The year that is now in its twelfth month . has been one of progress and achieve- ment. This city faces the future with a determination to continue its growth unhampered by an element which re- fuses to admit that the order of things has changed. The Tribune has had occasion from time to time to comment upon the flegal sale’‘of liquor and’ the toler ance of certain characters within our confines, Under a lax administration oo ¢ ° ° ° “ ° ° ¢ ¢ ¢ ¢ i of, the prohibition Jaws, conditions ‘shay, reachéd’ @ state Hodying wittiout delay.’ steps. should be taken th, the. ‘regular legal: chanuels, that:‘need rem- \S Atle (states .eittornayts ‘office, the sheriff and the city police administration. ‘Since the recent agitation in the Tribune, some improvement is noted in the handling of police court cases. The ‘attendance of City Atorney Mc- Curdy each day at the sessions of the court’ has had beneficial results. Some concerted action, however, in- volving the co-operation of state, county and city authorities is neces- sary to rid Bismarck of bootleggers’ and blindpiggers. An effective weap- on has been placed in Attorney Gen- eral Linde’s hand in the ratification of the bootlegger law at the recent election. That he will use it when the law is finally certified, there seems little qquestion. The Tribune has no sympathy with the selfconstituted reformers or agents of law enforcement leagues, ‘who operate through private sources. Anticipating’a clean-up in Bismarck, these gentlemen have descended up- on us with all their paraphernalia; their ‘Sunday meetings; the usual “pussy-footing’; the usual demands for newspaper publicity and the usual Playing upon the credulity of some excellent church people, who seem to forget that the proper agencies for law enforcement are the legal ones, not the self-appointed Catos who make a/ business of and iprofit by “re- forming.”*” To all appeals for publicity from this class the Tribune is deaf. Even if their hearts are right; their meth- ods are wrong. We elect public of- ficials; we support them through the Payment of taxes and they take oaths to uphold the laws; not some, ‘but all the statutes. The place to begin is with these hired servarts of the people. It is Poor policy to delegate the functions of states attorney, sheriff and police Officers to the “paid reformers” who pursue the uplift movement for so much per day. Bismarck will never have law en- forcement until it insists that its pub- lic officials elected and sworn to en- force the law do their duty. It is futile to manufacture a moral wave POOR WOLF HUNTING. Anyone from the effete east’ who came to the vicinity of Mandan and Bismarck with their sleds and other equipment for a wolf hunt on Thanks- giving was disappointed. If they heeded the weather dope of Forrest Crissey as given in “The Hired Man —His Kick” and expected to see drifts of snow on the streets and icicles hanging from the roofs of our public buildings, they had their ideas of the veracity of the Saturday Ev- ening Post rudely shattered. What did, they find? The golf links in full blast. Paving operations on the business streets, A fine, balmy, spring-like atmos- phere, which coaxed many to rid themselves of heavy wraps. Mr. Crissey’s articles hereafter should be run in the funny column of the esteemed weekly. Probably this Palm Beach weather will hang on until Christmas and we can invite Forrest to play several rounds on the golf links. But as for wolf hunting and sled- ding over mountainous drifts of snow, Forrest will have to communi- cate with the Arctic regions. NEEDS NEW LEADER. Carranza hag “decided” to hold his office as First Chief of Mexico, de- spite hig announced candidacy for the presidency. Howeéver, he states that if he “regards it as advisable,” he will resign before the’ election is held. Right now, by resigning as first chief, Carranza might so. strengthen himself with the people that his election would be fairly certain. Be- sides, such action would. discredit Villa and, to resort to slang, “cut the ice out from under his feet” most ef- fectually. “Villa has repeatedly stated that if Carranza would resign, the revolution would end. If Carranza has the pledge of loy- alty from his lieutenants which he claims, and has the confidence in them which he asserts, he’should' be safe in placing the government in their hands for a short sixty days or so. Villa is gaining strength tremendous- ly, having taken Parral, surrounded Chihuahua so that it will probably fall soon, and is reported about to oc- cupy ‘Torreon: ; Al! northern “Mexico may, be again in his control at, an ear-| ‘ly date. If-Carranza was a ‘wise man, instead of a ‘self-willed, arrogant big- ot, he would yidld:to the advice of his friends, ¢ompromise with Villa by agreeing.to resign upon.a ‘cessation of hostilities, and leave the choice of a president, up to the people at‘an unin- fluenced, election... He, would: prove himself a real patriot and a good chief ‘by so doing. But Carranza is not a wise man, so he will probably, stick around as first chief until he goas the way of his many, predecessors. BACK FROM THE FARM! A few months ago Mary ‘Smith was saying she'd never, never go back to the wicked city, with its noise ‘and dirt and cruelty. bs -But now Mary Smith fs back in Chicago, although “Uncle Jimmy” Pankhurst and “Aunt Louisa” did their level best to get her to stay, even increasing the! $10;000 legacy under promise of which the young Chicago stenographer left the. Loop a year or so ago to go and live with them on country acres, The farm became too dull for Ma- ry; the rooster’s crowing in the dewy morn, the squealing of the pigs as they fought for their evening meal of swill, lost their first ‘charm and ‘became mere distractions, no sweet- er than the rattle of the “L” trains as they disturbed the slumbers of the city’s multitudes oft in the _ stilly night. ‘And why did Mary leave? She is hiding ‘now in Chicago—hiding to avoid publicity—but this is what she told some of her new-found friends at Amboy, before returning to the city by the lake: “It was too lonely. Everyone was kind and generous, and Uncle Jimmy and Aunt Louisa were lovable: But there was the city hunger always gnawing, the craving. for the rush and glamor of big things being done in a hurry, and the placid, even-go- ing life of the country could never supply it.” ‘What was it, after all, but the call of home? The great, ugly, vibrating city was Mary Smith’s home. And there is nothing mean in the smoky sunsets of Chicago as viewed from a rushing “L” train, in the hurrying crowds of the dingy west side, or the parade of fashion on ‘Michigan boule- vard!

