The Democratic Chairman

John j. Raskob is a symbol of successful Americas
business. AS such he has been chosen by Governor
AL Smith as chairman of the Democratic national
committee.
Smith is not afraid of the liquor and religious is
sues which may be raised against his candidacy BY
his early campaign tactics, stressing his Catholicism
and his desire to modify the prohibition law, he has
demonstrated his belief that these tissues" will help
him carry the normal Republican States of the North
Atlantic seaboard which he must capture to win the
election.
But the widespread and traditional conviction Of
merchants, manufacturers and bankers in many parts
of the country that Democratic Administration
would be "bad for business is the sort of thing that
even the daring AL not face without quaking Just
because it is an intangible thing, it is difficult to
conquer.
In characteristic fashion AL shows his political as
tuteness and heterodoxy by meeting superstition
with another BY naming the chairman of the finance
committee of General Motors his campaign chief,
Smith already has many people saying and thinking
that the backing of Raskob and the big financial inter
ests represented by him means Smith Administra
ton would be good for business"
Such considerations leave rather cold Both
major political parties long have had the support of
large business groups. and wall Street usually has
had as much voice in Democratic as Republican Ad-
nninistrations.
Now that the Democrats are approaching the Re-
publican tariff position, the shadowy economic dis
tnction between the two is even less.
It is no more significant that John j. Raskob and
owen D. Young are supporting Smith than that
Henry Ford and Andrew Mellon Supporting
Hoover.
Nor will Raskob, chairman Of the Democratic
national committee, be in fact essentially more i'm
portant than such men have been as hidden financial
angels" and advisers behind the scenes in most cam
paigns and in both parties.
The only question is whether Smith or Hoover, if
elected would permit any representative of wealth
to exert improper influence upon the Government.
We believe Goth Smith and Hoover to be above

Georgia delivering himself against bill to establish
q public library gave his reasons thus:
There are only three books in the world worth
reading, the Bible the hymn-book and the almanac.
These three books are enough for anyone Read the
Bible--it teaches you how to act Read the hymn
book-it contains the finest poetry written. Read
the alrna-ac-it shows you how to figure out what
the weather will be.
There isn't another book that is necessary to read
and therefore am opposed to all libraries"

Taste" by Prcf John Bailey, published in England
by the oxford Press this interesting specimen is
preserved in literary amber (The members name un-
fortunately is omitted)
The author is discussing literary standards and
ouch questions as whether Shakespeare is really

M. P. from Georgia. he says lis obviously OF the
opinion that Shakespeare is not real poet"
In this, he points out, he could have found sup
porters in the early eighteenth century, when Dr.
johnson is found to be displeased with King Lear
That play, by the way, was for a long time played
with a happy ending" So there is hope for the

intimated that century or two hence the Shaw
plays may be held superior to the Shakespearean.

century as the outstanding literary genius of the
twentieth century with Sinclair Lewis close second?

TN a recent consideration Of the
L causes of high blood pressure
based on an examination after
death of 420 cases, Drs. E. T. Bell
and B. j. Clawson Of the department
of pathology of the University OF
Minnesota divided the cases into
three types.
There are those in which the rise
of blood pressure is sudden and
transitory. those in which the rise
comes and goes repeatedly, and
those in which it is permanent.
A sudden rise in the blood pres
sure may follow emotional disturb
ances. such as fear, anxiety, anger,
or worry; may be associated with
severe pain, such as accompanies the
acute onset of many diseases, or
may be associated with unusual
physical exertion.
It is believed that sudden rises in
the blood pressure Of this nature
may be a part of some disturbance
in the adjustments of the circulation
of the blood.
In most instances. however, an
acute rise in the blood pressure,
which disappears promptly, is OF
little significance.
1t is, of course, possible to pro
duce a sudden rise in the blood
pressure by injecting various drugs
which have the power to contract
the blood vessels, and which raise
the pressure in the same way that
the pressure in a garden hose may
be raised by constructing the hose.
That the height of the blood pres
sure may be influenced by various
glandular secretions or by changes
associated with the glands that take

Modification Issue

In making modification the issue,
Governor Smith merely squares the
campaign with his record.
He was left no other course un-
less he wished to play the part of
an obvious hypocrite and pussy
fcoter. The Democratic party knew
lie was wet before it nominated him
as candidate for President, The
doubtful dry plank it ADOPTED
meant nothing, except as a sugar
coated pill for some disgruntled
leaders.
If it fooled any of the politicians,
which it probably did not, it fooled
no one else.

Smith Shows BoIdness

The position taken by Governor
Smith has the virtue of holiness.
While most people expected him to
make modification the issue, they
hardly looked for him to so shape
the campaign as would make New
York and nearby States it's pivot.
But here again, he takes the only
sensible course. He knows the East
and what he can do with it, looks
for the South to function normally
and hopes for some help from dis
contented farmers.
Like a good general, he is choos-
ing the battle-ground that he has
studied and that contains no I'M
looked-for pitfalls.
The idea of diverting his atten-
ton from New York and nearby
States, which so many of his ad-
visors have advanced is preposter-
GUS. If he cannot carry them, he
cannot be- elected, and he cannot
carry them without concentrated
effort.
Even if he carries New York,
Massachusetts,, Rhode Island, Con-
necticut, New Jersey and the solid
South, including Maryland, Ken
lucky, Tennessee, Missouri and Ok
lahoma, he will lack two electoral
votes of the necessary 266.
If he fails to get the necessary
electoral votes outside the East and
the solid South, he still will have
pursued the only kind of campaign
that offers any promise of success.
In this respect, at least, he al
ready has proved his shrewdness.

