Foley, North Dakota’s poet slaureate, told The Tribune yesterday that 10 tyears ago he took a good hot bath, using an/ tentire cake of ivory soap and got out of politics. | +. His host of North Dakota friends, and may- ‘be it’s more than a host, for everybody who knows him loves him, will get quite a kick out of that. It’s so like Mr. Foley. He was too big and fine and idealistic and _ capable in the larger things of life to longer ' concern himself about the play of human am- _ bition that is politics, | . How like him, too, is his statement that he is | trying to translate 40 years of experience into terms of useful service and that he is especially interested in youth. Most of us in all groups who have contacts ‘with the business of politics would like to take @ hot bath, using an entire cake of ivory soap, and get out of the game. But that cannot be. We would not have ahead of us the opportunities that were Mr. | Foley’s. So there is just one thing to do. That ds stay in the game and keep it as clean as we Mr. Foley was not casting aspersion upon i politicians or their undertakings. Few _ know better the constructive opportunities for that come to the politician. Few know | be the sacrifices men make in the game. | How nice it mist be to be “all washed up” ‘of politics. | | ___ Watching the Children Play +: Have you ever watched children play? | ¢ Probably not, if you. live in Bismarck.

It appears to be quite pronounced wherever the issue is clear-cut between himself and Mr. Hoover. No doubt full cognizance of this fact will be had at Kansas ‘City when the Republican Mr. Heover can hardly be the beneficiary. Discounting the Veto The country at large already has discounted 20| President Coolidge’s prolable action in vetoing 20/the McNary-Haugen bill. It is very clearly indicated. The president was too definitely committed on every principle involved to change front. The northwest generally will regret the presi- the measure should have a trial. There was some doubt about how it would operate. Its most ardent supporters did not call it perfect, neither a panacea for all the ills of agricul- ture. The principle involved will continue to be an issue. In the national campaign it will be a big issue. = Thousands of farmers will be disappointed. It is quite natural that these should reason, and rightly that the first substantial aid they will receive will come through their own efforts in better farming in more diversification and in close study of the farming business, for busi- ness it has become on a large and ever-in- not mean,that the farmer and ovld drop their fight for legisla- tive relief. Perhaps it is true that you cannot jate prosperity. But you can educate by uation is one the country needs It is very close to its happiness prosperity. gn for the Mc- -Haugen bill has disclosed many manifest inequalitics under which the farmer works. It has clearly indicated there must be tariff re- vision in his interest. The protection blanket must cover the farmer. The e of tariff revision seems to be well chosen the next objective in the farm relief fight. If it were possible to pass the bill over the president's veto little would be gained. But tariff revision is always a live issue. It ho have opposed farm relief as proposed in the McNary-Haugen bill will understand and respect. So it suecceds the McNary-Haugen bill as the direct issue. Editorial Comment Mellcn’s Endorsement (Jamestown Sun) The politicians of the nation are all “het up” teday over the statements of Secretary Andrew Mellon that Sceretary Hoover, if he is nom- inated, will be easily elected. The statements of Mr. Mellon, however will have little or no effect on the voters of North Dakota and the northwest. The northwest sidered Coolidge’s choice, and is an opponent of the McNary-Haugen farm relief measure, and it is doubtful if he would receive a consider- able vote in North Dakota even if he should be nominated. The farmers of the northwest, and especially of this section of North Dakota, are not, pri- marily, interested in national politics at this time, except insofar as it affects the progress of national legislation that will put them on a par with the other industries of the nation. Lowden’s Clear-Cut Statement (Valley City Times-Record) A couple of days ago Frank O. Lowden came out in a statement that if the republican party did not put up a candidate for the presidency that was in favor of farm relief that the party THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE CAN HE PIECE HE DRAGON — WASHINGTON LETTER : , BY RODNEY DUTCHER come fixed there.” Thousands of Washington, May 23.—Thanks to|pamphlets were distributed and the Senate and the ral Trade |scores of propaganda speakers sent Commission, parents are now ade-|into the schools.

Mr. Lowden never spoke a more truth- aa few words than those he uttered at that ime. ‘Furthermore, he stated that he did not want the nomination and would not accept it unless the party came out flat-footed for farm relief. The fault does not lie with the republican party —it lies with the president. Congress—a re- publican congress--has on two occasiohs passed the McNary-Haugen bill, only to be vetoed by a republican president.

The progress of the swelling is similar to that caused by the heart derangement. Only a physician is able to distinguish be- tween the two kinds of dropsical conditions. A careful examination is necessary to' determine whether the circulation of blood is defective, or whether the stagnation of the lymphatic circulation is from the kidneys. A form of dropsy less! frequent- yy met with is a water dropsy pro- luced when the liver becomes en- gorged with toxic material. The usual treatment for dropsical symptoms is to administer a drug, such as digitalis, to hasten the in- terstitial blood flow, or contract the small capillaries. In those cases that are not relieved, the swollen parts are punctured by an ordinary aspirating needle, with rubber tubing attached, which may be left in place for hours, thus draining QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Question: H.

Would like to try an orange diet if I thought it would henefit me, but I am so thin I am afraid to try the diet for fear of losing more weight. Would it help any to eliminate starches and sugars instead of taking the orange diet, or what would you advise?” _ Answer: Do not be afraid of get- ting thinner on the orange juice fast as it cannot hurt you in any way, but will surely bring rapid results in the cure of your catarrhal troubles.

A Step Farther (Devils Lake World) Now Uncle Sam has gone and done it! Congress passed the Mississippi river flood control bill, and contrary to expectation, Presi- dent Coolidge signed it. Not since the first imaginative resident of the Lake Region in North Dakota visualized a fresh stream of water flowing into the alkali beds of Devils Lake has the prospect for the diversion been so favorable. In addition to the $70,000 origin- ally set aside by the Army engineers for the thorough study of the-Missouri's reservoir pos- sibilities, there is now a fund of $5,000,000 with which to enlarge and amplify the work. And best of all, it is provided that as soon as the Army engineers begin their actual con- struction work of dikes and levees in the south- is, the surveys of the reservoir sites in trib- utaries of the Mississippi should be launched. It is highly probable, according to Greater North Dakota association and diversion offi- cials, that the first crew of inspecting and field engineers will arrive in North Dakota before this yéar is spent. Then we may hope that the engineering data prepared by all of the collaborating bodies may (9 of » sattcwnly FORTinging Baris that a lavorable report may le on this diversion of the Missouri’s ot amas through the Lake .
