No Cause to Worry Fortunes have been made and lost these last few days as the grain and stock markets have run riot, first leaping upward with unprecedented speed and then tumbling down like a roaring landslide. Many individuals in this part of the country were caught in the col- lapse of the wheat market, seeing profits wiped out at one fell swoop after having already planned what to do with their money. Not so many have a headache as a result of the stock market gyrations, but there are some of those, too. The really important question, however, has nothing to do with the effect on those who gambled their money and either won or lost. It has to do with the men and women who are the producers of the wealth in which we have seen such wild specu- lation these last few weeks. us farther, perhaps, away from the Philosophy of rugged individualism than any other thing that has hap- pened to us. The business executive is answer- able, first of all, to his stockholders, Their money is in his keeping; it’s up to him to give them a return on it, and if he fails they quite properly will remove him. He is answerable, too, in @ less direct way, to his em- Ployes, To be sure, they can’t get at him if he fails them. But their jobs, their bread and butter, their .20| chances to do something with their lives, rest entirely on him, To these allied responsibilities we 00 | are now seeing the necessity of add- ing a third—responsibility to the pub- lic at large. What the industrial executive does 50| affects the whole country, sooner or later. We are in his hands, and if {0} he is a fumbling incompetent we are apt to get dropped. Is it, after all, so far-fetched to suggest that we ought to be able to exercise some contrdl over him? The incompetent business man is just as much a parasite on society as the incompetent politician, and so- ciety ought to have the power to dis- pose of him. It would have been the height of radicalism to say that a year or so ago; today it is nothing but plain common sense. Corrective Measure In view of the complete failure of the charges against three Burleigh county commissioners and the cir- cumstances surrounding the bringing of the action to remove them, it might be a good thing for Governor Langer to apply a little law to the situation and save Burleigh county the cost of this extravaganza in po- litico-economicé. Section 693 of the state political code reads as follows: “When charges are preferred against any of the officers men- tioned in this act by qualified voters other than the state's at- torney or attorney general, as provided in section 686, and upon such hearing it shall appear that such charges were not preferred in good faith, then all of the costs of the proceedings under The farmer, who has seen wheat at Bismarck drop from $1.03 on Mon- day to 74 cents on Thursday, cannot be blamed for getting worried. He has not been a speculator and reaped no profits on the way up and now, within . few weeks of time to sell his scant crop, the bottom falls out of the market. The outlook is truly discouraging unless one looks beyond the imme- diate fact to the causes for the great boom market and the subsequent shattering of the price fabric. When one understands that supply and de- mand had very little to do with the rise he can hardly blame basic con- ditions for the fall. It has been apparent all along that Speculative buying by the public, mostly on a margin basis, has been responsible for the sharp rise in prices. For some reason or other @ mania seized many persons and they all took “fliers” in the market at the same time. As a result some made profits and some, particularly those who fol- lowed like sheep as the sun of ap- Parent easy money came into full view, got sheared. ‘The basic conditions which should make wheat more valuable are un- changed. We have a short crop in this country and a good deal of the surplus will be worked off within the mext year. After this shake-down the trend will again be upward be- cause the value is there. Men must eat and bread still is the staff of life. It is to be expected and devoutly hoped that any new gains will not be as rapid as those which preceded the crash and that the underlying causes will be different. The farmer will benefit most when prices rise because of the tangible value of the product rather than by reason of the Public's speculative reaction to a given set of conditions. There is consolation in knowing that the public has been taught a new lesson at a good time. It will hardly fool itself again quickly or so badly as it has this time. The next time wheat reaches $1.03 in Bismarck it probably will stay there or go still higher. Meantime the current price com- pares very favorably with that quoted @ year ago and there still remain to be collected the acreage reduction benefits to be paid by the govern- ment, A New Responsibility of Business Leaders One of the fortunate developments of the last few years is that we are able nowadays to look an extremely Tadical idea in the face without get- ting the jitters. A case in point is the suggestion which Donald Richberg dropped be- fore the Merchant Association of New York in his recent speech there —the suggestion that unless the di- rectors and executives of big business Tecognize their social responsibilities, and act on them, they will presently be elected by the general public and not by the several stockholders. Here is a notion which would have earned a man the indelible label of “bolshevik” if it had been voiced as recently as six months ago. Today ‘we are able to look at it calmly and to see that there is a lot of good sense in it. It comes down, that is to say, to this: we are awakening to the fact that the man who directs a large industry occupies a position of public trust just as much as does the pol- iticlan who has been elected sena- tor, Judge or governor. this act, not exceeding the sum of three hundred dollars, may in the discretion of the governor be taxed to the persons making such charges, and where such charges are made by such relators there Shall be filed, together with such THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, JULY 21, 1933 WIL SERVICE AMIN ATION FOR | It Might Be a Little Confusing at First WHERE'S THE CIRCLE FOR VOTING THE STRAIGHT TICKET? self-addressed envelope is enclosed.

