(Established 1873) <i> IN BOLSHEVIKILAND Deplorable excursions into the primitive such as that which stirred the Golden Valley country last week when a rancher was shot down in a gun- fight with an armed posse are the common order of the day in that section of “Free Russia” con- trolled by Lenine and his followers. The Courier- News, to our knowledge, has expressed no horror over these daily occurrences there. We are rather surprised that it should be so much concerned over one such incident here at home. Murder and manslaughter and rape and rob- bery and arson are not nice things, but they have all played a prominent and constant part in the Lenine regime in Russia, and readers of the Courier-News have heard naught but good report of that regime. Is it not entirely possible that Golden Valley county’s problem arises from an over-intent assimilation of these glorifications of Bolshevism ? paper and also the local news pub! EXTRANEOUS MATTER lished | ing of each other. '00| this board in the pioneer work which it has had to interest and aim we: have, rather; than’ enlarge upon and become obsessed by those antagonisms which breed trouble. Having charged together against a common enemy, we are now sitting down at the table to talk over the adventure and find what else beside courage each can admire in the other, and plan together for another day. This is as it should be among men, and there is hope in the mere fact that nations are seeking for understand- WHY NOT SHOW US SOMETHING? The North Dakota highway commission has had no more consistent defender than The Tribune. We have appreciated the difficulties confronting do. But we sympathize, too, with travelers who are compelled to use our Burleigh county highways in their conviction that the state highway board, with all the talent and the funds it has at its dis- posal, could and should show us something better in the form of scientific road-making in the imme- diate vicinity of the state capital than has yet been disclosed. The state highway commission has standing idle at the capitol several scores of high-powered, four-wheel-drive army trucks, anyone of which could haul a drag or a surfacer over at least twenty miles of our principal trunk-line highways in a day. The cost would be insignificant. There is not today the labor shortage that would have militated against such an experiment one year ago. Three men at the most could operate such a rig. The combined expenses of such a crew should not exceed $50 per day. Burleigh county is thoroughly disgusted with the treatment which its highways have received up to this time. Year after year we have seen good prairie trails torn up, turnpikes built at great expense and then abandoned to deteriorate into a hopeless tangle of ruts, sand, weeds and mud. For the benefit of those who may be inclined to take things too literally it should be said that Walked D. Hines did not suffer a cracked lip from an over-liberal grin when he penned his comment upon the weighty consideration due any resolution adopted by the North Dakota legislative assembly. The bracketed comment was extraneous matter, not original with the director general of the United States railways and not attributed to him. It arose out of a more complete understanding that Mr. Hines may have of the origin of the concur- rent resolution adopted by the 16th assembly call- ing for the establishment of a new freight and pas- senger route from the Missouri river metropolis to Twin City points. Personally, we cannot conceive of so dignified and important a personage as Mr. Walker D. Hines cracking his lip, even tho he were thoroughly familiar with the entire history of 'this” polite’ little’dig’at' the expense of the Northern Pacific. DEMON NICOTINE IS NEXT A great many North Dakota men who like their cigar or their pipe or (whisper it gently) their cigarette will be surprised to learn that the dollars which they contributed last march to the Women’s Christian Temperance union’s “Million Dollar Derg are to be used in crushing “demon nico- ine.” Alas, ’tis true! The dear White Ribboners in scouting about for new worlds to conquer have discovered old Nick in his lair and have determined that he must go. Before March 20, 1924, they hope to have con- gress submit a constitutional amendment forbid- ding the cultivation, sale, use or export of the weed, for smoking or chewing purposes. This movement was predicted by a humorous writer who had a long screed in the Saturday Eve- ning Post several weeks ago. Most of us regarded it merely as humor. Woe is me! ’Twas very good prophesy, and we may live to see borne out his other predictions that, after tobacco is put where it belongs, with Jess Willard and Demon Rum, in the Down and Out club, our