D:m-cracy in Texas If we think the workings of Dem- ocracy have resulted in same strange situations in our own state, consider ‘Texas where more than 50 candidates are seeking election to fill a vacancy in the general assembly with pros- pects that the number may exceed 100. This strange condition exists in the city of Dellas and the post at stake is the representation of some 300,000 persons. It has become a joke because so many persons have taken advantage of their right of citizen- ship. The issue now is not who will be elected but how many can be Dersuaded to run. Entering the leg- islative contest has become a game. If ever there was a political free- for-all this is it. i Newspapers keep tab of the entries in exactly the same spirit that they report the scores of football games, but with considerably more levity, one headline stating that “Reporter, Evangelist, Clerk announce but no butcher or baker yet,” and another, telling about the entry of a woman in jail with a year yet to serve say- ing “Kate Johnson's platform will be released soon—but not Kate.” It seems to have become a matter of local pride to increase the list to battalion size. If the cure for Democracy’s ills is more Democracy Dallas is about to have its fill. ‘There are dangers in this situa- tion, of course. For example it is obvious that whoever is elected will be merely @ minority candidate. More serious than this is the manner in which it holds our form of gov- ernment up to ridicule. It shows what travesties can occur when peo- Ple refuse to take the business of government seriously. Still it has its saving graces. It shows a sense of humor rampant in Texas which is peculiarly American. As a nation we have always been subject to ridiculous excesses. It may be that the people of Dallas have merely taken this method of notify- ing the world that they are back to normal. Consider the En._loyed So much has been said on behalf of the unemployed during recent years that we have been prone to overlook the importance of the man who still has a job or a business. Between thinking about and legislating for the fellow on the bottom and con- demning the man on top, there has THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, MARCH 1, 1935 ing to be late for school; the boy said, “Think up an excuse.” Now the funny part about it is that from the psychiatrist's viewpoint both of these answers were wrong—al- though any ordinary mortel would find them pretty sensible answers to rather pecullar questions. Tests which give the subject zeros for answers as intelligent as these jeannot, properly, be called intelli- gence tests at all. 22 Years for Good Although much of the “charity work” previously done by private or- Ganizations is now financed by fed- eral government appropriations, the Old-fashioned Community Chest re- ™mains the backbone of local efforts to help the unfortunate; and it is worth noticing that March 1 is the 22nd anniversary of the formation of the first organization of that kind in America, This took place in Cleveland, O., when the Federation for Charity and Philanthropy—later to be known as the Community Fund—was founded in 1913. The idea proved to be such & good one that it was widely copied. p|Today there are 414 Community Chests in as many American cities, The Community Chest has led to greater efficiency and better service in community social work. The an- niversary of its inception is worth more than @ passing glance in com- memoration, Sign of Pzosperity Although progress is halting and un- certain, there can be no doubt that the general trend of business has been better during recent months. The level of activity has approached that which occurred in June, 1933, when a large number of manufac- turers were working at top speed to Pile up inventories before the NRA Could become effective. This time, however, there is no such incentive to speculative action. But there are other signs that things are getting better, not the least of which is the report of the American Kennel club that more dogs were registered with it during Janu- ary than in any previous month in its history. It costs a dollar to reg- ister an animal with this organiza- tion and $6,250 was taken in during the month for this purpose as com- pared with 4,300 for the same month last year. Since the prolixity of canines takes no account of depressions it is only fair to assume that there are no more dogs than formerly. It is only that more are being registered. It may be deduced that more people are buying blooded dogs, which are distinctly a luxury, because they are able to pay for them. One interested in social phenomena might also wonder a little if the in- creasing popularity of Rover and his brothers might not be due toa greater tendency for people to return to the simple pleasures and pursuits which ate @ tradition with us rather than to the hectic pleasures of the pre- depression era.

Nearly everyone, especially in the senate, belongs to some one of many groups opposed to the president on one issue or another. If the groups ever got together on @ single vote it would be just too bad for the administration. But they won't and probably can’t, except on the bonus or perhaps partially on a labor issue. Just the same, it's tough on F. D., who has had to do more personal lobbying than at any time before.
