Logan Payne Co. CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Known Gangsters | Most cities in America have sufficient trouble keeping i their own criminal populations in hand without taking pot shots at the obviously unfealthy situation which exists in Chicago. f Cities, like persons, might profitably spend their time | sweeping their own dooryards before recommending the vacuum cleaner to their neighbors. Right here.in North | Dakota we have one or more gangs of bank robbers which might be better in the penitentiary than loose upon the highways. ‘ But be that as it may, few cities in the country have so many “known gangsters” as Chicago, and that fact speaks for itsclf, The newspapers label them as such and tell the nature of the particular “racket” in which they are engaged. The great press associations carry stories referring to this one or that one in a most un- complimentary manner. ‘The inference is that they must be gangsters, or at Jeast men of evil repute, because in Illinois, as elsewhere, the law protects a man in his good name. ‘The epitome of this situation is seen in the disclosures made public from the records of Jack Zuta, former “Bugs” Moran henchman, who has taken the one-way trail of gangdom. Zuta was a “known gangster” and was often referred to as such before his death. His strong box disclosed that he had paid money to judges, police captains, at- torneys, closely connected with prosecutors, newspaper- men and others. Many of the men so named have rushed to the fore with glib explanations of their dealings with the slain man. Whether or not the men thus indi- rectly accused are honest remains a question. That they are versatile is obvious. Zuta is labeled as a Bugs Moran aide, but Bugs Moran still is at large and if he is a “known gangster” the law either doesn’t know it or is unable to do anything about it. Moran's arch enemy is the infamous Al Capone. And Capone is a name which has received more front-page notoriety in the last year than any other person with the exception of the President. Any school chitd could tell you who Al Capone is. ‘True enough, he served a term in prison, but that was in Pennsylvania, not in Chicago where he is best known and most powerful. Into news dispatches creep the names of “Terry Drug- gan, south-side beer runner,” and a score of others. So far as the record shows, Druggan has never been convicted of the activity which everyone seems to know about. There are other instances which will occur to readers who may take no particular interest in crime news but who get an inkling of the doings of the under- world along with other items in the daily press. The question most citizens who still believe in law and order will ask, is how can these men be “known gangsters,” beer-runners, etc., and still remain at large? Probably the answer is an indifferent attitude on the part of the public. \ Each city has its own problems but it seems doubtful that a “known gangster” would be permitted to walk the streets of Bismarck very long and to ply his trade here. Citizens of the city would demand that something be done and something would be done. It seems axiomatic that the nursing bottle of the “known gangster” is an indifferent public opinion. Fifty-Nine Plus Five James W. Gerard has added five more names to his list of “dictators.” There is no occasion to worry, how- ever. If the fate of American citizens is in the hands of some 64 men rather than one, such as the blustering Mussolini, their future is in no immediate danger. Mr. Gerard is not exactly sure of his 59 plus five. Probably next week, after a good night at the palatial home of Cornelius Vanderbilt, he may pick a few more names from the social register to add to his list of “those who rule”. In years past, it was a favorite stunt of the late Robert M. La Follette to pick the masters of “predatory wealth” who preyed upon the people, who swayed govern-- ments and who rocked cabinets nonchalantly as a matter of course. Just when the people were beginning to think the in- Surgents in the United States senate plus the Democratic minority were running the nation and blocking the deep- laid plans of the great captains of industry, Mr. Gerard relieves our minds and tells'us the names of those who hold the destinies of this nation in the hollow of their hands. Mr. Gerard's list also lets out the Federal Reserve sys- tem and the Farm Board. A Miracle on the Sea It is customary to say that modern inventions have robbed the sea of its romance. The steamship has re- placed the windjammer, and seagoing lore and customs dating back to the early Phoenicians have gone by the board. The age of-steam, on the deep, is not considered an age of giamour. a ‘Still, there are times when this prosaic period can do rather well by us, if only weylook at it rightly. It has a new romance to replace the old, a new aura of mystery and a new way of facing death and danger. \ \ A few days ago the steamer Tahiti got into difficulty several hundred miles off the Cook islands, far down in the southwestern part of the Pacific—as lonely a corner of the seven seas could be found. Passengers and crew, she carried 317 people. All of them took to the heats. Now that