CHICAGO NEW YORE BOSTON Danger in a Stampede {t is always impolite to look @ gift horse in the mouth but everyone has the constitutional right to look at the, horse to determine if it really is a gift. A case in point is the recent statement of John W. Carr, lieutenant governor of the state and Jamestown’s, most prominent citizen, urging abandonment of the capi- tal removal effort by his home city. : The Tribune, along with the rest of Bismarck, ap- plauded the statement in so far as it deserved applause. It did not, however, toss its editorial hat wildly in the air or heap upon the head of the lieutenant governor un- restrained iaudations. It doubted the advisability of do- ing so in view of the situation which Bismarck faces and must continue to face unless sanity is restored to the Jamestown capital removal proponents. It has been obvious from the first that it was to Bis- marck’s advantage to keep the capital removal question out of partisan politics. When an attempt was made to make a partisan issue of the matter in the legislature, this newspaper discouraged the idea. The first effort ‘was made by L. L. Twichell, house majority leader and dictator of one of North Dakotae’s political factions, It failed. ‘The next attempt, primarily designed as retribution for the Twichell effort, was made by Twichell’s political op- ponents, It also failed. If the legislature did nothing else, it demonstrated that it sought fair play and a square deal on the question. In view of his three months of silence, Mr. Carr's statement at this time may fairly be interpreted as one designed to protect his own interests in the event that he again becomes a candidate for a state office. In ef- fect, it was merely recognition by Mr. Carr and his friends of the essential unpopularity of the Jamestown attempt to steal the capital. His political friends in Bismarck have seized upon the Carr statement as an opportunity to make Mr. Carr appear as @ potential savior for Bismarck in its hour of trouble. That he can fully meet the requirements for @ Messiah in this case seems doubtful, in view of the ap- parent and continued unwillingness of the capital re-" moval proponents to withdraw the petitions ‘now on file with the secretary of state. After all, that is the-essential thing. Until they are withdrawn, the matter still is an issue. And until they are withdrawn it seems inadvisable for Bismarck to per- mit anyone, regardless of party or faction, to attempt to make political capital of this situation. For thet rea- son, it seems wise to withhold applause until definite and tangible results have been achieved. When that. fortuitous event comes to pass, applause will be in order and all who have had a hand in it will be entitled to their share. Analysis of the record discloses some items which Bis- ‘THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1, 1981 : ty to the group, a keen sense of moral obligation to one’s fellowmen, and unbreakable courage. Campbell’s seven keys to cooperation have already un- locked many doors leading to business and professional success, Their application to the agricultural treasure house has been tried in a small way with good results. In fact, it has been proved that the farmers can become just as proficient in the use of these keys as are the business and professional classes, after they learn the im- portance and’ careful use of each key. ‘ There may be some difference of opinion as to which of the seven is the master key, but we venture the opinion that it is the one labeled “Faith.” The Duties of Government One hundred and one years ago, writing in the Edin- burgh Review for January, 1830, Thomas Macauley said: “Our rulers will best promote the improvement of the + 2.00] people by strictly confining themselves to their own legitimate dutles—by leaving capital to find its most lucrative course, commodities their fair price, industry and intelligence their natural reward, idleness and folly their natural punishment—by maintaining peace, by defending property, by diminishing the price of law, and by observing strict economy in every department of the state. “Let the government do this—the people will assuredly do the rest.” 5 Macauley’s injunction is as true and apt today as when it was written, Modern officeholders would do well to reflect on the words of a man who lived a cen- tury ago and observed government with an insight that is all too rare today. The Pen as a Weapon ‘The sword was invented many centuries before the pen and from its embattled blade has flowed mightier rivers of blood than ever ink flowed from the pen eilently working in the cloistered retreats of learning; yet it has been asserted without contradiction that the pen is the mightier of the two weapons. e ‘Vast improvements have been made in both of these weapons, speaking in a general way. The sword has been supplemented by explosive shells, steel-clad dread- naughts and aerial armadas. The quill has been replaced) by steel pens, fountain pens, writing machines and robot transmission of writing by telegraph, to which may be added the gigantic printing presses which make Americans the most informed people in the world. In whatever form it may appear, the pen still remains master of the field; and the most common of its multiplicity of types is the fountain pen, which is a comparatively recent invention. The first fountain pen appeared about 1885, but did, not become a practical and reliable instrument of writ- ing until 1902, when the first self-filling pen made its appearance. One of the fountain pen manufacturers makes the boast that his pens dre now sold in the Uni- ted States and 150 foreign countries, and are carried in the pockets of 26,000,000 people throughout the world. The pen, compared with the sword, is truly an am- bassador of peace. It is also an emblem of enlighten- ment, education and conciliation, and as such deserves, to stand first as a pacifier and harmonizer throughout the world.

