(Established 1873) ed ————— = OUR COMMERCIAL CLUB Self sacrifice and public service are a badge of good citizenship. Bismarck always has been for- tunate in having the highest type of citizens at the head of its Commercial club. We cannot at this moment think of a single man who stands for much in Bismarck today who has not at one time or another been prominently identified with the Bismarck Commercial club. Such men as Andrew Miller, F. P. Conklin, C. L. Young, A. W. Lucas and H. P. Goddard have served the club as its chief ex- ecutives. In the board of directors and in the ranks have been other men, equally loyal to their community, as ready to subserve their private in- terests to those of the whole, and they have en- abled the club to establish a record of 13 years of unbroken progress. We see no possibility of a break in that record in the selection of the five men who yesterday were unanimously elected to the ‘Commercial club di- rectorate for the year to come. Chief Justice A. H. Christianson of the supreme court of North Da- kota, President W. E. Lahr of the Lahr Motor Sales Co.; General Manager P. R. Fields of the In- ternational Harvester Co., Secretary and General Manager H. J. Duemeland of the Bismarck Gro- cery Co., and F. B. Klein, merchant tailor, are young men of the same fine stamp as their prede- cessors. Few men of their age have gone further and accomplished more. Not one, we believe, has ~ “passed forty ,and yet each stands today-at a point which ‘would be a brilliant-goal--for-a:-tife-time’s striving. All have been active in Commercial clib mattérs)havedeveloped with the club and with Bismarck. 7] 5)..> # To President’ H. P.’ Goddard and fellow mem- bers of the old board who retire with him, Bis- marck’ owes much. The club has never had a better chief executive than Harry Goddard, nor has.there been a time when:directorate and mem- bership worked together in closer and more ef- fective ‘harmony. To the directors who are com- ing in the community owes the fullest suport and encouragement, for they have a great task before them, and if they do well those things that are to be done there must be back of them the’same team work and the same enthusiasm that has carried Bismarck over the top in every bit of war work undertaken during the year now closing. The Tribune extends to the Bismarck Commer- cial club, its directors and members the hope that all good fortune and success and appreciation may attend their efforts during the year of reconstruc- tion that is before us. WAR'S LESSONS WILL MAKE RETURN SOLDIERS SEE HOME EVILS IN A aan “ SOCIAL LIGHT War has taught HOW TO SAVE AS WELL AS DESTROY LIFE. THe writer spent a half day in the great hos- pital-in ‘Neuilly, France, at the time when it was crammed with our American boy heroes of Cha- teau-Thierry and Belleau Wood. The healing of “incurable” wounds and performing of “imposs- ible” operations were commonplaces. e new truths and technique won in the war hospitals will be saving the lives of generations far in the future. The writer followed the American troops driving the Germans up a shell-torn road from Chateau- Thierry to Soissons. On every pump, well, spring public faucet or other source of water supply there was a notice telling if it was fit to drink. The returning soldiers will demand equal CARE FOR THE CIVILIAN WATER SUPPLY. They will have learned a thousand other things. about per- sonal hygiene that will make the democracy they have saved and will help to rule safer for its citi- zens. Nearly 20,000,000 men were examined for the draft. Physicians, hygienists and sanitarians will be digesting the information gained for another generation. Already startling and valuable con- clusions “concerning certain diseases have been drawn from these figures. The cantonments and camps taught volumes of the possibility of PREVENTIVE CARE. As we apply these lessons to cities lives will grow longer and happier. We mobilized thousands of our best physicians and taught them to think in terms of masses in- stead of individuals, to calculate how to preserve health rather than cure disease, to heal conditions rather than treat patients. Such training pre- pares them to SEE THE EVILS IN INDUSTRY, HQUSING AND GENERAL. SOCIAL..CONDI- TIONS. THE WORLD NBSEDS SOCIALLY- in health matters among millions of its friends. It has taught the beginnings of health care to mul- ference to conditions threatening human health that their parents have shown.

