The New AppOrtionment

Now that the census bureau has decided North Dakota,
along with some 81 other states, will lose representation
in the national congress in 1882, considerable attention
will be given here to the manner in which the change
from three to two congressman should be made.
Politically minded folk already have been studying the
subject and observations are many that it carries within
itself some of the finest political s~quabbles which North
Dakota has seen in recent years.
For instance, there are some who discuss the advisable
iy Of a ~gerrymander, as such divisions of territory are
known, and who are trying to so devise matters that their
particular faction of the Republican party will be sure
of winning both congressional seats.
There are others who feel that the matter had better
be left to rest and that both congressman should be
elected at large. Because 1t Is the easy way out, many
folks whose lips now taste the grease of political pork
chops will favor it. Whatever troubles the refusal to
reapportion might bring. they would not be Immediately
apparent-to those now sitting in the seat of power.
1t is sincerely to be hoped, however, that North Da-
kota,s legislature will have better sense than to let such
counsel prevail. There Is so much diversity Of interest
between the eastern and the western parts Of the state
that honest differences of opinion may we'll occur o.:
many matters which come up in congress.
The chief advocates Of the "at-large" idea come from
the eastern part of the state and we have a faint Sus.
picion that this section would have better than a fal
chance of getting both congressman.
Without getting too ~presumptuous in speaking for tn
people of the Missouri Slope area, The Tribune venture
the opinion that this idea will be none too popular here
abouts, regardless of ones political affiliations.
Unless western North Dakota has a congressman t.
represent it and its interests alone, the people in thi
section will feel that something has been put over OF
them.
And the result of such q feeling may be to promot
sectional discord which will augur III for tho future prog
rcss OF the state.

No Reason to Be Proud

Football games are being played for charity. Cities
r registering their unemployed and urging household
crs to find odd jobs wherever they can. New ROADS are
being laid down and new buildings are being built; lac
tories are staggering their working shifts, SO that q
given number of Jobs can be made to go farther, and
various community chest projects are getting under way.
Plainly. the nation is devoting itself to the relief OF the
misery brought on by unemployment. If anything that
might be done is not being done, or at least attempted
it is hard to think what 1t could be.
Nevertheless, without in any way criticizing any OF the
relief measures that are being undertaken, 1t would De
a good thing If We could be made to understand that
we have no reason to feel especially proud OF ourselves
for the work. No matter how %splendidly these relief
Jobs are performed, at the end we shall have done no
more than the very least we could do IN decency.
For this whole relief program is at best only a stop
gap measure-something to tide us temporarily over a
sudden crisis. Even after due allowances are made for
the fine spirit of charity and brotherhood that enters
into it, in the last analysis it is not q pretty business.
What does this whole program OF relief work mean,
anyway? Simply that our civilization has proved itself
to be terribly defective somewhere; simply that the rich
est country in the world, the country that has more mil
lionaires than any other country on earth. the country
that boosted only recently about the imminent abolition
Of poverty. finds itself utterly unable to provide some
millions of its citizens will, a chance to earn a living.
Giving a hungry man a bowl of soup and a cup OF
coffee is a fine thing. It Is likewise very fine to send
coal to families that cannot afford to buy any, and to
provide part-time work for men who have been idle
But such things only scratch the surface. What the ul-
employed worker needs is a job-a real JOB, full-tme
and well-paid. carrying with 1t the assurance that II
is going to last as long as he does his work decently.
That. Of course, Is elementary. But it needs to be said
and to be repeated over and over again. For if it Is moi
we arc too apt to get self-satisfied, and forget that ou
whole economic machine needs a bit of overhauling.
Probably it will be necessary for this relief work te
continue through most of the winter. When spring
comes most of it can be discontinued. But the fun
damcntal problem will be just as bad then as 1t Is now.
Just what the solution may be is a puzzling question
The important thing. however, is to remember that i
is a question that has to be answered. All OF our relie1
work is only a temporary %expedient.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Spots Before Eyes

Question: M. j. asks: What
causes black spots and chains and
webs to float in front of my eyes all
the time? Have been troubled this
way for about five years"
Answer. This trouble is usually
caused from the blood being in a
highly toxic state, and some of these
impurities affect the eyes. The
trouble a often be cured through a
complete deterioration of the system
by fasting, dieting, exercising and
other hygienic measures.

PimpleS on Tongue

Question: Mrs. K. H. j. asks: will
you please tell me why I always get
pimples on my tongue after eating
Walnuts?"
Answer: There is an acid contained
in the skin of the walnut which
proves irritating to some people. This
is why you notice pimples or the
tongue after eating them. You should
either blanch the walnuts or substi-
tute blanched almonds or pecans.

AbScess of Bladder

Question: r. o. asks: What are
the causes and symptoms Of abscess
of the bladder? And what can be
done for this trouble? Is it the same
as cystitis?"
Answer: Cystitis means inflamma-
ton of the bladder and of course this
is always present when there is an
abscess. The symptoms may be very
much the same, but if the abscess is
discharging there will be large guam
titles of pus voided with the urine.

would depend upon a correct dag
