(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, BREWER (Incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON About Vice Presidents By the very nature of poiltics, can- didates for presidential nominations frequently wind up as candidates for the vice presidency instead. And in that connection, do not ‘overlook Melvin A. Traylor, Chicago banker or Harry Byrd, Virginia's former governor, as important figures in the Democatic picture. Friends are propagandizing for both men and it is easy to get the idea that they are unusual individuals. This is true Of Byrd his partisans say: “As 2 man he chose to be a farmer and be- came the greatest orchardist in Amer- ica; as a governor he brought the Old Dominion a new administrative structure that survived 1931 with a surplus; a8 a Democrat his career has! rivalled that of Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson.” There are other Pleasant things which may be said of Byrd but the above quotation gives the rough outline of the picture. Traylor offers perhaps the most spectacular public career in America He was born in a log cabin not 100 miles from where Lincoln was born more than half a century before, the son of pioneer ancestors. Until he was 18 years old he never wore shoes} except on Sunday and in the coldest weather. Until he was 20 he never saw a railroad train and his formal education took him to the fourtc grade of a rough, mountain school. Then he went to Texas and got a job as a grocery clerk, studying law at night. Having been elected state’s| attorney of a frontier Texas town, he became interested in pulling a bank out of a bad hole and did a good job of it. Then he went to a larger bank in Houston. In the big Texas city he made many friends and became a leading finan- cial figure in the livestock industry and so, in his early forties, he was called to the presidency of a bank in the stockyards district in Chicago. It needed a man who knew cattle and the livestock business as weil as bank- ing. Having made good there, Traylor ‘was made president of the First Na- tional Bank of Chicago, one of the nation’s great financial institutions. He arrived at this position when he sttll was on the sunny side of 50. ‘Anyone who feels that romance ts gone from the American scene need only look at Traylor’s history to find @, man whose progress rivals the he- roes of even the ancient Alger books. ‘With Traylor, so to speak, it was “Sink or Swim” but he was “Bound to Rise.” The presidential boom for Traylor ‘was begun and is being financed by his Texas friends, although in that state it ran afoul of the preference for Speaker John N. Garner, a native son who stayed at home. ‘Traylor has gained national recog- nition for his outspoken comments on ‘American business and political conditions. A rich man today, he has not forgotten his humble origin or the days when shoes were a real luxury. More than most rich men, perhaps, he retains the view of the less-talented man in the street who knows what it is to worry about paying the rent and rearing a family. Because it fits into the present po- litical situation, it may be well to re- call the bombshell Traylor threw into the meeting of the International Chamber of Commerce meeting at Washington last May. Speaking of the stock exchange and its activities, he said; “I would urge complete abol- ishment of so-called floor trading, which, I am informed, has about it most of the characteristics of plain crap-shooting and few, if any more redeeming features than that delight- @ better farmer by a long shot than I am a banker.” But such a man has little chance for the presidency. He is too forth- many toes and disregards too many traditions to make much of an appeal! to the politicians who rule party des- fipjes, It is some consolation to most of us, however, to know that America still can produce such human epics as the life of this doughty Chicagoan. A Champion Passes All horse-lovers will regret the un- 00 |timely death of Phar Lap, great Aus- tralian race horse. Having already established a remarkable record, he appeared to be on the threshold of a greater one, with good prospects of becoming the greatest money winner of all time. Originally purchased by his owner for $800, his earnings had reached the sum of $332,250 and only recent- ly he had demonstrated his unusual ability by winning the Agua Calienta handicap in record time, though but a short time off the boat after a long sea voyage from Australia. The motor car has eclipsed the horse as a means of providing trans- portation but man may never escape the lure and love of a good horse. Like the dog, he is securely entrenched in his human friend's esteem. Not many animals become world famous. Phar Lap did, because he was @ champion and humanity acquires a deep respect for a champion, whether man or beast. Phar Lap had that rare combination of a phlegmatic disposi- tion and the high courage which has been bred for generations into the thoroughbred. With these he pos- sessed speed and the ability to go the route. When he died, bulletins flashed in the news offices of the world and many paused momentarily to pay him homage. Not all persons have the capacity to find affection for an animal, but that is their loss. Those who love their dog or their horse will view with un- derstanding the unrestrained act of Phar Lap’s trainer in falling, weep- ing on his charge’s neck, as he lay dcad, The Irish Problem Half a dozen years ago it was popu- larly supposed that England had solved its “Irish problem” for good. The setting up of the Free State had been accomplished in good style, and it looked as if peace and harmony were to be the watchwords hence- forward. But today finds all of the old an- tagonism at the surface again. De Valera’s government abolishes the oath of allegiance to King George; the British government retorts that the Free State lacks the legal author- ity to do so; and the old old trouble is cropping out again, under overcast skies. Yet it need not be particularly sur- right, too outspoken. He steps on too THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, ‘APRIL 16, 19382 BREADWINNERS—1932 But Don't Whistle New York, April 16.