Now that conscription is a certain- ty.and soon will be enforced, it is for the people of North Dakota to decide whether their troops will be led by fellow citizens or by officers from oth- er states. The war ‘department prefers that troops be commanded by officers from their own communities and states. Better results always have been ob- tained from this practice.

Socialists in this country threaten to discredit United States’ mission to Russia if Elihu Root is a member. ‘President Wilson has selected a man who stands out pre-eminently fit for such a commission. No one can com- mend the action of the Socialists in this controversy. They opposed en- tering the war and if the nation had listened to them, Russia would never have had this nation as an ally. Now comes Professor Alexander Petrunkevitch of Yale, son of the first floor leader of the first Russian du- "ma, with the statement that a com- mission headed by Root would be met with, distrust by the Social Demo- crats of Russia. Root is not going to Russia to med- dle in internal affairs, It is not his mission to side with any factions or parties, but to offer the co-operation of this nation to win the war. It is a war mission, pure and simple. There is absolutely nothing of a polit-} ical nature about the commission en ‘Mr. Root by President Wilson. Just because the Soctalis‘s cry out ga'ast Root’s appointment js no rea- son why the United Statss should b2 represented at Petrograd by a war| mission composed of Sociaiists who “| ples against war, if they still would BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE SATURDAY, MAY 5, 1917. tration and are wholly out of sympa- thy with Wilson’s war policies. The statement of Petrunkevitch, published recently in the New York Times, is puerile. An excerpt is suf- ficient to gauge the calibre of this “patriot”: “] personally have the highest ad miration for Secretary Roe:. 1 do not know who the other members on that commission are, but 1 know that the press—the Socialisti press in New York—ig already writing about them, and I know that they are going to cable over into Russia, I know that the men will be met there with distrust. I know that unless there are members on that commission who will be personally acceptable to the Russian Social Democrats, the Rus: sian press wil] create the impression that the commission was sent for the special purpose of fighting down the Social Democrats, which are now in the ascendence in Russia, right here in New York City and 1 know what they are thinking over “n the other country. I know how old insinuations are revived, and nothing is more difficult than £9 comnat insin uations. If these present here had some means of conveying to ‘he Pres- ident, or to Senator Rov: tre neces sity of having on that commission men who would be acceptale to the Social Democratic party in Russia, they would really be doing a great patriotic act for this country.” THE LITTLE PLOT. “Rach little plot can add its ten or more bushels of potatoes to the com- mon stock,” urges an eastern univer- sity writer on products. O Lora! what couldn't we do to the war fiend if we'd only all get busy! And we needn’t count our potatoes in bushels, either, Take out your pencil. A plot of ground thirty by tén feet will hold 75 hills of potatoes. Prop- erly irrigated and cultivated, which labor will mean better health to you, each hill should yield enough potatoes for a meal for an ordinary family.; Turn your figuring toward meals, | not bushels. Very good, you have po tatoes for 7 meals, potatoes once a day for nearly two months and a| half. How many little plots of land at) leadt! 80 by 10 feet in this country plots on which nothing has been rais ed? Two million would be a vey conservative estimate, wouldn’c it? Say two, million 30 by 1° plote, each with 75 meals in it, “One hundred and fifty: millions: of meals! Now, let’s think over our potatoes, our millions of meals, a bit. They’re all clear gain! Your seed potatoes cost something. But you cut out and plant the eyes, and have the remainder of the pota- toes for your table In. both these mat- ters there's some little direct money cost,” But your outdoor work has sav- ed you doctor and druggist bills, It has given you a more charitable view of your brother who has to exist by hard manual labor. You have learn- ed something new. You have discov- ered that you can “grow things,” one of the most fascinating bits of knowl- able. Our 75 hills of potatoes are a small matter, comparatively. So is the ant. Multiply the ant, and it will clean from the earth all living things. Nature so loves small things tha- w> and all other created things are but arrangements of minute cells. Feed- ing the whole world uniil it barsts with gorging is but a matter of mul- tiplication of our 75 hills of potatoes, We have only to see and to do. We have oniy to be more Chinese, and not waste the land, the opportunity and the strength that the Lord has given us. But we are a peculiar people, in some respects. We're in such an al- mighty hurry to reach a destination that often we never see and enjoy the most beautiful spots along the way. We push so hard for big re- sults that we don’t realize that all bigness is but some sort of combina tion of small nesses. We say a thing is small, rely upon the other fellow to do it and so ‘tis often never done. The cry of all humanity is for more food. We Americans are paying gold dust prices for our simplest neces- saries. We have all as to climate fresh water, arable land, tools and} man-power that’s needed. Shall we | stupidly leave the problem for solu-| tion by the few? Or, shall millions of us raise 75 meals, or 7,500, accord- ing to our opportunity? “United we stand” surely means much more than we've ever dug out of it. Washington is worrying because it doesn’t know what Russia’s flag is. The revolutionists carried a blood-red flag, but it would throw Washington into fits to have to salute that sort... The last ditch for pacifists seems to be to organize a church with seru-| dodge conscription. | Your visit to the Twin Cities will be more enjoyable if you stop at this Famous Hostelry.

