(Official City, State and County Newspaper) CAPTAIN OF HIS SHIP Sir James Charles, commodore of the famous Cunard} Line, died the other day just after his ship, the Aqui- tania, had docked at Southampton. He was to have retired at the conclusion of that voy- age, having completed 50 years at sea. As the Aquitania approached the British coast he felt ill; yet he refused to leave the bridge when urged to by his subordinates, sticking to his post until after 3 a. m. when the ship docked. Then he retired to his cabin and collapsed, dy- ing a short time later. In the long history of the sea and the ships that sail it that little story probably could be duplicated dozens of times. The law of the sea, unwritten but binding, is explicit. The master—the man to whom command is given—must always think first of his ship. He must perform his duty to the last before he thinks of him- self. If disaster comes he must see every other soul safe in the boats before he himself leaves; if he is ill he must remain on duty as long as his legs can hold him. Probably that is why most of us have such an in- 8tinctive admiration for sea captains. We recognize that they order their lives by sterner standards than ours. They submit to a discipline of which we know nothing. They have evolved a strange, commercial sort of unselfishness, in which they accept the notion that a cargo of hides or sewing machines is worth more to the world than the life of a brave man. Yet they have their compensations. They are spared the perplexities and doubts that beset us on shore. Most of us move a part of the time in a sort of mental fog, in which the difficulty comes from the fact that right and wrong are hard to distinguish. We make mistakes, Rot because we are wilful but because we are blind. For the sea captain duty is always clearly defined. If it is sometimes hard, he at least knows what it is. Sir James Charles, clinging to the bridge rail in his last hours, paid with his life for his fidelity, but at least he knew exactly what that fidelity required of him. surely cannot explain this case, because letter carriers also are paid even more poorly. What's the answer? It’s hard to tell; unless, perhaps, the professor agrees with the writer of Ecclesiastes, that “much study is a weariness of the flesh,” and wants to spend the rest of his life exercising his legs and resting his brain. LADY ASTOR, RIGHT AND WRONG Lady Astor, American-born member of the British Parliament, has some interesting things to say about war. When she says men have failed to stop war, none can dispute her. But when she declares that only wo- men’s influence can end war, we are a little inclined to wonder if she isn’t a mite wrong. Granted that all the women of the world wanted to end war, we still would be skeptical about Mars’ demise. There are so many differences in the world that must be faced, and these differences burst forth so suddenly and with such heat, between peoples who seem natur- ally opposed, that we must retain a doubt that even the women could smile them down. Lady Astor must know, of cou: se, that humanly, men and women are pretty much alike. She must know that all women do not love one another any more than all men share only fine affection for all their brothers. There are dislikes; it seems they simply cannot be avoided, and while this human factor persists, Mars is going to keep his armor shiny. We have a lingering suspicion that maybe back in the dim, dead past somewhere, some woman actually caused a war. Maybe some historian will bear us out in this, Within memory, it is easy to recall pictures of Russian women in the trenches. Perhaps they were only fighting to end war, but they were undisputedly at war. We do not think women will end war. We do not think war ever will vanish from the world. Of course, it’s nice to try to stop it, and to that extent we appre- ciate Lady Astor's efforts. | Editorial Comment | RUSSIA'S GRAIN (St. Paul Daily News) American grain markets thi: week have been influ- enced favorably by reports of heavy purchases by Rus- sia. me of it is being bought in this country, some in Argentina, but in either case it is a factor in the Amer- ican market. The impression over the world is that Russia, once one of the great grain producing nations of the world, has fallen down on the job since the war and is now forced to depend on other countries for its wheat and rye. Such is not the case, however, if the explanation of the soviet government is to be accepted. According to one high Russian authority, the acreage ad produc- tion of grain in the soviet :tates is now practically the same as before the war when Russia annually exported huge quantities of grain. But now the bulk of it is raised and consumed by peasants owning and cultivat- ing small tracts, whereas in the pre-war days most of the land was owned and operated by large landowners who exported a large part of the crop, leaving the Peasants a bare subsistence. , That is why Russia is coming to America and Argen- tina for bread grains. The United States, tv the way, his displaced Great Britain and taken second place as an exporter of goods to soviet F -usia. 7,000,000 NEW VOTERS (Albany News) Simon Michelet, president of the National Get-Out- the-Vote club, estimates that there will be 7,000,000 new voters this year. He estimates also that at least 35,400,000 votes will be cast in the presidential elec- tion, where 29,000,000 voted in 1924. He finds also that women are showing more interest than they did four years ago. ‘The main trouble with most of us is the complexity of life. We are capable of great industry and great sacri- » fice if only we knew just what we were supposed to do. Black and white, too often, merge into a sort of indis- tinguishable gray. We are befogged, looking vainly for a@ sign. The sea captains are lucky. If we can find codes sim- * flar to theirs—codes that are unyielding, rigorous and plain—we may count ourselves fortunate. To know ex- actly what one’s duty is is one of the greatest boons a ‘man can have, JURY-BAITING Along with court procedure, judges, lawyers and pub- lic prosecutors, the jury has come in for a great deal of adverse criticism in this era of discontent and dis- , Satisfaction. There has been too much jury-baiting.

