The project is entirely worth-while and deserves the support of every citizen, in spirit as well as in deed, for the sentiment behind it is a laudable one. It is based on the theory that old friends and old ties are best and is instituted in the! hope that, every year at this season, they will} call the wanderers home, at least for a little while, to rest their souls and taste again the/ peace which exists only around the native hearth. This is our first experience with such an event, and it is sincerely to be hoped that it will be a pleasant one, not so much for us who live here constantly as for those who take ad- vantage of the invitation to return to the scene of former activity, if only for a little while. For the idea and for the energy which bids fair to make it a pronounced success, the city is | indebted to the Junior Association of Com- merce, a body of up-and-coming young business | and professional men organized for the purpose of making this a better city in which to live. It is their maiden effort and they deserve en-| couragement and co-operation. Incidentally, it will not hurt Bismarck resi- dents to enter into the spirit of the occasion, make a conscious effort to make homecoming really worth-while. If such an event needs a slogan it might well be “Everybody smile.” Internal Tariffs How complex is the problem of nation-wide recovery is brought sharply home to us by the action of southern cotton farmers and businessmen in protesting Wiscons- | {n’s tax of 15 cents a pound on oleomargarine and vege- | table shortening. Wisconsin's legislature voted it to protect native; butter and animal fats, but the south resents it because; {t diminished the market for cottonseed oil. In Atlanta! and other cities, according to news dispatches, a move- | gent has been launched to boycott Wisconsin beer, paper, plumbing supplies, machinery, butter, cheese and evapor- ; ted milk. | ‘The probability is that nothing permanent will come | of it. Such things have a way of occupying public at- tention for a little while and then dropping out of sight mation, the difficulty of reconciling conflicting sectional; §nterests and the desirability of maintaining inviolate that secton of the constitution which prohibits the States from imposing tariffs against each other. Carried to extremes, the tendency such as has de- eloped in Wisconsin—and in North Dakota with its 10- gent-a-pound tax on oleomargarine—might easily become the basis for a major court battle to determine if one etate can practically bar the products of another because they compete with home-produced goods. Football Deaths Gridiron casualties this fell, according to an Associ- ted Press compilation, total only 19. Of these only one was that of a college student and it takes considerable fmagination to blame football at all, since he died from; {mfection of an injury received a year ago. Three were | Jnigh school lads and the rest were sandlotters, youths who suffered injury while kicking or playing with a football in impromptu organization. Another noticeable fact about the list is the length to which it is necessary to go to classify football as the cause of fatality. A boy suffers a heart attack while lacing his shoes in a locker room, another dies from in- fection of a scratch, a third gets meningitis, and so on. Any of these deaths might have been caused by ping pong or tennis, if not by tiddle de winks. It may be the different type of game now being played, but whatever the reason, the casualty list to date teis season makes mention of only one broken back and one broken neck, In view of the thousands of boys playing football the number is small, indeed. It would seem that boys are practically as safe on the football field as they would be if they were exposed to the hazards of automobile traffic for a similar period of time. “There is only one point in the United States where states touch.” But Washington, we understend, has comeback performance, Cherry agree audiences are nicer now than they used to then, too, vegetables are higher. The Bismarck Tribune! Ychind the Scenes in Washington By RODNEY DUTCHER New Dealers See Oklahoman Edging Toward Candidacy With His Attacks on Brain Trusters; Doubt If He Can Stifle Ambitions Until 1940. Washington, Oct. 31.