That Selfless Quality No American can study the lives of this nation’s traditional heroes with- out being impressed by a peculiar quality of selflessness which distin- Buished their activities. We can have no better illustrations of this fact than the lives of Lincoln ‘nd Washington, whose anniversaries ‘we celebrate this month, Because he must rank first in any list of Americans, be they soldiers, statesmen or common Citizens, it is ‘well to take first the case of Wash- ington. A rich man, he risked all his prop- erty as well as his freedom and very life in the struggle for liberty. Had he any concern other than the espousal of a principle and a hope for the future of his fledgling coun- try, he could have had a gorgeous ‘mess of pottage as his purchase price. But the quality of selflessness burned in him like a flame. Amid struggles which make our puny modern prob- Jems of mere adjustment seem in- significant, it flamed brightest when the need was greatest. ‘The quality rings through his pub- Me addresses. It marked his actions as the nation’s first president. Its whisperings caused him to reject the Suggestion that he set himself up as king, caused his retirement at the end of his second term. Had he so ‘willed, Washington might have set up a dynasty in America, but his dream of a great, free people forbade that and so we have the tradition of two terms as a maximum for presi- dents, a tradition which never has been violated. Lincoln offers proof from the other extreme of the social scale. He was born in poverty, knew the bitter struggles for existence which came to the poor on the frontier. Those early days planted in his heart a great respect for the trials and tribula- tions of his neighbors which stood him in good stead when he essayed the task of guiding the nation through one of the most difficult pe- Tiods of its existence. Storms of condemnation and calumny beat upon him such as have beset few men, but he, too, drew upon an inner spiritual strength and held fast to the course which he believed to be right. ‘The man stands out as a great hu- manitarian because he dared to espouse the cause of a downtrodden section of humanity and to defend the spark of democracy when other men were willing to trample it un- derfoot. He was not, perhaps, quite fas great a leader as Washington, but the staunchness of his faith and the greatness of his heart were unexcelled by any human. In the dark hours of his greatest service he gave of himself, not only for the nation but Zor the lowliest creature in it whose suffering came to his notice, Thus our truly great heroes find the essence of their greatness in things which are of the spirit, rather than of the flesh. Purged by their times of the baser elements of patriotism, they stand out like light- houses to American citizens today. ‘They serve notice upon us that only when he forgets himself in firm deci- sion to do his duty is a man’s service likely to be remembered. A Little Early—But It is still a little early for the na- tion to pass judgment upon President, Roosevelt's action in summarily can- celling all airmail contracts, but there is no denying the fact that at this as to the reason for such action. Grant that some companies have dealt unfairly with the government. That is no reason why the govern- ment, in its turn, should deal un- fairly with others which may have been perfectly honest with it. Then, too, there is another side to the question. It is that of the scores of towns and cities which seem likely self-addressed envelope is enclosed. in ink. No reply can be made to queries not conforming to instructions.

They are published without regard to whether they agree or disagree with The Tribune's policies, The League State Convention (Aneta Panorama) A call for a state convention of the Nonpartisan League delegates has been issued by the state executive committee, to be held at Valley City March 6, At that time differences within the League ranks will be thoroughly threshed out. The strength of the opposing factions will be tested out and its future course decided upon. Differences in the League ranks are many, viewing it from a collective standpoint. However, when all the differences are simmered down it really comes to only one big and im- Portant cog in the wheel. The main question, as we see it, is: Shall the organization be ruled by one man and his adherents who hold their state Jobs through his good graces, or shall the principles of the organiza- tion, that the majority rule, be guided by @ majority of men who have made the life of the organization possible? As we have said before, we believe that the main fight will be won in the precinct and county conventions, not in the state convention. Dele- gates at the precinct and later the county conventions will be selected with a view of being pro- or anti- Langer. That is the whole issue. If the Langer delegates are in the ma- jority the state convention will be a mere formality. If delegates are evenly divided, or nearly so, then horse-trading will have its day, with the chances all in favor of the Langerites, [Additional Society | o Lincoln Anniversary Observed With Dance Fifty couples were entertained at the bridge and dancing party given at the Grand Pacific hotel private din- ing room Monday evening by the lo- cal assembly of Fourth Degree Knights of Columbus to observe the 125th anniversary of Abraham Lin- coln's birth.

