CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON (Official City, State and County Newspaper) ELECTRIC SITUATION IS SAVED Enlargement of the office force here and reduction of rates for electric lighting and power current sounds good as a statement of policy by the Northwestern Public Service company in contradiction of a reported intention to transfer the accounting force of the old North Dakota Power and Light company {rom here to Huron head- quarters. This statement, obtained through the Association of ‘Commerce telegram of protest to Martin In: inating personality of the Northwestern group of electric interests, will tend to quiet the restless feeling the re- puted intentions had aroused in the community. Ac- cording to the reply made by T. T. Parker, president of the Northwestern company, from Huron, the city will not lose the $4000 a month pay roll, which was the main | consideration with the Association of Commerce in send- ing the Insull telegram. If the telegram caused the new electric interests to see the situation as Bismarck saw it, the telegram is Proved a wise step. If it merely served to draw a state- ment of purpose, it again was worth while, in heading off disquieting expectations for reassuring promises. The thanks of the community are due to the association for its prompt action toward saving what apparently was lost, in a portion of the city’s industrial assets. ‘The suggestion made at the time the telegram was sent, that something might wisely be done in laying out & course of action toward future threats of loss of in- dustry or business still holds. In this case the inspira- tion of the moment sufficed to meet the case. Retaining the commercial and industrial assets of the city is just s important as getting new ones. It is more important than trying to bring in something in the way of new plants or business houses. In the latter instance, the effort might fail. ‘The promise to give the consumers of the electric power new and lower rates may now be awaited with Pleased expectancy. The company has indicated that these rates may be on a sliding scale. It is probable that they will be drawn to conform with rates in existence on the company’s lines in South Dakota. It is said the rates there are lower than here. By submitting the new scale to the railroad commissioners next week, an carly application of the cheaper service may be gained. The satisfaction that will be felt in any economy passed on to the consumers also must be more than local, as the un- derstanding is that Dickinson and other communities will be given the benefit of the reductions. LABOR MENACES OWN PARTY A Labor cabinet which couldn't solve a labor problem of the magnitude of the 500,000 cotton mill operatives’ strike in England wouldn't have any leg left to stand on. That is the situation which confronts Ramsey Mac- Donsid’s Labor regime in England. The strike is the ironical turn of circumstances that may wreck the Labor cabinet and drive it out of power. England has been harassed by unemployment ever since the World war closed. It is the greatest problem with which the country has to contend. It is ever a menace to cabinets, to economic well-being and to civil peace. It even is a menace to the imperial supremacy of Great Britain as a first-rate power. ‘Three years ago the Conservative cabinet weathered the great general strike which was in many aspects actual civil war. English conservatism in the psychological sense alone kept the menace from spreading into insur- rection. Now a great strike, but not the general labor conflict which the Conservative party had to face with all its Tt may be unable to accomplish anything, but this SLAUGHTERING THE CHILDREN If @ dozen small children were to be killed at once in some automobile accident, a cry of horror would go up from all parts of the country, and every law-enforcement Bismarck Tribune THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, AUGUST 22, 1929 ji looks safe, and he starts out.

FOOTBALL AND FACULTIES | The accepted theory is that college fosthall is designed | | for the benefit of the student body. Defenders of the \ | game insist that, without it, college life would not attract | | or hold undergraduates and college spirit would vanish. | | Critics of the game as it is played in the stadium and | bowl era find that it serves also to annoy college pro- | fessors, whose principal objection seems to be that their ‘salaries are smaller than the coach's, and that a star! Player is more famous than a star professor. | Much is said on both scores, but to anyone who pat- ronizes college and university football it must be apparent that the game is designed chiefly for colleze graduates. Certainly they predominate in the stands. Of course the Great Saturday afternoon pastime affords the under- graduates an opportunity to take the girl friend to some | Place and offers an excuse for bringing out fur coats. If you would prove to whom football is the most vital, lend your ears to what happens when some college follows @ successful season with a losing season. In a majority of cases the protests and recriminations that follow a poor season come from the alumni. The pride of a |@raduate in his alma mater appears to be reflected almost entirely in the scores and standing of her foot- j ball team. He, individually and collectively, wants a/ | winning eleven, and, denied one, takes for granted that | | the school is going to the dogs. If a serious effort is ever made to determine what is wrong with football and what its relation is to the college, much time will have to be devoted to the attitude of