Logan Payne Co. | CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON (Official City, State and County Newspaper) | Mexico's Excuse for Robbery | ‘The new penal code of Mexico recognizes the perfectly obvious fact that a human being may commit @ major) crime and yet not be a real enemy of society. It provides that a person may not be punished for robbery if proof is possible that the crime was committed when the violator was hungry and that he had never before committed a robbery. One never hears of such nice distinctions in this coun- try except in melodrama, or when a jurist with original ideas like Ben Lindsay essays the role of Solomon in conducting a trial wherein the circumstances are such as to arouse sympathy. In the case of Mexico the new principle of law rather fits in with our ideas of what is comic. Especially if one knows and understands Mexicans, if such feats of mind be possible. Mexicans have loose ideas as to the in- violability of property rights. So here is a law seemingly more likely to promote thievery than to give the benefit of sympathy where sympathy is properly due. Think how such a law would promote crime in this country, especially in the big cities. ‘There arc too many hungry people in the slums of those towns. Yet, when you stop to think about it, it isn’t quite ‘as laughable as it sounds. It may be clumsy and impractical; yet, for all that, it; Tepresents a genuine attempt to put a little common! sense and humanity into the criminal code—and ‘the | criminal code north of the Rio Grande isn’t exactly bogged down with either of those qualities. Many a robbery is committed by an ordinarily law-| abiding and upright man who is driven by poverty and misery to a point where it seems better to commit a rob- bery than to starve to death and sec his family starve to death. In such a case—where it is quite clear that the man is not a criminal by nature—isn't it better to turn him loose and give him another chance than to do as we usually do in the United States—stick him in prison and turn him into a confirmed criminal? Muxico’s new law undoubtedly will help some real | seamps to escape punishment for their misdeeds. But | will that be’ any worse than some of the savage in- justices that our own laws occasionally causc? Our whole tendency lately has been to make our criminal code stricter. As a result we see men getting ten-year terms for stealing a couple of dollars. We ce; a hopeless fury settling down on our convict class, re- | sulting in outbreaks like those at Dannemora, Auburn and Canon City. ‘This Mexican, law is probably quite as impractical 9s our lofty critics have been saying. But it contains an idea that we might very well think about copying. Advertising Here is a word for the folks who think that the ad- vertisements in the newspapers are a nuisance: Adver- tising makes people want to live in better homes, wear better clothes and eat. more wholesome food. Newspapers carry the bulk of the advertising of this | country. Last year $800,000,000 was invested in news- | paper advertising. That is one of the proofs that peo- ple appreciate advertisements in the newspapers. Ad- vertisements are appreciated both by those who pay for them and by those who read them. ‘The whole business runs in an interesting circle. The | Newspaper that has the largest home circulation gets the most advertising. But if the people who buy and! read newspapers objected to the advertisements, the’ circulation of the newspapers would decrease. The fact that year by year advertising increases in the most ap- | | | | and integrity, can hardly protest if a skeptical public, jearnest attention of American exporters. it was, was monumental, to say the least. A man 50; obtuse, so blind to all the ordinary dictates of reason | assumes that there was an extremely improper motive | back of it all. ——_——_ i Ontario Is Satisfied i Ontario, quite evidently, is pretty well satisfied with the way its liquor law ts working. | Tt ts hard to see how the results of the recent election | can be interpreted in any way except as an indorse- ment of the existing policy. The party that advocated a return to strict prohibition was snowed under—almost put cut of existence, as far as representation in par- liament is concerned. Another party, which pledged ilself to hold a provincial referendum on the maticr, also took a bad beating. The Conservatives, upholding ; the present law, won the greatest victory in their history It is hard for citizens of the United States to tell just how the Ontario law ts working. Regorts that come back are apt to be colored by the bias of the investigator. | But it seems rather evident that Ontario is pretty well ! satisfied. | Trans-Pacific Markets i The great market that les on the other side of the | Pacific ocean is proving repeatedly that it is worth the; The latest people to find it out are the citizens of Canada. | During the first half of the present year, Canada’s exports to Japan reached the impressive total of $22,300,- 000—nearly $5,000,000 above the figures for the first half of the preceding year. The Canadian wheat growers | alone found Japan able to buy more than $13,000,000 worth of their crop. The United States and Canada will some day draw a great part of their prosperity from the lands beyond the Pacific. Already the territory is proving abundantly worth cultivating. Even democracy cannot cure malcontents of the habit. of laying all the blame on “they.” There are stars so distant we see thelr light 36,000 y later, and perhaps there are friends that way. Editorial Comment \i- Williston Builds (Minot Daily News) Williston is deserving of praise for the civic initiative | exemplified this year in the program of more than | $2,000.000 of building which will continue with great im- | petus in 1930. The Williston Herald, in its last issue, pays tribute to the city's progress by issuance of a section devoted to telling of this year's building program and plans for 1930. ! I. is a well assembled, interesting edition that will do much to advertise the well-known city. Already, more than a half million dollars of improve- ments are projected at Wuliston for the coming year, these including $100,000 of new paving; a new $210,000 high school building; and a new $300,000 power plant for the Montana-Dakota Power company. Williston’s growth is certain to be permanent and sub- stantial. Its geographical location has a lot to do with this. It has an opportunity to serve a large and rich territory. Important also in the development of the city is th: | assured permanent supply of water. Many other cities | in the state now are confronted with the serious prob- | lem of water supply. The Missouri river, while it some- | times wanders, is always certain to be easily accessible to Williston, and the question of a water supply will never be a serious one to that city. The Williston Herald, in its edition, has this to say | concerning the city’s progress: “The season of 1929 has furnished an entirely new in- terpretation of the slogan, ‘Williston Will.’ It was coined to illustrate the united efforts of its citizens to secure those rights and advantages which Williston was entitled to as one of the key cities of North Dakota. Their tcam- work bore fruit én a material way beyond thelr expecta | jons. “This unity of effort has borne fruit in ® more significant way by producing a better community spirit and a much more efficient commercial organization, with | 8 full time secretary to assist in handling the increasing | problems of this growing city. | “Not only has the spirit of cooperation received a great impetus within the city, but the spirit has extended into | the rural districts, and the result has been a much better understanding between city folks and country dwellers. It can therefore be said that the splendid slogan, “Wil- | liston Will’ has received an added moral significance. | and those who make use of it in the future should remember that it includes ‘good will toward all.’ “Williston would, Williston could. Williston did.” The Foshav Catastrophe (Valley City Times-Record) While the papers of the nation bave been carrying daily stories of millions upon millions being wiped out in Wall Street, many of us here in the Northwest read | the news and let it go as too far from home. But when the great Foshay company of Minneapolis went into receivership and with it about twenty millions of north- | ‘west money, we commenced to sit up and take notice. The Foshay interests were involved in banks, mercan- tile establishments and general bonding business, backing investments by taking their stock and reselling to the small investor. Not long ago the great Foshay Tower in Minneapolis was completed and pronounced one of the masterpiece works of architecture in the country. Then came the news of the crash which was felt in this state in many homes. Senator Gerald P.

