CHICAGO NEW YORE BOSTON In Fairness to All Statements denying any intention or disposition to trade on the capitol bill made by members of the Stuts- man county delegation in the House are published in full in another column of this newspaper. Rumors have been current for several days regarding trades, deals and combines and The Tribune, in report- ing the legislature, published these reports as a matter of news. It was the publication of this legislative tid- bit which aroused the ire of the Stutsman county dele- gation and brought from them a prompt denial. The Tribune is as anxious to get their position before the people as it was to print the rumor that was afloat and which an alert news reporter decided was news and came well within the constitutional rights and privileges of a free and unmuzzled press. ‘These flare-ups are incidents of legislative action. News- paper statements are frequently challenged, and out of the agitation comes the final truth. ‘The members of the Jamestown delegation declare they were in no deal or combine. League members declare that the Stutsman county delegation made no advances to them for trades and deals. Representative Cox asserts there was no dealing or trading in-so-far as he knows on the part of the Stuteman county delegation. i ‘That settles it. The Tribune is more than glad to give the denials of the Stutsman county representatives even more prominence than the reporting of the ru- ‘mors, challenged yesterday on the floor of the House. For days the press of the state has carried news of rumors of trades and bargains and if none is made, dis- cussed or suggested at this session, then a legislative millenium is at hand and there is really a Santa Claus. Cabbages and Kings {n Carroll's inimitable story, “Alice in Wonderland,” the walrus ponderously turns to the carpenter and opines: ‘The time has come to talk of many things,” and then there is a quaint reference to cabbages and kings. Of course, in Wonderland, cabbages and kings were not to be mentioned in the same breath, and the walrus committed a grave social error in connecting them 60, rudely, so ruthlessly as it were. ‘The Capital Removal fight has reached the walrus stage. It is time to talk of many things and most of them have no more relation to the case in point than have cabbages or kings. But the arguments advanced by Jamestown are so specious, so mendacious and so silly that if not answered they might be believed and truth might be confused, just as were the cabbages wi'h the kings. Some Jamestown enthusiasts have pictured for their citizens a “Wonderland.” On paper, at least, the new capitol has been located on the banks of the James river. Hopes of new wealth, trade and prestige have been whipped to a white heat of ambition and enterprise. Many in Jamestown who see the futility of the fight which has been brought in the name of their city, must shake their heads in silence. To raise a voice of pro- test in the super-heated atmosphere which has inflated this bubble is to be denounced as traitors and classed with cabbages rather than kings and loyal sons of ‘Stutsman. Upon what is Jamestown basing its chief argument? The spokesman evidently is P. M. Hansen, secretary of the movement, who interviews himself regularly, habitually. He is the “Percy in Wonderland” of the movement. Nonchalantly, he challenges the state to a| $500,000 special election contest to save someone a penny or so in railroad fare or gasoline bill when called to Bis- marck. Of course, he forgets that it might cost some people in some sections of the state more to reach Jamestown than Bismarck. But Percy overlooks that. He figures that over a period of years enough will be saved in oil, gas and railroad mileage to build a capitol and finance the state probably for the first ten years at least, if Jamestown is the capital. Granted his figures are correct—as correct at least as the state- ments of the walrus and the carpenter—Percy estimates that every other inhabitant of North Dakota must take. at least four or five, maybe ten trips a month to Bis- marek. Percy weeps for the voters of the state who must psy more to reach Bismarck than Jamestown. He weeps! d for those who will be denied their “constitutional rights” unless the matter comes to s vote. The saving in travel expense to Jamestown as against Bismarck, justifies, to| py Percy, the abandonment of several millions of state and Rt SALES AE ET LEN ELIE LOTS AGE: : S THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1931 cleaner and more comfortable than the native jungle shacks—but somehow they weren't so homelike, So the natives simply quit work; and now it is even intimated that Mr. Ford may have to give up his entire scheme for a great Brazilian rubber plantation. All of this is very unfortunate, and Mr. Ford deserves @ lot of sympathy. Nevertheless, it is hard to keep from having @ sneaking little fellow-feeling. for these half- wild Brazilians who refuse so stubbornly to become civilized. For while life in the Brazilian jungle is not much better than out-and-out barbarism, it has a good deal to recommend it—just as life in the industrial sec- tion of any big American city has plenty of drawbacks. For progress, as we understand the term, sometimes brings with it disadvantages that ‘come close to counter- balancing its good points. The chap in the Brazilian wild may not have the advantage of a radio set in his hut, but neither does he know the rigors of technological unemployment. He may not have a dime in the bank, but the cornet-player next door does not spoil his sleep at night. He may not have a good doctor within a thou- sand miles, but he is in no danger of seeing his children run down by automobiles when they go out to play. ‘We always take it for granted that the advantages of the industrial regime outweigh its defects. But in the jungles of the Amazon, apparently, the contrary view is held; and it is very probable that the growing industrial- | ization of the world will bump into this sort of resistance more than once in the negr future. @ good thing for us; for it may set us to asking questions | ourselves, and so lead us to remove a few of the im-/ perfections from a system that is very far from perfect.

