The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1927-09-23

Mr.. William Gibbs McAdoo's statement that
he is definitely out Of the race for the Demo-
cratic nomination is another II do not choose"
and it is one which probably will serve to ease
the situation in the Democratic party as moth
ing else could have done.
Until Mr.. McAdoo announced his withdrawal
there was discreet silence on the part Of most
Democrats. There were shivers at what might
happen when Al Smith and McAdoo forces
clashed at the 1923 convention. There were
sleepless nights spent trying to figure out what
would happen should compromise candidate
be elected
But now all that is ended Mr. McAdoo has
done the graceful thing and his act should go
a long way toward bringing peace to the Dem
ocratic party. A choice between the Scylla of
party disruption and the Charybdis of with
drawal confronted Mr.. McAdoo. He chose to
withdraw. and by that act he must merit some
praise for his apparent sacrifice.
Now, even if the Democrats cannot elect
their candidate, they can nominate him with
out doing such great amount Of vocalizing
as they did last year. And that will be q
great thing.

Europe and Industry

: writer for an eastern newspaper who has
tjust returned from Europe comments on the
fwizardry which has brought out of the wreck
e.age Of war modern industrial and economic
tmachine, with immense resources to fight for
world markets.
The postwar age will be known as "the in
idustrial renaissance" he comments, and points
TO the fact that Europe is now stronger indus
ltrially than ever before, willing and able to
upset the trade balance Of the world which now
lies with the United States
1t may be that in time to come the Euro
Ipeans will have cause to be grateful to the
world war for one thing: its destruction of the
|outmoded industrial methods previously in use
! on the continent and in England. During the
past eight years Europe has taken the struc-
| ture Of its business and remodeled it so that it
complies with all efficiency rules There is
less duplication, less waste, in European manu-
featuring these days.
The new passion in Europe is not to gain
more lands, but to gain more trade. This is
the aim Of nearly every country. And Ameri-
can methods are being used to gain that trade.
The time is rapidly nearing when America
will have to carry on a more aggressive mer-
chandising campaign among The countries with
which it trades. If not Europe is likely to
checkmate merchants of this country with
their own weapons. There can be no slacken-
ing in the work for foreign trade on the part
of the United States with the new Europe in
the field.

II you can imagine a corporation in which
the stockholders maintained no interest, just
try to picture also how the officers Of such
concern would conduct it's affairs
Iehn p. Edgerton, president of the National
Association Of Manufacturers, has some inter-
esting figures on just such a corporation. He
says:
'Twenty-seven million people stayed away
from the polls in the presidential election Of
the polls in the presidential election Of 1924
There were 100000 eligible voters in 1924
and only 29.000,000 Of those cast their ballots
The percentage Of actual voters to eligible
voters IN the latter election was 51.2 as against
]o.l IN the previous campaign. Both figures

called civic consciousness of the people of this

One More Season Ends

The end Of the season is drawing near for
the hitch hiker." These summer nomads who
make their way from one end of the country
to the other by getting rides from passing mo-
florists will soon be abandoning their adventur-
ing, some to return to college, others to work,
and still others to riding the rods"
Every summer thousands are added to the
array Of confirmed hitch mixers" whose creed
is to travel without expense and to experience
the joys of motoring without it's troubles.
But the lot Of the "hitch hiker" is not as
easy as It once was. Motorists, warned by the
experience Of some who have been slugged and
robbed by seemingly innocent-appearing hik-
rides. And they are using good judgment
It is doubtless a nice thing for the youth
who wants to see the country cheaply to take
this method of doing it. but the wise motorist
is stopping to pick up no one. There is too
much danger involved.

There were 1874 arrests for
drunkenness in Washington, D. c.,
in the last fiscal year. Maybe that's
why Secretary Lnwman thinks pro-
hibition is so hard to enforce in New
York.

about. Just consider the egg.
You don't have to have an or.

We know now what summer was

Comparisons in Fame
New York T'imes)


The old question about the advantage which
one man, or profession, has over another in the
title to enduring fame has recently been
threshed over again in the English press.
What started the discussion was remark
which John Bright made to Nh Morley when
the latter went to consult him about the biog-
raphy of his former close friend and colleague,
Richard Golden. With a touch Of melancholy
in his voice, as he was recalling the past, Mr.
Bright said How short is the fame Of pub
lie man compared with that of writer" He
went on to cite the instance of Sir Robert Peel,
who for many years filled an immense space
in English life, but who had since sunk into
semi-oblivion, with no written works to follow
him and keep his memory alive. The case
seems hardly conclusive. Sir Robert Peel will
live long in the biographies Of other statesmen,
and his famous saying about making the bread
Of the working man sweeter because untaxed
is still as often quoted as any excerpt from
writer's contemporary with him. Besides, he
gave the name "peeler" to the London police,
which will long carry remembrance of him.
All such comparisons, if not odous, have an
air Of futility about them. The different cat
egories are not sharply defined. An example
can always be dragged out of one class to con-
flute the arguments of those who champion the
other. Perhaps Disraeli struck close to the Sc
cret of the business when he said that states
man who is also literary man carries double
edged weapon. Even with that, there can be
no certainty of cleaving way to the lasting
homage of posterity. A writer-statesman may
not, when passing from earth, be any more
sure than poet that his name is not writ in
water. And either the craftsmanship or the
literature will be superior in the memory Of
men who come after; both seldom advance with
equal regard. 1t is probable that today the
achievements of John Quincy Adams as a pub
lie man, and they were considerable in his day,
are overshadowed by his invaluable contribu-
ton to political history in the form Of his i'm
mortal Diary

