The Super Optimist For downright courage and undim- ‘med optimism give the palm to the North Dakota farmer. He wins it without serious competition. During the height of the dust storm of last Saturday a well-known Bur- leigh county farmer visited The Trib- ‘une office and the conversation, nat- ‘urally, turned to the weather, “the general expression was “ain't 4¢ awful” but the visitor was unper- turbed. “Oh, I don’t know,” he said. “It don’t mean @ thing in so far as crops gre concerned. Unpleasant maybe, ‘but not important. Why, it was just like this back in the spring of 1915 and that year we got 40 bushels of ‘wheat to the acre. It will start to rain before long and when it does ‘There is your true harbinger of the hope which springs eternal. The man has fought the same kind of bat- tle that comes to other farmers. He knows all about the difficulties of making a success on the farm. He has eaten the bitter fruit caused by @tasshoppers in recent with the rest of us, but ref to be discouraged. God be good this year, ‘The rest of us may not be so cer- “ta but we hope and pray that this will prove to be a true one. Opposing Ways to very idea of the contrasting mn to a government which seeks to promote national recovery can be had by comparing the policies of the American NRA with those re- cently put into effect by Mussolini in Italy. In each case the general objective is the same—to get back some sort of decent equilibrium between what the citizen gets and what he spends, between income and expenditure, be- tween the price level and the debt level, ‘There are two ways of doing this. Everybody is familiar with the w.y the NRA is trying. It is using a kind of controlled inflation—or re- dlation, perhaps, if you like that word better. Tt is trying to boost wages and. prices, hoping that it will be able to send the former up faster than the ‘the latest details of which have just been announced at Rome, is strong- ly deflationary. Salaries and wages are being cut; rents are being cut; Commodity and retail prices are be- ing lowered, In instituting this program, Mus-| solini avowedly has his eye on world trade. With domestic prices and wages lowered, he believes Italy will be in and the picture was speedily removed. Now the point is that a generation ago no one would have objected to; such a painting. Sailors were popu- larly supposed to be tough rowdies; & lot of them gloried in that repu- tation; the country would hardly have understood why anyone would object to it. Today things are different. The high passions of the war period when & great many men became sailors— and soldiers—is past. Saliloring is a peace-time occupation now and a dif- ferent tempo rules. It isn’t that the sailor has changed. It merely means that conditions now call for more grace and finesse. But given another war—and a town where soldiers foregather—and the picture would be strictly in order. Admiral Rodman to the contrary, the fellow who painted it must have been a realist with a memory. He saw a side of navy life which thie ad- miral, used to more refined surround- ings, may never have known.

A Governor Goes Too Far (Duluth Herald) The indictment of Governor Langer of North Dakota and several of his official associates by a federal grand jury may have a salutary effect on Officials in several other states whose “high, wide and handsome methods” have indicated they believed them- selves possessed of autocratic powers. Governor Langer, perhaps, has been more arbitrary in his methods of setting himself up as superior to the laws, but he has a number of ambitious runners-up, some of them not very far from North Dakota. ‘The Langer indictment is based on charges that he violated federal law, and involves conspiracy to levy and collect assessments upon federal em- ployes in North Dakota, such levies to be used in his own personal or po- litical interests. Employes of the fed- eral emergency relief administration there testified that they made con- tributions to the governor and his as- Sociates because they feared they would lose their jobs if they didn’t. The governor resorts to the famil- jar defense that the charges were framed and that he is the victim of Interior Ickes, who seems to be press- ing the charges, has the reputation of being a hard-boiled gentleman who is fighting hard to prevent irregularities Political enemies, but Secretary of the | ankle.

Advanced Ladies, Meet Thrombo- anglitis Obliterans Thrombo-angiitis obliterans is a Tare but interesting condition, even if you name it in English. Inflammation of the main artery with clotting and shutting off of cireulation: It happens usually in the legs. In the past it has been almost exclusively confined to young Russian Jews in this country, tho now and then’a case is reported in a man who is not Jewish. Also it is probably due to excessive smok- ing. In nearly every case on record the victim has been an inveterate cigarette smoker. Put that in your pipe and—I mean, advanced ladies beware. It is not nice to lose a leg or even a part of a foot just to be nonchalant. Not that I am at all prejudiced about the use of tobacco. If a lady cares to chew she is just as well justi- fied in taking a chew as a gentleman is, provided one ever does. So far as I know, tobacco in any form does no more harm to a woman than it does to a man. But there is no argument at all about the injurious effects of tobacco in youth, that is, any form or amount, of tobacco used by a person who has not yet attained full adult growth and development. (This doesn’t mcan merely stature, for stature is scarcely @ true guage of physical, organic, mental and moral development.) Then, too, I must insist that gi:'s who experiment with cigarette smok- ing or with cocktail drinking are a bit on the weak or gullible side ob- viously, and being weak in character or personality or spirit they are quite likely to carry the thing to excess. Anyway they do. Far be it from me to wish to fright- en anybody unless there is good and sufficient reason for it. I have al- ready intimated that in my opinion the temperate or moderate use of to- bacco by an adult does not necessarily injure health, and in any event it is not more harmful to a woman than it is toa man. Now I warn young wom- en smokers to look to their legs. Even if the legs are. not of the kind that give your portrait front page position, just think what a bore it would be to have one of ‘em cut off above the The victim of thrombo-anglitis ob- literans, after a few years of excessive smoking, begins to complain of cold- ness in the feet or legs, intermittent in any of aa departments, and it seems probable that the North Da- are ence, ¢ kotans for a serious experi- Seer | Additional Society | Mrs. R.

Sixteen individuals whose income came from federal funds are named in the indictments as having contrib- uted—involuntarily, the government charges—to the Leader fund or as having been approached by represen- tatives of the Leader who asked their contributions. Named are W. J. Pfenning, L. M. French, Phrene Junge, O. T. Forde, Ed Ryckman, Stella Brandy, Edith Scott, Giles Personius, H. A. Pike, H. C. McCready, A. D. La Due, James Stark, Walter J. Brophy, J. L. Clifford, L. Sanderson and Frank E. Cave. Four Solicited, Collected Chaput, Yeater, Hample, McDonald and Joseph A. Kinzer are named in individuals on federal pay. Naming Vogel is a count which cites that the highway commissioner dis- charged Giles Personius because he failed to make contributions from his salary for the Leader, the count fur- from federal funds. The senior Kinzer is named in a count which cites that he reduced the salary of Edith Scott from $00 a month to $85 a month for the month of August, 1933, “because she had failed and neglected to contribute five per cent of her yearly salary to the the said time and place an employee of the United States of America Fie How the grand jury interpreted the Practice of the Leader staff in goliciting Pledges from workers in Bismarck is told in the formal language of the indictment: “On or about the 3rd of May, 1933, at Bismarck . . . the defendant, Oscar Chaput, solicited five per cent of the employees in the drafting room of the highway depart- ment at Bismarck...
