Bill and Eva Governor William Langer classified Simeelf with Eva Tanguay, one-time star of the burlesque and vaudeville stage, when he adopted the old-time star's slogan Thursday in an address to North Dakota's sheriffs at Fargo. ‘The classic statement was “I don’t care” and the circumstances in which Eva and Bill used it are somewhat similar in nature, despite the lapse of time and the change of place. Miss Tanguay, it will be remember- ed, popped into prominence as show- dom’s play girl. What she did ‘wouldn’t seem so bad in the light of Present-day standards but for her time she was a shocker. ‘When she sppeared on the stage ‘with almost no clothes, went through her dance and sang her “I don’t care” wong the bald-headed lads in the front row sat forward in their seats, eraned their necks and strained their eyes, Those who happened to have brought their wives along exercised restraint only by tremendous moral ‘effort, Twenty years or so ago it was quite a thing. Not a fan dance, of course but, everything considered, plenty warm.

Four years ago members of the present Democratic majority, then in the minority, raised the roof against the domination of Speaker Long- worth and his cohorts. ‘They were not then responsible for ‘accomplishments in the nation’s leg- islative halls and so it was to their interest to accuse the controlling fac- tion in as loud @ voice as possible. Now the shoe is on the other foot and the Democrats must suffer the same assault. ‘Much as the nation may be devoted to the principle of free speech, how- ever, it is impossible to have it in so large and unwieldy a body as the house of representatives, From the very nature of things most important @ecisions are made in committees and Congressman Sinclair, who is & member of the House Agricultural | Committee, recently announced that | he would make a fight to keep this station in operation.

To Check Blackmailing Senator Millard Tydings of Mary- land plans to seek a modification of the famous Mann act in the present session of congress, This law was passed to strike a blow at the white slave traffic. Un- fortunately, it also has been a boon to blackmailers. It is perfectly pos- sible to prosecute under it a man who never has dreamed of having the shadow of a connection with the organized vice traffic; and unscru- pulous folk have used this fact as a lever to extort money from men guilty of nothing more than indiscre- tions, It goes without saying, of course, that in revising the law care must be taken to leave it an effective club against commercialized vice rings. Senator Tydings believes it is pos- sible to amend the law so as to de- stroy its usefulness for blackmailers without weakening its usefulness in the field for which it was designed. It is to be hoped that he succeeds in his plan, Avoiding Disillusion One thing, at least, occurs to any- one who meditates over the tremen- | dous federal budget that recently was unveiled in Washington.

HAVE YOU A LITTLE TOO MUCH CARBON MONOXIDE IN YOUR any unpleasant surprises for anybody. By using the lowest estimate of government receipts and the highest estimate of government expenditures, the president gave us as dark a pic- ture as he%possibly could have given. If everything goes badly, things will be just as he presented them; if, | on the other hand, the government spends @ little less than the maxi- mum, or receives a little more than the minimum, they will be a good deal better.

Gains made after March raised the number of carload- ings in 1933 above the figure for the Preceding year. The commission notes for the second quarter a net deficit of less than $7,000,000 for all Class I roads, after payment of fixed charges, compared with a loss of more than 10 times that sum during the corresponding period of 1932. For the months of July and August, the latest for which fixed charges were avail- able when the commission prepared its report for Congress, the net deficit was changed to a net income of $46,- 000,000—compared with a deficit of $45,000,000 for July and August, 1932. The commission cites as the obvious need of the carriers a continued im- Provement of traffic resulting from increased business activity. But it notes that the railways are not today in @ position to take advantage of such an improvement under condi- tions of fair competition. “It will be waterway services and particularly by motor trucks.

Unscrupulous agents sometimes, assure the unwary householder that “all harmful gases are completely con- jsumed or burned” by the special |burner, and therefore no flue con- nection or chimney pipe is necessary.” That is untrue. For safety and health never burn any fuel in a room unless there is adequate provision to carry the products of the combustion out of the room.

Last year he was saying that repeal would “begin the moral dismember- ment of America,” and as Texas pre- pared to ratify he made 40 speeches against it. Today, leaning against the wailing wall, he hopes for a national re- conversion.

After 10 minutes of fiddling, cussing and summoning, he learned ae locks had been changed during the summer. “Feel my muscle!” bragged Garner when someone suggest- ed he wasn't strong enough to bust the door. “I did a lot of bending to touch my toes and just to make it interesting, I picked up handsful of pecans every time.” The hardy vice president slept on the bare ground until, he says, his \hips began to hurt him.

