Sweeping Change in
AAA Setup Planned

Visibly worried over the drouth
situation, Secretary Wallace said three
more weeks without rain in the
parched areas would mean really
serious" crisis.
The farm administration, the sur
plus relief corporation and the fed
eral relief administration were busy
with plans for speedy disposal OF
cattle bought by the government and
outlining other relief steps which may
be taken in the midwest.
Secretary Wallace insisted the crop
curtailment efforts of the farm ad-
ministration had alleviated some OF
the drouth distress.
Saved Feed by Slaughter
He said the slaughter of pigs had
resulted in the saving Of approxi-
mately 100000 bushels of corn; the
corn loan program had increased the
price and decreased consumption and
the taking of land out of wheat had
increased the amount of pasturage
available. The need of feed is one
OF the principal concerns in the
stricken area.
The secretary said the drouth
might distort the judgment of many
people in terms of ordinary weather, -
but that the situation in 1896 and
1897 should be kept in mind in any
discussion of abandoning crop ad-
justment plans.
Doctor E. w. Sheets, director OF
emergency drouth relief, at Salt Lake
City. was to arrange relief measures
in far western states. Among the
subjects to be discussed was the pur-

cidents because the other driver o.
the pedestrian happens to be sober
and alert, are the most prejudiced
Of all, for they assume that because
they habitually drink and then drive
without accident, all this stuff about
alcohol retarding the reaction time is
q lot Of hooey. Such persons on a
jury are sure to sympathize with the
driver who has exercised his liberty
even at the price Of manning or kill
ing some one.
Frequently we see statistics Of the
frightful havoc wrought by automo-
bile traffic and pleas to drivers to
obey the law and the rules OF the
road and to be careful. Since the
law Is SO lenient in interpreting
drunken driving, and since so many
people like little drink themselves,
the automobile will doubtless long re-
main our most deadly weapon. In
stead Of urging drivers to be careful
we should beg them to be sober. Or
II that seems too much like interior
ence with their personal liberty, then
put 1t this way: No one Is quite fit to
take the responsibility Of driving
within an hour or two after a drink
or two. Many who do like drink
have an excellent rule:
Don't drink II you have to drive
home, or don't drive II you've had a
drink.

earlier ages than formerly was the
rule. Our habits as a people are tax
Ing their toll. The intensity Of life
In America has put q physical label
upon many persons.
At the same time, these individuals
claim to note q gradual deterioration
in the moral tone Of the people.
Speaking to q gathering Of life In
surance physicians, DR.. w. E. Thorn
ton Of the Lincoln National Life In
surance company. recently remarked
that the suicide curve, which reached
$4,000 cases In 1882. was due in large
part to self-inflicted murder in q
criminal attempt to steal double
indemnity monies for estates, bust
nesses or beneficiaries." He regards
large number Of accidental deaths
as distinctly suspicious In their ma
ture.
The immediate reaction to such q
condition Is normally one Of concern
for the future Of the nation. II we
are to become race Of physically
decrepit and morally indifferent peo-
pie, then indeed the future is bleak.
It must be remembered, however,
that good deal of the physical in
capacity mentioned has little or MOTH
ing to do with the productiveness OF
the individuals affected. A man with
any one Of the diseases named may
continue to function efficiently and
to serve his family and community
we'll up to the day Of his death. The
advance In medical science which has
lifted the average age has also made
this possible.
In pioneer days, when the ability
to do physical work was the measure
Of . mans capacity, this was not true,
but this Is machine age where
physical strength gives way before
mental acumen.
Comments on the declining moral
standard also are not as gloomy as
they seem. We have had similar OBJ
servations at all times and in all
ages. Every depression has produced
similar phenomena for very obvious
reasons. But the trend of society and
Of civilization has been forward and
there Is no good reason to expect a
change in that situation now.

asserted the autonomy OF the Chero-
kee Nation?
Tuesday he smelled bloodshed and
instruction and declared martial law
| in his capital, intimating that the
whole State might need it before
morning" He will yield his office
, only to force. Hot-headed Governors
!, are prone to declare martial law.
Such a declaration gives no new pow
er to the Governor, suspends no civil
rights. It Is only warning to the
citizen that the Executive has called
on the military power to help him
maintain law and order. He must
commit no acts that would make that
maintenance harder. The North Da-
kota emergency recalls Alfalfa Bills
twenty or more applications of this
medicine. Yesterday Mr.. Olson re-
voked Mr.. Langer's call for q special
session.
It is hard to understand the "high
judicial authority" quoted in an Asso-
ciated Press dispatch from Bismarck
as holding that Federal troops may be
brought into North Dakota las q re-
suit OF Mr.. Langer's defiance Of the
Supreme Court"-the Supreme Court
Of the State. What has the Federal
Government to do with that? In
dispute in State as to which official
or organ Of Government is de jure, the
Federal Government usually follows
the decision Of the State tribunal that
acts upon such disputes. No doubt
the Supreme Court of the United
States would follow the decision Of
the Supreme Court Of North Dakota;
but on what ground can the Federal
Government be asked for troops?
North Dakota has "a republican form
of government" Nobody is invading
1t except reporters. BY the use Of
National Guardsmen william the
Wanted is already protecting it
against domestic violence. His Legis-
lature Is not going to apply to the

Now this Is an assertion Of scien-

Owing to the large number Of
