There la some talk of establishing
the commission form of government
here, which mesns that the excess
city hells will have to be torn down
and a commission house erected on
the spot. The councllmen would be
awapped for commissioners. There
should bs enoueh commissioners, so
everybody who feels like running for
something, could have his lust and
Itch for office eatlsfted. In any event,
the dearth of anything to fight about
will be removed. Maps have been
drawn, ahowlng how the new ayatem
will work. If It works. They are Just
as stupefying as the maps showing
the effect that the tariff on goose
frees haa on chlpmunka.
The nubbin of the whole plan la
the City Manager. One would have
to he appointed. Thla burg haa 16

They not alone claim the ability to
manage the city, but frequently take
hand In straightening out the na
tion, and the lands beyond the seas.
Of course. If duly named city mana
ger, he would confine his efforts to
the corporate limits, only, except when
the president or Mussolini sent a per
sons letter asking for a little help.
And, this mucja should be under

allowed to go away to a City Manager

ROCKFORD, 111., Am,'. 17.
The New York Herald-Tribune
is printing a complete steno
graphic rerort of the Mayor
Walker hearing, covering
several full pages in each issue.
Too bad the people of the
country couldn't read this de
tailed transcript. The large
press services are obliged to be
impartial and draw no conclu
sions in their condensed wire
reports. But those who read
the full reports, have conclu
sions forced upon them.
Conclusion No. 1: Jimmy
Walker is both a grafter and a
four-flusher. Conclusion No. 2:
Governor Roosevelt is handling
this investigation, very capably
and very fairly. The present
writer is convinced Governor
Roosevelt-will remove Mayor
Walker, probably before elec
tion, and by doing so will gain
more votes than he will lose.
For after all, the people of
this country are fundamentally
honest' and fair, and this re
fers to the people of New Tork
state. True the Broadway
touts and Tammany hoelers are
all for Jimmy he is cheered
and showered with roses where-
over he goes, but they don't
represent ALL the people of
New York state, nor all the
people of New York city nor
for that matter all the members
of Tammany Hall for there
are some very fine citizens in
that organization, as opp
to vice and corruption as In
vestigator Seabury himself. .
Governor Roosevelt is an in
telligent man. He realizes all
this. ' It is inconceivable to us,
in view of the evidence, that
the democratic nominee, will be
influenced by either the Tam
many shyster lawyers, or the
professional politicians and re
fuse to throw the unsavory
Jimmy out on his ear, where
he belongs. And for such action
Governor Roosevelt, regardless
of prirty, will deserve all praise
Which leads us naturally to
an opinion expressed in this
column ' several month's ago,
Wijh President Hoover on one
ticket and Governor Roosevelt
on the other, this oountry is not
going to the demnition bow
wows no matter who is elected.
For many reasons, which we
regard as important ones our
preference is for President
Hoover and a continuation of
the policies and organization
he has perfected. But if Boose
velt should win, the present
writer is not going to lose- any
sleep over it. He isn't in any
sense a "big man", but he is
an honest one, and assuming
his health will hold out, he
would undoubtedly, keep Uncle
Sam from committing jany dis
astrous follies during the next
four years.

wasted it.
During the past few weeks
two prominent Rockfod resi
dents have died and for the
same reason. One a former

ian in the state; the other the
leading woman politician of

something wrong ALL OVER

There are far too many fa
talities in this socalled minor
operation of appendectome.
The various medical associa
tions in our opinion, should

Rather warm on these fertile
Nebraska plain, today, but the
human organism, with its mar
velous thermostatic arrange
ments, maintaining the same
blood temperature on the equa
tor and in the Arctic, adjusts
itself to heat or cold.
The dining car of this Union
Pacifio train, artificially refrig
erated is almost as cold as one
of the "chilling rooms" in Chi
cago's packing houses.
Ten thousand centuries ago men
lesrned to control fire, to warm
themselves and cook their food. They
worshipped fire. Incorporated It In
their religions. It plays a part In
some ot them today.
Now men learn to cool themselves
with electricity as they warmed
themselves a million years ago, with
burning logs.
It would surprise our savage an
cestors of the caves that shuddered
when they saw the 'lightning, to
know that their descendants use the
lightning now to cool a dining car
and keep meat from decaying. For