No Sky Robbers
(Ann Arbor Times News

Air express planes, though carrying pack
ages valued at thousands of dollars, will not be
armed against bandits, for the simple reason
that the aero bandit has not yet put in his ap-
pearance.
It seems, indeed, as though aerial travel is
safe from holdup men, by virtue of the appar-
ent tact that there is no way for them to op-
crate. However, it is not yet safe to make the
statement that the aerial holdup man is an i'm
possibility. 1t would not be surprising, indeed,
II the scientific sky burglar ultimately made
his appearance.
AVIATION IS IN its infancy, and therefore it
faces no complex problems. Such difficulties
will develop. no doubt, in time. There is bound
to be an aerial traffic situation calling for con-
trol, and numerous other problems Of which
there has not as yet been even hint.
For example, there recently developed in
Grand Rapids problem involving a church
and Sunday flying. The church protested that
aviators flying over the edifice of worship
made so much noise that the services were in
corrupted, and request was made that air
travel in that particular lane be prohibited on
the Sabbath day.
That may be an inkling Of what lies in store
tor aviation as it expands on a large scale. It
seems unlikely that all will be smooth sailing.

will not be SAFE until, of course, the flying cops

Of humor were the most important
essentials of all.
Wheeler was an intense little
figure, whose favorite gesture was
an out-thrust fist, but he knew tnoe
while some Legislators could only be
coerced by Stlpng-arm methods
others could be won only by sugar.
His own brand Of humor was always
on tap and often he more than held
his own against . heckling audience
by virtue Of it.
But in the debate with Clarence
barrow at Ne York ear, this year
he couldn't put himself over. Little
groups in the audience chanted in
unison, 1--WE Want Beer!" over and
over again, breaking up his speech.
It was the first time, according to
his frienls, that the Wheeler plat.
form power had not prevailed
against a hostile crowd. He was,
however, q sick man.
They had known within the
league for more than q year that
Wheeler was doomed. League folk
admit that they lied about his health.
Several times in the last Is months
he was near death, but he was cred.
tied with great vitality. Then came
the terrible tragedy in which Wheel
er's wife was burned to death.

Wheeler. "She had given up her
many outside interests to give him
constant care and she lad prolonged
his life. If she had beer there to
save him exertion, Mr.. Wheeler
would not now be dead. If she had
lived, he would have survived the
year, but we doubt if he could have
lasted longer in any event."
After his wife's death, q flood Of
letters came to Wheeler. Scores were
from persons he had never known,
but who seemed to worship his name.
Many Of them were illiterate, but
they were all expressive and Wheel
er personally acl owledged each one.
To his fri nds who spok to him,
Wheeler was impatient Of sympathy.

ical Association and of Hygeia,

When fatigue or exhaustion de-
velops in any human being, if the
fatigue is not overcome by suitable
rest, the result is likely to be what
is sometimes called nervous
breakdown" In an attempt to find
out what changes occur through lack
Of sleep, Investigations recently
have been made in the departments
Of anatomy and Of pharmacology in
the University of Wisconsin Medical
School. Animals which went for con-
siderable periods of time without
sleep were studied as to the ultimate
effects.
It was found that lack of sleep
may result in collapse and even in
death, d that various animals diff
fer greatly as to the amount Of en-
durance without sleep. The shortest
period in which any animal cola .,sed
was seven days and the longest
thirty-one days.
Previous to the breakdown there
usually is q sudden fall in the tenn
peratur q sudden rise and then q
fall in the pulse rate associated also
with gradual reduction in the
breathing rate.
Significant changes were found to
take place in the nerve cells Of the
spinal cord, as tie result Of exhaus-
tion. cells lose some Of the
material which is necessary to their
life and undergo actual degenera-
tions.
The entire nervous system is 80
definitely affected that the nerve
cells undergo anatomical changes
from which it may be difficult for
them to recover.
Thus scieK ific evidence dew led
in the laboratory proves what many
men have found by observation on
themselves or on others. Conditions
actually associated with la of sleep
result in terrific disturbance Of the
human system that may lead to col
lapse and death.