—Anyone nurs- ing a suppressed desire to be thrown out of places can start training by whistling in a theatrical dressing room. That this was a jinx of jinxes had slipped my mind. The other day T found myself back stage for a chat with several performers, and becausc spring was in the air I muted my bird notes to a mere whispered ver- sion of a topical tune.. “Hey, whad'dya tryin’ to do—close the show or get me fired?” came the first barking interruption. havin’ tough enough going as it is!” There was nothing to do but retreat prising. A great many years of op- pression, bloodshed and bitter enmity went into the making of the “Irish problem.” It was old a century ago. Is it to be wondered at if there is still friction? Editorial Comment 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, Germany Stands Fast (New York Times) President Hindenburg’s re-election yesterday was foregone, which ex- Plains the total vote, considerably smaller than nad been predicted, but is full of happy augury. No event in modern German public life has equaled its importance, not only for the Ger- man people but for the outside world. Never before, it is safe to say, have other countries watched so eagerly @ political development in Germany. Not the death of Kaiser Frederick, not the accession of William II, not even the dismissal of Bismarck signified so much as the retention of Marshai Hindenburg at the head of the Reich. This is not a case of Amurath to Am- uarth succeeding, but is an affirma- tion, in the face of all the world, that the German people are resolved to maintain their Republic and to direct it in ways of order and a fixed policy of peace with all nations. When Hin- denburg was first elected president, many feared that it meant a restora- tion of the monarchy. But at the time a@ German, who knew well the simple qualities of honor and loyalty to duty which characterized the President of Germany, more wisely interpreted it. He declared: “Hindenburg’s election means the end of the Hohenzollerns, for now a faithful soldier will stand as sentry before their tomb to prevent them from emerging.” Yet in the encouragement and hope which steadfast men both within Ger- many and without must draw from the results of the German election on Sunday, it must not be supposed that all difficulties, certainly not all po- litical difficulties, have been remove? from Germany's path. Acute finan- cial embarrassments remain to plague the Government. Relations with Eu- rope still have to be smoothed out and stabilized. Nor can it be assumed that Hitler's defeat has obliterated the menace of his movement. His has been the voice of deep discon- tent—still threatening, as shown by his large vote yesterday. His appeal to German youth, and their remark- able response to it, indicate a contin- uing peril. Hitlerism has made itself, even when rejected and cast down,.8 ful Ethiopian pastime.” Strong lang-| power in German public life which ‘uage, that, for a banker.

MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American Medical Association Physicians know that there are , many varieties of rheumatic disease and therefore that self-treatment with chronic inflammation of the/natural improvement in the course of joints are seen at all sorts of resorts undertaking special baths and similar treatments which in their cases may not be warranted because of the acute inflammatory condition of the disturb- ance. Investigators in one large clinic of this country endeavored to find out how most of their patients with chronic disturbances were being treat- ed before coming to the clinic. It was found that 75 per cent of them had ‘consulted non-medical practitioners, masseurs, and similar healers, as well as various physicians, without suc- cessful results. Today proper treatment of rheu- matic inflammation involves the use of drugs which diminish pain; the re- moval of foci of infection in the teeth, tonsils, and other parts of the body; the use of physical therapy in the form of hot baths, electric develop- ment of heat in the tissues, and fin- ally a controlled diet. ee Unfortunately most patients with rheumatic inflammations do not un- dertake a regular course of treatment under competent care. They experi- ment with one method or another without realizing that the attack on this disease must be a profound and complete attack. Forty per cent of patients treated for rheumatic inflammations were found to have experimented at one time or another with all sorts of rheumatic cures offered in bottles in drug stores. It is stated that there are 6000 different rheumatic cures sold in Ger- many, and a brief investigation in this country revealed at least 550 patented rheumatism, gout and neuritis reme- dies now being sold in American drug stores. These remedies usually contain, as is pointed out by Drs. Edward H. Ryn- earson and Philip 8. Hench, some may be inadvisable, line in their cars.

TINY GERMANS ADVANCE On April 16, 1918, three fresh Ger- man divisions were thrown into the battle on the Lys sector in France. After an all-day struggle they stormed Bailleul, Wulverghem and Wytschaete and held the greater part of Messines ridge. German losses during the day were described as “very severe” by official British bulletins, which pointed out that British soldiers had been with- drawn to previously prepared posi- tions only after hard fighting in which their losses were small com- pared with that inflicted on the en- emy. The German long range gun again bombarded Paris, killing 16 and wounding 42 persons during the day. In the United States, Charles M. Schwab was appointed director gen- eral of the Emergency Fleet Cor- poration.