Advertising has taught thrift, educated the public mm the value of literature and art, and removed drudgery from housework. Advertising is an essential in this modern age. But there are one or two forms of it that give us a severe | pain in the neck. - Chief among these is the airplane-loudspeaker. A big tri-motored plane spent the day recently circl- | ing over Philadelphia, while a raucous voice came down from the clouds extolling the virtues of some new motor il. The voice could not be escaped. It was all-powerful. ‘The people below had to listen to it whether they liked to or not. If that particular form of advertising spreads, it will | ‘be necessary to pass new laws in self-defense. To inflict @ loud, unescapable voice on a whole city is indefensible.

Doing business on a shoc- | string has been the cause of countless business losses and that is what many bonding companies today are doing and the Foshay wreck is proof of the statement. Sound business investments there are but they offer small returns to the gambler citizen who reads of big profits in some new offer of the market. Conservative, | yet wealthy investors, scan the market daily before select- | ing an investment and if the Foshay and other offerings of its kind were relible, those investors would have strictly alone and confine themselves to legitimate bust- | ness offerings. For the small investor there is no better advice than to follow conservative stock, steady and low interest bearing, if they want to come out of the market with their original investment safe and a few dollars added to the same as reward for their Who Was Getting It? Federal authorities investigating the gigantic liquor ting which was recently broken up by a raid on its fortified headquarters in New Jersey say that the organ- isation’s account books show that $30,000 a week was paid to bribe law-enforcement officials. That sum is so large that it almost passes belief.

The degree of pain felt varies with the amount of inflammation, The nerve trunk may be extremely tender so that the pa- tient cannot bear pressure on it, Some patients describe the pain as boring, darting, burning and shoot- ing. Since many nerves contain mixed fibres, of which the motor fibres move the muscles, the sensory fibres bring sensation, while others control nutrition and blood supply, one can readily see that when a nerve is affected any one or all of these functions may be described. For in- stance, some of the motor symptoms are loss of muscular power, and if the legs are involved the patient may find it difficult to walk and the knee jerk reflex disappears, and the usual fara- dic or electrical reflex of the mescle is altered. The sensory symptoms ai numbness and tingling and with a sense of ants crawling over the skin, which may be followed with severe pain to last through the whole course of the disease. The pain is continuous and is made more severe upon the slightest move- ment. The skin may become extreme- ly sensitive to the touch and become so tender that even the weight of blankets may seem too heavy. When nutritional nerves are involved the skin may wrinkle, become thin, and be very shiny. Swelling under the skin may also ccur. It should be remembered that the usual cause of neuritis is a toxic or poisonous substance which has been circulating in the blood but becomes accumulated around the nerve, irri- tating it and causing it to become in- flamed. The treatment should aim at removing this toxic cause and treatment should be taken as easily as possible to prevent nerve degener- ation from prolonged inflammation. The use of alcohol to excess, or the absorption of arsenic or lead, makes a decided predisposition to neuritis. Trembling is characteristic of alco- holic, arsenical and lead potsoning in cases of neuritis accompanied by the tingling and numbness. It sometimes happens that the jcause of neuritis will be found to be purely mechanical misplacement of the bones, usually in the spine, In naturopath. this possession bad Helen not | sprung forward and seized it.
