(Official City, State and County Newspaper) For Representatives SN OPENCER, LEVINGS & BREWER ‘ (Incorporated) (CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Our Biennial Party North Dakota’s campaigns are sel- dom dull. Ever since the Sarles- Burke embroglio, there has been little (that is regular about our politics. The {campaign of 1932 promises to be as ‘interesting and as complicated as ‘any. ' The storming of the Democratic primaries at the recent presidential ‘preference election knocked the pins ‘from under the political diagnos- ticians. Now the most astute of them admits anything can happen. Out of the process may come a restoration of party rule in this state. ‘The very nature of the American form of government depends for its ef- ficiency and responsiveness upon ac- | tion of parties. There have been | times when burning issues brought about fusions, but that emergency has passed. As far as state issues go, the con- test of late has been largely a battle of the-“ins” versus the “outs.” The voters have gone into both the I. V. A. ‘and Nonpartisan League groups and picked their favorites for office. ‘The machine politicians, headed by the Twichell ring of bi-partisans, have in the past more or less effec- tively waved the red flag in the cap-| italistic centers of North Dakota and of Minnesota. They have used the bugaboo of socialism and radicalism to coax campaign funds from the eastern business interests. This plea for funds probably will} be repeated but with the usual fervor | caused by depleted political coffers and | there may be some embarrassing -questions asked by the “big shots”; ‘when the cry comes for cash to save! North Dakota from the reds. A very logical question and most pertinent to the occasion would be: “In four Years of power what has the Shafer! @dministration done to eliminate this! ‘ugly menace of state socialism?” { With years of dominance of the State industrial commission; with one or two legislatures within their con- | trol and complete sway over the fis- cal policies of the state for years, the ‘Twichell machine cannot point to any constructive thing done to abate what they are always calling the “red menace” in North Dakota. j Of course those who live here and fre near enough to the situation can + gee the humor and political hypocrisy 4n the LV.A. position. North Dakota ‘voters generally appreciate the fact that the biennial struggle is one solely for political patronage and power. Policies and principles do not it for much. It is the simple, fish contest of the “ins” versus the Fouts.” ; * ee * But there are fresh complications fn the political camps. Usher Burdick of Fargo, assistant United States dis- trict attorney, an old time insurgent ‘and once a wheel horse in the clique of which Treadwell Twichell, brother ‘of the present political boss, was a @ominating force, is out for Congress on @ wet platform. Mr. Burdick has ‘been prominent in North Dakota pol- tics for years and has been honored Beveral times by the electorate of the state. He once opposed Lynn J. Wrazier {for gubernatorial honors. Bince the advent of the Nonpartisan ‘League and the I. V. A. organization, ‘Mr. Buydick has not been very active ‘politically. His entrance now, en- idorsed by the Progressives, should put jest into the Congressional campaign. hive not endorsed his wet proclivities ad whether his frank statement on liquor issue will cause them to h or be offended remains to be ‘As 1. J. Moe of Valley City has not ry, He may be expected to highway matters which fled to discuss. zs 2 2 holds chief interest in the minds of the politicians, as they meet in their various conventions to de- velop candidates and issues, is the great Democratic vote. Like Banquo's ghost, it will not down. If many Re- publicans desert the June primaries and call for Democratic ballots, what {s going to happen to candidates who file as Republicans? In the past the party label has not meant very much in this state except as a stepping stone to office. Now the party label seems to be losing in value and the candidates are deliberating in what jeamp it would be best to land. | Not so long ago, William Lemke of Fargo, League candidate for Con- gress, suggested that all Nonpartisans file as Democrats. It is not too late for them to do that now. Maybe the 80,000 votes will revive Mr. Lemke's unusual if not illogical suggestion. When Townley organized the Non- Partisan League he used the Repub- lican party as the vehicle to storm the citadels of power and patronage. He filed only one candidate as a Dem- ocrat and that was Casey for state treasurer. The embattled farmers, much as they wanted Casey, could not shift over to the Democratic col- umn in the November elections and Casey was the only one who fell by the wayside. Even though the jour- nals of the militant Townley issued warnings such as “Don’t Forget Casey,” the Republican habit was toa, great and Casey lost office, even though he remained loyal to his party. xe * The speculation now is: Will farm- ers stay ‘in the June Republican primaries or wash their hands of that party and go Democratic? There are @ lot of clever politicians in North Dakota trying to answer that ques- tion. ‘There is this much to say about the whole chaotic condition. Regardless of Lemke's advice sometime ago, it seems certain that the two contend- ing political factions, the I, V. A. and the Nonpartisan League will choose | to run as Republicans. Senator Nye will oppose Shafer probably, unless someone upsets the apple cart at Valley City next month. Burdick, Burtness, Hall, Lemke and Sinclair will be opposing congression- al candidates. Burtness, Hall and Sinclair united with the dry con- gressmen in the recent test vote. Bur- dick has declared wet and Lemke has not gone on record as yet, but as the campaign proceeds he may have to take a definite stand. * He # The voters generally are going to be interested most in national issues in the June primaries. These will be paramount in selecting a United States senator and two congressmen. State issues will be more or less ob-; secured by national ones. Definite positions must be taken on many perplexing national issues. The voters are in no mood to stand hedging and dodging. They are go-j| ing to smoke out the candidates and try at least to see if they square up with the demands of the present crisis. Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors, ‘They are published without regard to whether they agree or disagree with The Tribune's, policies, George Eastman (New York Times) Lucretius imagined that all the ob- jects in nature are constantly giving off films or images, in infinite com- plexity yet in no confusion, keeping their forms on_ their way to the senses. George Eastman, who died yesterday, will be remembered pre- eminently for giving to mankind a means of catching these images in their flight by a film more sensitive than the senses themselves. Untold millions have availed of this scien- tific magic which bears a name that has become familiar as a noun in every language and has even found @ permanent place as a verb in the English lexicons—meaning to photo- graph with his “kodak” and figura- tively to “catch or describe quickly or vividly.” There is not a corner of the earth that has not been brought within reach of his films, so that one may stay at home and yet see around the globe. Every year enough of these strips of film are made to reach ten times around it. Before his going, Eastman found a way of filling the shadow world with colors, such as nature herself uses in brightening creation. Flowers have in his films been made to bloom in all seasons, and even in the desert. The tropical jungle is made to flourish amid the snows of the frigid zones. The little {gleaming patches of light on the walls of schoolrooms have come to aid teachers and supplement text- books. And the chronicles of the years are written in pictures that cannot prevaricate or forget. A stu- Pendous factor he has been in the education and life of the modern world. Editorial Comment | Who'd Have Thought H le Could Do It? | with Gilbert Swan Curley Reminisces New York, March 22.—Of the many | persons who add to the minor insan- ities of this era, one of the more suc- cessful and persistent is Jack Curley, who not only matches wrestlers for the various New York arenas but also engineers marathon dances, flag- Pole sittings and other freak endur- ance tests. As might be imagined, many are the amusing and odd incidents and personalities encountered. “But there's one team. in particu- lar,” recites Curley, “that staged a funny one—a married couple by the name of Beckland. It was oved at a Brooklyn marathon dance. Being a husband and wife, they went through the usual spats about a lot of things, and couldn't agree on a lot of others. And that's what made it funny. For they started dancing together in the contest and after half a dozen days, Clarence, the husband, wanted to quit. But the missus says ‘No.’ The next day the missus weakend and agreed that maybe they had better stop. By this time the hubby was stubborn ‘and wouldn't. As the re- sult they danced for 24 days.” ** * A Champ Dethroned 2 One of Curley’s saddest experiences was staged in Hagerstown, Md. There, he relates, he heard about a young flagpole sitter known as “Spanish” Smith. This lad appeared to have staying qualities that gave him the jadvance appearances of a champ. “So he gets up on his pole, and he starts training,” goes on the narrator. “And it looks like nothing can bring him down.

