Still a Sober PEOPLE

Even a casual survey OF the pro-
hibition situation as it exists In this
state will reveal that the free, II IL
legal, sale Of 90 beer has decreased
the amount Of hard liquor which is
being consumed. People may be
drinking more IN volume but they are
taking less alcohol into their sys-
TENS.
When the state and national pro-
hibition laws are repealed, however
there unquestionably will be a swing
toward more potent liquor. As II
stands now many persons prefer good
beer to poor whiskey but when the
time comes that high-powered spirits
Of good quality are available they
will turn back to those.
II is apparent, therefore, that there
is more remaining to the liquor issue
than the question OF repeal. We
mug think past and beyond that

time and ask ourselves the question

time ana ask ourselves the question
After repeal, what?"
A complex industrial civilization
like ours cannot operate on q tradi-
ton Of hard drinking. Probably 1t
was a dawning recognition Of that
fact that made us willing to expert
ment with federal prohibition l3
years ago. And now that we have
learned the failure Of that method
of coping with the problem, We are
going to have to find some new sys-
tenn of social control which will keep
alcohol from becoming menace.
Our best bet, oddly enough, may
we'll be this dawning economic sys-
tenn by which the ordinary working
man is going to get more leisure, bet
ter living conditions and a higher
wage.
Strong drink, additionally, has
been the wage slaves method OF es-
cape from unpleasant reality. Elk
cessive drinking was not SO much the
cause Of abject poverty as abject
poverty was the cause Of excessive
drinking. And from this it Is clear
that the success Of the repeal expert
ment will depend largely on the sue
cess of the industrial new deal"
Bringing the submerged tenth" up
into freer and happier life Is our
best chance of making alcohol q USE
full servant and not ruinous master.
Even with the probable advantage
of better times, however, it IS going
to be necessary to exercise some form
Of control over a traffic which first
became famous by making Noah un-
fit for duty. We must devise some
means of keeping the new leisure
from being devoted to bouts with the
drinking cup.
1t is not at all certain that we are
going to have a special election in
North Dakota this year to deal either
with beer or the question Of prohi-
bition in general.
If we do, however, 1t is necessary
that full recognition be given to that
large number of people who, al
though disguised with prohibition,
realize that repeal is not complete
answer to this age-old problem.
AS far as it is possible to do, the
profit should be taken out OF the
liquor traffic. At the very least it
should be fairly regulated The man
who wants beer or bottle OF whiskey
should be permitted to have it, but
1t should not be thrust upon him and
the profit motive should be toned
down. It was this which forced pro-
hibition upon the country. Before
prohibition abuses existed to which
every decent citizen objected.
If the North Dakota prohibition
law Is to be repealed 1t should be su-
perseded as quickly as possible by
new system which will remove the
distribution OF spirits as far as pos
sible from politics and which will
regulate 1t in such manner that it
does not become inimical to the pub
lie good.
1t should be kept In mind that we
are, after all. sober people.

Clearer Skies Over Europe
Chicago Tribune)

The American public, preoccupied
with the momentous and masterful
projects for internal recovery launch
ed by the president, has not given
much attention to recent events in
Europe, although their main tend
ency and immediate effects may have
important consequences for us as
we'll as for Europe.
The most significant of these
events is the apparent relaxation of
tension between France and Italy and
the opening prospect of understand
ings between these powers which may
harmonic with policies in central
Europe. If Cancellation can be es-
tablished in place of jealous and
perilous competition between France
and the little entente on the one
hand and Italy and her protege
Hungary, on the other, the danger OF
war which hangs like black cloud
over Europe will be materially di-
min1shed and economic 'ameliorations
should be possible which will stimu-
late the recovery of Europe and the
world. The failure Of the previous
Danubian conference, which was both
dangerous and disheartening, may be
replaced by successful negotiations
among the nations concerned. The
four power peace pact, initiated by
Mussolini; the non-aggression trea.
ties signed by the Soviet with the
nations on its border, the disposition
shown by the Hitler government tx

THE MUCOUS COLITIs COMPLEX

The traditional malady Of the
classes, govt, has become suspiciously
rare in this age of voluptuousness.
One need not seek for for the expla-
nation. Modern diagnosis is based on
methods of precision. No longer can
q doctor, no matter how eminent,
pronounce" things thus and so. If
scientific tests fail to substantiate
his opinion the great specialists snap
diagnosis Is worth no more than the
guess of any other doctor.
The theory on which the concep-
ton of govt was based was that an
excess of uric acid accumulated IN
the blood or in the affected tissues. In
some cases q rough and ready test
Of the blood seemed to bear out this
theory, but accurate chemical tests
have shown that such an accumula-
ton Of an excess Of uric aid Is q
common occurrence in all sorts OF all
ments far removed from a equity"
state. So the physician who still
ventures to brand a complaint 'gout'
is more romantic than practical.
There must be q few classical quacks
left, for the medicine makers still
offer uric acid eliminatorS" to the
medical profession.
Mucous COLTS is another affectation
of the classes which proves equally
unsubstantial on analysis. Persons
who have the mucous colitis complex
will please keep their temper until I
explain that do not insist there Is
nothing the matter with the poor gink
who develops this morbid complex. I
merely say the chances are all against
colitis as correct diagnosis In such
cases.
Colitis means Inflammation Of the
colon, the large intestine. Colitis can
and does happen, Of course, but when
it does the patient presents no such
symptoms as these victims of the
mucous COLTS complex have. That is
fair scientific statement Of the facts.

Let Henry Do It

LANCER addressed telegram 10 Sec
rotary of Agriculture Wallace asking
him to do all in his power to fix
grain prices In Minneapolis as fol-
lows:
Wheat $125 bushel. flax 81, bar
ley 70 cents, rye IS cents and oats
30 cents
The intent, doubtless, is to impress
upon both farmer and businessman
what sincere friend OF theirs the
governor really is.
The trouble, however, is that 1t
suggests something for the other fell
low to do, realizing that whatever
difficulties such action entails will
not be presented to Governor LANCER
for solution.
Every citizen of this section is In
favor of the prices suggested or Of
an even higher level. We have no
desire to profiteer at the expense OF
the consumers of the nation, but with
the crop as short as it is we desire
enough to pull us through" until
better times have clearly arrived. It
IS unquestionable that the governor
expresses the aspirations Of every
North Dakotan when he declares In
favor OF higher prices for the things
We have to sell.
Beyond that fact the gesture has
no importance and will have no
weight with the national admins

cost Of food. They still recognize the

success, but the adjustment is not
easy for them to bear. The allot-
ment payments will be made in a few
weeks and these will testify In ma
terial way to the good intentions of
tho present administration toward
agriculture.
It is questionable, too, II 1t is good
policy to advocate fixing fos
agricultural products as is now sug-
gested. 1t was tried by the farm
board in 1880, the pegged price at
that time being the same figure as
now is suggested by the governor,

There is still another factor to b