The slaughter of manhood has emphasized the value of human life and especially focused atten- tion on the NEED OF SAFEGUARDING IN- FANCY. The United States Children’s Bureau tells us that we now kill 500,000 babies annually by toleration of deadly remediable social condi- tions. — One year’s application of the lessons of war will replace the lives it cost. We paid a terrible price for these lessons. to learn them. READ THE STORY OF THE MOTHER WHO TELEPHONED TO 64 DOCTORS TO GET ONE FOR HER CHILD. Down in South Dorchester, Massachusetts, the other day a child fell sick with “flu.” Mother rushed to the telephone to call a doc- tor in a hurry. , She called 64 doctors before she found one able to come to the help of her suffering child! “Flu” is taking all the time and energies of doctors and nurses pretty nearly everywhere. Trying to prevent “flu” is wise, isn*tit? “ December 21 is longest night, says calendar; December 24, says our kid. Yank Army of occupation in Germany doesn’t seem heavily occupied just now. “President of road held in transit wreck,” says a headline. Catch ’em in a wreck and there’d be fewer smashups, you bet!

In the year which has passed we have had time and op- portunity to become more familiar with the or- ganization and what it is doing, and those who are working in the membership campaign this year believe with good reason that they look with con- fidence for a very largely increased list of mem- bers from the city this year—that they may rea- sonably expect, in fact, a membership of one hun- dred per cent. ; We must not’ make the mistake of supposing that the war is over. There has been a cessation of active hostilities, and there is every reason to believe that fighting on a large scale will not be renewed. But the war will not be over, and the armies cannot be withdrawn until the conditions of peace are formulated and the treaties of peace are signed by representatives of governments able and willing to carry out the conditions prescribed. And not until the most important of these condi- tions are actually performed can all of the troops of the allies safely be withdrawn from the ad- vanced positions which they occupy. Affairs in Germany afe in a chaotic state, and it is impossible to estimate what may result. Condi- tions may develop in that country at any time which will require the garrisoning of the whole country for the purpose of maintaining order. Should such conditions develop a large occupying force will be required. Russia is in a deplorable condition, chiefly as the result ofthe non-existence in the greater part of that country of government which will protect the individual in his personal and property rights. The wheels of industry have stopped, and it is not an exaggeration to say that in that country some millions of human beings are actually starving. It is necessary for us to help the orderly and in- dustrious people of Russia to get on their feet. We must help to put down anarchy there, and to do that we must bring the rifle and bayonet to bear on a lot of anarchists. It will probably be neces- sary for us to fight our way into Russia to prepare roads over which we can send food to her starving: People. In all of this work the Red Cross will play a part. In the care of those who are wounded in battle; in the nursing of those who are taken ill in camp life; in the distribution of food and clothing to the hungry and the naked ;—in these and scores of other ways there will be need for the activities of the Red Cross, with its full force working up to the limit, for a long time to come. yy G % hee doe: It will be doubly foolish and criminal to refuse ! one Judge -says;there is uo common law adoption;.says that there can be no adoption of a-child unless in, the manner provided by statute; but chil- dren were adopted long before people A CHRISTMAS STORY ABOUT TWO LITTLE BOYS AND A LITTLE GIRL AND THE FINEST DOLL IN HEBRON | /titiie'iseuus of ancient ome we cn Fiend how i good motherly wolf adopt- Several days ago the press of their savings in that doll, except |ed fe nursed Romulus aul emus i just enough to pa: rcels post and how the boys grew up and always ae prone 3 pathetici story. ee fo Binniahei: and they loved and cherished their wolf mother.

As it appears some of our early judges dig not know a noun from an adverb. ‘They wrote whale decisions with endless paragraphs and sentences covering a whole page. To give em- phasis to each proposition they under- scored it bya citation of a mass of de- cisions copied from ‘some table of cases, - In one case they decided that’ with- out atrial by ‘jury’ it was competent for a judge to convict an accused per- son -of crime and to sentence him to the penitentiary for two years.

Four years ago at the maternity hospital in Fargo poor young woman found herself the mother of an infant for which she had no father. It weighed four pounds, The mother being destitute and having to earn her own living by working as a domestic, she arranged with the ma- tron of the hospital to find some good family to adopt the-infant. A good motherly woman was found, who went from Wilton to Fargo, took the infant of two months, cuddled it to her bosom as her own child,-and returned with it to her good © home in Wilton. The foster mother being childless the in- fant at-once became the pet and the idol of herself and her husband and under the best of care and nursing it grew to be a bright. -and beauteous child. Of course it was with grief and tears that the natural mother gave away her infant and signed a paper releasing her claim to it. but she did it for the good of the infant and to preserve its life. Now she has married‘ the father of the child and lives with him’ some- wheres in Idaho,.and another iufant has come to her, and now she asks to regain. the first child and to carry it out of the state and beyond the jurisdiction of the court, and to rend the ties of love and affection which bind the little girl to the mother whu has preserved its Hfe.