—Many administrationists andj. neutral political observers who until recently were sus- pecting that Hugh 8, Johnson had designs on the presi- dency in 1940 have now come to the conclusion that the general just can’t wait. Johnson presumably would deny presidential am- bitions at this time. But his attacks on the New Deal, beginning conspicuously with an article in the Saturday Evening Post, convince some of the highest officials here that someone has persuaded the general that he may have to run for high office to save the nation from disaster. Secretary Wallace the other day openly cited opin- ions of friends that the general was a candidate for the Republican vice presidential nomination. Other cabinet members have expressed to intimates the belief that Johnson regards himself as a possible con- servative coalition presidential candidate. eee TUNNELS IN AT ROOSEVELT Edging ever closer to the Republican and American Liberty League positions, the general directs his attack Jat the policies, lieutenants, and advisers of Roosevelt, |rather than at Roosevelt himself. Neither Roosevelt nor anyone else gets any com- {fort from the distinction, for the effect is to brand | Roosevelt as the prize bonehead of all time. | And many here figure that, since F. D. obviously isn’t going to oblige Johnson by discarding the whole New Deal and its personnel, Johnson's next logical step would be to repudiate Roosevelt himself—however reluc- tantly—and oppose his re-election. The current surge of belief in Johnson’s presidential ambitions is, in some small part, sired by wish. New Dealers feel Johnson is mercurial, unstable, and poorly informed. But they'd rather pin him down as an actual presi- than to let him roam at large as a wild man flailing in all directions, who couldn’t be held to responsibility for his utterances. On the other hand, Johnson's iron-clad faith in his own infallibility and superior attainments encourages the belief that in the back of his head is an ambition to take over the whole show. oe TRIPS UP ON FRANKFURTER There’s much truth in Johnson’s description of the New Deal as a “mess.” But his insistence on blaming virtually all the innumerable New Deal mistakes on Dr. Felix Frankfurter of Harvard Law school and the Frank- furter graduates in the administration, whom he calls the “Happy Hot Dogs,” is commonly regarded here as demonstrating the general’s notorious lack of memory |@.

Today we have to spell things and it is not so easy to account for successions of boils. But we are still resourceful and if it comes to a pinch we can always subdue curiosity by introducing the word metabolism. Generally that quiets them, all right. It seems that boils are more likely to occur when there is a deficiency of carbohydrate metabolism, no fooling. That means inability to burn sugar well. If the sugar is not readily oxidised or burned to furnish energy in the body, an excess of sugar accumulates in blood and tissues. This is fre- quently found in cases of recurring boils. It may be a temporary condi- tion. Agair. in some instances it is the beginning of diabetes. Incidentally, we have learned in the past two or three years that an ade- quate supply of vitamins is essential to maintain normal carbohydrate metab- olism or to restore the body's power to burn and utilize sugar when this vital function is impaired. Mind, this is incidental; I am not suggesting that vi- tamins cure boils, altho good authorities have observed undue frequency of boils in the history of patients suffering from lack of vitamins A, C and B and G. Careles; or unskilled handling of Boil No. 1, and transplantation of pus- germs from this to a new site of operation is probably the common cause of Boil No. 2 and so on ad finitum. . One excellent first aid treatment for anything that threatens to become a boil is the immediate application of a thin disc of ordinary toilet soap the size of the thumb nail to the young pimple, and then a strip of adhesive plaster to hold this in place. Soap is an excellent antiseptic. Reminds me of the good old soap and brown sugar treatment grandma used for stone bruises when we were kids in Canadaigua. I don’t know whether the sugar added anything to the remedial value of the poultice, but I've never found anything better in materia medica with the possible exception of Old Doc Salve which some of you old timers may remember. Speaking of soap, which perhaps I should do, in view of my deplorable attitude toward bath tubs, I wish to go on record as of the opinion that not nearly enough soap is used in this country today, first by the young people for cleansing and beautifying their faces, and second by everybody for wash- ing their hands. In well regulated households there is # rigid rule requir- ing that the children carefully wash their hands before they come to the table to eat. There is greater need for such @ rule for grownups who eat in hotel dining rooms, restaurants, lunch rooms. It is not so much the visible dirt as it is the invisible pollution of the hands that matters, and the best way to remove that is by a thoro washing with plain soap and water— sanitary essentials which some health authorities too readily waive.

