The reasons given by each are identical. Smith opposes Roosevelt because he doesn’t agree with the president’s policies and Fess opposes Borah because he feels the Idaho man would be no more satisfactory to the conservative element of the coun- try than is the present executive. Thus Smith faces the almost certain probability of going for a stroll and for Fess there is at least the possibility, since Borah’s candidacy must certainly be reckoned with. The whole thing proves what a hodge-podge American politics is. We might be better off if there were a sharp divi- sion between the two old parties, if an out-and-out divergence could be established between them. But the ties of party allegiance and the potency of party names are too strong for that and we doubtless shall continue to have progressive and conservative elements in both parties. It seems illogical, but it may all be for the best. Think how radical a progressive could be if he were elected under such conditions. Or how stuffy a conservative might be if the re- verse were true, 4 The fact that America is a huge country and that progress / must necessarily be slow in any direction, else it will come faster | than the people can assimilate it, makes it a good thing ‘that there be radicals and conservatives in both parties. For the sound probability is that neither side is ever wholly tight or wholly wrong. A Friendly Man In the death of Charles Curtis, former vice president, the United States loses a good citizen and the Republican party loses a mollifying influence which is badly needed just now. For Mr. Curtis was a much-loved member of his party. He be | had the patience of his Indian forebears and a deep understand- . ing of human nature. A reasonable man, he was a power in adjusting disputes during his long public service by the simple process of getting men together to talk things over. Possessed of great powers at various times, he was loath to use them. Never was he arbitrary or harsh. A winning smile and genial personality gained him friends and he kept them. Thus his passing will be more sincerely mourned than can usually be said of a man in public life. 4 Bismarck had an opportunity to see and to gauge the per- | fonality of Mr. Curtis when he laid the cornerstone of our new capitol building in 1982. On that occasion he exercised his genius for friendship by making a good impression upon all who - met him. The man who wore the blanket of the Kaws in his youth showed the same fine friendliness and sincerity which + marked residents of the plains in the old days. He gave’ the — impression that he would make a most enjoyable next door a neighbor, the kind of man with whom one would delight to talk | of fishing, or of how to raise tomatoes, over the back fence on ;| summer evenings. | ~ What finer thing could be said of any man? ares Mob Rule in America nearly a day by threats of violence, made in the name of organ- ized labor which had—of all things—a grudge against the - ¢hief of police. Merchants were forced to close their stores because of threats that their windows would be smashed, offices wese closed and business came to a standstill. No one wanted to run || the risk of personal injury or see his property damaged by || hoodlums and so the citizens obeyed orders. This is mob rule in its most virulent form, It is usurpa-|« tion of power befitting @ Mussolini or a Hitler. It is not only |# unconstitutional, it is against the law. Even a majority would have no such rights as this group exercised, for the law is designed to protect minorities as well | as to make: majority action possible. Thus the situation at Pekin becomes all the more disgusting.

Reverses Jansonius ‘Phe court reversed Burleigh coun- ty District Judge Fred Jansonius, and remanded for further action the suit begun .by Thomas Figenskau, Wash- burn, operator of the Figenskau Coal company. Figenskau, hauling coal from his mine to customers and including all or part of the cost of transportation in the delivered price, refused to pay $15 registration fee demanded by the regulations of the state board of railroad commissioners under the auto transportation company law. Like- wise he refused to pay the $25 fee required by the commission for com- meroial freighting under terms of chepter 181. L, H.

Following a hearing, Judge Jansonius upheld the motor vehicle registrar, and Figenskau ap- Uphold Burke The court upheld contentions by Burke that chapter 179 was without force or effect on the grounds it “amends or attempts to amend a sec- tion of a statute” which was repealed by 1933 laws. The state scored one point, in the court's decision—that the state in exempting “hauling done for farm- ers in transporting agricultural pro- ducts to or from market, or hauling | farm products to or from a railroad station in his farming territory” was within its legal power. “Agriculture is a basic industry of the state,” the court held. “He (the farmer) has no way of including the cost of transportation in the price he receives for his products and thus passing it on to the purchaser. . “The legislature may have reason- ably decided . . . it should not im- pose a further transportation burden upon agricultural products.

