They present, in all its hor- ror, the tragedy of assassination, political or otherwise, which is becoming a weapon increasingly used to settle certain kinds of disputes. The death of Walter Liggett comes home to many Bis- marck people because he was well known in this city, had many | friends here. And whether or not one agrees with the policies which he} espoused, the only possible reaction for a normal human being| is one of the deepest abhorrence for the perpetrators of this crime. | It also serves to illustrate the penalty which a man can pay for independence. Liggett was a professional “exposer’” of the! ills of the body politic. He had a talent in that direction and he used it. There are many who feel that he served a good and useful purpose, as does any man who fearlessly points out the evils which beset us all. So, evidently, did the forces against which he was arrayed, for they employed the most desperate means to remove him. ; That this crime was the work of a paid killer seems evident, All the circumstances point to it. We in North Dakota might ponder the fact that within 450 miles of our own doorstep there exists a situation wherein one may hire an assassin to remove any enemies who may cause him inconvenience, annoyance or} financial loss. One of the difficulties in fixing responsibility, of course, is} the fact that Liggett attacked so many different people in so| many different walks of life that many men might have cause tor wishing him dead. But Liggett’s assassination becomes doubly significant by| reason of the history immediately preceding it. | First he was set upon and beaten by a gang of hired thugs, who sought to intimidate him. i When this failed, his enemies apparently were powerful enough to cause him to be accused of a criminal offense, one of | such nature as to sicken decent persons. This attempt to convict or completely discredit him also failed and now comes the final chapter, the bullets fired from the gun of a grinning assassin whose horrible leer will remain} in the mind of his widow until the day of her death. | Silence on the part of Minneapolis officials may mean much | or little, but if it happens that they make no apparent effort to} find this killer and bring him to book, or even if they fail to do so, the effect will be to establish in many minds the truth of | Liggett’s charges. \ Lean an Ear Toward These Startling Rumors — Hague to Be Farley Suc- cessor, Senator Couzens to Turn | Democrat . . . But They’re Still 1 Only Guesses ... No Change in Cabinet Seems to Be a Good Bet. By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, Dec. 11—Democrats from New Jersey are whispering that Mayor Frank Hague of Jersey City will succeed Jim Farley as postmas- ter-general, and Democrats from Michigan are whispering that Sena- tor Jim Couzens will desert the Re- publican party next year and run as a Democrat. Neither decision has been made. Of the two predictions, the second is the easier to believe. Couzens is understood to have told certain friends that he feels his ideas are so much more in accord with the administration’s than with those which Republicans are likely to es- pouse next year that the only “hon- orable” thing for him to do is to de- clare as a Democrat. Points of honor are more important with Couzens than with most politi- cians. He isn’t the most brilliant man in the senate, but there’s none more honest. He has usually voted with the administration and his crit- icisms of it have been negligible. On the other hand, he doesn’t care at all for his colleague, Senator Ar- thur Vandenberg, Michigan’s candi- date for the G. O. P. presidential nomination. Friends Boom Hague The yarn about Hague, one of the nation’s most famous—or, his ene- mies would say, “notorious’—politi- cal bosses, is traceable to Senator Harry Moore of New Jersey, a Hague protege. Immediate reaction of the more idealistic New Dealers is that such an appointment would give the admin- istration a black eye. Others argue that it’s unlikely because Hague, though he has since come into camp, was such a bitter foe of Roosevelt at the 1932 Chicago convention. The Hague backers, however, are insisting that Hague is an “honest With Other EDITORS Reprinted t what they may or agree with them, boss” who has never made a nickel out of politics; that Roosevelt is de- termined to keep a Catholic in the UNUSUAL AUTHORITIES DELEGATED TO COURTS cabinet; that the political situation calls for appointment of a strong eastern political boss to fill the post- office job, and that Hague obviously is the man who answers to the quali- fications. Also, they say, Farley ap- proves Hague as his successor. All any insider can say assuredly now is that Roosevelt has been “con- sidering” Hague. There’s violent dis- agreement as to whether he has the | vaguest thought of appointing him. eee A Strong Michigan Team Part of the Couzens story is that Frank Murphy, former mayor of De- troit and now high commissioner to the Philippines, will be coming back to run for governor of Michigan, He's a Democrat, of course, and some of the boys are saying that he and Couzens would make a fine team for the party ticket. oo Cabinet Shifts Discounted Rumors of cabinet changes have jbeen almost as thick as injunction | suits against New Deal laws. tion to the suggestion that there may be no cabinet changes at all. Two things inspire that shot in the air: First, Roosevelt has told certain jintimates that he would just as soon not reshuffle his top appointees eae after election. Second, Farley, who at one time expected to resign the postmaster- generalship no later than September, has begun to show signs of coyness. Chief reason for the Farley resigna- {tion which Jim and everyone else once | Whether Liggett's death was due to his attack upon a political ring or upon a gang of bootleggers, it demonstrates! that a cancer exists in the public life of Minnesota which should | be destroyed before it: consumes the honor, the independence and the decency of our neighboring state. | This crime particularly calls for vengeance if the American| tradition is to remain untarnished, for it helps to do a thing! tonal chairman, hasn't been heard | which no law can be enacted in this country to do. The fear of | an assassin’s vengeance can silence the press of America just| as effectively as the iron heel of a political oppressor. | And with the freedom of the press will vanish the one thing which has helped to keep America free despite the forces of darkness and oppression which all too often have been arrayed! against the cause of democracy and a free people throughout | our history. Modernity on the Farm | The tendency toward smaller families, with fewer feet| under the average family table, has had a sharp reaction on the| farm, according to observers at the International Livestock| show at Chicago. | In the “good old days,” when the demand was for larger| cuts of meat, steers frequently weighed 1,800 pounds and did not go to market until they were three or four years old. In _ the western range country beef was not regarded as prime until it was three years old. i) This year’s grand champion steer weighed only 1,050! pounds and was a little over 15 months old. On this basis, the farm’s turnover is speeded up to meet the demand for smaller, more tender and better cuts of meat. The same factor is affecting the hog industry. When America was exporting huge quantities of lard, the short- coupled, fat hog was the best for market. But diet fads and other considerations have conspired to give the so-called “bacon hog” more prominence now than it used to enjoy. All of these things emphasize the modern tendency to make the farm.a food factory, producing specialized items; explains the change in farm life and in farm thinking which is so obvious in comparison with the scene less than a generation ago.

