CHICAGO NEW YORE BOSTON The Torchbearers The old saying that “the hand which rocks the cradle rules the world” is just as true now as it ever was and no one will dispute it at great length. It takes nothing away‘from credit due to the mothers of the race, however, to add that the teachers of the world do much to mold its destiny also. For that reason, and there are a host of others, the meeting in Bismarck of the teachers of the Mis- souri Slope country is of particular importance. The weather and a mechanical failure on the part of the equipment at the city auditorium conspired to give them a rather chilly reception last night, but that unto- ‘ward incident is no indication of the regard in which Bismarck holds its visitors. Local folk suffered the discomforts of a cold meeting place with the same stoic fortitude \as the visitors. But Bismarck’s heart is warm toward the teachers of the country because it sees in them an agency for the im- provement of conditions, not only now but in the future. The attitude of mind which the citizens of the future bring to the problems which confront them will be de- termined largely by the teachers which the public-pro- vides for them. A survey of Bismarck’s visitors at the present convention gives assurance that this attitude will be favorable to sound development. They are a competent, conscientious and well-trained group, these Slope country teachers, and Bismarck is glad of the opportunity to entertain them. Too often, persons are inclined to delegate to the schools a good many of the jobs with regard to the mental, moral, social and physical development of chil- dren which should be done at home. The teachers them- selves, through the work of parent-teacher groups and by other means, are helping to dissipate this erroneous idea. They have a sound knowledge of what the public can reasonably expect from the public schools and they are doing their best to live up to this expectation. At the same time, they know they cannot, alone and single- handed, cure the ills which modern civilization is heir to. ‘The teachers of today are the torchbearers of civiliz- ation. As much, almost, as the mothers of the land, are they responsible for the ideals of the coming generation. We are confident that, despite the handicaps under which many of them work, they are doing a good job and the public appreciates their efforts. But, perhaps, the best way for the fathers and moth- ers of North Dakota to show that appreciation is by aiding them in their work; by preparing their children, during the pre-school years, to receive the teacher’s instruction in the right spirit and by so training. their children at home that the teacher’s work in school will be made easier. ‘This is cooperation of the kind which the teachers will appreciate. Mr. Woodcock on Prohibition Mr. Amos W. Woodcock, who holds the powerful post of prohibition director for the department of justice, has issued a little brochure on the prohibition question which is attracting @ great deal of attention throughout the country just now. Its title is “The Value of Law Observance” and it is defined by the author as “a factual monograph.” It contains some 57 pages and is interesting reading, re- gardless of oné’s attitude toward the prohibition ques- tion. Although primarily interested in prohibition, of course, ‘Mr. Woodcock goes a good deal into the theory of law and deals in some detail with pure food and drug laws, health and sanitation laws, anti-gambling laws and laws prohibiting prostitution as being in the same category with the prohibition law. Mr. Woodcock refers to them as “laws that, by their very nature, restrict personal liberty.” Through his entire book, Mr. Woodcock displays the attitude of \the common-sense rather than the fanatical dry. He thinks prohibition ‘can be made to work, but frankly admits that it must have more public support than it is now getting if it is to be wholly successful. And in line with that idea, in a discussion of the stat- ute law, there appears the following statement: “When the theory of statute law is examined it appears that frequently a law is written upon the statute books of a state or nation before the subject that is to be con- trolled has become a custom of all of the people who are asked to observe the law. “This situation is the basts of some of the criticism directed against the national prohibition act. The theory advanced by legal authorities is that greater progress is made by an aggressive people when their lawmakers lead rather than follow public opinion, but this very attitude opens the way of criticism of any law that is not deemed satisfactory by all of the people. “There are certain major economic activities in the development of the United States, for example, that show the effect.of the statute law on the United States as a nation, when it proceeded ahead of public opinion. “The early decisions of the United States Supreme Court regarding common carriers illustrate this develop- ment. The present growing body of statute law, dealing ‘with regulation and contro! of aeronautics and radio, is Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by’ other editors.” They are published with. 0 whether agri The Tribune's policies, "7 “Sree OF disagree with Employ Own Citizens ‘ (Adams County Record) At the present a number of states are carrying on extensive road building programs. One of the justifica- tions for this is that it will offer employment to many People out of work. Yet, some of the states are com- Plaining that the contractors employ help from other states. Within the past week action has been taken by at least two states to force contractors to hire their own citizens first. In New York, Governor Roosevelt warned all contractors that they must employ New York citiz- ens first. In South Carolina the Highway Department has instituted an investigation to ascertain exactly how many of its own citizens are being employed by road contractors, This is quite proper. While it is very good to be sympathetic about unemployment conditions elsewhere, each state owes its own citizens the primary duty. As far as possible, when state funds are being expended, the citizens of that particular state should be the ones to reap the benefit of the employment provided, The Whip (St. Paul Dispatch) Desperate emergencies frequently invite desperate remedies. It is accordingly not at all surprising that se- rious and thoughtful men should consider unusual means to check crime. Out of such consideration has come the Suggestion that the whipping post be revived as a punish- ment for crime. Increased punishment for the apprehended wrongdoer is the resort to which the average man turns almost instinctively in seeking a method of deterring criminally inclined members of society. Present penalties, he rea- sons, have failed to deter criminals; hence, they are evidently inadequate. Punishments that are more severe seem to be the answer, Sound as this appears theres abundant evidence to indicate that increasing penalties for crime do not nec- essarily increase the deterrent\to crime. - ‘The attitude of Europeans toward criminal punishment is seth forth in the report of the commission on European methods in penal treatment headed by former Governor Lowden of Illinois. Discussing ideas of ¢ountries which have been more successful than ours in dealing with crime the report declares: “Though there is no lel-down in Europe in the general attempt to make punishment swift and certain, the thing which strikes one’s atten- tion is the absence of any tendency to more severe Penalties or harsher prison regime . . . While we Ameri- cans seem to think crime can be held in check by punish- ing severely an insignificant fraction of our criminais, Europeans believe that it is far more effective to in:pose sss eld mild penalties on a larger proportion of those end.” European opinion is sustained by experience of criminol- ogists in this country. Pointing out the fact that many cr! escape punishment entirely and that the law's delays render imposition of any penalty remote, they urge that swiftness and certainty of justice would do more than severity to make crime unattractive, ‘The whip apparently fails to commend itself as a crime deterrent less because of its inhuman and uncivilized attributes than because of the simple fact that it is in- effective in preventing crime. Crime will become more distasteful to the weak and the wicked when possibility of escaping punishment, whatever it is, becomes virtually impossible. Mild punish- ment that is swift and certain and inescapable will dis- courage more crime than the severest savagery meted out to @ small minority of offenders. No matter how horrible a punishment may be, criminals will be only mildly fearful of it so long as they feel con- fident of their escape and of their acquittal, if they fail to escape. More competent police and swift justice rather than harsher punishment seem the better crime deterrent, (Williams County Farmers Press) ‘The word “economy” is as non-existant as a dodo ina Political sense in so far as it conveys any meaning.

