Injured Innocence
VALLEY City Times ecord)

(Vauey City IIm6S-RecOrd)
Members of the legisature-Some of them-pretend
to be very much exercised over the fact that the Bis
marck Tribune or some other paper suggested in it's
for political trading or something of that sort. Well,
hasn't it? To those on the outside it would look that
way. When people see how ~leaguers and some indepen-
dents vote, and hear some of them express themselves
to the fact that they favor Bismarck and then vote
against the emergency clause of the bill to delay the
matter several months or at least delay the matter until
some sort of log rolling can be done-if they want
to do it.
And when we see the tears of righteous indignation
makes us smile. We would expect the Stutsman county
fellows to vote against the emergency clause. They are
fighting to beat the band to get the capitol away from
Bismarck and if it can be done by them-weH we won't
say what we think, anyway that Bismarck paper should
have been a little more careful what it says about these
legislators-or the writer of the Bismarck story may
have to go before the house and tell EN- how he got
that way.
It kind of amuses one to see L. L. TWicheu, leader Of
the independent forces, act. He very smiTkly tells the
offended Stutsman county legislators, who say that they
the newspaper man could be brought before the bar of
the house. Which bar is he talking about? We sup
pose L. L. is remembering the palmy days of the league
regime when every person IN the state who did not agree
with the league leaders was hauled up to Bismarck be-
fore the senate and grilled by a committee that was
absolutely fixed one way regardless of the truth. It IS
easy for a legislative body Or committee to exercise its
authority when they claim injured innocence but it is
much harder to convince the public at large.
The writer was one of the unterrified who was hauled
up before that notorious senate committee of long ago
state. This Is q great nfe-the first hundred years, any,
how.

Restoring Freedom of the Press
(St. Paul

tSG. Paul DSpaJcn)
Termination of the troubled life of the Minnesota
newspaper gag law now only awaits approval by the Min
nesota Senate of the repeal measure which has success
fully passed the House. The promptness with which the
House proceeded to the notification of the suppression
act, despite the many other urgent matters before it, in
dicates the Importance to which the gag law issue has
been raised.
Not the fate of the two publications against which the
law has been employed, but the broad principle of the
rights of a free press has inspired the struggle in the
House and will be the issue in the Senate. Since the
passage of the gag law increasing numbers of law max
es have come to realize that in their efforts to eradicate
a specific nuisance they placed upon the statute books a
law with immense possibilities for abuse. Events of the
years since passage have indicated that those who are
libelled by malicious and defamatory publications may
gain restitution without a law so stringent as to imperil
all newspapers in exercise Of their constitutional rights.
The high standards of the Minnesota press make it
unnecessary in this, of all states, to place any limitations
upon the liberty to publish and comment on events.
Abuse of the power of the press has been infrequent in
Minnesota and the evils that have followed therefrom
far %outweighed by the benefits derived through the un-
restricted exercise of this right by the newspapers of
the state. The vote of the House is an expression of
confidence in the publications of Minnesota that should
be seconded speedily in the Senate by the passage Of the
Lommen repeal bill.

A Good Move

President Hoovers action in moving to substitute a
civilian government for the existing naval government in
the Virgin Islands ought to meet with wide approval. 1t
is not criticizing the American navy in the least to say
that such island possessions should be given civilian gov
eminent wherever possible. Governing such lands calls
for economic and social abilities that the navy, in the
nature of things, cannot exercise.
The Virgin Islands became American property by pur-
chase in 1917. and were expected to become an important
naval base-for which reason they were Put in the navy's
charge. For a long time, however, it has been obvious
that the navy does not propose to establish a base there,
and the change to civilian rule has become advisable.
In DR.. Paul M. Pearson of Swarthmore, President
Hoover seems to have found a good man for the job of
governor. The new administration probably will find
solutions for many of the islanders most pressing prob
lens.

d Is the
Anniversary Of
ATTACK ON LANCASTER


On Feb. 10, 1876, one of the bloodiest
assaults of King Philips war took
place when Philip, in company with
his allies, the Nipmucks, attacked
Lancaster. Mass.
Fiske, the historian, wildly describes
the assault:
ION the 10th of that month, at SUM-
rise, the Indians came swarming into
the lovely village. Danger had already
been apprehended, the pastor, Joseph
Rowlandson, the only Harvard gradu-
ate of 1852, had gone to Boston to So
licit aid, and Captain Wadsworth's
company was making its way from
Marlborough, but the Indians were be-
forehand.
Several houses were at once sur
rounded and set on fire, and men,
women and children began falling
under the tomahawk. The minister's
house was large and strongly built,
and more than 40 people found shelter
there until at length it took fire and
they were driven out by the flames.
Only n escaped, a dozen or more
were slain, and the rest, chiefly women
and children taken captive. . :"
At the end of the month the In
dians followed this assault with a
shocking massacre at Medfield and
made murderous assaults on several
other western Massachusetts towns.

