Everybody Is Welcome Bismarck, where the latchstrin, ‘ways is out and where “welcome ‘ways shines clear on the doormat, in- vites the entire countryside, in this issue of The Tribune, to visit the Capital City during the week of Octo- ber 6 to 13. a The Tribune, in its own behalf as ‘well as on behalf of the merchants whose advertisements appear in this edition, joins in this invitation. To all who are interested it asks that they come and visit The Tribune Plant, see the presses run and learn how a daily newspaper is made. Bismarck merchants offer special inducements during these “capacity days” for all who wish to fill their winter needs. Fresh fall merchan- dise is being offered at attractive prices. Stocks still are complete and shoppers during this week will have ® wide range of goods from which to make their selection. ‘Those who can do so should ar- range to visit the capitol building, described in this edition by word and picture. But even the finest pictures ‘and the best chosen words are poor substitutes for an inspection of the structure itself, It must be seen to be appreciated and who has a bet- ter right to inspect it than the aver- age citizen who, after all, is the man who owns it. One of the special features of this week is the all-star baseball game, in which a nine composed of North Dakota's best will clash with a travel- mg aggregation of men whose names joom large in the national pastime. Fans who are unable to travel to the world series will have opportunity to see men of world series caliber in ac- tion, for what team in the series would not give something for a Manush or a Foxx at this critical juncture. ‘The week is frankly intended to be ® trade stimulator, but it also is more than that, It is, in a way, Bismarck’s expression of good-will toward the]: vast territory which it serves. It is Tecognition of the fact that all of us are neighbors and that the best interests of North Dakota are served by promotion of neighborly feeling. It is a gesture of goodwill. It is recog- nition of the interdependence of town and country and a desire to extend the right hand of cooperation and friendliness to all residents of the ‘east and west Missouri Slope districts. ‘Visitors always are welcome in Bis- marck, for we try to deserve the title of the “friendly city,” but at this time they are especially invited be- cause the capital has put on its best ‘bib and tucker to receive them. 140,000 Acres a Year In 1930, according to federal fig- ures, there were 77,975 farms in North Dakota, containing 38,657,804 acres, of which 24,528,120 were plant- ed to crops, Between 1930 and 1933 this state ‘experienced a veritable storm of fore- closures. Farm income was down. Land owners could not pay on their mortgages. Investors strove desper- ately to protect their own interests. ‘The effect of this economic debacle ‘was passage by the 1933 legislature of ‘an act providing for @ legal mora- torium on such foreclosures. Judges ‘This bill was vetoed by William Langer, then governor, on the ground would make too much work Judges. economic situation then pre- is well known, aE 3 F which had pushed the first bill through the legislature and which had resented his veto, ‘That moratorium was in effect for approximately 18 months, It was hailed as @ grand political gesture. Some honestly believed it saved their own, T @ matter of business these two state agencies had to continue. operations. ‘What happened, in the case of the Bank of North Dakota, is disclosed in this edition of The Tribune. The Bank of North Dakota insists it obeyed the moratorium proclama- tion, but its records show that during 1933 it acquired 141,359.92 acres of land in 501 separate parcels, of which 415 were by sheriffs’ deeds, the out- come of foreclosure proceedings. During the year, according to the same authority, action was begun in 405 other cases which will bring 140,- 00| 946.48 more acres into the Bank of North Dakota's hands during the cur- rent year. ‘Thus is the working—or the failure to work—of the moratorium dis- closed. These figures are not cited for po- litical purposes but to prove a point which North Dakota must keep in mind. Our real need is for more in- come to pay our debts, provide our people with a better standard of liv- ing. A moratorium is useful only in that it protects us in our misery. It is true that we need that, but above all things we need an improved eco- nomic condition. We can bring it about by united and constructive ac- tion. Politics and the People In the upward struggle of the American people there have been re- curring times of crises in which events of far-reaching importance to Posterity have been recorded. These are such days. Nationally we have seen the launching of the most tremendous political experiments since the world was set by the ears a century and a half ago by the de- velopment of a new kind of state on ‘& little-known continent. What the outcome of these new experiments will be remains to be seen. All of us hope they will be good and that the results will prove the genius of our nation for meeting new conditions with new remedies, In our state government, also, we are confronted with a crisis, and the need for constructive treatment of the problems which confront us. The ‘common desire is to retain all that was good in the old order, seek to change those things which have not been beneficial. ‘The mood of the state as well as of the nation is frankly experimen- tal. We have gone through an eco- nomic