All Is Handicapped

What most people fail to realize
is the handicaps under which Gov
ernor Smith enters this campaign.
To begin with he is the nominee of
a party which polled only about
one-third of the votes in the last
two elections. He is the first Ro-
man Catholic ever to be nominated.
He carries the trade mark Of Tam
many Hall.
He is New Yorker, and that has
its disadvantages, no matter what
some people may think. He enjoys
the acquaintance, if not the favor,
Of certain Wall Street interests,
which is something that the Demo-
cratic party always has protested to
scora.
He had no issue with which to
make an impression except lnodi-
f1cation of the liquor laws, and that
issue was not desired by many
Democrats.
Under such circumstances, he has
done the only sensible thing, and
that is take the bull by the horns"

A recent letter by an indignant
citizen to a Chicago newspaper
illustrates. we believe, a state of
mind not infrequently met in dis
cussions of American democratic
institutions.
Mr.. Smith," the letter says, "is
playing to the masses. When we
stop to realize what the masses
are, one sees that Mr.. Smith is
dedicating his party to the most
general class Of ignorants and for
eigners.
I'VE as American citizens do not
want our country run on the mass
principle. We want to eliminate
the masses by giving them higher
and better principles together with
respect and obedience for our laws
and constitution"
We might accomplish what the
correspondent apparently desires
in a simple, eXpedient manner,
simply by DISTINGUISHING all who
agree with Mr.. Smith or who dis
agree with the Republican party.
Or we might disfranchise all
who do not pass the test of ma
tivity, nationality, color, creed and
political belief possibly adding to
this list a qualification regarding
wealth or personal property and
thus we would have a tight little
government. quite as efficiently
managed as the Sinclair-F Fall
Daugherty syndicate.
There would be some difficulties,
of course. How "the masses" hav-
ing been pledged to political
equality by our forefathers, would
greet a movement to take from
them their voting power lin their
own interests, of course) is a seri-
Gus question. People, whether
they are of the masses" or the
Classes" do not like to have
rights and liberties taken from
them.
I'VE Americans" says the cor
respondent. do not want our
country run on the mass princi-
pie =. we want to give them re-
spect for our laws and constitu-
ton"
But the Constitution, plus the
weight of the Declaration of In
dependence, guarantee es the
masses the right to rule. How,
then shall we teach them respect
for the Constitution and our laws
unless we teach them at the same
time that they have a right to
partake of the duties and respon-
sibilities Of government?
I'VE, as Americans" forsooth!
Were they "ignorants and for
eigners' who, at the peril of their
lives. inscribed their names to a
document that guaranteed the
civil liberties of the colonists and
that opened war against Eng
land to support it?
Were they "ignorants and for
eigners" who framed a Constitu-
ton designed to protect the rights
of the masses and to prevent the
erection of an aristocratic gov
eminent?
If it is time to upset the tradi-
tional institutions under which
this nation has lived and pros
pered for more than a century
and a half, let us have a new
Constitutional convention.
And let us say, frankly and
boldly, that the time has come to
adopt a monarchy, an oligarchy.
or a dictatorship as the pattern
for our future government But
when we do that, let us not desc
crate the word American" by
calling our new system "the Amer
lean government"

Frank Redstone died at his
home west of Wolf Point Sunday
morning at the age of about So.
Death was caused by a gladstone
attack an ailment to which he
was subject. He had been at
work the day before but was TAX
en- suddenly i'll Sunday morning
and passed away almost immed-
lately.
Frank Redstone, who was a full
blood Assiniboine, was a grand
son of old Chief Redstone, the
last to hold that title in this tribe.
He was born near the present
site of Wolf Point. When he was
a boy he attended school at Sisse-
ton, S. Oak, and Genoa, Nebr. For
five or six years he was in the
government service. He farmed
west of Wolf Point and raised a
number of cattle. He was liked
by both Indians and whites and
was among the most highly re-
spected among the Indians on
the reservation.
He leaves five children to
his death, Elsie, (Mrs.
Hoenck) Frank, Norman, Justin
and Amy. His brother, Fred
Redstone, resides at Oswego.

Bainville Farmer Not
Guilty in Assault Trial

BAINVILLE, Aug. 13.-The cases
of the state against James Miller
and the state against James Nc
Cam for destruction of property
regarding a fence were dismissed
in Judge Keplinger's court here,
and Mccain was found not guilty
of assault. The trouble started
over a fence that was alleged to be
100 feet over on Miller's land. When
Miller moved it back, he set it
over too far, thus placing it on Nc
CAMS land. The men, both of
whom are more than so years old,
came to blows over the affair,
then each arrested the other for
assault and destruction of property.
Because of lack of evidence,
neither was able to prove the
other guilty. Hugh Marion of Wolf
Point, was counsel for the plaintiff
while Mccain defended himself.
