Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, BREWER (Incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Two Cabinets Fall Downfall of the cabinets in France and Germany brings to light anew the troubled and tangled condition of European politics. It also gives new proof of the relative emotional sta- bility of the Nordic peoples and their genius for self-government. To be sure the results of the last election in this country represented the downfall of a certain group in government, but that event did not come quickly or as the result of dis- Satisfaction over a single issue. It was a thing which grew and grew and by many the chastisement was administered in the well known spirit of “this hurts me as much as it does you.” For better or for worse we have committed ourselves to the hands of a certain group for the next four years. Whatever the outcome we shall abide by the decision. The recent history of France and Germany demonstrates pretty con- clusively that they do not know what they really want. The life of recent French governments has been meas- ured in days or weeks rather than in months or years and in Germany the situation is little different. The group which helped to overthrow a govern-/| ment yesterday comes to power today and is itself overthrown tomorrow. This is not true in England, how- ever. The coalition cabinet has been stable ever since the abandonment of the labot group ty Premier McDonald and others and there seems little in- dication of a change in the near fu- ture. This despite the fact that con- ditions are comparatively worse in England than in France. National temperament must have @ great deal to do with it. The Prench are mercurial. They demand both this and that when they can have only one of the two things. They are less trustful of their leaders, more inclined to individualistic rather than cooperative action. The Legislature’s Problem Unbiased estimate of the situation which confronts the present session of the state legislature leads to the conclusion that it cannot solve all of the problems which are presented to it. No legislature could. This situation is true in other states as well as in North Dakota. Honest In such cases everything is “on the fire” and there is always the proba- bility that the most persistent will get the rewards. Even the citizen who is seeking a Job can feel a little sorry for the executive who faces this strain along with the duties which are ascribed to the office by law. But as we condole with the various jgovernors we might get ready to shed a few tears for the man who is going to face the hardest task of all—as well as the most job-seekers. The railroads are already looking forward to a rush in the direction of Wash- ington on or about the fourth of March. Count Smith Out? Al Smith, interviewed in Washing- ton, apparently takes himself out of the list of cabinet possibilities by an- nouncing that he would not accept such an offer because he is “head of as many things now as I want to 'be.” | Whether he would insist on this stand if he really were pressed to become chief of one of the federal departments may be a debatable question, but the governor always has {been a man of his word and the pros- \pect of having a brown derby parked on the hatrack in a corner of the White House meeting room is at least questionable. The decision will disappoint a great {many of Smith's admirers who feel that he could render signal service to the nation as a member of the cab- inet. Smith's antecedents and ex- Perience brand him as very much one {of the common people, interested in their welfare and familiar with their Problems. His humble beginnings are so fresh in his mind that he not only sympathizes with the trials of the every-day man, he feels with him and thinks with him. Therein has lain the secret of Smith's political success and if the nation ever needed that attribute in public life it is now. President-elect Roosevelt is un- questionably a liberal. He may go down in history as a great one, but his is an academic interest as com- pared with that of Smith. He resents the fact that poverty exists in a land where it need not exist, but he has never felt its pinch. His heart bleeds for those who need bread, but hunger has never gnawed at his own vitals. As an orphaned boy on New York's waterfront, Smith not only saw these things, he experienced them. They are an essential part of him. As a member of the cabinet that experi- ence would be carried with him into the meeting room and from its store of knowledge would come a viewpoint which would be of real benefit to the nation. Thousands of loyal Americans will hope that Al will not insist on his stand or that Mr. Roosevelt will per- suade him that the country really needs his services. Nothing new under the sun. Dr. Lloyd Armold of Illinois reminds us that the first technocrat was Rich- ard Arkwright of England, born of poor and humble parentage more than 200 years ago. It was not only a theory with him, however. He became one of the rich- est men of his time. He did not merely survey energy, he used it and was among the first to demonstrate the power of the technician. Now that Japan, a member of the League of Nations, has invaded China, those who opposed the entry of the United States into that union should feel that they did this nation a distinct service. So far the League has functioned only in issues that are not highly controversial.

What was perhaps the most pretentious of all such research projects set forth from John Hopkins some three years ago, acclaimed by half-page and page articles in the Sunday supplements and imposing in- terviews of the head mountebanks, but, once the big quest got under way the world heard no more of it. I suspect the objective was attained when the last half-page of available space was exhausted. Although the self-desig- nated savants who staged the big shindy announced that they sought the cause of the common cold, none of them ventuggd to define the dis- ease entity. I'm whatever you please to call me in respect to “the common cold.” I deny that such an ailment occurs. Of course I don’t know what ailment I am talking about—neither do you and {neither does any physician or health authority in the country. No one can define “the common cold.” No one dares to commit himself about it. The boys who get the publicity, or maybe the salaries or maybe the en- dowments for researches on the ques- tion, prefer to leave it as is, They in- sinuate that any iam fool knows what the common cold is. All right, if you know. One of our great metropolitan medical societies publishes in the press an elucidation of the nature and cause of “colds,” based on the quaint premise that “many kinds of germs are present in the air we breathe’— iwhich is a false premise, an un- founded assumption, for we know that the few bacteria in the air are harm- j less to man, and there is no good rea- son to imagine that any disease is ever carried in or by the air or spread by germs floating in the air. I cite this ridiculous teaching because it is sponsored by one of our great official medical organizations, and it is a fair illustration of the sort of nonsense the present day medical and health “au- thorities” utter about this great bug- aboo. ‘The truth is that nobody knows what a “cold” is. (Never mind my own belief that it isn’t.) And since no one knows what he is talking about when he expatiates on this subject, what is to hinder him from offering his own funny notions about it to the public? Nothing but the restrictions of space in the papers or time on the air. Hence the comedy. Lest Mr. and Mrs. Wiseacre miss the jlesson, I beg to reaffirm by own opin- ion that exposure to cold and wet has nothing to do with any human ail- ment save frostbite, and that the all too common ailments erroneously at- tributed to that cause are in reality respiratory infections, such as meas- les, diphtheria, influenzé, poliomyeli- tis, meningitis, whooping cough, quinsy, and 2 dozen other clearly de- FLAPPER, FANNY SAYS: 4 fined though less familiar conditions. Because you can't tell at the onset which respiratory infection you may be developing, I suggest that you call it “eri,” until the diagnosis is made.

New York, Jan, 30.—In the late hours of @ recent afternoon I “crash- ed” a party which Prince Mike was giving for his “inner circle.” Since the “prince of imposters” has never hesitated to appear if and when he chose, I saw no reason why I should. A friend had whispered that Mike, back from the Elba of Ellis Island and with a theatrical contract in his pocket, was entertaining for his “cronies.” The press, tagging at his heels of late, had not been asked.
