DIAWAIbIS “WIceoracke CHAU and Commander Colmery’s remarks were primarily directed to-| parties and state might well save ward the members of that group. They are, however, applicable to everyone. Says Mr. Colmery: “The time has come for the American Legion to give serious thought to our traditional Americanism policy and determine whether certain misguided individuals within our organization are setting a good example of true Americanism, “To uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America; to maintain law and order, and to foster and perpetuate a one hundred per cent Americanism) are cardinal principles of the American Legion. They are written in the preamble to our consti- tution and, as such, stand as a permanent mandate which may be changed or modified only by amending that constitution itself. They solemnly and unequivocally bind every member of the Amer- ican Legion not only to PREACH Americanism, but to LIVE it and PRACTICE it. “Americanism, TRUE Americanism, means acceptance of and adherence to ALL of the principles and institutions of our Ameri- can form of government. We cannot accept only those which coin- cide with our individual point of view and violate those which do not; and we MUST NOT resort to force to suppress persons or groups whose opinions differ from our own. That is the very essence of UN-AMERICANISM. “The Constitution of the United States guarantees freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and it declares that Congress shall not make any law prohibiting or abridging the free exercise of these sound principles. They are the most American thing in the constitution. Without these wise provisions, we would have no democratic government; indeed, history tells us we would have had no United States of America. “It is the sworn obligation of every member of the American Legion to uphold and defend these principles as faithfully, as cour- ageously, and as impartially as every other article of the Constitu- tion. We must not deny the right of free speech or peaceable as- sembly to any person or any group, not even to those whos theori we despise. Our country has enjoyed a greater degree of progr our people have been blessed by more happiness than any other country or people on earth because this government has main- ned the principles of freedom and liberty. We must not do ything to undermine them, however well intended our motives be . . . Our opposition to Communism is based primarily m the fact that it seeks to overthrow our form of government by force or violence. How, then, can we hope to accomplish our pur- pose if we resort to force or violence? When we do, we not only lescend to the level of the Communists, but we play juarely into their hand: We discredit our own cause. We prevent the law from takil course. We give aid and comfort to the Communist party in America by furnishing it with publicity it otherwise would not have. “Let me cite a congrete example. A Communist candidate for public office went to a certain city to deliver a radio speech. Under our constitution, he had a right to deliver that speech; but he was arrested and jailed on a vagrancy charge when he stepped from his train. The newspapers that afternoon and the next day carried great headlines about the incident throughout the country, and editorials denounced the arrest as a violation of the constitutional guarantee of froe speech. I have yet to read an editorial, and I have studied many, which did not condemn the action, even in the most conservative newspapers. Quick to realize the tremendous value of this publicity, the Communist went back to the same town a few days later, apparently knowing he would not be permitted to speak and also that he would get more publicity thereby. This time he was not arrested; instead he was mobbed; and the result- ant publicity was worth a thousand speeches. Had he been per- mitted to speak. he would have talked to a limited audience over a local station and it is doubtful he would have turned a single to the cause of Communism. His speech would have merited paragraph in the press, and if any editorials had been y would have condemned, not defended.” written, There is Business Fair and Warmer Fur coats are in demand again. This information comes, not from anyone with fur coats to sell, but from « statistical organization which keeps track of America’s buying pulse and notes the variations in consumer demand. It is part of a trend, according to this authority, which was reflected last summer in the increased sales of such “luxury” items as luggage and travel tickets. an index of improved economic conditions.

