They can do it if they will. A Conservative Estimate In checking over the possibilities for a Democratic victory in November, nine leaders of that party issued a statement in which they asserted the ‘party is sure to carry 15 states, has jgood prospects in 18 others, -a fair able but possible” in four. North Dakota is listed in the “fair” column and, judged on this basis, the estimate would seem to be conserva- tive. This state has cast its electoral votes for a Democratic president be- fore, having gone for Wilson in 1916, and the presence of 80,000 Democratic voters at the polls last March offers \proof it could happen again. Other states in the near northwest are listed as possibilities by the Dem- ocrats. Montana qualifies as an ex-| |cellent prospect while Minnesota and! South Dakota are classed with North Dakota in the fair column. Based on present evidences of the political trend the guess seems to be justified, al- though there's many a slip twixt the estimate and the election. The average man, as he goes along in life, accumulates more disposition than money.

Mothers’ Health ‘Is Given More Attention By DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American Medical Association All over the world today health au- thorities, students of economics and statesmen are giving serious attention to the preservation of the health and life of mothers. It is realized that the mother may be the most important factor for the future health of the na- tion—morally and physically. The number of books and pamph- lets that has been developed to ad- vise on this subject is tremendous. In Canada a great co-operative effort in- volves a study of the statistics of maternal health and mortality, the appointment of a special committee of the Canada Medical Association to co- operate in education on pre-natal care, investigation as to nursing serv- ice, the establishment of pre-natal clinics and an investigation of hos- Pitals as to the type of materntiy service that is rendered. xe * : The Canada Council on Child and Family Welfare has developed pre- ‘Dead’ By Mistake Associated Press Photo This tad turned up in Chicago and said he was Roy Le Duke, 19- year-old son of Leon Le Duke of Concord, N.

Cc & a u da 4 a x yd al a 1 1 LY 2 xt political magnets in this as in other, . tion in the running expenses of the There is still another chapter to be ‘added to the political pre-primary his- tory. State Democrats, jubilant over their prospects, will gather soon in| New Rockford, a city removed from the maddening crowd and untouched by political intrigue. In its quiet pre- | cincts, the party of Jefferson will seek to nominate a ticket which will at- tract support from those who are bruised in the other fights or who don’t like the alignments and are cry- ing for a new deal. In the past, the Democrats have had very little of the political spotlight. Fusion with political factions of the Republican party in past years prac- tically suspended operations of the Democratic ‘party. But some 80,000 ‘votes were received last March. This has put life into the party and its leadership must be reckoned with. Politicians will watch with interest what happens at New Rockford. As for the I. V. A. and League tick- ets, they are not any better or much | worse than in the past. Men nomi-/} nated for the most part represent the school of politics with which they have Jong been aligned. Of course some in| both camps have vacillated at times, moving from one group to the other} and back again. But what of that! | Party lines have been loosely drawn. Patronage and prospects of victory are | states. There is no great rallying cry in the campaign, as the stage is now set, except that those who are in want | to stay there and those who are out! want to get in. | Probably such men as Byrne, Ols- ness, Morris and Larkin will find little difficulty in making the grade unless the Democrats pick a ticket strong enough to attract a lot of farmers to their primaries next June. If 50,000 or 60,000 votes can be held by the Demo- crats in the June primaries, then most anything can happen in the Republi- can ranks. It is a bad year to predict. Within the I. V. A. there is a large group of voters who would like to eliminate the Twichell crowd. Within the league there is @ group which chafes against the manner in which the political show is being run. These frictions may act as offsets and there may emerge from the Republican primaries the kind of a lineup now in power, a di- vision of the political plums between the League and I. V. A. factions. League officials now in charge have always received some backing from the I. V. A. faction and certain dis- gruntled elements in the League have supported I. V. A. candidates. There is every evidence that the voters are going to act as they have in the past | with the exception of those who are | going out of the Republican primaries entirely as a protest against present economic conditions and to voice their displeasure at the way some state of- ficlals have been handling the affairs of government, especially patronage. In any event the stage is all set for @ merry campaign with plenty of ex- vitement. Reducing Taxes While the redu of the school budget in the city of Bismarck may not affect the tax levy immediately, relief will come as a matter of course in future levies:.