sort of thing—navigation being the uncertain affair that it is—has happened times without number, on the Pacific and other oceans. Lifeboats filled with Passengers and sailors have floated idly on the sea, watch- ing a crippled ship prepare for its last, slow settling into the waves, and then have struck out for land, some- times to make it and sometimes to disappear forever. But this time it was different. Outwardly it was the same. The lifeboats stuck by the stricken liner, The night, presumably, was like the | Soviet. systent ought to be confined to Russia. innumerable cther nights that have seen ships go down at sea—still, empty, sparigled with stars. The boats were hundreds of miles from land. Around them was a vast loneliness, silent and desolate. But the sir was full of invisible appeals. The Tahiti carried a wireless. “And while the lifeboats drifted, and their occupants scanned the horizon, other ships, far beyond the line where sky and water met, heard those appeals and changed their courses. So it was that these 317 refugees from the danger of the sea did not have to attempt the long, almost hope- less pull for distant land. Help came to them, quickly | and efficiently. An American ship and a Norwegian ship drew alongside and took everyone aboard. When the Tahiti finally went under the water all of her people were safe on other vessels. That, in its own way, is quite as thrilling and’ glamorous as anything that the old days of wooden ships and square sails can offer. To fight wind, wave and thirst in an open boat over hundreds of miles of hostile sea is ad- venture no doubt; but isn’t it also adventure to send a call for help through the empty air, and to hang 317 lives on the sputter of an electric spark in the cabin of a sink- ing ship? The wireless, any way you look at it. is a miracle. An age that can snatch hundreds of people from death in mid-ocean by means of a miracle is an age in which romance js far from being dead. Dodging the Issue The suggestion of the Very Rev. William Ralph Inge, England's famous “gloomy dean,” that condemned crim- inals be allowed to commit suicide instead of being forced to wait for the state to execute them with the rope or the electric chair is an interesting example of the way a sensitive mind can dodge behind a makeshift barrier instead of facing an issue squarely. Dean Inge, undoubtedly, was moved to make his sug- Gestion because his soul found something unspeakably repugnant in the thought of condemned men waiting, day after day and week after week, in their cells for a foreordained violent death. But it is hard to see just how this proposal would mitigate the horrors of capital punishment very greatly. Capital punishment is bound to be a harsh, repellent measure under any circumstances, and trying to find ways of softéning it is futile. Anyone who finds “death row” too dreadful to think about is at liberty to work for the abolition of capital punishment altogether; but as long as the death penalty remains, there isn't much use in trying to take the sting out of it. Justice to the Indian (Hebron Herald) The situation of the Indian in the United States has long been one of the curiosities of our system, in the eyes of foreigners. They cannot understand, in the first place, how we ever took this vast continent away from its original inhabitants; least of all can they un- derstand how, having once conquered the Indians, we have kept them as wards of the nation instead of com- belling them to take their chances with white folks. The answer, of course, as every American knows, is that the Indians were never fit to control or develop the resources of the country, and the natural law of the sur- vival of the fittest operated to give the white man con- trol. From the beginning, American settlers tried to be- friend the Indians, and in the main our relations with them have been peaceable. We have felt rather sorry for them, in these recent years, and few have bedrudged the comparatively small cost of maintaining them on reservations and giving them as much education as’ they were willing or able to assimilate. Now Mr. Charles J. Rhoads, United States commis- sioner of Indian affairs, thinks the time has come to get the Indians off the reservations and into the ranks of industry and agriculture as independent citizens. We think nobody will object very much to that except the Indians themselves. Why should they enter into the flerce competition of civilization, struggle for a living, when Uncle Sam can support them? The older ones on the reservations will not relish being thrust out into the cold, cold world. They have been pauperized so long that they probably could not make @ living independently. But if Mr. Rhoads’ plan is car- ried out for improved Indian schools, which will teach the young ones the useful arts, especially encouraging the development of their native handicrafts, in so far as they have any, and which will hold up before each Indian child the understanding that eventually he or she will have to take the same chances that white folks take, it may be that in another generation the Indian problem will have been solved because it will have disappeared. After all, it hardly seems