All eights of r 0 the local news ublication of all other matter herein are Tragedy on Our Doorstep During much of the year the ever-mounting toll of deaths from accidental causes is something to read in the newspaper. We see the comparative score between this year and last and note that we are ahead of or behind the previous record. It isn’t always easy to translate these things into terms of the blood which is shed, the hopes blasted, the economic loss or the women and children left without husband or father. In short, statistics on our mounting accident toll may mean no more than the counting of so many beans, But every so often tragedy moves out of the neighbor’s yard and into our own. Last week-end it camped on our door- step with three persons dead in our own vicinity. The thing for us to think about is that the victims might have been our- selves had we been doing the same sort of thing. The automobile accident which caused two deaths and sev- eral injuries merits investigation. Its cause, if it can be deter- mined, should be given to the public. It is pointing the finger at no one to say that someone clearly was to blame for this head-on collision, The public will be served if the officials of Morton county will give us the background as well as the im- mediate cause of this disaster. SUCH ACCIDENTS DO NOT JUST HAPPEN. THEY ARE CAUSED. If the blame attaches to dead men let there be no hushing of the fact. They may, in death, serve the purpose of emphasiz- ing the ways by which men go to oblivion. The tragedy on the river should serve as a warning to others that the Missouri is a treacherous stream. Both of the men in the overturned boat could swim but only one got out of the river alive. Its clutching fingers dragged the other down. The moral in the motoring crash was the same as that preached by most of the 36,000 automobile deaths last year. Excessive speed and carelessness travel faster than any driver on the highway. They catch up with him and pilot him to his doom. That in the river mishap is that a frail craft has no place on the Missouri river. It is too dangerous. If we, right here in Western North Dakota, would learn that automobiles and water are treacherous things and should be handled with care, the average span of life might be mate- rially increased. Robot Readers Six months’ study of the newspapers of Europe has con- vinced Prof. R. R. Barlow of the University of Illinois that in- ternational discord is nothing more than the product of a muzzled press. Dr. Barlow's observation is that the “European newspaper reader is merely a robot manipulated by dictators and bureau- crats, who make him think and act as they wish.” The Ger- man, for instance, knows practically nothing about what is go- ing on beyond his borders and less about events at home, while Italian journalists print only what Mussolini gives them. Even the British “see Hitler only through the eyes of the foreign office.” Nowhere in Europe are there reporters comparable to the American newspaperman, according to Prof. Barlow. And no- where in the world is there the freedom of the press that we| sti enjoy as American citizens. That’s important, so long as there is to be social, political, and economic progress in this country. More Tenants on Farms The new report of the house agriculture subcommittee, pointing out the rising tide of tenancy among American farm- ers, is hardly the kind of news we like to hear. The subcommittee has found, for instance, that in 1930 (when farm prices and production both were above normal) the net income of the average farm operator was $26.50 a month. In 1934 it was only $18.42 a month. Moreover, learned the committee, the mortgaged farm is producing even less than the tenanted farm. The result of the whole affair is a gradual shift to farm tenancy. “Less than 2,000,000 families remain of the nation’s once proud group of independent, home-owning farmers, and their ranks are thinning every year,” the committee reports. This means that, whatever the two major parties do about agricul- ture this year, they must provide more than temporary meas- ures. Agriculture is in no position to stand further political footballing. The New Unemployed The National Youth administration now estimates that at feast 5,000,000 young men and women between 16 and 26 will be looking for jobs this summer, The N. Y. A. arrives at this approximation by adding, to the current four million odd out of work, 1,000,000 high school graduates and 130,000 to 140,- 000 college graduates. Many of these young people will be placed in jobs at once. The prospects for young graduates are the best in five years, -the government agency finds. This is true, among other rea- sons, because employers more and more are turning to high school and college-trained youths for new blood. And so, despite today’s huge unemployment problem, youth must not lose its interest in education. The road to gainful em- ployment necesserily is longer these days, but in the end the best-prepared man reaches the goal first. - Bectetary Ickes tired ling to Republicans, . THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, JUNE 9, 1936 The Meeting Will Come to Order Coeee peer coee. Behind Scenes Widiestal ~ | By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Cleveland, O., June 9.