CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Funny—To the Rest of Us Some of the things which politicians do—and withal maintain a straight face—are hilariously funny to a great many citizens whose interest in politics is only casual. Every good citizen is interested in his local, state and federal government because it is his business to be. 60, but very few take their politics as a personal matter ‘ny more. Less and less each year are men looking to political action as a cure for their personal ills. The politician, of course, is never so casual. His posi- tion or his income depends upon his maintaining him- Self in power or getting into power. . It is a. bread -and butter game and politicians play it with all the energy which the rest of us show in pushing our own business. ‘The difference is that the politician usually feels, forced ‘to cloak the motives which impel him to the ‘things he does. : Probably the best burlesque in some time is that now being enacted in Washington where Mr. Robert H. Lucas, executive director of the Republican national com- mittee, finds himself “on the pan” by reason of his op- Position to Senator George W. Norris of Nebraska. -Mr. Lucas, it will be remembered, admitted that he tried to bring about the Nebraskan’s defeat in the election last fall, He was very quiet about it but the forces set in action by the energetic Mr. Nye of our own state finally brought Mr. Lucas to light as the dark menace in the G. O. P; woodpile. Mr. Norris and his!cohorts are bellowing for the Lucas. blood. They want to see the political, guillotine operate on Mr. Lucas. They say it is dangerous to the party to have such a traitor in a place of high command. As might be expected, Mr. Lucas ‘has countered with the idea that Mr. Norris and those who think like him should be expelled from the party. Mr. Norris, says Mr. Lucas, doesn't represent his idea of what a Republican should be. Tt is all very important ‘because, after all, the dif- ficulty affects the political organization now ruling the land but, at the same time, it is funny. The argument, of course, is to decide whether Mr. Lucas or Senator Norris is a Republican. + 34 ‘When Senator Moses referred to the western independ- ent. senators as “sons of wild jackasses,” it was merely a forerunner of the situation which now exists. There were signs on the political moon long before that. For in- stance, North Dakotans well remember the time when Mr. Norris and both North Dakota senators were kicked out into the cold by the powers of the Republican party. Later, of course, they were received back with open arms; and given preference in the way of committee appoint- ments. In reality, therefore, the present battle has some historical precedent in our own times. It is amusing to the average citizen because he has Jong known that both Senator Norris and men like Mr.; Lucas Rave been bound together only by the desire to “get somewhere” in politics. Each probably is sincere in his own definition of Republicanism, but the coalition of the Norrises and the Lucases of the. party for many yeats has been a sham of very thin Yabric. To see it exposed and fought over, therefore, amuses the onlooker for he has been aware of the inconsistency of this-sitya- tion for many years, n North Dakota Scores Again Whatever one may say about football as a sport, there 1s no denying its value as an advertising medium. North Dakota university’s squad of pigskin ghasers. drew some comment when they went east this Yall, made a creditable showing against the West Point cadets and vanquished Duquesne. It must have served to give: the effete east a new conception of the way in which things have developed here in the northwest. ‘The Pacific coast probably thinks of North Dakota as & land of. perpetual ice, snow and political wrangles, It served as an eye-opener, therefore, for the Nodaks to capture the scalps of the Los Angeles Firemen in con- vineing fashion Christmas day. Some of the advertising which North Dakota has re- ceived outside its boundaries has been bad but the prej- udice which these misstatements have built up is bound to yanish with the better understanding athletic com- petition brings. “The sight of a strong football team, composed of fine, clean young men, is bound to give other sections & new idea of North Dakota. Beating the other fellow in @ clean, fair manner is bound to give him new respect as well as keener understanding. & ; For the sake of the state, therefore, as well as for the fine record which the university team already has‘niade this year, we are glad the Nodaks won, .. * Work vs. Amusement Beware of both hard work and of too much amuse- ‘ment is the moral which may be drawn from the warn- ing of a big insurance company’s health department. The death rate from pneumonia, be it known, is in- creasing and too much play as well as too much work are listed as leading causes. At this season of the year, the experts explain, most persons work the hardest and indulge in the widest social activities. Insufficient fresh sir'is accompanied by insufficient sleep.. The system. is Weakened, so the doctors claim, and the germs: which are ever present in the system get in their nasty work. The result is a full-fledged case of pneumonia. Few of us are aware that work and amusement, either slone.or together, could have such dite effects, A Case for Dismissals {t 4s good to learn that Ohio spared itself the infamy of putting a 14-year-old boy on trial for his life as p . ‘The young delinquent, who had been driven mst insane by fear of the electric chair, was per- beén lofiged in the boys’ industrial school. ’ However, there is one thing Ohio ought to look into. 4 e SRA A TAM APN CIRC ginactmn eel THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1980 electrocution, telling him that he was sure to be executed and ,doing ‘their miserable best to throw him into a The Buckeye state might learn something by coming out here to North Dakota and taking a look at the state training school in Mandan. As such institutions go there are many larger in the land and many with more imposing buildings, but few can point to a more constructive record with regard to improving the physical, mental and moral outlook of the children who are sent there. After all, that is the real object of such institutions, Unless they do that they are drains on the public purse which have failed to justify themselves. The Names of America News that the town of Lineoleumville, on Staten Island, New York, has voted to change its name to something less. bizarre leads one to hope that Linoleumville isn't starting a movement that will become general. Some of our place names are very odd, and some of them ‘probably bring a blush to the native son’s cheek when he signs a hotel register; but most of them are descriptive, and it would be a mistake to change them. To begin with, there is Main street. For some reason this name evokes great merriment in the metropolitan centers, as if it were intrinsically amusing. If you are really enlightened, you will never mention Main street without a sneer... . But after all—what's wrong with Main street as a name? It is perfectly apt. The street that gets that name is, usually, a town’s main street. Why not name it that way? Besides, Main street has become distinctive. It 1s typical of this time and place. In its bluntness, its lack of affectation and its commonness, Main street is per- haps our foremost Americanism. It is worth hanging on to. ‘Then there are town names. Some of them auto- matically shed light on old, forgotten history. Bad Axe, in Michigan, for instance, is wonderfully expressive. So are Medicine Bow, Wyoming, and Placerville, in Cali- fornia, and Prairie du Chien, in Wisconsin, and Baton Rouge, in Louisiana. “There are smiallér places, too, whose names have a refreshing strangeness: Such towns as Horse Thief, “Ariz. ;: Kan.; Defeated Creek, Ky.; Smoky Ordinary, Va.; Womble, N. C.; Good Water, Ala. and Hahatomka, Mo. would any sensible man, living in a town with such a namte,.consent to having it changed to something less| outlandish? . For all names of this sort really mean something. No self-conscious Chamber of Commerce has tried to pret} tify them or get an’ urban flavor into their rural con- notation. If yoy dug back to the beginnings and got a description of each christening, you might have some good stories. That town of Horse Thief, for instance— doesn’t it speak for ‘itself? And wouldn't you like to know how Defeated Creek got its name? ‘The early geographers, in some cases, had a veritable genius for nomenclature. Cape Cod could not have a better name; nor’ could Old Point Comfort, or the Golden Gate, or the Great Smoky Mountain chain, or the En- chanted Mesa, or the Staked Plains of Texas, or Lake Minnetonka.’ _ But those names, musical and romantic in their sound, are beside the point. The important thing is for these lesser places to keep their names. Let Lineoleumville be the last to give up’a picturesque title.