For one thing, a jury consists of twelve persons—twelve average persons all presumably free from bias. It is decidedly unfair for a person, ‘who has not attended the trial, to find fault with the verdict of twelve others who have. The uninformed are prone to blame the jury when the fault really lies with court procedure, the laws or * the lawyers. The jury is more sinned against than sin- ning. The jury system would be a failure, indeed, if every verdict were determined by the swing of public opinion. Society requires the talesman to enter the jury box with ‘an open mind and keep an open mind until all the evi- dence has been heard, but the jury is rebuked if its ver- diet is contrary to the conclusion arrived at by the pub- lic before the trial. Than the jury system, there is no more impregnable bulwark of American liberties. Regardless of the mis- takes of particular juries, the eternal jury is a guaran- * tee against oppression by unjust laws, unreasonable penalties, stupid judges and unscrupulous prosecutors. When these things appear the horse sense of the jury © makes short shrift of them. As one side must lose in every trial, jury-baiting us- ‘wally can be traced to a poor loser. The winner finds i THAT 58,250,000 Recent figures offered by the American Bankers’ ‘Association are interesting, if not surprising. The sav- ings division of the association offers statistics to show » that nearly one-half of the people in the United States hold savings bank accounts. In thirty-four states where figures were available, the number of such depositors was found to be 48,250,000. In the lack of accurate returns from the other fourteen states, it is fair to assume that there are 10,000,000 more savers in those states. In the southern states the ratio of depositors was computed at 14 out of every 100 people. This ranged up to 89 out of 100 in the cannier New England district. four states was $26,000,000,000 at the end of the fiscal year. The total represented a gain of about 1,368,000,000. more than double the advance in the years. best available proofs how to live, but how to But will the 7,000,000 new voters vote? It may be expected that they will, that they may show an even greater interest in their right of the franchise than others who have had that right for years but have failed to exercise it. In 1924 the stay-at-home voter aggregated about 52 per cent of the total number eligible to vote. That is a reflection on the good citi- zenship of more than half the qualified voters in this country. The stay-at-home vote could carry an elec- tion in America. = There is gocd reason to believe that the total vote this year will be nee: Both parties will do their utmost and various other organizations, nonpartisan in form, will add their efforts. The man or womag who does not vote has failed in the first duty and the first privilege of citizenship. He has failed to take a part in the government of his country. Stay-at-home voters should be ashamed of themselves, “ “CONSIDERABLE SHUCK UP” ‘ (New York Times) ‘ the very mountains shaking? That question by eter in one of Schiller's plays would have to answered in the United States today, politically speak- ing in the affirmative. Also the prairies are quivering, the cornfields of Iowa sharing in the convulsions which are also crumpling up the cotton plantations in Texas. If one were to read only the dispatches telling of con- ventions and committees planning angry revolts and passing resolutions against their own leaders in their own parties, he might think that the fountains of the great deep were broken up and that a spirit of revolu- tion was abroad which would throw the Presidential campaign out of all reckoning. But some of the up- heavals, as reported or threatened, are so fantastic as to seem not only incredible but too comic for political human nature. Here are Texas Democrats vowing that they will never vote for Governor Smith, but cheek by jowl with them are Texas Republicans who give it to be under- stood that Smith is a man after their own heart and THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE ji era | The Burning Issue! | ¥ ~FRIENDS, COUNTRYMEN -- ASK You-+ WHAT ® \S THAIS GREAT QUESTION ON EVERYBODY'S LiPs TO-DAY ~~2-- HOT ENOUGH FOR You ? BY RODNEY DUTCHER (NEA Service Writer) Washington—For the very first time, the wets and drys are going to fight out their row on a national scale, Prohibition is the big issue. Both parties stand for peace, happiness, Prosperity and little else. The Democrats aren't out to destroy the tariff walls. But whereas the Re- Publicans have an _ Eighteenth amendment enforcement plank and a candidate who stands on it and the Democratsare forenforcement of that one along with other laws, there is only one Al Smith, and he is the candidate who has boldly reiterated his stand for modification. Smith is his own platform. Both wets and drys are reminding every- one of that. Both have been assert- ing confidently that a national ref- erendum would uphold them. This isn’t a referendum, but it’s the first time the issue has been allowed in a presidential campaign. The election is not likely to de- cide anything. Plainly or other- wise, other factors may prove to have exerted the balance of power. Probably ttere will be an alibi for each side in case of defeat. Smith will win in a number of dry south- ern states; Hoover probably wili carry some wet states elsewhere, A straight-out referendum doubtless would go dry-—most people here be | think so. But Smith’s hopes for success are predicated on holding the dry solid south in the Democratic column. Af- ter that he must clean up in the east, where his modification views