THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1936 Behind the Scenes The Campaign ‘Pioys Bunkum’ and Good Stories in Jim Watson's ‘As I Knew Them.’ By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, Sept. 15.—Former Sen- ator Jim Watson of Indiana, a power here for many long years but finally tossed out by the voters and reduced t© odd jobs of lobbying here, along with rather desperate attempts to maintain leadership in the Indiana Republican machine, has been called “a lovable old humbug” and many other names Iess or more compli- mentary. No one, however, ever sald Jim couldn't tell a good story and even many of those who detested his po- litical attitudes and actions were fond of him for his friendly genialty. Watson always insisted that he was a thorough “reactionary” and no one for his frankness. Now Jim has written an autobi- | ography entitled “As I Knew Them,” and in spite of all the things that @re glossed over and of doubts whether this is a major contribution to political history, Jim’s book con- tains a swell collection of ancedotes and for that, if for no other reason, is an enjoyable tome. yarns are already famous. are not and some of the latter are produced herewith. * * His First Filibuster Jim's first political training came at DePauw University, where he fought with Albert J.

The explanation for his failure to observe the rules of the road probably lies in the fact that he was in a hurry.

Four other persons were injured and may be in the hos- pital for a combined total of months. Certainly that is a bad record from the time-saving standpoint, to say nothing of the physical and mental suffering involved. | These five persons alone will have lost more time because of this one accident than all of the motorists in North Dakota will have saved this year because of excessive speed or taking the chances involved in violating the rules of the road. Every motorist might think of this case—and hundreds of others like it which occur in this state every year—the next time he gets interested in “saving time.” First Empty, Then Burned From February to July, according to an article by Rev.

Of course if some one dropped you on the floor and injured your head when you were a baby you can’t help it now, but you can at least try to be- have intelligently when you visit the doctor. On the way to his office you might think over your complaint, get it in hand and be ready to tell him what it is when he asks you. I don’t mean to suggest that you spring a snappy answer. Doctors nowadays do not lay themselves open to that. They do not ask you what your trouble is or what seems to be the matter with you today. They ask you what you complain of. You liad better expect that, so you won't get rattled and flounder about-and mutter that you're sure you don’t know. That is exasperating to an earnest, busy physician. Whatever your complaint may be—don’t deny that you have a chief complaint, the thing that causes you to seek medical advice—you surely know whether it has just developed this morning or whether you have no- ticed it for two or three weeks or for the past six years. Make up your mind about the duration of the trouble and don’t try to fend off the doctor's queries by answering that it has been bothering you for quite a while. And for heaven's sake forget the remedies or treatments you have al- ready tried and the imposing sums you have squandered on them. Forget also the patent incompetence of the other doctors you have already con- sulted. If your present doctor is any good at all he won't care and he won't listen to such remarks, Confine your chatter to your present complaint and try to answer any questions intelligently. Then hold your breath, or breathe in or breathe out or say ah or ninety-nine as the doctor may request, If you are serious about it, go prepared to strip for examination. If you are a woman, and the doctor has no nurse in his office, take along a rela- tive or friend. Leave at home your own notions as to the nature or proper management of your trouble. Tell the doctor your symptoms, not what you think they signify. It is his job to interpret symptoms or signs he elicits by examina- tion. However, if you feel on an even footing with the doctor or if you think you know as much as he does about your particular trouble, you having had s0 much experience with it, better save the fee, Wait till you find a doctor who knows more than you do, QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Bursitis What precautions to prevent necessity for operation for bursitis of Is any diathermy method use- ful? . .

The old-line Democrats, of course, unhappy and worried. Even among the organization politicians who are at heart conservatives, there is much skepticism about the New But this modern follower of the gallant Ignatius of Loyola explains this phenomenon in terms which constitute a warning to Christian churches everywhere, Protestant as well as Catholic. After discussing the background, the reasons for and the political methods used in the current trouble in Spain, he says: “Only one matter remains to be explained. The great tragedy of Spain was that in the nineteenth century the working masses apostatized from the church, as Pope Pius X once remarked. And. it is well to remember, it was poverty, destitution, and injustice which made them apostatize. They got to hate the church because they hated the friends of the church, who exploited them and whom the church did nothing to rebuke or correct. The words of Pope Leo XIII forty-five years ago went unheeded, and his great Encyclical “Rerum Novarum” was neglected. Now the church is reaping the sad fruits of that neglect in the loss of so many souls and in the destruc- tion of its churches. If all that had not been so, the poor would today be fighting on the church's side, instead of against it; or rather, the leaders of the poor would never have got them to join the revolutionary forces in the first place. The terrible and tragic story of Spain is a fearful lesson for the rest of us.” In short, according to this authority, the dominant church in Spain too long neglected the mission for which the churches were created, which is to preach humanity and justice in world- ly affairs as well as righteousness in moral affairs. That neglect led first to empty churches and then to the burning of church buildings. His statement that “the terrible and tragic story of Spain is a fearful lesson for the rest of us” should strike home to churchmen of all creeds. In effect it calls on them, Protestant as well as Catholic, to examine their own acts and ascertain if they are fulfilling their mission. If they are not, it points out with emphasis, they will not exert much influence in the affairs of the world about them. New Teaching Idea Under the direction of the teachers college at Columbia university a new high school has been instituted this ycar at Springdale Farms, Canton, North Carolina. Here, we are told, boys and girls will be educated “to meet the problems which face them as individuals and members of society by wise direction of their work, study and play.” The aim is to get away from learning by rote, to teach them to think rather than to memorize. : The movement is a laudable one but hardly important to the American school system. It has long been obvious that our children were being taught to memorize and recite rather than to think. Teachers have recognized the fact and have tried to overcome the handicap, but it still is a difficult job. The new school should meet this situation easily and will, therefore, be an advance. But the idea will hardly be of serv- ice to American schoolmen as a whole. What they need are improved methods which can be applied ,in the instruction of sembled senators and wondered how |Struggles among the Democrats as in the world he had managed to land | meaning a quiet vote of protest ex- in such company.

One day he came to Speaker Reed and courteously urged recogni- tion to call up a certain bill in which he was interested. After awhile Reed said: “Well, I suppose I'll have to recog- nize you and I guess I'll do it. Lewis, I'm not nearly so ugly as I look.” At that Lewis bowed nearly to the floor and with a graceful sweep of his arms exclaimed: “Impossible, Mr. Speaker, impossible!” Reed, who Watson shows to have been a salty old character, enjoyed that one hugely. All those yarns appear in the first 36 pages of Jim's book, which runs to 313. pages. There's a lot of pious bunkum and probably some misin- formation. But your correspondent is going to lug Jim's book off with him on vacation and expects to learn a lot more about politics as well as to enjoy many laughs. For Jim also sometimes is attractively naive. (Copyright, 1936, NEA Service, Inc.)

He tried to see me tonight. I went to a movie to get away from him, Then when I came home he was waiting in the doorway.