Gethsemane and the common determination is that the misery and tears of untold thousands shall not have been in vain, But, in assaying the various reme- dies which are offered for our com- mon ills, there are certain principles which must guide us. There is no disposition to scrap the old merely because it is old, or to accept the new merely because it is new. The rules of common sense require first an im- partial search for the facts and then '® sound application of those facts to the problems in hand. ‘The vast bulk of our problems are economic. Too many of our people exist on a minimum living scale. That condition must and will be changed if all of us express a will to change First of all, we need conservation of the water we have and the de- velopment of more water resources. If this need takes us into the political field, we must remember that the end, rather than the means, is the important thing. Compared with it, Personalities are unimportant. ‘We must have unquestioned honesty in government, Without it initia- tive ts dulled, energy is handicapped, civic duty becomes a mockery and the entire fabric of the state becomes moth-eaten. ‘We must have strict observance of the constitution, the basic law of the state and nation, and honest in- terpretation of that document. ‘This means we must have a free and untrammeled judiciary with no allegiance other than that to the People as ® whole. Political domina- tion of our courts must be rejected, else all will become pawns of the state and justice become a myth. Honest courts are the foundation of the American system of government. They are absolutely necessary to our ‘community well-being. The people of North Dakota need to review their problems in the light of the facts with regard to their own needs and not the desires of any po- litical group. They must take seri- ous and unprejudiced counsel with each other, for policies adopted now may be difficult to change in the future. If, for example, a corrupt political machine is installed in office at the ‘coming election, it may take years to get rid of it. If our supreme court is made subservient to the whims of @ political dictator, the wells of jus- tice will become polluted and it may take years to cleanse them. If we miss opportunities to win advantages for the state through cooperation with the national government, we must bid them goodbye, for they may never come again. ‘These are the real questions in the curren§ economic situation and the attendant political crisis which is merely an-evidence of the larger is- sue. They place North Dakota's citi- zenship under a test. The manner in which we meet it will, to a large extent, determine our future.

Fact poi been warned. People expect a phy- sician to be solemn or at least dig- nified. a Some persons snore to beat the band if they lie on their backs, and cease snoring if they turn onto their sides. When one lies supine the tongue and the soft palate, relaxed in sleep, tend to fall back and cover the mouth of the larynx. That produces @ tremendous snore. But when one away from the larynx and so the breathing is not obstructed. While some individuals snore only Positions. Some authorities argue that the best position for prevention of snoring is vertical, at the end of @ short length of rope, but as as I say, a doctor should strive to be earn- est at all times. . People who snore a great deal do 80 for three main reasons. One reason is they have chronic rhinitis or chronic pharyngitis and are so dumb or so close that they just won't have the trouble properly treated by the physician. People who snore are ac- tually dumb, thick-headed, dull-wit- ted, that is, if they are aware of the intolerable annoyance they give others who have to sleep in the same house with them. A smart individual who is aware that he snores will lose no time consulting his physician and have the snore removed. . ‘The second reason is a studied neg- lect of physical training. Snoring possibly ride, nor do they ever climb stairs if they can find a lift. At first they avoid exercise because it seems rather uncouth and unfashionable, and, besides it is so low to sweat. Presently they avoid exercise because they haven't the ambition to do any- thing. This false view of life gets them into a flabby, soft condition, and that favors snoring. So the cure in such cases is adequate daily exer- cise. Nothing is better than three to six miles of walking every day. The third and perhaps most com- mon cause of snoring is oversize. Not necessarily overweight, but oversize, This is due not so much to over- eating as to unbalanced diet.

By WILLIS THORNTON (Tribune, Washington Correspondent) Washington, Sept. 29.—Congres- sional candidates this fall are going to suffer from chronic curvature of the spine from holding their ears to the ground. “ If you are secretary: of a Society for the Building of Public Roads to) the Doors of Men Who Have Invent- ed Better Mousetraps, you'll get an attentive ear for your plan from your congressional candidate. The rush of responses to the Amer- ican Federation of Labor’s question- naire on labor legislation is a good index of this receptive frame of mind. Within a week of sending out let- ters to the 800-odd congressional candidates in the November election, more than 100 replies had been re- ceived, and they're flooding in at the Tate of 25 or more a day. This 1s a new departure in A. FP. of L, tactics—getting pledges in ad- vance to support 5 ic things. Formerly the A.
