Extend the Lawn Rate

A local citizen with the beauty of
his city at heart suggests that the
lawn rate be extended by the city wa
ter department through october be-
cause OF the long dry spell which we
have endured during the late summer.
The step is one which should earn
additional money for the city and ma
terially assist in the solution of a
real civic problem. 1t should be con-
sidered by the city commission, in
special session if necessary, and ap-
propriate action taken.
Bismarck has become widely known
throughout the state as a beautiful
city and most visitors here comment
ON the splendid manner in which the
average Bismarck citizen takes care
of his home and surrounding grounds.
There can be- no better recommended
ton for a city or the people who live
in it than this. It makes us all proud.
But the drought of recent months
has made it difficult for many citi-
zens to use the water necessary in
keeping their places in that condi-
ton of green loveliness which we all
admire. 1t has been hard enough, in
view of current conditions, to meet
the water bills contracted under the
lawn rate.
If it is necessary to use any large
amount of water after the lawn rate
expires the burden will be just that
much harder to bear and many will
fail to meet 1t at all.
The result easily may be ruined
lawns, winter-killed trees and shrubs
and the general deterioration of grow
ing things in Bismarck yards. Failure
to act in this case might do much to
detract from Bismark's beauty next
year and in the years to come.
In many cases the growing things
around home represent a substan-
tial investment. The householder
should be enabled to protect his ex-
penditure of time and money at the
least possible cost.
The increased volume of business
should benefit the water department
financially. There seems no good rea-
son why the suggestion should not be
adopted-and at once. The lawn rate
should be extended until the fall rains
set in.

They Needn't Worry

Some partisanS of Governor Frank
lin D. Roosevelt have become aroused
at what they term a whispering cam
paign regarding the governors health.
The Republicans, We are told by them,
are passing the word that the Demo-
cratic candidate would not last out
one term in the white house if he
were elected because of difficulty with
his legs.
1t is no secret that Governor Roo
sevelt was stricken with infantile par
alysis in 1921 and was incapacitated
for several years. Proper treatment
and an indomitable will, however, so
restored the use of his legs that he
could return to public life as governor
of New York four years ago without
impairment to his efficiency. He still
wears steel braces on his legs and
needs the aid of an attendant to stand
up or sit down.
Once on his feet, however, he walks
without difficulty. His health, in all
other respects is excellent, physicians
testifying that he is IAN athlete above
the waist
These facts are so we'll known it is
inconceivable that the Republicans
would see fit to emphasize them, even
by whispering.
Another factor is the admiration
which many persons have for Roose-
velt's successful fight against mall
| ady which might have ruined the life
OF one less courageous. To call at
tention to Roosevelt's handicap is to
call attention to the mans courage.
To direct public criticism to his legs
is to hint rather strongly that the
Republicans are placing the presi-
dency on par with a Hollywood
beauty contest.
II legs were all-important in a race
for the presidency both candidates
would be lost in the ruck of many
ADLER contestants.
1t takes only horse sense to know
that the people of this nation are
more interested in a candidates con-
dition above the waist than below it.
The location might be still more re-
stricted to the area between the ears
and that rather important part of
the body known as the backbone.
The Democrats must be mistaken.
It is improbable that any Republican
who is really interested in the reelec-
ton of Hoover would lay himself open
to the obvious retorts which an at
tack on Roosevelt's legs undoubtedly
would merit-and receive.

A Significant Item

Little things frequently lead to i'm
portant results and such may be the
case with an apparently insignificant
item printed Monday under a small
heading.
The dispatch in question was one
from Manila stating that Chinese
merchants in the Philippines had de-
cided to boycott japanese goods, ap-
parently as result of the difficult
ties between their mother country
and Japan.
The Importance of the development
lies in the fact that, since the Chi
nese control most of the business en-
terprises in the Philippines, and the
Philippines are controlled by the
United States, We soon may be the
target for additional evidences Of Nip
ponese wrath.
Beyond question the action of the
Chinese under the American flag will
produce serious consequences in ia
pan. The island empire has done a
flourishing business with the Philip
pines in the past and this trade will
be materially handicapped by the
boycott action.
1T was just such situation which
prompted Japan to send war ships
and troops to Shanghai not many
months ago. This resulted in the
battles around that city which so dis
credited the Japanese nation before
the civilized world.
The development comes at time
when the relations between Japan and
tie United States are not in shape to
Withstand severe strain. The mill
taristic press has been frothing at the
mouth recently because the National
CITY Bank Of New York took some

For how can one put trust in this

gold is greater than his fear of the

In the talk neither Jito nor Ted
took part, but stood on either side
of the table, looking silently down.
Once Jito's glance fell on the young
American, and he seemed again to
be gauging him as an antagonist not
unworthy of ones best skill. Again
came to Ted that sense Of inevitable
conflict-of coming time when
these two would come face to face

SYNOPSIS

For years, Pace Morales ruled the
poems in Mexico with an iron hand,
con6scating their lands and driving
them from their homes, but the crisis
has come. eel Coyote" the mys-
ferrous bandit, avenges every out
rage perpetrated by Morales. The
ranchers await their unknown pro-
tector's word to revolt. Morales,
with the aid of the u. S. Cavalry
under Major Blount, has searched
for the bandit in vain. Ted Rad
cliffe, an American whose late father
was ruined by Morales, is in love
with Adela, the Spaniard's beautiful
niece. Tito, Morales ward, is jealous
of Ted. Bob Hardness, Ted's friend,
tells him he has plans for settling
the score with Morales. While out
riding, Ted and Adela lose their way
and spend the night in the desert.
Adela resents her uncle's suspicious.
Later, Bob returns home with Ted
and learns that some of his cattle
were stolen. He doubts that "El
Coyote" is responsible. At Men
doza's, notorious resort, Bob leaves
Ted and goes upstairs to visit Ann
Reed, an entertainer. Bob is Eel
Coyote. and Ann his spy. She is
deeply in love with him. AS autumn
comes, eel Coyote" makes ready to
overthrow Morales. When Ted no.
tees Bob's stolen cattle among Jito's
herd, the latter explains he just
found them and intended returning
them. Major Blount invites Boil
and Ted to his headquarters to learr
the identity of Eel Coyote" Bob il

present. Antonio Ortega, the in
former, one of Eel Coyotes" lieu
tenants, is expected rnomentarily.