Reed has no liking for Hamilton nor any love for Landon. The latter was his campaign manager when Reed was nominated {for governor over Hamilton in 1926 | and subsequently elected. Reed slapped at Hamilton publicly | during the recent campaign and has been cool toward Landon ever since Alf courted the support of some of Reed's bitterest enemies in the cam- paign of 1932, { Most Kansans agree he would give Landon a stiff fight. “oe Ok & Capper Rates High The biggest man in Kansas politics | today is Senator Arthur Capper of Topeka, who retains his allegiance to the Republican party, but is essen- tially an independent progressive. Capper was elected this year for the fourth time while both Landon and the Republican candidate for governor were going down to defeat. Although loyal to Landon, Capper | was moderate in his criticisms of the New Deal. Although Commissioner of Internal Revenuc Guy Helvering, the Demo- cratic boss in Kansas, is riding high in Washington now because the Dem- ocratic ticket carried the state except in the senatorial contest and has the big undisputed voice on patronage, few men are listened to as attentive- ly in the capital when they express opinions on agricultural problems as is the senior Kansas senator.

Address Even thohgh si the which With Oth BACK TO THE CITIES (St. Paul Dispatch) The report of the Bureau of Agri- cultural Economics that the farms fur- nished the cities and towns with 386,- 000 people last year indicates a sig- nificant population shift. With the drift from farms to cities resumed, the depression trend of popu- lation is reversed. During the years of deepening depression the rural re- gions soaked up population from the urban regions. Jobless persons of farm background returned to the soil and the children who had gone to the city to seek their fortunes came back io the old homestead. ‘When the Bureau made its report in EDITORS 1930 the farm population was estimated at 27 millions, the lowest in 30 years. Quickly the tide turned and in 1932 the bureau was reporting a farm pop- ulation of over 31 millions. For the first time in many years America was witnessing a farmward movement. The bureau did not classify it as a genuine “back-to-the-farm” move- ment, but as almost wholly an attempt to obtain low-cost housing and part subsistence, Minnesota’s farm population also in- creased during the depression along with the country-wide population shift, increasing nearly four per cent in the period 1930-1935. In those five years the number of persons living on farms Reprinted te show what they . We te in this state grew from 895,000 to 928,- 000, and, as elsewhere in the nation, the movement to the land was most extensive around the cities. The present cityward drift has, of jcourse, not returned to the huge pro- portions of the 1920's when the yearly loss of the farms was over a half mil- Non annually. The turn of the tide back to the cities is accepted as a jsign that industry is once more offer- ing opportunities. But it is hoped that high taxes and small profits, the causes of migration in the former dec- ade, will not bring about another farm exodus. America needs a. better bal- ‘ance between the country and the city than it had in 1929.

Pertinax, The Tribune: The post mortem findings of Per- tinax on the election are very amus- ing to me. While the leather medals are being distributed have one struck off for yourself. Your proposition is that John Moses was ahead in the governorship race until the Demo- cratic management engaged in a dis- pute with the Welfordites as to who had the best chance of consolidating the anti-Langer votes. You assume in this article that if this issue had not been raised Mr. Moses would have been successful, and indicate that your opinion is that the Democratic management should have remained si- Tent on this point so as to give effect to the silence which the daily press was lavishing on Mr. Langer’s cam- paign, Much material could be utilized in refuting this conclusion of yourself, but I will confine myself merely to the Bismarck Tribune and your own column, because I presume you would not deny the written record made by yourself, In the September 19th issue of the Bismarck paper Pertinax wrote: “Both Democrats and Republi- cans were publicly lugubrious during the week as they expressed fear that Langer might be elected governor. Their story, as ex- pressed to various individuals, was that Langer would hold the votes he got in the primary elec- tion, whereas Welford and Moses, the Republican and Democratic candidates, would split the re- mainder, thereby electing the in- dependent candidate. Unless all signs fail, however, the parties are running a whizzer.... A rea- sonable view is that Langer has only an outside chance and here is how it can be figured . “It is as unlikely that Langer will hold the vote in June as that Moses and Welford .would