Professor Sweeney of Iowa. State
College tells chemists assembled In
Denver that science may turn out to
be a Frankenstein monster. "Na
tions fall when population becomes
too crowded In a small area," aays
the professor. And, says he, feeding
and clothing congested population is
a problem.
Modern production could feed ten
times as many people as tAere are on
earth. The atate of Texas Intensively
cultivated would feed th earth's pop
ulation, clothe and house them and
that entire population, by the way,
could atand at one time on Staten
Island In New Tork harbor. The
flying machine, taking men from
their work to the distant hill top
residences, will soon settle the crowd
ing problem.
The old fashioned woman, with old

The Omaha Bee-News, intelligent
newspaper which prlnta this column,
says that when 1886 women of Ne
braska were asked to name their fa
vorite song, their first choice was
"The Little Brown Church in the
Vale," second choice waa "When .You

choice, "Carry Me Back to Old Vir

how many husbands and wives with
white hair sing "When You and I
Were Young. Maggie." with no
thought of changing partners.
Frederick O. Bonfils, owner of the
Denver Poet, another Intelligent naws-
psper that prints this column, tele
grape this: "In my opinion it's a
cinch for Hoover." And backs his
opinion wltii reasons. Colonel Bon

LEMONS AND S
An osteopath contributes th
fol-
lowing Interesting report:
For year I was unable to eat
strawberries on
account of de
veloping a se
vere oxalurla.
Th troubl
oazn only in
the sum mer
time during
the strawberry
season. Sev
eral years ago
I learned that
by taking lem
on Juice I could eat all the straw
berries I wished without any
trouble.
The theory Is that the acid of
the citrus fruit combines with
the calcium to prevent the for
mation of calcium oxalate crya
tals. It Is said the citrates throw
calcium out of action by forming
a solubl double salt.
Whether the chemistry Is right
I don't know, but I do know that
some of my patients ss well aa
myself now eat all the atraw
berrlea we wish without suffer
ing unplessant effecta, almply by
taking our lemonade with the
same meal. It Is a delightful
beverage on a hot summer day.
This is not an original concep
tion of mine. I read It In an old
book, "Physiology Principles," by
W. L. Brown (Wm. Wood & Co.,)
which Z have had for many years.
I submit this In the hope that
It. may benefit some of your
many readers.
(Signed with the doctor's name.)
Here la one oolleague who believes
in oxalurla.
I am not prepared to assert, In my
usual arbitrary way, that there Is
such thing, but at best oxalurla Is an
obscure condition If not wholly hypo
thetical.
By oxalurla the doctors mean the
presence of crystals of cslclum oxa
late In the urine. Normally the ox
alic acid content of. the urine Is
small, less than one-halt grain a day.
There may be 10 times as much ox
alic as that In one good helping of
splnsoh, asparagus, rhubarb, or even
strawberries. But most of us can
take care of that and more oxalic
without any trouble. If certain Indi
viduals experience trouble from eat
ing such foods, it Is natural to Infer
that the trouble la from oxalic, but
this has not been proved, so far as
I can learn, by the simple experi
ment of administering to such a sen
sitive individual' the grain or two of
calcium oxalate without his knowl
ence hunt creatures too small to be
seen, that, cause our diseases.
Hitherto Industry has occupied it
self with gigantic machinery, loco
motives, dynamos, turbines.
As the release of power in the atom
approaches, we may change to study
ing the infra-mlcroscoplo machinery
of the molecule and atom.
Thirty years ago Nikola Testa, sit
ting In the old Detmonlco restaurant
at 26th street and Fifth avenue. New
York, held a wine glass In his hand
aaylng, "If I could release the power
locked up In the atoms of this glass,
I would have energy enough to run a
locomotive many times around the
earth."
What Imagination told Tesla, sci
ence la proving. Practical use of
atomic energy Is doubtless far away.
When It comes it will revolutionize
human society.
A few words concerning Zabala,
amazing 19-year-old Argentine win
ner of the marathon.
W,hen he finished his run of more
than 38 miles, beating the world's
picked runners,' reporters described
him "staggering across the line ex
hausted." Exhaustion had nothing to do with
it. When the race was over. Zabala
said to W. G. Clark of Los Angeles:
"Wnen ly ssw that I was winning
that race such a wave of emotion
swept over me that I could hardly
run, and actually staggered." Emo
tion Is more powerful than fatigue.
When Newton .had nearly finished
calculations that were to verify and
establish for all time his formula of
the law of gravitation, and perceived
that the calculatlona were coming out

tated to continue, and called an as
sistant to finish th calculations for
him.