You understand?” Tenn-Og nodded, without a flicker of expression on his dusky face. ‘They went back past their camp island “nd paddled on west toward _ the mainland. They were not chal- lenged. Taree hundred yards from the shore they swung south. Still they heare no signals, saw no shad- owy mottles, vurt hardty knew what to think. Twice now the Indian's advice had proved right, very right. By the route :.e had suggested they had got free of the island and through the cordon of canoes. That didn’t look like treachery. Furthermore it was Sonya who had sent him with that boat; and certainly she had not wanted them to meet harm. With the wind pushing them along, they dropped down toward the narrows where Francois and Jocku had been killed. The memory of that death cry was still vivid with Curt. As the dark bottle neck loomed up just ahead, he touched Tenn-Og. “Any men guarding that?” Tenn-Og nodded and held up six fingers. “When they call, I answer, you say nothing.” They skirled into the entrance. The dark timber flitted by, close on either band. Five hundred yards down, down st the narrowest part, they were suddenly challenged. The voice came from a clump of junip- ers, ahead of them and on the right- hand ban™. An instant later another voice rang out on the left. Two hid- den parties, with less than a hun- dred feet separating them—no won- der Francois and Jocku had met doom there. Tenn-Og stood up and answered. Curt held his rifie at alert, with the trigger safety on red. The canoe came in between the two parties. Nothing ‘appened. It drifted on Past.

Tm sorry. You understand?” Tenn-Og shrugged his shoulders and grunted, with no more expres- sion on his claw-scarred face than when they had suspected him of treachery and had threatened to shoot him, Goetom after midnight they came to an island where Curt’s party had camped on the up trip. Whipping ashore, they ate part of the food which Tenn-Og had brought. and flung themselves down on the sand for a five-minute rest. ‘That camp site held memories for Curt, poignant memories of the eve- ning his party had stayed there. A cluster of wilted anemones, the im- print of a small dainty moccasin along the landwash, made him re call how Sonya had wandered lone- somely about the camp, trying by a dozen little kindnesses to get a friendly word out of him. As he stared up at the stars and thought of her going those three Indian guides, home to him in sending Og to them with the cance she Tun . big risk, closely guarded she had been. It was pretty her todo .ha. If it hadn't been her, he would have gone across the Klosohees camp and likely got killed in his attempt to steal a boat. ‘The incident made him look back on their whole relationship with less bitterness and more honesty, and he had to acknowledge that from first ‘o last she had shot square with him. She had not asked for his help on the trip; he had volun- teered it, that morning at the moun- tain torrent, And later, when she saw he was falling in love with her, she bad said and done everything that a girl could do to halt it, At least she had &@ conscience, a thoughtful regard for other people's feelings.

The more he thought about her joining Karakhan, the more it: seemed to clash with all that he had seen of her during two weeks of in- timate association. In Helen Mathie- Son one could understand such a flight; Helen was blinded and en- tirely dominated by passion. But Sonya was not Helen Mathie- son. Sonya had gone through more in her life; she was more mature, deeper of insight, far more thought-; ful. For all the fire in her, she did’ not seem a girl who would ever let passion overrule her sense of right. Her association with “Karakhan| was simply out of harmony with all’ the rest of her nature. ‘When they gpt up to go on, he saw that Ralph had drifted back to the borderline ci consciousness; his; eyes half open, his lips moving. He! was too far gone to talk, but he rec-| ognized his fricmds and understood, what they said to him. Curt bent down, encouraging: “Don’t let go, Ralph. We're leav- ing the Lilluars ard taking you out. Tomorrow at this time you'll be in Prince Rupert, and there they'll fix you up.” ’ Twice more during the rest of the night Ralph carae out of his stupor for a few moments.

They stopped ten minutes to rest, and then hurried on all the faster, now that they had light to travel by. With ‘enn-Og in the prow, guiding them down the river that he knew so intimately, they shot over dan- serous white water without pausing to scout a course. Their hands were blistered from the paddle work,, their arms ached intolerably, but for Ralph’s sake they drove them- selves to the limit. One hour of merciless paddling, then five minutes of rest; another hour and another five minutes on the sand—in that steady relentless’ fashion they reeled off the long miles of the flight south. At noon they came to a sluggish lake of reed patches and sloughs where ducks and geese and teal in: countless numbers had their sum- mer rookeries. As they were thread- ing a short-cut channel, Curt glanced! back toward the lake head and hap-, pened to see a colony of little black; terns rise out of a slough and ex-; plode like a puff of feathers, with shrill cries of alarm. Evidently something out of the or-! dinary had flushed them. As he kept! watching he saw scattered ducks! and teal go up, lower down the: slough, indicating that the cause of, the alarm, whatever it might be, was coming down stream. Suspicious, he and Paul stopped, backed into 9 thick clump of flags! and waited. A minute later two ca-. noes came skimming around a reedy: point and headed down toward them. Traveling light, three stal- wart men to a boat, they had come . south even faster than his party. To let them go past would only have meant an ambush and fight further down river. They had to be stopped. Waiting till they were within easy range, he and Paul opened on them with a sudden blast, The ricocheting bullets, smashing through the wind-water line of the craft, sank them before the thun- derstruck Klosohees could realize that ambushing was a game which two could play at.