fair to have enfranchised the negro without conferring the same more or less doubt- ful benefit upon the Indian. . Halt Fake Charity Beggars (Hettinger County Herald) It was perhaps during the World war that the. world discovered how truly liberal and great hearted the peo- ple of North Dakota really are—and many in the world have since taken advantage of this knowledge. Hardly a week passes that there is not someone knocking at our doors begging in a highly trained man- ner for a most worthy charitable organization or object. Each beggar these days has an ingratiating smile, a cap, a tambourine, credentials and hard luck tales suf- ficient to make a hard hearted business man weep—and donate. So skillfully do these professionals work their sales psychology that we find ourselves feeling rich and with a desire to help all the unfortunate ones in the world. Often we forget that we afe broke ourselves and we shell out dimes that should be placed in the baby's bank, but do go toward paying gasoline and hotel bills, for ‘trained beggars who prefer’ traveling and collecting on a big commission to staying at home and working for themselves, sweet charity and the Lord. We must learn to restrain ourselves a bit. A long winter is coming to North Dakota. Our own babies must eat, and most of us would not make enough to per- mit our staying at the best hotels, if we started out begging for them. As a matter of fact most of us are regular suckers, recognized as such by most of the boys who put on bapd caps and ingratiating smiles and pick us for spendihg money. There are plenty of worthy charities right at home. Real Salvation Army workers have regular credentials. It is known that the American Red Cross operates with a very low overhead; that all but a small percentage of the money you donate actually goes for the relief of suffering humanity. Pick out a few more worthy charities if you can afford it and your conscience will allow you to donate—but for heaven's sake step on some of the floating fakers who are continually knock- ing at doors and your overworked pocketbook. -The Third Emigration (New York Evening Post) The Russian government is considerably worried over what has been designated as the “third emigration.” ‘The first emigration was that of the Socialists and anar- chists in czarist days. The second was that of the one or two million Russians who fled to all parts of the world from the bolshevist terror. The third is that of the “nonreturners,” soviet citizens appointed to diplomatic or other posts abroad who refuse to go back home when so ordered. The penalty for such refusal is death and confiscation of goods. The most prominent and one of the earliest of the “nonreturners” was the counselor of the soviet em- bassy in Paris. When he refused to obey iastructions to go back to Mcscow agents of the OGPU were sent out to get him. Rather than return, he escaped over the embassy wall and demanded protection of the French police for himself and his wife and children. Of the minor officials who have become convinced that “the soviet utopia is a good place to stay away from the num- ber is said to run into the hundreds, One reason for these lamentable defections is the development of a preference, incomprehensible, of course, to the true communist, for the amenities of a society which derives its manners and customs from capitalism. Another is the strong suspicion which must enter the mind of any soviet officia} who has been ordered home that he is to be shot for some real or fancied infraction of soviet doctrine, or perhags simply because his friends at court have becn beaten by his enemies, The third emigration is a striking indication of the conditions of tyranny prevailing in soviet Russia. When government officials, presumably selected for their spe- cial zeal in the cause, desert the ship of state in con- siderable numbers there is: reagon to believe that the. Editorial Comment (ee | It’s an Ill Wind That Blows, But—! | — $$$ —__—_—_—__— Today Is the | BRET HARTE’S BIRTH On Aug. 25, 1839, Bret Harte, fa- mous American humorous poet and novelist, was born at Albany, N. Y. He left his home at 15 to wander to California to dig for gold. After three years of this and teaching school the young adventurer got a job as compositor on the Golden Era. His occasional contributions attract- ed wide attention and soon he be- came editor of another papef, the Weekly Californian. From 1864 to 1867 Harte served as secretary of the United States Mint in San Francisco, but at the same time wrote poems for the newspapers. He later wrote “The Luck of the Roaring Camp” and “The Outcasts of Poker Flat,” perhaps his best short stories. In 1870 he was made profes- sor of literature at the University of Southern California, but left the post to go to New York to continue with his writing. Some years later he was appointed American consul in Gers many and Scotland. Harte’s works, according to one critic, “give a view of early California that supplies an interesting supple- ment to formal history. Most of Bret Harte’s stories and poems depict life on the Pacific coast in the early days, but. he describes life. algo in the, At- lantic states and in England."