The latest Washington report, published in The Herald last night, is to the effect that, in order to accomplish something like.a unanimous report, prohibition is to bel relegated to a subordinate place and the report devoted largely to a general ‘discussion of the crime situation. When it is so paipable that prohibition is the fertile soll in which most of our organized crime flourishes, to discuss the .crime situation while ignoring, for policy’s sake, the condition that causes it looks like a vast waste of breath. Crime. -is rife, especially. in the large cities, because criminals ‘find. it absurdly profitable to violate the pro- G hibition laws and thus are equipped with the most gigan- tic treasury that.criminals ever rioted in. Oyt.of that situation grows the criminal gang, the racketeer, the briber of public officials whose clothing ‘bulges with big To discuss the. gang, the .racketeer and the corrupter of public officials while virtually ignoring the chief cause of them:all would be to make a travesty of the whole proceeding: ‘The only Way.to.cure any disease is to find the cause and eradicate it, There is danger that the crime com- mission will ignore that fundamental rule of social treatin, If it does, its. report can have very little lue. The Power Fight Begins z (Washinton Star) The shake-up in. the federal power commission's per- sonnel represented in the requested resignations of Wil- Mam V. King, chief accountant; Charles A. Russell, solici- tor, and F. E. Bonner, executive secretary, should be interpreted as a natural desire on the part of the newly appointed commissioners to start their difficult task with @ clean slate, and the enforced separations from the service of the former employes should be considered without prejudice to themselves or to their records. But because Mr. Russell and Mr. King have won for themselves the reputed title of “enemies of the power trusts,” as against the reputed title of’ “friend of the power trusts” held by Mr. Bonner, thé new commission- ers have exposed themselves to senate wrath and even to threats that their confirmations will be reconsidered. According to the theory behind the attack on the com- missioners, it was a wise step to let Mr. Bonner go, but ‘a betrayal of the public trust not to retain Mr. Russell ‘and Mr. King. Is this good reasoning? The Ot power commission -{won more prominence by the internal strife between the three employes concerned than by any acts of com- mission or omission in connection with regulation of power companies. If Mr. Bonner’s friendliness to the Power trusts was enough to make his continued service with the commission inadvisable, the same reasoning could, and obviously .has been applied, in considering the inadvisability of continuing the services of Mr. Rus- sell and Mr. King, the “enemies” of the power compan- ies. The commission is a regulatory and quasi-judicial body. It would be reprehensible for it to begin its func- tions with personnel that is biased in either direction. eir oaths office.