—(#)—John Daniel Miller Hamilton is Exhibit No, 1 of the| Kansans when they seek to prove their conception of Alf Landon as the “great harmonizer” in party politics. In the absence of the governor, Hamilton is the big one-man show at the Republican national convention. As general counsel of the G. O. P. national committee, committeeman from Kansas, campaign manager for Landon, deliverer of the speech put- ting Landon in nomination—and a Sure-bet as Republican national chair- man in event of Landon’s probable convention victory—Hamilton is the fellow around whom most things re- volved. Nevertheless, he has been relatively unknown to his fellow countrymen. He has spent most of his political life fighting the same Landon under whose banner he now so vigorously battles. Hamilton fell heir to leader- ship of the conservative faction of the Kansas Republican party three years ago after the death of Dave Mulvane. whose friend and lieutenant he had long been. Landon, who had been nominated for governor over the Mulvane-Ham- ilton faction, promptly put Hamilton over as successor to Mulvane on the national committee and then began the coalesced harmony of the conser- vative and progressive wings which blossomed into the unanimous Kansas boom for Landon for president. * * * Good-Looking as Film Hero Hamilton contrasts sharply with some of the “pomposities” who have been national chairmen in certain past years when election of Republi- ‘can candidates was more or less auto- matic. His curly hair is just the shade of brown which causes most writers to call him “red-headed John Hamil- ton” and yet leads him to wonder why. Now if it were his young son, he says, who is violently red-headed, that would be different. Then you come to Hamilton's high forehead and his firm, handsomely chiseled face. He is down-right good- looking and the movies could hardly pass him up if he applied. He is 44 years old and seems much younger. Two-fisted, courageous, keen, a “regular guy,” unreserved, unaffected, practical, forceful and aggressive, humorous—those are the terms his friends use to describe him, and they seem to apply. He was graduated in law from Northwestern University and taught law briefly in Topeka after serving as @ sergeant in the war army. One day he went to his friend Dave Mulvane, the célebrated Kansas Republican boss, and asked his support for a pros bate judgeship. Mulvane told him he was too young, to come |back in a few years. Mul- vane was committed to another can- didate. Hamilton ran and won. * * * Elected to Legislature Hamilton was elected to the Kansas legislature in 1925 and in 1927-28 he was speaker of the house. As an active participant in the fac- tional battles which mark Kansas Republicanism, Hamilton was active in many contests but he made more friends than enemies. In every guber- natorial campaign up to his hand- some eyebrows from 1912 onward, he ran for the Republican gubernatorial nomination himself in 1928 and lost but he proved his regularity by help- ing to elect Clyde Reed, his success- ful opponent for the nomination. During much of this time Hamilton and Landon were in opposite camps but the beginning of rapprochement came when Reed named Landon as Republican state chairman after the 1928 campaign. The two men clashed again in 1930, however, when Hamilton's guberna- torial candidate defeated Reed for the nomination after a battle so bitter that it helped elect Harry Woodring, @ Democrat, to the governorship. It was this experience that con- vinced both factions that they ought to get together but 1932 found them ll opposed. Landon won the nomin- ation and the election and launched his career as @ harmonizer by nam- ing Hamilton national committeeman and Lacy Simpson, Hamilton’s guber- natorial candidate, warden of the state penitentiary. Other moves were made and Landon was elected easily in 1934—an otherwise disastrous year for Republicans. The Kansas G. O. P. was united and the way had been paved for the Landon-for-president boom in 1936. **e * He's Tonic for Committee Hamilton was so much strong new blood fer the Republican nationsi committee. A western anti-Hoover movement almost made him chairman in 1984, as against Harry P. Fletcher. He was marked as a “coming man.” Through a certain arrangement by the Republican finance committee, he went to Washington headquarters as general counsel for the national committee and as a pep-man for the party. He licked powerful Committee- man Charile Hilles of New York in several internal fights and Hilles doesn’t like him very much. It was Hamilton who staged the “Grass Reots convention” last year.

So the Landonites have been phere of immediate triumph. As a matter of fact, all that caa be said at this stage is that Landon is in the lead, that many delegations “have heard” that he is a good man and would make a good candidate but, apart from that, they are for the most part not particularly devoted or tied to anybody's cause.