The first exemption, upon which the court determined the law to be uncon- stitutional, provided “this act shall not apply to retailers engaged in de- livering only gas and gas products from the Bulk station directly to the farmer.” “No reasonable distinction can be made between the retailer engaged in | delivering gas and gas products to a {farmer directly from a bulk station constitu- ‘and a retailer who delivers the same products from elsewhere,” the court decided. “The classification set up by the exemption is purely arbitrary.” Coal Haulers Cited The second and last exemption of the law, upon which the court med, excluded from the definition commercial freighting, “farmers j hauling lignite coal regardless of the distance hauled, provided such haul- ing is done in exchange for work and {not for cash.” The court found the exemption to create “a discriminatory and uncon- stitutional classification.” “One farmer who hauls lignite oal for gain, but in the form of work, should not be classified differ- ently from another farmer who hauls lignite coal for gain, in the form of cash, Such an attempted distinction is arbitary . . . the fact that a per- son is a farmer does not entitle him to a favored classification as a hauler of coal.” Because of what they determined to be “discriminatory classifications” in chapter 181, the five justices, declared the law to be in violation of the “guar- anty of equal protection of laws, con- tained in the fourteenth amendment of the federal constitution,” and also in violation of section 20 of the state constitution, providing no special privileges be granted to any particular Person or class of persons.

CONTINUED from page one: Dacotah Seed Firm Suffers Damage of $25,000 on Sunday of the burning warehouse complicat- ed the work of the firemen. The building, 30 by 170 in dimen- sion, was of heavy frame timbers and was a regular tinder-box, Schmidt said Monday. It was built approxi- mately 40 years ago and for several years served as the depot for the old Soo Line railroad. ‘Additions had been made from time to time and in some places it was two stories high; in others only one. It contained considerable cleaning, grinding and mixing machinery and & dryer for curing corn seed. Schmidt said he had been unable to ascertain if the grain in the elevator had been damaged seriously, although he did know that some it is wet as a result of the water thrown upon it. He was unable to determine the cause of the fire but said it probably started from the furnace in the base- ment of the warehouse. WATER SERVICE PERILED ( Drifts in Fairmont, Minn., froze 80 hard residents of that snowbound town, isolated by a week-end blizzard, had to crack them with an axe. Schools in many states remained closed and public were temporary shelters for the homeless. Traffic deaths over the week-end were recorded at 33. Double engines pulled some of the trains into Chicago and as many as 50 shovelers rode other lines. Drifts in railroad cuts were reported as deep as 30 feet. Tales of ingenuity matched those of hardship. When the blizzard cut a Cannon Falls, Minn., doctor off from @ patient he gave directions for two and a half hours over the telephone, enabling another woman to preside at the birth of a child. At Grand Forks, highway depart- ment snowplows cleared the way for the doctor when he was called to de- liver a girl at a farm home seven miles west of the city.

Has Ol’ Doc Brady gone sour on sweets, then, in his dotage, one reader inquires, quoting certain impassioned utterances of mine in behalf of plenty of sugar and candy for kids—utterances emitted when I was young and in my prime and stirring up controversy all the time. No, no, nothing like that, friends. I abate not one jot or tittle what I said about the desirability of @ liberal allowance of Lents old fashioned mo- lasses (the kind without sulphur dioxide added—the kind made by simply boiling down the sugar cane in open kettles; if you can’t find this genuine molasses, then as second choice sorghum syrup similarly made, and in a pinch maple syrup will do. Honey, I regret to say, just. doesn’t matter, in my judgment.) Remember, we are speaking of young persons, Young and Active. It is quite as important that they be Active as it is that they be Young in order to take with advantage a generous amount of candy, cake, ice cream and the like.

The common practice of feeding young children “breakfast food” in the form of one or another refined cereal product or combination of cereals, per- haps articially sweetened or even salted, is altogether wrong. It is based upon suggestibility of wiseacre mothers. They believe whatever Mary Jane Jitters the famous trained nurse and dietician may be subsidized to tell them in delightful tints of deift blue and tangerine. But these refined, “purified,” “sterilized,” fumigated, read-to-serve or easy-to-cook cereal products, altho excellent fuels (high in calories) like sugar, are also like sugar in nutritional value, that is, inadequate food to supply the vital needs of the body. In the first place they are robbed of their natural vitamins in process of bed of most of the natural mineral! tend to give an acid ash upon combustion the plain cereal grain itself gives a less acid portant objection, I think, is the vitamin these refined cereal products leads.

Also, no matter what method of heating is employed, from twenty to thirty gal- lons of water should be evaporated in the house daily. Open fire or radiant heaters (electric or gas or other fuel burning) adds to comfort because ra- diant heat warms bodies or objects more and the air less.