divide the remainder equally.” Certainly this furnished a basis for { SIDE GLANCES - stay always wanted to little | : By George Clark | Porrrooccoorrccrcccccoccocccccocooos) “My wife wanted to go to night clubs constantly. but 1 home. place right in So we just started this our living room,” the opening of the discussion which you now attribute to others. On September 28, in the Bismarck Tribune, also appeared this para- graph: @ “The campaign of the past: week developed into a dispute be- tween Democratic and Republican camps over the relative strength of the respective candidates to unite anti-Langer votes from both parties in a clash between Sena- tor Gerald P. Nye and J. C. Eaton, Chairman of the Democratic State Committee.” In case you have forgotten what went on to form a basis for that par- agraph, please recall that Senator Nye had issued a statement to the effect that John TMoses was a fine man whose ability was not questioned, but that he had no chance because he had only received 26,000 votes in the primary, whereas Welford had re- ceived 90,000. This statement was carried con- spicuously by all the daily newspa- pers and was used to its fullest extent by all Welford supporters. Then, on October 6, in the feature article of the Bismarck Tribune, in column one, you report the real open- ing campaign talk by Acting Governor Welford under the headlines, “Wel- ford Assails Gubernatorial Foes In Fall Campaign” and quote him as saying, “A vote for John Moses is a vote for Langer.” Assuming that you were support- ing Mr. Moses, would you have re-|. mained silent, thus giving the impres- sion that you admitted that your can- didate had no chance, or would you have pointed out the true facts, which were that the Moses strength wag rap- idly increasing, whereas the strength of Mr. Welford, relative to the other candidates, was diminishing? That such was the case has been demon- strated beyond discussion by the vote in the November election. To assume that this argument by Nye was not having effect is to admit that you were not only out of touch with po- litical reaction in.the state but to as- sume that Senator Nye did not know what he was doing. Could the issue so raised be ig- nored by anyone sincerely supporting John Moses? The democrats countered this by insisting that the Moses strength was rising and the Welford strength was waning. Such answer was logical, true, effective, and required by the Seaton created by the Welford po- sil In conclusion, I suggest that if any leather medals sre to be handed out by Mr. Pertinax, for raising and par- ticipating in such campaign issue, that number one be preserted to Mr. Pertinax, number two to Senator Ger- ald P.

Perhaps the most frequent complaint about the feet is that they burn. Burning of the feet occurs in various conditions, in pronated or weak feet, in the early stages of flatfoot, in hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), in erythromelalgia (painful redness or congestion) and in acroparesthesia ARE YOUR DOGS FRETFUL AND PEEVISH UNDER PUNISHMENT? one has vite it is hard to be happy with throbbing, aching agonised dogs, Met a lady from a far country the other day. then any book. But one’s atten- of (numbness, tingling and burning of hands or feet of women of mature age, from unknown cause, possibly shortage of vitamins in diet). The relief of burning of the feet of course depentis on treatment of the cause. Sufferers should avoid constricting the leg with garters. They should use plain talcum ‘or borated talcum freely in the ahoes. Sandals, slippers or oxfords are preferable to footwear which covers or binds the instep. Painful heel is sometimes due to bursitis of the friction cushion or pad between the back of the os calcis (heel bone) and the Achilles tendon or heel cord. Rest, iodin painting, firm bandaging with cotton pads either side of the tendon, avoidance of pressure from shoes for a few days will overcome. In some cases the infection of the bursa is gonorrheal and persists much longer. Stair-climbing is particularly to be avoided. Spurs (osteophytes), bony projections or outgrowths, sometimes ap- pear on the under surface of the oscalis or heel bone and may account for much pain in the foot or heel. X-ray films show these spurs clearly. However, they are seen in some cases where there is no present complaint of heel pain. Probably pain occurs only when there is associated bursitis. Nevertheless permanent relief is best obtained by removal of these spurs, through U-shaped incision at sides and back of heel, so that after removal of the spurs the flap may be stitched back in place and leave no scar on the sole of the foot. This surgical treatment should be resorted to only after a fair trial of rest, proper support and other remedies to allay inflamma- tion has failed to bring relief. The removai of the spurs is usually com- pletely syccessful.
