In Chicago a storekeeper who has sold guns to gang- sters is going to be brought to trial, A Chicago jurist has a theory that a man who sells a gun with which a criminal commits a murder can be tried as an accessory in that murder, and it is proposed that thig theory be tested legally in the case of the storekeeper. How the courts will dispose of this contention is some- thing for the future to disclose; meanwhile, the case em- phasizes the ease with which @ criminal can equip him- self with weapons in this country. No matter how this particular trial comes out, society ought to protect it- self by throwing a few more restrictions about the sale and purchase of deadly weapons. if BISMARCK TRIBUNE ‘Waiters in some hotels in Canada are wearing gold epaulettes to distinguish them from guests.

Foreign Representatives @MALL, SPENCER & LEVINGS Formerly © Logan Payne Co, NEW YORE BOSTON ———$————— $$ Ripe Judgment observing his seventieth birthday, thanks his lucky stars that he has remained a soldier and has never got into politica, Still mentally and physically vigorous, General Persh- ing speaks with the weight of three score and ten years upon him when he discusses the subject of politics and its relation to the individual. A press dispatch quotes the warrior as saying: “I have watched what happens to holders of high political office. I have seen their every word distorted and twist- ed to find some hidden meaning. I have seen their polit- jeal supporters picture them as prodigies of wisdom and statesmanship while their opponents at the same time set them out as stupid scoundrels. And I have known them, and know that they were neither the one nor the other, just average Americans.” ‘There is @ world of common sense as well as a wealth of observation in those sentences, particularly the last one. It is a message from a real American ringing loud in the wilderness of bunk and blather which is American politics. Few Americans have had the privilege “to walk ‘with kings” which bas been accorded to Pershing. Twelve years ago he was as powerful as any modern king and some of those kings who still sat upon their thrones placed their hopes int Pershing and those millions of oth- er Americans who went forth to war. And yet, the aver- ‘age American will agree with the general's statement that holders of high public offices are, after all, just average Americans. If they were anything else they could not obtain high public office. ‘The presidency is the highest political office in Amer- ica and the most important in the world, so that our presidents may be taken as outstanding examples. The last four will serve. Each was @ product of his times. ‘Wilson was a college professor and a student. He was a good professor and a good student but there were hun- dreds who were just as good as he was. He was a per- sonality, too, and there, if anywhere, was his only super- rity to some others in his own line of work. Wilson's supporters pictured him as one of the greatest of the great. His enemies pictured him as an impractical dreamer and theorist, if not an actual scoundrel, as General Pershing suggests. But any ef us may make some claims to greatness in our own sphere and all of us have our dreams. Wilson, while an unusual man, might ‘well qualify as an average American, g | Editorial Comment | North Dakota’s Historic Capital (Minneapolis Tribune) Reproduction in the Bismarck Tribune of a wood cut taken from an issue of Harper’s magazine, printed in 1878, recalls the fact that around the sor city of North Dakota, which now is enjoying remar! le growth, are still to' be written some'of the most fascinating chapters of the history of the western great plains area. Bismarck’s founders envisioned there a city as great as Chicago and went about its building accordingly when it was the end of the Northern Pacific railroad, the headquarters for bull trains to the Black Hills and the generally recognized head of navigation on the Missouri, although as a matter of fact the river was navigable much farther up and into the Montana country. Arthur Rogers, the artist, who made the picture re- produced in The Tribune, comments on scenes in Bis- marck 52 years ago. In an old-fashioned variety show he saw the sheriff and a man sentenced to be hanged COOPER’ On September of the pelican. There were other evidences of the old-| Burlington, N. J., fashioned western democracy. children. to the variety show was none other than the late Alex- ander MacKenzie, man of many talents, who in his day became one of the great poljtical leaders of the north- west. Few men who entered into the intrigues of Pioneer days served their state more resourcefully. Somewhere in the variety show crowd probably was Dennis Hannifan, old fashioned western gambler, credited with taking up in his gaming palace the first collection ever made for church purposes in that section of the state. Some day a great writer of fiction will go to Bismarck, look“ out on the lordly expanse of the Missouri from Sleep Hill, ancient vantage place of the Mandans, and create there from its community lore a story as fascinat- ing as Emerson Hough's western classics. For such the city of Bismarck and its environs have a local color and history most inspiring. The dream of the pioneers that Bismarck would be- come a second Chicago may never come true.

To his supporters the was the alpha and omega of knowledge and of all that was desirable. He was hailed by one side as the greatest constructive genius of the ages. Some of his opponents even hinted that he was, at heart, pro-British rather than American. At this juncture, the president is being both praised and condemned. The laudations come from those who ‘would gain by presidential favor or by continuance of ‘Mr. Hoover and his political party in power.

In training a child, it is far more valuable to bring out the instinctive desire to excel than to say, “This is good for you,” or “That is bad for you.” A boy may be indifferent to a show- er of facts about health, but suppose he wants to win a mile race at the school track meet? He is willing to go into training, and will simply guip down the facts about health. Teach him to brag about the amount ot veg- etable: he can eat. Give him help- ings that are obviously too small and let him ask for more rather- than force large helpings upon him. It is a good policy to make favor- able suggestions about food when talking to someone at the table so that the child can overhear, as, “Lindbergh drinks lots of milk and that makes him a strong man.” Many of our dislikes for food are associated with the memory of some sickness of the stomach.

Cueerione AND ANSWERS Question: Mrs. J. K. writes: “I have trouble in getting to sleep at night. ‘Will you please tell me the cause of this? Also, I have a dizzy feeling in my head upon arising.” Answer: Insomnia is generally pro- duced by over-eating at the evening meal, or using foods which make stomach gas. This would also cause biliousness, with the resultant dizzy spells which you experience. each morning. Plums Question: M. W. asks: “Are plums all right in combination with other foods?” Answer: Plums are a good acid fruit but should be used by themselves. In season they make a good noonday luncheon. : Legs Swell Buring Fast Question: H. L. writes: “Please tell me why orange juice makes my feet and legs swell and pain me so. I am much overweight, and took the orange juice for four or five days and lost ten pounds, but had to stop on ac- count of this swelling and pain.” Answer: . The orange juice fast is given to patients who have swollen hands and feet. You can rest assured that if you had continued your fast the swelling would have disa . The “crisis” period frequently arises on the third to fifth day of the fast, and often various symptoms are-pro- duced by the stirring up of the toxins in the blood stream, some of them be- ing swellings or pain in those of the body where there have large deposits of impurities.
