(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, BREWER (Incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON | Roosevelt and Tammany Even if he were not a candidate for the presidency, no other governor ot} a state would be as much in the pub-j lic eye just now as Franslin D. Roo- | sevelt of New York for it is he who| must decide whether the mayor of| the nation’s largest city is to be re- moved from office or retained in power. It is an important decision and one | which the nation hopes will be de- cided on its merits in the interest of simple justice. Nevertheless, there is no escaping the fact that the deci- sion, whatever it may be, will cause heavy political reactions. If Walker is removed, the governor will incur the active displeasure of} the Tammany organization, which tules New York city. As a matter of} practical politics he would be almost forfeiting his chances of carrying New York state and its huge electoral | vote. A possible alternative, of | course, is that the enemies of Tam-| many might rally to him if he re-| moved Mayor Walker, but that pros- pect is rather dim. On the other hand, he will be con- siderably weakened in the west and) south if he gives the mayor a clean|/} bill of health after the evidence un-} covered by Judge Samuel Seabury’s investigation. At the same time, it} would not insure Roosevelt's carry- ing New York state, for Tammany works better in deciding municipal is- sues *tijan in supporting national can- didates. As a result of this situation, it in tough spots with respect to pend-) ing issues, President Hoover has had | Democratic candidate has, Walker case, one which is just as istration.

Re- publicans made much of it as be- traying a Roosevelt weakness and Tammany was cool toward it, pend- ing the decision of the fate of one of its darlings, the dapper mayor. Politically, it would seem to be to Roosevelt's advantage to give Walker | | affairs. the boot, even though the New York | electoral vote is large indeed. It was the West and South which nominated him over Tammany opposition—and the New York political bosses are not in favor in those sections. Tammany, espousing the candidacy of Alfred E. Smith, fought him every inch of the way and Mayor Walker was one of the most active partici- pants in the fight. During the con- vention pictures were sent out show- ing the mayor casting his ballot against the Roosevelt nomination. One got the impression, as the bat- tle raged, that Roosevelt might have won those New York votes by prom- ising to “be good” on the Walker case. The fact that they stood out against him to the last proves that he made no such promise, and this is to be considered in his favor. It seems a little early, therefore, for the Republican leaders to assail Roo- _ sevelt on the strength of his message to Tammany. He clearly is not and never has been a Tammany man. In fact, his first important act as a pub- lic man was to help defeat Tam- many’s choice for United States sena- tor, elected by the legislature in those days., Only through Smith has he ever maintained much contact with ‘Tammany—and now that contact ap- pears to be broken. The Republicans, who were pro- testing a year ago against an alleged attempt to “smear” Hoover should be careful not to employ the same tac- tics against Hoover's opponent.

Outfits like that which does Bis- marck credit are not produced in a week, @ day or a month or without considerable outlay of money for in- struments and materials. The men in the corps and its di- rector have given hours of their time to patient practice in order that they may do themselves and the city proud when they appear in public. The lo- given loyal support to this organiza- tion which brings pride and pleasure to the entire city and which has| attracted much favorable notice throughout the state, particularly in|. the Bismarck trade area. The American Legion drum corps this district because of the quality of its performance and its colorful ap- Pearance. Two weeks hence it will go to Dev- ils Lake to compete for the state championship with other similar or- ganizations from other Legion posts. It has done well in these competitions in the past. ‘The men in the corps will take with them knowledge of the pride which the city has in them and the best wishes of Bismarck citizens that they win the championship which they have trained so faithfully in the ef- fort to attain. 300,000 Roving Boys Reports from Washington say that fully 300.000 young men and boys are: wandering aimlessly about the coun- try these days, going on the bum without the slightest notion of what is ahead of them. Uprooted by the depression, these youngsters originally set out in the hope that they could find work in the next town, or if not then in the next town after that. In almost every case they were disappointed; now they are simply wanderers, homeless and penniless, constituting an ever- growing problem. “It is vitally important that young | men this summer be made to see that it is better for them ‘and for every- one alse that they stay at home. The chances are 100 to one that they will not better themselves by going away, unless they have a very definite) promise of a permanent job. This nation already has all the roving panhandlers it can care for.

Three measures initiated by! the state taxpayers’ association, two| of which reduced mileage allowances for state and local officials and an- other cutting the salaries of county officials by 20 per cent, were all car- ried by large majorities. Another piece of initiated legislation propos- ing to reduce the valuation of prop- erty for taxation purposes from 75 to 50 per cent seems almost certain to be carried, and a law outlawing crop mortgages is receiving a large vote,! although its ultimate fate is in doubt. A bill outlawing corporation farming ‘was enacted by a large vote. The most radical legislative proposal, however, that which would have established a five-year moratorium on indebted- ness, was overwhelmingly defeated. Although local factors and personal Political factions played their part in determining the outcome of North Dakota’s primary, it is quite apparent that it was, broadly speaking, an eco- nomic revolt in so far as it is possible to say that any popular election is an Cems of that type of mass emo- on.

He was as stubborn in his way as was her father. Cherry sighed. After a little she began to talk of other; things.

She wore an old dress that was ruined for any other purpose, rolled up her sleeves and tied a towel about her head. For an hour she wielded a broom vigorously. Then with a pail of warm, soapy water she began to wash woodwork. She had just finished scrubbing the floor of the bathroom when the ringing of the bell indicated that someone down- stairs wanted to see her. Cautiously Cherry looked over the bannister. 2 “Oh, Martin!” she called, “I had no idea it was so late! If you'll wait just a few minutes I'll hurry!” She darted back into the apart- ment, threw off the disreputable dress and dashed water on her face. Ten minutes later she came running down th Martin, dignified always, helped her into the car and closed the door after her. Cherry enjoyed the drive. She found her mother sitting in the big chair before a window of her bedroom, Mrs. Dixon was smiling as Cherry entered. The nurse slipped away and left them together. They were talking of inconsequential subjects when, in the midst of a sentence, Mrs, Dixon's words broke off. “Cherry!” she exclaimed, “Your hands—what-on earth have you been doing with them?’ The girl glanced down, Against the brown crepe of her frock her “Why—I—” Cherry jave been something “Your two hands flamed bright pink. ; | They looked swollen and rough. | began, | ment, will you?” he “they do look badly, don’t they?| mother and I have a plan and I haired and blue-eyed looked par- ticularly attractive in a frock of blue organdie. Her leghorn hat had just enough of the Watteau shepherdess: about it and just enough of the Parisian designer's touch to be both picturesque and chic. Cherry was wearing a shantung sports dress. It was one from last summer and looked it but Cherry herself had not been con- scious of this fact until she saw Gretchen. Mrs. Alden and her daughter excused themselves soon and Cherry saw them to the door. When she returned Mrs. Dizon said, “Cherry, I want you to go to Madeline’s tomorrow and pick out some new clothes. Charge them to my account. It will be all right—” “Oh, but I couldn’t do that! Dan would never stand for it.” “Then you'll have to manage without his knowing. I’m not go- ing to have you practically in rags. You look a sight! Besides, you really need some dresses.” Cherry laughed. “I’m sure 1 don’t know what for,” she said. “We're not going anywhere. Dan’s holding over his vacation until fall so we can save some money.” “But I want you to promise me you'll get those dresses.” Cherry couldn’t very well re- fuse.
