Thus disclosure by the national industrial conference board that many big employers of labor now are attempting to place wage schedules on a “sound, equitable and scientific basis” is of more importance than all of the political hokum which will be spread in the current campaign. The significant thing is the fact that, according to this authority, the subject is being approached from both the “eco- nomic and social soundness” angles. In other words, industry is waking up to the fact that the only way to beat the agita- tions of demagogues is to take steps of their own to cure the conditions which make demagoguery popular, Continuing its dissertation on this important piece of news the board says: “Most wage-rate structures are the hit-or-miss result of a multi- tude of conflicting factors and influences. Individual rates, for the most part, have been the products of a series of ‘push and pull’ forces which have carried some upward and others downward. Conformity ta any reasonable or precise standard has usually been attained more ty aceident than by design. “The current thorough overhaulings of wage-rate schedules be- ing undertaken by a number of outstanding companies represent lve and constructive industrial relations policy. Through such revisions, the whole subject of compensation, the most fruitful and persistent source of grievances and hard feelings, is being placed on a cooperative, uniform, and objective basis.” This statement is a tribute to American industry. It indi- cates a realization that it must live up to its social as well as its economic responsibilities. Incidentally, it is a fine maneuver in the defense of indus- try from unwise and unfair coercion on the part of government, for if this policy is carried out it will relieve the pressure on government to take such steps. They Still Thrill to It In these days when it seems popular to be cynical and to sneer at patriotism it is interesting to note the reaction of Earle Meadows, world’s champion pole vaulter, to the Olympic game Writing on his observations at Berlin, this fine young American says, among other things: ‘There's no thrill quite like battling stars from other countries and realizing that it’s the good old Stars and Stripes you're fighting for, rather than} be made in the Keystone state. Po- | » | litical charges for public consumption { just Earle Meadows or the University of Southern California. It is an interesting sentence because it calls to mind other and more important battles which have been fought for the “Good Old Stars and Stripes” and the thrill which has come to Americans everywhere at sight of the national emblem. To too many Americans the flag is just a commonplace decoration, but those who saw it unfurled over the stadium at Berlin after a victory can begin to understand why it is that thousands of brave men and women have sacrificed everything in the cause for which that flag stands. If anyone has come to the conclusion that America no longer rises to emergencies, that the flag no longer means any- thing, let him note the observation of young Mr. Meadows and be content. It is ample proof that the spirit of America still lives. Lucky Babies? In a way, the lot of a baby is a hard one in America. To attract any attention over here, it has to be born in lots of four or five, or kidnaped. Or it must have something wrong with its tummy that requires a “1000-in-1 chance” operation. It isn’t that way in Russia, Italy, and Germany. there, each new baby adds something to the delight of a whole nation. Even the greatest man in each of the countries smiles exultantly as he studies the birth reports. In fact, he is so pleased that mothers receive special rewards for bringing chil- dren into the world. As they grow up, American children are guided only by their mothers, dads, and teachers, until they're old enough to take their places in farms, factories, and offices. But over in Russia, Italy, and Germany, the whole govern- ment takes part in their education until, and even after, they're old enough to take their places—behind guns. For a baby isn’t just a baby, over there. He's potential cannon fodder—and the government never lets anyone for- 2 : The Football Cure They have a rather unusual cure for crime in Honolulu, and it seems to be working out very well. THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, Behind Me SCENES The Campaign Both Parties Gird for That Last Big Campaign Smash ... G. O. P. Exe Pectcd to Flood Mails With Final Over |g Blast Said to Be Roosevelt Plan. By RODNEY DUTCHER \ (Tribune Washington Correspondent) New York, Oct. 9—The best way to discover the secret campaign plans of a major party seems to be to hang around the opposition headquarters and see what the scouts and spies have brought in, One party's high command usually knows—or thinks it knows—just what the other party is about to perpetrate. If the Republicans are ignorant of the nature of the spectacular grand- stand play which they expect Roose- velt to pull off on the eve of election —as one gathers they are—it's a fair bet that the president and his ad- visers haven't worked that one out yet. This writer's observation has been that the New Deal strategists have usually been only about one jump ahead of the gun in deciding where to place the next shot. There's a fairly straight tip, how- ever, that Roosevelt will deliver a last- minute radio blast aimed at alleged slush funds and at avalanches of de- layed propaganda in the doubtful tier of states running from New York to Michigan. That, however, will be a counter- attack in response to a major Re- publican effort of which Democrats have had advance notice. se Gigantic Drive by Mail About 40,000,000 letters, according to tips received by Roosevelt leaders, will be mailed from G. O. P. 50) to employes and stockholders in’ the j last two or three days before election.

