Still Longing to Rule

European affairs these days are
somber and discouraging enough
heaven knows; but every now and
then the needed comic touch Is sup
piled BY one or the other Of tho pre-
tenders to tho various unoccupied
thrones.
The latest affair Of this kind comes
from Prince Napoleon. who feels that
by rights he should be emperor Of
tho French. This 2l-year-old de-
scendant Of the great Bonaparte lives
safely In Switzerland, and most
Frenchmen are not aware Of his ex-
istence; but he has just issued q
manifesto asking my people" to &C.
cept another Napoleonic regime. and
he has drawn up an elaborate pro-
gram for tho authoritarian democ-
racy" which would result.
France has another pretender. in
cidentally-a descendant Of the Bour-
hons. Every European country which
used to have = king and has none
now has its pretenders.
Most OF them are taken seriously
by no one but themselves: but their
own extreme seriousness Is great
enough to make up for this neglect
and, incidentally. to be pretty funny.

Man Still Responsible

A st. Louis man has just learned
that the old common law presump-
ton that q man is responsible for the
acts Of his wife can still be invoked.
A st. Louis relief worker went to
call on family which had been on
relief for some time. and an argu-
ment developed. Husband and wife
began calling her names, and before
long the wife got angry enough to
sail in and start clouting her on the
head.
Presently the husband and the wife
were arraigned in court. Tho Judge
refused to send the wife to jail, be-
cause she had four children to look
after; instead, he gave the husband
= 60-day term, although the husband
had not lifted his hand during the
set-to.
Here Is an old-but-new slant on
the ancient question Of husbandly re-
sponsibility which, II generally adopt
ed. might give . good many husbands
food for sober reflection.

Americans Are Becoming
Articulate
Hettinger County Herald

N12CtU4AASCA N<OO41ty 4o1NJ
American people, who seemingly
have been exceptionally submissive
during recent years have taken to
speaking their minds. q healthy sign
Of rugged individualism.
Note tho trend. The New Deal has
been taken very much for granted.
It seemed tho people would say no
to nothing proposed by the admin
istration for the good Of America.
Then came the World Court question
and Americans at once became ar
ticulate. Father Coughlin went on
the air, newspapers spoke out loud In
print and the people said 1t with
kilograms. The senate failed to con.
firm tho world court.
Note the conditions right here at
home. Some IS New England bust
ness men met here recently to con.
denim the dilatory tactics OF North
Dakota house members. Groups Of
business men from New England. Mott
and Regent met at Mott to tell the
Republican county committee they
did not appreciate the action Of the
Republican representative in Bis
marck. Like action was taken In all
parts Of North Dakota. kilograms
poured into Bismarck. and it was
noted that the house Of representa-
tives went to work.
This week at Mott . delegation Of
about IS good citizens Of Berry town.
ship appeared before the county
FERA board. They had no com.
plant to register against the board
but they did insist that their own
neighbors, on relief, cease chiseling
on the federal and county govern
ments. They insisted that men sup
posed to be working on q crawling
project, work instead Of sitting about
q camp fire in the gravel pit. The
men were very courteous but they
made q djguified demand that men
with teams, drawing Is cents an
hour, should do some work In pay
ment.
Right here at home people are be-
ginning to speak out against abuses.
There are those who are beginning
to ask why several able bodied young
men, who seem always to be able to
secure too much whiskey. resort to re-
Lief to get bread to feed themselves
and their own. There are protests
also that In this enlightened age In
capable old midwives should not be
allowed longer 70 cause the loss Of
life Of children, the loss Of health
to mothers. There are protests
against one who pays starvation
wages to help and does not hesitate
70 blast lives by false charges.
