Bismarck, in common with oth- er cities, received many reports Sun- day that Germany had declared war upon the United States, that the mu- nition plants had ‘been seized by the United States and other rumors which had no foundation except in the fertile brains of the alarmists, who, like the poor, we have always with us. The Tribune each day will publish the Associated Press and United Press reports, refusing absolutely to give its readers anything but authentic dis- patches. If the news is based upon a report, and not an official statement, the Tribune will say so. At this writing it seems likely that several days will pass before the Unit- ed States can formulate a definite pol- fey. In the meantime, it is just as well to keep cool and not anticipate too much or believe all the rumors heard in the streets. GO SLOWLY. Before North Dakota's entire sched- ule of freight rates is overturned by the proposed distance tariff law, the situation should be canvassed cure- fully. Just because one industry suf: fers under a discrimination that might be relieved by a slight adjustment, is ho valid reason for any revolutionary ‘changes in our system of basing rates. The ‘Tribune today publisHes a let- ter’from one who is informed on the workings of the law in Minnesota. He has made a few applications to condi- tions in this state, upon the assump- tion that the law proposed for North Dakota is the same as the Cashman law in Minnesota. Whatever the legislature does, it} should give the board of railroad com- missioners wide latitude in adjusting any differences that are likely to in- jure towns whose industries have been built up on the basis of the present freight schedules. Also, the legislators might inquire} from shippers and: regeivers just how wid@spread: the fabbtand is’ for this kind 6f legislation. Ue In Minnesota the Cashman distance tariff ‘prevented: the Equity from do- ing bitsiness.at (St. (Paul, until the leg- islature gave the desired relief through an amendment to the law conferring certain rate-making pow- ers upon the Minnesota board of rail- road commissioners. Overturning completely schedules of rates is a serious affair and not to be dismissed without the most search- ing investigation. NOW FOR PREPAREDNESS. President Wilson's action in sever- ing relations with Germany should arouse the nation from its lethargy and overcome the inertia as regards adequate national defense. Compulsory training is absolutely) necessary if this nation is to be put on a proper military footing ‘o de- fend itself against aggression. Paci- fists have conceived the idea that pre- Paredness means war.° They have been able by active lobbying and through the use of large sums of money to postpone all important pre- paredness measures. The Hay military bill is worse thar useless, it is vicious. William Jen- nings Bryan and his brigade of peace advocates were able. to force this compromise measure through, believ- ing that it would in some measure satisfy the overwhelming sentiment in United States for preparedness. For more than two years, the United States has witnessed the worst war in history without taking any steps, commensurate with the necessity, to The spectacle of our punitive ex- pedition into Mexico assumes tragic proportions in view of the crisis pre- cipitated by the break with Germany. ‘Ten thousand American soldiers spent ten months on Mexican soil, hogtied ‘by military red tape and inadequate BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE MONDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1917. different than engaging a bandit chief at the head of a few thousand cut- | throats.

The; weather bureau on the face of climate conditions yesterday could offer no as-| surances of relief today. | Although the temperature has mod-| erated somewhat, it would have been} hard for some of the smaller children to reach school because of the deep! drifts and the condition of the streets | and the sidewalks. j The city authorities should take! steps at once to open some of the out- lying streets so that conveyances can} operate.

There's no} disputing that that policy has kept us out of serious trouble on several oc- casions, or that our nation has grown and prospered under that policy. But| it is equally certain that conditions| have greatly changed since that doc- trine was enunciated, both in respect of our country and the world at large, and particularly within the last half-| century. : | Our ancestors did not feed and fin- ance the world, as we are going to do.| With our Monroe Doctrine to enforce | and with our possessions in Alaska, | Panama, Hawaii, the (Philippines and the Danish West Indies, we are no longer isolated. An attack on our ca- nal, or Honolulu, or our West Indies or Alaskan ports would mean war as surely as would an attack on New York or San Francisco. To all intents and purposes we have foreign poss:3- sions which our ancestors did not, and, | having such, we have got to deal with} foreign nations as never before. Again, whether or not we becoma members of the league of nations to! enforce international law and: order,| it is the present purpose of the En- tente nations to organize such a| league, after the war.

H We will probably get our January thaw in February or March this year. President Wilson approves the sen- ate’s proposition to put all post- masters under civil service.

