A Hearing for the Veteran
(Minneapolis Trihune}

No reasonable person will protest
President Roosevelt's decision to re-
view the regulations and schedules af-
fecting payments to veterans with
service connected disabilities. II the
government must err in its attitude
toward this group, nearly everyone
would prefer that it err on the side
Of generosity than on the side Of in
justice. These are the veterans to
whom the nation is the most deeply
obligated, and there should be no
lingering suspicion than that the ad-
ministration's economy program has
dealt unfairly with them.
If the review ordered by the presi-
dent shows that some of the regula-
tlons and schedules carrying out that
program have been made too severe,
1t goes without saying that some cas-
ing Of them is in order. The failure
20 correct whatever injustices may
exist would not only deprive some de-
serving veterans Of their due, it would
tend to discredit the entire movement
for economy in the field Of veterans
benefits, movement which has been
dictated, on the whole, by wisdom
and necessity.
The statement from the White
House promising a reconsideration of
some Of the reductions previously or
dered explains that the presidents
action is in line with his original
pledge that regulations and schedules
would be drafted Ito effect the most
humane possible treatment of veter-
ans purely disabled in war service" !"
Louis johnson, national commander
Of the American Legion, has indi-
Gated to the president that this
pledge. in all cases. has not been car
ried out and Mr.. Roosevelt apparently
agrees that a careful study of the
effects Of the new order is warranted
If this study should uncover only 8
comparatively few injustices to thu
war disabled veterans, it will have
accomplished a worthy end. The ma.
ton, no less than the president him
self, Is anxious to keep faith witt
those veterans whose disabilities, be-
cause they were incurred in service
set them apart as group deseryin,
Of the utmost consideration.

Defending the Devil

An old farm saying is 1T makes
lot Of difference whose OK is gored,"
and conversely it makes lot of diff
ference who says a thing.
For financier to defend the much
berated international banker. for ex-
ample, would bring only scoffs and
jeers. For q laboring man to do so
gives food for thought.
It Is on this basis that recent
statement by D. B. Robertson, presi-
dent Of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Firemeu and Engineers, attracts
more than passing attention. Rob-
ertson is representative OF, If not &C.
tually speaking for, large body Of
American workmen who, by no stretch
Of the Imagination can be classed as
financiers.
Commenting on the world financial
situation and Americas relation to it,
Robertson said:
"An era Of economic difficulty
Is always an encouragement to
the political demagogue, the pro-
tessional representative of the
people. This Is the time he
chooses to broadcast his loudest
outcry against the vested inter-
ests' and to accuse big business
through control Of capital, Of con-
niving to exploit the nation.

THE BICYCLE IS A VERY GOOD

It begins to look as though icredit |

any great measure due to the depres-
sion and q return Of sanity to an
extrayagant people, I am not quail

the bicycle Is gaining popularity be-
cause it Is 50 convenient, SO pleasant.
so healthful and SO economical q
means of getting about.
At first it seemed that bicycle rid
ing was pastime for the idle rich,
in their various winter, summer,
spring and fall resorts. Then the
young children began to ride about IN
the quieter suburbs on fine days.
Finally older people began timidly
mounting the youngsters bikes to see
whether they had forgotten how to
ride. And so the jolly old wheel Is
fast gaining the place it deserves IN
our daily life. For its health value
alone-there should be a bicycle or
two in every garage. You absorb oxy-

Beware

Contained in the editors mail is q
circular from a Chicago firm which
asks the alluring question: do you
know that you can purchase an op-
ton on 5000 bushels of wheat, corn,
oats or rye for as little as ten dol
lar bill?"
The question may or may not con-
tain information for the average
North Dakotan but it does carry about
it, for those who give the matter a
second thought, the suggestion that
ten dollars is much too small with
which to finance an option on 5000
bushels Of any grain.
The remainder of the circular is a
plain invitation to gamble on the
grain market with the aid OF a "spe-
cial pamphlet" which the obliging
firm will send without charge.
It is not pessimism to suggest that
whoever takes one Of these CANDLES
should be prepared-should even ex-
pect-to lose his money. With SO
small a margin the slightest fluctua-
ton in the market would wipe out
the ten-spot, even II 1t were invested
in grain option by the broker as per
instructions.
The plain truth, however, is that
there still are such things in the
world as bucket shops where orders
to buy or sell are written ION the
cuff and the investor" has no more
chance Of winning than a dog with
tallow legs has Of catching an as

this campaign Of destruction and
fomenting Of unrest has taken Is
toward the international banker.
The bankers have been pointed to
as responsible for making loans,
known to be worthless, to foreign
governments, for the purpose of
profiting from the sale of the Sc
curities.
1T cannot be denied that there
have been excesses in the placing
of foreign loans. This has re-.
suited. however. as much from the
demands of the public as from
the negligence of the bankers.
The pre-depression era of unpre-
cedented prosperity lulled both
bankers and investors into sense
of false security. The speculative
spirit was rife and an avid public
demanded and absorbed large
quantities of foreign bonds, yield
ing in the main q much higher
return than funds invested in do
mestic securities.
In the worlds economic ma
chinery 1t Is essential to progress
that there be included an agency
for the collection Of the surplus
funds Of one country and their
employment for profitable and
constructive purposes in areas un-
dergoing development. Idle credit
is useless. It should be remem-
bered that had it not been for
the great influx Of foreign cap
ital following the Civil War, the
United States could not have at
tanned its ultimate position of in
dustrial supremacy and probably
would not be the strong and
closely-knit nation it is today.
The function of collecting and
distributing capital internationally
falls to the investment banker,
and without the loans made to
Europe following the war, it is
likely that the world would be in
a more chaotic state than at the
present"
If the remarks were made by Rich
I'd Whitney, president Of the Ne,
'ork Stock Exchange, or some on
milarly placed they would seem t.
airy their own answer.
But when they are made by a la
oring man, who has been honore'

