good bet to beat Al Smith in New York but not worth a whoop in the west, arfal Lea is poison to the administra- ion.

In fact, I have seen many lists of foods that re- sembled a medical pharmacopeia, but I have found that the belief in specific curative foods is largely one of superstition. Foods are only “curative” when they supply deficiencies in the diet. I frequently use the orange juice fast in diseases where there is a condition of acidosis, that is, a lessened alkalinity of the blood, be- cause I have found in my private practise that no other method will increase the alkalinity of the blood as rapidly and, at the same time, permit the elimination of poisons unhampered. The reason that we do not con- sider starvation and excessive thirst as diseases, and food and water as medicines, is because of the obvious cause and effect. Yet, food would undoubtedly help a starving man more than all the medicine in the world. There is no doubt that many diseases are caused directly by a lack of certain elements in the food just as other diseases are caused or at least prepared for by the over- eating of rich pastries. Scurvy was the plague of the middle ages. Every boat going on a long trip or every large military encampment was likely to suffer its quota of victims.

Enclose a stamped addressed envelope for reply. frequently their diets are lacking in important elements so necessary for growth which are found in the fruits and green vegetables, Health is not obtained by stuffing with food or quantities of drugs, but with a well balanced diet containing all of the essential elements, eaten in the proper combinations to avoid intestinal poisoning—taken with sufficient exercise and fresh air to insure consuming the surplus and eliminating the waste. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Question: J.

In this sense only may food be regarded as a medicine. Fortunately, because of the abundant supply of food at the dis- posal of civilization, scurvy is rare among adults, but it is all too fre- quently found among babies, par- ticularly those who are fed exclu- sively on those prepared baby foods, or pasteurized milk, from which vitamin C is absent. Had they been fed properly, with the addition of orange juice, this trouble would have been entirely avoided. I have prepared an article on the feeding of infants which I will be very glad to send if you need it. Practically all children would develop into strong healthy adults if they were properly fed from infancy. The citrus fruits are possibly the most valuable foods to use in the majority of diseases, but of course one should be very careful not to use them in combination with starch ‘|because this will very likely pro- duce fermentation enough to off- set the good of the fruit. “Recently a test was made in the Berkeley, California, schools where- in certain groups of children were given oranges at recess. The weight increase was even more than with a similar group who were allowed a glass of milk each at the same re- cess. This confirms my own dis- coveries that the increase of weight is often more than can be ac- counted for in the mere addition of Question: Mrs. L. M. asks: “Will and answer column how to prepare Salisbury steak?” Answer: This steak is prepared by grinding through a meat grind- er only the red, lean part of round steak from which all gristle and fat have been removed. This may seem similar to “Hamburger” steak, but it is really more palatable and more easily digested, and has an entirely different flavor when the fat is left out. Press the ground meat into a dry cake pan to a depth of about one inch, place in a hot oven and turn the fire down. Meat will cook through in about five minutes. A tasty addition may be made by grinding spinach or parsley with the meat. Question: L. W. asks: “Is the only way to cure mouth breathing by re- moving the toxsils and adenoids? When I wake in the morning my teeth and tongue are coated with a hard, dark substance which washes off like blood. What is the cause, and how can it be stopped?” Answer: Surgical removal of adenoids, or reducing them by diet- ing, are the only cures for mouth breathing, but I consider the treat- ment by diet to be the best and of more lasting benefit in every way. Enlarged tonsils can be reduced to their normal size by diet treatment alone, and operations are not necessary. The dark substance may be caused by bleeding from the gums. Consult your dentist. come in early. She did, early in the morning. But that wasn’t the worst of it. Norman was taking me out for a game of golf this morning, or so I thought. But when I called his aunt’s apartment at ten o'clock he hadn’t got up. I told Florence we might as well go some place and have lunch and maybe go to a matinee but she said she couldn’t because she was lunch- ing with Norman. Well, that’s what I call betraying a trust. She also added something about a mar- ried woman’s place being in the home. But along about 12:30 I had my revenge. She called Norman her- self—just to get my goat, I guess. He was still asleep and his aunt re- fused to wake him. It looked like we both were stood up, so when Pede called and asked me to lunch with him I had to say yes just to show Florence that I haven't died with my shoes on. It’s the first time I’ve seen Pede since the day he bashed Norman in the eye. And he was as sweet as could be to me. Nothing for even you to criticize, Mom. Devotedly, ARYE. NEXT: Mom blames Marye.