It was supposed that at the last el- lection you were elected by the voters {of our state to make and execute such laws as might be found necessary for This is to be a most momentous is-jthe welfare of the people. It is now openly reported over the who were not élected by the people and not responsible to the voters, to whom all proposed legislation must be sub- mitted and approved before passed by either house, or approved by the gov- tend the session to prompt members as to their duty. reports are true, kindly tell the voters under what kind of laws they are now living. It is told in history during; the reign of Louis XIV. of France that} all laws proposed, edicts issued by the king, or officers placed in com-} mand of an army had to be submitted to and approved by Madame de Main- | tenon, Are we to have a like condi-} tion in our state and, if so, where does American republicanism come in? Are the laws of our state to be ap- proved by self-constituted bosses be- fore passage? these bosses and who made thei boss- es? Did the residents of otir states, or are they self-constituted? Please tell the voters who elected you, who these bosses and censors are; what was their past occupation; how long have they been residents of the state; what their financial standing is at their homes and where are their homes? We would like to know. A man high in the counsels of the jleague told the writer before election that the legislative program was all mapped out which you were to pass upon. If this be true, then you are on! laves to do your self-constituted bosses’ bidding. You should he proud of your position. If you find yourselves unable to perform the duties for which you were elected, then, if honest, you should resign and leave the salary sup- posed to be due you in the state treas- ury. Do you know that under the condi- tions said to exist you are bringing jdisgrace on our state and making it |the laughing stock of the country? Respectfully submitted for either you or your bosses’ consideration. JAMES W. FOLEY. TAKES “SANITY” TO TASK. To the Editor of The Tribune, Bismarck N. Dak. Dear Sir: You were kind enough to give space to a communication of mine in your issue of yesterday— Thursday. Wl you again extend the courtesy by giving publicity to the fol- lowing reply to the communication signed by one calling himself “Sanity” dry” prohibition bill. And her senate! and appearing in the same issue. For the information of your readers I wish to state that the preacher re- ferred to in said communication was the Rev. Wm. Heard Hunter, D. D., of Fargo, a minister of the Presbyterian church in good and regular standing, and a resident of this state since terri- torial days, and a man well and favor- ably known throughout the length and breadth of the state. His record will bear investigation, and his friends have no need to make any apology for him. . As I was present and heard the ser- mon I must take exception to the lan- guage attributed to Dr. Hunter. The ,{words contained within quotation marks, as given in the communication referred to, were not uttered by Dr. junter. -Dr. Hunter is ee afraid to ‘come out into the open wit se “A Readers’ ernor, and that these managers at- tance tariff will be.

Given the mileage between two ponits and ap- distance tariff bill f North | points and the distance on one is several miles greater t on the other, you have two sets of rates, thus ying competition. The passage of a distance tariff law will not change the railroad mileages of the state a particle. Therefore,| uggested, there is no occasion for guessing. Just take the railro: ages and apply them to any distal tariff scale you can find, and you Will comparison, wil] illustrate the effect. or instance, the direct line from Car- rington to Valley City, N.

The distance from Carring*] ton to Valley City via the North- and, if we applied to those distances the Minnesota distance tariff, there would be a difference as follows on the various classes: Class 1, 2.0; Class 2, 1.6; Class 3, Class 4, 2.4; Class 5, .9; Class 6, In other words, the long line (the Northern Pacific) would have to charge’ more than the short line (the Great Northern), unless your law con- tained this provision, “provided, how- ever, where two or more railroads run into or village, one having a shorter mileage than the other from a given point, the railroad and ware- house commission may permit the | marck or elsewhere, as long as it was | , | OPPOSES NELSON BILL | get a result which, for purposes of | 9 how could North Dakota ever hope to| build up a market center at Fargo, Grand Forks, Minot, Jamestown, Bis- advantageous to ship from North Da- kota to popints outside the state and to bring goods into North Dakota from outside of the state in order to use interstate rates, thus escaping the rig- ors of a distance tariff.

Do you get my point? Let me give you one illus- tration of what the distance tariff did in ‘Minnesote For 20 years, the rates between the Twin Cities and Duluth and Superior were on a cent scale, that is: ¢ Class 2, 30; Class 3, Class 4, 17; Class 5, 10. The Nor- thern Pacific, between the Twin Cit- ies and Duluth is an intra-state line, with a distance of 155 miles. The dis- tance tariff rates for 155 miles are as follows: 90. 1, 41.4; Class 2, 34.5; Class 3, Class 4, 20.7; Class 5, 16.6. ¢ The Omaha, the Great Northern and the Soo Line are interstate lines and are not governed by the distance tar- iff. Obviously, th Northern (Pacffic could not do any business between the Twin Cities and Duluth on dis- tance tariff rates of: Class 1, 41.4; Class 2, 34.5; Class 3, 27.6; Class 4, 20.7; Class 5, 16.6, if the competing lines continued to charge: Class 1, 35; Class 2, 30; Class 3, 23; Class 4, 17; Class 5, 10. The Northern ‘Pacific very probably served notice ‘ipon’ the other lines that, unless théy “advanced their rates to correspond to the rates it was oblig- ed to charge, under the law, they would put in. the 35-cent scale, and in so doing pull down the entire distance tariff rates of the state of Minnesota, over all lines. The interstate lines promptly,advanced their rates to the 41.4-cent scale.

