(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, BREWER (Incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON ———— | Hell-Raising Candidates ' I, J. Moe of Valley City, candidate for the Republican gubernatorial ‘nomination with endorsement of the Progressive party, announced while a visitor in Bismarck recently that he intends to “raise plenty of hell” in the primary campaign. “That's what the people want,” ‘Moe observed, “and the people know T'll accommodate them if I am elect- ed to office.” Politically speaking, it may be a sound observation but there still re- mains a large gap between expecta- tion and realization, for Moe will have | competition. At least one of the other candidates for the office has long prided himself on being something of a “hell-raiser” in his own right and the others may have unsuspected possibilities, | But if it does nothing else, the Moc pronouncement adds interest to what gives every evidence of an exciting campaign. People are in a mood to disregard the political pot pourri which has been served to them for many years. They look with suspicion upon many utterances which long have been the stock in trade of North Dakota politicians. They have been uncertain as to just what they should do for a long time, and now the un- certainty is aggravated. Every candi- | date is “on the spot” from a political | standpoint. Those with good records need have no fear but those about whom the people are uncertain may find themselves in the discard when} the votes are counted in the primary election. And after the primary election, do} not forget that the state faces a real | campaign in the fall when the Demo- cratic cohorts will tilt with the suc- cessful Republican nominees. The optimistic Democrats make no secret that they expect to get aid,| comfort and votes from whatever branch of the Republican party loses in June. They feel they are in posi- tion to accept support from either side and, even at this early day, make no secret of their willingness to do so. As the minority party they feel they have to get a lot of Republican votes to win. ‘The so-called wisemen of the Dem- ocratic ranks are frank to admit, in private conversation, that they expect a tremendous shrinkage in the Demo- cratic vote next June as compared with the vote cast in the March pri- mary. They will be well satisfied, on the whole, if the 85,000 ballots of March shrink to no more than 35,000 in June. This will be more than twice @s Many as the Democrats have poll- ed at a primary election in the past and will be plenty to keep the party organization in good working order. One reason for the anticipated shrinkage is the fact that many Dem- ocratic leaders, heretofore aligned ‘with either the I. V. A. or Nonpartisan groups, are not going to discard, ir- revocably, their connections with those organizations. They will be careful to have the record show that they voted Democratic themselves, be- cause many of them are in line for federal appointments if the party car- ties the nation, but they are not going to get their fingers burned by get- ting out too big a Democratic vote in June and thereby contributing to the defeat of their favorite Repub- ! 09 | Minority traordinary amount of caution. They fear nothing so much as a real live issue. When they fight they take good care to get all the big guns on their side. They reserve their heav- jest blasts for insignificant oppon- ents who cannot fight back effec- tively. The commonest explanation for this sad state of affairs is that it is inev- jitabie in a democracy. Office holders depend on votes for their jobs. If they make enemies they lose votes. The pressure to straddle, to compromise, to placate powerful minorities and leaders is almost over- | whelming. Oddly enough, though, a casual glance at American political history will show that this sort of thing isn’t in the least necessary. The politicians are revealing, not the fundamental fault of democracy, but thelr own weakness. ‘What has happened is that the poli- ticlans have made the mistake of un- derestimating the common sense and good judgment of the electorate. The greatest figures in American ; Political history are the men who dared to make enemies—the men who were willing to follow their own con- ceptions of right and trust to the elec- torate for an accurate understanding of them. Jackson, Lincoln, Cleveland, Roose- velt, Wilson—they were, one and all, fighters, enemy-makers. They knew (politics, of course; they could com- promise when they had to; but they could also adopt an unpopular line of attack and stick to it no matter how Great the risks to their own personal fortunes. And it is worth remember- ing that the electorate stood by them time and again. The cowardice of our politicians, in other words, isn’t an inevitable part of derrocracy. Let a really bold and determined political leader appear to- day and the response he would get might be astonishing. Bull Fights Vs. Movies The bull fight is popularly sup- posed to be Mexico's favorite diver- sion; but a brief article in a thea- trical magazine recently indicates that the movies have pushed the bull ring into a very poor second place. During 1930, there were sold in Mexico City and its environs some 18,500,000 admissions to places of public amusement. Of these, almost 16,000,000 were tickets to the movies; and only 160,000 were tickets to bull fights. Just what all of this proves is not entirely clear; in the United States, for example, the movies outdraw baseball by a wide margin, but base- ball is far from losing its popularity. It does indicate, though, that the bull fight may not be quite as great an obsession with the Mexicans as we commonly suppose. A Freakish Accident Accidents can be freakish, some- times. An Ohio widow is suing an in- surance company for $5,000 worth of accident insurance, and in her claim she describes what surely must be one of the oddest accidents ever recorded. Her husband was playing golf. Hav- ing driven off from the first tee, he started strolling down the fairway, swinging his club as any golfer might. Somehow the shaft of the club got en- tangled in his legs and tripped him. He fell, struck his head on the end of the club, and died a short time later. Sometimes it almost seems as if there were a cruelly impish fate that devoted all its time to devising im- Probable ways to end men's lives. 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, Mr. Fish Sights an Issue. (Minneapolis Tribune) Representative Fish of New York can work up a high class case of nerves over Soviet Russia quicker than ‘any man in congress, so it is scarcely surprising to learn that he is already hurling the thunderbolts of challenge at the Democratic party, and defying it to take a stand for recognition. Mr. Fish, apparently, thinks that this country’s relationships with Rus- sia are going to constitute one of the really vital issues of the forthcoming campaign, and that the American peo- ple are simply itching for the oppor- tunity to march to the polls and cast their ballots for or against a policy of recognition. He is plainly perturbed because Senator Robinson of Arkansas and Representative Rainey of Illinois have both announced themselves in favor of such a policy and he would like to know in short order whether theirs is the official Democratic point of view. = ‘While we sincerely hope that some- disposed to believe that he is trying to drag what is essentially a minor i It of this attitude, hints dropped to many Demo- Fel i ERLgiETEGET: Pee | ‘fight in the Cowardice in Politics Cowardice has become one of the most common characteristics in Amer- ‘SiOur political lesders possess an ex- i campaign issue into the main political arena.

