In these two conflicting views OF
mature man and youth. father and

revealed.
Thirty years ago. Arerica was
embarked on a quest for imOerial

tiFe. Today. the pendulum has
7wung back. and the administ-a-
ticn seems embarked definitely on
7 course Of withdrawing from those
ventures and waehing them up.

Revolution In Policy
Today, with South America filled
with governments almost as old a!

whether this really means any.

All this Is a revolution IN for

years OF theory and practice.

dam at Garrison and the diverting Of
water of the Missouri and its tribu-
taries into Devils Lake.
Cooke indicated he favored q sys-
tenn Of small dams throughout the
drouth belt which would back up the
water of creeks and streams into q Sc
ries of ponds and small lakes. Lemke's
secretary said. The resources board,
he said, did not feel that North Da-
kota and adjoining states were des-
tined for a continuance of the drouth
cycle but were just now in an unusual
period.
Cooke appeared inclined to the be-
lief that precipitation would be in
creased by construction of these small
artificial bodies Of water. He was in
clined to scout the theory that the
Dakotas were destined to become q
great American desert.
Cooke reported the board was sym
pathetic and doing all it could" to
find an adequate plan of relief.
The attitude Of the board, which
apparently IS much the same as that
Of the Mississippi valley committee of
PWA which it succeeded. gave rise to
speculation that an appropriation
might be sought from the next con-
gress. Senator Nye lRep., N. d., said
recently he would sponsor such legis-
lation If the administration did not
work out satisfactory solution.
President Roosevelt has repeatedly
expressed concern In the states prob
lem since he visited the drouth area
in August.

800 A. & p. GROCERIES
IN CLEVELAND CLOSED

Cleveland, Oct. 3O.-R)-A grocery
store chain with 300 establishments
in Greater Cleveland has responded to
what it terms labor troubles by leav-
ing the city. bag and baggage, and
principals to the controversy were in
Washington to tell the national labor
relations board about it.
Drastic. although not unprecedent-
ed, in the history of strife between
employer and employe in the United
States, the action of the great Allan
tic & Pacific Tea Co., left in its wake
only placards, notifying the public
the stores are closed and. a wordy
tempest in an effort to place the
responsibility for it.
In statement issued at New York,
the company said attempts of labor
organizers to unionize the stores per-
sonnet constituted coercion" Of its
1900 employees here by mere hand
full" and that failure to obtain neces-
sary police protection led to boiling
the doors Of the A. a. p. groceries.

roughage is the estimate for North
Dakota, Mr.. Rain told the railroad
executives.
Two topics. drouth relief, freight
tariffs and the proposal for modi-
fication of the long and short haul
provisions CT the interstate commerce
act, occupied the shippers Tuesday.
Attended by about $50 representa-
tlves of the railroads and shipping
interests Of North and South Dakota,
Montana and Minnesota, the question
of drouth relief tariff rates came in
for some sharp comment centering
around one point IN one tarlI1.
A special low rate on feed made
voluntarily by the railroads expired
on Sept. "a and point now in con-
troversy is as to whether the special
tariff covered shipments made be-
fore midnight Of Sept. "a.
Rates Did Not Apply
Many shippers went on the assump-
ton the rates would apply on all ship
ments which were delivered to the
carriers and were l., the cars on or
before midnight of Sept. "a. Speak
ers included P. A. Lee, secretary Of
the North Dakota Farmers Elevator
association; Frank B. Townsend, di-
rector Of traffic for the Minneapolis
Traffic association: Ray BoWden, Sec
rotary of the Northwest Country Ele-
vators association; H. j. Atwood. men,
her of the Duluth Board of Trade.
They maintained they had been in
formed by representatives of the car
riers that if the feed was delivered
to the carrier before that time the
rates would apply.
However. the railway tariff board
the western lines ruled
that the rate applied only on ship
ments that were delivered before
Sept. "a.
Several speakers, including Town
send, pointed out that the railroads
cannot be expected to continue the
role of Santa Claus" and carry ship
ments of feed and livestock at rates
below cost of transportation indefi-
nitely as their revenues too have been
greatly reduced as result of drouth.
This point was conceded by many
of the shippers who
maintained the point they were max
ing was that in this particular in
stance shippers were led to believe the
rate would apply on the cars loaded
before the end of the time limit, that
they had passed this low rate on to
tho hry-nrc IF fhaca chinmnntS and
felt they should be reimbursed.

