(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Kresge Bldg. LABOR HAS PROSPERED Herbert Hoover, in his speech at Newark, N. J., fully vindicated the popular belief that for its past seven years of national prosperity and progress the United States is indebted in large part to the able Republican administrations and the popular opinion that if this prosperity and progress are to continue the Republican party should remain in power for four more years. Millions of thoughtful voters will ponder long on these words of the Republican nominee: “At such a time as this a change in national policies involves not—as some may lightly think—only a choice between roads by either of which we may go forward, ] but a question also as to whether we may not be taking ; the wrong road and moving backward. The measure of our national prosperity, of our stability, of our hope of further progress at this time, is the measure of what ‘we may risk through a change in present policies. More than once in our national history a change in policies in a time of advancement has been quickly followed by a turn toward disaster.” Than Mr. Hoover there is no American who better knows the “modern relationships of government and in- dustry” which are “a tangled mass of economic and social problems” and can “make for the happiness of every home in our country.” When he said “the Republican party has performed unparalleled service to the employees in our commerce and industry throughout its history,” it was no empty phrase of a stump speaker. It was the logical conclu- sion arrived at by a former secretary of commerce af- ter an exhaustive analysis of facts. Not the least of that service was the reduction of the unemployed from j six million in 1921 to less than two million in 1928. And for nearly six years of that period there actually existed a labor shortage. Not all the Democratic candidates, managers and i campaign speakers can argue the people out of the E settled opinion that the Republican party in the seven years since 1921 has “produced a fundamental program which made this restored employment secure on foundations of prosperity” and that “this recovery and stability are no accident,” but the fruits of “sound governmental policies and wise leadership.” PLOWMAN OF THE FUTURE Should Gray's immortal “Elegy” be revised in 1936 it would probably read “The plowman, no longer, home- ward plods his weary way.” For it is predicted that within another decade the bucolic child of the poet’s brain will turn on the juice in the morning and at eve- ning find his farm acres all tilled by his automatically controlled electric plow. "This, electrical engineers say, will be one of the many blessings to be brought to the farm by the uni- versal adoption of electricity by the agriculturist. And these same engineers go further to say that such uni- versal adoption is not far distant. There is nothing fanciful in predictions and promises for rural electrification. They are not any more revo- lutionary nor impractical than the electrification of the i home. But just as there were many who a few years ago scoffed at the thought of stoves, toasters, perco- Jators, vacuum cleaners, washing machines and irons ‘gil operated by electricity just as economically and with | as little dirt and trouble as electric lights, there will | be those who will now ridicule the thought of electric Plows and other adaptations of electric Power on the . farm. ; But the fact is that the electrification of the Ameri- | can farm has already progressed to an advanced stage. | Hundreds of thousands of farms, large and small, in ee} the United States already have electric power either | | from commercial lines or private power plants and are employing it in pumping their water, milking their the farm home just as the city home is electrified, and for many ether purposes. When his fielde ave plored, his seed is planted, his Gfops are cultivated and hacvested by electricity the farmer will have more time for making the raising of food a science and for putting the business of farming @ a business basis.

If the fed pug can drop down a few notches in the financial ile it will be better for all of us.