No Stabilization in 1931 (Northwest Grain News) Announcement by the federal farm board that no at- tempt will be made to stabilize the price of the 1931 crop. through the buying of cash grain or future contracts: in the open market comes as no surprise to every think- ing person who certainly must agree that such artificial support of a market cannot be continued indefinitely. Stabilization operations were adopted purely as an emergency measure to meet a@ situation brought about by world-wide depression and overproduction. The farm board repeatedly stated that this stabilization was only. @ temporary measure adopted to meet an abnormal situa- tion but because of the spectacular nature of the project, attention was centered on it to such a degree that in the minds of many, these stabilization operations became) the farm board's plan for agricultural relief. In short what was designed to be a minor part of the plan came by force of unusual circumstance to command the center, of the stage. marck residents should consider before giving enthusias- tic endorsement to any political officeholder, or faction, ‘on the strength of his attitude toward the capital re- moval question alone, When Mr. Carr, on January 23, made a statement to the Jamestown capital removal: committee in a telegram sent from Bismarck, he be- gan a personal record on the question which should be considered by Bismarck folk as they read his most recent declaration. In that message Mr. Carr said: “I am informed that since I three weeks ago that some of ponents have industriously ax he B 3 That the lieutenant governor has changed ition | since that time is a tribute to the essential strength of Bismarck’s position before the rest of the state. When the two statements are taken together it would seem clear the change are obvious to everyone. Had Mr, Carr and other responsible citizens of James- town found the courage, at the beginning of this unfair: and ill-advised movement, to condemn it for what it 1s, the situation today would be vastly different. In that event the snake would have been killed at the beginning instead of merely scorched at this late day—and there probably would be no petitions on file with the secretary ‘of state to move the capital to Jamestown. To everyone who has supported Bismarck’s honest and forthright stand on this question, residents of the city should be grateful. Now that Mr. Carr has joined the fold, we take pleasure in welooming him, just as we would welcome any other North Dekote citizen to the side of right and justice. But we have reason to be more grateful to those who found the courage to express themselves at the beginning than to those who find such courage at the eleventh hour. 2 ‘There is danger to Bismarck’s interests in applauding, - the Carr statement too loudly.

But in spite of these beneficial effects, we have always felt it to be unfortunate that circumstances demanded that money allotted by congress to the federal farm board should be used in these stabilization operations from which no, permanent relief to agriculture could be expected.

One of the dishes especial- ly delighted the wife of the guest of honor, and she asked Li what it was. Prince Li called in his chef, and the chef replied in Chinese, “It is a crea- tion of my own—a chop suey.” The words “chop suey” mean a mixture or hash.

Today Is the Anniversary of BISMARCK’S BIRTH On Aprii 1, 1815, Karl Otto Eduard Leopold von Bi -Schonhausen, German statesman and the creator of German unity, was born at Schon- haugen. After university training and army , Bismarck began his dip- aes in 1851, when he was appoint Bruasign member of the Germanic Diet at Frankfort. There he showed the zeal for the interests of Prussia that guided him thereaft- er. He was the guiding spirit in the reorganization of Germany under the leadership of Prussia and he logi- cally became chancellor in 1867. Dur- ing the Franco-Prussian War, which he helped bring on by falsifying a telegram, Bismarck was esman for Germany. He dictated terms of peace to France which included the cession of Alsace and Lorraine to eal e sole aim of.

In the abdomen it is possible to find cases where there are hernias of such organs aS stomach, kidney, ovary, bladder and omentum, as well as the intestines. In fact, the liver and pancreas, because of their shayte and anatomical positions, are about the only abdominal organs which aite not likely to develop a hernia. ‘The organ usually carries witta it sack of the peritoneum or membran- ous lining of the abdominal cavity. ‘The intestines are by far the .most common organ present in a hes‘nia, and the usual place is the ingvbinal canal at the lower part of the srain on each side through which the :sper- matic cord passes.