Apparently only good luck prevented a similar tragedy. The other night J, W. Grotberg, a North Dakota man, accompanied by his wife and baby was driving through Sherburne county on his way home from a visit in this state. Suddenly two men confronted his car in the road and, flashing lights, ordered him to stop, shouting they were deputy sheriffs. Fearing a hold-up, Grotberg put on speed and raced for the next town. The men in another car followed and fired several shots, two of them hitting the car, but Grotberg managed to reach town before his pursuers caught up with him. They then searched his car without finding anything and re- leased him. ‘When the man protested against the treatment re- ceived and demanded to know who would pay for the damage the bullets did to his car, the officers are re- ported to have said: “You're out of luck; we’re deputy sheriffs.” ‘ Probably he is out of luck, but it is a contemptible and unnecessary method of law enforcement. A man driving a car on a lonely road at night has a right to suspect a criminal intent when strangers without uni- forms demand that he stop. The sheriff of Sherburne county should instruct his deputies that a policeman’s star does not confer the right to such careless and dangerous use of firearms on the bare suspicion that an unknown traveler is a criminal, Congress Should Stand Pat (Fargo Forum) K Notwithstanding we regret that North Dakota is to lose one congressman’ asia result of the reapportionment of the House of Representatives as based on the 1930 census, we do:not find outselves in accord with the proposals being made in:Congress to alter the situation. One of these proposals is the attempt being made to persuade Congress to submit to the states an amend- ment to the Constitution eliminating aliens from the basis of representation, and the other is the Thurston bill for increasing the membership by forty. iM In relation to the first proposal, we do not believe the exclusion of aliens in consideration ‘of the basis of representation would be sound procedure for the very reason that they are taxed and have interests which are entitled to representation in the enactment of laws. Even in discussing the matter, Congress is taking up good time in fanning the air, for there is not a chance that it would go through. If Congress should be im- portuned to submit such an amendment, it is certain there would be enough states opposed to defeat it. As to the Thurston bill, it will be recalled when: the last reapportionment was made, it was generally agreed that a House of 435 members was as large as the country ought to have. In 1920, Congress avoided re- apportionment because states which stood to lose repre- sentation objected, and it was again agreed that it would not be wise to increase the membership. But reapportionment, under the Constitution, had to come,/ and is now to be made. The agreement of twenty years ago that the member- ship of the House was as large as it should be is just as pertinent today as then. If the bars should be let down and membership increased, it would not be many years before additional demands for increased member- ship would be made. The best thing for Congress to do is to stand pat on the reapportionment as ordered. The Philadelphia Public Ledger, published in a state which will also lose representation under the reappor- tionment, hits the nail squarely on the head when it says: “No state has just cause for complaint, since under the new redistribution its representation will be proportioned to its actual population.” A Job-Saving Measure (Minneapolis Tribune) The bill introduced by Representative Thurston of Towa which would increase the membership of the lower house of congress by 40 members is purely and simply a job-saving measure. By its passage certain states which are destined to forfeit one or more representatives under the present plan of reapportionment would be spared that loss. Minnesota, for example, would retain its ten repre- sentatives instead of going on a nine-member is; and Iowa, which is destined to lose two representatives in the new deal, would continue as at present with 11. The bill, instead of taking away representation from the losing states,,would merely create additional repre- sentation for those entitled, by population growth, to larger delegations. It is fay. surprising that an Iowan should: intro- luce this bill in congress, or that Minnegota’s repre- sentatives should be reported lining up ind it, fact is that it is certain to find support-among the representatives of all those states adversely affected Teapportionment, and for the simple reason no representative cares to contemplate the possibility of his job being reapportioned out of existence. Hon- esty should compel supporters of the bill to admit, how- ever, that it is designed primarily for their own pro- tion, and not to confer any great benefit upon @ legislative body already far too cumbersome and un- wieldy for its own good, or for the good of the nation as nee: ora " louse at present numl 435 members, and un- less efficiency is in some mysterious way related to sheer bulk, it is difficult to see what would be gained the addition of 40 more representatives.

