Business Starts Upgrade ‘Newspaper display advertising in 25 compared with August, 1932. ness, government and public are eager to know just exactly what that amaz- ing gain means. ‘That it reflects renewed confidence ‘on the part of the nation’s business there is not a shadow of a doubt. Business does not spend good dollars ‘on advertising unless it is reasonably sure there is business to be had. And yet a 16 per cent increase in advertising volume does not neces- sarily mean @ corresponding increase in business for the advertisers. The proof is in the pudding, which, in this case, is the business done. And the proof is at hand. ‘There is no more accurate baro- meter of business than the weekly re- tember started her brief career by running the business barometer up to its highest point in two years. The loadings for the week were 105,327 cars in excess of those for the corre- sponding week of 1932, and the high- est weekly total since November, 1931. Here is the corroborating evidence proving not only that the newspaper advertising gains reflected business gains but accounted for them, at least in part. More car loadings can mean only one thing—more business done, more goods sold. Those who have sought the reasons for this upturn in business after a slight sag during August all came to the same conclusion: general busi- ness conditions are better. Kelly in Jail It was a fine piece of work which police and federal officials did Tues- day at Memphis, Tenn., in arresting “Machine Gun” :!y, one of the most notorious of th. ..:ion’s desperadoes. If half the things they say of him are true, this man is one of the most heartless killers in history. The tak- ing of human tife, if it stands in the way of his selfish ends, apparently has meant nothing to him. Now that he is in jail, every pre- eaution should be taken to see that he stays there until his trial is had. And that trial should be a speedy one. Already there appears to be plenty of evidence to connect him with the ‘kidnaping of Charles Urschel in Okla- homa, but if he is really guilty of |, murder, or participation in murder, he should be tried for that also. ‘Many persons are opposed to capi- ‘ tal punishment, but even the most tender-hearted can sbandon their acruples when they contemplate the erimes of which this man is accused. By reputation, at least, he is one of the kind of whom it may justly be re- marked that “hanging is too good for him.” Sign of Recovery That those house-to-house can- tvasses to enlist consumers in the ranks of the NRA can have a direct and heneficial effect on the nation’s buy- fing habits is indicated by a current statement from an executive in a farge chain of retail shoe stores. This man flatly says that the NRA house- tto-house campaign has been “one of the greatest stimulants to retail Duying.” His compeny has stores in every in state, per year 1.00 in state, three ‘The Associated Press is exclusively to the use for republication up some morning in a new world.” But someone ought to remind th Tosy as it used to.

We'll save far more than the $150,- 000 that was spent in the election of Friday if the Bismarck gang that has been spending public moneys in great gobs for political purposes realize that voter confidence in them is entirely lacking—that their job henceforth must be that of restoring public con- fidence if there remains with them hope for future favors at the hands of an outraged electorate. It was a stinging rebuke. It was, in every sense, a vote of lack of confidence, cast after the most momentous and ruthless effort that has been put forward to mislead and intimidate the voters into doing the thing that unprincipled politicians sought. Not alone does the overwhelming defeat of the sales tax, bank receiver- ship and workmen compensation com- missioner removal bill reveal voter distrust of the administration, but the very surprising vote that was roll- ed up in opposition to the trivial amendment submitted by the last leg- islature, going to the mere routine of reading bills presented to the assem- bly for action, can be interpreted in no way other than an utter lack of confidence in the legislature that made such a mess of things only a few months ago. ‘We have said that the rebuke cost the taxpayers $150,000, and probably that bears just a little analysis. At the outset, the election, itself, Cost about $100,000, On top of that, as taxpayers, we have had to pay the bill for the gov- ernor who has been running helter- skelter into every remote hamlet over the whole commonwealth ever since the legislature adjourned; we have had to pay for his radio talks and we have had to pay for the thou- sands upon thousands of letters and circulars that emanated from his of- fice and the various departments of government that were used to put fire into the campaign. We have had to pay the traveling expenses of scores of highway depart- ment officials and employees; the traveling expenses of tax commission- er, regulatory department, Bank of North Dakota, game and fish depart- ment employees, as they pilgrimaged about seeking votes. ‘We have had to pay for clandestine visits to the state educational insti- tutions on the part of board of ad- ministration members who lent them- selves and their offices to the miser- able attempt to browbeat and frighten educational institutions, and the cities in which they are located, into sup- porting the sales tax with the clos- ing of the institutions as the alter- native. As taxpayers, we paid for a swell campaign—we paid the expenses, we paid for the time of the men and women who were forced by the gov- ernor into the fight in amounts that can never be determined because the costs will be concealed in a hundred different ways—and as voters we served notice on the whole gang that we wanted no more of that sort of hing. It should be a chastened adminis- tration, but that is hoping for too much so long as we have a governor who uses the military power at the slightest provocation, whose hirelings Provoke strikes among honest work- men, who uses the power to make or break the individual employee of the state as he sends his paid henchmen about colicting percentages of their salaries that his political newspaper may be published. It should be, we say, a chastened administration—but the record that has been written since last January is such that there need be little hope for reform. Rather, we should ex- Pect, out of Bismarck, @ sort of “tail ; with the hide” attitude. There can- not but be other than the feeling that this administration has broken itself, fling that will pale into insignificance the attitude that has been revealed place heretofore. As voters, it cost us about $150,000 to administer that sound spanking that was meted out to the state ad- ministration in the election of Friday, boys who have been running wild at | By William self-addressed envelope is enclosed. SOME CHILDREN HAVE NO RESIS- TANCE AND OTHERS HAVE SOME IMMUNITY A reader who was born 80 miles northeast of Belfast has begun to throw shamrocks at me because I harp so much on certain symptoms such as tightness across the chest. If I belabor certain particulars it is for the purpose of compelling read- ers to think. The idea of “resistance,” for instance, is so firmly fixed in the Popular mind that one must belabor the question in order to show. how untenable the idea is. retaining the right to spread disease indiscriminately), while other children seldom catch anything worse than scabies, ringworm or pediculosis. ‘Theoretically the latter class have good “resistance,” but if you ask what that means nobody can tell you, though almost any mountebank will rattle off sets of rules or offer advice on how to keep up or build up this mysterious “resistance.” Whenever there is a rumor of an outbreak of flu or pneumonia, all the mountebanks try to beat one another into print with these rules for the guidance of the simple public. Ole Doc Cummins, head man of the public health service bureau in Washington, usually has the drop on the ambitious state and municipal ‘health officers—suspect the astute Surgeon-General keeps his rules all set up and well oiled and when the news of the epidemic breaks all he has to do is instruct some doz- ing assistant major-general to release @ release to all the newspapers of the country, and, bingo, the Cummins joke is published before the piker health commissioners get their con- tributions polished up. The main thing these eminent health authorities urge for maintain- ing “good resistance” is brisk ex- ercise, I take it. Anyway they give you something to worry about. You Must avoid exposure to cold; on the other hand you must beware of stuffy or overheated rooms; as you dodge back and forth between the two evils, well, your metabolism is bound to in- crease. Then when you get ready for bed at night you open your window to secure fresh air, but as soon as you get it open you remember Ole Doc Cummins warned about drafts, so you quickly shut the window again.