Robinson ‘A thousand a year or fifty dollars a month for the soldier. ‘That is the question. Fifteen or eighteen a month is a mere insult. Under the plain words of the constitution private property may not be : taken for public use without just compensation, A man’s time is his private property. To force a manj{ to give up his time or any other pri- vate property without just compen- sation is simple robbery; it is a hold- up, and it is not justified or excused by any, plea of necessity. Payment can be made in treasury notes, gov- ernment bonds or any legal tender. The soldier will be more efficient if paid well and according to his skill and expertness, One man well paid will be as good as two ill paid men. The soldier should have some spe- cial fitness for his business. He stiould be a fast waldker, a good marksman and a good horseman. The war should be a game of skill and not of foolhardiness. It should be conducted on the most efficient business principles, without graft, robbery or tyranny. tive Roosevelt 10,000 volunteers of the wild west, and of his own choos- ing.

Indeed, I feel much disposed to write up every appeal within ten days after its submission and to give my decision to the judges and the preés.

Here are some, not too long or too short: STEEN V. NEVA—STUTSMAN COUNTY COURT. ROBINSON, J.: In this case defendant appeaf from a judgment fo $25 and costs. The plaintiff sued to recover $36 as the balance due on sule of two mares that produced two colts. The case was fairly tried and the verdict is well sustained by the evidence. It was the same in justice court and in the county court, and it could not well have been different. In s) small a ease it were an act of folly to waste time in writing a grave Giscussion on numerous hair-splitting and frivolous objections, The judg- ment is affirmed. April 21, 1917. NORTHERN DRUG CO. V. KUNKEL. ROBINSON, J.: This is an appeal from an order denying a motion to amerce the sheriff for an alleged failure to levy and return an execution for $130.53, with a subsequent credit of $61.48. The motion was made | an’ submitted on affidavits and counter affidavits, from which it appears that such an execution was issued to the sheriff without any fees or bonds, and without instructions to-make a levy on any particular property; and that the sheriff was not able to find property on which to make a levy. ‘The motion is without any merit and is not worthy of any discussion. Such a motion should not be sustained unless on a Very clear sho f | grave fault. | Order affirmed. | April 28, 1917. KLINE V. HARRIS, ET AL.) J.: This is an appeal from a judgment on an attachment ’arge the attachment two defendants and their sureties sign- ed a bond to pay any judgment that might be regovered agains: them. | Seven years ago a judgment was recovered and this action was commenced on the bond. The complaint was duly verified and it was based on unde- niable facts appearing of record, The answer was a general denial. It was stricken out by Judge Burr as sham, and on, appeal to this Court, Judge Kneeshaw wrote an opninion reversing the order, holding in effect, tnat a general denial of the court records may. not be stricken out as sham and not made in good faith. (30 N. D, 421.) In June, 1915, the case was on the court calendar for trial and a motion was made to strike it from the calender, A motion was made to require the plaintiffs to come to the state and submit to examination as parties before trial, claiming that the defendants had a good and meritorious defense in a matter relating to the validity and good faith of the assignment of the judgment, as if the de- fendants were in any position to question the sufficiency of the assignment. On July 8, 1915, the case was brought to trial before the Court and a jury and at the close of the testimony each party moved for a dirceted verdict and the case was submitted to the Court. Then the Court, by Judge Burr, made and filed proper findings of fact and conclusions of law. On’ July 19, 1915, judgment was duly entered in favor of the plaintiff and against the defendants for $1,155.94 and costs. In October, 1915, the defendants again appealed to this Court and on January 27, 1916, the appeal record was filed. There is no specification of error worthy of any consideration. The proof submitted by the