venes in Favor Of State
Grain Commissioner

A writ Of mandamus ordering the
North Dakota auditing board to ap-
prove payment OF five months salary
to Wesley G. Mcdowell, state grain
storage commissioner, was issued In
Burleigh county district court We'd
nesday afternoon by Judge Fred Jan
sonius.
The writ was issued following in
tervention In the case by the Bank
Of North Dakota as q co-plaintiff.
The order requires approval Of
payment Of 1921 for each Of the
months of July, August, September,
October and November.
The auditing board had refused to
approve payment Of McDowell's sal
ary on the ground that the last legis-
lature made no appropriation for such
purpose. Mcdowell, however, has
continued working in the position,
since the legislature failed to repeal
the measure creating the office.

him excellent opportunity to achieve
the same effect with regard to public

Meanwhile the thousands Of men
and women in the postoffices and

graduated upon the manner in which

That Wine Quota

France, unwilling to pay her Just
debts, lacking up tariffs to keep out
American goods and otherwise seek
Ing to hamper and reduce our trade
with her. is very anxious to sell us
much OF the wine which has accu-
mulated in her wineries during the
last decade and half.
The American market was an i'm
portant one before prohibition and
France will be glad to get 1t back
II she can.
But there are certain conditions
which must be met. First of all, of
course, there is the tariff. It should
be high enough to give California and
other winners a chance to compete; !;
also high enough to turn some reve-
nue. into the federal treasury.
Second, there is the competitive
situation. We can buy wine from
Italy. Portugal, Spain, Mexico. South
America and host OF other regions,
and perhaps to better advantage
than from France.
The Gallo policy always has been
to take everything and give nothing,
as the war debts prove.
But when 1t comes to wine quotas,
America has the whip hand and
should not hesitate to use 1t. There
is more than q little argument In
favor Of the suggestion of Rep.
Knudtson of Minnesota that the tar
1T on French imports be tripled. in
comparison with tariffs on imports
from other nations, and the differ
ence thus accumulated applied on
the war debts.
That seems to be quite in line with
the horse-trading policy on such mat
ters which seems to have been
espoused by the national administra-
tion.

Removing the Cloak

President Roosevelt's pledge that
this government is finished with the
old policy of armed Intervention into
the affairs of its Latin American
neighbors is generally looked upon as
historic modification of the Monroe
Doctrine. It might be more accurate
to say that instead OF a modification
It Is restoration of that doctrine.
Originally, the Monroe Doctrine
simply was a declaration that this
country would resist any attempt by
European powers to establish new
colonies. protectorates or spheres Of
influence" in the new world. It was
only comparatively recently that 1t
became cloak beneath which the
United States interfered in the In
ternal affairs of other nations.
President Roosevelt's declaration
restores 1t to its old position. The
historic doctrine Is back now where
1t was when first promulgated.

Contrivances or "baby-walkers" are

Contrivances or 'baby-walkers" are
unnecessary and may be injurious.
Do not restrain the baby,s spontane-
GUS efforts to stand up while he holds
onto something for support. Do not
put silly shoes or other clumsy foot
wear on the baby who is learning to
walk. Only socks or soft moccasins
or later the softest baby shoes with
no stiffness in any part. Walking
barefoot is fine for the baby's health
and the development Of the feet and
legs, at all times, provided the baby
Is comfortable with the feet bare.
As q rule babies can stand at the
age Of II or II months, and they be-
gin to take tottering steps, with plenty
of false start and falls. at the age Of
l3 or IA months, and should be walk
ing unaided by the sixteenth month.

PLAY HORSE WITH YOUR BABY

Our Yankee reader contributes her
observation:
A while ago I read in your column
the query Of the woman whose 20
months-old baby refused to walk. The
answer you gave her was good. I
thought. OF course 1t is not impos-
sible that the baby may have q men
tai defect. However, as mother OF
fair experience, am inclined to be-
lieve that the child lacks only the
confidence necessary to commence
walking.
I say this because my son refused
to walk at the age of 81 months, al
though he was advanced in talking
and in his general development and
muscular strength. He is cautious by
nature and nheritance-regular New
England Yankee stock!-you know US,
all right. So bethought myself psy-
chology was needed. took my belt
one day and placed it around his mid
die. I then suggested to him that
he be horse which l would drive.
It worked by appealing to his imagin-
alton and helping him overcome his
scruples against excessive display OF
leg motion. At first gave him some
support, but after few trials I drop
ped my end of the strap and the
"horse" kept on. After a few peram-
bulations he discovered the driver
was not with him. Did he stop walk
ing? Not he! He Is four years old
now. He climbed his first mountain
q week ago.
So I conclude, give cautious child
some other idea than himself to think
of, and his confidence will develop
apace. tE. e. Nj
Our Yankee correspondent teaches
a good lesson in pedagogy. The most
eminent child psychologist could not
do better.
In the case Of the l9-months-old
baby we suggested an examination to
determine the baby's mental capacity.
We did not say the baby was mentally
defective.
Any baby that fails to walk by the
18th month. provided the baby has
had intelligent care and q reasonable
amount Of encouragement without too
much urging or assistance, should be
examined by the physician. not alone
for mental deficiency, but for physical
defects, general malnutrition, paraly-
sis, ricketts,, etc.

 Plenty of mush in the morning will preclude the need of a cock tail to stimulate a dinner appetite.