The Dairy Industry Appraised
Minneapolis Tribune,

IMIINedpOIS 1TlOUne1
In one of it's current publications the New York Trust
Company offers an interesting appraisal of the dairy in
dustry and it's future. 1t is couched in the terms of cold
business analysis. 1t predicts increasing consumption
or dairy products, an era of machine milked cows and
steady improvement in the standards and methods of
production.
Figures produced show that sale of dairy products
yields annually three billions of dollars, or about a fourth
OF the total agricultural income of the nation. This is
three times the total value of the wheat crop and two
and a half times the annual value of the cotton crop.
1t is also shown that except for a temporary halt, due
to abnormal conditions of the past few months, there has
been a steadily increasing demand for dairy products.
In the 10-year period from 1918 to 1923. per capita
consumption Of milk increased from 43 to 566 gallons
a year. At the same time butter consumption increased
from IA to 1874 pounds, cheese from 3 to All pounds,
and ice cream from 2O7 to 29O gallons.

Butler Is Excused

General Smedley D. Butler admits that he has been
indiscreet and the Navy department., after scolding him
severely, calls off the court martial at which i it was in
tended to find out just what the Fighting Marine did
say and whether it constituted cause for melting out more
severe discipline.
The general is silent now, a ckastened but probably
take back" what he said about Signor Mussolini. He
admitted, humbly enough, that he had said something
which might better be left unsaid, but as for the truth of
the remarks-wel, that was a different matter and the
Navy department. appears quite discreet in not going into
it. After all, the point was not the truth or falsity of
the statements made but the fact that the Duces feelings
were hurt and amicable international relations were en-
dangered.
The statement, we recall, is that Mussoliniis automo-
bile ran down a child and failed to stop, the Duce re-
marking to an American companion What is one life
i'll the progress Of a state or some remark equally we'll
calculated to convey Mussoinis conception of his own
Importance.
An insignificant news item bearing on the case may
give us a clue as to why the Butler court martial was
dropped. It contained a statement by one of the
Vanderbilts that, in case they stepped on Buffers toes
too hard, he would have something to say.
It seems a not illogical deduction that Mr.. Vanderbilt
may have been the man who is claimed to have been
riding with Mussolini when the incident occurred and
that he knew too much for the whole matter to become
public.
It is one thing for The Duce to be insulted and to re-
ceive an apology from our government. 1t is another
thing to have the facts dragged out for everyone to see
and with the possibility that the dictator Of a great
nation might be convicted in the court {" public opinion.

1t PAYS to Keep Awake

Charles Barber, a truck driver, is as scared of slumber
parties now as Hamlet, about whom Shakespeare wrote
a play, ever was. Hamlet, you'll recall, was afraid that
he might dream. Barber is afraid that he might snore.
And the series of nasal utterances that he gave at a
New York movie the other afternoon cost him 50. He
wouldn't leave the show SO he was arrested and fined.
Perhaps it is one of the most harmless arrests in his
tory. But it disturbed the peace. Patrons of the thea
tire couldn't hear the stage voices. If you can't sleep
quietly, stay at home. This seems to be the moral of
this bedtime story.

