' A jong-looked-for : reform, a tardy justice to a persecuted class, shows 4 morning face in North Dakota, ‘The farmers of that state, by means of the Non-partisan league, elected only 18 of 25 members of the state Senate, only 81 of 113 members of the House, only all the state officers and a ma-) jority of the supreme court. Non: partisan equity to the speeders of the] plow is assured in a sense, perhaps, iby that supreme court majority, Dut a noble and vital principle remains unvindicated still. The tillers of* the soil were forced to choose lawyers as judges, and we know what lawyers are. So long as these slaves of form and precedent make and interpret the laws, what chance has the: oppressed farmer of getting the consideration, the equity with a bonus, the favored treatment, that he desires?

At least three “real” farmers Mr. Martin should have said, three real farmers farming personal- ly, in gocd and regular standing, equally skilled to drive the reaper and the automobile. And why be content with three farmer judges? There can ‘be no non-partisan equity, no repara- tion of the wrongs done to agricul- ture, no basis of substantial justice until farmer-made law is interpreted by farmer judges, until the courts are an appanage of the farmery. Lawyers are the root of all evil. 'So,Jong as even the best judges are lawyers, so long must their decisions be evil. North Dakota is on the path to perfectio A JOKE AT HOME OFTEN MISCONSTRUED ABROAD In all humility, the Tribune reprints an editorial from the New York Times, in which Senator Martin's bill to provide for a judiciary composed of farmers is treated in a serio-comic fashion. k The Times doubtless senses the fact that the lusty-lunged senator from Morton desired merely to vary the monotony of serious legislation by in- troducing a bill in which the “joker” was not even disguised. But many papers of the east took Senator Martin seriously. Columns have been written upon the “freak” legislation likely to emanate from the North Dakota legislature. This only proves that a joke at home, freed from its local setting or “mise en scene,” as the French would say, may become a stern and threat-| ening reality. The Times is to be congratulated that it scented the joke. Some papers as prominent missed the spirit of Senator Martin’s irony. MAKE IT BONE ORy. Senator Heckle has the correct solu- tion of.the liquor issue which thrusts itself upon.every legislature usually ~4in the form of a salary grab dill such as House Bill 71 two years ago and House Bill 37 this session. ‘The adéption of a bone dry law will give us prohibition that prohibits, Of its belief bles, perish ONE LAW FOR ALL. | Wlue Laws will exist as long as people jabor under the delusion that morality is an attribute that can be | implanted in the human fibre through legal process.

NORTH DAKOTA IMPLEMENT MEN MEETING IN FARGO Fargo, N. D., Jan. 24.—Just after she had been divested of the 4,000 far- mers that attended the Tri-State Grain Growers convention here last week, Fargo again threw open the doors of her hospitality today to the North Dakota Implement Dealers as- sociation, for a convention that will last two days. T. N, Witten, Trenton, Mo., is the} big noise of this convention. He has been successful in closer affiliating| city and country, with the “Trenton Idea,” which he will expound at the convention. The entire morning was taken with an examination of the exhibits that pack the Fargo auditorium, and get- ting acquainted. Addresses by officers, business sessions, report of commit- tee and a question box occupied the/| balance of the day. Expert Phonography and Typewriting “Phone 774 “WALTER W.

