Bell is PenQlixed
For Elevator Stand
Manager Of State Enterprise
Gets No Pay Because Spen-
Ger Writes Checks
LANCER VETO UPH0LDS ACT
cronna and HUSKY Unable to
Force Change or Force
Payment of Supporter

G. A. Bell isn't getting any salary
Just now as manager Of the state
owned elevator at Grand Forks be-
cause o. L. Spencer, mill manager and
director Of the whole enterprise, will
not sign check for the amount due.
This was disclosed Tuesday as an
aftermath of the recent veto by Gov
ernor William LANCER of a proposal
to remove Spencer and some other
friends Of the governor from the
state mill payroll.
Backing the custer effort were At
torney General A. j. Gronna and
Commissioner Of Agriculture John
HUSKY, who became minority" men,
bers Of the state industrial commits
sion when the governor was given the
veto power by the last legislature.
Gronna and HUSKY want Bell re-
tanned as manager Of the elevator but
they cannot compel Spencer to pay
him without the backing Of the gov
ernor. The governor, by use OF the
veto, backs Spencer but Bell has stay
ed on the Job at the request Of the
minority" members Of the industrial
commission who hope the governor
will change his mind about retaining
Spencer as general manager of the
mill and elevator.
Federal Man Raised Issue
The quarrel between Bell and Spen-
Ger has been brewing for long time
It was brought to head last Novem-
Ter when r. 8. Yohe, in charge Of the
administration of the United States
warehouse act checked up the eleva-
tor and found that the account with
the Red Cross for milling and crack
ing wheat had been closed and that
the Red Gross was 10000 bushels
short. He put Spencer on the spot
as the one responsible for not deliv-
ering the wheat to the Red Cross
Yohe In a letter to Andrew Robbie
tfen chairman of the mill and eleva-
tor association on Nov. 2, 1882, re-
ferred to the transaction and recon-
mended that the entire warehouse or
elevator facilities be licensed under
the federal warehouse act, that the
elevator manager and superintendent
have complete control of the contents
and that the person in charge of the
mill have no connection whatever
With the elevator.
Since Yohe's letter Spencer has re-
fused to bond Bell, as manager of the
elevator, and the U. S. government
has been compelled to cancel its Ii
cense under the federal warehouse
act.
Gronna Asked Action
At the meeting of the Industrial
Commission on July 26, Attorney Gen.
eral Gronna moved that the recon-
rlendations of Mr.. Yohe be complied
with and that a federal license be
procured under the federal warehouse
act. HUSKY seconded the motion and
ttt governor voted against it, thereby

Ambassador Is Mediator
U. s. Ambassador Sumner Welles,
who is seeking to end Cuba's tur-
moil, declared after a long interview
with President Machado Tuesday
that mediation is not ended"
The ambassador spent an hour and
30 minutes with, the president, whose
resignation has been asked by all
Cuban political parties as the only
way to bring about peace. WelleS
Eaid his call was pleasant.
The disorders came as climax to
q week of agitation and strikes,
which spread as opposition leaders
sought to induce President Machado,
storm center Of political unrest, to
retire from his office, and while We'll

upon proposed plan of peaceful set

The strike that started nearly two
weeks ago with small walkout of
omnibus drivers and since has gained
adherents IN nearly every trade, de-
veioped further Tuesday with the an
nouncement that employees in the pub
lie instruction and treasury depart
ments were prepared to strike. The
former ask eight concessions, includ-
ing wages overdue the last nine
months.
The legislature Monday gave the
president authority to suspend con-
stitutional guarantees of personal lib
erty In an effort to curb the spread
ing strike. Immediately military
forces took over Havana and heavy
firing rang through the streets.
It was understood Machado told
five Liberal party representatives he
was ready to leave office If the people
so willed, but that he would not quit
as the result Of any foreign inter-
meddling."
Political circles took this as a refer
ence to Ambassador Welles' attempts
to mediate the political differences.
Welles was understood to have sug-
gested peace formula in which it
was provided that Machado take a
"leave OF absence"

WHAT IS PERSONAL LIBERTY?