| YORK.
BY JULIA BLANSHARD

New York, May 15.-New York has
gone tango-mad. But apparently all
that tangoes Is not Spanish. Rosita,
dusky, graceful partner Of Ramon,
whose dances delight Ell Garron ha-
bitues, is an Irish lassie. In the team
of Maurice and Cordoba, sleek, vivid,
black-haired Maurice was born Co
hen, on the East Side.
Tamiris and Marguerite, the famous
Band Box team Of a few years ago,
learned the appeal that Spanish
dancers have. They had failed to
get footing when they first started
dancing together. So they shipped
to South America with q troupe,
stayed two years, learned both Span
ish and Spanish dances, and came
back speaking only Spanish or very
broken English.
They became the rage. But at a
party at the Irving Berlins' somebody
cracked q Jewish joke and Tamiris
laughed out loud. So she confessed
that she had been Helen Becker, on
Delaney street.
BRIDGE ITEM
willard Karn, bridge expert, wore
"a loud orange, beige and brown
checked shirt and tie at the Mayfair
the other evening. II bought these
in Paris five years ago, but I've just
gotten up my nerve to wear them
now," he confessed. He also admitted
that while some bridge experts have
to practice bridge daily, to keep in
form, he doesn't. MY bridge is God
given," he explained.

Arswer-No, I should advise you
to stick with the family physicians
course. Good medical treatment and
of the general hygiene by
the physician will bring about cure
in most cases Of exophthalmic goitre.
Good Judgment
All the best operators I have seen
agree that 1t requires four, five or
six treatments for each tonsil, II one
Is to avoid excessive reactions and
sore throats. Perhaps it is undue
haste to complete the treatment that
explains the unsatisfactory experience
Of some physicians with this method.
&C. A. p, M. d.
Answer-The most positive protest
I have received from a patient came
from a lady who said that the one
treatment she had, which produced
such severe sore throat that she
never wanted another, removed about
two-thirds Of one tonsil. DR.. Bungle
should not attempt to give such treat
ment.
Pasteurized to Raw
You recommended the use Of raw
(not certified) milk for children. We
recently changed from pasteurized to
raw. One Of the children has since
had a rash on his cheek. We wonder
II the raw milk Is responsible for
this? I'd. j. A.
Certified milk Is always
the best for anybody, If it Is available
I recommend the use of raw milk
ONLY when your physician or your
local health officer tells you the grade
you propose to use IS safe. I do moi
think the use of raw milk can have
anything to do with skin rash.

Pitiful Leadership


national Farm Holiday Association is
demonstrated by the decision to call
a farmers strike and the subsequent
announcement that the effort had
been called off "out Of respect to the
chief executive OF the United States
and a regard for the opinion Of the
general public"
The statement Is, in effect, con-
fession that the association either had
no idea that public opinion would
condemn the farm strike at this time
or had no regard for it. In either
case the situation reflects no credit
on Milo Reno, head Of the association,
or his co-workers in this peculiar
attempt to lead the farmers into
new promised land.
Declaration by Reno that THE
presidents statement, which in ef-
feet is a command under the powers
granted him, should be respected by
governors and courts" further en-
phasizes the peculiar mentality of
these men.
No one has yet accused Roosevelt
of being unable to clearly express
himself and Reno's attempt to read
into the presidents plea for patience
by both borrower and lender support
of the Farm Holiday moratorium idea
is little far-fetched. What the pres
ident did-and what every intelligent
business and farm leader has been
doing-was to suggest that it was
both good business and sound pa
.riotism to wait until the new farm
:efinance program can be made ef-
fective. Efforts to interpret his
declaration in any other way smack
of propaganda.
The president has no power to sus-
pend the general laws or to create
new ones. All Of the things he has
done to date have been with the au-
thority of law. Where the law did
not permit him to do as he wanted
he has asked for new ones, or changes
in old statutes which would grant
such permission. Mr.. Roosevelt Is a
constitutional president, acting in q
constitutional manner. His character
and training will permit him to be
nothing else.
Congress is granting him the pow
ers which he has asked, but If it did
not we would have no spectacle Of
the president overstepping his legal
authority.
In this great crisis he has become
the moral and social as well as the
political leader of his country. His
request for patience and for no hasty
disturbance Of the status quo was an
exercise of his unofficial leadership Of
this nation.
On Saturday morning Mr.. Reno
was inclined to sneer at this phase
Of the presidents power. He wasn't
satisfied with the declaration and
said so. But the rest of the nation
thought it sufficient and so Reno and
his followers yielded to public opinion.
They may not realize it, but the very
public opinion which they mention
probably found root in the same
statement which so signally failed to
impress them.
There is signal difference between
the exercise of leadership and the
usurpation Of power.
