Newspaper) Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, BREWER (Incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Leave It To The Legislature Decision of the Nonpartisan state executive committee not to commit the party to support of measures which Gubernatorial Candidate William Langer proposed to initiate bodes well for their political future and increases the confidence of the electorate that there will be no return to the ideas and practices of 1919 which put the Nonpartisans on the political rocks before. The voters should be particularly happy that they have been saved the necessity of attempting to analyze 19 or more measures which would have appeared on the initiative ballot if Langer’s proposal had won accept- ence. The Taxpayers’ Association already has proposed six and more are in the offing from other sources, according to reports received here. It is not a pleasant thing for the average voter to face a long ballot of initiated measures, some of them | complicated and some of them per-} taining to matters on which he knows | he is not too well informed. In the background, too, there is always the fact that the products contained in political cans do not always conform to the advertisements on the label. The knowledge is general that there may be as many or more “jokers” in an initiated measure than in one which has been enacted in the reg- ular way. There have been evidences that we! ‘re facing a mania for initiating measures. Since the success of six of | the seven measures which appeared on. the initiative ballot in June, the ten- dency to use this means of obtaining | relief or of achieving ends has grown in popularity. Many persons have realized that, with a large list of bills to be voted on, an attractive slogan and a flashy argument will go far toward obtaining the support of many persons. It would be no indictment of the intelligence of the public if, with a mass of issues to be voted on, it let some slip through which were not for their own best interests.

HORIZONTAL Answer to Previous Puzzle 18 Plain. : 1 Five great 21 Jeered. Another interesting fact is that these measures were, in part, the pro- duct of an imported expert. G. E. ‘Wallace, who drew them at Langer’s request, is a former tax commissioner of North Dakota and now is tax com- missioner of Minnesota. He is a high- ly respectable and respected citizen but there is no escaping the fact that he was imported for this occasion and that success for him might have pav- ed the way for others less capable and less respectable. There are many Nonpartisans who feel that the importation of so-called advanced thinkers in the early days of the Nonpartisan League contribut- ed to their subsequent defeat. The present leaders apparently do not want to repeat this error. In this they are, unquestionably, not only politically sound but actively patriotic. By their apparent indorse- ment of the Frazier bill and their attitude on other measures, the people of this state have given indication that they no longer are accepting the economic doctrines from the high pin- nacles without question. It is only reasonable to assume that they would be just as wary of imported political nostrums. Sponsors of the initiated clause of * the state constitution assured the public when it was adopted that it ‘was 2 weapon to be used sparingly. ‘This attitude should not be changed now. Of the proposed measures which were made public; not one of them @ould be classed as an emergency. All of them can and should be “ gonsidered by the. legislature in the deliberative manner provided for by tion. After all, it is the best method. Certainly the legislator who listens @ subject and who in better position to who must take track and field events at the Olympic games in Los Angeles this year dis- closes the probability that Finland, a nation with only 3,000,000 persons, will a nation of 123,000,000. the idea that Finland has developed a sports which is unparalleled since the pion athletes only by those interested the original makers of the constitu- W. snap judgment or who may hear only one side of the case. Reliable reports indicate that every candidate indorsed by the League, with the single exception of Langer, favored the action of the executive committee. This, too, is significant. It indi- cates that no one man will dominate the state government if the Repub- lican ticket is elected in the fall. This is as it should be. Bloodshed at Washington “Blood flowed at Washington Thurs- day as members of the indigent army of bonus seekers clashed with police following their eviction from gov- ernment property on which they had camped. The surprising thing about it is that the crisis was so long in coming. It had to come some time. Since the shooting was done by the forces of law and order and Super- intendent Glassford of the Washing- ton police asserts it was justified, it is to be assumed that the veterans were in the wrong. There can be no condoning their action in stoning and clubbing the policemen who were sent to evict them from their ramshackle, makeshift shelters. On the other hand, there is some- thing to be said for the veterans, also. It should be remembered that they are men who have felt the sharpest thrusts of present conditions. Many of them have their wives and fami- lies with them in Washington. They have no other homes. And so they may have felt they were upholding the best traditions of America by fight- ing for what they considered their rights and their homes. Hungry men or men pressed beyond their endur- ance sometimes get that way. Even while we condemn the bonus marchers for precipitating the car- nage we must recognize the fact that the whole situation has been rather Poorly handled by the federal author- ities. Superintendent Glassford alone has shown tact and humanity in handling this problem, and then only by going counter to the implied de- sires of the administration. If the veterans have bungled their appeal for assistance from the na- tion, the administration has bungled its handling of that appeal quite as badly. [ The Finns at Los Angeles Analysis of American prospects in the win more gold medals than our own, Finnish consulate at New York ex- plains why this is possible. It gives craze for track, field and winter days when Greek and Roman glad- iators were national heroes. In America, tribute is paid to cham- in the sport in which he happens to be a star. In Finland everyone is in- terested in what sporting competitions are held and the winner of an event becomes a national figure. The result is that every Finnish boy and girl approaches maturity with the secret hope of being a great runner or per- former in some other branch of track and field competition. Add to this interest the fact that the Finns are, generally speaking, a pastoral people of regular habits and even temperament; that their battles for a livelihood are carried on under what we would call unfavorable con- or months, Neither nerve, nor dividing the nerve brings relief in these cases. endeavor to relieve or mitigate the pain for the sufferer. Tic douloureux (pain spasm) is the most atrocious of all neuralgias, but fortunately it is rare. Pain occur only in the daytime, as a rule, and the patient manages to get fair rest nights. facial neuralgia the pain is usually worse by night. While persons who have or say they have other forms of neuralgic pain not infrequently crave sedative drugs and sometimes become drug addicts, it is a peculiar characteristic of gen- uine trifacial neuralgia that the vic- tim rarely or never becomes an addict, even if drugs are given for the re- lief of the suffering.

