CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON i Petitioning the Petitioners Jamestown business men have come out flatly against the capitol removal project launched last January fol- lowing the destruction of the state house at Bismarck. There is no hedging, no political tinge to their request but a vigorous and emphatic demand upon the members of | the petitioners’ committee to withdraw the petition { initiating a constitutional amendment to change the seat of government from this city to Jamestown. : The signers of the petition are to be congratulated for | their action. Practically every businessman, many pro- fessional men and in fact persons from all walks of life in today’s issue. This petition caps the climax and places Jamestown } almost soljdly against a movement started by a few enthusiasts who, for the moment, were carried away by what seemed to them a way to promote their com- munity. Time and the second sober thought, so salutary 5 in civic affairs, have convinced the great majority of Jamestown citizens that the movement is doomed to defeat and, if the agitation continues, great and irrepara- + ble damage will be done to the thriving city of Jamestown with which Bismarck in the past has enjoyed the most cordial social and business relations. If this petition is successful in having the matter with- drawn, Jamestown will resume her old place in the esteem of her many friends and neighbors. It is the first definite public action taken by the busi- ness men of that city to demonstrate to the rest of the state that there is no demand for capital removal from any responsible forces within Jamestown. Unfortunate delay in taking the action made public today put the whole city under suspicion and, if persisted in, would have added to the attitude of coolness and distrust which are represented in the list which The Tribune publishes | President Hoover has added an important chapter to the history of the Pan-American Union by his recent Proclamation designating April 14 as Pan-American Day. is the first time the occasion will be officially celebrated. The rapid development of this Union in recent years runs parallel with the achievements of science in the annihilation of time and distance. We no longer reckon distance by miles, but by minutes. We can reach any South American state in a few moments by cable, in a few hours by airplane, and in less than a week by rail and water. Our commercial relitions with Latin America have) been vastly improved and diplomacy in both Americas has set itself the task of overcoming the spirit of hatred and distrust which has been handed down through sev- eral generations of political bungling on both sides. The governing board of the Pan-American Union consists of diplomatic representatives from the 24 coun- tries that have joined, and the secretary of state of the| United States, who presides as chairman. The avowed purpose of the organization is to deyelop commerce and trade, social intercourse and good understanding, and to foster friendship and peace. ‘The governments included in the Union are the fol- lowing: . { Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, ! Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, France, The organization was established 30 years ago but this! Great Britain, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Mexico, Netherlands, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, El; Salvador, United States, Uruguay and Venezuela. H Visitors to Washington should not fail to see the ad-| ministration building of the Pan-American Union, which; has been described by a French architect as “combining! beauty of architecture, nobility of expression and prac-| tical usefulness more than any other official structure in| America.” It has sometimes been described as the/| capitol of the western hemisphere in the capital of the} United States, | i In order that authentic information may be spread! concerning these countries, and to make them better acquainted with each other, bulletins and pamphlets are being regularly printed in English, Spanish, Portuguese and Freneh. More than a million such pamphlets heve been distributed each year to persons who have written; for information. The commerce between the United States and the Latin-American countries amounted to, about $500,000,000 in 1907, but has nearly quadrupled since that time. A recent letter written to the Pan-American Union by Carlos G. Davila, the Chilean ambassador, indicates) that the “era of better feeling” between these countries} and the United States is well on the way. The letter) follows: “The notable development of the political and economic bonds between the United States and the Latin Republics of America constitute onc of the most outstanding pages of the interna- tional life of our times. But what most surprises the something more than superficial observer is how these relations between governments, which have agreed upon an almost perfect pact of conciliation and arbitration, and the ties of com- mercial interests, which are now as vital to our countries as to the United States, grew and were strengthened in the midst of an incomprehen- | sible spiritual and cultural chasm, of an almost | total mutual lack of knowledge of our noblest activities. From this springs the first task of was directed against Jamestown. It is fervently to be hoped, for Jamestown's sake and | that of the entire state, that the sponsors of the peti- tions on file with the secretary of state will withdraw them. Speaking of Power At the present time practically every American com- munity with 1,000 or more population has electric serv- ice, as have 50 per cent of all villages of between 250 and 1,000. In 1907 the total number of customers of the electric industry totaled less than 2,000,000; now there are 20,-| 000,000 domestic consumers alone and 70 per cent of/ people live in electrically served homes. There are over 200 household electric labor-saving de- vices, each performing a different service. In 1902 an average of six pounds of fuel was