CHICAGO YN Y New YORK BOSTON What of It? It was a rather surprising answer which Glenn Frank, | president of Wisconsin university, made to charges that he was “indifferent to communism® on the campus of that institution. Mr, Frank said, “Well, what of it? We are apt to have both communists and Presbyterians here and, as I have said previously, a student has as much right to be a communist as he has to be a Presbyterian or a Baptist. | It is not the business of the university to dictate the political and religious beliefs of its students.” So far as his exposition of “the business of the uni- versity” goes Mr. Frank probably is right. America is a free country and freedom of speech, religion and political belief is guaranteed by the constitution. And yet, the manifest indifference of Mr. Frank to the spread of communism at a great institution of learn- ing is both surprising and distressing. Granting the right of any one to believe in communism if he wishes to do so and is silly enough to persist in the belief, it would seem the duty of a great public educational institution to set the feet of young stu- dents in the path which will lead them to the most use- fulness to America and to the world. Communism, like other evils which we have always with us, may have its uses, but to us its chief benefit, if benefit it may be called, is to serve as a warning against itself. The average American cannot conceive of com- munism as contributing to the welfare of this or any other country. Some of the evils which communism al- legedly seeks to correct may need correction, but as a practical matter it is apparent that the cure would be much worse than the disease. Mr. Frank long has been noted as a liberal, but ‘nis statement yesterday may well be classed as radical. Either he feels that the students who profess com- munism will get over it and be the better for having had the disease and banished it and that the business had better be left alone to wear itself out, or that commun- ism is not, after all, as dangerous as most of us be- lieve it. His answer to the charges is pithy enough but we would like to see Mr. Frank’s position on the subject stated more fully. Either there are some desirable points about com- munism which we have overlooked or there is serious question as to the desirability of Mr. Frank continuing ‘0 occupy the position which he now holds. Late for Supper Tragedy stalks silently throughout the land, striking swiftly and often where least expected. But because it still is the exception rather than the rule for the peace of pople’s lives to be disturbed by major disaster, these items take front-page space in the newspapers. And yet, to us who read about but do not see these events, they seem too distant and remote to be of per- sonal interest. But an occasional bit of good newspaper reporting manages to bring home to us, in a manner easily understood, the real truth of tragedy. Occasion- ally an apparently trifling event, a bit of drama caught in fleeting words, makes’ us feel as though we actually were at the scene of the happening. It spurs our imagin- ation into action and we can see ourselves in the same position as those about whom the story is written. Such a bit of graphic picturization occurred in the story published by the newspapers Wednesday with regard to the mine explosion in Oklahoma which cost 30 lives. Here it is: “Relatives ot the entombed miners re- mained near the mouth of the mine throughout the night, staring anxiously at the pit cars as they came to the surface. One, a little boy, ventured too near the mouth of the mine early in the night and was ordered by a guard to return behind the ropes separating the spectators and rescue workers. \ “I’m waiting for my. father,’ he said. “The boy was told by the guard his father would return soon, and with tears in his eyes replied, ‘I know, but he’s already late for supper.’” ‘There is pathos there. The tragedy of a child separated from his father by the grim hand of death, an expression of the blind and simple faith of a child in his father, to him the greatest man in the world, and utter lack of appreciation of the disaster which had befallen. We, thinking of it, can learn a lesson for, sometimes, behind the apparently minor tragedies of life, such as being late for supper, there may lurk real trouble of dev- astating proportions. Really Important In all the news of the world as it flashes before our eyes in the daily newspapers, there occasionally ap- Pears an item of really outstanding importance. Such a one was flashed over the telegraph wires Thursday. It did not take the biggest headlines because {t didn't have the quality which inspires editors to use their largest type, but it may be remembered long after other news these days has been forgotten. The story in’ question appeared on the front page of Thursday's, Tribune because it was first-page news. It told how Dr. Felix d'Herelle, a professor at Yale, has found s substance or parasite which