Even poverty, in the city’s teem- jing tenements, goes hand-in-hand side of the legally constituted offi-| with laughter,-and jest often marches cials for relief.

Sweden must be congratulated on having been able to complete the work at a time in which she is great- ly harrassed by a war in which she has no part. Many. a Swede in this ocuntry will be delighted to learn that Lake Wener now has an outlet to the attegat. and thus to the Nofth sea, and wil! make a point of having a look at: the canal if he revisit his na- tive land. The Jake is the thitd larg- est in Europe, having an area of 2,408 square miles, the northern half in Svealand and the other in Gothland, 150 feet above sea level. P} It has been long connected by cana! and smaller lakes with the Baltic on the ast, but westward seemed its more natoral way out, seeing that its waters, carried by the river Gots over the picturesque Trollhatta falls, are poured into the Kattegat at Gothen- burg. For navigal a canal of about twenty miles in length was needed ney it has taken seven years to build it. The traffic will be large and valu- able. Around the lake are forests of firs highly prized for ships’ masts. and the Svealand stores of iron and “| big lake district will be copper are almost inexhaustible.

FOR NORTH DAKOTA REALTY HEX Sales Reported Largest in History of State—Home-Folk the vie ~ Buyers Nineteen-sixteen, iollowing , the bumper-erop year of 1915, has prov- en a haryest for North Dakota deal- ers in} fatniclands. 7: { ‘The ,situatign has been, remarkable in thad the business has not come from Iowa, Sopth Dakota, Illinois, In- diana, and consin aud’,, southern Minnesota—regions which have ‘con- tributed so-much ‘to the upbuilding of tail state’s own farmers. The 1915 bumper wheat crop, with good yields /of all’other small grains, except corn, and. with exceptional prices for flax, left ‘the North Dakota . farmer the most prosperous agricul- turist in: America: 7 His average, net earning for that year, the United’ States department sof the census shows, was in, the,,neighborhood of | $2,500. At the same fime, the entire | corn belt suffered from an .over-plus | of rains. The Iowa and Illinois ten-; ant-farmer who had been planning to buy ‘in North Dakota found that he winter where he was. The Wisconsin and southern Minnesota farmer, who had planned to sell out and buy more land in North Dakota, found that no one wanted his farm. On the other hand, after buying his new car aid taking a trip to the cities and putting in modern plumbing and a heating plant and electric lights, the North Dakota farmer discovered he still had more money. than was good for him, and he turned covet- ous eyes on that neighboring quarter- section which he had long been want- ing to complete his “patch.” Maybe! it was a section, or perhdps two or | three of them. Anyway, he found he; wanted it and.that he had the money to pay for it, and he bought and paid cash, perhaps ten to fifteen dollars more the acre than he paid for his original place, a few years ago. Practically all of the buying has been done by North Dakota farmers, anxious to increase their holdings. by ! buying adjoining tracts, or who wish- ed “set up” a son who had “went and got married. DEATH TAKES MAN BUMPED FROM BRIDGE! (Continued from Page One) then backed up,” said the little wit- ness. “Two men went down below and got some kind of cushion and took him on the train. Yes, I saw a whiskey bottle all ‘broken up.” “Evidently, the man had been drink- ing?” was asked of the witness by. Coroner Beers, who nodded his head. He made it clear that the train whis- tled before it reached the bridge be- cause, he was below and could hear it. Another Student Testifies. George Gillett was another student from the Indian school who was skat-} ing with Frank Young Eagle in the} vicinity of the bridge. George told, the jury he was “farming and going! to school.” He said he was thirteen’ {years old, and was on the ice near |the Missouri bridge at 3 o'clock. He | jsaid he was on the west side. “He didn’t get across,” was his re-} ply to the question asked whether hej saw the man walking across the; bridge. “The train was coming,” testified the little fellow. “He just lay down. I think he lay down to let the train | pass.” “Yes, the train whistled and stopped but I don’t know what for.” He Saw Whiskey Bottle. “Did you see anything strange, any glass or anything else around?” asked the coroner. The witness thought a moment and when a whiskey bottle was mentioned to him,-he popped out: “I saw a broken whiskey bottle.” ‘PAY BIG DIVIDEND.
