The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1927-09-02
BY RODNEY BUTCHER

Washington. Sept. 2.-If the Demo
cratic presidential nomination goes
TO either Senator James A. Reed or
Governor Alfred y. Smith, the 1923
sentiments of the brass industry
will be easy to predict.
For if either of these gents comes
to live in the White House, there is
going to be a demand for large
supply Of such brass rcceptaclcs as
arc seen most often in male smok-
Reed and Smith are two rugged,
fighting hc-guys. One of them ped
died fish and newspapers on city
streets in his youth and the other
hocd corn and pulled weeds on a
farm.
Thus it is no cause for astonish-
ment to find them today the two
foremost opponents in national poll
tics of the manly art of eXpectora-
ton. Each has an cnviablc priva.e,
rather than public, reputation for
salivary achievement.
Some impulsivc persons will
promptly suggest that here lig& an
excellent method of choosing a prcsi-
Dental candidate, which otherwise
is going to be a messy and heart
breaking task. Let Reed and Smith
shoot it out, and may the best man
win.
But, quite aside from the fact that
William G. McAdoo,is altogether too
dry ever to have any ammunition
and that Governor Ritchic's ability
is totally unknown, there is another
objection this "lan.
Smith and Reed represent two diff
fcrcnt schools in this art. While
Smith has always gone in for dis
lance work, Reed has been content
with the short strokes. Although
none questions Reeds endurance
powers, it is altogether likely that
he would require years Of earnest
effort before he could acquire Smiths
vastly superior range.

Colonel Lndbergh has often, in his tour of the

political groups This country has avoided that
danger And aviation should progress accordingly.

IN NEW YORK

New York, Sept. mo visitor to
Manhattan should fail to peep in on
the most hectic 20 minutes to be
found anywhere under the sun with
the exception perhaps. of the Stock
Exchange during market raid.
This sigh. can be witnessed almost
any evening simply by walking to 44th
and Broadway. The time is 8 to $3.50
p. M. And the place is Joe Lcblang's
ticket agency.
Here come all the last minute COM
batants for bargain seats at the
theatres. A bargain counter is a
quiet and peaceful scene by contrast.
Out of the streets mill all the good
folk who have made up their
minds ut the last minute. Arms
shoot out right and left and
voices are raised to high pitch. From
hotels and clubs and apartments
come phone calls and clerks who
dart about like airplanes. Money
changes with the rapidity of light
ming and into outstrctched hands arc
thrust bits of paper that act as "opcn
sesame" to Broadway theatre doors.
Half the crowd is hoping for last
minute bargain. The names Of pro-
ductions flash down upon scores Of
eyes and quick decisions must be
made, however wrong they may even
tualy prove.
Its practically all over in 20
minutes, but during that timc-Oh,

time the wholc/town seemed to hear
about Tommy Lyman. He was sing
ing over at Jimmy Kclly's. And for
many year, he made Broadway
mcnt lanes to hear him.
About year ago, dropping in ut

WASHINGTON nv
LETTER &&

On the other hand, the senator can
give much better imitation of a
machine-gun than the governor.
If the contest we're to be based
on mere craftsmanship, it is to be
feared that the proceedings would
be more unfair than ever. The Smith
partsans insist that their man can
deliver with unerring aim from
point Is feet away. He is, such
perfect sharp sh ootcr, in fact, that
he long ago abandoned the simple
bull's-cye and has since taken great
delight in just clearing the brass
rim on the far side; making hurdle
out Of the receptacle.
Reed. one is led to fear, can lay
claim to no such control.
Smith delights to chew all day on
dry cigar, sometimes lighted but
never long lit. His favoritc method
of going into action is to remove his
coat and hoist his brOgans higher
than his head on convenient chair
or table. He then uses his shoes
much as u hunter uses the sights at
the end Of his rifle.
One Of your correspondents most
precious memories is Of the appear
ancc of Senator Reed before the Mas
sachusetts supreme court many years
ago. Its dignity is. one of the most
painful affairs recorded since the
Spanish inquisition. Imagining
spittOon in that court room is to ac-
ccpt the possibility of a scmi-nude
chorus girl sitting on the arm of the
presidents chair ut cabinet meet
ing. And to imagine any Massachu-
sets lawyer splitting, just even once,
on that courtroom floor is to imagine
him in the electric chair just AS soon
as the court could recover enough
breath to sentence him there.
But Reed minded not tradition,
dignity or lack of facilities. The
floor stretched out before him and
Reed accepted the invitation. Furth-
ermorc he got away.with it, although