literally eats up disease ‘germs. It goes by the name of “bacteriophage,” meaning bacteria eater, and the manner in which it operates is still something of a mystery. It is sufficient to know, however, that it has been successfully used in the treat- ment of dysentery, bubonic plague and Asiatic cholera. Presumably it also may prove useful in combating other maladies. This is’of prime importance. These diseases have Favaged certain parts of the world from time immemo- fal and heretofore there has been no cure. Any quick snd sure method of combating them is cettain to be 1 Of lasting benefit. It is easily possible that this announcement may be ‘of more importance to the human race than any other item we have read in many a year. Death for Kidnapers Down in the little town of Galva, Ill, the leading citizen, a banker named Yocum, was kidnaped and sub- sequently released and several men have been arrested, charged with complicity in the crime. Unlike some of our states, the Illinois law provides a maximum penalty of death for kidnapers. It will be interesting to see if it will be invoked in this case. Doubtless it will be ignored and the men, if convicted, will be let off with a relatively light prison sentence. Without going into the question of whether capital punishment is right or wrong, a good many people will agree that in many cases kidnaping is as bad a crime as murder. There is no question as to premeditation, Such crimes always are carefully planned. They are executed in cold blood and with full realization of the suffering, the grief and the misery they will cause. That knowl- edge is what makes the kidnaper hopeful that his scheme to obtain easy money will succeed. He knows the feeling of helplessness which will fol- low the abduction of a child from its parents or of a father from his family. He knows that a mother or wife will be heart-torn with grief and he knows that his demands will be met by the average wife or parent if it is possible for the latter to do so, And so he strikes. If heartlessness has anything to do with the punish- ment inflicted for the commission of a crime, it is easy to understand how kidnaping may well be rated in the same category with murder. Editorial Comment Editorials Drinted below show the trend of thought by other editors, They are published with- 0 whe! ey agree or disagree will The Tribune's poli die la Keep the Trail Open (Adams County Record) Stretching diagonally across the southwestern section of the state lies approximately one hundred miles of fed- eral highway commonly known as the Yellowstone Trail. Because of its isolation and inaccessibility it is, like the section through which it passes, largely an orphan insofar as the rest of the state is concerned. Throughout the winter months it is often partially or wholly closed be- cause of snow and remains so for days until volunteers shovel out the drifts, The fact that the Yellowstone Trail is the most im- portant road in the southwest Slope country makes it almost imperative that this road be kept open at all times. When snow drifts render the road impassable for as much as a week at a time business stagnates and suf- fers throughout the section in which the road passes. A solution to this problem is necessary if business in the southwest Slope country is to continue uninterrupted throughout the winter months. Through legislative action by the state of North Da- kota each county is allotted a maximum sum of twenty- five dollars per mile of federal highway in the county for the puPpose of keeping those highways open through- out the year. According to Adams county officials, how- ever, the payment of this money to the various counties is contingent upon their purchase and maintainance of a tractor or truck and snowplow costing more than the majority of the counties can afford. Last winter when travel was impossible on the Trail, telegrams to the state highway department disclosed the fact that, although the state maintained tractors and trucks for clearing the state and federal roads of snow, they had no equipment nearer the Yellowstone Trail than Dickinson and because of their inability to reach this highway, could not help us. Consequently the Yellowstone Trail remained closed until volunteer crews shoveled the drifts out. The southwest Slope country along the Yellowstone Trail is entitled to more consideration. Our isolation should not permit either forgetfulness or discrimina- tion, but should secure for us closer attention from those in charge of our roads in order that we may secure the same advantages that are extended to other sections of the state. We are not like other areas over the state in that we are able to take another road when our main highway is closed. We have no second choice. ‘When the Yellowstone Trail is closed our business and travel practically ceases, Our hundred miles of federal highway should justify the placing of a state highway tractor or truck and snowplow in this section of the