One sufferer in whose ease 1 was

were diagnosed as oxalurla, though

much oxalic rsdlcle. But the at

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
We Can't Help Faulting.
Is It cowardly to faint over the
fact that you have a alster terribly
1U In the hospital, or when you get
news that some one has had a bad
accident? Is It cowardice that makes
women faint, or Is It some peculiar
physical reaction different from men?
a. 8.
Answer Cowardice or courage has
nothing to do with falntness or faint
ing.- I don't know why women are
more likely to faint then men or
whether they are. I dont even know
why anybody faints we can only
speculate about the nature of such
reaction.
Diathermy Pleased.
Followed your advice and had my
tonsils removed by diathermy. I am
so well pleased I want to pass this
on to others. I don't think I would
have mustered the courage to have
them cut out, yet I suppose I would
have ben compelled to submit to it
tt there were no alternative, as my
tonsils were affecting my hearing.
am grateful for your kind advice.
Mrs. L. M. 8.
Answer The diathermy method Is
now well established as an alterna
tive for the major operation in most
esses, and particularly In cases where
the major operation Is too great a
risk. The peerwees of the medical
profession, the bras sspeciallsts and
the old fogies, have ceased their' ef
forts to prevent thla method from
coming into the popularity It de
serves. But we had to call 'em worse
nsmesa than these to show them the
error of their bloody way.

Speaks for Farmers.
To the Editor:

ex-pump manufacturer who had been
forced out of that business In the
city sad hsd to flee Into the coun

out the possibility of a doubt, in
must have eaten some kind of pois
onous weed which caused him to go

would accept the challenge offered
him and rear up on his farmer dig
nity and peck the gentleman'a artru-
ment tuU ot holes. Since he haa not
I don ao I wish to speak In defense
of the fellows that are of th dust
of th earth.
This pump manufacturer claims the
average farm to be a paying proposi
tion from 'all polnta of the compass,
providing on adheres to the prin
ciple of work end good Judgment.
We admit there are a few case where
farmers hsve msde a good showing,
but It will be found some peculiarity
is more responsible then anything
else, and Is theexcept!on rather than
th rule. For Instance, It the w.fe
Is capable of generating a little more
horsepower than the average, thereby
being able to swing a grubbing hoe
for six or eight hours a day. besides
doing the housework, or milk 15 to
30 cows dally, adding 1.000 or so
to the bank account, which would
otherwise go for help, that might
mean th difference between eucceie
and fallur.
Then, too, equipment . count for
considerable. Our opponent has al
theee which he has paid for out of
another business that really produced
money. I don't think the best far
mer's wife that ever looked through
a collar would make much of a show
ing in the hay field after rubbing
out the family laundry on a wash
board. If th farmer has all the
labor-saving conveniences he should
have you can gamble he also hss a
mortgsge so Isrge It would choke hl
most ravenous mule.
Consult ;he statistics on farm In
debtedness snd you will no doubt be
surprised. But do not blsme farmers
too severely. They are human enough
to crave the things of life that civil
ized people have. Besides, the money
lending Industry Is one of the cor
nerstones of our system. The farmer
should come In for hi ahare of praise
for keeping this noble Institution
thriving.
No business man would admit, ex
tent for DroDssanda purposes, that
a business that wlU not pay wages,

running expenses and interest on the
capitalization, la very sound. Yet our
city farmer admit as much when he
said he might not have been able to
make It If he had had a mortgage
on which to pay Interest.
No, Mr. Man-Up-a-Tree. don't awal-
Iow all the dope you read in the cap
italist press, without at least a grain
of salt. We like the outdoor life and
the diversified work. Why else do
you suppose we continue to labor 16
hours for the wage one should re
ceive for eight? If It were not tor
this we fear our country would soon
be '"sold abort" on foodstuff. The
average farmer who doesn't compel
the hired man to do his thinking
slong with the other chores, will re
quire more than autosuggestion to be
convinced that he has his pockets
full of money. BERT HARR.
