A Book a Day
by BRUCE CATION

In ESQ a Leader Came" Fred erick Palmer, the famous war correspondent, suggests that our Constitution is hopelessly out of date and that a complete revision of our governmental structure is imperativcly necessary.
 This book, novel, pictures tne arrival of q dictator who Woud bring things up to date.
 MT palmer's dictator is a young man named Constant Spenser. He is presented as a sort of Lindbergh "a marvelously popular national hero who sets out to reform gov ernment and restore prosperity.
 spenscr runs for president but IS phenagled out of the election by designing politicians. although he gets an enormous majority of the popular vote. So he leads q march on Washington, puts himself in the White House and gets to work. The result? A six-year term for presidents, who are to be figure heads like the presidents or France! q party system like that of England. with executive power vested in the prime minister. who has 6 seat in Congress along with the rest of his cabinet; an electoral system like England's and q new code of laws which ignores most of the old state boundaries and takes the red tape out of govern mcnt.
 In. MT Palmer's novel this leads to prosperity and general happi- ness. As novel, the bok is pret- ty terrible; but as q critique Of American government 1t is high ly interesting. Published by Ray Long ani Richard K. Smith, the book costs 50

It was one hundred and fifty-three years ago yesterday that the young Polish Count Pulaski died as the American brig, Wasp. pulled out to sea. The day, therefore. was declared as one of significance and to be held in memory of great hero. A monu- ment was to have been erected in honor of the young count but somehow it never materialized. This would have been fit- ting tribute to this foreigner who cast his lot with this country in it's early history and decided to assist in its fight for independence. The New York Herald says editorially: Pulaski was, however one of the half dozen foreign volunteers whose swords brought the Revolution to success, and the example of his dash. his military spirit and his ardor for liberty carried on the tradI- ton which ultimately was to bring liberty to Poland He belonged to an age so dif- ferent that it would have been impossible for him to conceive either the Poland or the America of today. but he was one of the architects of both"

Here, There And Euerywhere

state ticket with the exception of the governor was not far from the same figure.
 In view of the hard time. 1t is quite possible that those voting for Thomas for president and McLepvy for governor will number around 10000.
 The socialist vote is generally understood to be drawn more from the democratic party than the re- publican. But this year there promises to be an offset in the in- dependent republican ticket which undoubtedly will draw more re- publican than democratic drys.
 Thus. as the political dopesters have 1t, the loss of one major party may be cancelled by the loss of the other through tho votes obtained by the two minor parties. Which is a case of one mans guess being as good as another's.

charity appeals. A year ago many found it hard to do as much in charitable way as had been their usual custom. This year with the depression just one year older. it is going to be still harder for people to answer the many calls to aid the needy. However.
 it is earnestly urged that one be as gener- ous as possible when he or she is called upon
 to help out in these eonspicuously bad times. It is vitally necessary that the ap- peals for Mutual Aid Clothing drive, the Diocesan Bureau appeal. the Needle Work Guild enterprise. the Red Cross, and many others be given individual attention. Each one should feel it moral obligation to do his or her bit to alleviate the suffering and distress that is bound to be felt this coming winter. <

All SMITH SETS DEMOCRATS GUESSING WITH HIS ADVICE

AL SMITH SETS DEMOCRATS
 GUESSING WITH HIS ADVICE
 TO PURGE THE PARTY.
 Washington-Just who does Al Smith mean when he says there are certain elements and forces of which the democratic party should purge itself?
 Many of AIS admirers don't think he should go cryptic on us. They think he ought to be speci- fic. But since he doesn't specify, all sorts of possibilities suggest themselves.
 Does he, perhaps, mean Tam many? The graft revelations of the last couple of years in New York city might lead one 50 to suspect. And the suspicion might be strengthened by As alliance with Roosevelt to force Tammany to accept the nomination of Her bert If. Lehman for the governor ship of New York.
 Al and the present Tammany leadership have never been very friendly. On the other hand Tam many went down the line for Al at the Chicago convention and sat sullcnly through the end, sticking by Smith to the point of refusing to make the Roosevelt nomination unanimous. Surely Al isn't 'sug- gesting that Tammany be read out of the party. 4Z.
 He might refer to Boss Frank Hngue's organization In New Jcr- sey, which is just as odoriferous, if not as notorious. But Hague was Al's stfongest packer at the 1924, 1928 and 1892 conventions. so that doesn't seem likely, either. Well, maybe it's the reactionary Wall street element in the party, typtfcd by the Honorable John sJ. Raskoh. Lots of democrats. since way back in the early Bryan days. have. felt the party could do better without such plutocrats ns Raskob, Barney Bafuch, Owen D. Young and various others.
 But Raskob and Young are among Smith's very best friends and Young has even written an article for Smiths new magazine. And Al himself has seemed to be getting more conservative rather than more radical.
 Of course quite few guessers think. Al meant the progressive wing in the party, which was largely responsible for the nomi- nation of Roosevelt and for the fact that Smith himself didn't have q chance at Chicago. At the same time Al has said that n democratic victory this year was ina cntlntrv'a hone of salvation, and no one knows better than he how helpful 1t will be to have the progressive. and independent vote.
 In fact. back in 1928 there wasn't a single element or group that Al thought should be kicked out! Of the party. He probably thought afterWard that the south erp Hoovercrats should be elim- inated--and perhaps he thinks

