As a defender of Jaw and liberty and an expon- ent of that rather rare human quality known as “hopse sense,” Justice James KE. Robinson of the rupreme bench has won a somewhat distinctive pinnacle for himself among the eminent jurists of the northwest. He is often right. Frequently, judged from ethical standards, he is very wrong. Occasionally the popular verdict is against him. Usually, however, the judge claims the honor of being honest with himself and his public. The Tribune believes the judge is honest in“ad- vocating the gation of North Dakota’s bone dry Jaw, in order that liquor, which the judge considers “good anti-flu medicine,” may be freely imported for personal use, as in the “good old days” that prevailed prior to July 1, 1917. The Tribune does not, however, belieyé that the es- timable jurist is correct in hig judgment in this instance. The Tribune firmly believes that alcohol is a dead issue in this state. The Tribune admits the medicinal value of alcohol used in moderation, but it cannot endorse a wholesale, indiscriminate use of this drug, such as would follow the re- moval of the present ban; nor has»it been the practice of reputable physicians, to generally pre- seribe its use. Alcohol has caused ten cases of pneumonia for everyone it has warded off. Pneumonia dearly loves tissues which have been burned out by this deadly stimulant. Never in our personal knowl- edge has a habitual or heavy periodical drinker survived an attack,of pneumonia. While we have no actual statistics to back up our statement, it is our firm belief that the present epidemic has raged even more fiercely in “wet” territory than it has in “dry.” There may come a day when the American peo- ple as a nation can devise some plan whereby those who can and will use moderate alcohol stim- ulants in moderation may have their light bever- ages. Just at present, however, America is in no temper to grant King Alcohol an armistice. The demand is for Unconditional Surrender, and the terms of peace will be dictated by the victors and not, negotiated by the vanquished. Technically Justice Robinson is absolutely correct. House Bill 39 was “faked,” as The Tribune pointed out almost two years ago. But the big breweries and distil- even then so clearly recognized the hand- ng on the wall that they did not dare raise the issue. In this instance we may agree with the Jesuitical maxim that the end justifies the means. It is not a good rule to be applied generally in the matter of legislation. Ordinarily, we would prefer to take chances with laws made by duly qualified representatives whom we have had a voice in electing. In this particular case, however, we feel that House Clerk Bowen, wittingly or otherwise, | has rendered the state of North Dakota a real service, and we sincerely trust that neither Justice Robinson nor any other person will strive to undo the good work done. IN THE FINAL ANALYSIS SPANISH INFLU- ENZA IS8 A TEMPORARY BANE. IT CAN DO US FAR LESS HARM THAN WOULD RESULT FROM A PERMANENT RESTORATION OF BOOZE. 4 HEIRS OF THE VANDAL, In a book entitled ‘Genseric, King of the Vandals and First Prussian Kaiser,’’ Poultney Bigelow traces the Prussians’ present devotion to militarism in its worst form to this cruel, despotic monareh and his people, whoxe original home is now Central Prussia and who have given the word ‘‘vandalism'’ to our voeabulury, Bigelow says that the German ideal of conquest, extermination and slavery was planted in the souls of the Prussian people by Genseric. not Jess than 1,400 years ago, und has been nurtured and developed by every one of his successors. The Vandals inhabited the, upper basin of the Oder, whence their army went first to invade the Roman provinces of Dagia and» Pannonia, corres- ponding generally with Roumania, Serbia and “Bostlia, but in the year 406 they moved westward statins RIOT a conse attend 1.00 and ravaged France and Spain. jthey crossed to Africa in 428, conquered all the | Roman provinces, plundered the |ehurches and made Carthage a pirate’s stronghold } In weap he took without difficulty, and thé historian lsays that ‘in a calm and business-like manner he jemptied it of all its inovable wealth,’ the sacred} vessels of the Jewish temple, which had been taken |to Rome by Titus, being among the spoils which he y to Carthage. jearried a | Genserie is described as a man ‘‘with a great ‘natural capacity for war and dominion, reckless of jhuman life and unrestrained by conscience of pity,’’} a description which admirably fits the present ruler us. Not all of the tribe migrated, for! that those who remained in Prussia de-| t the roving conquerors should renounce their claims to the lands of their forefathers. The ‘Vandals who sacked Rome and Carthage were ulti- mately exterminated, but their kin transmitted their (characteristics to their descendants, who are now aging Europe. The parallel is closer between the Prussians and} jthe Vandals than between the Prussians and the! Huns, because the former seem to have inherited the} {qualities of the Huns seems to do them an injustice, jhut the kaiser is responsible for that, for he first made it. | ANOTHER TEUTON FAKE. The Jatest bit of Teuton diplomacy won't fool anyone, 6 It never was designed to fool the American gov- ermnent, but the Teuts apparently thought it might fyol the Aim 1 people. It's the announcement of Baron Hussarck, Aus- trian premier, that Austria is to be federalized. There are to be four states, says Nussarek: Ger- mnan-Austrian, Czecho-Slovak, Ruthenian and Illy- rian. “ Questions affecting Bukowina, Bosnia-Herze-| govina, Rumania and Poland, it is announced, are| to be left for “future arrangement with the nations; concerned,”’ It sounds plausible, but ineomplete: Hungary? Then you “tumble,” y i Husserak is talking about federization of Austria only-—not as Austria-Hungary. And everyone of the subject races of the dual What of rule, F; P A Caecho-Slovak state including only the Austian provinces of Bohemia and Moravia, and excluding Slovakia, in northern Hungary, would not eve: rh aspirations for autonomy tinly, it would satisfy no one now that the allies have recognized, and the Czecho- Slovaks had carned, the independence of this Slay race, . Autonomy for the }outhenians under Austrian rule would not satisfy the Ruthenians in Hungary; and note that Bukowina, where there are many Ruth- enians, is specifically omitted from the so-called ‘foderalization’? plan, An Illyrian state would include only a minute fraction of the Jugoslavs, most of whom live in the Hungarian proviha$tor Croatia ‘and ‘Slavopia, in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which also ‘are omitted from the federalization plan, and in independent Serbia and Montenegro, As for the later arrangements with Rumania, ‘this apparently is to affect only the handful of Ruman- ians in Bukowina--not the large block of Ruman- ians living in Hungarian Transylvania. And the arrangement with Poland is apparently left till it can be seen whether Germany and Austria will jointly be able to dominate a Teutonized and delimited Polish ‘“state.’’ All in all, it’ come, out of @| sat- isfy the ancient Cz within the empire—e al Teutondom in recent months. Vienna knows that Americans ordinarily use the naing ‘Austria’ to denote the Austro-Hungarian empire, And the succes of this federalization fake depends on Americans’ not knowing the difference between the two, The plan doesn’t even begin to solve the racial problems of the Hapsburg empire. And Americans will be strengthened in their growing belief that the only solution for ‘Austria’ is—dissolution, dynasty is likely to die nasty. Having parried the HUN effort to steal peace it is now up to us to steel ourselves for war. The poor homesick dreamer who orders “punkin pie” in a restaurant draws nothing but the punk. Belgian refugees declare they found some Ger- mans were “kind.” Probably the same sort as the “good injuns” of frontier days. The flu germ’s too tiny to be seen under a microscope, but when you’ve swallowed it you don’t care much to look down microscopes any- how.

DIOCESE OF BISMARCK, Bismarck, N. D., Oct. 23, 1918. “Editor Tribune, “Dear Sir: “The letter of Judge Robinson on our North Dakota Bone-Dry laws, pub- lished a few days ago, has surely been interesting reading to many citizens of the state. 4 “He declares it his duty to give the bone dry statute a complete and abso- lute knock-out,’ I:wonder whether he and other citizens of the state realize ting the facts which are so fatal to the, Bone Dry ~before the, Hic. review the facts as stated by the hon- {rable judge who is a rember. of our supreme court.

Our governor signed did not contain the senate amend- ment, and thus it has been published as a law of the state of North Dakota, though it has not passed the senate. ‘Third fact... ‘The little whiskey- of doubtful vintage and character that has been smuggled into the ‘state has found ready sale at $8 and $10 the zens engaged in importing for their own personal use have been arraigned in state and federal courts and assess- ed finés ranging up to $2,000, or giv- en prison sentences ranging as high as two years.’ “Keeping these three facts before my mind, I say, they give the first most srious knock-out to the dignity of our state legislature. Law-makers who realize their dignity and their responsibility before God and the citi- zens o {their state should never toler- ate that laws are put on the statute book that are actually passed by only one house of the law-making body. “They give the second most ous knock-out to the dignity.’ of the governor of the state.
