Because the Tribune refuses to as- sist’ ‘the’ “paid uplifters” in their at- tempts to pass the hat in this‘com- munity, these per diem reformers are picturing us as the foe of Prohibition. | Their activity to besmirch and mis- represent is characteristic of the prop- uganda these mercenary gentlemen seek to float at the expense of a pri- vate purse, already heavily taxed through regular channels for law en- forcement. The Tribune has respect for and is in sympathy with the Woman’s Chris tlan Temperance Union and the Scan- dinavian Total Abstinence society. in 80 far as these sogieties are engag- ed in spreading the virtue of sobriety. Our columng,have always been open for notices of their meetings and ac- thyities and will continue to, be 30, despite the mendaeioug stateménts ‘of ¥ the per diem reformers, who put more,| energy into chasing the uplift dollar than-in suppressing vice and evil, “y It-nigcessary, give the attorney gen- era} attother assistant; iJearned::in: the law; whose-duty it shall be to see that. our-prohibition Jaws .are...enfarged, Now is the time, however, to dispense with the private agents. Let the-ex- ecutive officials of the W. £. TA Séindihavian ‘Totaf’ Abatin- ence’ ‘society, go. tothe regular om. cials and through them eek theen- forcement of law. North Dakota is long: suffering, but the time has come to fix the respon- sibility for law enforcement at the doors of our officials. It is ridiculous to elect one set of officials and then, out of the private purse, to pay spies and informers to watch them. In the dark ages, governments used to send two spies into the enemy’s country and then, as a matter of ex- treme precaution, they sent two more spies to watch the first. ones, , The per diem reformers want to ap- ply that system in 1916: Fortunately, the scales are dropping from the eyes of the public, a A good way to punish cold storage eges hogs would be to limit them to a diet of cold storage eggs. ANGEL OF NIGHT COURT. Those who knew New York’s night court in the past few years knew also Mary Bell, a little middle-aged wom- an who devoted her time and her fender means to helping fallen wom- en back on the path of virtue. Night after night she attended the night court’s sessions, always with a cheery word, sometimes with an offer of a job, frequently with the con- tents of her purse for the victims of New York’s underworld—the wom- en caught in raids, fined and sent back to the streets. Day after day she met the boat from Blackwell's Island, to aid and advise the girls released from the re- formatory to face again the problem of life for women marked with the scarlet letter. Little was known of Mary Bell ex- cept that she kept a rooming-house in West 34th street and devoted all her earnings to the succor of unfor- tunates. Then came a night when a prisoner in night court told Mary Bell of rel- atives in Jersey City; when tle “an- gel of night court” prevailed on the judge to discharge, the woman, and then emptied her purse so that soci- ety’s victim might go ome to her kin, 4 With not even carfare left, Mary Bell trod the miles to her rooming- house in a drizzling rain. Next day she had a cold, but she met the Black- well’s Island boat; that aight her cold was worse, but she’ attended night-court just the same. For a week she fought both sickness and the forces that oppress; then she died. With her death it was discovered TE SI = oe -| told by the police of her history, dis- % | the eyes of North Dakota, too, for fol- that Mary Bell was really Mary Goode, once keeper of the most notorious re- sort in New York, who _ testified against the police in the Rosenthal | case, and later made charges of vice | graft that sent seven men to prison. | After these “disclosures the police turned on Mary Goode the full power of their persecution. She tried to live a decent, Jife, but wherever she went she was hounded. Landlords, in- | formed by the police of her past, turn- ed her into the street. Employe | charged her from her jobs. One day she disappeared. She did not reappear. “East river!” was the probable thought in the minds of her perse- | cutors. ” | But the death of Mary Bell, “angel | of night court,” bared the story of one Magdalen who did go her way and sin more, and who did outwit the j no len women next to impossible. Has Mary Goode, the modern Mag | dalen, atoned for her past sins? A musical comedy chorus hit the Billy Sunday trail in Boston. We haven't heard whether the show was able to continue, i STARTS QUERIES. | The recent threatened coal “fam- | ine” was.a blessing in disguise in that Hit called ‘nation-wide | attention to | North Dakota’s independence of for- eign fuel sourees. Perhaps it opened lowing the Tribune's editorials and news artictes calling attention to the state's great wealth of lignite, a num- ber of queries were received: by the Bismarck Commercial club from farm- ers’ elevators and similar organiza- tions'in the eastern part of the state anxious to buy native North Dakota coal. z | New Year's Eve will come on Sun- ; day. *An awful predicament for so- ciety folks who take that eve to throw off sobriety and decency in the cafes.

THEIR List of Legislators Who Will Be Notified of Theif Elec- tion \. TASES QUESTION OF SPEAKERSHIP REMAINS MUCH IN DOUBT Governor Hanna, Secretary of State Hall and Attorney General Linde worked overtime this morning, attach- ing their signatures to some 300 certi- ficates of election which are to.go to the successful state and legislative candidates: in the recent general elec- on. The personnel of ‘the legislature is definitely- determined, as a result of the work Of the. canvassing board, completed late yesterday afternoon. The speakership of the house, how- ever, remains in doubt. It is said the league has its candidate in training, and on the face of..things it should have no difficulty in electing him. Of the 113 members of the house, 81 were elected by the league, and there are but 22 independents, If the 81 mem- have a majority of at least 49 for the speakership. It is rumored, however, that two league candidates for the spegkership will.be placed in the field, that the independents will conce.- trate-on one,of them, and that an ef- fort will be made to-induce 25: leaguo members to vote with the independ- ents, in which event the latter would have a majority of one for the speak- ership. 4 Here They Are: The members of the Fifteenth as- sembly as determined by the canvas- sing board follow: The Senate.
