Sees Propaganda Aim.
MY dear Mr.. Wadsworth:
Il have received your letter Of No
vember IL addressed to me as chair
man of the National Republican Com
mittee. I assume that this letter is
written in good faith, although it has
the element of propaganda which is
carried out by the fact that it was
given to the press before it was re-
ceived by me.
I'm reply to your specific recon-
mendation that the Republican party
recommend the repeal of the eighteenth
amendment, 1 am stating to you that
l shall use my influence to prevent the
party from committing a fatal blunder
in asking for the repeal OF the eight
zenith amendment.
Yours very truly,

Claims Misunderstanding.
In statement to the Associated
Press Senator Wadsworth said:
The Senator seems not to under
stand the proposal contained in my
letter to him. did not urge upon him
that the Republican party recommend
the repeal of the eighteenth amend
ment. I urged that the Republican
party employ the constitutional ma
chinery which would give to the peo-
Pile, OF the States an opportunity to
vote yes or no on the question. Let
the people decide"

The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1931-02-20

If everyone put on a pair of spangled tights and turned
somersaults on iron bars. But along with all the people
who minister to its physical and mental and spiritual
needs it also needs somebody, now and then, to sound
the call to adventure, to open the doors into a glamorous
place, as unreal as the shining figures which the spot
lights find at the circus roof, and as remote as the dis
lance between a sawdust floor and a white top.
Every day people die as they perform their tasks.
That was what Lillian Leitzel was doing. It was her
Job to put a little sparkle into the march Of stodgy
thoughts that go parading through most of our minds.
Somehow tasks were easier when people knew that once
in awhile there was someone who swayed to dangerous
music, unafraid.
Every little girl who has wished that she could climb
a stepladder without getting dizzy, and every little girls
mother who wrapped up her dreams instead of throwing
them away when she grew up, will miss Lillian Leitzel.
Harlequin. Pierrot, Grimaldi. Pantaloon they are
names that are cherished for they charmed the make
believe world. Lillian Leitzel did the same thing. It was
much too soon for the drums to sound the crescendo with
which she always closed her act-but the trapeze artist
would have been glad that she went on to her next show
straight from the flying bars.

Boats for the Big Muddy
Duluth Herald)

NDQlulu CID
Western North Dakotas dream Of making the upper
Missouri river navigable was recognized by the govern
ment the other day when a federal engineer held q hear
ing in Bismarck. Governor Shafer and others were IN
vited to show the value of the project. and made out as
good a case for it as has been advanced for many
a creek or river In other parts Of the country that has
been improved at government expense, If not a better.
Governor Shafer said that river transportation would
open up a southern market to the producers OF the
state. and pointed to the billions Of tons of Ignite coal
in North Dakota that cheap water freight would make
available to neighboring states on the lower river. The
improvement was also said to be an integral part OF
the proposed Mississippi development program. I'm
pounding the Missouri at its head was held necessary
for flood control.
The Missouri Is one of the great rivers of the world
but its strong cratic currents and the large amount OF
suspended silt it carries has always made 1t trouble
some to control. Flat-bottomed steamers have n~avigated
it for nearly a hundred years and in pioneer days it was
the only means of transportation.
Since the development of the railways. though, It has
met the same fate as all other rivers and its navigation
is not profitable. Perhaps deepening the channel to
permit larger boats will revive it. but it is a question
whether the saving over rail transportation will Justify
the improvement and the heavy cost of maintenance.

Sunday Driving

Driving OIL Sunday usually Is done for pleasure, yet a
report of accidents in this country. as issued by a large
insurance company. reveals the fact that this day ends In
more disaster than any other day of the week.
More automobile accidents resulting in both deaths
and injuries happen upon Sunday than any other day"
this report reads, Notwithstanding the fact that upon
the Sabbath there is less traffic congestion in towns and
cities and fewer pedestrians abroad than on any other
day of the week.
Eighteen out of every 100 motor vehicle accidents
happened upon Sunday" the report goes on, with each
of the next four days showing an average Of around Is
out of every 100 accidents. On Friday there was a pickup
in the number of mishaps, while on Saturday the in
crease was still greater, II out of every 100 accidents oc-
curing on that day."
Sunday, day of rest and Of peace, turns out to be the
most dangerous Of all, when it comes to motoring. Those
who are constant motorists all week will point their
fingers with accusation upon the man who drives only
on Sunday and say there Is the cause for the increase
of accidents, of deaths and injuries from auto mishaps,
on this day.
That, however, is rather doubtful, for analysis of Sun
day accidents will show that a great proportion of them
involve motorists who use their cars all week. Occasion
al drivers, to be sure, cause considerable trouble on the
highways. But the man who is the constant driver Is the
man who takes more chances on the road.
While it is the hesitant, slow and inconsistent driver
who unnerves the more accomplished motorist, it is the
speedy, sure-fire and reckless mar at the wheel who
makes life miserable and dangerous for the careful and
cautious driver.
One is just as bad as the other. Both should remem-
Der and practice the primary rules of caution and safety
in motoring.