Horse-drawn Weekly by mail, outside of North Dakota, it0 trucks and farm wagons and spring wagons there are ber year . ree in plenty, but the vehicle which was to other vehicles as a yacht is to a tramp steamer is no longer part of the panaroma of streets or roads. Swiftly, in a sense while people were just looking the other way, all these equipages passed from view. There are historic vehicles in the repository of the Studebaker corporation at South Bend—the landau that belonged to Grant, the carriage in which Lincoln used to ride, the state carriage built for Lafayette—but doesn’t this corporation make something now that runs without horses? For religious reasons Mennonite farmers in Ohio and Kansas stick to the buggy. When the roads of moun- tain Kentucky are bettered, maybe it will displace the where its wheels are on scrap-heaps, and the mice build nests in its leather seat in cobwebby carriage houses, and hay is piled over its skeleton in barn mows. Too bad! Not so long ago it was the vehicle of pride, the chariot of adventure, the rumbling caravansary of sentiment, the traveling ark of the covenant in which tender vows things move fast. OUR ENLIGHTENED ELECTORATE The American electorate is, as you all know, highly enlightened and intelligent, and can be trusted to decide at the polls any weighty question. To be sure. Yet a Detroit attorney, last spring, bet a friead that any man running for Congress under the name of Jefferson in the 13th district could draw at least 10,000 votes, even though he made no effort to in- troduce himself to the voters. After the recent primary this attorney collected. He had entered the fictitious name of John G. Jefferson in the congressional primary, making no campaign whatever and exciting not one line of comment. He polled 10,729 votes. Thus, occasionally, does the enlightened American electorate work. $5 FINE FOR A $4 CAR It takes a wise man to be a judge these days. The other day a man was brought into court in New York for violating a traffic law. The judge imposed a fine of $5, at which the motorist remarked that he would prefer, instead of paying it, to surrender his car. Amazed, the judge asked him why; the man replied that he had only paid $4 for the auto, a wheezy old thing made eight years ago. Justice is justice, and the law must be upheld; but paying a $5 fine on a $4 car is too much. Even the judge admitted it. So, after due thought, he suspended the fine and told the motorist to depart in peace—if he could make his auto go. Editorial Comment | MOVING AGAINST THE INSANITY DEFENSE (Minneapolis Journal) High regard for the service of the Baumes Crime Commission in New York is widespread, because of that body’s long advance toward solution of the problem pre- sented by habitual criminality. So successful has been the Commission's work that other States, including Minnesota, have remodeled their criminal codes upon the lines of the New York statutes. And now the Baumes Commission is offering a new model in court procedure, in a recommendation of reform in meeting the insanity defense. The Commission, being human, is quite of a mind with the common run of observers, the Country over, in con- demning the abuses of “insanity expert” testimony. Of the practices that have grown up, the Commission reports as follows: The seemingly inexhaustible supply of ready- at-hand opinion to meet the exigencies of either side and the debonair evolution of newly invented mental processes, and the desired deductions there- from, have resulted in a play of wits, a contest of expertness as in a game, and in many cases a bur- lesque of nonsensical syllogism which has made the courtroom somewhat less dignified than a comedy theater. This is not the outburst of laymen, but of a group of men including lawyers of high repute and thorough understanding. And it is their suggestion that defend- ant and prosecution each select one or two recognized psychiatrists; that the court also select one, and that the men so chosen shall constitute an insanity commis- sion “no member of which shall be paid more than the others.” The psychiatrists would conduct their clinic in rivate and report findings to the court. If the report ig unanimous, it is to be accepted as conclusive evidence; if not, as prima facie evidence, subject to rebuttal. Dissenting opinion is to be reported cnty as dissezuug, and the dissenter is not to be called as a witness. The recommendation is similar to proposals that have been offered in The Journal and elsewhere—that the court take command of the situation. If the New York Legislature adopts these recommendations, the eyes of the rest of the country will again be centered on procetase of criminal trials in that State, as they have een upon the Baumes laws that have preceded such a change, and for the better. : ONE SHIPLOAD , (Duluth Herald) An old-timer in the office remembers, down in the old Herald building on Superior street, a man coming in all out of breath to announce t! the steamer Selwyn Eddy had broken all cargo records by going out with a hundred and twenty thousand bushels of wheat. Last night the steamer Lemoyne went out of this ir carrying 360,188 bushels of barley and 235,333 bushels of wheat, a total of 595,521 bushels of gra: ; That leaves the Selwyn Eddy quite out of the pic- ure. When you analyze it, that is a big cargo, It represents the contents of four hundred and twen- ty-five railroad cars, or eight and a half trains of fifty cars each. At fifteen bushels to the acre, which is a pretty good yield as farming goes, thet cargo represents the yield of forty thousand acres, or two hundred and fifty farms of a hundred and sixty acres. This grain was brought here by rail and goes hence by water. It is interesting to contr: the carrying charr ; by land and water, illustrating what water trans tion means to the farm and the public, and esrecially what it will mean when export wheat can be put into a shin at Duluth and carried to Liverpool by water without transshipment. If this grain came, day, from Minot, North Dakota, seventy-seven thousand But to it, more falo the The boat carries it twice an a sixth of the cost. ~ GIVE VENT TO THE BAREST AND WE ARE ALL EARS!

