Shanghai, Feb ~ (UP)--Jap-
anese airmen and artillery rained
tons OF explosives on three points
along an 18-mile front this after
noon to literally blast an opening
through the Chinese line for waves
of green clad infantry that went
over the top Immediately.
The aerial forces attacked Lion
Forest forts at Paoshan City, the
extreme northern end of the battle
line short distance north of the
Woosung forts.
1t is past these forts that Jap
anese reinforcements are expected
to be transported momentarily to
reinforce the stymied Japanese
forces in the lines.

in pouring shrapnel and bombs on
the Chinese defenders of Tazang, I'm

And the artillery practically
went at alone" in bombarding the
Chinese at Chapel. the end Of the

Knee.Deep in June

Not in many years has North Da.
kota been so contentedly knee-deep in
June from the standpoint of agricul-
tural outlook.
Prices are low, to be sure. Many
things are out of killer and all of us
can suggest ways in which things
might be better, but from the stand
point of outlook for the crop itself
conditions are IDEAL
Mother nature, as though to COM
pensate for our other troubles, is CIV
ing us a demonstration of what she
can do when she tries Abundant
rainfall has filled the sloughs with
water, made the meadows lush with
grass, provided ample feed for stock
and enabled the seeded crops to take

1t never pays to count your chickens
before they are Matched and we have
some time to 60 before harvest, but
that need not prevent us from enjoy
ing conditions of nature as we have
them now to the fullest.
Never, in the memory of the oldest
inhabitant, has this part of the state
been more luxuriously knee-deep in
June.

NEVER WORRY ABOUT A THING
THAT CAN'T HAPPEN

One of the chief causes of the
physic habit is the administration
obsesslon.
Administration means poisoning
of the body by its own eXcretions. 1t
is morbid, depressing theory based
on total ignorance of physiology,
pathology and hygiene. So far as the
layman's experience or observation is
concerned, administration can't
happen, and that's an assertion that
defies contradiction.
Administration may Occur-we are
not certain about this. but it is fair
to assume that it may occur in the
course of certain very grave illnesses.
If or when it does develop as a result
of such grave or fatal illness, no
cathartic, enema or other such meas
ure can be of any avail. Radical
surgical attack is usually the only
remedy that can save the patient in
such a plight.
I am perfectly conscious that some
fine old physicians have stoutly es-
poused the nation of autointoXica-
ton, and that here and there nice
easy-going old-timer still prescribes
remedies or treatments which pur-
port to correct or overcome such self
poisoning. That does not in the least
alter the fact that autointoxication
can't happen except in the last few
hours of some fatal illness and then
it is only an effect of the illness.
Any victim of this morbid obsession
who is sophisticated enough to dis
|criminate between competent and in
competent teachers, between honest
physicians and humbugs, between
scientific health advisers and fad
dists, can readily learn by keeping
tabs on the ideas or teachings Of
these various individuals, that the
autointoXication trick is used almost
exclusively by the wrong uns. And
the crookeder and shadier they are
the more alarming and unpleasant
the picture or suggestion of autoin-
toxication they offer the prospect
they hope to sell the treatment.
1t was physician, Dr. Oliver Wen
dell Holmes, who said it would be bet
ter for the human race and worse for
the fishes if all physic were consigned
Ito the bottom of the sea. "Physic" as
the poet used the term, means all
medicines. Physics, as use the term,
means laXatives. I believe it would
be great boon for the health of the
race if all physics, not only nedici-
nal but these glorified enemas and
colon filling stations, and imported
bird seed and funny food and exc
a lot of nice white mineral oil or par
affin were cast into the sea. Prob

The Soft Pedal

When the current political cam
tpaign opened there was every indi-
cation that opponents of Senator
Gerald P. Nye would bear down
pretty heavily upon the expense &C
count which he incurred during the
investigation into various election
scandals throughout the nation.
! Nye's enemies in the senate, headed
by Senator Moses Of Sons of the
Wild Jackass" fame, placed the de-
tailed account in the congressional
record and for time it looked a lit
tie dubious for the Junior senator. His
opponents in North Dakota tucked
the statement away in their files for
reference in this year Of grace when
they should be seeking Nye's defeat.
But the figures haven't been en-
phasized overmuch and the reason is
quite clear.
In the first place, the public has
given every indication of being IA
yorable to honest elections. The av-
erage voter -escnts having his ballot
taken away from him by unfair
means and he has a feeling that the
trickery and corruption uncovered by
Nye were real, not imaginary. After
the Norris case In Nebraska he came
to the conclusion that the investiga-
ton was peeded and that it probably
was worth the money.
The second reason Is to b found

