Pitiful Leadership What pitiful leadership guides the national Farm Holiday Association is demonstrated by the decision to call a farmers’ strike and the subsequent announcement that the effort had been called off “out of respect to the chief executive of the United States and a regard for the opinion of the general public.” The statement is, in effect, a con- fession that the association either had no idea that public opinion would condemn the farm strike at this time or had no regard for it. In either case the situation reflects no credit on Milo Reno, head of the association, or his co-workers in this peculiar attempt to lead the farmers into a new promised land. Declaration by Reno that “The president's statement, which in ef- fect is a command under the powers granted him, should be respected by governors and courts,” further em- phasizes the peculiar mentality of these men. No one has yet accused Roosevelt of being unable to clearly express himself and Reno's attempt to read into the president's plea for patience by both borrower and lender support of the Farm Holiday moratorium idea is a little far-fetched. What the pres- ident did—and what every intelligent business and farm leader has been doing—was to suggest that it was ‘oth good business and sound pa- triotism to wait until the new farm tefinance program can be made ef- fective. Efforts to interpret his declaration in any other way smack of propaganda. The president has no power to sus- Pend the general laws or to create mew ones. All of the things he has done to date have been with the au- thority of law. Where the law did this campaign of destruction and fomenting of unrest has taken is toward the international banker. The bankers have been pointed to as responsible for making loans, known to be worthless, to foreign governments, for the purpose of Profiting from the sale of the se- curities. “It cannot be denied that there have been excesses in the placing of foreign loans. This has re-. sulted, however, as much from the demands of the public as from the negligence of the bankers, The pre-depression era of unpre- cedented prosperity lulled both bankers and investors into a sense of false security. The speculative spirit was rife and an avid public demanded and absorbed large quantities of foreign bonds, yield- ing in the main a much higher return than funds invested in do- mestic securities. “In the world’s economic ma- chinery it is essential to progress that there be included an agency for the collection of the surplus funds of one country and their employment for profitable and constructive purposes in areas un- dergoing development. Idle credit is useless. It should be remem- bered that had it not-been for the great influx of foreign cap- ital following the Civil War, the United States could not have at- tained its ultimate position of in- dustrial supremacy and probably would not be the strong and closely-knit nation it is today. The function of collecting and distributing capital internationally falls to the investment banker, and without the loans made to Europe following the war, it is likely that the world would be in a more chaotic state than at the present.” If the remarks were made by Rich- ard Whitney, president of the New York Stock Exchange, or some one similarly placed they would seem to carry their own answer. But when they are made by a la- boring man, who has been honored as such by his fellows, they take on an entirely different character. They make all of us wonder a little if we are not to blame for some of the troubles which beset us. The same troubles, by the way, for which most of us have blamed the other fellow exclusively. Beware Contained in the editor's mail is a circular from a Chicago firm which asks the alluring question: “Do you know that you can purchase an op- tion on 5,000 bushels of wheat, corn, oats or rye for as little as a ten dol- lar bill?” ‘The question may or may not con- tain information for the average North Dakotan but it does carry about it, for those who give the matter a second thought, the suggestion that ten dollars is much too small with which to finance an option on 5,000 bushels of any grain. The remainder of the circular is a Plain invitation to gamble on the grain market with the aid of a “spe- cial pamphlet”’ which the obliging firm will send without charge. It is not pessimism to suggest that whoever takes one of these gambles should be prepared—should even ex- pect—to lose his money. With so small a margin the slightest fluctua- tion in the market would wipe out the ten-spot, even if it were invested not permit him to do as he wanted he has asked for new ones, or changes in old statutes which would grant such permission. Mr. Roosevelt is a constitutional president, acting in a constitutional manner. His character and training will permit him to be nothing else. Congress is granting him the pow- ers which he has asked, but if it did not we would have no spectacle of the president overstepping his legal authority. In this great crisis he has become the moral and social as well as the Political leader of his country, His Tequest for patience and for no hasty disturbance of the status quo was an exercise of his unofficial leadership of this nation. On Saturday morning Mr, Reno was inclined to sneer at this phase of the president’s power. He wasn't satisfied with the declaration and said so. But the rest of the nation thought it sufficient and so Reno and his followers yielded to public opinion. They may not realize it, but the very public opinion which they mention Probably found root in the same statement which so signally failed to impress them. There is a signal difference between. the exercise of leadership and the usurpation of power. Defending the Devil An old farm saying is “It makes & lot of difference whose ox is gored,” and conversely it makes a lot of dif- ference who says a thing. For a financier to defend the much berated international banker, for ex- ample, would bring only scoffs and Jeers. For a laboring man to do so gives food for thought. It is on this basis that a recent statement by D. B. Robertson, presi- dent of the Brotherhood of Locomo- tive Firemen and Engineers, attracts more than passing attention. Rob- ertson is representative of, if not ac- tually speaking for, a large body of American workmen who, by no stretch of the imagination can be classed as financiers, Commenting on the world financial situation and America’s relation to it, Robertson said: “An era of economic difficulty is peri courenrnen to fessional representative of “a 5 4s the time he accuse ‘big through control of capital, of con- niving to exploit the nation. “The most recent turn which in a grain option by the broker as per instructions.

