Blaine, former governor and senator from Wiscon- sin, constitutes a severe blow to the dynasty which long has ruled that state. He was an essential part of it and his passing leaves only the sons of “Fighting Bob” LaFollette to carry on in the progressive tradition. That they will be able to manifest the skill and fire which made their father a power in the nation and enabled him to dominate Wisconsin for more than a score of years is doubtful. “Young Bob” has more finesse and polish, displays some of the attributes which made his father famous. But he lacks the indefinable something which lifts a man above others of his time. In the nation’s annals today he is just another pro- gressive, cast in a common mold. His brother Phil already has flashed like a meteor across Wisconsin's skies and vanished to political oblivion. It may be that he flashed too sogn or burned too brightly while in the gov- ernor’s chair. Whatever the answer, he is no longer a factor. And with Blaine’s death the prime minister of the dynasty passes. As “Old Bob's” friend and confidante he ‘was a power in Wisconsin. As amas- terly politician who approached the threshold of real statesmanship, he had weight in his own right. After “Old Bob's” death he, rather than the young LaFollettes, seemed the re- pository of the ancient faith. It is true that he was beaten in the| landslide of 1932, but this dimmed) only slightly his personal prestige with many Wisconsin voters. Like the Elder LaFollette, Blaine had be- come a tradition in the state. De- spite attempts to separate them, he; was always faithful to the LaFollette, clan and a tower of strength in their adversities. His passing leaves Wisconsin's chil- dren of light alone. Young Bob, who, must run for the senate again this; year, becomes an orphan of the storm with a pack of Democrats, yelping} for place, power and patronage, hotly | pursuing him. Blaine’s death may not mean a/ great deal to the nation as a whole! but to Wisconsin it is important. It well may mark the passing of one of America’s great political dynasties. Common Enemy Peace-loving people have difficulty in thinking of themselves as the com- mon enemy, yet they are just that to the organized criminals who have been going about like raging lions seeking whatever prey they chose— and usually getting it. i The reason why men like Dillinger, Barrow, Floyd and a host of others have been able.to succeed in their chosen work is clear enough. They have adopted the idea of the common enemy and it is their greatest pro- tection. ‘When such a gang robs a bank, for example, they are few in number and well organized. They need not ask the name, vocation or intention of ders, they “let him have it” and an- other notch is carved on the butt of the machine gun they happen to be using. When they are stopped for examination on the highway, as Bar- Tow was recently, a hail of bullets Reassuring Maneuver There is something exceedingly re- | fleet's departure from the Pacific coast for Atlantic waters. During the last year or so we have heard s great deal about the danger of war in the Far East. We have been asked to spend a huge sum in putting our navy in tip-top shape, the idea being that times are so un- settled that we can’t tell just when we may have to use it, But this movement of the fleet is a Pretty good sign that the situation isn’t as bad as it was painted. The government would not pull the entire fleet around to the east coast if it had any reason to believe that it might at any moment be called on to fight in the Pacific. The movement ought to do a great deal to quiet our fears—and, incidentally, to help quiet the fears of other nations as well. When a Job Is for Sale Testimony of former Judge William B. Harley of New Jersey before a leg- islative committee at Trenton con- tains about as striking a sidelight on Politics as one ever gets. The judge declared that he paid $25,000 to a political leader to get his appointment to the bench. After- ward, he said, the man to whom he paid the money made repeated ef- forts to influencé his decisions in various court cases, and threatened him when he refused to obey orders. Now this whole business leads one to wonder what on earth any man would expect to happen, when he paid $25,000 for his appointment to the bench. Would he expect that he would permitted to go ahead and be an upright and unbiased jurist? The assuring about the United States man who sells a job usually likes to keep a string on it; the man who buys one automatically surrenders his independence, whether he realizes it or not.

