An Improvement Something more than a year ago, at the Buggestion of this newspaper, the state high- ‘way department adopted the practice of paint- ing a yellow line in the center of our hard-sur- faced highways. Whether or not it is an effective safety measure has not been definitely proved but that it offers a better OPPORTUNITY to drive safely is beyond question, Now the state highway department is fur- ther developing the idea and reducing its cost by “breaking” the stripe at regular’ intervals. Thus only half as much paint is needed as for- merly—an important consideration. On curves and over hills, however, the stripe remains solid, thus serving notice on motorists that those are danger areas in which they should drive carefully and remain on their own side of the road. This is a worth-while development and one which, if the auto drivers of this state are in- terested in becoming better insurance risks, should save many lives. The Tribune, which first suggested the protection of the road stripe, is glad to commend it as a worth-while improvement. Rumors of Trouble One can hear anything, these days, and not the least interesting report is one widely printed in European newspapers that Mussolini and the king of Italy are at odds over the war. The king hasn't the heart for high adventure and has begged Mussolini to desist, but the dictator keeps to his chosen path. So desperate is the situation, according to these | reports, that King Victor Emmanuel has threatened to abdicate. in favor of Crown Prince Humbert and the lat- ter, more youthful and fiery, has promised to show Il Duce a thing or two if he comes to the throne. Already, #0 the story goes, Humbert has had a brisk exchange of words with the dictator, informing him that, if he were the monarch, he would appeal directly to the people and take everything on hope of their support. It is possible that all of this is mere rumor but 4t would be strange indeed if at least some of it were not true. The modern king must have something of a feeling for his people if he is to survive, whereas dictators are cast in a different mold. Their minds usually are keener and their stomachs certainly are stronger. The probability is that nothing will come of it. Thrones are not things to be risked lightly and if a showndown comes there would be little doubt as to which faction would rule. For Mussolini controls the army, even though it is sworn to allegiance to the king, and in European affairs the sword usually is the dominant factor. An American Epic Death of General Adolphus Greely calls to mind for B fleeting moment, one of the great epics of American exploration. His was not the most successful expedition into the far north but it is one of the most famous. Its story pictures the American army and navy at the peak of| skilled in the dark intricacies of corporation law, got their finest traditions. For the story of the Greely ex- pedition is one of heroism, fortitude and perseverance unexcelled in the history of the country. The dangers which it faced and the hardships encountered are best told by the fact that only seven of the 25 men who ‘were marooned four years in the Arctic wastes returned to civilization. That they lived at all was a miracle. ‘That they retained their sanity is almost unbelievable, for those endless days and nights in the Arctic dark- ness were calculated to try the inner-most fiber of any man. It speaks volumes for the kind of man Greely was that he managed to hold his command together and to/ +. maintain some sort of discipline. All too little has been written about that exploit, although it probably has served as the model for more then state officials have urged farmers to protect them- selves. . Pchind the Scenes in Washington By RODNEY DUTCHER ' PWA Breaks Up a Touching Case of True Love ... Even Why Congressmen Flee .. . Mr. Cohen Is Surprised. |... “Pa” Fergusen Likes AAA—Checks, eee Washington, Oct, 22.—Until recently the New Deal had been accused of everything except alienation of af- fections. Now it’s being sued for tliat. The charge arises in the suit of an Oklahoma utility company to prevent PWA from through a $100,- 000 allotment to Hominy, Okla., for a municipal electric power plant. The supreme court will have to decide. Attorney Dean Acheson, former undersecretary of the treasury, who was let out when he became unsympa- thetic, left no doubt inshis appearance before the Dis- trict of Columbia federal court that he sought to picture the utility company as a fond, loyal husband, the mu- nicipality an: érring wife, and PWA as a free-spending good-time-Charlie who had purloined the lady away. ‘The utility and the town had dwelt in happy con- tractual relationship, the lawyer said, and although the franchise was but on a day-to-day basis, PWA had rup- tured a contractual relationship. This argument, aimed at federal aid for power plants, is a precedent and about 15 other utilities have been around to Acheson's firm lately with the same plea. eee WHY CONGRESSMEN FLEE The good judgment of the scores of ssmen congre: | taking off on that junket to the Philippines is indicated in this excerpt from a letter received by your correspond- {ent from a congressman in a western state: “My dear constituents attack me by the flank, the right and left; they swarm in through the windows; they come in through the cracks in the walls; they pursue me in my sleep and they get in bed with me at night. But, like Gargantua, I am brave and I shall do battle, and go forward to the end.” Meaning that the pressure, especially for jobs, never lets up. The civil service commission will have examinations for 8.100 new postal jobs created by the 40-hour-week |law for postal employes. It estimates it will have per- haps 365,000 applications for those positions. | see the High Court Justices Will Jest... Easy to See} THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, TUESDAY A SURPRISE FOR MR. COHEN Mr. Ben Cohen, celebrated brain truster, recently received a communication from the American Liberty League. It invited him to sign up with the league's na- tional lawyers’ committee (sometimes called ‘“Jouett Shouse’s supreme court”), asked whether he would be willing to aid organization of a committee in his’ com- munity, and left blanks where he might name the amount of his contribution—in cash down or instalments. THEY CAN UNBEND An unidentified supreme court justice, view- ing the dazzling new court building opposite the Capitol, whispered that “We're going to look like nine little black cockroaches climbing up those steps.” And Justice Harlan Fiske Stone added: “Yes, we ought to go riding in there on nine white elephants!” Mr. Cohen, in his mild way, was somewhat surprised. He is chief author of the securities act, the stock market act, and ti.e public utilities holding company act —which the lawyers’ committee will soon brand as “un- constitutional.” eee ‘PA’ SHOULD BE PLEASED Rexford Guy Tugwell, undersecretary of agriculture- resettlement administrator, lately in Mexico, stopped off in Texas and met many Texans. Arriving late at night \in San Antonio, he was met by his friend, Congressman | Maury Maverick, and insisted he wanted to see the Alamo at once. Returning to Tugwell’s hotel from the Alamo, they | |met in the lobby former Gov. Jim Ferguson, husband 'of the famous “Ma.” | “I am for the AAA and the Democratic administra-) tion and you folks are all right,” Ferguson told him. Tugwell thanked him very sincerely for those kind words. | “Yes,” added Jim, “I got my AAA check this morn-j ue: eee DON’T CALL ME ‘FOX’ Old university mates of Gov.