matutinal coffee and postprandial tea will next be assailed.: Then what a wonderfully efficient and moral lot of people we should become, barring, perhaps, our inordinate love for chocolate fudge or some similar vice, to which the White Ribboners then may have time to turn. SOME LETTER! Felicitating the London Times on its birthday, Secretary Franklin D. Lane of the interior de- partment gives our British cousins an insight into American use of English. He says: From July 4, 1776, to July 4, 1919, from Lord North to Lord Northcliffe, from George the Third to Lloyd George—some change! From Thomas Jefferson, idealist and son of Virginia, drafting a declaration of war on behalf of 13 little colonies, to Woodrow Wilson, idealist and son of Virginia, drafting a declaration of peace for the world in Paris—some change! (For those not yet familiar with the peculiar idioms of the American tongue it may be remarked that the word “some” is now used as a joyous ex- plosive giving emphasis in the superlative to the word following—as if in speaking of the Austra- lians one were to say, “Some fighters!” It is be- lieved to be of pure Elizabethan origin.) Some change! Some contrast! Some growth! Therein lies the significance of this issue of The Times. Truly, truly, this is indeed a changed world! And we have had to put up with these conditions solely because no attention was given even the most elementary principles of maintenance. Dr. G. A. Rawlings has suggested a plan which appears feasible to the layman. The Tribune would suggest that the state highway commission act on this plan or present a better one. In any event, in the name of all that is reasonable, show us something! That row at Fiume will be interpreted in Ber- lin as the first evidence of a reasonable hope that the indemnity may be dodged. The very fact that we were warned against entangling alliances would indicate that some alli- ances are not entangling, and therefore not unde- sirable. [arma eons —] “NEXT!” It is with much regret that we announce to our readers and friends that this issue of the Gazette will be the last. For eight years we have printed and published this little paper with pleasure and profit to ourself and, we trust, with satisfaction to our many readers but in the last few months laws have been enacted by the Nonpartisans that sounds the death knell of most of the small news- papers in the state. The powers now dominating the state have de- DR. DARROW HELD; KICKED SENATOR; THREATENED. LIFE tioner in Jail in Default of $3,000 _ Bond Fargo, N.

Senator - Peterson was the leading’ sounsel for this cided to go into the newspaper business them- selves and by clever manipulation and exercise of what they term “big biz” principles have deprived the small newspapers of the right to exist. All outside business of a legal nature which has meant the difference between profit and loss to the small publisher will in the future be controlled by the Townley-Brinton-Mills syndicate and to those not of the favored few it only remains to run at a loss or close up shop. While we firmly believe that the conditions inaugurated by this socialistic element cannot exist for long we have elected to discontinue the Gazette rather than to await an uncertain length of time for more favorable devel- opments that are bound to come. We thank you.— McKenzie Gazette. THE CASE OF MR. FRAZIER Governor Lynn J. Frazier has been groomed for presidential timber by a bunch of Minnesota followers of Townley. Governor Frazier, in a statement, kills the plan for he says his farm looks better than ever to him and he will retire to it after his present term expires. Governor Frazier evidently has had his fill of Townley dicta- tions, and Townley violence rule, and Townley hypocrisy, and could stomach no more. No man living would wilfully turn down the presidential possibility if he thought the platform of the party which ‘supported him was O. K., but in this case it is plain to see that Governor Frazier is sick of the whole thing for it has gone to a greater extent than he expected when he took the first nomina- tion. Governor Frazier, it is said, told a personal friend of the opposition, that he could not, stand such despotism as the printing bill and wanted it killed and desired to veto it, but pressure was too strong and with an aching heart he signed the measure that killed many newspapers. If the governor would only speak his real convictions and sentiments the state of North Dakota and the nation would honor him the more, and many facts undreamt of would come to life to show up the We are seeking to know each other, to find what we haye in common, what points of mutual radical anarchist bolshevik leaders of this state today—Kenmare News. the doctor.