 GIVE ME SUMMER
4 SMILES THE THING"

The leaves are slowly dropping. And it brings pang of pain. We face another winter. Ere the green comes back again. So our thoughts go slowly drifting. To the summer that We spent Meath the canopy of heaven. Where no landlord grabs hli
 rent. There is something in the spaces. Where Ma Nature builds hei
 throne. Something that we greet with
 pleasure.
 Though it's hers and hers alone. Beauty lies in every painting. There is comfort in the air. Where Ma Nature does her
 knitting.
 In the glorious out there. You can rave of fall and winter You can drink a toast to spring, Sound hozannahs to the highest. Till you make the welkin ring As for me there's one grand
 season,
 When all life just seems to
 rhyme. Fishin' from an old flat bottom. Way down Maine in summer
 time.

Wasn't it the good old stuff" that
made the drunkards? If we had the
cars that we got now and the saloons
We used to have, we surely would be
in nice mixup.
Just think Of the poor dumb ami
mails that used to stand tied up to
hitching post until II or IL o'clock
at night and the poor family at home
looking for drunkard to drop In on
them most any hour of the night.
I wonder, Mr.. Commes. what has be-
come OF the inebriate asylums. I
don't hear any more about them.
And about our bootleggers we have
now, II every good citizen would try
to help our sheriff to enforce the
law and stop buying their dope, We
would soon get done with them. Just
try that once and see how 1t works.
We send politicians down to Wash
ington. They hold up their hands
when they take the oath that they
will uphold the constitution, and
they are the first ones to try to
break 1t. # had anything to do
with the law I would have it so they
would get one year instead of 80 days
for first offenses and take their citi-
zenship away from them, as notice
the most Of them we catch here are
foreigners who hold up their hands
to uphold the laws Of the U. S. when
they take out their papers.
Prohibition is here to stay and Mr.
Commes might just as we'll forget
about it. Here's for prohibition, as

method whereby no one will lack in

method whereby no one will lack in
happiness and contentment.
Living in machine age which has
created instrumentalitieS which In
turn have brought about an industrial
revolution we may search the horizon
beyond in order to discover the real
fruits derived therefrom and come to
the conclusion that the entire world
must undergo process of transform
alton so that nothing of value will be
cast on the rubbish heap.
If it could be arranged that public
meetings be held and that each and
every man permitted to express his
candid opinion, it would go long way
to overcome and to possibly remedy
the present difficult situation. BY
united action plans could be formu-
lated of great value to the community
and to the state. So long as factional
interests, by their deliberate false
propaganda, go out to deceive those OF
the public who have not been able to
post themselves as to true conditions
and the proper methods whereby they
can receive adequate justice, one can
not expect anything but a continual
enslavement by the capitalistic ma
chinations of the few.
The time has come when all the
people must wake up and exercise
their right by an intelligent ballot
otherwise the time will come when
we shall be forced into bloody revo-
luton similar to that in France in
1874
The historian asks For better or for
worse?" and it seems to be for the
philosopher to answer. All We can
say is that history has always re-
heated itself and 1t will do so now.

March 9, 1892.
Editor. Tribune:
On the whole the capital removal
proposition is not taken seriously, it
appearing to be the general feeling
that the probability of any change
being made insofar as the results of
the coming election is concerned is SO
remote that there is no cause what
ever to be alarmed.
The time for such move could
hardly have been more inopportune
since statehood, now that serious ef-
forts are being made in all parts Of
the state for reduction Of taxes and
curtailments Of expenditures In every
state governmental department. It
would seem contrary to all common
sense judgment to at this time. or
any other time TOR that matter, to
change the seat Of government of this
state and thus practically imposing
upon the taxpayers Of the state the
abandonment Of the large amount Of
property the state owns in Bismarck,
| which in value almost equals the
ccstN Of the new capitol building.
