Baseball in Russia

Not the least interesting of recent
dispatches from Russia Is the an
nouncement that the great American
game of baseball is beginning to take
hold in the land of the Soviets.
Already q national baseball league
has been founded. Nine provincial
cities have organized teams, and
eight more are being organized In
Moscow. A baseball department has
been established in the supreme phys
zeal culture department, and the game
Is being introduced into the Red
army.
It would be instructive to learn Just
why baseball catches on In some
countries and not in others. It has
swept Japan like wildfire. for In
stance: 1t Il as popular in Cuba as in
the United States and Canada, and
It is making Roadway in other Latin
American lands.
But Russia Is the only European
country. to date. to 60 for It. Why
should this be? Certainly such coun-
tries as Japan, America, Cuba, and
Russia have little In common. How
come they al share q fondness for
baseball2

"A Hero in Peace

Records of the United States army
list great number of heroes, and
nearly all of them are men who faced
great peril on the field Of battle. But
there are few who performed their
deeds Of heroism in time OF peace,
and one OF these was James Hide
brand, who died in Atlanta the other
day at the age Of 80.
Hildebrand was one of the buck
privates who, in 1901, volunteered to
aid Dr.. Walter Reed and his asso-
ciates in the research that made 1t
possible to bring yellow fever under
control. The scene was Havana,
where yellow fever was almost dis
rupting the army.
Some Of these men slept in beds
just vacated by men who had died Of
yellow fever, wore the dead mems
clothing, ate out of their utensils, and
made every other possible effort to
be infected.
The others lived in the most hy-
gienic surroundings, but submitted to
bites by fever-infected mosquitoes. In
this way it was learned definitely
that the mosquito transmits the in
lection, and control of the disease
was made possible.
Few men in our arn1y's history
dared more to accomplish greater
ends than did this man Hildebrand
and his buddies.

Millions for Relief

At the height Of the Civil war,
northern citizens learned with q
shock Of dismay that their govern
snent was spending 100000 q day
to carry on the fight. Such expen-
ditures. in that period, seemed astro-
nomical-too big for the mind to
grasp.
One wonders what those startled
citizens would have thought II they
had been told that eventually their
government would spend two and
one-half times that much merely to
take care Of the victims Of unem-
ployment. They would have looked.
probably, for the speedy end Of the
world.
Yet that Is just what is happening.
Relief Administrator Hopkins reveals
that federal relief rolls are now carry
ing $4,000. 900 persons, with daily ex-
penditures Tor food and clothing Of
s. 100000.
It is . tremendous, unheard-of load
this relief bill. It has to be carried
but it is terribly obvious that 1t can't
be carried forever.

Poor Chance for NOtOriety

The young woman in Missouri who
asked county sheriff to let her
spring the trap at the hanging Of a
condemned murderer, on the ground
that she wanted to know what it felt
like to hang a man, has given the ma
ton just about the most unpleasant
little morsel for contemplation that
anyone could imagine.
Offhand, one suspects that what
she really wanted was a bit Of no
toriety rather than the thrill of TAX
ing q human life. Volunteering to
perform an execution is one way of
getting your name in the paper; no
injustice can be done by supposing
that was her real aim.
But it is very hard to think Of any
other way OF doing it which would
have been quite as repugnant to the
instincts OF decent people.

The Difference
valley City Times-Record

valley City T1meS-Record)
The state will welcome the action
of the legislative advisory council in
its efforts to balance the budget for
state expenditures. Working in what
is apparently very sensible way,
this council has taken the figures of
the appropriations as passed by the
legislature and has set them against
the expected income so far as the
income can be foreseen. Then they
have surveyed the needs of the var
ious state enterprises. eliminating
outgo wherever possible until the
two sets of figures are brought some
where near each other. Finally they
have allowed for possible upturn in
returns from agriculture and bust
ness, SO that there is q possibility of
getting enough taxes to supply the
funds for all reasonable requests Of
the various state departments.
One has only to remember what
happened two years ago along this
same line to realize what q differ
ence there Is now as compared with
then. Two years ago we were in
formed that certain institutions would
be cNt to the bone because the people
Of those communities had failed to
vote as the car wished them to do.
And this threat was followed by ac-
ton. The taxpayers who furnished
the money had absolutely no con-
sideration in the matter, Bill LANCER
acting as judge, jury and prosecuting
attorney. Now We see the heads of
various state departments called in
and invited to look the dilemma
squarely in the face. The needs OF
all are put together on the one side
and the possible sources Of income
on the other. Then the necessary
cuts are arranged with full regard fo1
necessary economies. 1t IS welcome
change.
Governor Wexford is to be regarded
as the man who has had the gooc
sense to bring this about. He begar
1t by the appointment Of his super.
committee Of legislators, drawn from
all factions, charged with the duty o.
arranging workable program
Now that the total of appropriation
Is higher than the income justifies

Mrs. w. A. D. offered the follow

Lie on the back and slowly Lift

Some victims OF these cramps find
1t necessary to get out Of bed and
stand or walk about the floor on their

Others remain In bed and press the
toes firmly against the footboard Of
the bed for few seconds.

Fair and Proper

u was q fair and proper agree
r,Ant which Governor Wexford and
hi fiscal advisers worked out in con-
ference with state institution heads
On North Dakota's budget problem.
N the first place, ii puts the Job
Of keeping down expenses in better
hands than would be the case II the
governor were to veto certain items
In the appropriations. The institu-
ttonal heads are better equipped to
make adjustments than any executive
could possibly be.
In the second place, 1t permits them
to share In any prosperity which
would follow q good crop. II we get
. good harvest this year the state
will be well able to afford the taxes
which must be imposed to meet the
budget as created by the legislature.
70 cut the appropriations now would
create ridiculous situation in the
event that good times return to us.
i is regrettable that the same ar
yangement could not have been made
with regard to needed buildings at
Jamestown and Grafton, for which
appropriations were made, but the
danger there Is that political pres
sure might force construction regard
less Of the taxpayers condition.
One thing about the arrangement
is reassuring and that Is the manner
In which it was done. Had he cared
to do so, the governor could have put
on a show, accompanying a lusty
swinging of the veto axe with much
chest humping. It IS to his credit
mat he preferred . more dignified
sensible and statesmanlike method.