h Measure of a Man

Edgar Lee Masters. the Spoon River Anthologist,
chooses the season when the nation honors Abraham
Lincoln's birthday to break into print with a new book on
the Great Emancipator.
Only Mr.. Masters doesn't call him the Great Eman-
cipator." In accordance with what seems to be the
spirit Of our time when dealing with biography, he pre-
sents an entirely new and different picture of Honest
Abe"
He would have us believe that Lincoln was a venal
man, cold, u%nsociable, cunning and a political trickster.
In fact, his new book presents a Lincoln as different
from the Lincoln whom we have heard eulogized so often
as it is possible to be. And it comes with something of a
shock, for we Americans love our national heroes.
It is no SANDER on the memory of a truly great man
to say that there may be some truth in MI. Masters
book. The author comes from the %Sangamon valley Of
Illinois which Lincoln made famous, and he doubtless is
able to authenticate some of his points. He has done with
Lincoln what Rupert Hughes did with Washington.
The truth of the matter probably is that neither the
Pollyanna school OF biography nor the throw the dirt"
school is correct and that a true picture of our great
men lies somewhere between what each school presents.
The Pollyannaists present Lincoln in a role which no
mere human could carry. no matter what his genius. He
is pictured to us as a man without fault, the great cham
pion of the commo people, a wonderful mentality, a gi-
gantic heart, the embodiment of all virtues, real or
fancied.
It is absurd, of course. when we stop to think about it.
No man. not even Lincoln, could live up to the tradition
which years OF competition among the eulogists have
built up for us. Lincoln, were he to return to life today.
would be first to discount the extravagant things which
have been said Of him.
But Mr.. Masters, probably, is even more wrong than
the lads who write with bated breath and slushy pen.
Whatever petty instances his undertaking may develop,
Lincoln stands out as the savior of the nation in the time
Of its greatest peril He is the man who freed a race
from slavery. He presents to us in his writings one Of
the great stylists Of the English language. one Of the
great minds Of all time.
And it was no mean and petty man who wrote the
Gettysburg address, no political trickster who insisted
that, once the South was beaten In the Civil War, it
slculd be. treated with consideration.
Maybe Lincoln did, at some time and in some circunn-
stances during his lifetime. do things Of which he was

ashamed. That is q privilege which God grants to every
man as an instrument to induce humbleness of spirit.
It is only those who have within themselves the elements
of greatness who take advantage of it.
The true measure Of a man is found in the way in
which he reacts to his responsibilities. Biologists of Lin
coin have nothing for which to apologize on that score.
The mans record speaks for itself. No one can add to it,
no matter how enthusiastic their praise.
No one can detract from it, including MI. Masters
and a million other mud-sHngers, if there be that many
in the world.

MANY KINDS OF HEADACHES

The brain, being a very sensitive
organ, is easily affected by changes
in either the purity or the volume OF
blood. There is no doubt but that the
majority of headaches are caused by
an unbalanced supply of blood to the
brain or by irritating toxins in the
blood. The real cause is not usually
located in the head, but may be To-
Gated in some other organ, such as the
liver, bladder, teeth, intestines, etc.
AS a rule, the location of the ache
may give us some clue as to the cause.
The ache just over or back Of the
eyes may lei that the colon is over
loaded, or it may mean eyestrain or
sinus trouble. An ache in the back Of
the head may mean a congested utter
us or prostate. An ache on the top
Of the head very often means blad-
der irritation. A one-sided ache over
the eye or in the cheek bone may
mean abscessed teeth or an infected
sinus or antrum. Aches over the tenn
pies often indicate flatulence. Peri
odic headaches on side of the
head often indicate liver congestion.
Pounding in the ears may indicate
high blood pressure. OF course, one
cannot determine from symptoms
alone just where the cause lies, but I
want to point out in this article that
one should search for the cause more
deeply than the symptoms might
sometimes indicate.
The reason that so many people
have headaches is that there are so
many conditions which start them.
Among these are: sitting in a hot
room too long, getting too tired or
WORKOUT shopping, stuffy air, getting
angry, skipping a meal, disseminating
coffee suddenly, nervous excitement,
biliousness, constipation. kidney trou-
BILE, diabetes, acidosis, excessive stom-
ach acidity, anemia, high or low blood
pressure, colds, influenza, tonsilitis,
gas, sinus troubles, too much alcohol
which brings on the morning after
headache, prolapsus, goitre, pituitary
compression, e~yestrain, and various in
fective diseases producing a poisoning
of the system. The main cause of all
headaches, however, is toxemia or a
toxic condition of the body. This is
especially true if one bars headaches
due to accident. Once the underlying
toxemia has been removed, headaches
usually disappear quickly.
Nearly all headaches can be cured
or relieved by taking an enema, then
a hot foot bath, and lying down in a
darkened room for a few minutes with
a cold compress over the forehead
and back of the neck. It is also a
good plan to take a fruit fast for a
few days if you are habitually trou-
bled with aching in your head.