FOUR POUNDS OF LIVER A reader requests an article about the liver and its functions. He craves to know whether a person can live charges, a good and sufficient indemnity bond in the sum of $300, to be approved by the gov- ernor, binding such relators to the payment of such costs upon failure to maintain such charges are herein provided.” In the Burleigh county case no bond was required, the law being ig- nored to that extent, but the governor still has opportunity to express his disapproval of such actions in a direct, and definite way. If he were to make such assess- ment it would serve notice upon all who seek to make the executive power @ tool for their personal interests that this practice is Mable to prove costly. Safe from Air Invasion The successful completion of Gen. Italo Balbo’s flight across the North Atlantic with 24 seaplanes proves that aviation has made great pro- gress, and that the open ocean is no longer an effective barrier to com- petent and determined airmen; but it does not prove that the United States would be in any great danger of aerial raids if it should get into war with a European foe, Stripped for action, given every help possible and permitted to take all the time they needed, these 24 Planes got to Labrador unharmed. But if they had been war planes on bombing mission, they would have had a good deal farther to fly before reaching their objective, they would have had to carry heavy loads of bombs, and they would have had to plan on flying back without stop- ping to refuel. Flying the Atlantic in peacetime is one thing; conducting a wartime bombing raid is something entirely different.

It's that large gland in the northwestern abdomen. About a pound for every 36 pounds of body weight. As for living without it, I do not advise you to try. Why inter- fere with these things as long as they don’t bother us? In the old days when the charla- tans devoted considerable attention to the livers of gullible folk the lat- ter suffered proportionately with bad livers. Nowadays it is difficult to get even a moron anxious about the state of his liver, and the quondam nimble little liver pill is recalled only when the customer hasn't the price of the article which some European clinic clerk, all decked out in his barber’s coat, recommends to the peasants who patronize the free clinic. Incidentally, where do people get the morbid suggestions that make them sick? Not from anatomy, phy- stology or hygiene. They get their harmful impressions or misinforma- tion from Gilad a pare ogy, pathology, riology, etiol fi ier and therapeutics, the kind taught by charlatans, nostrum mong: ers, fad healers, and mail order hum- bugs. The liver is the largest gland in the body, having both external and internal secretions. In a newborn infant the liver weighs one-eighteen- th of the body weight. In an adult one-thirty-sixth of the body weight. The external secretion, the bile, is produced in the cells which make up the structure of the liver, and it seepg in channels between cells (capillaries) into the small branches of the bile ducts or tubes which convey it, as through twigs of the branches of a tree into the two large ducts, on from either lobe, which finally unite to form the main hepatic duct. This is joined 1 1-2 inches along by the cyctic duct coming from the gall bladder, and the bile flows on through the common gall duct for another three inches to empty into the duodenum or upper end of the small intestine three inches beyond the lower outlet of the stomach. Remember that the gall-sac is a blind pouch resembling and acting like a perfume spray bulb. It holds a tablespoonful or two af bile, which it squirts into the duodenum after tain foods or medicines are swal- lowed—especially fats and strong Epsom salts or other salt -solutions. Remember, this is only a reflex con- traction of the gall bladder, not an increased secretion of bile. The gall Quality Requires Advertising (Duluth Herald) Experienced advertising men look for increased business in their line as @ result of the activities of the ad- ministration under the national in- dustrial recovery law. Some manufacturers recently have been putting all their efforts on cheapening quality and reducing prices. The codes of fair practice which are to govern business in the future, it is understood, are to forbid Jess-than-cost “leaders.” They are to include minimum wage scales. Practically, they will set prices. The emphasis in selling hereafter will be on quality, service, appearance ed variety, which must be adver- So the advertising men are looking for a boom in their field something like that which resulted from the excess profits tax. That will be good news to newspapers and other pub- lications, which, under the industrial recovery act, are left to take care of themselves without government aid. During the past year electric street railways carried 15,000,000,000 riders on their cars and buses; this was about seven times the population of the earth.

Pleas for Clemency Are Heard by Board Pleas for clemency for two prisoners serving life terms for murder were presented before the state pardon board Thursday. After hearing applications for par- dons for Francis Tucker and Claude Peoples, Minot Negro, the board de- ferred action. State Senator W. D. Lynch of La Moure appeared in behalf of Tucker, who has been serving since Nov. 17, 1927, for the murder of Banker Hans Bjone in La Moure county. He con- tended Tucker was innocent of the crime. Alvin C. Strutz, Bismarck attorney, appeared in behalf of Peoples, who was sentenced Dec. 4, 1916. Peoples contends the murder for which he was convicted was committed by an- other Negro who left Minot shortly after the crime. The case of Charles Simpson, Minot Negro, sentenced to a life term for murder in December, 1929, is sched- uled to come before the board Friday.

Mrs. Lorrimer looked at him a, moment. Pity for him, terror, an- ger, all fought in her eyes for mastery. She said, slowly: “She's in no condition to be kept standing here.” She indicated Peter and the other man with a gesture of her hand. “We'll all be better off at the house,” said Mar- garet Lorrimer. Supported by Peter and the gar- dener—as Lorrimer made no move to touch her—Delight was taken to the house. Lorrimer and his mother walked beside her, a strange little procession. No word was spoken, In the library she was put into a big chair. Peter was sent to tele- phone Doctor Mathews. Someone else was sent for a stimulant. Then they faced each other, alone, the three of them. “How did this happen?" asked Mrs. Lorrimer. quietly. “She came to me,” Delight said, wearily, regarding the inju: ikle which was stretched out on a footstool. ‘She came yesterday and then, morning and told me—” “Who did?” asked Lorrimer sharply. ] In Loyalty’s Name. | “That girl, Miss Thurston.