A Man’s Man (Traill County Tribune) Not for some time has a selection of a political convention met with such whole-hearted approval of friends in all political parties about the state, as greeted the action of the Democrats assembled in Minot last week. At that time they unanimous- ly endorsed the name Thomas H. Moodie, editor of the Williston Herald, as their candidate. Immediately following the report of the action of the convention, type- writers in the newspaper offices of the state clicked out tributes to one of the state’s best known editorial writers, and a friend of all. Delegates &t the convention were insistent that ‘Tom Moodie make the race. He had refused to consider the proposition at first, but for the sake of harmony within the ranks of his party he final- ly consented. Never out in front seeking political preference, but ever striving for a better understanding between all classes, Tom Moodie has made warm friends about the state in the many years he has been in the northwest. A clear thinker, honest in his con- victions, and with convictions to champion, he has been a leader, but not a driver. His personality has car- tied him far in the estimation of his friends. The-action of the convention at Minot last Wednesday demonstrat- ed this better than words can tell. Out of the picture, to a more or less degree for many years, while the state has been in a political battle within itself, the Democrats were faced with the problem of putting in the field a popular ticket. Its candidate for gov- ernor must be one to whom no one could point a finger of scorn, nor to- wards whom insinuations might be directed. He must be one who can reason from the premise, and one who has vision and weight to carry out his program. They found just such a man in Tom Moodie, and great hurrahs went up from all parts of the state. In no less than six different communities came the word “Our” Tom Moodie literally had been drafted as a candi- date. Probably no candidate in all the history of statehood has had a more desirable baptism in a political cam To some in the state the name of Tom Moodie may be unknown.

NOT ALL THAT SNUFFLES IS CRI It was a sad disappointment when I opened the latest edition of Webster and turned eagerly to Chapter -C. to find that cri has not yet made the grade. Haven't said a thing about cri here ina month of Sundays. Thought the word had sufficient mo- mentum to carry it along. But I see we've got to keep hammering at it. The public may as well become re- signed to it. You're going to adopt the idea behind this term and like it. I don’t care much whether you use the word itself. Go on calling it “cold” if you're both ignorant and mulish. But this I have noticed: Ig- norant folk are beginning to show an apologetic, furtive manner when they peddle cri. Only the most ab- ject moron still, coughs or sneezes open-face in the presence of any one with enough intelligence to resent it. These observations are more signifi- cant than the recognition of the word cri by any fusty lexicographer. Cri will break into Webster in due time, just as vitamin did. The dictionary makers are shrewd fellows, Mean- while the world wags on. Still, the poor dolts need not be so hang-dog about it. They have lots of company, of their own shallow men- tal and moral calibre, and plenty of Political accidents holding down soft jobs as postmast—I mean health com- missioner who regularly issue official bulletins reassuring the rabble that this is a free country (for crooks and criminals) and here in Yankeeland where it doesn't matter where or how you get the dough so long as you get it, the peddling of cri is a respectable business. These politicians who have charge of health administration in graft-governed cities constantly as- sert, or rather employ ghost writers who assert, that inclement weather is the cause of “common colds.” So if you have any secret enmity for any one and hesitate to train your ma- chine gun on the victim, you can cough or sneeze in his face when you have this so-called “common cold,” or if you're afraid the victim may slap = down for that, you can infect him just with him a few moments. ‘The conversational spray carries all IN AMERICA Joseph Nathan Kane By Author of "Famous First Facts” the peril that cough or sneeze spray does, but has @ shorter range. It has been estimated, I think fair- ly, that from five to ten per cent of ‘all coryza is NOT of infectious nature, that is, not due to germs or virus, and hence not communicable. I wish I could deny this, but I can’t. I can on- ly hope that the dolts and scoundrels who exercise the Yankee right of ped- dling whatever they have among their neighbors, business associates, em- Ployees, customers or the public at large will not try to capitalize the fact. Hay fever and related condi- tions; hyperesthetic rhinitis; coryza from medicines or chemicals; atopic coryza—from certain foods or other substances to which the individual happens be sensitized—this is various- ly termed allergy or anaphylaxis. Coryza (ko-rise-ah) means a run- ning at the nose. Inflammation of the nasal mucous membrane with con- gestion, redness, swelling and the familiar stuffing up followed by free secretion of watery serum and mucus. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Schoolroom Ventilation Please give some information or sug- gestions about the ventilation of schoolrooms. (C. M. H.) Answer—In my opinion the sim- plest, cheapest, most efficient and healthful way is to fit all the windows with full sash screens of unbleached muslin. This was introduced by Dr. John B. Todd of Syracuse, N. Y., and thas been used by many village and city schools with much satisfaction.
