would leave her. When Joan shrank
from the queer, well-dressed men
with thick necks, and sagging jowls
who sat in corners and leered while
wives or cousins or nieces or wards
bought dresses, Francine was right
there with q reassuring nod. "Don't
pay any attention-silly! They
won't hurt you"
"But they look at me So"
Nonsense, Joan-dont be silly.
You're such child!
It was q strange, new world that
was. unfolding before Joan's sadly
disillusioned eyes. A cruel world.
q rotten world, world that she had
never dreamed existed when she
lived in the clean. salty air across
the bay.
"You're Just growing up-getting
on to things, that's ALL" Francine
said, reading her mind.
And because Bill had failed her,
and all her old dreams and hopes
were swept away she thought Fran
cine must be right.

THE TARIFF AND THE RHEU.
MATTE

From recent reverberationS IT ap-
pears the tariff Is as lively q quad
rennial issue as it was in the days Of
Cleveland and Mckinley, tho more
complicated by nationwide hook-up
than It was when the orators ad-
dressed throngs OF from $50 to 600
men, many with torches.
But the rheumatic Is different.
Doesn't matter where you live, what
your interest nor whether the climate
or weather is good, bad or indiffer-
cnt. I am happy to announce that
there Is no more rheumatiz In North
America. =
I do not assume the sole credit for
this, altho 1t is q matter Of record
that have been fighting for years to
rid the country Of this incubus. Other
members Of the party have freely con-
,ributed their assistance, and even
some of the patriotic and enlightened
leaders Of the standpatters have
helped us in the great work.
In the hour of our triumph we can
offer our sympathy to the old fogies
who are left crippled in diagnostic
resource. It must be hard for them
TO string their credulous patients
along now that the rheumatic Is no
more.
without equivocating we may say
that the only occasion for suggesting
that a patient has some form OF
rheumatism" is when the doctor
doesn't know just what ais the pa
tient. That's the simple truth. and
you can't find any physician OF
standing vino will venture to deny It.
Not that the doctor knows any
more about the nature. cause or cure
If your trouble when he calls It
"arthritis" instead Of rheumatism"
tho the term arthritis means some
thing definite - joint inflammation.
The term rheumatism means nothing
at all today: long ago It meant ca
tarrh, q flow. The ancients prob
ably laid 1t to the weather.
| Only veritable quacks, within or
without regular medical ranks. have
the temerity to ascribe acute athrt-
lis In children or adults to dampness
or cold. nowadays. And even they
prefer to do it indirectly or annoy
lnously or without assuming any per-
sonal responsibility for the notion
themselves.
There is no dissenting medical
opinion at present In respect to the
infectious character Of acute arthri-
It's. That is now q well understood
pathological condition.
4 When it comes to the consideration
Of chronic arthritis. frankly we are
|still at sea as to the cause and ma
ture Of some cases, tho there Is nc
longer any question that In most easel
the pathological process Is local In
Lection.
I The kind Of chronic arthritis that
we do not yet understand clearly Il
called metabolic arthritis. atrophie
arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, arthri-
It's deformans. etc. Fortunately lesl
than one-tenth Of all cases Of joint
disease are Of this class.
The two facts hope to impress
upon the readers mind are, first
there is no disease entity or condition
definable or recognizable o. "rheu.
natism." and second, there Is N
, semitic evidence that exposure Il
, cold o. dampness has anything to ds
with any known Joint disease.