will do him some good. It’s almost like starting a poker game with a pile of the ether fellow’s chips. The Anti-Saloon League is not happy. The same league officials who predicted a very few months ago that Smith couldn’t possibly be nominated now predict that he can’t can’t possibly be elected. They may be more confident in this second prediction—and with good reason— than in the first, but they can’t af- ford to be wrong twice. that they cannot stomach Hoover. Then we have that heroic band of “Constitutional Democrats” in Texas who peanoss to run an independent ticket, with Hoover on it instead of Smith. ere is no occasion to ask how this can be reconciled with the nomination of Presiden- tial electors, required by law, since the Hoover man- agers have already refused to have his name go on any ballot of that kind. That particular revolt, therefore, seems like a right wing of an army cut off and sus- pended, as the military phrase is, the air. Kindred rumblings are heard from the Corn Belt. Representatives of one does not know how many farm- ers in how many states meet in Iowa to affirm that the Republi: betrayed them, and that the pl rm comes nearer to satisfying the po- litical demands of the Middle West. There appears to be no open endorsement of Governor Smith, but there is an explicit and bitter condemnation of President Cool- idge and Secretary Hoover. In order to meet the sus- picion that this gathering might hav- been only a Dem- ocratic trick, the delegates had themselves polled re- garding their previous political affiliations and in that way proved that they had until now been overwhelm- ingly Republi interpretatio: of this new farm movement vary ac- cording to the politics of the observer.

But the effect of prohibition, as now thrust into this campaign, is rather regional and sectional than national. It is > kind of subtle disinte- pays working in both parties after ion very to predict or measure. While it may not mean anything like a brenk-ve oF realignment of the old par- ties, immediately or r the ion, it does clearly foreshadow an immense amount of voting across party lines in a manner to confour.d the election prophets and cause yeh managers to grow pale with uncer- tainty. The effect may, in a sense, be called a political revolt, But it is likely to be a very quiet one, cai on men not care to say much about it, but who have made up their minds to disregard old party labels and party erles and be, at least for this election, their gwn sovereigns and dictators when It isn’t that Smith’s election would mean a prompt change in the Vol- stead act. The voters will have to elect new congressmen or make the old ones see the light to effect that. But the league feels, perhaps cor- rectly, that a Smith victory would be a great moral victory for the wets and a virtual repudiation of the prohibition principle. Furthermore, though Smith is sworn to enforcement of the law if elected, the drys believe he would appoint wets to important enforce- ment posts, A At the moment interest centers on what the league can do to the Democratic party. Later the ques- tion may be: What will the Demo- crats do to the league? They are charging more and more openly, some of them, that the league is the} by tool of the Republican party—which is not true, except in so far as the league is the tool of anyone who will give it what it wants. If Smith should win, the league might be in for some lean days. The reigning Democrats would not for- t the league's efforts to lick them. ff might continue to influence Con- gress, but its palmy years of pull in the White House and the federal departments would be no more. Even if Smith doesn’t win, a per- manent feud between the league and Democracy might develop which would continue to identify the league with the G. O. P. The league doesn’t represent all the drys. Some of them despise it. The other day D. Leigh Colvin, national chairman of the Prohibition party, called it “merely a group of id superintendents” and accused it of “a number of shady political deals.” The traditions of that party, incidentally, cover a long series of progressive and human- itarian platform proposals in which the league is not interested. There is also a division in the league itself, so that today there are two leagues in separate offices, the McBride league and the Cherrington league— but they’re equally out to get Smith, Opposed to the league is the As-! lad sociation Against the Prohibtion Amendment. It probably wen’t come out for Smith. Most of its directors are Republicans. Some of its Democratic sponsors are likely to make individual statements. Ap- parently wets aren’t as clannish or as well organized as drys. The wets have nothing to compare with the dry churches, The wets think they’re on a ris- ing tide; the drys say they’re on their last legs. Everyone was sur- prised by the narrowness of the dry margin in the recent North Da- kota referendum, Opinion: A ma- jority of Americans may believe in prohibtion, but a majority is not satisfied with the kind of prohibi- tion now in effect. Many drys are dissatisfied; some are disgusted with their leadership. Smith has an opportunity to prom- ise a new deal. He has already denounced the old saloon, But if he hopes to appeal to many of the dissatisfied or disgusted drys he will have to offer them something concrete—something that will be obviously freer from evils than the old system or present con- ditions, Otherwise, as between mere wet and dry voters, he will have only the wets. That may not e enough. He has always been sure of them, BARBS The Irish Free State has signified willingness to adopt Secretary Kel- 1 logg’s pact outlawing war.