Reason war, there had not before been occasion to invoke its provisions. Just as revealing to the most of us is legislation passed as late as 1933 by our state legislature, conferring on the courts authority to exercise their own judgment in times of emergency | in preventing creditors from gouging debtors. This legislation was repro- duced in the last issue of the Het- tinger County Herald at the request of the presidency of the Holiday as- sociation for Hettinger and Slope; counties, | Briefly, its provisions contemplate that in times of low agricultural \prices our courts may halt mortgage foreclosure or other proceedings det- rimental to debtors in forcing the sale of agricultural products when prices | are confiscatory. This law makes no reference to drouth, rust or hoppers confiscating crops, but any common- sense interpretation of the law’s in- tent is it is designed to meet any emergency whereby creditors could seize an opportunity to crush debtors. The authority delegated includes all} courts from county to the state’s su- preme court. Special mention is made that any and all foreclosure proceed- ings may be halted where the debt is less than the value of the property involved, as is generally true in mort- gage foreclosures. We believe this legislation is aston- | ishing to the most of us. Its exist- ence would seem to make superfluous the Holiday association or other move: to prevent foreclosures where a judge has a heart for the unfortunate. We realize this puts a judge on the spot in arriving at a decision when prices of agricultural products are “col fiscatory,” but if judges possess com- mon sense, as one must concede they do, they must know when prices are o So They Say | Education does not start soon enough to discover aptitudes or to help the individual develop what he is best able to do; it fails to bridge the gap between training and the practical aspects of employment.— Amelia Earhart, noted woman flyer. x eK If business in this country believed that the Townsend plan had a chance of becoming a law, national confi- dence would be completely shattered in less than an hour.—Fred G.

Beside her, Eva Brady sat at ease, smoking a cigaret; in the other corner Red leaned back against the cushions, a ciger gripped in his teeth, and kept his own counsel. The two men in the front seat were silent, also; and |, the car sped along over the road without a sound except for the hum of the motor and the whistling of the wind about the body of the car. They did not go through Mid- lothian. Instead, they turned to the left and headed north; not, as far as Jean could remember, in the direction either of Plainfield, the railroad junction point, or of Dover, . The red-headed man had practi- cally forced her to get into the car. He had said nothing except, “We going for a ride”; of Sandy’s whereabout knew nothing, ex- cept that he had “gone on ahead” with Mr. Lewis. Jean felt herself the red-headed man seemed a monstrous and enigmatic embodiment of menace, with his expressionless eyes of pale blue conveying an unspoken but frre- sistible threat. They rode for periiaps five miles before she managed to regain enough calm to speak. Then, her fists clenched in her lap, she turned to her companions and asked, “Just where are we going?” Bve Brady cast a sidelong glance at her and smiled faintly. The red. headed man Idoked at her in mild surprise, and finally said, “Just who wants to know?” ; “1 do.” He gave her another stare, sub- tly derisive. “You'll find out when we get there,” be said at last. “I want to know now.