The idea would be |to reach nearly every voter, offsetting favorable business news by forecasting disaster to business, employment, and j investments in case of Roosevelt's re- election. This story may be exaggerated, but |Democrats are taking it seriously lenough to be planning on a fast, punchy comeback from Roosevelt over & national hookup. Similarly, they hope to offset ef- fects of other last-minute barrages, such as circulation of 20,000,000 tab- loids in doubtful states for which they | understand, the G. O.

It is brazen corruption at the polls and, unless all signs fail, Mr. Roosevelt will be handed eleven electoral votes this au- tumn as a consequence of @ situation in Shelby county which he ought pub- licly to repudiate and send special officers from the department of jus- tice to prosecute at once. The story of Shelby county is well known all over the state. It has been invetsigated before by a committee of the United States senate, but this year, all records for daring in election fix- ing were broken in the Democratic primary just a few weeks ago. Consider these facts: | 1, Burgin Dossett was running for |the nomination for governor and had jthe endorsement of the two Demo- lcratic United States senators and the |governor of Tennessee. He received | throughout the state, with the excep- tion of Shelby county, about 37 per cent of the vote. His opponent, the | successful contestant, beat him in the |raito of about 2 to 1. 2. _ In Shelby county, which includes | the city of Memphis, Mr. Dossett was | beaten by a ratio of about 60 to 1. In the entire county he received only 861 votes while his opponent received! 60,218. It must be borne in mind that; Senator McKellar, who endorsed Mr. ; Dossett and lives in Memphis, must have had more strength than the three votes in his own precinct which were cast for his man against 200 for | the opposing candidate. i 3.

Hannah lost the nomination by the in United States where fixing goes on has any po- itical boss put out results might, of course, win this ar in Tennessee. without the aid of Shelby county, but, with most ob- servers predicting that the Roosevelt ity will be cut down from. 133,- 000 to about 75,000, it is easy to see what a 60,000 majority in Shelby county will mean to Mr. Roosevelt's fortunes, Whether the political organization that dominates Shelby county and controls the police and the election machinery there, will dare to do in a presidential election what it has done in the primaries remains to be seen, but it is a safe assumption that, if it were not for the situation in Shelby county, there would be a real contest for the electoral vote in Tennessee this year. The anti-Roosevelt sentiment in the state is strong, particularly in the eastern section, but any organized ef- fort to carry the state against Mr. Roosevelt has long since been re- garded as ae forlorn hope on account of the impossible barriers that are raised in Shelby county.

The proper treatment or prevent them from being deceived by fake pile cures. ‘Hemorrhoids, otherwise called piles, are varicose (swollen, enlarged, dilated) veins, Unless they bleed or become inflamed (painful) the patient. may be unaware of their presence. Many persons with hemorrhoids have erroneously assumed that the interval between attacks of inflammation or bleeding meant cure. ‘Where the veins about the sphihcter muscle at the orfice are enlarged the condition is called internal piles or hemorrhoids; if veins below the sphincter are enlarged it is called external hemorrhoids. The veins of this region empty directly into the portal system carrying blood to the liver. Therefore any congestion of the liver or any overloading of the portal system is likely to predispose to piles. The hemorrhoidal veins and the veins into which they empty have no “I valves. Therefore in the erect position there is the weight or pressure of a column of blood upon the walls of these veins. Our upright posture is one cause of piles. Our common addiction to physic—laxatives, cathartics, purgatives, enemas, suppositories and other unnatural “‘aids’—Iis a prolific cause of piles. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Dope A while ago you had an instructive article about the destructive effects of certain medicines urged upon the laity as harmless. I learned @ good deal from that article and decided to be more careful what I use in future. Please tell me whether digitalis and ephedrine with amytal are harmful or not. (A. B.) Answet—Ephedrine is comparatively safe, but no one should take digi- talis or amytal except under careful supervision of his physician. Uric Acid Is there any treatment to remove uric acid from the blood except by ad- hering to the milk, fruit and vegetable diet you recommend? . . . (G, W.) Answer—I have not recommended such a diet for removing uric acid. There is no reason to imagine any illness is due to uric acid. $ (Copyright, 1936, John F. Dille Co.)