(Copyright, 1935, John F. Dille Co.) a | But it does emphasize the diversity of interest in this | EES and devotion to facts. Quite a few insiders here seem to remember the time when Johnson was begging and storming in an effort to get Frankfurter, instead of Donald Richberg, as general counsel for NRA. Anyone can recall the occasion when Johnson, in an ill-advised public moment, said every step of NRA had been taken in consultation with Justice Brandeis, whose {intimate relationship with Frankfurter is generally known, (Brandeis subsequently voted with a unanimous su- known to be horrified at the way it had operated under Johnson.) Now Johnson boasts that he kept the “Happy Hot Dogs” out of NRA and the framing of NIRA. eee HE FORGETS THE PAST When Johnson blames the Roosevelt “Horse and Buggy” talk on Frankfurter influence, he fails to recall that he was haunting the White House in the days after plan which would in effect defy the decision, and that Frankfurter was advising Roosevelt to forget about NRA. At a meeting of New Deal lawyers, Frankfurter had long before advised that the only possible chance of get- ting NRA by the supreme court lay in keeping out of the courts until the law could be revised. Johnson now attacks that advice, which his lawyers ignored when they demanded action on the Schechter case. se STIRS ICKES CROWD IRE The Ickes-PWA-Interior crowd is just as indignant as the Frankfurter boys, because Johnson says he had a fine PWA plan worked out, which he says Ickes ignored as he proceeded to make PWA a complete failure. Various Ickes subordinates remember making fever- ish search for that celebrated “plan” and being able to spent on mechanizing and motorizing the army. (Copyright, 1935, NEA Service, Inc.)

Within the past twelve months the Middle Westerner faced tre- mendous odds, even stark tragedy. Drouths, dust storms and floods have visited his part of the world with grim shadows that those more faint of heart would have succumbed to with good grace. There were times when he may not have felt like smiling, but at no time did anyone hear the Middle Westerner whine. Surely every citizen can find a worth-while example in the conduct of their fellow Americans whose homes were almost blown away, then almost washed away, calamities bad enough in themselves but especially dis- couraging when they followed closely upon the heels of a drouth that lasted almost two years. But the Middie Western men and women are the kind that “can take it.” who journeyed far into the unknown to establish homes. And once established they were ready to protect them with courage and determination, believing that a little bad luck now and then only adds spice to life. What matters such trivial things as too much dust or water or the lack of it? This game of living is something beyond the quitters. It requires pioneers to win, and the Middle Westerners have it in their blood.

One was the treasury statement showing that for the first three and| one-half months of the present fiscal year (July 1 to October 15) revenue was less than in the corresponding} period of last year. The other is the scathing denun- | ciation of the administration’s spend- ing program made by Lewis Douglas.) former director of the budget and at the beginning of the “New Deal” one of President Roosevelt's closest per- {sonal and political friends. The falling off in revenue was par- ticularly good news to the Repub-: licans because of Mr. Roosevelt's re= vised budget estimate that federal re- ceipts this fiscal year would exceed those of last year by $680,000,000, or |more than $56,000,009 a month. Ac- tually, revenue thus far is $1,171,496! less. * * * Supreme Court Action Vital ‘The decrease is explained as due to the fact processors are refusing to pay AAA taxes until the supreme court passes on their constitution- ality. Should the court uphold AAA processing taxes, the treasury would more than recoup its losses. On the other hand, if the court in- validates these taxes the treasury not only would lose these taxes due, but also might be compelled to reimburse those processors who already have] made payment, thus making further dents in the total revenue. Political insiders in Washington profess to see a growing feeling among the more cautious Democrats that their financial program is too vulnerable for safety in 1936 and that the coming session of congress will be asked to take definite steps in drafting the budget for the next fiscal year to scale down expenditures’ and more hopefully estimate revenues. ex # Douglas’ Attack Severe Douglas’ attack on the administra- tion’s spending program was nothing new. The youthful former member of the house and director of the bud- get long has been outspoken in his demands for a balanced budget. ' The importance of Douglas’ attack as viewed by politicians lies in the fact that it was more severe than any yet made by the most partisan Re- publicans. Incidentally, supporters of Gover- nor Alfred M. Landon of Kansas for the Republican nomination in ‘36 couldn’t have wished for more than the emphasis now being placed on “spending” as the big issue in the coming campaign. Governor Landon owes his place in the national lime- light he now enjoys almost solely to the fact that he has kept his state's budget balanced. “U. 8.
