Before America indulges in too much moral indignation about the conduct of the Sino-Japanese war it had better stop, take stock and see if it can afford it. President Roosevelt’s ringing denunciation of nations which seem bent on trouble was sound enough. Practically every ‘American will agree with him, just as everyone voices support for the home, the church and the school. Action by the state department in branding Japan a vio- lator of various treaties was all right, too. It merely put into words what everyone has known for weeks, stripped away the sham from a very ugly situation. But our government should be careful and, above all, our people should keep cool. If we get too involved Japan may “insult” us and then we will have to either back down or fight. Those who remember the last war will want America to stop and think carefully before getting too deeply into any néw trouble. Meanwhile, the jingoes are beginning to make themselves heard. And in the strangest places. For example Matthew Woll, vice president of the American Federation of Labor is a peaceful man, a noted diplomat in his field, yet he and other leaders of the American Federation are calling for a boycott on Japanese-made goods. In a statement at Denver, where the A. F. of L. is in convention, he castigated the Japs as aggressors and exploiters and gave it as his view that no good American would want to encourage them by buying their goods. Charles P. Howard, president of the International Typo- graphical Union and C. I. O. general secretary made it even stronger, He favores “putting anyone who buys Japanese-made goods in jail for 30 days.” Thus is the trade weapon, an old instrument of the unions, brought into the international picture. These ideas are all right, too, although it is hard to de- termine a fair charge upon which to base the jail sentence, But these gentlemen ought not to be too loud in their ideas. They might properly exercise more moderation and restraint. After all, just one thing should be driven home to the | __American people and those in responsible positions should co- operate in the effort. Everyone in this country should be made to understand that THIS ISN’T OUR WAR and we should |# be careful not to get into it. Adults with any memory at all will remember that we got into one war TO MAKE THE WORLD SAFE FOR DEMOC- RACY. And look what happened. Informative and Saddening Addressing the Kiwanis club Tuesday, Bishop Ralph S.|t Cushman of the Methodist church made the significant com-|,, ment: “many Christians would be equally horrified to hear it (Christianity) doubted or to see it practiced.” There is much food for thought in that remark. It im- Tm plies recognition by this able and conscientious churchman of one of the leading handicaps faced by religion and religious teachers. He was commenting on the difference between’ real ad- herence to principles and the lip-service which is all too com- mon. He was discussing today’s whited sepulchres, those who perpetually practice hypocrisy, one of the oldest of all vices. The churches, themselves, find it almost impossible to deal with this situation. What can they do with a person who bbserves the forms but ignores the spirit, who outwardly com- plies with all the requirements but remains totally oblivious to the real meaning of Christianity? The problem is one of importance to everyone for, as ably pointed out by Rev. Tippett in his lecture Thursday night, ad- hherence by the world to Christian principles would go far toward solving our current ills. And it is easier to deal'with a frank and avowed unbeliever than with those who talk one doctrine and act another. It is sometimes said that if Christ were to return to earth today he would again be crucified, this time by many who pro- Cr f 2 ! Lg! Drop into almost any one of North Dakota’s four major political camps these days and you'll find the atmos- phere a deep indigo hue, The stand- ard song is that old Negro spiritual, “Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen,” only, in this case, the future tense is more popular than the past. Everyone is looking for trouble and unless all signs fail each group will get its full share. Let's take them one at a time and look them over. se € Number one on the list is the state's major political enigma, Mr. Mimere are plenty of people in th ere are plenty of peopl e state who will comment freely that “Bill can have anythiing he wants,” and “Bill is unbeatable.” They are wrong, of course—and no The Democratic battle over patron- age was reviewed in a recent article, siong with the fight for power and a place in the sun.

Both are optimists. If they weren’t they wouldn’t be where they are now. But each has a stong streak of realism and this tells them that bad things COULD happen to them. ‘Their main hope, at the moment, is that the division in politics which permitted them to win in the first place will continue. In case it doesn’t they hope to come out on top in any consolidations which may be in order. xe * hi The major administration to date has been that of taking it easy.

The two most spectacular moves he has made to date seem to have worked out about 50-50 from the po- litical standpoint. The firet was the shake-up at the state agricultural college. It made a lot of people mad. In this class are many alumni and former students, friends of the men who were given the grand bounce on such short notice and those who just don’t like that kind of political manipulation. Of these groups the latter is the most important. But there also exists among some farmers favorable reaction. contention is college has been giving them a lot of wrong dope for years; that it has belittled farming by an apparent de- sire to teach everything th subjects important to agriculture and that it needed a lambasting to make it more serviceable The latter felt that the governor was giving them a break ap- Plauded even more loudly than the farmers.

D., Det. 5, 1937, Editor, Tribune: Because of the general resentment against the method used in the re- moval of a number of instructors at the state Agricultural college, I feel that there is danger of some people giving their support to the proposed constitutional amendment concerning a change in the administration of our institutions of higher education with- out giving due study to the same, It is my opinion that the vital is- sue in the proposed constitutional |; amendment is not the change in the administration of our educational in- stitutions, but a change in our con- stitutional form of government. Our present form of government is] ».'9 composed of three different branches. First, is the legislative, which the people, through their rep- resentatives, create the laws, the rules and regulations according to which they must live, how the gov- ernment revenue shall be collected and how it shall be spent. Second is the executive, which is composed of officials elected by the people to the executive duty of seeing that the laws are obeyed, and the ad- ministrative duty to see that the money is spent according to the rules set forth by the people, Third is the judiciary, composed of officials elected by the people to con- duct our courts, to act as a referee tory | between the people and the executive and administrative officials. Where the executive officials can bring the people they believe to be violating or having violated the laws set forth by the people. And where the people, as citizens or as a state, can take the administrative officials to answer charges that they are not conducting their office according to the laws set forth by the people. Therefore, it has been the accepted | ¢. opinion, that, in order to protect our| Chi courts from outside influence they must be entirely independent of the ‘This proposed constitutional amend- ment invests administrative duties in the supreme court, by requiring the | chief justice of the supreme court to name an eligible for the office of the through | f' of naming elegibles for the adminis- tration of higher education.