About the time the government squashed him 8 company of still smarter chaps organized and developed a highly profitable business supplying “nerve food” to the wiseacres, Eminent ministers, lawyers and maybe a superan- nuated doctor or two wrote their testimonials. Today the dumbdoras of these benighted states are pretty regular, well, anyway regular customers for articles used and recommended by the latest most glamorous Hollywood star unless some other concern makes her a better proposition. Oddly enough, “blood food” hasn’t been discovered and perfected by a famous but unidentified Viennese specialist lately. It is remarkable how many nostrums of high and low degree, popular nostrums and physician’s nostrums, carry enough alcohol to give the delicate invalid or the anemic individual a gentle jag, especially if he or she is not ac- customed to the use of intoxicants. Indeed it is the dose of alcohol the vic- tim gets in each dose of her “blood tonic” that misleads her in the fancy that she is getting better with every dose. It gives her a brief flush and watms her up by dilating the surface vessels so that the warm blood rushes to the surface and tarries there too long. It benumbs her higher nerve cen- ters and releases the normal inhibition or self-control. She carries on more gaily and unreservedly than she does when sober. She thinks she feels bet- ter. Uncritical observers notice her flushed cheek and bright eye and they, too, see that she is getting better. Not until the bottle is empty and there is no booze on hand for the next dose does the victim realize she is not as well as when she began taking it. The nostrum has really made her worse, be- cause it has carried her along on false stimulation (actually narcotization) while her illness remained untreated. This description of the effect of the “blood tonic” applies also to the use of wine. If you crave a little nip or like a glass of wine, that is one question. If you honestly want something that helps to remedy anemia, remember wine is a mocker. I wish I might mention something that really does build blood, but it would not be fair to do so, for no particular item of food or drink is more effective than others for that purpose. All natural foods and beverages (nothing added, nothing taken away) contribute toward the building of blood, brain, nerve, bone, muscle, gland, skin and organs. Un- less you first destroy all the physiologies, you can’t single out particular foods or beverages as blood building. The one food-beverage which most nearly approaches this “blood mak- ing“ ideal, the most nearly perfect food, is fresh pure raw milk. But even milk is deficient in certain essentials of nutrition. Better pay no attention to the vendor who tells you his medicine, bever- age or food builds red blood. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Apology to Weight Lifters I hope you have enough sense of decency and fair play to realize that you owe the weight lifters of this country an apology for the unfair remarks you have made against them. . . (H. A. K.) Answer—I made no remarks about the weight lifters. I merely stated a fundamental truth, namely, that training to lift prodigious weights is not healthful nor sound physical training. Such “strong men” are rarely suc- cessful in winning a race or in any contest other than hoisting weight. The muscles overdeveloped by such practice become parasites on the individual's strength and vitality. Men who train in that way are muscle-bound and unable to cope in any way with a properly trained athlete. Incidentally, ted youths should beware of the big-muscle boys who offer “sul manhood.” You will go farther and fare better if you follow the line of training suggested by the physical education advice and instruction of the qualified physical director. (Copyright 1936, John F. Dille Co.) dent of the American Federation of Labor, has declared himself against any governmental power to fix wages, whether minimum or maximum, it is not likely that the Republican na- tional convention will enter that con- troversial area. Likewise, many wo- men’s organizations @ mini- mum wage that affects women only. So the approach would seem to be to insist upon subsistence wages set by state commissions according to the prevailing standard. This would mean the exercise by the state of its own police power and in reality the exer- cise of its right to prevent an indi- vidual from becoming a public charge. There is plenty of constitutional Inasmuch as William Green, presi-| power embodied in the states to en- able them to protect themselves agains the drain of a.continuous dole and if they stay away from wage- fixing and from discriminations on the basis of sex it would seem that the situation can be met without any fadditional constitutional power. On the other hand, to remove all doubts as to where the Republicans stand, they will be glad to go on record as favoring whatever constitutional re- vision is necessary to accomplish the objective. Judging by the present trend, the platform drafting and debate will take all of Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs- day, with the nominating speeches ‘coming on Thursday and the ballot- the arousing of false or impossible hopes. Then there are the young en- thusiasts who venture to beiieve that much can be accomplished in the way of reform if the party will only start to travel in that direction. Platform-making is, to be sure, the | center of all controversy and it does, look as if the eastern and western | {eoncepts, the so-called progressive ;and the so-called conservative views, | will clash. Actually, the difference is jone of approach. The politically minded writers of platform planks want to promise as much as possible and catch votes. The realists want to/ write platform planks that have some | prospect of being fulfilled by the can- didate if he is elected.