Many people are ignorant of the identity of this plant, which is known by various names, such as “poison oak.” “sumac,” and “pois- on ivy.” The leaves are usually a bright green and appear in groups of three. You may distinguish it from all other Cage because the stem of the middle leaf is always longer than the stems of the outer two leaves. These plants secrete a clear, transparet poisonous oil which is insoluble in water, and their leaves and bark are covered with it. If one of these plants is disturbed, this oil is discharged into the air, and a breeze may become impregnated with its poison. The sensitive per- son is sometimes poisoned even by being in the vicinity of a clump of these plants. This poison causes a painful in- flammation of the skin and in severe cases may even be carried internally to all parts of the body, with some- times very dangerous consequences, and has been known to result in death, It is apparent that some people are more subject than others to these poisons, just as some are more easily irritated by the pollen of followers or dust from hay, and con- sequently develop attacks of hay fever. Those who have sens‘ mucous membranes or a skin which cannot resist the oak or ivy poison- ing, are, in every case, subject to a definite acidosis. If this is correct- ed, there will be less susceptibility to either hay fever or vine poison- ing. Many people have such a good blood alkalinity that they can chew and swallow the leaves of poison oak without suffering intestinal ir- ritation ag a result. Such a normal alkalinity should be kept by all people at all times. If this were done there would be little danger of catching an outside infection, whether of a toxic or bacterial nature. Tf, however, you do contract vine Poisoning, the following treatment will be found to be effective. On or before the first appearance of the rash, go immediately to the bath- room and prepare a weak solution of lye water, using one teaspoon- ful of dry lye to a quart of water. Do not apply this solution to the skin, but have it ready by the side of the bathtub. Next, take a warm shower bath, or dip into a tub of water so that the body becomes wet all over, then reach over, and dip a nail brush into the lye solution. Vigorously brush the affected parts and for several inches around where the rash shows for two or three sec- onds, This must be washed off immediately after, or the lye will eat into the skin. Use the warm shower or immerse the body com- pletely in the tub of water. This quick application of lye will —_— | INNEW YORK | —_——— ?

What is the cause and cure of this disease?” Answer: I consider the true cause of erysipelas to be an acidosis produced through the use of wrong food. It is true there is a particu- lar bacterium associated with this disease, but this microorganism can- not live in a body free from acidosis. Please write for further personal advice, enclosing a self-addressed, stamped envelope, Question: W. R. Y. asks: “Are flavoring extracts wholesome?” Answer: True fruit extracts are quite wholesome and may be used freely but they are rather expensive and are not generally used com- mercially, being replaced by chem- ical ® compounds having similar tastes but much more concentrated in flavor and more economical for use. Some of these extracts may be slightly poisonous but the United States government has conducted extensive experiments and prohibits the use of the most injurious ones. Soda fountains and many manufac- tured products using artificial col- orings and flavorings are required to indicate this by some type of sign, Question: Mrs. W. L. writes: “Please advise me if there is any harm in using non-perspirants for checking perspiration under the arms.” Answer: Your system is bound to be harmed by anything which will check elimination of poisons from the body. Stopping the elim- ination through the pores will hurt you in much the same way as if the flow of urine were partially stopped, or in the same way as if you did something to make your bowels more sluggish. It is all tight for you to use some deodor- ant or just plain talcum powder which will keep the sweat from soiling your clothing. to give aid to those handicapped by ignorance, inexperience or poverty. The baby centers, the slum centers, the mental examination centers, the gymnasium centers, the open swim- ming pools, the branch libraries, the free concerts and lectures are all aimed at such a mark, Millions are spent by a dozen-and- one philanthropic agencies to help in the terrific battle for survival that goes constantly on.
