The incoming administration will find North Dakota finances in better condition than they have been in a decade. This is due, no doubt, to the fact that for the last four years we have had at the head of our state gov- ernment a successful financier and capable business man, The house is turned over in good order to its new ‘tenants. The latter will endeavor to keep it so and to improve upon the former manage- ment, and in their efforts they will have all possible encouragement. But it seems that the next administration is to find very little cause for criti- cism of its predecessor, For the first time in years North Dakota will be able to meet every current expense up to the close of the year. In past years, payment fre- quently has been suspended as early as August in the second year of the Diennium. Furthermore, North Da- kota’s bonded indebtedness during the present administration has been Teduced from $930,000 to about $450,- 000, and the state has been saved more than $125,000 in interest on an- ticipated payments, while almost half a million dollars has been set at work in the development of North Dakota, as loans to our farmers and to our school districts. North Dakota assuredly has hada “business administration,” and ‘the; ‘Tribune feels: that the good people of ‘our state“ generally appreciate that fact’and are ready to” give’ credit wh it is due. Today the bootlegger amendment becomes effective. Watch your step. SETTLE THE POINT, | ywever regrettable the present as- sault upon the dignity of the ‘North Dakota supreme court may bé, it will at least have the effect of clearing up a point which has puzzled every in- coming justice since the first retire- ment of a member of this high tribu- nal. The constitution says one thing; the general code another, and prece- dent has established still a third prac- tice... Yet no incoming justice in re- cent years has cared to trifle with the constitution, and each has taken pains to qualify the first Monday in Decem- ber, insofar as was possible, although until this year the state canvassing ‘board has not met until the middle of December, and no justices except the three named at the first state election in 1889 have taken their seats until the first of January. Anything which tends to lower the supreme court in the esteem of the people is deplorable. The supreme court is a body which, above all oth- ers, must command the respect of our citizens. The laws governing this body in every detail, even down to the minor consideration of whether a six years’ term shall begin a month earlier or a month later should be so clearly defined that there can be no question as to their construction. And, perhaps,.out of the present incident will come some benefit in the defini- tion once and for all of a point which always has been in doubt. Bismarck needs more homes. There'll ‘be no difficulty in finding folks to fill them. A FOOD EMBARGO. The attempt to reduce or, at least, stop the increase in food prices in this country by agitating for an em- bargo on foodstuffs, sounds like a very simple solution of the tremend- ous problem. The trouble about if is that an embargo would be a two- edged sword and playing with two- edged swords is a hazardous business. If there were an actual food short- age in this country—just arely enough food‘or less than enough for the population—self-preservatio, the first law of nations, as well as ikdivid- uals, would justify an embargok But that is not the situagion. \We produce more food thay we consume. The nations at war and some of the neutrals produce leas than they con- sume. , They come to this country with ‘thelr money to purchase what ‘they need. Their needs, because of the war, are much greater than in normal times and the price they are willing to pay goes a long way toward es- tablishing the price that the domestic consumer must pay, It is annoying, but to the extent that the foreign demand affects the price we must accept the annoyance with the best grace we can. ‘The alternative would be an unneu- tral act against ‘the nations which are able and willing to buy foodstuffs here. Two years ago we told the world that it was not only our right, but our duty to sell munitions of war to any nation that could buy them, It is equally our right and our duty to sell foodstuffs, and to refuse to do Snow and cold-| it simply because it increases the cost to our own people would not only be unneutral, but unspeakably greedy and immoral, : Certainly if we expect to buy and sell with the other nations after the war we must buy and sell with them now. But there is also another side to it —the effect of an embargo on our own prosperity. We have tried this em- bargo business once before in our his- tory. In December, 1807, Congress forbade exports until France and Great Britain settled their war. The next year American exports dropped from $108,000,000 to $22,000,000, srev- enue fell from $16,000,000 to a few thousands, 55,000 sailors were thrown out of work, losing $20,000,000 pay; ship earnings of $12,500,000 were wip- ed out, workingmen on land lost $36,- 000,000 through unemployment, thous- ands of business houses failed, the jails throughout the country were full of men imprisoned for theft, whole rows of stores closed in northern cit- ies, cotton growers in the south were sustained by the state, grass grew in New York streets, and discontent spread so rapidly that New England states passed nullification laws and talked of open secession. After fourteen months of this a scared Congress repealed the embar- Bo act. ' It would ibe fine if we could eat our cake and have it, too—if we could enjoy all of the wonderful prosperity that is ours and save all the money. But that ‘can’t be. Prosperity. and high ‘prices ‘go’ together—always have and probably always will. “So you see, there’s a whole lot more to this question of trying to regulate food prices.than merely patting on an embargo... sy . Weare strongly. fi favor of doing everything, “possible to: keep: prices down by breaking up food: corners and prosecuting to the limit those fespon- sible for them... But there is no: rela- tion whatever. between these ,things and an embargo. Uneasy rests,the head:that wears a Political job these days. ae Ancidentally, Brother Villa has a lit- tle Red Trail of his own. ':~ Anyway, as old Ed Howe remarks, skirts can't go much higher. And stockings are coming down. ‘Tisn't every gtate that has its choice of supreme courts. Most ol ’em are restricted to one at a time Paving in December is very. un- Dakota-like from the Crissey stand- point, but accepted quite as a matter of fact by home-folk. “Telling it to Tumulty” has become the principal pastime of a number of prominent ‘North Dakota . Democrats who recently saved their country. Brother Lorimer, editor of the es- teemed Saturday Evening Post, is hearing from “The Hired Man—His Kick,” if we may judge from an apol- ogetic editorial found in the last. is- sue. Bismarck produce houses are e joying the greatest prosperity in 1% history and, judging from therprices paid the producer for hutterat, poul- try and eggs, they belie® im passing prosperity around. Insurance legislatin ig one of tre certainties of the Fifteenth Legisla. tive assembly, any insurance journals the country ove. are anxious to learn Just what an jgministration of farm- ers, by farmirs and for farmers, will do to them, or for them. Governcrelect Frazier has disap- pointed sme of his critics by address: ing fo 104 commercial clubs a re- | stiest for their candid views on neces- sary legislation. The commercial {clubs are freely responding, and North Dakota's next governor is getting a good idea of the state's needs from the city’s standpoint. ACCEPTS POSITION HERE. Mrs. Dan J.

