(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, BREWER (Incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Republican Worries Managers of the Hoover publicity bureaus are doing a lot of worrying for the Democrats relative to Alfred E. Smith's attitude toward Governor Roosevelt. It is very apparent that the Democrats are not worrying very} much. Most of Smith's friends, with the exception of Raskob, who is really a Republican, and Shouse, who has a personal grievance, are active behind Roosevelt. The Republicans should cease wor- rying over Smith w after all, will support the party in his own way and turn their attention to some real worries of their own. How about Borah of Idaho? He is a wounded Achilles in their own camp. How) about Norris? How about Hiram Johnson? How about Brookhart, de- feated but not without a following in Towa? How about Nye? These are only a few of the insur- gents in the Republican camp whose defection, expressed or tacit, should give the Republican managers much more worry than the silence and in- activity of Alfred E. Smith. There is humor in some of the publicity coming from the pens of William Allen White and Former United States Senator Allen, both of Kansas. They are directing the pub- licity and the scribes under them are indignant because Roosevelt referred to Hoover's utterances on prohibition as “pussycat” words. In all their starched dignity, they proclaim that the word “pussycat” should never be used in referring to anything of aj presidential nature. Lese majesty of the most extreme type, they call it. On the other hand, the busy scrib-| blers in the publicity bureau of the} Democratic national committee point | to the fact that Republican publicity | sheets refer to “Jack” Garner as “Pork Barrel” Garner. Now, is that nice, they say. If you can call our “Jack,” “Pork Barrel” we can refer to Hoover's words as “pussycat.” ‘That's that. It all goes to show what small triv- jal things often motivate a political campaign. Political spell-binders shoot at very small targets and ne-j{ glect some of the burning issues. Voters this year are in a critical mood. Cheap sophistry and low po- litical epithets, from whatever quar-| ter, are not going to weigh as much| as an earnest dignified discussion of| the issues. The Republicans have to give an honest accounting of their steward- ship. They will be weighed on the record and if found wanting they will be defeated, whether Smith sulks in his Tammany tepee or Hoover hedges} on the dry issue. The campaign is going to cut more deeply than all that. There are 10 million men on nig-/ gardly charity. Many farmers are! selling their products below cost.| ‘Thousands of incomes have been cut | in half. Salaries have been halved and quartered. i What conditions brought this about | and what are the solutions? There is| the nub of the issue and at this time it is @ Republican party worry and not a Democratic one. That should be clear to everyone. Minnesota’s Land Problem ‘With millions of acres of cut-over timber lands, Minnesota now is seek- ing facts upon which to base a sound public land policy, according to in- formation from our sister state. Recently W. T. Cox, conservation commissioner, announced that specu- lators are selling these lands, thou- sands of acres of which are unfit for agriculture, to homeseekers, making handsome profits at the inevitable cost of misery for an entire family and possible the wrecking of many ves, He suggested that this activity by the speculators be curbed and that the ‘Jand, now possessed by the state or wounties for non-payment of taxes, be | turned over to the state for’ develop- ‘ment as commercial timber property, 50jand under approximately the same acres of such land by 1940 and that the amount might eventually reach 10,000,000 acres. His project, easier to talk about than to realize of course, contemplates the forests as sclf-sup- porting like those of Sweden, Finland and Germany which contribute sub- stantially to the wealth of those na- tions, He envisions these new forests as “contributing substantially to local and state revenues, supporting a large and permanent industry, providing a great market for farm produce and attracting more visitors to the state.” Attacking the unemployment prob- lem, the Minnesota American Legion came to the front with a somewhat similar suggestion. It is that the state begin reforestation on a large scale conditions as those advocated by Cox. It would set up camps of 100 men each to do this work. Flood control and water power development would be launched under the same auspices; farm training homes would be estab- lished on large farms to care for men during the emergency and fit them to become self-sustaining at some later period; group farm management projects would take over the thou- sands of acres of foreclosed Minnesota homesteads. Cooperative farming en- terprises would be set up on state- owned lands and about 50 families each, under the direction of a compe- tent leader, would be placed upon them in community endeavor. Prof- its realized by individuals out of such enterprises would be used to finance the purchase of individual tracts. It is improbable that all of those | suggestions will be considered feasi- ble. The graybeards may find numer- ous objections as to the methods pro- posed and other considerations may exert some influence. Nevertheless, it is apparent that Minnesota cannot long go forward with millions of acres of idle land and any attmept to attain a solution is welcome. Because it is a more populous state and the character of its land is some: what different, Minnesota's problem is different from that which we shall have to face, sooner or later, here in North Dakota. But our state, too, has millions of acres under state control and under foreclosure by the state and private agencies. We, too, shall have to adopt a sound and permanent land policy. The beginning which may be made by our neighbor on the east will be well worth watching. In one respect, at least, Minnesota is well ahead of us. The people there have come to recognize that the land policy problem is a major one and upon its successful solution may de- pend their future welfare. North Da- kota is only now beginning to realize that the question which we face is really a vital one. Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the tre: of thought by other editors. Th are published without regard to whether they agree or disagree with The Tribune's policies. Not ‘Sent For’ (New York Times) Secretary Hurley, doubtless for the Purpose of correcting an impression | that prevails at Republican head- quarters and elsewhere, has been good enough to inform the country that Gov. Gen. Roosevelt's announced re- turn from the Philippine Islands, from which he will sail on Sept. 15, | is solely the result of his own wish and will. He was not “sent for.” So,' in spite of his attachment to the| Islanders and theirs to him, his} known ardent interest in his labors, the pleas of the convention of pro- vinclal governors, of the Manila City Council, of the Legislature, that he remain, the dificult problems that are | still unsettled, he feels that he must depart. The appointment of a Vice Governor the other day was notice of the step. “Circumstances,” says the Governor General, “have made it necessary for me to return for a brief period to the United States.” Those circumstances, as Secretary Hurley so plausibly tells us, must be sought in the Governor General's own mind. For some mysterious, and pre- sumably subconscious, motive he would rather intermit the work into| which he has thrown himself with) so much zeal and success, and which | requires so much continuity of pur- Pose and residence, than lose the op- portunity of making stump speeches in the United States and of convinc- ing ignorant Republicans that the Governor at Albany is not “the only original” Roosevelt. Such a prefer- ence in a man who has shown his ad- ministrative talent and who holds one of the greatest administrative offices in the world is too eccentric to be be- lieved—otherwise than officially. The Governor General will come because he was sent for and because he has} to come. The country is used to diplomatists who spend their “vacation” in serving their party. and saving the country; but that the Governor General of the Philippines, charged with the gravest responsibilities, plunged in a contin- ual welter of perplexities, should be taken from his post to spellbind is something new in the art of political campaigning. Yet “everything goes” in politics. Secretary Hurley's unex- Pressed but implicit notion of volun- tary draft may be humorous enough to reconcile a little those of us who dislike to see the Governor General of the Philippines a traveling lecturer managed by the Republican National Committee.

THE TREATMENT OF PARIETAL NEURALGIA | In two earlier articles we discussed intercostal neuralgia and gave some} idea of the frequency with which it| is mistaken for appendicitis, gall- stones, kidney colic, colitis, ete. To-/ day we offer suggestions for the re- lief of this misleading neuralgia of the wall of chest or abdomen. Per- haps we should explain that the term “intercostal” means between the ribs, there being a spinal nerve just under the lower border of each of the 12 ribs on each side of the body, the up- per six pairs supplying the chest wall | and the lower six pairs the abdominal wall and buttocks. There is some truth in the aphor-| ism “Neuralgia is the nerve for better | blood.” In anemia the nerve cries) for richer blood; in the toxemia of | acute infectious illnesses such as ton- sillitis, influenza, and of chronic focal infection, the nerve cries for purer | blood. The successful treatment of parietal neuralgia, especially the kind} that produces spurious “heart” pain, most commonly in women, requires} that the cause of the anemia be dis- covered and remedied and the anemia properly treated. In many cases the neuralgia is} caused by some silent or untrouble- some focus of infection about the) teeth, tonsils, pelvic organs or rectum. | The source of the toxemia must be} searched out and eradicated or dis- | infected, though not necessarily by an} operation, for nowadays the desired result may be obtained with dia- thermy in many instances where for- merly radical surgery was the only remedy. In chronic parietal neuralgia com- plete examination of the stripped pa- tient will often disclose scoliosis dateral curvature), lordosis (exces- sive swayback) or spinal arthritis. In scoliosis, a commonly unrecognized condition in children and young adults of poor physical education, one leg is shorter, or one hip is high- er, or one shoulder is higher than the other. Sometimes the mere ele- vation of the heel of the short leg by means of a lift on the shoe will re- lieve neuralgia of the body wall after | all ordinary remedies have proved dis- appointing. Both scoliosis and lordo- sis require special exercises adapted to the correction of the special weak- nesses involved. Even in the spinal arthritis cases such exercises may be beneficial. But one of the best treat- ments for spinal arthritis is a very mild X-ray exposure, 15 per cent of erythema dose, over the spinal origin of the nerve or nerves involved, once weeklv for half a dozen times. Besides suitable exercises to correct curvature of the spine, a good deal of benefit is gained in any case of chronic parietal neuralgia by putting weight on the undernourished pa- tient. It is advisable in many in- stances to resort to insulin treatment to accomplish this, A gain of 15 to} 20 pounds is quite likely to put an end to the pains. Physicians with experience in the use of insulin to enable underweight persons to put on flesh give from 5 to 15 units of in- sulin daily without unpleasant reac- tions of any kind. Of all the medicines used for tem- porary relief of neuralgic pain, I be- lieve aspirin is the least harmful, but even this analgesic should be taken only when the patient can remain at rest, sitting down or lying down.

British forces advanced on a four- mile front south of Havrincourt wood, taking positions which dominated the wood they had taken the previous day. On other sectors of the British front, activity was confined to trench raids and minor gains. An American advance which had been rapidly developing near St. Go- bain was practically stopped by sev- eral German reserve divisions. French troops reported minor gains across the Crozat canal.