NOW, THEN, CET'S MARCH PAST THE FRONT OF You AN qa “Uy, “allyl My TN el al) CLAIM KARL’S JEWELS Dispute Between Italy and Aus- tria Over Art Collections. Italians Partioularly Anxious, to Re- cover Former Austrian Emperor's “Florentine: Gem.” Vienna.—A new turn’has been given to the dispute between Italy and Aus- tria over art eollections by the state- ment that former Emperor Charles has carried off. to Switzerland the imperial Jewels, the whole of which are regard- ed in. Austria as being his private Property, but claims for which have been! filed by Italy, ‘parttcularty’ the Florentine diamond of 133 1-3 carats. The Italian commissioner, Professor D’Ancona, has stated that this \dia- mond formed part of the collettion left to the city of Florence under tke: will of Anna Maria Medidi, but that it was carried off by the house of Austria in 1748 when Duque Leopold became em- Peror of Austria. He said the Austrian government had been notifted of Italian claims to this Jewel months ago, and if ft: per- mitted Emperor Charles to carry it away it would be necessary to obtain Possession of it again. It is unknown here whether the emperor has dispos- ed of the diamond while in Switzer- land in order to pay his living ex- penses. Professor D’Ancona has _ carefully traced the history of this remarkable stone which, legend relates, was lost on the battlefield: of Granson by Charles the Bold, duke of Burgundy, six ceaturies ago. |, It was picked up and believed to be a plece of glass and sold for a small sum. It found its way to Switzerland, where it was sold for 11,000 ducats to the duke of Milan, and brought to Rome in 1601 by Ferdinand Medicl. It has been on exhibition of late years In the Hofburg museum. Professor D’Aneona pointed out to the Associated Press correspondent that tae Austrians cannot claim that in surtendering this stone they would be injuring Vienna’s art collection since they were willing to part with it to the former emperor who {is now a private citizen and has left the coun- try. _ CARVING OF TURKEY Here is a piece of documentary evi- dence to prove the need of opening the doors of the old ‘Turkish empire to free commercial intercourse with the western world. This method of irrigation ditching is used today in notthern Mesopotamia. The men do not even use first-class shovels. The British have introduced many new agricultural implements, but most of AAS HARVESTED. HS IGEST CROP Short.Able to Do Heavy Work Since Tanlac Built Him Up—Gains 21 Pounds. ~ “{ have just gotten through the big- gest harvest I ever had, and I know it it hadn’t been for Tanlac building me up like it has, I wouldn't have ‘been able to stand up under the heavy work and the long hours,” said Harry Short, a well known farmer of Heyworta, IL, recently. “[ had been having trouble with my stomach for close, on to ten years,” continued: Mr.“Short. “At times it just looked like everything I ate soured, formed gas and bloated me up so tight that I was in misery and I suffered a lot with cramps; in fact, sometimes I couldn't even take a drink of cold water without having these cramps. When I had these spells with my stomach I was nearly always troubled with attacks of dizziness and I finally got so run down in heakn that I fell off over twenty pounds in weight and was so terribly thin and weak that I.just“wasn’t able to do any hard work of.any sort. I was in just this shape when I took the ‘flu’ last winter and that, along with the pneumonia’ ‘that came on later, pretty’ ‘near put an end to me and I certainly had a hard fight to even pull through, and when@ finally did get up I was in worse fix.than be- fore. I was so weak I couldn't even walk to the barn without giving out completely and my stomach was In such bad shape that soup was about all I could eat and I didn’t have a bit of appetite and just the smell of fooa nauseated me. “I tried different medicines and treatments but nothing seemed to do me a particle of good until I began taking Tanlac and it is this medicine that I owe the good health I have to- day. I had just about finished my first bottle of Tanlac when I could notice that my strength and energy were coming back to me and it also seemed to do my stomach a powerful lot of good right from the start and my appetite began to pick up. So I kept right on taking it and now I can eat just anything I want and my appetite is so good I can hardly wait for meal time to come and when I do sit down to the table I can certain- ly eat a plenty and nothing I eat gives me a bit of trouble afterwards. 1 feel as strong and sound as I ever did in my whole life and can do more work and put in longer hours at it than I ever could. - I ‘have gained twenty-one pounds in weight and act- ually feel like Tanlac has made me over completely, because I really haven't felt so good since I was a boy and a medicine that will do as. much for me as Tanlac has done certainly deserves praise and I for one, am go- ing to give it plenty.” eat Tanlac is sold in Bismarck by Jos.

Los Angeles, Cal—With only a 25- cent piece in his. pocket, Nicholas Cascarino, sixteen, arrived in Los An- geles the other evening from New York. He walked-the entire distance, having started for his destination in November of last year. The lad was footsore and dazed from the strain of many months’ travel. “Everybody. in New-York ts talking About Los Angeles,” he declared, “and I sure am glad I came here.” Nicholas had ‘expected to find his only relative in the world here. He belieyed his unele, to be Hving in Los Angeles; but upon arriving learned that his relative had moved from the elty over four years ago. The boy encountered many hard- ships en route. In Indiana he was caught in a windstorm which left him with weakened: eyes: In ‘the moun- yains he walked for days through a long snowshed...

Pirate.gold is not the lure; Cocos island is too far away. The Spanish main doesn’t lie handy and Captain Kidd never buried a sin- gle doubloon'in the Wisconsin prairies and hills. It’s pearls the boys are go- img after. They will go into camp and hunt for pearl mussels while wading barefoot in ‘the shoal waters or: will drag for them from boats. Some dar- ing spirits may do. a little diving. These mussel shells are lined with mother-of-pearl, valuable in button. making and frequently inclose a pre. cious pearl.
