Tournament Town Bismarck entertains im portant guests this week-end in the persons of some 105 young baseball players, members of the teams entered in the Junior American Legion tournament. ‘They, with Bismarck’s entry, consti- tute the eight teams which will play, the best of more than 500 which have played baseball this year under the direction of the veterans’ organi- sation. They are important, both because of what they are and of what they may be in the future. It is improb- able that there is a Babe Ruth or a ‘Walter Johnson among them. If so, No one need be disappointed, for the aim of the Legion’s junior program ia not to develop professional base- ball players but to inculcate in the youth of the state the true spirit of Americanism. Tt is with this in mind that the Le- gion in North Dakota annually spends thousands of dollars on junior base- ball and scores of Legionnaires give Uberally of their time and effort. The interest of hundreds of non-service men and women has been enlisted with the result that the quality of baseball played has consistently been raised and interest in the annual tournament has been magnified. North Dakota has a number of splendid adult baseball teams. They have offered a high-class brand of entertainment to the sports fan and deserve support. The junior teams, however, appeal to a wider audience, for, in addition to interest in base- ball, they command the interest which everyone has in the develop- ment of our coming citizens. Because of the interest and be- cause a championship is involved, this tournament is the highlight of North Dakota’s summer sports pro- gram. In addition to being high- class entertainment it is the same sort of spectacle which has packed our huge memorial building each year for the state basketball tourna- tment. Bismarck was chosen for this tournament, may be selected perma- nently because of its geographical lo- cation in the center of the state and because it is North Dakota's premier tournament town. Nowhere else in the state are tournament crowds as large as here. In no other city are facilities offered such as we possess. The selection was almost automatic. The importance attached to this Qnnual event is demonstrated by the manner in which local authorities have cooperated with the Legion in erranging for it. The boys will be permitted to sleep in the World War Memorial building, thus reducing their expenses, for many of these teams would be unable to participate in the tournament if the expenses were high. Their members come from all sorts of families in all sorts of economic conditions, the one standard being their ability to play baseball cleanly and well. They will be entertained, while here, by trips to the new state capi- tol building and to other points of interest. Many of these lads live on farms and so the Great Plains sta- tion at Mandan was included in their itinerary. : It is sound policy for Bismarck to do its best in seeing that these boys enjoy their visit, just as it behooves the Capital City to put its best foot forward for every other visitor.. Only earlier ages than formerly was the tule. Our habits as a people are tak- ing their toll. The intensity of life in America has put a physical label upon many persons, At the same time, these individuals claim to note a gradual deterioration in the moral tone of the people. Speaking to a gathering of life in- surance physicians, Dr. W. E. Thorn- ton of the Lincoln National Life In- surance company, recently remarked 32,000 cases in 1932, was due in large part to self-inflicted murder in a “criminal attempt to steal double- 00] indemnity monies for estates, busi- nesses or beneficiaries.” He regards & large number of accidental deaths as distinctly suspicious in their na- 00} ture, The immediate reaction to such a condition is normally one of concern for the future of the nation. If we are to become a race of physically decrepit and morally indifferent peo- ple, then indeed the future is bleak. It must be remembered, however, that a good deal of the physical in- capacity mentioned has little or noth- ing to do with the productiveness of the individuals affected. A man with any one of the diseases named may continue to function efficiently and to serve his family and community well up to the day of his death. The advance in medical science which has lifted the average age has also made this possible. In pioneer days, when the ability to do physical work was the measure of a man’s capacity, this was not true, but this is a. machine age where Physical strength gives way before mental acumen. Comments on the declining moral standard also are not as gloomy as they seem. We have had similar ob- servations at all times and in all ages. Every depression has produced similar phenomena for very obvious Teasons. But the trend of society and of civilization has been forward and there is no good reason to expect a change in that situation now. 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, ‘We Want Langer’ (New York Times) Such was the cry of the friends of civic virtue who renominated William Langer for Governor of North Dakota in the Republican primary the day before a Federal district judge sen- tenced him to eighteen months in the Penitentiary and a fine of $10,000 for defrauding the United States Govern- ment by soliciting political funds from Federal employes. So the peni- tentiary, too, wants Mr. Langer. The next day he got a Federal court order granting him an appeal to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals. Six members of his Cabinet quit, in sym- Pathy with Lieut. Gov. Olson, who took the oath as Governor, perhaps somewhat prematurely, on June 23. The State Supreme Court has recog- nized Mr. Olson's right as Acting Gov- ernor and yesterday “was to have” issued a writ of quo warranto. The Federal district court dangled a faint hope before the persecuted Chief Magistrate. Should his conviction be reversed, his disqualification on ac- count of felony would cease and he might return to the helm of office. He is made of sterner stuff. He sticks to the helm. On July 12 he called a spe- cial session of the Legislature, which eats out of his hand, to meet today and investigate his conviction by a Federal court jury. This is a queer . Is the so-much-wanted Langer going to defy a Federal Dis- trict Court as the State of Georgia— President Jackson with it—defied the that the suicide curve, which reached!

