Electing the president you want may not help you much, since the economic machinery by which your life is conditioned rests not in the hands of politicians but in the hands of bankers, industrial- ists and promoters whom you can’t possibly get at. We need to redefine our concept of freedom; and, having done so, to find new ways of making sure that we can get it. 300 Miles an Hour It is being predicted that the speed trials at the forthcoming National i 00 | Air Races will see new speed records |set for land planes. Last year a mark jof 236 miles an hour was hung up; Planes being prepared for this year’s 50 | races will hit a full 300-mile-an-hour clip, tions. according to advance indica- ing swiftness are reached, it is ap- parent that quite as much depends on the pilot as on the plane. Whirl- ing along at a clip like that is a ter- rific strain on the man at the con- trols. The slightest defect in the plane, the slightest bit of carelessness or faulty judgment on the part of the pilot, inevitably means disaster— swift, final and inescapable. That planes can be built to travel that fast is a tribute to modern de- {signers. That men can be found to fly them is a tribute to the daring and skill of the aviators themselves, 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, Railroads and Hoover Plan (The Traffic World) The railroads have “passed the buck” with respect to President Hoo- state or county, will take turns at/Ver's plan for bringing back prosper- keeping it in condition, much after the manner in which township roads have been built and maintained at certain times in the past. If it should come to that, there will be ample precedent for it, for North Dakotans have had to get along without money in the past and to find some basis for exchanging goods and labor without a cash trans- action. Recentiy, when two veterans of the commercial wars met in Bismarck, they were heard to exchange remarks about a time in the not-so-long-ago when each had a job but did not get any money for months at a time. A man who was known to be “good” issued script and it was taken at face value by merchants in exchange for goods. Just what the merchant did with it was not explained. At the same time, according to this overheac conversation, an elevator jured business away from its competi- tors by paying $5 in cash for every load of grain, the balance of the amount due being represented by elevator script. Where the crisp, new five-dollar bills came from mystified the competitors who could not get any, so the story goes. At the present time, the city of Syracuse, New York, has adopted a plan of “working it out” to enable home owners to keep their property from being sold for taxes, If a man has no job and cannot pay his taxes he is put on the payroll at $4 a day until his debt to the city is dis- charged. There are undoubted objections to these systems but necessity is the mother of invention in a financial way as well as in other fields. It will be surprising if the next legisla- tive session is not called upon to do some inventing on rather a grand scale for the benefit of North Dakota farmers. And how these attempts will work out will be a question of more than academic interest. Freedom Anyone can tell you that the aver- age American insists on having free- dom. It isn’t always quite as easy as it might be, though, to get a good definition of just what freedom is nowadays. Professor Carl Becker of Cornell touched on that point in a recent ad- dress at Columbia university. Wax- ing slightly sarcastic, he remarked: “The average man is free to govern himself by voting for candidates se- lected for him by professional poli- ticians who make a living out of the spoils of office. “He is free to take any job that offers, if any offers. If none offczs, he is free to hunt for a job which, if All of this simply emphasizes the fact that freedom, in a highly com- plex civilization like the one in which we are living now, can have an en- tirely different meaning than it had @ century ago. In the old days freedom for the common man was rather easily ob- First of all, he was given the ‘and it was thereby made cer- ity by referring it to the individual roads. This, of course, is where it would have to go under any circum- stances, for the association of rail- way executives could not well bind all the roads for any road to borrow money of the Reconstruction Finance corporation or anywhere else. The association, however, could have en- jorsed the plan and thus given it the | Weight of its approval with its con- ;Stituent members and the public. That it has not done so is a matter for con- gratulation. Perhaps some of the roads will borrow money under the Plan suggested, but probably most of them will not. If the interest rate is reduced below the figure now asked and if it is true that the roads that borrow would not be called on to pay until the equipment bought or re- paired with the borrowed money was put into use, the plan is not ‘quite so bad as it first appeared but it is still, in our opinion, a fictitious and un- warranted scheme for endeavoring to | restore an appearance of prospcrity. | If any of the roads do borrow under |this plan, we do not know how many of them will be influenced by honest opinion that the president's scheme for bringing back prosperity is sound, and how much by other considera- tions—such as fear to refuse to com- ply with a request or suggestion from the president of the United States; we ;do not know how much President Hoover, in proposing the plan, is in- fluenced by sincere belief that it is a good plan and how much by politics— since he is a candidate for reelection and an appearance of restoration of | Prosperity would do much for him jand his party; we do not know how much those who joined him in advo- cating the plan were influenced by blind sincerity and how much by ul- terior motives—since some of them are in the railway supply business, di- dectly or indirectly, and some depend on the president for consideration of One sort or another; but we are con- vinced that, to the extent that the railroads borrow money from the Re- coustruction Finance corporation to recondition equipment that is not now used or in immediate prospect of be- ing used, or to use for any other pur- pose for which a good business man, in similar financial predicament, would not think it wise to make ex- Ppenditures out of borrowed money, on which he must pay interest, they will make a grave financial error. The only way in which their action could possibly seem to justify itself would be by a quick and unexpected revival of traffic so that the reconditioned equipment would be needed and the other expenditures warranted. If that happened they would, of course, be just lucky, though they might pic- ture themselves as far-seeing. We hope, for the sake of all concerned, that it will happen, but we do not be- lieve it will. The return of prosperity, even when started on its way, is a slow process, and it is not even cer- tain that it has started, though the indications seem to be in that direc- tion. If there ever was a false economic theory it is that the way to bring about prosperity is to employ men that are not needed and spend money for things that cannot be put to good use. Sound prosperity can be based only on legitimate demand for com- modities by people who have the money to pay for them. An appe: ance of prosperity, to be sure, can be created, for a time, by schemes such as the one we are discussing, but they can result in nothing but calam- ity in the end, unless those partici- ating in them are so fortunate to be overtaken by a real return of busi- ness before it is too late. President Hoover has always been an advocate of this method of hoist- ing business by its bootstraps. When PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE _ By William Brady, M. D.

