Changing Government One wonders, as President Roose- velt seeks permission to make tariff deals, if he does not regret the ne- cessity for asking additional grants of power. The people have supported him so wholeheartedly and congress has responded so nobly to the public's demand that the president must re- gret the necessity which compels him to ask more authority in dealing with our foreign neighbors. But the simple fact-is he can do nothing else. When the American delegates engage in conference around the council table at the economic par- ley it must necessarily be a game of give and take. Viewed from any angle it will be the biggest poker game in history for the highest stakes on rec- ord. If our players are to be even re- motely successful they must be free from the supervision of second-guess- ers, many of them with political axes to grind. Hence Mr. Roosevelt, in ef- fect, is asking for advance ratifica- tion of the commitments which Amer- ica may make at London. * eO* ‘Three of the men already slated to be named on the delegation will stand for many of our blunders and ex- travagances, Under the new system the execu- tive really become what the word im- plies, The congress still sets the pol- icy but the executive branch of the government determines how that pol- icy shall be carried out and the details of administratioun. . It has developed a lot more speed than was the case of old and it would not be surprising if it worked much better. It will have to do so in order to justify itself. Hot Weather Precautions The general arrival of warm weath- er brings a new rush of business to the old swimming hole again; and this, very shortly, will bring the usual number of drownings unless the swim- mers, juvenile and otherwise, pay at- tention to a few simple rules of safe- ty. We already have had one “swim- ming hole” fatality in Burleigh coun- ty this year. It isn’t wise to go suddenly into cold water when you are overheated, or when you have just finished a meal. It isn’t wise to swim alone in @ spot where no one can help you if you need help. It isn’t wise to dive into a strange pool without first sat- isfying yourself that you aren't apt to land on a hidden rock or snag. It isn’t wise to go in the water when you’re under par physically, or to keep on swimming after you have got cold or tired. Those rules are perfectly obvious, of course, But every year a lot of people who forget to heed them get drowned. Reducing Our Fleet If one cared to be super-patriotic, it would be fairly easy to work up a good bit of excitement over the fact that one-third of the entire U. S. fleet is to be placed in reserve com- mission on July 1, with a reduction of more than 2000 men in the navy's enlisted personnel. That this reduces the fighting effi- ciency of the fleet goes without say- ing.

But there doesn’t seem to be much teal ground for worry, even 80, Troubled as the world is, moderately competent statesmanship at Washing- ton ought to bring us through the next few years without letting us get. out prominently in the public: mind. Secretary Hull, a highminded gentle- man, is nevertheless a cautious indi- vidual. In poker-playing parlance he “hold ’em close to his chest” and makes no bets in the hope of filling “inside straights.” Senator Johnson of California is a progressive who will command espec- ial respect in the Northwest. A good many people have disagreed with Hiram but none has challenged his sincerity. At the game of political Poker he has proved an expert. ° James M. Cox of Ohio was once his party's candidate for president and has proved himself an able business- man. As publisher of several import- ant newspapers he has made wide contacts and his experience includes three terms as governor of one of the nation’s most populous states. At heart he is a crusader and his efforts at London will be directed toward add- ing @ crowning success to an excellent public record. * * # These men, advised from Washing- ton by the president, will, with their colleagues, be the American govern- ment at London if the grant of pow- er is given the president. They will be able to speak with authority and without the suspicion-creating delay which must always ensue when such matters are subject to review by per- sons remote from the atmosphere in which the arrangements are made. If all the ablest diplomats of his- tory were aligned with America at London, the deal which they might make would hardly meet with univer- sal approval in this country. Where 80 many toes are involved as is the case with the tariff, someone is sure to get stepped on. That is something which we shall have to expect, even though we hope none of the injuries will prove serious. The ultimate re sult for which all of us hope, how- ever, is that the general effect on American agriculture, industry and finance will be good. If that proves to be the case any individual or sec- tional disadvantages will have to be overlooked. xe * In reviewing the tremendous grants of power given and asked by the pres- ident, it is worth noting that we have swerved far from the path of Demo- cracy as practiced in recent years. The checks and balances of the three different branches of the government, still remain, but they are functioning in a different way than has been the case for the past several generations. Our methods of operation are ap- Proaching those of foreign govern- ments where, as long as the parlia- ment retains confidence in the group holding office it is permitted to do pretty much as it pleases. Nevertheless, one wonders if the system which we now have entered is not more in accord with the in- tentions of the constitution makers into a war. A war right now would be @ calamity for us anyway, even if our fleet were twice its present size. Youth’s View of War The Intercollegiate Disarmament. Council recently polled more than 21,+ 000 American college students on the attitude they would take if the Unit- ed States should get into another war. Nearly 39 per cent of the students who Teplied asserted that they would nev- er participate in any war. A slightly smaller number said that they would fight only if the United States were actually invaded, As evidence of a changing attitude on the part of youth toward war, this is extremely interesting. Probably, however, it does not represent as much of @ pacifistic tendency as appears on the surface. Youth is impetuous, vulnerable to strong emotional ap- Peals; it is a safe bet that a good many of these lads who insist they will never fight would find their way to a recruiting station pretty prompt- ly if we actually went to war. The Demand for Autos The recent increase in American most encouraging facts on the whole industrial horizon, To begin with, it is the first gen- uine upturn recorded by the automo- bile industry since the depression be- gan. Secondly, it has come in direct re- Sponse to dealer demand. The man- ufacturers are not forcing cars on their retailers; they are making them because the retailers have discover- ed that the public demand is going up. ‘The cars that are leaving the factor- Jes these days are being sold.