country. Adams, Bow- man, and Slope county road officials should get together or correspond with each other and with the officials of the state highway commission in an effort to have a state owned snowplow stationed on the Yellowstone Trail throughout the winter months, Farm Board Strikes Back (Bottineau Courant) Coincident with announcement the butter, egg and Poultry men, the grain and feed dealers and other mid- dlemen agencies are out in the open as absolutely op- Posed to the agricultural marketing act (Hoover legis- lation), is action by the federal trade commission in beginning an investigation of the grain trade circulating Propaganda detrimental to the federal farm board. Chi- cago and Minneapolis grain commission men will be put on the carpet. Circulars, pamphlets, reproductions of advertisements printed by an obscure Nebraska weekly, reproduction of newspaper criticism of the farm board, costly and ex- pensive charts pretending to show the Canadian wheat Pool is a dismal failure, have been sent through the mali in a perpetual flood. The National Grain Journal, organ for the Minneapolis grain trade and grain gam- blers, has repeatedly intimated President Hoover will back up on the marketing act or go down to defeat, and went oe far as to predict a “revolution.” And what the grain trade has been too cautious to mention in printed mat- ter can be extracted from country men placed on the witness stand and compelled to tell the truth or com- mit perjury. If the federal trade commission is sincere in its quest of “propaganda against the seal farm board,” it can unearth oceans of it. The grain trade and grain gamblers (there is little distinction) has been very defiant, very brash in its at- tacks on the farm board in belief it is too powerful for the government to tackle. Possibly it has been too brash. We shall see. When Secretary Hyde made a how-de-do over the Rus- sian government selling wheat short in that market, there was at first an evident disposition to belittle his criticism. Chicago grain gamblers were contemptuous in expression any move made to curtail grain gambling would be futile. Directors of the Chicago exchange, how- ever, aware the government could close their exchange in the twinkle of an eye, not only promised to bar short. selling by all foreign governments; it openly interdicted bear raids and short selling wholly designed to depress the price. The defiant Chicago grain gamblers put their tails between their legs and quieted down. They have pretended to be good, though sales of wind wheat in enormous quantitics since that time is conclusive the bear raids continue. While doubtful if the proposed investigation accom- plishes more than to extract additional promises from the grain gamblers they will be good, the probe will reveal the bitter, implacable hatred of the grain trade for Mr. Hoover's farm relief legislation and the whyfore —fear of impairment or annulment of the present grain gambling system. Do away with the profits it piles up as keepers of the gambling house and it is doubtful it it would continue in the legitimate barter and handling of grain, On several occasions leading grain trade men have complained the activities of the farm board have ‘tended to restrict speculation (gambling) with pretense less gambling has conduced to depressed prices. Of course, there is no concern over depressed grain prices by the keepers of the gambling house—what they are grouching about is less gambling means less profits to the house. When there is a dearth of option suckers that is bad—for the grain trade. ‘What we hope from the proposed investigation uncov- ering the extent of adverse propaganda directed at the farm board by the grain trade is this may instigate fur- ther investigations. From this investigation may come reprisal by the grain trade, till reprisal brings reprisal. Out of it all may come a probe of how much stock and grain gambling has cost the American public, a gigan- tic revelation that gambling is at the bottom of our hard times with its consequent unemployment, poverty and misery. When that day comes, a million or more gam- bling-house keepers will have to seek honest work. - (Killdeer Herald) In talking about the present world depression and hard times, Henry Ford says: “The world has been on a spree and is all the better for it.” Henry is a self-con- fessed prohibitionist but sincé he has been wandering about Europe he must have discovered something about “sprees” which he would not adinit while over here. —- —_____________» i AT THE MOVIES | “| tail, _THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1930 SYNOPSIS: Denny Dorn, Greenwich Village ly For a moment I thought of asking, murdered in bla home guring a tay, pty tsteewtay roc e policeman if he would let me hangin lere rope. its are sus; One, | take a second look at Dorn’s A Henry enter a loa in the cellar, suffering from a stroke which | Perhaps I could find some paralyzes before ve the clue that will | the murder.