Boomboom McWhorter’s reelection} to the Senate is in some doubt, ac- cording to confidential advices from the senator's home state. | If there’s anything that Senator | McWhorter likes in an election, it’s opposition. And now there’s another gent after his job. This is not the same gent who gave him such a close race in 1922. It will be recalled the farmers in the senator’s state were all very sore on him in that year and there was every indication that they were going to retire McWhorter; to his kraut-packing business. i ‘The senator's enemies say luck saved him, but the senator insists it was his own stroke of genius. The night before election he put all the! ing spiders, whereupon it rained so hard that all farmers trying to get to the polls were bogged in the mud. Some say it would have rained any- vay, but the senator points out that everybody knows it will rain if you kill a spider. is This year the senator’s opponent arose to confront him just when he thought he had everything all fixed up. In fact, the serator was telling his friends in Washington that all the lesser statesmen back home were willing to take minor jobs and that this would allow him to go stumping the country for the national ticket with all expenses paid when the bad news sent him rushing home. The cause of the slip-up is some- thing of a mystery. When Senator MeWhorter went to the national campaign headquarters to tell the national: chairman that he was all ready to start out, the national chairman suggested that he had bet- ter be watching his own fences be- cause it would be a terrific loss to the party if McWhorter were to fail of re-election. When McWhorter e: plained his arrangements the chair- man said you never could tell and that lots of times opponents sud- denly sprang up unexpectedly. But the senator insisted and haunted headquarters for several days, hinting slyly now and then that he was already on the job and MeWhorter precinct workers to kill- | de “WHIsPER’- | Human Nature {s a Funny Thing | JORTHWHILE THINGS THAT WE SHOULD KNO that of course remuneration was no object, but—- Then all of a sudden came the news that someone was out against McWhorter and all previous plans were off. Some of McWhorter’s friends are indignant, claiming that the national committee actually in- cited the trouble at home, but the; senator himself pooh-poohs the idea. He blames the bolsheviki. oe 8 Anyway, the senator is back on the firing line, making two or three speeches a a: His evening speech is a powerful tribute to the Star- Spangled Banner. The senator be- lieves that Old Glory is a grand old flag and demands that the members of his audience appreciate its sig- nificance. The senator’s morning Is with the sanctity of the home and the fact that the youth of to- day is the America of tomorrow. For ‘holidays and other special oc- casions, like Saturday nights, the senator saves his speech about the red, red radicals, This is the- same speech which did such splendid serv- ice in 1922, 1924 and 1926. cs 6 8 Of course, the senator has had some slight trouble with hecklers, paid by his opponents to yell out and charge Senator McWhorter with avoiding important issues and ask about his record. Usually, the sen- ator merely raises his voice and drowns the kecklers out, but soime- times one of them gets a question through the big wind. Then the ator answers manfully. When they ask him about farm re- lief he says he is for it. And when they ask him about pro- hibition he tells them the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. There are those in the McWhor- ter camp who shake their heads and express the fear that the senator's campaign method may have outlived But the senator re- its usefulness. plies that it always has won for him and that it will win for him again.

