Identifying Party Labels
(Mandan Pioneer)

Many newspaper publishers ir
North Dakota stand to be corrected
in referring to the recent Devils Lake
convention as an II. v. A." conven-
tion, which it was not. It was a con-
vention Of Republicans, independent
Republicans q contrasted with Non.
partisan Leaguers who have always
registered In the primaries under the
Republican column.
The old Independent Voters asso-
ciation was composed Of Republicans
and Democrats alike who saw the
need Of q coalition Of forces to com.
bat the socialistic doctrines OF Town.
ley, Walter Thomas Mills. and theii
ilk who were ravaging the state. The
IVA accomplished the recall o1
Frazier, Lemke and Hagen who com.
posed the industrial commission.
This year following the election ol
President Roosevelt, the Democrats
have aligned themselves with theil
own party and have nominated . full
state ticket. It was to preserve the
party organization Of the Republican
party g distinguished from the Non.
partisan League, to uphold thG
sacredness Of the constitution Of the
United States and the original consti-
tuition Of the state Of North Dakota
from the assaults Of the socialist,
and communists that this convention
WAS called and labelled Independent
Republicans. It has no more con.
nection with the now defunct IVA
than has the Democratic party. which,

SOME FURTHER LUCUBRATIONS
ON LUBRICATION

Notwithstanding much dilettant
study I have never discovered Just
why an automobile goes when you
press the button. I shall never get
over feeling astonisl,ed and delighted
whenever sec one start off. Once !
bought some books about automobiles
and studied them diligently, but It
was all 70 confusing. Then I took to
hanging around garages and watching
mechanics take 'em apart and still !
got no light on it. Now and then !
timidly asked questions. but ! soon
found that would not do for they OBJ
viously thought was queer-full Of
dope, probably. So I gave up trying
to understand what makes them 60.
For this reason ! have unbounded
admiration for the chap who can just
listen or push the car about a bit or
drive it few yards and diagnose In
stantly what's wrong with 1t. But
there's plenty Of quackery In more
trades than one. When my car Is not
running right ! am precisely in the
position OF the average individual who
feels that his digestion Is out Of kilter
OF his nerves are all shot. I'm easy
meat for the unscrupulous expert.
Take the matter Of fabrication for
example. II heed only the teachings
or advice Of the quacks who profit
on my credulity this item is going to
cost me quite q bit. On the other
hand, II I listen to competent en-
gineers who have nothing to sell to
me I can effect . saving ana still
have good fabrication.
People who depend on the instruc-
ton and advice Of vendors Of lubrt-
cants or physics are quite likely to
have morbid sessions which cost
plenty from year to year, not to men
ton the effect of physics on health.
The fad or fashion has swung from
pills to mineral oil, and then to agar
agar (seaweed and lately to psyllium
seed, following more or less the vogue
Of these things among the leading
quacks In our regular professional
ranks. Bran has been incorporated in
the mash, too, sometimes with ordi-
nary foods, sometimes mixed with
agax-agar and even with mineral oil
In various so-called health" foods.
All of these new-fangled "aids" to
nature" have been exploited because
the general public knew little about
them and readily believed whatever
the big shots pleased to say.
Plain plebian flax seed, which in
my opinion Is the best and least OBJ
jectionAble internal lubricant one can
use, has been scorned by the wiseacre
public because the public was fairly
familiar with this ancient household
remedy and could not believe It has
any virtue for such . purpose.
A few Of our leading quacks still
utter warnings against the use Of such
seeds in certain cases, for instance
ulcer OF stomach, duodenum or colon.
In such cases the best course Is to
follow the advice Of the attending
physician.

railroad was Dickinson, so miles away.
In 1911 he entered the law school
Of the University Of North Dakota
but on the death Of his brother, T. A.
Thoresen. in 1912, he returned to take
charge OF the family's farm In Otter

The Bicycle Comes Back

Don't be surprised II movement
to make provision for the bicyclist
on our highways gains such promi-
nence In the next year or two as to
force revision Of our present road
plans.
The foundation for such q develop
ment was laid the other day when the
League Of American Wheelmen was
revived in New York with. OF all
things, = vice president Of the Gen.
eral Motors Corporation as its presi-
dent.
The idea is to restore to popularity
= form of exercise which once loom
ed large on the American scene.
The original l.. A. W., as 1t came
to be known played, in its day, a part
comparable to that of the American
Automobile association. Under It's
auspices thousands Of men and boys
took part In contests and races
throughout the country and cycling
competitions were common. At that
time, Of course, the bicycle was re-
garded as big advance in personal
transportation and, quite naturally.
attained social significance with the
development Of the bicycle built for
two"
The early League was founded In
1880 and continued in existence un-
til 1926, when 1t succumbed with the
death Of Abbott Bassett, long time
secretary.
It was the father OF the good roads
movement which later was taken up
and developed by the motoring
groups.
One Of the big items on the new
cycling program u to reclaim . part
Of the highways for the use Of
cyclists, now faced with the danger
Of meeting motor cars travelling at q
mile-a-minute clip. Also, 1t hopes to
re-establish In the modern mind Z
higher regard for q wholesome sport.
Many man would ride bicycle to-
day did he not fear the ridicule OF
his neighbors, whose prejudices have
been nurtured on the gasoline age.