THE DRUNKS THAT GO FREE Young man driving a car with four passengers attempted a quick swerve from the path of another car at a corner and wrecked upon a lamppost. ‘Some of his passengers were serious- ly injured. Just who was at fault is uncertain, but anyway the young man was arrested for drunken driving, and held in jail on some technicality which precluded bail. Some of his friends brought strong influence to bear, but the judge was firm and the young man served his time in jail. He and his friends indignantly de- clare he had had “only one or two” drinks at the party they had attend- ed. The familiar alibi. If I were a Judge one drink would be ample to sustain the charge. It seems to me that any person who deliberately takes one drink and then attempts to drive an automo- bile deserves censure or punishment for recklessly endangering the life and limb of the other driver or the pedes- trian who happens to cross his path. Now this is an assertion of scien- tific fact and not a mere opinion of @ prejudiced crank. By actual meas- urements it has been ascertained that @ person who has had one or two little drinks is from one-fifth to two- to a signal. If such a person sees another driver bearing down on him or @ pedestrian crossing in front of him or a child darting out from the curb, he takes precisely one-fifth to two-fifths of a second longer to de- cide what he is going to do about it, and meantime the accident has hap- pened. Owing to the large number of drinkers in the population and their traditional attitude in respect to scientific teachings concerning the effects of alcohol, the law is very lenient for drunken drivers and in- away with maiming or murder. The drunken drivers that escape ac- asserted the autonomy of the Chero- kee Nation? Tuesday he smelled bloodshed and insurrection and declared martial law in his capital, intimating that the whole State might need it “before {morning.” He will yield his office jonly to force. Hot-headed Governors are prone to declare martial law. Such a declaration gives no new pow- er to the Governor, suspends no civil rights. It is only a warning to the citizen that the Executive has called on the military power to help him maintain law and order, He must commit no acts that would make that maintenance harder. The North Da- kota emergency recalls Alfalfa Bill's twenty or more applications of this medicine. Yesterday Mr. Olson re- voked Mr. Langer’s call for a special session. It is hard to understand the “high judicial authority” quoted in an Asso- ciated Press dispatch from Bismarck as holding that Federal troops may be brought into North Dakota “as a re- sult of Mr. Langer’s defiance of the Supreme Court”—the Supreme Court of the State. What has the Federal Government to do with that? In a dispute in a State as to which official or organ of Government is de jure, the Federal Government usually follows the decision of the State tribunal that acts upon such disputes. No doubt the Supreme Court of the United States would follow the decision of the Supreme Court of North Dakota; but on what ground can the Federal Government be asked for troops? North Dakota has “‘a republican form of government.” Nobody is invading it except reporters. By the use of National Guardsmen William the Wanted is already protecting it against domestic violence. His Legis- lature is not going to apply to the Federal Government for protection. The Legislature being in session, Mr. Olson can’t apply unless it consents to decision of the Supreme Court that 17 For fear that. 18 Hair ornament ff 19 Paragraph in a newspaper. 20 To rent. 21 Wager. 22In the mid- dle of. 45 Relating to 24 Silkworm. morning. , 25 Sailor. 48 Pronoun. 27.At the pres- 50 Rubber port in ent time.

THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, JULY 26, 1934 Letters should be brief and written cidents because the other driver or the pedestrian happens to be sober and alert, are the most prejudiced of all, for they assume that because they habitually drink and then drive without accident, all this stuff about alcohol retarding the reaction time is @ lot of hooey. Such persons on a jury are sure to sympathize with the driver who has exercised his liberty even at the price of maiming or kill- ing some one, Frequently we see statistics of the frightful havoc wrought by automo- bile traffic and pleas to drivers to obey the law and the rules of the Toad and to be careful. Since the law is so lenient in interpreting drunken driving, and since so many people lixe a little drink themselves, the automobile will doubtless long re- main our most deadly weapon. In- stead of urging drivers to be careful we should beg them to be sober. Or if that seems too much like interfer- ence with their personal liberty, then put it this way: No one is quite fit to take the responsibility of driving within an hour or two after a drink or two. Many who do like a drink hhave an excellent rule: Don't drink if you have to drive home, or don’t drive if you've had a QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Growing Hair By following the instructions. in your valuable monograph on Hair and Dandruff about three months I have @ new growth of hair over the entire scalp and the old hair is not falling now.

The farm administration, the sur- plus relief corporation and the fed- eral relief administration were busy with plans for speedy disposal of cattle bought by the government and outlining other relief steps which may be taken in the midwest. Secretary Wallace insisted the crop curtailment efforts of the farm ad- ministration had alleviated some of the drouth distress. Saved Feed by Slaughter He said the slaughter of pigs had resulted in the saving of approxi- mately 50,000,000 bushels of corn; the corn loan program had increased the price and decreased consumption and the taking of land out of wheat had increased the amount of pasturage available. The need of feed is one of the principal concerns in the Stricken area. The secretary said the drouth might distort the judgment of many “people in terms of ordinary weather,” but that the situation in 1936 and 1937 should be kept in mind in any discussion of abandoning crop ad- justment plans.
