(Official City, State and County | Newspaper) Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, BREWER (Incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Distinguished Lame Ducks No election in the history of the Republic has added so many mem- bers to the lame duck club. Some of them doubtless will get federal appointments, others will retire, probably never to be active in politics again. Senator Moses of New Hampshire, president pro tempore of the senate and goadsman of the sons of the wild Jackasses, has been defeated. In Utah, Senator Smoot, high Priest of the Republican tariff, went down before an avalanche of anti- tariff votes. He may get a federal judgeship but the Mormon church has been urging him to head their eult, which is a wealthy and power- ful organization. Senator Watson, one of the old School politicians, has been retired, also. He is a regular of the regu- lars. There are many other illustrious Republicans who will no longer strut. in the political lime-light. | Added to this plight of the Repub- licans is the breakdown of organ- izations in various states. In Min- nesota, for instance, the Farmer-La- bor party has put both the state De- mocrats and Republicans to rout and will controi things almost absolutely. In North Dakota Republicanism is a label only. That is the designation the voters have been used to seeing at the head of their ticket but it brings with it no party loyalty, Other states can be mentioned in which the Republican organizations have suffered a staggering blow. With defeat goes the loss of patron- age and the building up of a Demo-/ cratic party in former Republican| strongholds. Interest will center now on the re- organization of the Republican party. President Hoover let party lines drift because his conception of the presi- dency was in little sense political.! What crowd will gain control of the Republican party and begin the slow Process of reorganization to face the congressional election two years hence? Will the party purge itself of those insurgents who refused to support: Hoover or will the olive branch be extended? Where will Hiram John- son, the La Follettes, Norris, Cutting an‘ others fit into the new scheme? After the short session the Repub- lican lawmakers returned to office at Washington must caucus and make recommendations to the Democratic machine on committee appointments. Will they accept as Republicans those senators and congressmen who bolted the party? That will be an interesting de- velopment and one that will be watched from many angles. Minnesota Congressmen Failing to secure an effective re- apportionment act, Minnesota con- gressmen in several instances went to the political block. Several heads fell under the swoop of Governor Ol- son's victory. Such veterans as Knudtson, Nolan and Selvig fell by the way-side. * Roosevelt's great vote in Minnesota carried with it the election of but one Democratic congressman, Einar!

Nevertheless, there seems room for the observation that this method of lopping off political heads might well be cast into the discard. One way of impressing upon the electorate the seriousness of the obligation imposed upon them is to let them digest the messes which they occasionally im- Policy would make them more care- ful in selecting their political menus. A Protest Vote | North Dakota, constitutionally dry since statehood, has repealed the pro- hibition clause in the constitution. As long es the nation was wet, North Dakota has never been dry. It is not dry today any more than is any other state. Blind pigs and speakeasics are to be found within its borders, Prohibition has always been a gest: ure in this as in other states. The great popular vote probably will cause some enforcement officials to abate their vigilance somewhat in! ferreting out law violators. A per- functory attitude in many instances will replace a militant one. When national prohibition is re- be in line to regulate the traffic and prevent any return of the saloon. There is still a hard battle ahead for the wets. This congress of lame ducks may take the election of Roosevelt as a mandate to revise the liquor laws, but. there is grave doubt that this ad- ministration will tinker much with that issue at the present short ses- sion of congress. ‘The Democrats have given a very definite pledge on the issue, how- ever, and the liquor laws undoubted- ly will be among the first considered by the new congress, largely to secure a source of revenue which will be badly needed, as the national deficit is rolling up day by day. Congress is to have Magnus John- son of Minnesota back again. He once made the senate rafter§ shake with a voice developed in a glass- blowing factory. The senate also has} developed some very good voices. All} Politicians, however, should practice glass blowing. Look where it got Magnus. The wets are doubtful of getting beer by Christmas but there still is hope.

