CHICAGO NEW A Meaningful Drive It is not surprising that the State Health department, beeking a major activity, should have taken up the plan for a drive against diphtheria. This disease has a high morbidity in North Dakota. Annually the average deaths the succeeding four years Sherill procéeded to give Cin- cinnati the best administration it ever had. He cut down city expenses, wiped out corrupt politics and ran the city government in the interest of the voters and not the bossqs. All in all, it is a fine record that he made. He's a man to watch. Anyone who can do what he did is the sort of man who ought not to be allowed to stay in pri- vate life permanently. Sooner or later he ought to be drafted for some other public position. Germany’s Great Prop of Peace Paul von Hindenburg is contributing to Germany an- 6,00 | other of those idolized figures in the gallery of which are Goethe and Bismarck and von Moltke. The president of the reich-republic, in fact, is the grand old man of his .| country today, after five years service in the chief ex- ecutiveship completed just the other day and at the 2.00 | age of 84. In view of his beneficent administration of the. af- fairs of his country at a time when they are the vital concern of the other powers as well, the world could .ap- propriately have joined in doing him honor on the an- niversary which has just passed. But he desired no at- tentions of that kind at home or abroad, and the occasion was let go by very simply and quietly. Von Hindenburg has proved himself a sturdy con- server of peace since he took over the reins of the reich. He administers as he fought and remains the samurai of the new Germany as he was of the old—a man with conscientious regard for his obligations and his oath of authority. He has steered sternly and uncompromisingly through the perils of the anti-Young plan agitation, be- cause that meant peace and stability for his country, and he signed the reparations laws in the face of Na- tionalist. rage and threats which, had they prevailed, would have meant a tremendous setback for Germany among the nations with whom she has after-war rela- from the ailment in this state are 30 to 35. There have been extensive epidemics of late, one last spring in the vicinity of Jamestown requiring a lot of effort to over- come. Dfphtheria, virulent as it is, differs from cancer, an- other scourge, in being preventable as a result of mod- ern pathological research. Physicians hold it virtually 100 per cent curable and also 100 per cent preventable if the means provided by science to combat it are uti- lized. These means are mainly the immunizing serum bacteriologists have been able to devise. So strong is the faith of practitioners in the immunization process that one western health officer has declared that “for every death from diphtheria, someone ought to hang.” The diphtheria prevention commission appointed by the governor and organized last week therefore has an important duty to perform for the state. If lives can be eppraised in dollar-and-cent values—and somebody has calculated that they can and that a life is equivalent to $25,000 to the state—then the work of this body has to deal with a loss to North Dakota of at least $750,000 an- nually. New York state is credited with virtually stamping out the diphtheretic contagion. In that case, North Dakota can achieve as much for the cause of good health. The State Health department is counseling physicians to (mmunize babies at birth, as New York did. The welfare organizations of the state will naturally be behind the commission when it begins its labors next fall. It is unfortunate that the work has had to be post- poned for a more propitious period than the summer, with its vacations and other disturbing elements of a Geasonal character. When the drive does get started, the commission is sure to have the best of cooperation from the State Health department, for it has been one of the dreams of Dr. A. A. Whittemore, state health officer, and Dr. J. D. Jung- man, head of the preventable disease bureau, to rid North Dakota of this child scourge. Heretofore these officials have had to be content to work with publicity alone, in circulars and placards, as preventives, and to depend onthe: excellent. cooperation of the state laboratory in dealing with actual outbreaks of the disease. The West’s Lost Battalion With the passing of Richard W. Clark, the “Deadwood Dick” of the gold mining and stagecoach days of the Black Hills, about the only survivors of this type of ‘western character are the synthetic imitations of Holly- ‘wood. i “Deadwood Dick” himself, however, was a bit syn- thetic. He was of the rugged, colorful type in which the ‘West of the 70's abounded, a man somewhat of the Buf- ffalo Bill role, but not to be compared with Wild Bill ‘Hickok, who was the pistol notch artist of the Hills in these days. Dick was a stagecoach driver, a pony ex- press rider, a miner busy and useful man who fur- nished the material out of which that famous dime novel hero of Ned Buntline was created to thrill the schoolboys of the East. Buntline associated Dick and Calamity Jane in his tales of the gulches where men delved madly for gold, gambled sleeplessly and rioted in pistol play. But he was not as wild and woolly as that and his fame was. plways associated with virtuc. ‘The truth ‘about the men of this type of the West is. that much of the gold associated with their lives was in their hearts. Their roughness