Hudson River. speech | f INNEW YORK | _IN NEW YORK | e New York, Sept. 21.—Bits of Gotham gossip-Jack Warner, one of the now very-important Warner Brothers, has as his valet the form- er prize-fighting Turk, Abdul Mali- jan. These Warner boys, as may have been noticed, have been doing very well lately, what with their stock |leaping ten points at a time, their jonslaught in the field of talkies, jtheir acquisition of the Stanley theater circuit and their reported taking over of Keith-Albee circuit. Yet, I can recall a certain cold win- iter day, not more than two seasons back, when- the wisenheimers of Broadway were giving the Warners a very brief lease on life. And they did seem to be headed for the rocks. It was Sam Warner, I am told, who visioned the future of the “talk- ies” and staked the family shirt on its progress. He died about a year ago. se Now that they’re large in the amusement limelight, maybe you'd like to hear about the Warner Brothers. ‘There were Al,:Sami, Jack and Harry. And they all came from Poland, brought as babies by their parents. They landed in Baltimore and settled in Youngstown, O. There two of them opened a bicycle repair shop, in the pre-garage days. Sam had a nose for the theater. He went to Sandusky and got himself a job |in a show-shop. His pioneering eventually steered all the brothers in the show direction. Today Harry, 48 is the president; Albert is the business man and Jack, when not in New York, superintends the Hollywood plant. oe 8 It was, if I remember, just about a year ago that I was doing an in- terview with Harry Warner. And he said something like this: _ “Put this down and stick it in your hat... a year from now the wise birds of this business won't be able to recognize their own indus- try. It will have been turned up- side down and inside out.” One hears such comments daily about Broadway. Had this scrivener heeded, he might riow be driving of jotting down how it happened.

The other day, talking things over in his niche in the Ritz Towers—that giraffe-like building “just off the avenue”—Jolson insisted that they. were “paper profits” to date. An unusual and hichly interesting personality is this “biggest box of- fice attraction.” His face is tanned to a plum-colored hue. He wears a suit to match the peculiar shade and sits in a chair that seems to have been matched from the same cloth. He’s moody and ingenuous. suggesting often the melancholy of one of his mammy songs. On this particular day, a theatrical weekly had reported him engaged to marry little Ruby Keeler, the “tap dancer.” “And that’s the way it goes,” he was saying. “I’m going to get out of this town for a while—going to London and get away over in Eu- rope. drifting. You seem to be sitting on top of the world. But are you? Take me . . . I don’t know for sure whether or not I’ve got a real friend. I know I’ve got plenty of yes men. But are they friends? I like to go to theaters and to play around. And yet, if I’m seen with same girl more than twice, the tabloids come along and say I’m going to marry. And that’s the way it oes.” \ His eyes were sad and there was a wistful note in his voice... He wasn’t trying to be theatrical or sentimental. ... He was a human being, caught in a net of what they call success. Lots of them get that way in Manhattan, if they’re sensi- tive. ls GILBERT SWAN.

F. writes: “My doctor says my trouble is due to hypererythrocythemia, but he also tells me there is nothing to be done to cure it as the cause is not known. T hope you can offer me some sug- gestions and encouragement about @ cure.” ‘ Answer: The long-sounding name given your trouble is an attempt to describe a condition which actually exists in certain patients where there is an increase in the number of red blood cells over the normal. My researches have shown that such an extra amount of red cells is pro- duced through a definite irritation of the nervous system, including the brain and spinal cord. Such irrita- tion is apparently caused by some simple toxemia, as it can be very fly cured. Out of many cases treated I have never seen one that did not respond very quickly to a fast of a few days. Have your blood count taken at some aT coat lab- oratory, then stop alf food for at last five days, except fruit juice and water, and then have another blood count made. You will find the red cells’ reduced to normal or very closely to it. If not quite normal after five days’ fast, continue the fast for a few days more. A cor- rect diet afterwards will prevent any recurrence of the toxemia which is apparently responsible. Question: Mrs. R. H. asks: “Would eating buckwheat cakes be injurious to a woman of sixty-five who has eczema, acid stomach and constipation?” Answer: If you will watch my health menus published in your pa- per each week you will see that 1 never advise buckwheat cakes, and certainly in your case such food should not be used.