If occasionally one of these birds fal- ters in his faith in the yogis, some quack waving his title of “Doctor” all over the place is sure to bring the straggler back to his senselessness by telling him his blood contains too much acid. Far be it from me to grapple with any chemist over a question of chem- istry, but I yield to nobody on a ques- tion of human physiology, and I know darn weli that no physiologist will dispute my assertion that acidosis simply does not happen from the habit or custom of eating meat. That is one undebatable fact that has been established by the greatest experi- ment ever made upon human sub- jects, namely, the scientific observa- tion and study by a corps of experts of Messrs. Stefansson and Andersen while they subsisted for a year on an exclusive meat dict. I am aware that acidosis can hap- pen, and when it does happen it is @ grave state which demands heroic emergency measures. But I am equally certain no competent physi- cian or health expert will contradict me when I assert that so far as we know a state of acidosis is invariably @ consequence of some serious illness and never a cause of illness. Theoretically, if you are willing to monkey with your nutrition on a con- Latter day food or diet professors both within and without the medical ranks can haul off and tell you like jectural basis, the normal acid-base or acid-alkali balance of the blood and tissues may swing now a little mere to the acid side, now a little more to the alkaline side, from day vaudeville; to day or from hour to hour, and this is probably the normal course, depending not alone upon the char- {Which make your system alkaline.

But all this is automatically regulated, just as is the height of the blood pressure or the temperature of the body, and sensible folk will never bother their heads about it. No one likes baloney more than I do, when it is not stale or not sliced too thick. But in the interest of everybody's health I think it is high time to put an end to all this baloney the charlatans are handing out in reference to acidosis. I can’t for the life of me understand why the meat people stand back as though ashamed of themselves while the fruit people sell the public this obsession about acidosis.

At a party given by Major Blount of S. Army, Ted meets Paco Morales, ruling power of Mexico, and his beautiful niece, Adela.

S. cavalry will join in the search for A wounded Mexican, believed to be one of El Coyote’s band, is captured. Ted is stunned to learn his father died penniless. Bob attributes the failure of Ted’s father’s Mexican irrigation project to Morales, whose reign would have ended with its success. Late that night Bob goes out. Next morning Major Blount reports that the wounded Mexican has escaped. Bob Ted nodded. “There's one thing I remember dad talked once of a piece of land over in Mexico that he either owned or and all this morning, but I can’t.

What can the little fellow do? The law—there’s no law down here that can take care of a poor man against one of these well-en- trenched lords of the land. Look what happened night before last. Morales has finally succeeded in get- ting the United States government to declare El Coyote an outlaw. It makes me damned tired. What we are really doing is helping Morales keep this land enslaved until he owns every peon, body and soul.” “How does Morales go about it?” “In a thousand ways. There are plenty of ways of bullying a lone man and his family when you have a hundred cowboys at your back, ‘Ways of making his waterholes un- fit to drink, and ways of stampeding his steers or driving them across his farm crops. They've all been tried. There have been clashes and some shooting. And the little fellow al- ways got the worst of it until El Coyote came. Then one fine day he appeared from somewhere—no one knows where—gathered a band of followers, and served notice that the border country was meant for men, not cattle.” “But can he carry it through?” “No one knows. But listen: not long ago some of Morales’s outfit set fire to the haystack of a farmer down in the valley. They figured if they destroyed his cattle feed the farmer would have to move out—| Yaat would mean more ranges for Morales. El Coyote promptly sent word that unless Morales paid the man five hundred pesos he would regret it. Morales sat tight and swore by all his saints he would see the Coyote in hell. Well, we all waited, pretty sure something would blow up. The following week two of Morales’s barns were burned, and. a day or two later one of Morales’s paymasters was halted and exactly five hundred pesos taken.