Will Start War on Billboards

The city OF Washington. D. c., is going to start an &C
tual war on billboards. There has been a lot Of talk
about abating or abolshing the nuisance. but the ma
tional capital appears to be the first important city OF
the nation that has really started to make a job of it.
There is good reason to believe that the capital city
and the District Of Columbia will keep the promise to
make away with the %billboarGs, for the reason that this
action is part of a general plan to prepare that city and
district for the great bcentennial celebration of George
Washingtons birth. to be held there in 1882. Washington
Is a city of marvellous beauty, and its outlying environs
would be no less beautiful were it not for the countless
advertising signs which mar the landscape and shut out
the view.
A bill providing for removal of roadside billboards in
the District of Columbia just recently passed the U. s.
senate. The house Of representatives was expected to
stamp it with approval. but without waiting for house
action, many prominent advertisers pulled down their
signs. The wave Of public spirit proved sufficiently
strong to sweep across the border, and many public
spirited advertisers and others in Virginia and Maryland
joined in the movement
1t can not be said that the District of Columbia has
ever made itself conspicuous as a leader in progressive
legislation, but if it will now 60 on and clear its OWL
district of billboards before the Washington celebration
next year. it will have placed itself at the head of q
popular movement that many states Of the nation will
be eager to follow.

Business Needs It's Greatest Salesman
MINNEAPOLIS Tribune)

minneapolis Trlbune)
Gilbert I. Hodges of New York, president of the Adj
vertising Federation Of America, put his finger on 4
salient fact when he said in his Minneapolis speech that
the surest way to restore prosperity was for business to
put its greatest salesman back on the job on a full
time basis. The greatest salesman" Is advertising.
Naturally We recognize the element of self-interest IN
this statement, but the fact that there is such a self
interest doesn't detract in the least from the truth OF
the statement. One may have a profitable interest in
the fact that two and two are four, but the multiplica-
ton table is none the less right.
The difference between good times and bad times, con-
sidered from the business viewpoint, is simply the differ
ence in the rate of exchange Of commodities. In good
times commodities are exchanged rapidly and in bad
times they are exchanged slowly. AS the dollar passes
from hand to hand, quickly or slowly, so we have bust
ness prosperity or business depression.
Advertising is the greatest stimulant for increasing the
exchange rate Of goods, otherwise the United States
would not normally be spending a billion dollars a year
on this salesman. According to Mr.. Hodges. when bust
ness took its sharp rebound from the heights after the
stock market crash, business cut its advertising ap-
preparation IS per cent. The incentive to buy was
reduced and buying was reduced. Action followed re-
action until the country hit the bottom. Business began
to realize that In order 70 sell goods it had to have
statesmen. To the extent that Its greatest salesman
was back on the job sales increased.
Mi Curtis. publisher Of the Saturday Evening Posi-
and the Ladies' Home Journal. is spending millions Of
dollars advertising in the daily papers Of the United
States. He recognizes that advertising is the great
restorative Of confidence and that it Is. as Mr.. Hodges
so aptly says, the greatest salesman"
In this connection 1t is well to remember that. while
a certain percentage Of our people are in dire straits. 8
much larger percentage Of them are well OF. Other.
wise how are we to account for the savings bank deposits
tho growth Of life insurance and for the continued pay.
ment Of installment purchase dues? The dollars arr
still in the country but they are passing slowly from
hand to hand Or they are resting from their norma
activity.
MI. Hodges tells m obvious. but z none the less i'm

itself to start the ball rolling. The way to resume Is Il