Dishonest in one thing dishonest in all things. If it is neces- sary to resort to falsehoods to revise the constitution; then God help our people. The only cow country ever in our state, worthy of the name, was locat- ed along the Little ‘Missouri river, mostly in old Billings county. The severe winter of 20 years ago about wiped out the cattle business, which never came back to what it had been. The constitutional convention was elected in 1889, when the counties of at is now Golden Valley, Slope and Billings had about 150 population, of which less than 100 were voters, Wil- liam Ray, a railroad man, of Dickin- gon, represented all this vast distr T am una of a single article in the constitution placed there for the benefit of cow-punchers. The only representative this county had in the legislature in cattle days was Alf White, in 1897. If any laws passed by any of our legislatures were for the especial benefit of cow-punchers we should like to know where they can be found. On the contrary, the cattlemen haye oftén been held up to scorn, and‘ today the land own- ers along the Little Missouri river are unjustly taxed, compared to thdse of the Red river. e Yours truly, JAMES W. FOLEY. ENTERS A PROTEST. Aneta, N. D., Jan. 23, 1917. Editor Bismarck Tribune, Dear Sir: 1 see in the papers that the leaders of the Non-partisan league are trying hard to get the state con stitution revised in a jiffy, so it will be possible to increase the debts of the state of North Dakota, and also get hold of the state school fund. Now, Mr. legislator, why be in such a hurry? ‘Neither the Non-partisan league program nor the league cam- paigners demanded such a radical and speedy action. If you league leg- islators had told the voters before the primary election, that you would re- vise the constitution so you could get the state into deeper debts, and use the school fund for speculative pur- poses, where there is no guarantee of its success, it is very likely you would have been defeated. Before the primary election you league candidates stated most em- phatically that Townley was not your dictator, nevertheless, you now ap- prove of everything he advocates. The proposed revision of the con- stitution is so radical that your boss, Townley, did not dare to, mention it before the election, but you approve of it just the same. Doesn’t that look suspicious? If you were loyal citizens you would not attempt to change the constitution on the proposed plan, but follow the plan specified in our constitution. The state received the school lands and land grants to the educational in- stitutions from the federal govern- ment for the sole purpose of main- taining the schools in the state. From that land a lot of money comes into the school treasury. The politician who attempts to squander or use that of our people, Column , money for speculative purposes is not a friend of our schools. The league leaders say that the people approved this measure at the election. That is a false statement. The people at the last election ap- proved the act of the 1915 legislature repealing the terminal elevator levy. The increased bonding of the state and the use of the schoo] fund to speculate with has never been de- manded until now it appears in the revision of the state constitution. The state constitution is already amended go that the state can build terminal e\evators. Have you league men any igea of what it will cost to build terminal elevators to handle the grain of thdstate of North Dakota? Governor Yrazier and Townley use the success the twine plant as an ‘argument in favor of the other pro- \posed plants; but they don’t say a | word about /the. cheap labor in the twine plant.. To be fair, they have to add the existing wages (not con- vict wages) ‘to the other expenses ‘and deduct that from the earnings, and see what is left. | As long as the state has not tried ‘out the terminal elevater proposition there is no need of changing the con- stitution. The proposed constitution gives the legislative assembly power to exempt ;any or all classes of personal prop- jerty from taxation. Why give the legislature such a‘ power; is it the Henry George single tax theory they have in view? I hope the hold-over senators have sense enough not to be influenced by those that rally to Bismarck. Not all of us farmers are adventurers of the Townley type: but if Townley shall rule, North Dakota has a good chance to become indebted. If you leaguers are so numerous as j You claim you can erect those enter- prises on the co-operative plan and earn all that money yourselves, or are you afraid to risk your own money in such a profitable investment, which you claim it to be. Yours for fair play, S. S. QUANBECK, FROM A MEMBER, Minnewaukan, N. D., Jan, 22, 1917, Editor Tribune: I read in your issue of January 16 that Mr. Townley, in a speech made at Steele on the 15th, said “Indian fighters and cow punchers planned the constitution to suit their needs.” I have no quarrel with the gentlemai, his political aspirations or the kelt he represents. 1 have had no part in the political activities of the state for years and am not an applicant for po- litical preferment. Iam myself a farmer residing and working on the farm from which I write this article. Whatever will ben- efit the farming business of this state will benefit me. I. shall not at this time discuss or venture an opinion on the merits or demerits of “House Bill 44,” and with the statement I find in the Tribune, “if the league program is thwarted by holdover senators, there is danger of all past labors and ex- pense to get control of the executive branch of the government being wast- ed through delay.” have only to say for that information, “I thank you much and wish you well.” It is with the criticism of the members of con- stitutional convention that I take ex- ception. Having been a member, I have a right to say I know something of the manner, of men that made up that body. 1 have no records here to cohsult and am speaking solely from memory but if you will consult the records of the men who were members, you will not find me far wrong. ‘ I can call to mind but one member who might be said to have ever been an “Indian fighter.” Hon. William Budge, of Grand Forks, who did his Indian fighting in blazing the trail from. Bismarck to’the Black Hills—a vocation that took. nerve, foresight, and redounded to.great benefit of the territory through which he passed. He, as head of the university board, did more to build. up that institution than any other! mian in the state. I can call to mind but one man,a mem- ber, who could be said to be a “cow puncher”—a slur term for a stock ‘man—Hon. William Ray, of Stark. As i loyal a citizen, honest a man, as God ‘ever put breath in. Without reference to “House Bill |44,” let me say in defense of the con- stitution builders, “by their fruit shal] ye know them.” What state of them all has builded better, faster and more substantial, than our own, What peo- ple have been more contented and prosperous. In what state have laws been passed that could not be passed | under our present constitution. and| which have been tried out and found | to be of special benefit to the former, and has failed because it has been declared to be unconstitutional? “In- dian fighters and cow punchers”. in- deed! I can call to mind at least 27 members who were bona fide farmers, not “farming the farmer,” but actual tillers of the soil. I recollect no single article advocated by any of these gentlemen and defeated: because it extended advantages in, the way of passing laws in the interest of agricul- ture, If conditions have so changed as to now make revision desirable, that can be no just basis for criticism of its original builders. More than one-fourth of its mem- bers have since its adoption been se- lected for. places of honor and trust. in either the state or nation. I call to mind B. F. Fancher, president of the convention, since insurance commis- sioner and later governor; J, F. Selby, United States attorney; B. F, Spauld- ing, member of congress and chief justice supreme court; M. N. Johnson, member of congress, both house and senate; W. I. Purcell, United States senator; W. S. Lauder, three tynee judge of district court; John Carland, United States district and circuit judge; Roger Allen, lieutenant gover- nor and governor; David Bartlet, three times lieutenant governor; Edgar W. Camp, United States district attorney. and now chief counsel of the Union Pacific railway; W. J. Clapp, superin- tendent of public instruction; H. L. Holmes, twice state auditor; S. H. Moore, twice judge district court at Duluth, Minn.; Knudt Nomland, state treasurer; James F. O'Bryan, United States strict attorney; Rob- ert M. Pollock, speaker in seventh leg- islative assembly; Andrew Slotten, member board railroad commission- ers; Elmer D. Wallace, lieutenant gov- ernor; John Almond, member state senate, and E. A, Williams, surveyor general and speaker of the house. Some names that should have been in this list have no doubt slipped my memory These men all took a prom- inent part in the building of our con- stitution, They were neither “Indian fighters or cow punchers.” -#When Lincoln said :“you can fool’ all’ the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you can’t fool all the people all the time,” he but propounded a trueism, as true as the gentleman will find the Chinese proverb, “chickens come home to roost.” More than one-third of the mem- bers of the constitutional convention are dead and I shall feel that it is time for me to be when I am not ready and willing to defend their memory. I have the honor to be, Yours truly, R. N, STEVENS. HOUSE BILLS INTRODUCED. (Wednesday.) H.

