(Official City, State and County Newspaper) GOVERNOR SORLIE A host of friends in every part of North Dakota and the northwest will learn with regret of the illness of Governor A. G. Sorlie. The governor is paying the price for devotion to the biggest and most exacting job in North Dakota. He is confined to his home for a much-needed period of rest. During the four years he has served North Dakota as its chief executive, Governor Sorlie’s first interest has ever been the welfare of this state. He brought to the discharge of his duties breadth, personality, sympathetic consideration for every viewpoint, close study of state problems and tireless energy. He has made it a rule always to be jable to the people. He had no office hours. He had no throne room. His greeting and his reception were uniformly cordial for all comers. He was always available. He worked hard, He was ever a genial, kindly and dignified represen- tative of the state. He was a prince of hosts. The circle of his friends knew no distinctions of political caste or social standing, for he is by nature a true democrat. The governor decided some time ago to retire to private life. But there was no slowing down of the pace for work he set when ke came into office. He has recently given more than ordinarily of his time and effort to the duties of his position, His present indisposition is the result. All his friends, and they are legion, will be deeply concerned until he is quite himself again. There is every evidence they may be reassured. The governor’s condition requires a rest. He is having a rest he should have taken long ago, but under conditions that all his friends will regret. MASTERS OF FREEDOM A weekly magazine the other day was discussing the new talking-movie scheme. In the course of its dis- cussion there was one highly significant remark. “Of course,” the article said, “since it is a mechanica! process, it will be brought to perfection in the near future.” That represents a new viewpoint—a viewpoint that, more and more, is becoming characteristic of this age. “Since it is a mechanical process, it will be brought to perfection in the near future.” Mankind, in other words, has reached the point where it does not believe that anything in the material, physi- cal world is impossible. All of the bonds of time and space that hampered our forefathers are to fall away. The world is to contract to a walnut shell. The poorest shall be lord of the universe. Lightning shall be chained, seas shall be dried up, the desert shall blossom like the rose; music shall be seized from the empty air, man’s vision shall pierce clouds and dissolve moun- tains, silent machines shall do all the drudgery and we will inherit a new freedom, great and everlasting. It must be that we are getting pretty close to the millennium. Possibly. Yet there are one or two other fields in which there is still room for improvement. We have demonstrated that we can make many in- ventions. There is not much left for us to know in the realm of physics. Now it is time for us to start mak- pat ing progress in other spheres; spheres in which me- chanical ingenuity will do us no good. Make practice of studying your daily paper. Read, carefully, all the accounts of humanity's atupidities, villainies, weaknesses, hatreds and prejudices. Digest them, even though they are not pleasant reading. Then you will understand some of the things that are yet to| bee: be done. It is fine to be free from tha old material bonds that fettered all former generations. But it will be better yet to be free from spiritual bondage. Ignorance, su- and hatred are worse masters than the ones our new inventions have avereome. The man whose mind is not free is eternally a slave, even though he gan master the earth and the atr. i F “4 a | ‘i a Hk £ i? z i 3 F : 2 i Rive Elgiczi : r F : I 3 i 3 i } BISMARCK TRIBUNE ing to night are, in their own way, symbols.

Seeing for the first time, she is better fitted to realize that human life is surrounded by glowing mysteries. She may escape our matter-of-factness. Seeing too much and too easily, we have grown purblind. We seldom rec- ognize our own divinity.

That is in the matter of hot weather clothes. Custom demands that a man must keep his coat on, no matter how hot the day o: how clean his shirt. There is hope, however. piness?

The court, we are glad to hear, decided against her, Tuling that a man’s right to escape the heat by sitting around in his shirtsleeves is inalienable. That’s fine.

When you go over the vacation folders trying to pick one out, what are the deciding factors? The American Summer Resort magazine recently de- cided to find out. It sent a questionnaire to hundreds of resort owners and operators, asking them to say what their experience hed shown them to be the most im- portant features of their establishments. The answers are interesting. The item of good meals led all the rest. Next in order came natural surround- ings, followed by cleanliness. Trailing were miscellan- fous amusements, golf courses, fishing and transporta- tion facilities. Last of all came luxurious furnishings. That's interestig, especially the part about meals. A vacation isn’t a vacation if the vacationist doesn’t feel that his stomach is being treated in the style to which it is accustomed. only upon the wonderful vision and imagination of the mind, but upon the health of our physical bodies.

The efficiency we develop and our ability to commune with our fellows depend upon the way we can express ourselves through our physical bod- ies.

Some believe that the break was merely a natural reaction, following a long bull movement in stocks.

Wall Street hoped to the last that the “draft Coolidge” Movement would be successful. e New York, July 27.—Snapshots of “the sidewalks of New York”... the man who fills the subway gum ma- chines goes plodding by, sagging un- der the weight of two heavy satchels +8 jobless G.

Just the job for Senater Heflin—president of fistsss vote, he had about 40 per cent of the popular vote and 91 per cent of the electoral vote. In 1916, his popular vote exceeded that of Hughes plus the Socialist and Prohibition vote. Instances of the proportional var- iance between popular and electoral votes are not confined to third party years. In the Civil War election, Abraham Lincoln was_ re-elected over McClellan by only 55 per cent of the popular vote, but with 90 per cent of the electoral vote. That is, Lincoln’s popular and electoral vote were 2,200,000 and 212, while Me. a he was also a minority pres- Tilden had at least 250,000 more popular votes than Hayes in 1876, even by the Republican count, He lost because what appeared to be his electoral votes were stolen and the final electoral vote majority as a to Hayes was just one lone vote.

Rep. James A. Frear of Hudson, Wis., in an address Saturday charged that the United States bureau of Indian affairs is guilty of criminal maladministration and peeve malfeasance in the supervision of Indians in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Indians on the reservations in this section face star- vation almost every winter. The money that is doled out to them is quickly spent. Unserupulous mer- chants, dealers in second-hand automobiles and boot- leggers attach themselves to the ins until the al ce is all gone.

UESTIONS AND ANSWERS juestion: J. H. writes: “Please explain the proper method of takin; an enema, whether hot or cold, # how much water should be used.” Answer: If a quart of tepid wa- ter is used there is no danger of ur ever producing any intestinal injury through the taking: of ene- mas, but too much watcr may be harmful, and also if it is too hot or too cold. It is best not to use soap, salt, or anything else which may be irritating. juestion: Mrs. J. K. asks: “Isa yam the same as a sweet potato, and if so is it as wholesome? Answer: Most yams sold in the United States are really sweet po- tatoes. The true yam resembles a sweet potato and is on largely in the West Indies and to a small ex- tent in Florida and Louisiara, Speci- mens may weigh from ten pounds upward, and have been known to weigh as much as a hundred pounds. Both yams and sweet potatoes are starchy foods and are best thor- oughly baked in order to bring out the full sweetness. They should be combined with other f the same &s any other starches. Question: Mrs. W. writes: “I ve a place at the top of my stom- ach on the right side that gives me some trouble, something like the colic, every month. Can you tell me what it is and the remedy? I am very stout, weighing about 242 pounds. Can you tell me something to reduce my weight?” Answer: The distress you have in your right side may be due pi tro to stomach a tion, or to colitis, in the hepatic flex- ure of the colon. As you are over- weight, the sensible thing to do is to diet and reduce, and then your symptom willnodoubt disappear while on the diet which is necessary for +e to take to bring about a satis- lactory weight reduction. Space in this column is limited, but I will be glad to send you complete instruc- tions on how to reduce upon receipt of a self-addressed, stamped, largé envelope.