Thus a book titled “Making the Most of Your Life” came drifting to my desk just in time to buoy me up a bit. Hastily running over subheads and index references, I have learned— among other things—that Edison fre- quently forgot his own name when under pressure; that Selfridge, the de- partment store king, had to force him- self by rigid discipline to keep awake while reading; that a certain cardinal enjoyed leaping over chairs in gym- nasium fashion; that Astor had to be icebound before he learned the fur business, and that J. P. Morgan is of- ten oversensitive about personal af- fections. But one reference which cheers me most is: “Wife teaches husband to remember.” Mine had almost given up! eee Skinning the Wolf Then there's the recent case of Rich- ard Whitney, who although president of the Stock Exchange, had to admit) * to the Senate committee that he had been walloped by the Wall Street crash along with the rest of the suck- ers. Which should entitle me at least to a trader's post on the floor. And, what, oh, what, ever became of those half-a-million dollar seats they were buying on the Exchange? I must visit the antique shops more of- ten! + eH I know several young men of the Broadway sector who lost heavily, but who used their losses and experience to “cash in” afterward. Eddie Cantor was among the first. He immediately turned out a couple of funny books on the subject and cleaned up on depression gags in vaudeville, music shows, radio and the movies. Loser to the extent of several millions, Cantor was among the first to appreciate some of the funnier as- Pects of our woes. ee # Cashing In Nat Dorfman, who spent years and STICKEBS Can you make out the above word, by | filling in six vowels in place ofthe dashes?

Whereupon he turned out a comedy, “Take My Tip,” in which an entire neighborhood made money as long as things were on the up; crash- ing in the end, and, of course, blam- ing their tipster. A trick invention saves the day. Of course, Nat should know by this time that play producing is a gamble in the same class with Wall Street. But since this is the first of the stock crash opuses, several concerns are re- ported bidding for it. If the right price is paid, Dorfman will have his gelt back with interest. * # # While the Iron Is Hot This reminds me of the headaches they're having in the Broadway offices of the brothers Warner. They bought the farce, “Blessed Event,” presum- ably for Jimmy Cagney. At any rate, Cagney and a director came east to study it. But Cagney didn’t go back on schedule. On the crest of the popularity wave, Cagney is demanding $3,000 instead of the $1,400 a week he now gets. Aware of the insecurity of stardom, he wants to cash in while the crowds are shout- ing. While the argument was on, ‘Warners were said to have shifted the “Blessed Event” lead either to Jack Oakie or Lee Tracy.

British and French forces in Picardy continued their local counterattacks, improving their positions at Meteren and at Locre, after sharp fighting. American troops in the Lorraine sector raided the German lines and penetrated to the third line of de- fense near Holloville. A French shell was reported to have disabled the last of the long-range German guns which had been shelling Paris since the start of the great Ger- man drive on March 21. The U. S. Senate adopted the sedi- tion bill, permitting the government to punish disloyal acts and utterances for the duration of the war. Berlin dispatches said that a treaty of peace between Rumania and the Central Powers had been agreed upon and would be signed within a week. Daily Health News Fresh Vegetables In Diet Supply Iron Needs By DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American Medical Association Some years ago there was a great advertising campaign on behalf of raisins, based on the idea that hu- mans did not get enough iron in their food and therefore ought to eat a great many raisins for excess iron. True, raisins do contain iron, but they also provide the person who eats them with seeds, pulp, stems and other material which he may not want and which are irritating to a sensitive intestinal tract. The Bureau of Home Economies of the U. S. Department of Agriculture recently has made available a report by Hazel K. Stiegeling concerning the iron content of ordinary vegetables and fruits. Not all food substances are equally rich in this important metal. ‘The metal is important because it takes part in the formation of the haemoglobin or red coloring matter of the blood. If there is insufficient haemoglobin, breathing is difficult, energy disappears, and resistance to disease is apparently lowered. The investigator examined. speci- mens of fruits and vegetables from various parts of the country and checked up reports made by chemists.

"AMONE vegetables and foods con- sidered to be good sources of iron are artichokes, asparagus, string beans, blackberries, cabbage, cauliflower, green lettuce, onion tops, pumpkins, potatoes and raspberries. It is found that iron in plants is associated with the chlorophyll which is particularly rich on the leaves. The green colored vegetables are of the greatest importance for their iron content as well as for many other nu- tritive factors, The average American diet would be much improved by @ more liberal use of green vegetables, — KINTYRE MAN DIES Kintyre, N.