And it is a sign of the times—or of the times as they were up to the fall of 1929—that a “millionaire” is no longer one whose wealth totals a million, but one whose annual income is that great. If it were not that while the mil- lionaires were dwindling thus thou- sands of others were dropping from higher income schedules to lower, all down the line, there would be noth- ing to mourn in this showing. The test of a civilization is not how great wealth it gets into the hands of a few, but how well it manages to do for everybody. These millionaires vanished without helping the little fellow, so there is no great gain in losing them. But after awhile, perhaps when the mil- Yonaire has become a relic in his- tory, society will study to lift the ac- tual income of the average man, and will learn to take its pride not in vast fortunes, but in the good for- tune of vast numbers.

In large black letters a new entry has just been posted. It reads: “Spigotty Andy—ace cameraman!” No other identification! * * And here’s the story: For several years letters have been coming into the work-a-day newsreel rooms of Paramount, written in a ludicrous pidgin dialect that was sometimes bad English and sometimes good Spanish. The writer of these missives of- fered to undertake deeds of high adventure reminiscent of the Rich- ard Harding Davis tales. You know —Latin-American revolutions, sol- dier-of-fortune and romance for it- self alone. The letters came from Chile. And, in those offices that perch high over the crowded Broadway pavements, they came to know this chap as “Spigotty Andy.” His letters were so highly amusing they kept up a frequent correspondence. By the way, as a P. S. to each of Andy's letters would be an appeal for raw film. Free, of course! For he was going to be a free lance cam- eraman, * ek * THE BIG CHANCE! A few months ago Andy wrote proudly that he had saved his dol- lars and purchased an up-to-date movie camera. He would be content to cover commercial subjects and that sort of thing until the “big chance” came. ‘Well, it did come! Press dispatches told of revolution in Chile.

He had followed the government troops. They had kept on going, retreating from the city’s’ outskirts. Mot so Andy! He had set ze his camera—and gone on crank- ig! The searching party found his bul- let riddled body slouched over the camera. His hand was frozen to the crank, The other day a tin of film came out of Chile. The projection room gang threw up their hands. The film was useless. It was shot through with holes. Spigotty Andy’s only newsreel will never be shown. But his epitaph might have been found on the honor scroll of the newsreel boys when they met at lunch the other day. As I have said, it read simply: “Spigotty Andy—Ace comeraman.” , TODAY RLD WAR ANNIVERSAR ts) AMERICANS STORM SERGY On July 29, 918, American troops in the Marne sector continued their vic- torious drive across the Ourcq river, storming Sergy, Roncheres and Serin- ges-et-Nestle.

Then Dan said slowly, “You had letters, I suppose? Can I see them?” Impatience crossed Brenda's fore- head. She'd have to get rid of this fool. He was making a nuisance of himself. “I had one letter. Of course,” she agreed sweetly. “But 1 destroyed it long ago. Oh, Dan, if you don't believe me 1 don’t know what I'll do! Nobody's every accused me of such » thing in my life!

Her face twisted angrily. “If you do that you'll be sorry!” she cried. “I'm giving you warning. You can have your old check if you want it. It was only $100 anyhow. What if I did sell the story? It was my name that made them take it— not because it was such a good story. I wish you'd get out of here now. Get out and stay out!” Phillips did not stir. “I'll go,” he said slowly, “as soon as a few more things have been cleared up.” “You're going now!” “Oh, no I'm not! Not for several minutes yet.” There was some thing about the level, unemotional tone that was more alarming than anger, “Perhaps,” he went on, “you've forgotten, Miss Vail, that yesterday you agreed to go away with me.

When he turned he was smiling but it was not a pleasant smile, “That about makes it complete, doesn’t it?” Phillips asked. “You've sold my story and spent the money. The play’s a flop. Now you want me to get out. Yes, I guess that just about makes it complete!” Brenda watched uncertainly. Had she sald too much? She must get him away immediately, no matter how {t was accomplished. She hes!- tated, seeking the right approach. Phillips poured a second cocktail and drank it. “Want me to go, don’t you?” he said easily. “Pretty anxious about that.” “Please go, Dan.
