Cut The Weeds

Weeds mar the beauty of nature in a manner sim
liar to that where we find evil thoughts %corrupting
the clean mind and If given an opportunity to grow
and mature both will eventually bring pain and suffer
ing to the man who sees and appreciates beauty as
of life.
Plentywood can be a pretty town and could be
known as such over the orthwest With a profuse
summer such as we have had, weeds are given a won
derful opportunity to grow and thrive and as they are
allowed to grow and thrive in a city where beauty is
paramount there is immediate evidence OF backsliding.
Weeds are unhealthy. To weeds can be attribut-
ed several Of the severe human ailments that visit
mankind only when these pests are at their best.
Weeds, in their rank growth, form hold-alls and are
refuge for pollution and vermin that would not exist
in harmful quantity were the mother host eliminated.
Weeds never make for beauty. Impressions are
formed that where they do exist care and effort would
have placed in their stead tracts of beauty-or at
least tracts Of clean, open w-holesomeness.
Weeds are a menace to city beauty and with this
idea uppermost in mind every citizen blessed with
even the smallest realization of civic pride should
ever be willing to make possible eradication OF this
ugly menace.
In Plentywood it can be said that the officials
are not to be placed entirely responsible for a weedy
city condition. Seeds will soon be spread for another
menacing crop next year. If each individual property
owner and land lessee would do his or her bit ON the
property controlled there would be little left for civic
control. In most instances a few minutes-or at
best at few h~ours-would eliminate In whole or In
part-these eyesores that mar beauty.

EXPERIMENTAL MEDICINE Is
TRtUMPHING

Nearly all of the research work In
disease and its cure Is carried on In
laboratories upon animals. The an
mails are treated In a humane man
ner, and are not the victims OF need
less sufferings, as the opponents of
vivisection would lead US to believe.
DR.. Simon F1exner. the head of
the Rockefeller Institute, says,
There are still many hard problems
Immediately ahead to which answers
have not yet been obtained. What
is TO be said Of cancer. Bright's dis
ease. and disease OF the heart and
blood vessels? / believe that pro-
gress is being made. The goal
seems, however, still distant. There
is but n way to bring that goal
within reasonable hope OF being
reached finally and that Is by con-
tinued, unremitting, unobstructed
study by the experimental method"
Plant and animal pathology are
being diligently studied. Many ans
wers have been sought and found
since 1870. At that time surgery
was so dangerous that it was almost
fatal to cut beneath the skin. A
few surgeons r living who re-
member the horrors Of pus infec-
tons following wounds. Nothing
was known OF aseptic surgery, or
the part that bacteria played in dis
ease. and the injecting of wounds.
P1steur and Koch discovered the
germ nature OF wound infections,
and Lister, the Scotch surgeon,
pointed the way to aseptic surgery.
Since then thousands Of lives have
been saved because of the appl.ca-
ton of this knowledge by the medi-
cal profession.
The present perfection (asepsis in
SURGERY was only arrived at by de-
grees, and much study. Only effort,
persistence, and faith finally over
came the opposition, and the germ
theory of the infection of wounds Is
now acknowledged by the whole
world. 1t was In the last decades of
the nineteenth century when the
bacteria that produce tuberculosis,
d%iphtheria, meningitis, typhoid few
err. and some other scourges were
discovered. This led to a search
for immunizing agencies which has
been remarkably successful. In
1894 before diptheria antitoxin was
known, 1863 out of 100000 OF the
population died Of this disease. In
1892 the deaths from this cause
were 3 per 100000. 1t could be
wiped out along with small pox and
some other contagious diseases, II
parents were sufficiently intelligent
to have their children immunized
against 1t.