Several members of the assembly who reside in Mandan were among the guests. Special guests were the candidates who will be received into the Fourth Degree at initiation ex- ercises to be held at Fargo Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Howard Wood, Fargo, were out-of-town guests.

For such anemic persons the dose of iron in the average nostrum or even the old time prescriptions is quite futile. In order to achieve re- sults the anemic patient must take as much iron in a day or two as the healthy body contains, QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Siderosis ‘Work in shop where cast iron dust gets into my nose and throat. Is this dangerous to health? (Mary C.) Answer—Yes, it causes chronic bronchitis and sometimes leads to phthisis or a kind of consumption. Such dust should be removed by ex- haust vents or prevented from flying about by dampening. Lore Please tell me what the following are used for: mercurochrome, carbolic acid, cyanide of potassium, boric acid, borax. (8. D.) Answer—Mercurochrome is an jantiseptic for wounds, but I think tincture of jodin is preferable. Car- bolic acid (phenol) is also an anti- Septic, though seldom used now, bet cause it is too poisonous. Cyanide of potassium is not used in medicine— it is a deadly poison, commonly used by jewelers for cleaning jewelry. Boric acid and borax are both good antiseptics, and comparatively non- \irritating and non-poisonous. In m; opinion there is nothing better than a solution of a tablespoonful of boric acid in a pint of boiled water for use as gargle, spray, eye wash, douche or other purpose where a harmless anti- septic solution or wash is desired, No Substitute for Butter ‘Will a pound of riut oleo containing one-tenth of 1 per cent of benzoate of soda be injurious to a person using it as a substitute for butter? (Mrs. J.T. N) Answer—Personally I should prefer not to take any food which is of such doubtful purity that the chemical preservative is necessary. And I do not believe it is good economy to use any such substitute for butter. (Copyright, 1934, John F. Dille Co.) state commerce, Hugh 8. Johnson issued this state- ment: “It is recognized that in the de- velopment of @ program of industrial self government, where national in- dustries must be organized nationally, we may wisely follow the theories un- derlying the organization of our fed- eral union of self-governing states, utilizing national organizations and national standards where they are nationally applicable, and providing in a practical manner for local con- trol of local affairs.” The new type of code agreement is proposed to be used for such trades as laundries, restaurants, taxicabs and barber shops, but not for local retail stores, These, because they handle products generally manufactured in interstate commerce, are to remain organized on countrywide lines. The new policy was viewed at NRA as meeting the increasing enforcement difficulties in such trades as dry cleaning, where it has proved next to impossible to secure compliance on a nationwide scale and in which prose- eution of violators is especially diffi- cult because their business is so clear- ly outside the usual scope for inter- state commerce, CITY FATHERS VOTE NEW APPARATUS FOR WATER DEPARTMENT Action Is Taken Monday Night on Recommendation of Health Officials On recommendation of the United States Public Health service the members of the city commission, at their meeting Monday night, approv- ed the purchase of an ammoniator and a chlorinator, apparatus for \treating water, for the Bismarck wa- ter department. A $625 ammoniator and a $1372 chlorinator will be installed by the Wallace and Tiernan company of Newark, New Jersey. No other bids were received. The new equipment will make possible the handling of a much larger amount of water and if necessary, will replace the chlorina- tors already in use at the plant. T. R. Atkinson, city engineer, and Wil- liam Yegen, superintendent of the city filtration plant, met with the commissioners. ‘The commission has received a number of complaints about the park- ing of taxicabs in places other than those allotted by the city governing body and R. D. Schneider, of the 87 cab company, and H. L, Bailey and John Goldader of 393, who attended the meeting, were warned to park their vehicles only at places allowed until further arrangements are made. Asks Tax Reduction A petition by Peter Johner for the lowering of taxes on his property was referred to the city assessor. Alex McClellan and Peggy Carroll Petitioned the commissioners for an extension of the water main to 16th St. and Broadway Ave. The petition was tabled. Mrs. Rebecca Helvick was allowed a $2.41 refund on her personal property taxes. During the month of January the city weigher received $264.20 for 2642 loads weighed, according to his monthly report. Plumbers will not have to pay li-| cense fees for last year, but last year’ permit charges must be paid before licenses are issued for 1934, the com- missioners decided. Of 58 samples of cream tested, only one was found unsatisfactory, accord- ing te the monthly report of A. W. Ecklund, bacteriologist. The report was approved by Dr. A. M. Fisher, city health officer. Beer Lieenses Considered The application of Frank F. Clau- sen for a license to sell beer was ap- proved. ‘William Weinstein must procure a license or stop sale of beer at his Place at 11th St. and Sweet Ave., be- fore Feb. 15, it was decided. . The petition of 8. W. Corwin for the closing of an alley was considered but no action was taken.

