Here, again, he proved that he no
longer sees eye to eye with the North

His plea of come all yc faithful
made to the erstwhile Republicans
of North Dakota, carried poor illu-
stration with it. For example he as
serted that the senior La Toilette
always worked from within the Re-
publican party, ignoring that distin-
guished gentleman departure from
the paths of political rcctitude in
1924.
All these things, apparently, are
the result of three years in official
position at Washington. They arc
clear evidence OF the ''softening'
process. Perhaps the man who re-
mains at home, fighting his own bat
ties, gains something after all. At
least he escapes the ravages of what
appears to be a devastating thing.

THE ODOR OF LOVE AND THE
DOOR OF ANGER

A publisher tells me that for sew
eral years he has held the theory
that body odor is really what is
commonly called love" He thinks
the odor, the individual odor that
emanates from every human body
in some cases happens to attract and
IN other cases rather to repel. He
says cleanliness has nothing to do
with it. The individual body Odor
is present following a bath just as it
is before, either to attract or repel.
If it happens to attract one of the
opposite sex, that's love.
While your are tchk-tchking at
that, the publisher goes on to re-
mark on the peculiar body odor he
has noticed following anger, which.
he says, is altogether different from
the body odor when one feels right
with the world
The publisher is moved to tell me
about his theory because an article
of mine tends to support it. At least
contend every individual has his
own body odor.
The ofactory sense of civilized
man is poorly developed, but that of
the savage is more cultivated. I
fancy few readers will be able to
corrobroate or refute the assertion
that anger changes ones odor. If
the emotion of anger can influence
body odor, then it is not incon-
ceiyable that the emotion of love
may influence it, too. The odor of
those we love seems better than it is,
perhaps. Didn't Solomon comment
about that?
Turning from pleasant to awful
odor, take a case of bromidroSis OF

your family has bromidrosis it is not

Only Human

Fred Mclean, state Democratic
chairman, hops into the headlines
with. declaration that the Non
partisanS and I. v. AS have signed a
secret truce and are going down the
line for President Hoover in an ef-
fort to hold the federal patronage.
Such a thing is, of course, difficult
to prove, since none of the men who
might be party to such deal would
admit it, but the circumstances are
such that the arrangement would
only be the human and natural
thing to do.
The people have been told for
many years that public officeholders
loved the voters SO much they would
do anything for their welfare-except
sever their connection with the pay
roll.
Principle or pelf are frequent alter
natives in politics and the cases in
which principle prevails have been
few enough at best.
Consider the case of the men hold
ing political appointments on the
federal payroll. Continuance in their
jobs depends upon the success of the
party which appointed them to Of
flee. No matter what they may think
of the party or its leaders in their
Utmost hearts, no matter how they
may have condemned and fought
against such party leaders in the
past, the fact that their jobs depend
upon party success is unacceptable.
For Mr.. Mclean to expect these
gentlemen to do anything except
fight for their continuance in office
seems a little bit naive. 1t just wasn't
in the cards that they would do any
thing else. After all, they are only
human.
But how effective these frantic ef-
forts on the part of the jobholders
will be is question. For the people
are human, too. They have their own
troubles and may not have any SYM
pathy to waste this year upon what
used to be called the pie counter
brigade" In fact it will be surpris-
ing if they do.

Subsidized Barbarity
Chicago Tribune)

What life is like in a Florida pri-
son camp has been told in detail by
number Of prisoners who have
testified in the murder trial of two
former camp officials. The testi-
mony may have exaggerated the in
humanities considerably and still
there is little room to doubt that a
convict labor gang is subjected to
brutalitieS which enlightened COM
munitieS have not permitted for
century and more.
Some of these convict labor gangs
in the deep south are employed in
road construction. The United States
government contributes part of the
cost of the roads upon which the
convicts are employed. Plainly the
time has come when the representa-
tiveS in congress of the more en-
lightened states must insist that none
Of the federal road subsidy is to be
given to states which will spend it
IN the promotion Of prison gang bar
bartties.
Road subsidies from the federal
government have little justification
at best. They take the money OF the
taxpayers In the more civilized states
ana spend it for local benefits in
backward communities. This inIus-
tice is bad enough at best; when to
1t Is added the fact that the money
parceled out is devoted to the fur
therance OF savagery any justifica-
ton the subsidies may have had In
theory disappears.
When Florida puts convicts to
work building and maintaining her
roads the state saves a considerable
part Of tho ordinary cost OF q high
way system. Her roads are cheap

Ndy.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Electric Welding

Husband electric welder. Wears
leather hood and gloves, but intense
light penetrates his shirt and under

is healthy. Would it be better for
him to wear some kind of protector

crouched low along the wall until
he reached the gates. Here ali was
quiet. The fighting had drawn Mo-
rales's men to the other side of the
hacienda. Bob slipped a full clip of
cartridges into his automatic. He
remembered the great. rusty lock on
the gate-a shot would shatter it,

up their position the gates would be

delay the tide of battle was turning