Burlington railroad director, said while in Omaha to which hearty as- sent can be given. The railroads are indeed essential to the nation. They render an indis | pensable service. They made possible | growth of such cities as Oma are entitled to a fair return on hon investment. They are heavy ta’ fe ers. Some of them are now involved in serious difficulties, due to the fall- ing off in business and the inroads of truck and automobile competition, facilitated by the rapid extension of the good roads movement. Neverthe-| less, states like Nebraska are chiefly dependent upon the railroads for the] s movement of their products to market and for the preservation and extension of their commerce. Because we could not possibly get along, even as well as we are getting along, without the railroads, we are deeply concerned in their financial salvation. They are entitled to what- ever protection can properly be af- forded against “unnecessary and un- just” competition that threatens their solvency. It cannot be granted, however, t the development of inland waterway: any more than hard-surfaced high- ways, creates unnecessary competi- tion, or that it is unjust competition. Neither can it be granted that such development is necessarily, or prob: ably, harmful to the railroad cai riers, particularly in this landlocked midwest that languishes because it is shut off from the world’s highways. The whole world has become one vast competitive market, notwith- standing the artificial barriers that) tariffs and retaliatory tariffs create. The Nebraska farmer sells his product in that market. So does the Omaha manufacturer and processor. But the Nebraska farmer finds him- | je ri si waterways than any other agricultural producer anywhere else on earth, The Omaha manufacturer finds himself in the same condition. Both, because they are obliged to ship from 1,000 to 1,500 miles by rail, are required to pay freight costs much greater than their competitors pay who are nearer to tidewater. New York can ship to San Fran- cisco, San Francisco to New York, cheaper, via the Panama canal, than Omaha, midway between, can ship to either point. The north Attantic coast of North America is nearer, measured in transportation costs, to the Pacific coast of South America, than Omaha is, though Omaha is much nearer in miles. San Francisco is nearer to Europe than.Omaha, and New York nearer the Orient. The Nebraska producer of foodstuffs is heavily handicapped in precisely the same way. His freight costs devour his profits. The greater part of this handicap would be removed if waterways con- nected Omaha with New Orleans, and with Chicago and the Great Lakes. We of Nebraska would hereupon be enabled to meet competition of the rest of the world upon somewhat even terms. Because we cannot now meet that / competition fairly our growth and development languishes, and has languished for a third of a centur though we are still a new state. Be- cause that growth is stunted com- merce and production within the state itself are vitally affected. If the long haul were flourishing, if business were encouraged, population would grow, there would be new business and more business, and more short hauls for the railroads. There would be more commodities for the railroads to carry ‘on the long haul, too, commodities for the exchange of which slow water transportation is not adapted. ‘What this region wants to do is to realize its manifest destiny. It aspires to be what it ought to be. What it ought to be is a region as populous, as productive, as busy, as wealthy, as any other region in the nation, be- cause it is to that its exhaustless re- sources, its climate, its enlightened citizenship, entitle it. Against the achievement of that ambition two great barriers exist. One is a tariff system that compels ‘us to sell in a cheap market and buy in a dear market. The other is water transportation for east and west and south and north—but none for Kan- sas and Nebraska and Iowa and the Dakotas.

Mrs. Milton, stout and voluble, bustled in, wearing a gay flowered georgette. “What on earth's the matter, Susan Carey?” The girl stammered, “I—I got something in my eye. “Well, now, let’s sce!” Mrs. Milton flipped a big white hand- kerchief out of the top drawer and made a funnel of one corner. “Let me at it. I’m great at getting those things out. Once Papa got a piece in his eye so big he made a joke out of it.

Pink’s your color, The boys’ll be after you, Susan Carey. What I say is what's the use of you bothering your head with all thig business course nonsense when you'll soon be stepping out and getting mar- ried.” Her laugh wheezed out. suddenly, disconcertingly. Susan smiled. In some obscure way the outlook had been light- ened. rs “I’m going to have to earn my living in the meantime,” she said.|* “How's your aunt?” Mrs, Mil- ton wanted to know. “Oh, Aunt Jessie’s fine.” Susan frowned a little as she said it. Mrs. Milton’s sharp eyes caught the frown. “As strict as ever?” she wanted to know, Susan flushed and nodded. Mrs. Milton clucked sympathetically. “Well, as I always say, I don’t believe in bringing up girls too stiff-necked,” she observed com- fortably. “Mine always had a good time. There’s Veronica who's got herself a good husband and a nice home out in Oak Park. And Grace out in Pasadena. My girls had lots of beaux and I encour- aged ’em. I believe in it, If you don’t see they have a good time somebody else will, And that may not be so good. Your Aunt Jessie's old style like my mother.