side. The court will yet give its
opinion on the processing taxes, the
Wagner Industrial Disputes act, and
any social security measure, utility
holding company, coal bill, iva and
low cost housing programs that
may become statutes.
After much confusion the lineup
becomes clearer. The Republicans
will go it alone, putting their faith
in old time conservatism, and the
Democrats will attempt a combina-
ton of the liberal and radical
strength in the West and South.
The idea OF a third party among the
extreme radicals is fading but In It's
place ONE the distinct threat OF q
conservative coalition although the
conservative Democrats are expect
ed to go it alone, If they do not sup
port the President, rather than Join
hands with the Republican party.
Enough votes in such an independ-
ent movement might elect a Repub-
lican candidate.
Mr.. Roosevelt's activities since
the NRA decision has dissipated the
left-wing movement although giving
support to conservative organization
against him. While many opponents
thought that the decision had left
the President groggy he put On a
burst of activity that amazed OBJ
servers, eliminating in his unex-
pected demand for legislation that
would compel wealth to bear a
greater share Of the burdens OF gov
eminent. Even when proposed, this
was looked upon as a gesture but
recent weeks have shown 1t to be
a real demand which indicates a def
mite and final break with organized
business groups, which his friends
think have been fighting him under
cover before open hostilities were
| considered wise.
In fact, barring the ~disaffection of
Conservative Democrats, the pros
pect is that the country will see a
straightout fight between the two
! major parties, with n %espOusing a
liberal side and the other the old
| conservative attitudes. In such a
campaign the people of the country
would have the issue thrust square
ly before them and their ballots
might decide the future urs OF
the republic for many years.
The Democrats undoubtedly face
the loss of some stalwarts Of the
past, who can hardly go with the
Presidents program in view OF their
ut~terances, but the picture OF pres
ent politics does not end without
placing on the screen some evidence
of Republican troubles. The progress
sive element OF the party is not ex'
pected to line up with anything like
the Old Guard and Is generally ex-
pected to back Mr.. Roosevelt, just
as most OF them did in 1892. More
over, some party leaders are widely
separated upon Just what should be
done. This Is emphasized by the
recent speech Of Robert H. Lucas
the Kentuckian who served as form
err President Hoover's close pOlitica,
adviser. He delivered an unexpect
ed attack upon alleged Wall Street
domination OF the party. He de
clares himself a liberal, seeking t.
wrest control OF the party from Wal
Street and return 1t to the rank anc
file. Unless this is done, he says
the party In the campaign will bt
"about as unpopular as a polecat a
a lawn fete."

Here, quite as she expected,
Elaine had trouble with Teddy. He
suddenly remembered that she was
his fiance-or at least on the verge

Her feet ached. Her heart was

deep and quiet as the river itself.

in a conciliatory way at Teddy, 7

TWO miles from the little port of
l. Palos, in south Spain, stands
the Monastery of Santa Maria de la
Rabida, where for more than six
years Christopher Columbus toiled
and planned for his voyage to
America.
The great navigator arrived at La
Rabida with his young son in 1895
and remained there until 1892,
when Queen Isabella finally listened
to his pleas for aid. Even then, it
was through the help and interven-
ton of the Franciscan monks at the
monastery that he gained the
queens support.
Spain issued two stamps showing
this monastery, in connection with
an entire Columbus commemorative
set, in 1880. One is shown here.

Few disagree on the Importance Of
such figures as Ed Morgan. one-time

The terrible toll of prohibition still
dogs the life of honest men in Min

If a stranger wishes to listen to
gossip he can be overwhelmed with
the most extraordinary stories. Not
the least revolving is the case of the
Rev. K. B. Birkeland, Swedish
clergyman from the old country
with a small fortune, who crossed
a few dangerous individuals over
crooked oil deal.
No Respect Even for Pastors
The Rev. Mr.. Birkeland, upright.
puritanical, well into his 70S. was
kidnapped. taken to an apartment
and permitted to die. For four days
he was given neither food nor wa
ter. When he unexpectedly died,
the mob built up a strong suppose
tious case for the press and public
that the old clergyman has gone of
his own volition to the fat for i'm
moral purposes.
His son has dedicated his life to
the exposure of the circumstances
surrounding his fathers death, as
a labor of filial devotion. He in
vited trial for criminal libel in at
tacking Gov. Olson, who then was
prosecutor. as an accessory after the
murder. Young Mr.. Birkeland was
acquitted.
The stories of gangland's didoes,
brutalities and immunitieS which
any casual visitor to Minneapolis
hears from all ranks are, not to
overstate, shocking.