the alumni. It will have to be determined why they give | more generously for college endowment after a successful football season and why they talk of relative values of football teams instead of relative values of faculties, a crushed to earth rises again. Pedestrians are not truth. Editorial Comment A PROBLEM SOLVED (Duluth Herald) For a long time anxious persons have been worrying about what could be done with our ex-presidents. This anxiety is at an end, as not only those who have been presidents but those who tried to be and failed, are in clover, William J. Bryan showed the way. Defeated thrice for the great honor he found that he could get rich in the writing and speaking department. He amassed a fortune in that field. Theodore Roosevelt's pen and voice were in great demand after he left the presidential chair. W. H. Taft is elefated to the supreme bench with its salary and emoluments. Calvin Coolidge takes down his own price for writing easy reminiscences of his boyhood days in the hills of Vermont. Then Alfred E. Smith, the idol of @ big minority, is the hit of the summer season in a popular weekly, telling about the sidewalks of New York. What does he get? Write your own figure. It is not different across the sea. Wilhelm in Holland may fix his own price for an interview. his declining years with big fees from popular publica- tions seeking circulation. Then there is Lioyd George. Out of office, he has written many columns of reflec- tions, more or less hasty, about how to do it. Marshal Foch was not neglected. He was retired on his small French salary, but the world was willing to pay for his thoughts. If there is any German or English general of note who has not given a book to the world, he is unusual. It is well. People believe what suits them. Our former greats of all groups face a greedy market for any sort of lucubration headed with a famous name. ——+__—_ THE DROUTH ABROAD (Time) Shrewd Norfolk farmers in the east of England were reported last week to be bartering pails of milk for pints of water. Half round the world in Santiago de Cuba there were street fights and stabbings when the water- carts passed. Prolonged drouth was parching many lands, but rural England and Cuba seemed to suffer most. Scientists recalled that, although man can go without food for two months and live, without water he shrivels and dies in from six days to ten. So scarce grew water throughout the English midlands that numerous water-hogging textile mills were forced to shut down for one week provisionally. In London, the ministry of health, after advising municipalities to ration their water with “rigid economy,” concluded crypt- ically: “Statistics appear to show that the rainfall in England during the next few years may continue to be below average.” Though their crops were parching, English farmers kept their heads, but small-town Cubans panicked badly. Frantic was the situation provoked at Santiago de Cuba when the chief of the water works, without warning, cut off all water from public buildings, hotels, finally from hhomes. Next day this thrice rash official telegraphed to Havana: “Water works department unable to cope with situa- tion—the 150,000 residents of Santiago de Cuba have be- come unruly.” ~ New crimes invented during the British drouth in- cluded “washing en automobile with drinking water,” for which offense a London truckman was fined one pound. When driving rainstorms finally burst over Southern England and Northern France, the atmosphere was so surcharged with heat that the rain fell warm and muggy. WHEN THERE'S OIL, UNDER THE LAWN (Minneapolis Journal) In the way of lawsuits, at least, there is something new under the sun. The United States Supreme court is now called upon to settle a question that seems to lie out- side the area charted by cour: precedents. ‘The elty of Oxford, Kansas, built over a pool of oil, has adopted a novel means of restricting the number of der- they elect to contribute pro rata to the expense of drilling. , Commercial communism, in a manner of speaking.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Child Has Chronic Cough Question: Mother writes: “I have a little girl eleven who has had a loose cough for about four years. The doc- tors say it is not her lungs.” Answer:. There is such a thing as a “habit” cough, but if your daughter has been troubled for four years there is doubtless some other deep-seated cause which could be discovered upon examination. I would suggest that you take her to one doctor after another if necessary until you find someone who understands diagnosing well enough to find the cause of her trouble. Catarrh Question: H. E. J. asks: “May one who has catarrh eat wholewheat bread and muffins in which there is no sugar?” Answer: Wholewheat bread and muffins are wholesome foods, but all starches should be discontinued by the catarrhal patient until the excess amount of mucus has subsided. After that, these foods may be used in moderation with good results. Cancer Question: G. H. asks: “What is the best method of preventing the re- turn of cancer once removed by oper- ation? Does exposing the parts to the sun help?” Answer: The best method I know of for preventing cancer is to live on a careful diet, exercising vigorously each day, and adopt the right mental attitude. It is a noticeable fact that cancer rarely if ever develops with those who continue to live a vigorous physical culture life. The congesiion of cancer cells to any one part of the body cannot occur if the circulation of blood does not become sluggish. |e are helpful because of the ultra-violet effect on the blood.