MONTH Dr. Craighead Writes from Wash- ington of a Brand New “Batch of Promises At last there is some real, definite late news on the report of the North Dakota educational survey, upon which the government printers down at Washington have been hammering away at breakneck speed since the first of last July. The report positively (probably) will be ready for distribution on or hout”oF sonegwhere, around er 10. The announc from Washington, via, Dr. Craighead, state commissioner of edu- cation, need not cause any immediate excitement, as the government print- ing office and Dr. P. P. Claxton, Unit- ed States commissioner of education, |have made similar predictions that the report would be ready, first Octo- ber 1; second, October 20; third, No- vember 1; fourth, some time about the middle of November, and finally and fifthly, ‘fon or about December 10.” Craighead Has Been Working. > There is this much absolute, defi- nite. information: Commissioner Craighead has put in the past two weeks in Washington going over the proofs with Dr. Philander P. Claxton, the federal commissioner, and Dr. W. T. Bawden, industrial expert of the United States bureau of education. The final proof should be read by to- morrow night, and within the next ten days or two weeks, or thereabout, the report should be ready for dis- tribution. The board of regents has furnished the government printing office with an extensive mailing list, including all legislators, educators, newspapers and others who have been interdsted in the work. The United States bureau of education supplies the board with 1,000 copies free of charge, and the re- gents have purchased 9,000 copies in addition. All -will go out under a government frank, saving consider- able in postage. A copy will be mailed to any citi- zen who wants it badly enough to ask the state beard of regents for it.

Now every portrait is, appropriately labeled with a handsome brass name- plate, which gives the name of the original, by whom and when appoint- ed, if from territorial days; the order of service and the years embraced in the executive's term. There are 20 of these name-plates, and they will adorn portraits of every North Dako- ta ruler from the late Dr. Japne down - | to Governor Hanna, who is soon to be- come an ex.

ORPHEUM — E. K. Lincoln, who plays the lead- ing male role, and is co-starred with Frances Nelson and June Elvidge in “The Almighty Dollar,” the ‘World Film Brady-Made picture, which will ‘be shown on the screen at the Or- pheum theater tonight, has graduated from the stage, where he appeared as leading man in stock and road com: panies, Mr. Lincoln, though modest, is one of the wealthiest of the young- er actors, and, besides owning several fine horses, automobiles and a large farm also owns several hundred prize dogs, his foreign dogs especially ‘be- ing highly prized by judges the coun: try over. At Newport, R. I., August 21, Mr. Lincoln brought home a large silver cup, which he won three years in succession at Newport for the best English toy spaniels. He is a hand- some, clean-cut young fellow and a splendid actor, who is seen at his best in the hero of “The Almighty Dollar.” BISMARCK While “The Combat,” the Vitagraph Blue Ribbon Feature starring -Anita Stewart, v.hich is the attraction at the Bismarck theater tonight, would come under the clags of a society drama it contains a number of flashes of the North Woods where dog-teams, snow squalls. and rough log cabins form the ‘center of interest. These scenes which are intercepted by flashes of milady’s dainty boudoir and various well appointed drawing Tooms come as a diréct contrast in the life of the city man and the man of nature. Aiming to have these scenes all that perfection means, Director Ince took his entire company up into the woods iduring the winter months and besides using the log cabins which they erect- ed. for the picture they used them for shelter during their two weeks stay. One of the features of these scenes is the dog-teams which contain 20 val- uable ‘Malamute dogs who are really the species used for transportation in jthe Northwest The players were forced to learn how to use snow shoes, for without this knowledge, living in the snow covered woods could never have been accomplished. Nevertheless the scenes in the com- pleted film more than repay the play- ers for any inconvefiience they might have suffered.