plaintiff was not disputed and it was in no way dis- putable. The defendants had no defense and they did not attempt to make a defense. The appeal was in keeping with the answer and it was taken in bad faith and for delay. In that way this very simple action has been held up nd delayed for seven years.” Such a procedure should not be tolerated: The judgment, should be affirmed, with ten per cent damages, and..costa, iv, abl " April 42, ,191% jg eons eet «> RUBDICH:V. BUCHANAN & SONS. ROBINSON, J.: In, this case the plaintiff sues to recover $59.90 for meats and groceries sold and delivered to the defendants, at their request. The plaintiff claims under a written assignment made to him by Miller & Posey. The Answer is a general denial. The defense was that the goods in questicn were sold to one Bowman and that the sale was not for and at the request of the defendants. The plaintiff appeals from a judgment and order denying a new trial. There was no fair question on the sufficiency of the assignment or the correctness of the account. The goods were de- livered to Bowman as necessary supplies to run a threshing machine in the operation gf which Bowman and the defendants were jointly interested. As it: seems, Bowman was competent to run a threshing machine, but he had no means to buy a machine or to operate it. The defendants owned a threshing machine and arranged with Bowman to run it. They sold the machine to him, taking back a chattel mortgage for the full amount of the purchase money, as he had no means to buy or to operate a machine, The agreement was that the defendants should pay the expense of operating the machine and receive neatly all its earnings. It was a joint venture in which Bowman and the defendants were in reality partners, and they were te receive the greater part of the profits. Hence, regardless of any special promise, they might well be held tor the meats and groceries necessary to operate the machine. And the evidence does fairly show that the defend- arts specially promised and agreed to pay the expense, and on the faith of that agreement Miller & Posey parted with their meats and groceries. The fect that the defendants sold the machine to Bowman and took back a mortgage for the purchase money, agreeing with him to operate the ma- chine for their mutual benefit, does not relieve the defendants of respon- sibility. He who takes the benefit must bear the burden. The law respects form less than substance, There was not a fair trial. The judgment is reversed and a new trial granted, April 25, 1917. J. E. ROBINSON.

Titus, father of the Northern Pacifie’s present dining car service, is to be no more, Hazen J. himslf breaks the news to patrons and producers. To the former he has sent an ap- peal for approval of the company’s adoption of this policy, in keeping with the request of President Wilson that food resources be conserved. The “big baked potato” has been one of the northwest’s famous gastro- nomic institutions. It has been the biggest. and best meal for the money ever offered on a diner. The average big baked potato has been bigger than the biggest baked potato pat- ron’s capacity, and therefore waste has resulted. - To eliminate . tais waste the Northern Pacific hence- forth will serve ordinary, run-o’-the- field baked potatoes. Titus Explajns. After explaining the conditions to the potato producer, Mr. Titus says: “1 trust you will appreciate the spirit in whicl this letter is sent you, and it is being done with a view to avoid- ing any disappointment on your part in anticipating the usual demand by us for such of these great big. pota- toes as you may be able to raise dur- ing the coming season and other sea- sons during the continuance of the war, “In the meantime we will continue to be in the market for the field-run potatoes such as all other catering in- stitutions will require, and we hope that the extensive advertising the Northern Pacific has given the pota- to industry throughout the world will have created such a demand for the western grown potato that you will be encouraged to produce increasing quantities year after year. “Upon the resumption of normal conditions we shall be glad to restore the great big baked potato in ou dinsng cars to the place {it now holds.” Mother’s Day ; To Be Honored On the Trail the nabobs of Quality Hill.