KIWANIS CLUB HEARS ADDRESS ON LINCOLN Thomas Burke Sketches Life of “Honest Abe” as Small- Town Barrister “Lincoln the Lawyer” was the topic of the speech given by Thomas Burke at the meeting Tuesday noon of the bt club at the Grand Pacific “Lincoln would never have been able to go as far as he did if it were not for his associations as a lawyer,” Burke said in his talk. Burke had been asked to speak on “country lawyers.” Heé began by tell- ing the members of the club that “country lawyers” term, and that barristers should not be belittled because they labor in a small community and receive little recompense. He cited LincéIn as an example of what might be called a “country lawyer.” Paul O. Netland, executive for the Missouri Valley Area council of Boy Scouts, talked on the activities of the organization in observing its an- nual Scout week that ends Thursday. Guests at Tuesday's session includ- ed M. O. Ryan, Fargo; W. H. Scher- ‘mer, Bismarck; Charles Liessman, Rudolph Liessman and E. T. Mc- Canna, Bismarck, and L. C.

D., Feb. 13—(?)—South Dakota Republicans, seeking to regain ‘political honors lost in the 1932 elec- tion, warmed up for the 1934 cam- paign at an informal conference here Monday with pleas for perty unity and criticism of Democratic state and national administrations. Plentiful oratory ~ bed Bore ee ai to promote the party's - ea reecltas from the statewide meeting, which was called by an un- official group of party leaders. One resolution authorized delegates to organize Republican clubs in coun- ties outsfde the regular setup if such action is suited to the individual needs of counties. Other resolutions adopted provided for a committee of 21 to study the platform needs and to submit recommendations to the regu- lar party state convention, which fol- lows the May 1 primary. Endorsement of candidates and act- ual drafting of the platform—prev- jously announced purpose of the meeting—were scarcely mentioned on the convention floor after prior ‘conferences showed strong sentiment’ against such action in advance of the mary. The meeting, the first statewide Re- publican gathering since the 1932 Democratic landslide, brought sharp criticism of present administration Policies. Declaring tax issues will dominate the state campaign, State Senator Roy Burns, Sioux Falls, said Repub- licans should stand for immediate re- peal of the gross income tax law sponsored by the Democratic state ad- ministration.

The phenomenon was visible only for about 45 seconds, but in that time traveled several miles. As it over Billings, it was slowly losing al titude. The explosion appeared to occur at a point above the Yellowstone rive er southeast of the city. The blast divided the fireball into two bright specks of light, which thereafter vane jished. ; “Exactly. I went into town as soon as I got her letter and tried to reason with her.