needed to Produce one kilowatt-hour of electricity; in 1929 the ‘average was about 1.70 pounds. In some new plants con- sumption is now less than one pound per kilowatt-houyr. In industry, electricity has revolutionized the earning Power and living conditions of the worker. Great strides are being made in railway electrification, and 650,000 farms have been electrified in the past ten years. In 1902 the lght and power industry had an invest- ment in plant and equipment of about $504,000,000. That investment is now estimated to be $11,850,000,000, By 1940 it is said that this must be increased by $11,500,-| 000,000. Electric rates have declined 30 per cent since 1913,) ‘and now half of the individual users of electricity receive service for an average cost of 12 cents each a day, and the other half for five cents. Mental Tests for Motorists m The Connecticut Yankees have devised a mental test for motorists and put it into their state law code. This may prove to be just another “wooden nutmeg,” but the experiment is well worth watching. The Connecti- 1 1 . fn i « « 2RROsdm Core muMMH RAR PHeesee PASEme ey cut test includes 100 questions that were drafted with 7 the help of Yale university. Following are a few samples a of the questions asked: “What in your opinion is a reasonable aver- age speed for driving under the following condi- « tions: (1) In open country when traffic is light? (2) In open country when traffic is heavy? (3) In city streets during business hours? (4) In city streets outside of business hours? (5) Going around a blind corner? (6) Passing @- country school when there are children play- ing? (7) Crossing a road intersection in open country? (8) Driving down a long steep wind- ing hill in the country? (9) Driving on a slip- pery pavement?” The driver will be asked why he should drive slowly through a busy intersection. If he answers, “Because it’s the law,” or “Because a cop may be watching,” he will be spotted as a poor hand at reasoning things out for himself, but if he answers that such intersections are dangerous, it will be one score toward proving that he has a working mind. - ‘City Civilization’ A prominent preacher has made this startling declara- —... ton: “No, purely city civilization has yet aurvived in his- i‘ tory.” If that statement can be even partly proved by the records of history, America with her growing and ‘ those who believe in the possibility and conveni- ence of a consistent solidarity between the na- tions of this hemisphere. The work in this direc- tion being accomplished by the Geographic and Historical society of the Americas and the Pan- | American Magazine calls for all my sympathy and for their directors my sincerest congratula- tions.” Editorial Comment Editorials printed, below by other editors, The: to whether they ag f show the trend of thought re pi ard ‘Tib= without rej a with The No Grievance Against Jamestown (Grand Forks Herald) There is no occasion for the people of the state at large to hold any grievance against the city of James- town or its people in general because of the unwise move- ment for capital removal which originated in that city. No matter from what fertile brain it sprang the scheme was sprung suddenly, and doubtless it took many of the{ Jamestown people by surprise. Civic loyalty would impel many to sign the petitions when the subject was plausi- bly presented, and the general recklessness of people in signing petitions would account for many others. Lieut- enant Governor Carr says that there are many James- town people who do not approve of the movement, and he is familiar with local conditions. Even without his statement. persons who have acquaintances in James- town have been aware that many of the substantial resi- dents of Jamestown have disapproved of the effort that has been made. upon & whole community the resentment which attaches, to the ill-considered course of a few individuals. As to the political motives which may have inspired this movement and the local political antagonisms which Mr. Carr says exist, those’ may be ‘left for the Jamestown people to settle for themselves. The state need not feel any lively interest in them. Just now the Jamestown people who are really concernéd for the reputation of their city, and who wish to minimize the injury which has undoubtedly been wrought-by some of their neigh- bors, can do no more useful thing than bring all their influence to bear to bring about the withdrawal of the removal petitions, which never should have been filed. Burke Awarded to Michigan (Washington Star) Fred Burke, the most wanted man in America, has been awarded by the state of Missouri to the state of Michigan and transported to the latter for trial for murder. From the moment of his capture in a little Missouri hamlet claims for this desperado began to pour in upon the authorities of that state. Within the first dozen hours no leas than eight had expressed a willing- ness, even an anxiety, each to take him over for trial for some atrocious crime committed there. Before thé matter was settled by decision by the governor of Mis- souri in favor of Michigan no less than 18 jurisdictions had found recotds of offenses believed to have been com- mitted by Burke. This remarkabe situation developed into a veritable hearing before the governor of most of the cases against Burke. Evidence was sketched or indicated by represent+ atives of the rival claimants for the person of the fugi- tive. Finally the governor decided that Michigan had seemingly the strongest case against Burke, on the charge of the murder of a policeman at the city of St. Joseph, and signed the extradition .in favor of that indicated. The award to Michigan was made notwith- standing, and yesterday Burke was whisked to that state in sn armored motor car, heavily guarded to pre- vent either rescue or slaying in revenge. The award of this criminal to Michigan assures that if he is convicted there of the murder.charged against him he will not suffer the death penalty, Michigan's punishment for any form of crime being im- for ife.