Retention Is Cool


Governor Langer's embargo on wheat
shipments will be short-lived.
Even as he prepared hts message to
the governors OF spring wheat states
late Tuesday, word came over the press
wires that two Of them, Governor
Berry OF South Dakota and Governor
Herring Of Iowa, had definitely re-
jected the idea OF applying the en-
barge to their own states.
Governor G. w. Bryan Of Nebraska
was silent, but the attorney general
Of that state rather ridiculed the idea
and Governor Olson Of Minnesota,
while praHing the gesture, confined
his promise OF action to lip-service.
This left the governors Of Mon
tana and Kansas still to be heard
from. There seems little reason to
believe they will be any more enthu-
siastic than their fellows In office.
Should that prove to be true, North
Dakota will be left to fight the en-
barge battle alone, probably to stew
in It's own juice.
Political comment in Bismarck was
notioeably cautious and varied, but
one observer. credited with more than
ordinary acumen In the past, re-
marked that q court action probably
would save Governor LANCER from
what might become q severe trap. II
no one takes the trouble to start a
suit, he observed, the governor soon
may be inducing someone to start
one. The idea back Of this is that
farm folk are by nature independent
and will not relish interference with
their desire to conduct their own
business.
It is not surprising that the idea
has received kind of support from
many persons. In the terms of the
embargo proclamation. prices Of farm
products are Internationally low
and the effects of farm aid measures
have not been as quickly apparent as
those OF the MIRA. which have been
on the whole. adverse to the farmer.
As it is. the only opposition to the
embargo is based on the theories that
it Is unconstitutional and futile.
A good many persons are opposed
to unconstitutional acts on the theory
that 1t is bad business to violate the
fundamental law Of either the state
or the nation. Behind this idea il
the thought that constitutional vio-
lations. once condoned. may become
50 extensive that the most sacred
rights OF person and property will be
endangered.
Those who believe and fear the
gesture is futile one, base their po-
sition on knowledge of the fact that
the bread-consuming public will b
able to outlast the North Dakota citi.
zen if 1t becomes Z contest. There
are some 100000 bushels Of whea,
in elevators at the Head Of the Lake!
and considerably more in Minneapo'
lis. In addition. there is always thu
system OF milling in bond whea
from Canada. which has served t.
keep down the price Of homegrown
spring wheat in the past.
No one will argue with the COVER
nor's statement that these few north
western states raise special kind o
wheat which should command . pre-
MUM for bread-making purposes
This has long been accepted here a
fact. But it will be hard to con
vince many persons that an embarg
will be effective In obtaining it.

back stronger than ever with
the return of prosperity. AS
we continue to return to nor
malcy the demand for cars will
increase accordingly. And the
happy day cannot arrive any
too quickly for DetroiterS.
Unassuming Mature
AS mayor of the city, Frank
Murphy had problems galore
on his hands. A devoted friend
OF the poor and termed a semi
radical by many, his plans en-
countered plenty of opposition
at every turn from many of
the wealthy. That type of op-
position, combined with a de-
preston that was growing
worse and worse, made the
mayors job a ceaseless strug-
gle. And the fact that he now
emergeS as one of the nations
greatest men is an everlasting
tribute to his courage and
spirit.
I've never known a man in
political life to be quite as un-
assuming as Frank. His car
carries no official insignia and,
while there is a siren attach
ment for an emergency, it is
never used. Drive with him
through traffic and he gives
other machines the right of
way. It's his nature.
The man has never made
dime out of his job, and even
his enemies will admit that fact
readily. He is a bachelor and
enjoys a good time, yet he
doesn't smoke or drink-nor
has he ever seen the inside of
Detroit night club. In spite
OF his position, he has always
occupied the same modest home
in Detroit at g monthly rental
of $35. He would accept but
SIS a day to be the towns
mayor and turned the rest back
to the city.
Accordingly, you can we'll i'm
agine that the man is broke.
He couldn't be otherWiSe-and
he wouldn't be happy if he
were otherwise. Because Frank
Murphy is the strangest of all
political figures. He believes
in helping others instead of
helping himself. No wonder
the regulation politicians shake
their heads sadly and say the
man is crazy!
Frank Murphy has taken a
huge task upon his shoulders.

Columbia Players
Give Nidnisht'

A character study of a middle
class family and a rather radical
denunciation of capital punish
ment is the basis of Midnight" 2"
by Claire and Paul Sifton, which
the Columbia Players presented
Saturday night before an invited
audience at Wardman Park Thea
ter.
The first act, which incidentally
was very slow, shows a household,
the father of which has just
served on a jury which sentenced
a girl to the electric chair. They
are all bounded by reporters and
curiosity seekers, are very much
over-wrought, and flare up at any
moment, making the entire affair
very disagreeable.
In the second Stanza, which was
q distinct improvement over the
preceding one, the older daugh-
ter's married life is aired, the
younger daughter is seen as the
sweetheart of an unfaithful gang
ster, and the act is climaxed by
her announcement that she has
killed her lover. Politics enter in
and straighten up matters, while
the authors deliver a stern rebuke
at StateSmen's methods.
The players did we'll in almost
every instance, and the dullness
of the opening scenes seemed due
to the play itself, rather than the
actors. Dorothea Lewis por-
trayal of the daughter-murderesS
was exceptional.