Good News From 1881

Most of the reports on things that
have happened during the last year
make rather dismal reading. But we
needn't get the idea that all of the
records were worse than those of the
year preceding.
For instance: the National Associ-
alton for the Advancement of Col
ored People reports that during 1881
there we're IA lynchings in the United
States-which compares with Is in
1880.
This is good news, especially when
it is remembered that bad depres-
sion year usually intensifies class and
racial antagonism and makes lynch
ings more likely rather than less. To
make a reduction of nearly so per
cent in the number of lynchings dur
ing a year like 1881 is a real achieve
ment.

Political Inaccuracies

If anyone, by some magic unknown
to us, were to present an entirely fair
and accurate picture Of President
Hoover as a public man, it is i'm
probable that any of us would recog-
nize it.
His friends would cry out in hor-
ror at the injustice such a portrait
would do him and his enemies would
contend that the estimate was wholly
in his favor.
With the Republican convention in
progress, the newspapers are filled
with laudation of the president and
of the party which he represents. The
remark which touched off demon
stration Wednesday was the assertion
that Hoover is "the one man in
America who has furnished leader
ship in this great crisis"
Other statements made by the per-
manent chairman of the convention,
Rep. B. H. Smell of New York, were:
THE people will not strike down the
pilot who keeps eternal vigilance on
the bridge of the ship of state. And
Herbert Hoover has courageously
kept this vigil three years" And
again, THE one man who today
stands head and shoulders above any
leaders among the nations of the
world is the Republican president of
the United States, Herbert Hoover"
It is doubtful, of course, if those
kindly words represent SHELLS true
estimate of the nations chief execu-
tive, thereby Illustrating the differ
ence between private opinion and
public utterance.
SHELLS opinion of the Republican
party is similarly one-sided. His
declaration that the solidarity of
the Republican party in this crisis
means the salvation of the United
States might be open to challenge.
The nation lived considerably more
than half century before the Re-
publican party came into existence
and survived some rather severe
crises during that period.
When the Democrats meet, two
weeks hence, We shall get the other
side OF this picture They will &C.
cuse, charge, lambast and deride I'M
til poor Hoover will look like a scare
crow after bad storm. The Repub-
1ican party will be exposed as twin
brother of the famous gentleman with
cloven hoofs and a spiked tail and as
the sponsors of all public sin and ini-
guilty.
And the public will be treated to
this kind of tripe from both parties
until election time. The one which
gains most credence will get the most
votes. Perhaps, as the politicians
seem to think, it is the one who
claims the most who will do the best.
That remains to be seen.
But good many of us will sicken
just little at the lack of temperate
ness and fair analysis which will ap-
pear on both sides, unless this is a
very unusual campaign, ind d.
Would that accuracy and fair state
ment of facts were not considered a
weakness in political circles.

That wasn't the way the fathers
intended laws to be made.
We are supposed to have represen-
tative government in these United
States. We can send our representa-
tives to Bismarck and they can make
laws for us after studying each pro-
vision, and after the measures are de-
bated. It is harder to put over trick
laws when they go through the legis-
lative hopper in the regular way.
If you vote for some of these pro-
posed new laws you may do yourself
a lot of damage; you may wrong your
own children; you may do damage to
the state it will take years to repair
After the people of the state vote
for some of those measures it will
take a two-thirds majority in the
legislature to change them. Majority
should rule. Why hamstring your
Legislature? Why vote against repre-
sentative government?
You won't make a mistake if you

If new law is needed the next leg
islature can make such a law. But is
our great need more laws?
Just remember last spring at the
presidential primary election. There
were whole flock of new laws pro-
posed including one that would re-
move the state capital to Jamestown.
The people voted mo- on each meas

to be sure to keep the state capital

are some crazy propositions being
placed before the voters at the COM