Each Lawyer His Own Supreme Court! (Bruce Catton in NEA Service) It was probably inevitable that any nation which spawns lawyers at the rate our own fair land does even- tually would get into a fearsome hair-splitting fight over the Constitution. This does not refer to the current argument about whether the Contsitution should be amended. That is something else again, a question of vast importance de- serving all the study and argument it can get. i What we are talking about is the unending squab- | ble over what the document actually means as it stands. Acting apparently on the theory that, since this is a free country, every man is entitled to his own opinion, the citizens have been rushing to and fro of late at a merry clip, explaining why this, that, or the other new law is or is not constitutional. The prize exhibit in all this is the unofficial su- preme court recently set up under auspices of the Amer- ican Liberty League. No fewer than 58 eminent lawyers, together solemnly and threw the Wagner labor relations act out of the window. The mere fact that this court consisted almost ex- clusively of men who represent the country’s chief com- binaticns of finance and industry can be 1d over. After all, the Liberty league had to take what it could lor “The thing would be much easier | OCTOBER Looking Over the Prospects | POLITIcs NATION'S CAPITOL ! | | G. By BYRON PRICE | (Chief of Bureau, the \. ited | Press, W: | ) i Guesses about prospective Republi- | can presidential candidates, cover a) very wide range, but in the last an- alysis the conjectures now center mainly around two men — Herbert Hoover and William E. Borah. | This does not mean thtt the nom- ination lies between these two. In-j deed, the most prevalent guess of all) is whether either of them will be a candidate at all. | It does mean, however, that no dis-| cussion of the outlook can go very far without someone saying either,.“if we! cnly knew what Hoover means to do,” to figure if Borah could be induced to announce his real intentions.” For no matter how sure the politi- | cal prophets may pretend to be when | they speak for publication, it can be set down with certainty that they} will remain disturbed and doubtful in| their own minds unless and unjil! Hoover and Borah declare them- selves. , ee # Republican Contrast i The reasons for this are apparent. The two are regarded by many voters as personifying the two Repubican schools of thought. Each possesses a potential influence not claimed by; any other candidate. The strength of both seems to be augumented by the contrast in their personalities and methods, and by the fact that each is surrounded by a certain air of mystery, Mr. Hoover is the titular leader of his party. He has been president. iwhich some believe has been equal- He polled (in 1928) more votcs than any other Republican in history. In the year of Republican disaster, 1932, he polled better than 15,000,- 000 votes. Mr. Borah isa popular hero to large sections of the electorate. His name has been a household word for nearly @ generation. He is possessed of a Power of eloquence and persuasion led in no other American since Bryan. No other aspirant pretends to com- | mand similar qualities. Arriving by; two distinctly separate routes, these | two men are conceded in almost every quarter to be assured of a! headstart over the field—if they de-/ sire to start at all. | * * * | The Guesses About Hoover ! The general surmise among the politicians is that Mr. Hoover will not run; but this conclusion does not ap- pear to be based on actual informa- tion, ; It arises quite naturally from al recognition of the extreme difficul-j ties of a political comeback after the , sweeping defeat of 1932. It arises: from a belief that, with a large sec- tion of his party actively antagonistic, Mr. Hoover could not hope to be nom: inated, or elected if he were nom-| inated. Certainly there are abundant signs that the former president himself has not put irrevocably aside all Dossi- | bility of a “vindication” nomination. He is not out enrolling delegates, but he is speaking directly ta pros- pective delegates and saying plainly that if the voters had known what the Roosevelt administration intend- ed to do, the Republican ticket would have won in 1932. He has not announced a candidacy, but he most pointedly has not said he would not be a candidate.

She rang the bell, and presently was admitted by Susie. Elaine said, “Do you remember me, Susie?

Me an’ we been watchin’ for & like he ‘herited his papa’s judg- ment.” “No wonder you're proud of him,” Blaine said. As she talked to Susie she strolled about the wide hall and living room, casually lancing at beok titles and framed photographs. She noticed that the MeNellls read the same books and magazines which people in New York were reading. On one of the bookcabes was a silver-framed pho tograph of the most fateresting young man she had ever seen. She knew at once that it was John Mc Neill. Her heart beat rapidly. She remarked, with a confidential smile, “I think he’s even more attractive now than he used to be at 16, Susie!” “Seem like he think the same thing ‘bout you,” Susie stated. Elaine said, “I'm awfully re- Ueved to hear how well things are going in Washington. Have Mr. John come over to see mo the min- ute he gets back, will you Susie?” When she entered the Hunter hall she saw a telegram lying on the table. It was addressed to Miss Elaine Chaliers. She opened it and read John’s Message, intended for Ruth. Blaine's emotions were mixed.

JONES telephoned from the beauty parlor to say she was going to a movie after work and would not be home before 13 o'clock. She felt safe about the sirls, she told Ruth, since she was with them.
