Most of us, though, don’t @are surrender to it, Therefore, it's fun to read a story about one man ‘who did surrender to it—who surren- ered all the way, and let the disease fun its full course unchecked. This man was a farmer living near Hiram, O. ‘The other morning he Jeft home in the family car with $12 ‘worth of maple syrup which he was going to take to town to sell. He disappeared down the road and for two days he didn’t come home. His wife and children got pretty wor- ried. ‘Then, finally, he showed up, with- out any car and without any money, ‘nd he told them he had been kid- naped. Three men in a big sedan had taken him from his car, taped his mouth shut, bound his hands and feet, and carried him clear across the state, over the line into Indiana, be- fore turning him loose. He'd had to borrow money to get home. ‘This was all right until his family insisted that he tell his story to the police; and the police speedily pick- ed it full of holes, until at last he admitted that the whole story was a fake. He hadn't been kidnaped at all. He'd just been wandering around, en- oying the spring. He'd driven to town and sold his syrup, it developed, and had just started home when the spring breese and the warm sunlight got the better of him. &o he parked his car at a cross- roads, hid the key, and set out hitch- hiking—to nowhere at all. ‘Without any goal, he had wander- ed clear to Indiana. There, at last, he realized that he was going to have ® lot of explaining to do at home. Besides, his $12 syrup money was all gone. ‘The wanderlust had left him. So he made his way back home as best he could, and cooked up the kidnap- ing story to avoid embarrassing ques- tions, “It was just that feeling of spring fn the air and having $12 in my pants pocket,” he explained, when asked why he'd gone roving. And that, to anyone who has ever suffered from spring fever, is all the explanation that’s needed. The feel- ing of spring and having money in the pocket—it’s a combination very, very hard to resist. To wander just for the sake of ‘wandering, without a goal and with- ‘out a purpose—who, on a sunshiny April day, hasn’t had to fight down the impulse? Unfair to Rover “Why,” asked a woman in a tele- phone call to The Tribune, “don't people water their dogs?” ‘The question, of course, called for explanation and elicited the fact that, ‘the woman had been troubled with too many canine callers recently, the magnet of attraction being the fish pool in her back yard. After careful observation the woman came to the conclusion that the dogs were thirsty, @ame there to drink despite the fact that the water in the pool had long been stagnant. ‘The woman in question has an af- Section for dogs. Ordinarily she dloesn’t mind Rover and his pals, but {when the number increases to a young army they become bothersome, hence the suggestion that, dog owners might profitably take better care of ted to run at large and their untime- © fi HA Poatmasters By Merit Some time ago Postmaster Genera! and has introduced just such a bill.

More Soviet Business of Russian recognition are beginning to be reaped by American business men, according to figures just issued by the U. 8. Commerce Department. American exports to Russia during February, it develops, totaled just less than $1,500,000—which may not be an unusually high figure, as ex- ports go, but which compares very favorably with $321,000 in January, and which is nearly three times the sum recorded for February, 1933. Not all this increase, of course, is due to government recognition of Russia. Part of it undoubtedly re- flects the general rise in business conditions. But there is, nevertheless, justifica- tion for the belief that recognition is ultimately going to mean more dol- lars in the pockets of American manufacturers, Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors. They are published without regard to whether they agree or disagree with The Tribune's policies, Democrats Select Ticket Aneta Panorama North Dakota Democrats selected a complete ticket of state candidates at the Minot convention last week, with the exception of supreme court can- didates. Glancing down the list of candi- dates it would seem that much adver- tising will have to be done to acquaint the voters with the men and the lone lady represented there, before election rolis around. Practically everyone is ® comparative stranger to the average voter. While it is yet too early to make any Predictions, and, moreover, that pre- dictions in politics is about as uncer- tain as predicting North Dakota weather, it would seem the Democra- tic ticket, as slated, is far from being elected. If the Democrats could not win two years ago, when the national ticket was sweeping everything before it, and the voters were in a mood of making a complete change all ‘round, an “off year” would hardly incre: their chances for victory. z Based on past performances it seems to us that the entire list of state officials now holding office at Bismarck will be nominated on the Republican ticket in the June pri- maries, whether they were indorsed by the Valley City or Jamestown con- vention. We base this theory on the fact that the voters have learned to pick their men—not the “ ” ge- lected for them by politicians or con- ventions. ‘We believe Langer will be nominat- ed in the June primaries. So will Ol- son, Olsness, Baker, Husby, Harding, and all down the line of those now holding office at the state's capital. The fact that the Valley City conven- tion, im effect, said, “these are the men you should vote for,” or, the Jamestown convention said, in effect, the same thing about their slate, will have little bearing on the voter's mind. They will pick their candidates —from Freed Pele slates. Grant such reasoning proves to be correct, the voters will have the same Republican whom the majority of voters will know, even then, by name only.

James A. Farley announced that he would ask Congress to pass a law putting all postmasters under civil service. Since then nothing further has been heard from him on the sub- ject; and now a Republican, Rep- resentative Alvert Carter, has taken the postmaster general at his word “This business of carrying and! servicing the mails,” says Representa- tive Carter, “is one of the most im- 00 portant functions of the government. Tam at a loss to see why anyone would object to having this service The ordinary taxpayer will find very little to quarrel with in this view.
