RR ARR \ Townley Would Tear From Con- stitution Everything That Hampers Him. Devils Lake, N. D., Oct. 12.—A. G. Divet, in a conference with Doyle for Governor workers held in Devils Lake last night, laid before them the story of the attempt of the Socialists to op- en the way to get at the North Da- kota state school fund. Mr. Divet dealt with H. B. 44) at some length, and then discussed the school fund amendment to the consti- tution. Mr. Divet said: J Danger to School Fund. “The ‘next thing that attracted the attention of the thoughttul in connec- tion with this remarkable proposition was its effect upon the state school fund., In that fund is untold wealth preserved for the education of the children ‘of the future. Once it »vas admitted that thé proposition was to permit debts without limit to the dan ger of the property of the. state all eyes turned to this sacred fund and the ‘leaves of the bill were thumbed with anxiety to ascertain how if at all it was affected, “Section 159 of the present constitu- tion provides that the moneys of the permanent school funds shall be in- yested in bonds of school districts and other municipalities, on mortgages, donds of other states and bonds of the United States, and of the state of ‘orth Lakota. Exclude U. S. Bonds. By Section 153 of the proposed new ‘constitution it was provided that such funds could only be invested in bonds of school districts. of the state of North Dakota or in mortgages. Bonds of states and of the Unned ‘States were excluded. Why the exclusion of bonds of ihe United Staes trom the cield of investment ot our school tund? rom what district of the state came «ie mandate to the legislature to change the constitution in that state. two months betore the country be- came involved in the world war, a time when we were trembling on the orink of war, a ‘time when every thoughtru! man expecced from day to aay that the country would be pushed over the brink into the struggle. Wihy chis. particular time for euminating United States bonds? It occurred to the thoughtful that one reason for such limitation of the field was that there would be: more money available tor investment in such bonds as the state might issue as guarantee under the provisions of Sec. 13. It occurred to us that’ bonds indiscriminately is- sued under the wide open policy. of that section must be at best a precar- fous security and that if the safety, of the fund was to be a controlling consideration United Siates bonds should be resorted to, and that the tund ought not to be allowed to be in- vested at all in such precarious se curities as it was contemplating’ auth- orizing. It occurred to us also that be in the market for money on bonds and that it was a’ poor time in the interests of the country to discrimin- ate against its securities, If the bill people it would have been impossible to have invested a dollar of the fund in Liberty bonds, though a large amount, has at last been so invested in response to an urgent. public opin- ion. Defend all Safeguards. “For thé purpose, of safe-guarding the fund an amendment was sought to be made to the bill which amendment was as follows: “ ‘Mr, Chairman, I move as an amendment to Section 153 of House Bill 44, as printed, the following, in- sert at, the end of said section, ‘provid- ed, however, none of the school funds shall be invested, in, bonds issued or j guaranteed by the state of North Da- kota or any political subdivision there- in excess of the debt limit specified in 13 FOR ’TEEN AGE (°! under the provisions of Section 173, ae By BETY BROWN For the “difficult” ’tten age girl— caught awkwardly between the graces of childhood and the grace of girl-| vou hére sent hood, there is ‘nothing more suitable and becoming’than a standardized cos- tume’ of serge. model in a middy dress, of dark blue serge with scarlet braid, tie and em- broidered sleeve chevron. dresses, one of dark red or brown ard one of blue, should be sufficient for {the winter school months and will as- sure the school girl comfort and good appearance ‘at a minimum cost. , Here. is. an excellent Two such { j Sections 170, 171 and 172, “The amendment was voted down by the regular party vote. “The danger sought to be guarded against was emphasized by another provision of the old constitution which was omitted entirely from the new. | Sec. 165 provides ‘The legislative as- sembly shall pass suitable laws for the safe keeping, transfer and dis- bursement of the state school funds; AND SHALL REQUIRE ALL OFFT- CLALS CHARGED WITH THE SAME or the safe keeping thereof to give ample bond for all moneys and funds ‘received by them and if any of said jofficers shall convert to his own use jig any manner or form * * * or allow any of the same to ‘remain in his hands uninvested except in the man- ner prescribed by law, every such act shall constitute an embezzlement, and shall be a felony.” Now what is the matter with this provision?.

This matter pre- sents a petition by a private citizen to restrain the secretary of state from: publishing certain proposed constitutional amendments and sub- mitting the same to the voters at the next-general election. The petition for the submission of the amendments was duly filed March 3, 1918. It i: igned by a majority of Nt the vote: It was given to one newspaper in each county to be ‘pub- lished six times as provided by law during three months prior to the elec- tion. The proposed amendments were fil- ed in the office of the secretary of state pursuant to sub-division -2 of section 202 of the constitution, That section’ was adopted in 1914 by a vote of 43,000 to 22,000, It provides that when there is filed with the secretary of state a certain petition for an amendment of the constitution it shall be published as the legislature may provide for. tliree months next preceding the general election and shall ‘be placed on the ballot to be voted for at the next general election. The section consists of two para- graphs. The first relates to the sub- mission of constitutional amendments lt will be remembered this was only! py (he legislative assembly; the sec- ond, to the submission of amendments on a ‘petition. The objections; are: 1, That the amended section 202 is void because it was not entefed on the journal of the House in accord- ance with the original section 202. 2.