The advent of the new service was hailed by Spanish newspapers as an outstanding event in Spanish aviation, reducing as it does the travel time between the Spanish peninsula and the Canary Islands by mgny hours and closely linking the island possessions to the kingdom. e . P. Over Saha The route of the Ford transport on its flight to and from the islands \carried the plane over the broiling ‘Spanish Sahara, with a long jump over water to Las Palmas and Santa Cruz de Tenerife. The out- bound flight, with stops for fuel at Casablanca and Cabo Juby, required 14 hours. On its return flight, the pasty of officials who inaugurated the serv- ice, including Cesar Gomez, director of Classa Air Lines, which operates the services to the Canaries as well as between Madrid, Seville and Bar- celona, and Ernesto Navarro, tech- nicat adv! of the National Aero- nautical. Bureau, participated for three days in the search of the Sahara for’ the Spanish military pilots Burguete and Nunez, who had been forced down in the desert. During this search, the party in the Ford plane combed the Sahara from the air over a strip of territory 300 Kilometers inland from the coast.

The mother did not know what an enema was, and the patient had not had a bowel movement since she first became sick. Incidentally, the patient had not even been given a sponge bath since the beginning of her ill- ness. The mother had tried to keep up her strength by feeding her fried eggs, potatoes and gravy and similar foods. The girl had a temperature of 106 degrees, and was delirious. The girl was very sick, and would un- doubtedly have died had she con- tinued to receive the kind of nursing she had been given. After a few days of correct nursing, sponge baths, enemas, and no food, but plenty of water to drink, she‘re- covered. This may like an ex- treme case, but it differs from many others only in slight details.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Cracking Joints Question: M. K. asks: “What causey a cracking of the joints, in- cluding the jaw bones, when gating? I might mention that I am also troubled with ringing ears.” Answer: A cracking of the joints is usually caused by loose ligaments or a lack of synovial fluid around the joints. Sometimes what appears to be cracking of the jaw can be caused by the clogging of the eustachian tube leading to the mouth and ears which is stretched When the jaw ts moved, and produces a cracking. The pres- ence of the ear noises would also tend to indicate that this condition might be the cause. Acid Fruits in Cystitis Question: Mrs. A. B. asks: “Will you please tell me whether straw- berries or tomatoes are bad for a weak bladder?” Answer: Strawberries, tomatoes and other acid fruits must often be used with-caution by those who have cys- titis. This is not because the acids from the fruits actually pass through the bladder, but because they stimu- late the elimination of many toxins which are irritating. A fast on any of these fruits can usually be under- taken by anyone suffering from cys- titis if the patient will use a large amount of water at the same time, taking as much as two or three gal- lons in a day. Special Diet Question: H. D. asks: “Do you know what kind of a disease one has who cannot eat anything sweet, any- thing sour, anything fried, or cucum- bers, radishes, or fruit of any kind? 1 am supposed to eat often, about every two hours, and drink two or more quarts of water a day, besides two or three quarts of milk.” Answer: It is hard to make head or tail of the diet you are on, but why not clean out your whole alimentary be} canal with a fast and then live on a kept clean and straightened.