Unless the senate desires to extend its power of ap- proval of presidential appointments to the examination and approval of every minor employe selected for a gov- ernment job, the vociferous critics of the new power commission may as well restrain themselves. Otherwise they will spend their breath in vain. « Black -Bass, Ia.; ‘Promptness, Pa.; Breezy Hill,| ® be e By MARGARET DAVIS: Miss Hilda Krause some time in Wilton.

These long hours resulted in crippled bodies and dwarfed intellects.’ Even though a great improvement has taken place in most civilized communities, there is much progress that could be made. There are still quite a few states and countries where the fourteen year age limit is not regulated by law, and in others, children of very. youthful permitted to work if develop its full strength until the age of twenty-five.

Often dis- -imrnatured working children which can be directly traced to the occupation. For the body to develop properly it is necessary to have a great variation of exercise during the day. Even school work, with the child sitting for several hours a day.in one position, may re- sult in certain physical handicaps, Such as crooked spines or one should- er higher than ‘the other. The chest is often cramped, making the child susceptible to tuberculosis. This tendency must be overcome by defi- nite periods of regular exercise, which fortunately is now. compulsory in most schools. When for some reason it is necessary that a.child work, care and watchfulness should be used to see that the child is not strained, and there should be sufficient change in occupation and recreation to balance the task. Once the body has become deformed, it is practically impossible to overcome the harm done. The bones are not readily changed once they have become set.

As tHe he was sickly, but ex- iy > from the Univesrity .of Tubingen. Though he knew little of the subject, Kepler was unwillingly made to ac- cept the class-in astronomy at Graz in 1594. Forced into this branch of Jearn- ing, he made the best of it. He be- came imperial mathematical and astrologer and made the acquaintance of such scientists as Galileo and Kepler’s chief title to fame is his discovery of the three laws of plane- tary motion. Other important fea- tures of his work were in regard to’ Gravitation and the explanation of tides by lunar attraction.

D. writes: “I woula appreciate any suggestions or diet or treatment in a case of chronic tor- ticollis of long standing.” Answer: The treatment I have found most satisfactory for this con- dition is the use of a short orange juice fast. at intervals of about a month apart. Hot applications to the neck, or treatments with the deep therapy lamp or diathermy are also helpful. Osteopathic or chiropractic treatments along with the fasting and dieting regimen will also tend to has- ten a cure, Buttermilk Question: A. G. asks: “Would buttermilk be good in the case of in- flammation of the gall bladder?” Answer: An exclusive diet of but- termilk is sometimes effective in gall bladder disorders. About three quarts a day should be taken. The Cardoon Question: Mrs, B. asks: “What kind of a vegetable is a cardoon? Are there any special methods of growing or preparing it?” Answer: The cardoon is a plant Closely related to the French arti- choke, and is considered by many authorities to be the same plant slightly changed through the process of selection and cultivation. The plant is first blanched either in the field or under glass-covered pots. The midrib of the leaf is the part used. They may be cooked and served like any ordinary vegetable or used in salads. It has an agreeable flavor of its own.. The most valuable of these plants are those with the thick- est midribs. | Prunes Question: . Mrs. H.