Where Hitler Will Fail (Duluth Herald) To Americans familiar with the Masonic fraternity and its broad un- derlying principles of tolerance and good will to all races, nothing is more indicative of the temporary and flimsy character of Hitlerism than its attempt to instill racial hatreds into German Masonry. i Forced by Hitler and his lieuten- ants, the grand lodges of Germany are reported to have issued an order dissolving all subordinate lodges, af- ter which they are to be reorganized on what Hitler with unconscious irony calls a “purely Christian basis.” That means of course that Jews are to be excluded from German Masonry hereafter, or until Hitler and his fan. atical theories are thrown out. More than that, it bans all Masonry, for no matter what it calls itself after Hitler reorganizes the lodges, it will have no resemblance to an order whose primary principle is the Fath- erhood of God and the brotherhood of man. However, Masons have nothing to than that into which we had drifted. In recent years the president has been a sort of glorified office boy for con- gress, the law-makers telling the ex- cutive branch of the government both what to do and the details of how to do it. This fact has been responsible worry about. Their great order has been attacked before and always has emerged stronger and more influen- tial than ever.

He has a nap every after- noon of one hour and has very nour- ishing food. I wrote you # few weeks ago and I am sorry I neglected to send a stamped addressed envelope.

First because he is small, and again because she can’t understand his ex- traordinary behavior.

There’s a lot of satisfaction for a spoiled child see- ing everybody jump when he calls. ‘This child has very nourishing food, whatever that may mean. It means nothing to us, but perhaps -it implies some kind of insipid proprietary stuff in the mind of the unfortunate child's parents.

Babies under six months of age should sleep from sixteen to eighteen hours a day, the waking periods be- ing only an hour or so long. At the age of a year fourteen to sixteen hours of sleep will be enough, eleven or twelve at night, and two or three hours in the day, in morning and aft- ernoon naps. At the age of two years, the baby still needs the eleven or twelve hours sleep at night and shorter naps of perhaps an hour each forenoon and afternoon. At four years, the child needs the same eleven or twelve hours sleep at night and @ nap of one-half hour once or twice ly. The afternoon nap should be kept up until the child is six or seven years old, and even in older children it is an excellent health habit not to be discouraged. From six to ten years a child can get along with eleven hours sleep every night. From twelve to sixteen years, ten hours sleep is the right ration. The nursing or bottle fed infant should be put to bed immediately after the late afternoon feeding. Older children who have dinner or supper at six or six-thirty may be allowed to pass the time between dinner and bedtime at any quiet amusement or Play, but should not be allowed to WHAT FARM PRODUCT — WiiCH PLANETS: DOES THIS NAME HAVE NO SUGGEST ?

Correspondent writes to a London newspaper from Pomerania to say that he has found that one drop of ordinary iodine taken in a glassful of cold water “prevents most colds if it is taken as soon as the symptoms ap- Pear.” He adds that the same dose re- peated after several hours does no harm, tho in his experience it has seldom proved necessary. I never have these so-called “colds” any more. I wonder if the reason is that I take @ drop of iodine once a week. (D. C. c.)

Keliy as its own, probably because the mellow, pink- faced, genial old trouper typifies just about everything the thoroughfare loves. But the big town has given him little except the alpha and omega of a distinguished career—a start at Tony Pastor's theater in 1899, and now the principal character role in the Pulitzer Prize play, “Both Your Houses.” In all the years between, Walter Kelly has been “The Virginia Judge” (now you remember him), playing every big-time vaudeville house in the The spoiled parents or English-speaking world from Bangor, Maine, to Sydney, Australia, from Portland, Oregon, to Pietermanitz- berg.