We in vite them to take a broad and hu mane view of the laws and always to remember that the laws are made for man and not man for the laws. The great purpose is to promote human happiness and prosperity. The New Court Rules Rule 1. It is the special duty of the Courts to give force and effect to this mandate of the Constitution: man for any injury done him in his lands, goot have a remedy by due process of law, and ri vithout sale, denial or delay.” ee i no time in the hearing of discussions Rule 2. This Court will waste : on technical points or on motions to advance or delay cases, or to ‘dismiss appeals. The system-of delaying and amassing business for Court Terms is discontinued. Appeals may be considered and determined at any time, regardless of Court Terms, and in all cases the Court may, without any motion, make special orders in regard to the hearing of a case, 80 that every case may be heard and determined within thirty days after the filing of an appeal. Rule 3. On receipt of an Appeal Record the clerk of the Supreme Court will look it over and return it for correction in case of any mani- fest and material error or defect that might prevent a hearing and decision on the merits; and the clerk will give to counsel for each party a notice of any order made in the case and the time for oral argument. Rule 4. In cases tried before the Court, without a jury, and appealed to the Supreme Court for a new trial, the appeal will not be dismissed, or the judgment affirmed because of a failure to include in the record all the evidence offered at the trial or a demand for a new trial, or because of any technicality. But if it appear that any material evidence has been omitted, the record shall be returned for correction, or a mandate shall issue directing the trial court forthwith to certify and return to the Supreme Court the evidence omitted from the record on any specified point or mat- ter. Rule In the trial of both Court cases and jury cases, the Counsel must refr from making needless and confusing objections. There is no reason for objecting to ‘nékrly every question as leading, or as incom- petent, irrelevant, immaterial or not admissible under the pleadings. One objection of the same character to the same class or kind of evidence is quite enough. And an objection that evidence is not admissible under the pleadings must show why it is inadmissible, so that if’ necessary, the pleadings may be amended. And so, an objection that evidence is incom- petent, or immaterial, must state the reason why, unless it is quite ob- vious. And when an objection is made and overruled, or a motion is denied, an exception will be understood as a matter of course. The right to jus- es must not depend on exceptions and objections, or on any technical prac- tice. Rule 6. Any matter offered as evidence must be excluded when: it is clearly inadmissible. And in e of an appeal to the Supreme Court, if it appear that any material evidence was excluded, the Court shall. issue a mandate 10 the trial court to take the evidence without delay, and to certify and return it to, the Supreme Court for due consideration. Rule 7. In presenting a ¢ to either court or jury, the counsel may concisely state the points and issues, and argue the law and the. facts with fairness and candor. Here: ust be no deceptive or misleading arguments, and no appeal to sympathy or bias, or prejudice. It shall,be the duty of the Court to check and reprove any such appeal. t Rule 8. As under the Code, the distinction between actions at law and suits in equity and all forms of action are abolished, therefore the Court shall not keep up the distinction and use the old technical rules of Chancery to deny legal rights, to defeat. justice, or to carry the simple forms of Code pleading. Rule 9. The rules of. the courts shall be liberally construed with a view to promote justice, and to make plain and simple the practice and pro- cedure. And in every stage of a case, the Court shall disregard, or per- mit an immediate amendment of, any error or defect which does not in- juriously affect the substantial rights of the adverse part: Rule 10. The Appgllant may serve and file printed copies of the record, but no costs of printing shall be taxed or allowed unless provided by statute. The briefs must be served and filed promptly, so that the Court may hear and decide every case within thirty days after the filing of the appeal. ! In regard to the making of briefs, we advise counsel making the brief to make. it so as to state truly the facts and the law and to appeal to the understanding with the utmost simplicity and .clearness.. Specify, in the fewest words only a few points of error relied on’;'the facts conceded and the facts disputed; give a clear statement of thé points of law, with ref- erence to the statutes and a few pat decisions well based on Jaw and Rule 11.—In charging a jury, the Court should use care to limit the charge to the law and the facts of the case, and to avoid anything like a commen tary, yon eet or on any matter not strictly relevant. And as , the Court should limit the charge to i by the Counsel, 8 the material points argued Rule 12. On the hearing of a motion, and on the trial of a case in any District court or County court, at the close of the testimony, counsel for each party shall have the right to make an oral argument for a reasonable time. And after the hearing of arguments, the Court a shall decide the case or matter without delay, and state concisely in writing the reasons of the decisions, and file the same with the clerk, as a part of the record. Rule 13. In the exercise of its supervision over inferior courts, the Supreme Court will, on proper application, issue a Writ of Justice, or a mandate in the nature of a Writ of Error, to District courts and to County courts. The petition for the writ must clearly and concisely state the nature of nine ose, the issues and the alleged errors, and, show that by y other cause, the complainant has no plain, speedy and adequate remedy by the usual method of appeal. : The writ must recite the alleged errors, and direct the trial. court forth- JUSTICE ROBINSON, “All Courts shall be open, and every ds, person, or reputation shall ight and justice administered mileage to meet the rate made by the] fore the interstate commerce commis- shortest line at such, city. or village.”| sion, and the commission permitted Note the words, “at such city or vil-|the advances upon the ground that lage.” That means that if the rail-/the change was necessary to meet read and. warehouse commission, after} conditions imposed upon -the carriers a hearing, makes an order permitting} py legislative enactment.