The ize of the , is already too Tribune sympa- | thizes with those representatives whose jobs are im- perilled by reapportionment.

Please give a biography of Chavez, the aviator who attempted to fly across the Alps. D.C. 8. A. Georges Chavez was born in Paris in 1887, of Peruvian parentage. He first attracted attention when he raised the British altitude record to 5750 feet. while flying at Blackpool, England, August 3, 1910. On the of September, 1910, he set out to fly across the Alps in a Bleriot mono- plane. Prizes had been offered by the Milan Aviation committee for a flight from Brigue, Switzerland, over | reverse the Simplon Pass to Milan, a distance of 94 miles with a minimum height “TH PronesS A FUNNY THING Tr!

He descended, numbed with cold, and smashed his machine on landing, breaking both his legs and sustaining other injuries. He died in a hospital on the 27th of September. It was said at the time that the wings of his machine col- lapsed when it was about 30 feet from the ground, Spe eee Today Is the ‘Anniversary of THE BALTIMORE FIRE On Feb. 7, 1904, a fire wiped out the business center of Baltimore, Md., erin @ loss estimated at $125,- The fire burned 30 hours and spread over territory bounded by Fayette, Charles, Baltimore, Liberty and Lombard streets, the water front and Jones’ Falls.

Bronchitis precedes this type of Pneumonia, but rarely comes before lobar pneumonia. In Jobar pneumonia the onset is very sudden, coming first with a chill which may last half an hour, follow- ed by a high fever, rapid breathing, headache, pain over the side of the chest, and a distressing, painful cough. At first the cough is dry, but later pus-like material is raised. ‘Three-fourths of the cases have a characteristic pain which becomes worse a8 patient tries to take a deep breath.

No highly starchy food or protein food should be used until the fever has entirely disappeared. The bowels must be kept clean with two or three enemas daily, and warm sponge baths should be used every hour during the day and night. Plenty of fresh air should be allowed to circulate about the bed. Keep the windows partly open, and warm the air with an electric heater, steam heat, or a fire which discharges its fumes through a flue. Do not use a7. open gas fire to produce the heat. The patient should be kept between pure woolen blankets to conserve the body's heat. This treatment will be found very effective in lessening the danger of pneumonia. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Gall Bladder Trouble Question: G. D. asks: “What is the cause of gall bladder trouble, and what foods should one avoid?” Answer: Theré are many forms of gall bladder trouble, but outside of those caused by’ injuries the causes of all gall bladder troubles come from the intestines. Sluggishness of bowel elimination is undoubtedly the under- lying cause of all such troubles. A fasting diet should be used at first, and then for a long time all foods ofa high caloric value should be avoided and the patient use plenty of bulky green vegetables to insure good bowel elimination. Grapefruit and Milk Question: Mrs. W. C. B. asks: “Is a grapefruit and a. pint of milk good for a steady breakfast diet?” Answer: Grapefruit combines well with milk. This combination may be used in place of any other meal in the day. Talking in Sleep ,, Question’ ©. 8, writes: “I have a habit of talking in my sleep. They say I talk quite clearly and sensibly. T do not cat before going to bed and it does not take long to get to sleep. Perhaps it is because I like to walk ulone and think, while I hold imagin- ary conversations with myself. Is there anything I can do to overcome this sleep-talking?” Answer: Such troubles are usually caused by the use of wrong food com- binations at the evening meal. With most people, the food they have eaten for dinner does not completely leave the stomach until two or three o'clock’ in the morning.