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 polict 7 The Scottsboro Case (New York Times) Yesterday's decision by the supreme court ordering a new trial for the seven Negroes under sentence of death in Alabama turned wholly up- on “due process of law.” The right | to it in all matters affecting life and property is guaranteed by the consti- tution to the humblest citizen of the United States. Other alleged grounds of appeal were urged upon the su- preme court, but all of them were brushed aside. Did the convicted youths have a fair trial? That was the question into which the supreme court looked painstakingly, assem- bling all the relevant facts, before it decided in the negative. The opin- ion was written by Mr. Justice Suth- erland, who has often been called the most “reactionary” member of | the supreme court, so that it cannot | be set down to a weak sentimental- ism. Neither can it have been due to the outcry in Washington and in | other cities, as well as in Moscow and by European Communists, as- serting that a spirit of wicked class | prejudice pervades the United States, and that here no justice can be had | for the poor and ignorant. Taking | no notice of all this, the supreme court, with only two judges dissent- ing, found that the ordinary methods of a fair trial had not been followed in the state courts, and that there- fore a new trial, under proper safe- guards, must be given the seven Ne- groes. Nothing was said one way or the other about their guilt or in- | nocence. Only, if they were guilty, | the fact must be proved by fair and equitable procedure in court. However people may feel about the case itself, there will be, we believe, General approval of the lofty posi- tion taken by the majority of the supreme court. That great tribunal Sppears once more as mindful of human rights. Of its jurisdiction it may be said, in the well-known words Such a situation could never have happened had the battle been fought by districts. That Recall Weapon Again the recall has proved an ef- fective instrument for political exe- eution in North Dakote. It was wield- ed in June against Senator W. E.

OF BILE Cholera cholera morbus, cholera| infantum, summer cholera or ar choleric individual is irascible, easily | excited to anger. The word anger) is derived from the same root as is the word angina, which means chok- ing. Melancholy means literally black bile. You see, all these common words were coined by the ancients who had fantastic notions of ana- tomy and physiology, even as cus- tomers of quackery have today. We can't blame the ancients for their ignorance, but wiseacres today lay back their long ears and glory in their ignorance of such things—pre- tend it is rather low to know any- thing about “in‘ards.” Nevertheless the world moves. To- day even a college graduate knows the bile is not the cause or source of anger or irascibility. But who knows what influence anger has up- on the flow of bile? We doctors do. Dr. E. Wittkower made a number of experiments upon human subjects, by means of the duodenal tube, which is a thin tube, smaller than a_ pill and, well, nearly as easy to swallow, such as is commonly employed by Physicians for obtaining uncontam- sis and for the injection of pre- digested food or medicines directly into the duodenum. The investigator would collect the bile that spontane- ously came through the tube in a period of five minutes. Then he con- trived to arouse in the subject some primary emotion, joy, sorrow, anxiety the uninitiated to have to arouse anxiety in the soul of one with a tube right down in his midst and the precious bile escaping through it in- to the scientist’s test-tube. But be- lieve it or not, some patients wear a duodenal tube for hours or days and go about cracking the most ghastly jokes about it. Well, ladies and gentlemen, in more than 20 such experiments this Ger- man physician found that joy, sor- row and anxiety, contrary to what we should expect, actually increased the flow of bile (it must be clearly understood this refers only to the ejection of bile from the gall-blad- der and bile-passages into the duo- denum, and not to the amount or character of the bile secreted in the liver). Anger, on the other hand, caused almost complete cessation of the flow of bile. Wittkower endeavored to learn whether this effect of anger was due the sphincter muscle about the open- bile. (too technical for a layman’s under- passages. which one sometimes feels when very angry. with this spasm? Perhaps. Anyway we know that the digestion of one in anger is affected much the same as is the digestion of one with obstructive jaundice. The ancients ‘had it wrong end to.

One eye already was gone. A staring bit of glass had taken its place. The other eye is all but gone. It can barely make out color. Objects are so many dizzy broken patterns. So Bertha Kalich came back to her East Side theater. She had drawn herself into a state of perfect con- trol. She must remain the great actress to the end! No faltering now. The theater was packed. Her fading eye could detect the glare of Ughts. The huzzahs of the crowd ‘was as of old. The fountain of great emotion had not run dry.

She found that, for some curious reason, the girl was not herself when Gilli was around. Had it not been for this strange ef- fect upon his “old friend,” Jennie Carstairs would have liked him far better. But as it was, her long ex- perience of Europe and Europeans created a little intangible doubt of this almost too correct, and some- times quite evasive young man, in her mind. It was nothing she could lay her finger on and something she kept to herself, even when Collin, losing no time in expressing his dis- approval, informed his mother, in no uncertain terms, that there was something decidedly “fishy” about their new acquaintance. He, too, had noted Gilli’s effect upon the girl he loved. He said to Jennie: “She's afraid of him.” “But,” said Mrs. Carstairs, “that| is nonsense!