HEART FAILURE FROM DEFICIENCY OF VITAMINS At least in the medical world I have observed that the tailor made man frequently accepts ready made ideas, while the fellow in nondescript hand- medowns somehow contrives to think for himself. she “Even the physician with a very large practice will see only cases 8 year,” opines Dr. Walter C. Alvarez, in a recent contribution to a new mag- azine, “only a few cases a year in which he will suspect that the symptoms due to too great a narrowing of a diet. ‘Usually such a patient is old; be a recluse who cooks for himself, or 8 psychopathic food crank who about eating and is full of prejudices, or he may be red-nose bum who has been trying to live on whiskey, Not infrequently the patient has icer or colitis and has been living too long on milk and little else . rara avis it seems this patient the busy doctor may suspect as suf fering with vitamin deficieney bobs up with astonishing regularity!

Indeed, there is good reason for believing that chronic vitamin B deficiency of this character is responsible for many of the obscure, indefinite digestive disorders — disorders which so often destroy the happiness of the patient and baffle the physician. We are accustomed to call these patients neurasthenics and chronic intestinal invalids, whereas most of them are sorely in need of food of the proper vitamin content. In addition, it is pos- sible that many obscure nervous disorders, particularly of the so-called “func- tional type,” result from a failure of the diet to provide vitamin B in suffi- oe One tmagioae Dr a tom made clothes. .

They reached the great National Highway and turned to the east, and for a moment Jean's heart leaped up—Dover tay to the east, and this road, she knew. led to ft. But her joy was short-lived; for after half an hour’s travel the car slowed down and swung t6 the north again ‘over an unpaved road that wound in and out through a tangled stretch of woodland, A mile from the main highway the road bore to the right, and a little lane continued on into the woods. The lane was nothing more than parallel ruts in the soil, with the branches of the trees meeting overhead and brushing against the sides of the car, but they followed it, the car folting heavily on the uneven surface. They went down into a little valley, followed a brook for a hundred yards, then went up over a hill, descended on the other side—and. unexpectedly. came into a 10-acre clearing that faced a little lake. A large, rambling house in the architectural style of the 1870s stood near the water. surrounded by an unkempt but spacious lawn. The car pulled up beside what had evidently been a carriage house, years ago, and stopped. The car doors opened, and Jean automati- cally followed the others out. They took their baggage and fol- lowed Red along a gravelled path to the house. Jean looked at it curiously. Once it must have been a handsome country retreat — iso lated, with neat lawns and gardens flanking the little stretch of blue water and a belt of woodland sur- rounding it all. Now it looked gone to seed and dilapidated. A® Jean noticed these things they reached the front of the house and went up a little flight of steps to a wide, sagging porch. They followed Red into the house, into the cool dusk of an inner hall; and then Jean found herself going up a flight of stairs and obediently fol- lowing someone to a room. A door was opened, and a voice mumbled that she was to go on in; then the door closed behind her and sho was alone. ‘The room was in a side of the house overlooking the lane by which they bad come; and it was furnished with an old-fashioned double bed, an equally old-fashioned dresser with = marble top, a vast chest of drawers, and three horse hair chairs, She put her bag on the floor, opened a window, and looked out lstlessly. She had no notion where she was or how long she was to be there. She was quite obviously in the power of a dangerous man, who had safd that she was “in with us” permanently. What did it all mean? ‘What was going to happen to her? Looking down, Jean saw a famil- far figure walking slowly toward the house from the outbuilding over the concrete road with | where they had left their car. She felt a sudden wave of relief. Sandy! He would make things right. She hurried downstairs. reach: ing the porch just as ho did. “Oh Sandy! ['m so glad you're here.” she cried. “I’ve been so— so frightened!” He raised his eyebrows. What's the matter?” “Oh, it’s all so—so queer. This man Red made me get in the car and made me come — Sandy, you told me yesterday he’d promised to see that I got back to Dover to day—”" Sandy grinned and clasped his hands comfortably behind his head. “What's the matter with this place?” he asked. “Nice and quiet and pleasant-like, isn’t it?” She looked at him in hurt eur prise, “But Sandy, I can't stay here—” she began. He grinned ironically. “Oh, yes, you can, baby,” he eaid softly. “Oh, yes, you can.” eee USK had come, and the silence that enfolded the queer, lonely house seemed to Jean to be oppres- sive and ominous. She stood at the border of the lake, beside the tuined boathouse, feeling more lost, more helpless, more frightened and more bewildered than she had ever expected to feel in her whole life, Suddenly, on impulse, she turned and walked rapidly from the lake to the lane that led to the outer world. impelled by a despairing conviction that only by immediate flight could sho save herself. .She stumbled on’ through the dusk, making a detour to avoid the car riage house, and plunging into the gloom of the lane when ft entered the woods with a feeling of relief.