This seems a reas: onable recommendation on the part of the survey experts. It is pointed out that the German system places con- siderable emphasis upon the neces- |sity of those engaged in research to | devote some time to teaching. Criticism is made of the mainten- lance at the Agricultural college of a |preparatory school. The ‘Tribune does not know whether the recom- mendation to abolish this feature is |based upon a careful examination of rural school conditions or not. Near ly 45 per cent of the registration in this school comes from Cass county, which would indicate that the state is furnishing Fargo with a free high | school at the expense of the tax pay- jers. In 1914-15 only 138 students were | enrolled. The survey experts found just what The Tribune pointed out two yea ago when agitating the board of re gents system that low grade normal Discontinuance of Certain | Features at A. C. Urged by Educational Survey courses were maintained to train teachers. ° It certainly is not the function of the A. C. to prepare teachers of this grade. There can be no objection, however, to train boys and girls to take positions as supervisors in grade work or fit them to teach special sub- jects in high school, Certainly no criticism can be made on the recommendation to abolish gradually the preparatory school and the high school. There should be as ‘little duplication of the work of the normals as possible. The experts found that the A. C. was offering 27 courses in architec- ture and architectural engineering. To show the utter foilishness of this, they had only to examine the registrations for these classes. Four of the classes ‘had two attendants each and three had only one student, Just what it cost the state to give private instruc- jtion in these branches, the report {fails to reveal. ft seems very dubious whether the demand for courses, in art is great fenough to maintain instruction in \these branches at either the univer- sity or A.

Among students, teachers, |mewspaper men and genera] readers there will be daily, and sometimes al- most hourly occasions for ' reference to the dates of events, the text of new laws or other documents, the statis- tics of trades, finance or elections. This surpassing importance of the twelve months just past places a fresh accent upon the fact well established under tests of other years, that The. World Almanac and Encyclopedia 1s the American publication pre-eminent in the matter of meeting reference de- mands of every kind. In the 1917 is- sue of nearly 1,200 pages, this annual ipresents the last word of the calen- dar hour for the first and last of its uncounted consultants, It: runs the ravage of events from pugilism to president-making, from politics to preaching, from automobiles to agri- culture, from records of destruction to records of construction. In the pages given to war are a chronological table of battle events abrcad, the Kaiser’s peace proposal. President Wilson’s note to the bellig- erents, a list of peace societies and movements, the text of our own Army Bill, details of American preparedness plans, texts of peace treaties, and com tributions to relief funds. The new United States general rev- enue law, including income tax chang- es, is printed in full. There are also the national laws on farm loans, rural post roads, trusts and child labor, to- gether with various State laws on workmen’s compensation and widows’ pensions. There is a review of all important legislation of 1916 in New York and the other States. Election figures include the official returns of the presidential’ vote from all the States, Statements’ are given of campaign receipts and disburse: ments by the national parties.

Theda Bara is the star of the n William Fox photoplay, “The Vixe which will be shown at the Orpheum theatre tonight. In this picture, the eminent actress has returned to the type of role which gained her her first fame. Miss Baa plays the part of Elsie Drummond, who lures a lover away from her sister, Helen, and then throws him aside, when he loses his money. Her next move is to take an other of her sister's lovers; this time the man keeps his money, so Elsia keeps the man, The denouement comes some years later, when the deceit which Elsie had practiced toward her sister ts proven.