At times of freshets, the lakes expand into a water body covering |: | QUT OUR WAY : By Williams Fi HOW | BACK, HERE ? | approximately 50,000 acres. Water from the irrigating ditches of the Im- pertal Valley keep the level of the lake fairly constant, and, unless this is diverted, it will continue to main- tain its previous area despite heavy losses from evaporation. Terraces slightly above sea level on the sides of the basin indicate that there was formerly present a lake called “Lake Cahuilla” which was 12 miles long and 30 miles wide. Q.

Today Is the ~ ‘Anniversary of J E. E. HALE’S BIRTH On April 3, 1822, Edward Everett Hale, famous American author, phi- lanthropist and Unitarian clergyman, was born in Boston, Mass. He graduated from Harvard at the age of 17 and then studied for the ministry. In 1856 he..became pastor of the South Congregational church of Boston and took an active interest in all the philanthropic movements of his city and time. In 1901 he be- came. pastor emeritus of the church and two years later was appointed chaplain o: the United States senate. Although he wrote prolifically, Hale is best. remembered for that classic of patriotic fiction, “The. Man Without a Country.” His most influential book is “Ten Times One Is Ten.” This book led to the formation of Lend-a- Hand clubs, King’s. Daughters and many similar charitable organizations. He died in 1909, at the age of 87,8 year after he had been elected a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters. 9 he. 4 HEALTH © DIET WILL BE IN REGARD TO OT EARE OF GRPICCOY WHO CAN BE EMCO 1908 PCY HEALTH DADILY MENUS Dr. McCoy’s menus suggested for the week peste Sunday, April 5th.

QUESTIONS cae ANSWERS Syst Question: L, B. asks: What can be done to get rid of a cyst (the hard kind) in front of the right ear very near the facial nerve. Have been ad- vised to have operation, but no—” Answer: An operation of this kind is usually a simple matter with no danger attendant upon it. A hard cyst in that location would be diffi- cult to get rid of through any other method except perhaps a long series of expensive electrical treatments. Cysts in this location are so close to the skin that the removal is quite simple. Vegetable Juices Question: J. C. writes: “Please state your experience with vegetable juices instead of fruit juices to use during a fast.” Answer: I have found no advan- tage in using vegetable juice during the fast. ~ speak from experience, having tried this method many times on different kinds of cases, At the present time I consider tomato Juice generally the best to use for a fast, but the tomato is a fruit and not a vegetable as many suppose. Gargling Question: R. F. asks: “Does salt water injure the membranes of the head if gargled for catarrh and will it injure the hearing in any way or cause the salt to adhere to the inside of the ears?” Answer: Catarrh cannot be cured by the gargling treatment, and there is always danger of forcing some of the solution into the eustachian tube or even farther up into the ear. changed stations with radio an- nouncers. see It may be interesting to Henry Ford, who recently suggested that school children be paid for going to school, to learn that Jackie Coogan has had his salary raised to $7500.