Recently newspapers carried mucl,
agitation relative to the suicide Of
persons approaching college age
Actually, the suicide rate for persons
of this age has not varied greatly
for many years.
In ten years, from 1911 to 1929,
there were reported in the United
States only six eases Of child SUICIDE.
including four boys and two girls
from five to nine years Of age. From
ne ages often to fourteen there were
1875 boys and las girls.
Love Disappointment
In the next age period, however,
from fifteen to nineteen years of
age, there were 1885 women and 16l4
men. Women at this particular age
are likely to be disturbed by disap-
pointmcnt in love, the expectancy
of illegitimatc childbirth and similar
scv problems.
From the ages Of twenty to twenty
four there were 1891 men, as com
pared with 1853 women: at the ages
of thiryfivc to thirty-ninc, 1928 men
as compared with approximately 5000
women. Inc greatest number of
women commit suicide between the
ares Of twenty-five to twenty nine,
whereas the largest number of men
between the ages Of thirty five to
thirty mine.
As Concerns Marriage
Suicide in old age is relatively in
frequent as compared with that in
middle life. While the figures arc
not absolutely denendable. they az
rear to indicate that married people
commit suicide less frequently than
do the single. that widows commit
suicide more often than do married
people or single people. and that
widowcrs are even more prone to
suicide than widows.
In all Of the groups concerned, the
divorced commit suicide most frc-
qucntly.

Our friend Aimee, after a brief

Some time ago, Aimee preached in

This seems to be one case where
the reverend sister has bit off more

be devil, though visitors to his

OUTLOOK FOR FAVORABLE CROP YEAR
IS SMOST PROMISING IN LAST DECADE

All planted crops in Montana have
a better moisture reserve than for
any year since 1916. This condition
is general and the outlook for a IA
vOrable crop year is the most prom
ising for the last decade, according to
A. H. Bowman, commissioner of the
department of agriculture, labor and
industry. Mr.. Bowman points out,
however, that to date the crop season
has been below normal in tempera-
ture and as result there is "a gen
eral retardatiOn of all plant growth.
With warmer weather even this sit
-uation may be entirely Offset, except
possibly in the case of beans, sugar
beets and corn, which for best results
need the full growing season. The
favorable moisture conditions have
encouraged farmers, the commission
er AYERS, to plant all of the acreage
within their power, and in spite of
unfavorable planting and seeding
weather, total crop acreage will be
fully equal to last year.
"The average total precipitation
from II weather bureau stations dur
ing the month of May" Mr.. Bowman
says, "was five and two-tenths inches,
last year the average was one and
five-tenths inches. This year there
was an excess of moisture during
May as compared to last, of. almost
three inches. This May rainfall has
provided wonderful soil storage. In
many instances water has penetrated
to a depth of six and seven feet or
summer fallOwed ground and four tc
five feet on sod.
In the mountains much soft snow
remains. Streams are running brim.
full and later flood damage will de.
pend upon how the large storage OF
mountain snow runs off. In some O1
the low lands of the Milk River val
ley there has already been some dam
age, principally to sugar beets.
Il note, according to the state
newspapers, that wheat acreage will
probably be reduced from II to Il
per cent. Our information to date
does not agree with this estimate. i
is yet too early to tell whether wheat
acreage will be increased or decreas
ed, but In either case the change viii
be very slight. The official govern
ment-state acreage report will not b,
released this year until July.
Il think there will be some change
in crop paintings due to the late sea
son. There will probably be NOR,
barley and flax and less corn. Acre