Address Dr. William Brady, THE BICYCLE IS A VERY GOOD SIGN It begins to look as though (credit us for not saying like) the bicycle is coming back. Whether this is in any great measure due to the depres- sion and a return of sanity to an extravagant people, I am not quali- fied to opine, but I hope‘not. I hope the bicycle is gaining popularity be- cause it is so convenient, so pleasant, so healthful and so economical ® means of getting about. At first it seemed that bicycle rid- ing was a pastime for the idle rich, in their various winter, summer, spring and fall resorts. Then the young children began to ride about in the quieter suburbs on fine days. Finally older people began timidly mounting the youngsters’ bikes to see. whether they had forgotten how to ride. And so the jolly old wheel is fast gaining the place it deserves in our daily life. For its health value alone—there should be a bicycle or two in every garage. You absorb oxy- gen as you push your bike about, and take my unsubsidized word for it there is nothing in all materia medica better for autointoxication than a lit- tle more oxygen than you will ever get driving a motor vehicle. ‘A while ago I received @ visit from a gentleman 83 years of age, & poet and philosopher, an author and man of keen intellect.

W. McC.) Answer—No, I should advise you to stick with the family physician’s course. Good medical treatment and regulation of the general hygiene by the physician will bring about cure in most cases of exophthalmic goitre. Good Judgment All the best operators I have seen agree that it requires four, five or six treatments for each tonsil, if one is to avoid excessive reactions and sore throats. Perhaps it is undue haste to complete the treatment that explains the unsatisfactory experience of some physicians with this method. (C. A. P., M. D.) Answer—The most positive protest I have received from a patient came from a lady who said that the one treatment she had, which produced such a severe sore throat that she never wanted another, removed about two-thirds of one tonsil. Dr. Bungle should not attempt to give such treat- ment. Pasteurized to Raw “You recommended the use of raw (not certified) milk for children. We recently d from pasteurized to raw. One of the children has since had a rash on his cheek. We wonder if the raw milk is responsible for this? (D. J. A) Answer—Certified milk is always the best for anybody, if it is available. I recommend the use of raw milk ONLY when your physician or your local health officer tells you the grade you propose to use is safe. I do not think the use of raw milk can have to do with ‘skin rash.

The statement from the White House promising a reconsideration of some of the reductions previously or- dered explains that the president's action is in line with his original pledge that regulations and schedules would be drafted “to effect the most humane possible treatment of veter- ans purely disabled in war service.” Louis Johnson, national commander of the American Legion, has indi- cated to the president that this pledge, in all cases, has not been car- ried out and Mr. Roosevelt apparently agrees that a careful study of the effects of the new order is warranted. If this study should uncover only a comparatively few injustices to the war-disabled veterans, it will have accomplished @ worthy end. The na- tion, no less than the president him- self, is anxious to keep faith with those veterans whose disabilitieg, be- cause they were incurred in service, set them apart as a group deserving of the utmost consideration.

I bor- rowed it from Dwight Gwin.” Raymond wrinkled his forehead. “You don’t want to get under any obligations to those fellows. If I was you, Lily Lou, I’d pay that fellow, soon as you get back.” “With what, Raymond?” “Well, with the first money you get.