There are two major reasons given by repealists
in favor of removing the 18th Amendment from
our constitution. One very important reason
stressed during these times of depression is the
need of liquor taxes for the maintenance of gov
eminent.
To our mind this reason is fimsy and unsound
for no nation can look for prosperity through the
bunghole of beer barrel or through the neck of
a whiskey bottle.
Another reason, and one given with great force
and vehemence by repealists is that involving per-
sonal liberty.
Personal liberty is a great asset to nation OF
free people. But just what is personal liberty? Is
personal liberty an element that is distributed free
and equal to all people?
Personal liberty, it is presumably argued, I'M
plies the right of any individual to imbbe as freely
as he pleases regardless of the resultant condition
of the individual and his manner and attitude in
public places This is fine. 1t is personal liberty
of which any fool should be proud.
But let us study this matter of personal privilege
bit further There are people, many of them,
who like to have such brand of personal liberty
that allows them to carry themselves circumspectly
on the streets of the city, the highways of the
county, and through the midway of county and
state fairs In other words, they like the kind OF
liberty that allows them to be courteous in their
manner and proper in their conduct when associ-
ating with their fellow man.
But what about this courtesy and conduct of the
man who has the personal liberty that allows him
to imbibe freely, parade himself public streets
and through mdways at county fairs in manner
most disgusting and often insulting to those with
whom he comes in contact? Does the personal lib
erty of the mbiber take precedence over the per-
sona liberty of the non-imbber who prefers to act
like lady. or gentleman in public contact?
Personal liberty is fine thing for the individual.
But when personal liberty advances into the realm
of personal license it becomes a curse to society.
And we fear that the day about to dawn is
going to be far from what many people hope for.

WE'RE STILL TAGGING IN SOCIAL
PROGRESS
(By BRUCE CATTON)

If the social sciences only could catch up
pretty fair sort of world before very long.
DR.. George W. Grille of Cleveland, a
medical man who sees visions and dreams
dreams in the laboratory where he exam
recent congress of the American College
of Surgeons that the human race will be a
much finer and healthier outfit inside of a
century.
Doctors then will prevent disease rather
than cure it; indeed, the doctor who has to
treat disease will have to confess that he
has failed in his duty of preventing its in
ceptiOn.
Such plaques as diphtheria, typhoid,
smallpox, malaria, and typhus will be
eliminated; tuberculosis, diabetes and most
diseases of the heart will be mastered; can
Ger and the social diseases will be reduced
sharply, and childbirth will be made safe.
And yet DR.. Grille does not believe that
this health race of 2033 AID, will be a
very happy one. The race, he believes, will
be menaced increasingly by the develop
ment of technology. The pace of day-to-
day living will continue to increase, SO that
there will be more disorders of the mind
and the nervous system than ever before.
This bit of prophecy seems to indicate
that we have mastered just about every
science except the simple and homely one
of conducting everyday affairs so that
human beings can be happy instead of I'M
happy. We can conquer the toughest
problems the physical world has to offer
us, but we can't seem to solve the simplest
riddles of human nature.
We ride in airplanes and automobiles
instead of the springless ox-carts of print
tive man, we tunnel under mountains and
dam up rivers and cure disease and weigh
the stars and send our voices across the
seas. But when it comes to the business of
getting along with one another, and giving
every human being a decent break in life
we don't seem to be very much wiser than
the citizens of Augustan Rome.
The great untouched field before us to-
day is the field of human relations. The
great problem is the one of putting our tri.
umphs in the physical sciences to work sc
that they can provide the greatest good fol
the greatest number.

RARE w. N. G. PLANTS
TAKEN TO NEW YORK

ASHEVILLE, Oct. 23.-Seeds
of more than 800 species of flow
ering plants, gathered in the
Southern Appalachian and Great
Smoky mountains, were taken to
the New York Botanical gardens
last week by e. J. Alexander, for
merly of Asheville and now assis-
tant curator of the New York in
stitution.
With Asheville as headquarters,
Mr.. Alexander, Stanly Pearson,
student gardener. and Thomas H.
Everett, chief horticulturist of the
gardens, started collecting the
seeds on August %. Many of the
seeds are from plants which have
never been seen in cultivation.
The botanical expedition COW
cred more than 5000 miles, by
truck and on foot, to collect the
specimens from parts of North
Carolina, Virginia. West Virginia,
and Pennsylvania.
A small locust tree which
blooms white blossoms in spring
is one of the rarest shrubs repre-
serted in the collection. Found
thus far only on a few rocky
mountain peaks near Highlands,
it is known scientifically as "ro-
binia hartwegii."
The seeds taken to the gardens
laboratory are about equally d.
vided between Towering shrubs
and herbs, Mr.. Alexander said.
Two unusual species of plants
represented in the collection, he
pointed out, are a species of eve
ming primrose, which hes yellow
blossoms about two inches in di-
ameter that open at twilight and
close at dawn, and a plant called
"eriogonum alleni," which has
bright yellow flowers. Both of
these flowers should subject to
cultivation, the latter in large
rock gardens, the botanist said.
