Plomasen, who recently} took over the duties of maintenance) engineer for the state highway de- partment, faces a rather difficult task but he also has a splendid op- Portunity to make a showing. Because of the dry weather it) would have been difficult to main- tain our roads in good condition with steady work on the part of all main- tenance employes. But when to this/ condition is added the effects of a| political system of caring for roads, | the effect has been devastating. Trucks and cars kept running while the maintenance lads were off to the political wars, hence some of the difficulties which Plomasen faced when he took it over. His initial moves in clearing the decks of a/ swarm of political hangers-on was) merely a preliminary to the real job of putting our highways back in| shape, which is truly a big one. If! he gets proper cooperation and has enough money left in the road fund! to do it, he may yet get the roads in such shape that the political pha- lJanxes can drive over them in com- fort during the coming campaign. Meanwhile, he might give atten- 2.00 clear when it was penned. It lacks both the clarity and directness of his earlier state papers. Perhaps, from the standpoint of the Germans, that will be an asset. When one.isn’t sure what a statement means it is easy to believe that it means whatever the reader wants it to mean. The Marines Leave Haiti That little news dispatch the other day telling how the last of the United States Marines have left the island of Haiti was of more than passing significance. More than anything bel else, it typifies our new attitude to- 90 | Ward our South American neighbors. Haiti is one of the more backward of the republics and may again need help from us, but it is hardly prob- able that it will be extended in the form of military assistance. If the level of intelligence in Haiti is in- sufficient to meet peaceably the prob- lems of the struggling nation—and there is no doubt that it is low—the dark-skinned natives will have to fight it out as best they can. The new note in our diplomacy calls for a hands-off policy in the tropics. No longer will American troops be sent into remote republics to protect American investments. It is an international development of “human rights over property rights” about which we have heard so much in recent years. Our ma- rines have human rights as well as anyone else, and one of them is not to get shot at on the slightest provo- cation as too often has been the case in the past. We learned a costly lesson in Nica- Tagua and that, as well as the new stability in the island, caused our withdrawal from Haiti, The marines did a swell job there but that will hardly justify sending them back ex- cept in case of the gravest emer- gency affecting the well-being of the United States. Just One Man Mary Pickford still is America’s sweetheart, despite her 40 odd years, according to the press agents, but that fact apparently brings her no contentment. Like any other woman, she would rather be the sweetheart of one particular man than of all the outside world. Her public remains just that. It cannot take the place of the intimate personal relationship which every normal person of either sex craves, may yet be reconciled thrills many an Oklahoma, Louisian. a and North Dakota PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE By William Brady, M.

He might, for exam- ple, eliminate as quickly as possible the numerous ridges of gravel which decorate the roads, thereby reducing their width and making driving dan- gerous, particularly at night. This system may or may not have caused some of our numerous accidents, but it easily could do so and should be eliminated at once. He should spread on the roads the gravel which his predecessors placed along the edges. It might help the roads and it cer- tainly would help automobile drivers. Ousted ‘For Cause’ Decision of the state supreme court that Former Governor Langer had the right to oust R. E. Wenzel from the workmen's compensation bureau “for cause” doubtless is in line with the law, but it also carries a new warning to the people of North Da- kota. It emphasizes all over again the necessity of having fairness and de- cency in the governor's chair rather than unbridled ambition and con- tempt for fair play. The law makes the governor the judge as to the adequacy of the cause in such actions. If he gives an cused man opportunity to be heard he has complied with the law, no matter how unjust his decision. An ouster order may be based on a dis- like for the accused man's taste in neckties, but if the formalities have een observed the victim has no re- course, Testimony taken at the hearing in} the Wenzel case emphasized strongly that the accused man was a compe- tent public official. It proved that he was interested in protecting both the public and persons injured in industry who had claims against the bureau. Yet the ouster order was issued for the rather obvious pur- pose of gaining control of another state bureau, improving the collec- tions under the five-per-cent racket. The best possible light on the Wen- zel case is shed by the fact that the five-per-cent collection for the de- posed governor was made in that de- partment last month, despite the change in the state administration. Langer men still are in control there and they still are playing Langer’s game. A Peculiar Document It was a rather unusual political will which Paul von Hindenburg left to Germany, particularly to the youth of that nation. To the Teutonic mind it may be clear enough, but to the average American, used as he is to political blood and thunder couched in un- mistakable terms, it is just a bit vague. While it sounds again the tocsin of German greatness and calls the na- tion to a new unity, it also car- strength from it as “Old Paul,” on his desth bed, doubtless intended ly—as the great romance of our age. The simple fact is that romance is may be more of it in many a hard- pressed North Dakota farm family than in all of Hollywood. But the drum of existence. For that reason happily ever after. ence, Now We Know William Langer began his tour of 11 question then was as to the purpose of this expedition. Speaking in Aberdeen Tuesday, the deposed governor made it clear that up all the trouble he can for the na- tional administration on the ground that it has been unkind to him. In- cidentally, he is attacking the Agri- cultural Adjustment Administration, despite the fact that it has been one of the main sources of income for North Dakota farmers this year. Truly, @ personal peeve is a won- derful thing, but it is doubtful if this stand will win any votes for Mrs. Langer, who now has taken up the political cudgels for her husband. One of the things we admire about women is the confident way they blow their nose on a three-by-four lace handkerchief.

The Farm Prospect (Hazelton Independent) Perhaps never again will the people of this section be called upon to face @ situation as serious as the present) one, although with the taking out of all the livestock in the country we can expect several more years of mighty hard times. The unprecedented drouth has forced on the farmers the necessity of getting rid of practically all their livestock; many cannot find even enough feed to carry a few milk cows through the winter and the necessity of buying fuel and warm clothes stares them in the face from now on.

Moffett will be relieved as head of the Federal Housing Admin- istration are not based on any belief that Mr. Moffett isn’t getting enough publicity. Publicity is vitally essential to FHA. 1The trouble is that it’s Mr. Moffett who's getting it all—or all, that is, *jexcept as the limelight reflects upon the housing drive after first bouncing off Mr. Moffett. The stories, to be sure, mention the fact that Mr. Mof- fett is housing administrator. The day Mr. Moffett wrested away for FHA the new offices of the Indian Bureau, in the middle of its big new Program, you could tell you were go- ing to hear more of Mr. Moffett. And you did, sure enough. First you heard how he has moved his big yacht Bidou herc—and an of- fice in it, though he has two others. Then how his daughter Adelaide was looking for a night club or radio sing- Jjob—she got one, I believe. Then how scmebody was suing Mr. Moffett for an alleged $18,- 000 unpaid balance on the yacht. And most lately how Mr. Moffett was demanding that local officials boct cut from their wharf the yacht of John Hays Hammond, Jr., s0 Mr. Moffett could moor the Bidou there. ‘Then you actually saw and heard Mr. Moffett himself at a Press Club aneremeeaieittttnetttt tae Rito EAY program on to succeed.