The shape ie oe red faced policeman irritat He wanted to be friendly, but I was in no humor to be friendly with any one. The bathroom was smaller than the kitchenette. It had a tile floor and tile half way up the walls, There was a window in it. It was locked from the inside. I unlocked it and looked out on the back yard. It was so dark that I could see very little. There was no way that a person could have got up to that window unless a ladder had been used and there was no evidence of a ladder or fire escape. Besides, the window had been locked from the inside. A person entering the bathroom and then ihe ino the main studio roont to get to the kitchenette would have ‘had to move faster re a ait in the room. I re- membered looking in re Dathroon right after Dorn had been discov- ered hanging’in the doorway and "Did you ever see this before?” the policeman queried, @ foolish tangent.

M. asks: “Will you please tell me the name of a medi- cated healing astringent plaster tc use for inflamed kidneys?” Answer: I do not know of any medicated plaster which will have any effect on inflamed kidneys. flammation of the kidneys is pro- duced either by infection through tne genito-urinary organs or from the kidneys being forced to throw out jexcessive amounts of bodily toxins. Oranges Question C. M. N. asks: “Would eating too many oranges cause my fingernails to become soft? I eat onc orange in the morning and one or two at night before retiring. I also eat quite a lot of candy. Would that cause it?” Answer: Using too much sugar can deplete your blood of its normal alkaline reserve and this might cause the softening of your fingernails. The oranges cannot hurt you and, in fact, if you use oranges properly they Thin Neck Question: A. L. G. writes: “My neck is very thin. Would olive oil or cocoa butter rubbed into it every night tend to nourish it? Could you suggest something better?” Answer: The actual rubbing will help to increase the circulation, but oils are not sufficiently absorbed through the skin to have any effect in increasing fat in the tissues. The best way to develop your neck is to take suitable exercises for those muscles in the neck. There is cer- tainly no advantage in making the neck fat. Today Is the ‘Anniversary of HALLOWEEN On Oct. 31, Halloween, or All Hal- low’s Eve is celebrated. It takes its name from All Saints’ Day, the ob- servance of which was instituted in the seventh century to commemorate the conversion of the Pantheon, or temple of all the gods, in Rome, into a Christian place of worship. The traditional observance of Hal- loween are survivals of ancient superstitions and pagan festivals. The tradition of superstition is that this is the time when supernatural influ- | ences prevail and when spirits walk abroad. Many of the familiar customs of Halloween—the games and pranks of children and grownups, together with the ghostly tales by the firelight— spring directly from these beliefs. A book published in 1511, called “The Festyvall,” mentions a custom obsolete even at that time. “We rede,” it says, “in olde tyme good people wolde on All halowen days bake brade and dele it for all crysten ‘soules.” il BARBS oo “Golf,” says Glenna Collett, “is the master beauty specialist.” It does sort of put one in a fair way. see The only time a waiter gets in wrong taking a tip, says Margin Max, is when it comes from Wall street. ° x ek * “well-Albie durned!” said the visit- ing’ team as Yale's coach sent Mr. Booth into the game. ee The open miniature golf champion- ship was played on Lookout Moun- tain.

Editor of The Tribune: Next Tuesday, November 4th, we are to vote on a constitutional amendment. What will the adop- tion of this amendment do? The adoption of this amendment will make it possible for the sheriff and the treasurer to serve eight years at a time instead of only four as at present. What is it the adoption of this amendment will not do? will not reduce the number of elec- jtions. It will be necessary to hold tofore. The adoption of this amendment will not result in the reduction of our taxes. We shall have to have just as many judges and clerks of elections as heretofore. There may be a slight saving in printing but this will be spent in other ways. Four-year terms are of no con- ceivable benefit to the taxpayers, nor do our officers need such long terms. Our officers receive the same good pay, the same steady and cer- tain income when times are hard as when they are good. Our officers are best off when the taxpayer suf- fers the most from hard times.