Economy has been shouted from the housetops, yet let one consider: ‘Under the late Governor Sorlie’s administration the surplus in the treasury at the end of the biennial period ‘was $1,568,080.00. Under the administration of Shafer that surplus has been depleted to a condition where ac- cording to the treasurer’s books the state will have to borrow money to operate on. This is the first time that will have happened since Nestos was governor. Under Nestos the state borrowed money and the Sorlie admin- istration had to pay off the debt and build up the sur- But that is not all the story. When the levy for the general fund was made it showed an increase of $304,- In 1929 the general fund levy has been boosted to $2,901,862.00. The rate that the administration has been spending pest in the history of the state by of the state by $333,896.38. Yet the state board of equalization under 1. V. A. control in order to make a showing reduced the state levy. That proved to the voter in the primary elec- tion that administration was practicing economy. But the “showing” puts the state in a financial position where it will have to borrow money after completely wip- ing out the Sorlie surplus of $1,568,000.00. It is incon- celvable that the administration did not know it wa: robbing Peter to pay Paul, but Lore fodder. And that is “economy” in independent The taxpayer will have to pay interest on money rowed to run the state government and will have to pay more general taxes than before. That is the actual con- dition that Shafer “economy” has broyght about. Another sample of that aforesaid word “economy”: as used by the independents in their political campaign is the reduction in valuation of railroads the sum of $575,017 Jess than the 1929 valuation. That was a nice melon to hand out, but how about the business man and the farm- er?

Today Is the ° Anniversary of BURGOYNE’S SURRENDER On Oct. 17, 1777, the turning point in the American Revolution was reached when General Burgoyne sur- rendered with about 5,000 men to the American General Gates at Saratoga, N. Y. Burgoyne landed in America early in the year and was placed in com- mand of a powerful expedition of 10,000 men with orders to penetrate into New York state from Canada and then march south to join Gen- eral Howe's forces, so as to divide the American confederacy in half. Burgoyne captured Ticonderoga on July 6, but on Aug. 16, a detachment of his army was almost annihilated. Then, after two decisive defeats at Stillwater, he surrendered to Gates. Washington permitted Burgoyne to return to England, but the king re- fused to see him. Burgoyne went over to the opposi- tion party and resigned his appoint- ments, but on a change of ministry at the close of the Revolution he was appointed commander in chief in Treland. | Quotations | “The eighteenth amendment has not furthered the cause of temper- ance.”—Governor Franklin D.

If dummy now plays the eight, East should not play the ace, but should play the ten, which would force the declarer’s queen, and in this manner the declarer would get only one trick, while if East were to go up with the ace, he knows that he is absolutely setting a trick in dum- my for the declarer, and if the de- clarer does happen to hold the queen, would be setting two tricks, as would be the case in this example.

Would you please tell me if she will regain her speech soon?

Do not give her just a “liquid diet,” but eliminate everything ex- » cept water and her blood will be able - to absorb the blood-clot or other con- gestion which is causing the pressure upon the affegted nerves. The Elderberry Question: H.R. P. asks: “Will you print a recipe for making elder- berry wine? I have heard so many times that it is good for the stomach.” Answer: I could not publish such @ recipe, even if I knew one.

I have printed this diet so often that it will-be necessary for you to send for the instructions. Simply write to me personally, enclosing a large, self-addressed, stamped en- velope, stating that you want the tonsil article, and I will send you complete instructions for dieting your child so that you can bring about a satisfactory cure.