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXXIV T dawn Ellen wakened when her mother entered the room. Molly tiptoed to her daughter's bed, tucked in the covers and smoothed Ellen’s fair hair away from her forehead. “It’s going to be a lovely day,” Molly whispered. She was trying hard to be cas- ual but Ellen saw that Molly was frightened. Seeing: that, Ellen be- came determined not to share her own fear. “Myra’s asleep,” the mother whispered again. “I wanted to talk to you, darling—to tell you—" “There's nothing to tell,” said Ellen nervously, almost sharply. She drew the light spread closer. “But honey,” Molly went on wistfully as if she were sorry for something. “Do you really want to marry Steven? Do you under- stand—” She had never seemed more helpless. “Yes, I want to,” Elfen insisted. The girl's voice had risén alightly so that Myra stirred and woke. Bright sunshine came pouring through the window. “Happy the bride the sun shines on,” Myra cried out and sprang from bed. The day was bright blue and: perfect, s day cut from a pictute postcard.

However, the use of the term cannot and should gal distribution of ages. There are bool Most every field of human life, and it is‘ conceivable that the bootlegger in the health field may be even more of a menace to the community than the bootlegger of intoxicating liquors. Because of the menace that exists from milk coming frem tuberculosis cows, from milk that has been col- lected under unsanitary conditions and from milk that is distributed without suitable hygienic control, the milk bootlegger may cause more dis- ease and death than the purveyor of ‘bad whiskey.

It was decided to dispense with the services of five teachers and to make effective with the be- ginning of the next school year @ 10 per cent cut in all teachers’ salaries. The total economies thus ef- fected will reduce the city's school budget a total of about $13,000, it was estimated by board members today.

Cost of teaching service in the city’s schools is annually about $90,000. The cuts made Wednes- day will reduce this figure to ap- Proximately $77,000. The board at its meeting Wed- nesday night also offered con- tracts for the coming year to all the city’s teachers except those whose positions have been abol- ished under the new economy plans, eration of the milk during transpor- tation, pasteurization by the holding method, which means that the milk must be held for a certain definite Period at a certain definite tempera- ture, distribution in sterilized bottles ‘and proper handling of the bottles that are collected from the homes after the milk is used. Instances are recorded in which farmrs owning one or two cows have collected the milk from these cows ‘and peddled it from door to door in nearby communities, without observ- ing any sanitary precautions, and at lower prices than can be met by re- Putable distributors who observe the Jaw. One instance is recorded in which such a farmer peddler delivered milk to a home where there was scarlet fever and each day collected the bot- tles from this home, rinsed them in his wagon and refilled them with milk from a large cai ind then left these bottles in other homes in the community. Such a performance is far more menacing than bootlegging in any other field. It is @ wise precaution to check up on your milk man and be sure that his methods are sanitary.