Robinson submitted either in accordance with a concurrent resolution of two succes- sive legislative assemblies, or a peti: tion signed by at least 25 per cent ot the voters in each of not less than half the counties of the state. Mani festly it does not contain two amend- ments. 2. In regard to the advertisement of propered amendments the words of Section 202 are that amendments shall be published as the legislature may provide. That is in manner pro- vided by iaw. As the people well knew all the amendments to the con- stitution were advertised as provided by law and there is no reason for one method of advertising amend- ments submitted by the legislative as- the people acted as a legislative body and it must be conceded that they never thought of voting for a decep- teve or delusive measure that could have no force or effect until some future legislature should see fit, to Provide for a special system of adver- tising. And we must presume the legislature did not intend to submit to the people any tricky or delu measure. However, if some makers had such a nefarious design it‘should have no effect. «Phe judges are bound to give force to. the mani intention of the peo- ple-—the legislative body that adopted the amendment. When the people act as law-makers their action is govern- ed by the accepted maxims of legisla- tion: Like reasons doth make like} la The law neither does nor re- quires idle acts. The law respects form less than~substance; the inter- pretation which gives effect is to be preferred to that which makes void. In the construction of a statute where any uncertainty exists, the question is: What was the intention of the law- makers? In the language of Justice Field, instances without number exist where the meaning of words of a stat- ute has been enlarged or restricted to carry out the intention of the law: |makers. Thus, in the Oregon Dona- n Statute, the term “a single man” s held to include an unmarried woman. The purpose of a constitu- tion is to give formal and authentic expression to the will of the people. Hence, constitutions are to be con- strued as the people construed them in their adoption. It is true that in the Capitol Re- moval Case, the court held against that part of section 202 which relates to the submission of amendments on petition. It was held to be a dead let- ter until such time as a legislative body should see fit to breathe into its nostrils the breath of life.

Spanish influenza, which appeared in Spain in May, has all the appear- ance of grip or la grippe, which has swept the world in numerous epidem- ics.as far back as history runs. Hip- pocrates refers to an epidemic in 412 B. C. which is regarded by many to have been influenza. Every century has had its attacks. beginning with 1831, this. country has, had five epi- demics, the last in 1889-90. There is no occasion for panic—in- fluenza itself has a very low percent- age of fatalities—not over one death out of every four hundred cases, ac- cording to the N. C. Board of Health. The chief danger lies in com- Plications arising, attacking principal: ly, patients in a run down condition— those who don't go to bed soon enough or those who get up too early. THE SYMPTOMS. Grippe, or influenza ‘as it is now called, usually begins with a chill fol- lowed by aching, feverishness and sometimes nausea and dizziness, and a general feeling of weakness and de- pression. The temperature is from 100 to 104, and the fever usually lasts from three to five days. The germs attack the mucuous membrane, or lin- ing of the air passages—nose, ‘throat and bronchial tubes—there is usually a hard cough, especially bad at night, often times a sore throat or tonsilitis, and frequently all the appearances of a severe head cold. THE TREATMENT. Go to bed at the first symptoms, not only for your own sake but to avoid spreading the disedse to others; —take a purgative, eat plenty of nour- ishing foo? remain perfectly quiet and don’t worry. Quinine, asprin or Dover’s Powder, etc., may be adminis- tered by the physician's directions to relieve the aching. But there is no cure or specific for influenza—the disease must run its course, but Na- ture will throw off the attack if only you keep up your strength. The chief danger lies in the complications which may arise. Influenza so weakens the bodily resistance that there is danger of pneumonia or bronchitis develop- AND HOWIS SHOULD BE TREATED Nothing New—Simply the Old Grip, or la Grippe That Was Epi- |HUTCHESON HOME ROM THE FORKS Anno ement of Results of Cabinet Meeting Monday.

EXTERNAL _ APPLICATIONS. ;. In order to stimulate the lining of ithe air passages to throw off the 'grippe germs, to aid in loosening the | phlegm and keeping the air passages | open, thus making the breathing eas- jier, Vick's VapoRub will be found ef- i festive. Hot, wet towels should be ap- j Plied over the throat, chest and back ; between the shoulder blades to open | the pores. Then VapoRub should be ; Tubbed in over the parts until the skin is red, spread on thickly and covered with two thicknesses of hot flannel cloths. Leave the clothing loose {around the neck as the heat of the | body liberatés the ingredients in the | form of vapors. These vapors, inhaled | with each breath, cayry the medica- tion directly to the parts affected. At {the same time, VapoRud is absorbed | through and stimulates the skin, at- | tracting the blood to the surface, and ; thus aids in relieving the congestion | within. HUW TO AVOID THE DISEASE. i Evidence seems to prove: that this {is a germ disease, spread plincipally ; vy human contact, chiefly through coughing, sneezing or spitting. So ; avoid persons having colds—which means avoiding crowds—common , drinking cups, roller towels, etc. Keep lup your bodily strength by plenty of exercise in the open air, and good food. Above all, keep free from colds, as colds irritate the lining of the air passages and render them much bet- ter breeding places for the germs, Use Vick’s VapoRub at the very first sign of a cold. For a head cold, melt a little VapoRub in a spoon and inhale the vapors, or better still, use VapoRub in a benzoin steam kettle. If this is not available, use an ordinary tea-kettle. Fill half-full of boiling wa- ter, put in half a teaspoon of Vapo- Rub from time to time—keep the ket- tle just slowly boiling and inhale the {steam arising. NOTE.