I just want a little freedom and some fun.” “That's right. That's right.” Mrs. Milton patted her on the shoulder. “Now you run along back and start having some, There are some boys there who won't want to miss you in your pink dress.” A bit reluctantly Susan obeyed. Rose Milton, a tall blond girl wearing many blue ruffles, rushed up to her, The rugs in the big front room had been rolled back and four or five couples were dancing. Not to the music of the radio, was pounding out “st. Louis Blues” at the plano in the corner. He played with his whole body. Hands, feet, even his head moved to the rhythm. Susan stared at him, fascinated. Rose led her toward the pianist. SAN smiled in sympathy. “But. man BY MABEL McELLIOTT . Let me see, Su-| 1| “Well, none of us did.) ROBER' I told you about. Susan Carey. She’s not a nitwit like the rest of us. She has brains. Talk to her.” The young man stopped playing “St. Louis Blues” in the very mid- dle of a mournful phrase and jumped up. He was tall and lean and vaguely rumpled looking. Su- san put her slim hand into the crushing grip he offered her, Some- one turned on the radio after a moment or two of grumbling on the part of the interrupted danc- ers and young Lampman mur- mured, “Want to dance?” Susan did. Although she had so few opportunities she danced well, Even this indifferent partner could not spoil her pleasure in rhythm. “Did—did anybody ever tell you that you looked like Joan Crawford?” he asked. Susan smiled and fluttered a glance upward from beneath long lashes. “Yes,” she murmured, “I suppose like all the girls you want to go into the movies,” he muttered, trying to make conversa- tion. “I hadn’t thought about it,” said Susan. “I’m learning to be a big business girl.” “That’s terrible,” barked Ben Lampman. “I think the men in the gay nineties were right,. Wo- man’s place is in the home.” Susan stared. She thought he must be joking. But the young man was in deadly earnest. “Makes me sick, seeing these swarms of young girls all over downtown, morning and night,” he said. “They ought to be in nice kitchens or taking care of ids.” A dark-haired young man | kid “How sil-ly!” trilted Rose Mil- ton, overhearing this last. ‘Rally round, girls and boys, ard listen to Ben rave. He's on the stump again.” . i kegs young man reddened. Rose “Ben Lampman, here's the girl grasped his hands and pulled DUNBAR him to his feet. “Back to the Piano, you,” she sang gaily. “If that’s the best you can do for Susan Carey you'd better pound out some more music and let her dance.” One of the boys Susan had known in high school, Eddie Wil- kins, came up and claimed her. Susan felt a fool. What an un- comfortable sort of person young Lampman was! Eddie muttered in her ear that Ben was “kind of a socialist or something.” A freak, Susan decided. But a rather in- teresting freak. And how he could play! As the evening wore on Susan's eyes brightened and the flush in her cheeks deepened. She was having a good time! It was too good to be true, At 11 o'clock she jumped up, startled. Mrs, Milton and a colored woman were beginning to serve supper, but Su- san dashed into the bedroom and retrieved her wraps from the mountain of coats on the big bed. Rose dawdled after her, “Hon- estly, do you have to go?” Susan pulled on her gloves. “Oh, you know Aunt Jessie! She would have the police out search- ing for me if I stayed any longer.” “It's a shame,” Rose said, “but I'l get one of the boys to take you home. You mustn’t go by yourself.” “Don’t bother,” begged Susan, She had ‘visions of a long walk home with a bored young man who would be annoyed at being dragged away from the feast. When she arrived at the front door she found Ben Lampman there, hat in hand. “Rose said you were going—do you mind?” jhe stuttered, “It’s very kind of you,” sald Susan, politely. But she was rather appalled at the prospect of walking eight blocks with young Mr. Lampman’ who thought wo- {man’s place was in the home. NTER/ @& cont thal, ©1932 BY NEA SERVICE INC. He and Aunt Jessie would get along rather well. * ‘ However, Ben spared her any more harangues. He talked desul- torily of music, of what he wanted to do. He dreamed of having an orchestra of his own “like White- man’s.” Susan could sympathize with this. “I think that would be wonder- ful,” she told him enthusiastically. “Do you, honestly?” He was almost pathetic in his desire for approval. “Yes, I do.” And then Susan told him about her struggles with the demon, shorthand, and her fear that she would never conquer what Aunt Jessie called “the busi- ness world.” . BEN LAMPMAN growled, “Stick with it. You'll be successful, I can see that. Don’t mind what I said tonight about girls working, I know that’s behind the times, From what you tell me you've got a hard row to hoe with this aunt of yours, You've got to strike out, for yourself.” Susan flushed and stammered loyally, “Aunt Jessie is all right, She just doesn’t understand.” Now they were at her doorstep. The little house looked shrouded and secretive. For a minute Su- san was terribly nervous. What if Aunt Jessie should be waiting up, should call out, “Come straight in this minute, Susan Carey!” She had been known to do that. e Hastily she held out her hand, “It was awfully nice of you to bring me home,” she murmured, “Thanks so much.” Ben Lampman grasped the hand feverishly. “I want to come and see you sometime,” he said. Susan felt a distaste for the young man’s ardor. “I—TI don’t know,” she said vaguely. “Maybe, some time.” “Tl telephone,” he promised as she ran up the stairs. Aunt Jessie called out, “Who was that you were talking to?” Susan said, “Just a friend of Rose's who brought me home,” She crept into her room, turned on the light and moved about as softly as possible, making ready for bed. After she had hung away the pink dress and slipped into her worn old dressing gown she stood for a long time staring at herself in the mirror, Susan yawned and just then Aunt Jessie, to whom every creak and whisper in the little house spoke as plainly as a child to its thother, called out, “For heaven’s sake, Susan Carey, stop primping in front of the mirror and get to bed. You've got to get up in the morning.” Oh, the morning! As it she'd forgotten the sarcastic shorthand teacher and the difficult tests there would be next day. Susan thought of Ben Lam: squared he: pass tt she said sturdily, ‘And I'll get @ job, and make money and put in an oi! burner for Aunt Jessie and get a silver fox for myself, I'll show them!” Tprelevantly Susan wondered what Robert Dunbar would have thought of Rose Milton’s party. He Probably would have been bored to death, Dancing to the radio, eating brick ice cream from a golden oak dining room table, would probably not fit in with his ideas of galety. “Wonder what he’s really lik Susan speculated just Betore dropped ‘off to sleep, She had no notion how soon she was to know about that!