SECURITY DEALERS
CEYDOWN TO WORK
Convention Devoted Chiefly to
Discussion Of New Proce.
dure Needed

White Sulphur Springs, w. Va, Oct.
rallying cry of lets stop
complaining and get to work" is the
theme Of the annual convention Of the
Investment Bankers association now
in progress here.
This IS In keeping with the spirit
of Cancellation with the reform and
recovery measures Of the new deal
manifested at the convention Of the
commercial bankers in washington
last week. The Investment Bankers
have received this exhortation from
their own leaders. The only federal
government officer to attend the con-
vention here has been Robert E. Healy,
member of the securities and ex-
change commission, and he has been
present only as an observer.
The convention. with only one more
day to 60, has contrasted sharply
with the gathering a year ago, and
with many other gatherings Of secur-
ity dealers and financiers, which have
been devoted largely to attacks upon
new deal regulatory legislation. to
government fiscal, monetary and other
problems.
Strong opposition to many aspects
Of the securities act and the securities
exchange act has been widely express
ed in private conversations among
the delegates. but the deliberations Of
the convention thus far have been de-
voted not to drawing up demands for
change, but chiefly to discussions Of
procedure under the new conditions.
Financiers Of the public utility in
dustry were told that the time for
protest against competition from fed
eral and municipal governments Is
past, that 1t is now up to the private
ly-owned companies to justify them
selves by providing the most efficient
service.
This represented q drastic change
Of policy on the part Of the associa-
ton. It has In the past Issued vehe-
ment protests and long arguments
against the entrance Of the govern
ment in the electric power and light
business.

HITS CITIZENS who
FAIL TO TAKE PART
IN POLITICAL WORK
Former Governor Shafer Scores
Political Hitch-hikers' in
Luncheon Address

Scoring business and professional
men who take no part IN politics Tor
business reasons but enjoy cam
paigns from the sidelines, former Gov
erncr George F. Shafer, in an ad-
dress before the Bismarck kiWaniS
club Tuesday noon, declared demo-
cratic government could not exist
without politics and campaigns.
The duty of every citizen of taking
an active part in politics to assist IN
intelligently shaping affairs OF state
and nation is even more abused than
the duty of voting, the former COVER
nor charged.
Saying that he realized active par
ticipation in politics is odious to
many of our substantial and more in
telligent citizens, former Governor
Shafer nevertheless charged them
with the duty of assisting in putting
over the political platforms and cam
didates of their choice to prevent less
intelligent citizens and In some cases
1.-The criminal element" from domin-
ating our government.
Being Carried Along
He described these sideline citizens
as political hitch-hikers riding on
somebody else'S automobile, gasoline,
time, money and energy"
He related one incident which oc-
Cured when he was attorney general
which demonstrated that politics in
st. Paul, Mimi, at that time was
dominated and influenced by the
criminal element and charged that
this same condition, in varying de-
grees, exists in states and cities
throughout the United States.
Active interest in government by
substantial citizens Is the price Of
democracy the former governor said
in urging all members Of the club to
not only vote to take an active part in
directing the vote along the most in
telligent lines to eliminate corruption
and bolster wisdom in government.
Shafer was introduced by P. E.
Byrne, program chairman.
Plays Violin Solos
Three violin solos were played by
Miss Mary Wood, daughter of How
ard Wood, former lieutenant COVER
nor of North Dakota. She was ac-
companied by Miss Marguerite Ken
needy, daughter Of State Engineer Rob-
ert E. Kennedy, member Of the XII
wants club.
Miss Wood played two Indian num-
bers, Pale Moon" and Land of the
Sky Blue Water" and Danny Boy"
In presenting the musicians, Chair
man Byrne read the words of Danny
Boy and described it as an Irish air
the origin Of which extends back be-
yond record.
In calling attention to the neces-
sity for active work by the club in
preparation for the district Kiwanis
convention here next summer, Presi-
dent Walter G.. Render announced
that former Governor Shafer has
been named general convention chair
man. Supreme Court Justice A. G.
Burr will serve as convention pro-
gram chairman and Frank H. Waldo
has been named district publicity
chairman.
Clarion E. Larson played accom-
paniments to the clubs group singing.

Hollywood, Calf, Oct. 3O.-R
Lou Tellegen. one-time stage
and screen idol. is dead. the victim
of repeated thrusts of a pair Of
scissors into hts breast.
Police said the wounds obviously
were self-inflicted. Friends said
the 53-year-old actor. broken in
health and doing bit parts In the
movies, was afraid of losing his
mind.
Half shaven, he was found dy-
ing on bathroom floor at the
home Of Mrs. John r. Cudahy,
widow Of the meat packer and
benefactress of the actor. She
had sent her butler to learn why
Tellegen had not left his room
since breakfast.
The death weapon was jabbed
into the actors breast seven times,
but police surgeons said only one
Of the wounds was fatal. The
blood-stained scissors lay near his
outstretched right hand.
Tellegen died only q few doors
from the pretentious home he had
built for his second wife, Geral-
dine Farrar, the grand opera star,
when he was at the height Of his
career.
In marked contrast with his
fame then, in recent months Tele-
gen wandered from studio to
studio in search Of bit parts.