and dissipation was of ‘the frontier of peril and of the Indian menace. It was like the false front to the saloons and dance halls and mining stores. No picture or tale of the West ‘was ‘genuine without that glamorous fiction of pistols f@nd bullets and bowie knives. And the picture was just Ss exaggerated as “Ten Nights in a Barroom” was. Buntline, Capt. Frederick Whittaker, Col. Prentiss Ingraham and that other author, Eyster, who wrote for the Beadle libraries, in nickel and dime Aditions, created these literary hyperboles in men and communities which 60 fascinated the school youth with its appetite for frontier gunmen, cowboys, Wells Fargo stage drivers, hhoyden adventuresses like Poker Alice and Calamity Jane. . Just as they were they were interesting and im- pressive, but dressed up by the pens and pencils of these bage fictionists of the wild West they became positively fascinating characters. Now they are about “petered out.” Here and there may ‘be one, as “Baldy” Bement, of Miles. City,.a sur- vivor of the days when bandits like the James brothers ‘and Indians were problems of every trip made by. the men who handled the. ribbons from the buck seat. of a Concord stage. Wild Bill went long ago from a treach- erous shot. Calamity Jane, after a few years of show life-when the West began to standardize to civilization, also dropped out of the ranks. Yellowstone Kelly rests | 4 on the river bluff at Billings, where other characters like these He among Boothill cemetery’s 36 silent ten- ants. Livér Eating Johnson is s ‘mere memory over ih ‘Montana. , Buffalo Bill has come to signify a grave. Pawnee Bill still survives somewhere in the Southwest. But for these bare exceptions the scouts, Indian fight- ers, mibing characters, resort keepers, stagecoach driv- 8, pony express riders and other heroic and picturesque figures who invested the old West with drama of its own have become its lost battalion of frontier fame. A Distinguished Record ‘You might just keep your eye on Mr. Clarence O. Pherill, who has resigned his poaition as city manager of Cincinnati to become vice president of the Kroger ‘Grocery and Baking Co, A former army officer, Mr. Sherill was made city ‘manager in 1926 when Cincinnati voters threw out the Republican ring that had ruled them for so.long. During 4 tions of an obligatory nature. ‘Von Hindenburg, in fact, has been a pleasing surprise. He has ‘dissipated all fear that he would prove reaction- ary and possibly intrigue for the restoration of the monarchy and the Hohenzollerns. He took an oath to support these latter when he went into the army and he kept that oath faithfully and with knightly dignity; but now he is governed by another oath and thaf: is of fealty. to the republic. He is just as meticulously true to that as he was to his military code, in fact he is hold- ing to it as he held to the old Hindenburg line of war days. And as he held the armies of the reich to the trenches by his genius and inflexible will for three weary years, so he now holds Germans in line and true to the republic by his exemplary wisdom, his conservativeness and the old will serve with fidelity. The Washington Star recalls that the late German ambassador to Washington, Baron Ago von Malzan, once said that von Hindenburg had made the republic “geselischaftsfaehig” in Germany—which is Teutonic for “fashionable”—and it adds that “millions of his country- men said to themselves that if the new order of things was good enough for Hindenburg it was good enough for them. They accepted it. They joined with him in sus+ taining it. They became his earnest coadjutors in de- veloping it against a reactionary opposition which once deluded itself into believing that the hero of Tannen- berg would be putty in its intriguing hands.” Paul von Hindenburg, in fact, may be-regarded as a German pattern of a George Washington.. College for:Policemen:- . / (New Orleans -Item-Tribune); 2" A Missour! congressman proposes:a ‘federa] policeman’s college, its graduates to be distributed ‘among the cities. The idea has merits, although police veterans trained only in service may be the first to pooh-pooh it. Police forces in America have two major faults—a low standard of personnel and: of pay. It is idle to debate which of these causes the other. They interact. Because wages are low, it is hard to recruit men of ability as well as in- tegrity to police forces. Such men are a minority. It is hard to persuade cities—it may be impracticable for cities to raise wages to:a scale that would attract.able and {honest men. That: police departments can now show hundreds of intelligent, energetic and uncorrupted men on their rosters is an accident. Some valuable men are there because of a distinct talent for their work, more are there because physique \and circumstances» have helped them to police jobs when other occupations were closed to them. A policeman’s college might quicken professional pride ‘among police; might tend to increase police pay by mak- ing available men of special training. The weakness of the plan is that it would be susceptible to political man- ipulation by congress, Also it would be regarded: by some municipal and state authorities as an example. of the ieee cuales desire to regulate or interfere with the ft of local government, 4 The Cellulose Age (Baltimore Sun) Tall silvery poplar trees may be grown soon on rocky mountain farms in New York state to make raw material for rayon hosiery and newspapers.
