The types of government positions from which women were excluded were: Clerical service, 16 per cent; expert office service, 25 per cent; pro- fessional service (editorial work, teaching, nurs- ing), 30 per cent; mechanical and manufacturing, 87 per cent; domestic reformatory and rur. vice, 83 per cent; economic and sociological ser- vice, 100 per cent; physical science, 64 per cent; medical science, 75 per cent, and engineering 67 per cent. Possibly for some of these jobs women are un- fitted. Possibly men can do the work better. If so let men do the work. There’s plenty of work for which women ARE fitted. The point is not that men were employed. The point is that in all these instances women were barred from the ex- aminations for the positions. Women were not permitted to prove they could do the work as well as men do it. This is neither good business nor good policy. The government officials. who barred women probably do not know that 800,000 women are employed in scientific or professional pursuits out-| side the government service; more than 2,000,000 | women are working in private manufacturing and | mechanical establishments, and more than 600,000 are in clerical occupations in private employ. | BUILDING HOMES Good come out of evil. With this era of high rentals and increased cost of building we are being stirred to thought and action for faster and more economical build- ing. The other day at Union, N. J., under the per- sonal supervision of Thomas A. Edison, the in-} ventor, and Charles H. Ingersoll, the dollar watch | man, a cement house was poured and completed just 10 days after the first material was delivered | on the ground. While the building industry has made great | strides in the last generation, yet it has not made} that of other industries where parts are highly} standardized and made interchangable and to eco- nomical quantity production. Buildings are still “made” or “built” rather than manufactured or constructed as in the case of cheap watches or clocks, sewing machines, type- writers or low priced automobiles. Most of the reforms in building methods have; been for the monumental, commercial and indus- trial structures rather than the average dwelling house that most of us can afford to occupy. And the reason has been a good one. Up until about now there has not been the economic demand. And with the demand there will be the supply of reform. Economic necessity is the mother, father,! nurse and school teacher of accomplishment. That the building industry has made progress is indicated by the fact that all building opera- tions are in the nature of assembling on the ground rather than making or forming all the parts up from the raw material and by hand labor on the ground as in times past. The steel, stone, terra cotta and wood parts of a structure are now cut or formed in well ordered manufacturing plants, equipped with power ma- chine tools, they are numbered, taken to the build- ing ground ‘and put into place. But it still requires from 90 to 120 days to build the average frame dwelling house. ,But dwelling houses, such as proposed by Edi- son and Ingersoll, cannot be economically con- structed one or two at a time as is usually the case. According to the standardized plan they must be constructed in large numbers and all at once. Either a large number of individual owners must agree to build at once, or the project must be in the hands of a real estate promoter who will complete the houses and sell to individual owners according to demand. z In this way the real estate promoter will per- form a function much after the manner of the merchant who assembles a stock of standardized manufactured goods for the convenience of the community. ‘ iS We never solve a problem until it is presented. And no doubt the problem of high rentals and lower cost home owning, and the tendency of which is indicated by the Edison-Ingersoll accom- plishment at Union, N. J., the other day. Isn’t Mr. Lofthus the fast little worker! Now if the league could only arrange to im- peach George M. Young! “Learn to labor and to wait” has given place to “Learn to loaf and get it now.” Thirty-three may defeat the treaty, if there are 33 who wish to be unwept, unhonored and unsung. Halldorson is gone. He made the mistake of knowing what a statement contained before he signed it, said statement relating to the very im- portant matter of the financial standing of a bank with, liabilities of $1,600,Q00, and of sticking to it. The Courier-News is quite confident that Mr. Wilson could have had nothing to do with the sug- gestion made in Washington on Saturday that the eve of a cold Winter is not an opportune time for a general strike of bituminous coal-miners. Per- haps not, but we know of a man who was born 61 years ago today, who, were he in the White House today, wouldn’t have left the writing of this proc- lamation to any member of his cabinet, nor would he have worried particularly about the effect of this proclamation upon the Courier-News and. in- flammatory organs of its ilk. 2 tnt — eect l WITH THE EDITORS | [abort STRIKES AND “STRIKES” The grade teachers at Bismarck went on strike recently for another $100 a year increase in salary. The Bismarck Tribune comes out in favor of granting the demands of the strikers by saying that under present conditions the teachers nist have more money in order to live and clothe them- selves as they should. This is what is called a justifiable strike. The teachers of Valley City did not strike but they appealed to the board of education for a raise to meet increased cost condi- tions and our board gave it to them which was proper. These are things that have to be met ithese days and no one is going to object to it. It is the unreasonable strike like that of the miners who want a-six hour day and a five-day week drawing a six-day pay that they object to. These kind of strikes are unreasonable and should not be allowed.—Valley City Times-Record. LEGISLATE THEM OUT Among the reports that are in circulation con- cerning the course to be pursued toward three of the state officials who have given offense to the managers of the Townley combination, it said that the impeachment process, concerning which threat& have been made from time to time, is not {regarded with unmixed approval. It is to be taken for granted that if Townley and his lieutenants could get Langer, Hall and Kositzky removed from office by impeaching them, impeachment would be undertaken in short order. But impeachment is a rather cumbersome process, and is necessarily attended with a good deal of publicity. The ac- cused officials would be entitled to an opportunity to state their case, and no matter what the result of the trial might be, facts might come to light which the Townley group would prefer not to have brought into too strong light. Then there can be no certainty about the issue of the trial itself. In such a case the senate is the trial body, and it takes two-thirds of the membership to convict. There might be enough men in the senate who would insist on a measure of fairness to prevent conviction on trumped-up charges, and would re- quire more facts than the prosecution would be prepared to present. It would be unpleasant for the bosses to have their prosecution fall flat. Hence there is doubt about the impeachment as a means of permanent removal. 7 Another ‘plan has been suggested. It is for the legislature to be called into extra session, and to have the offending officials impeached. Then it is proposed that the legislature shall adjourn, leaving the defendants, so to speak, up in the air. An impeached official cannot exercise the duties of his office until he is acquitted, therefore it is maintained that the governor could fill these places with men of his own choosing, and every- thing will be lovely. . It is possible that constitutional objections might prevent the carrying out of this plan. It would at least be doubtful. But we beg to offer another, which would work with certainty and dis- patch, provided the Townley machine can rely on a majority vote in each house for anything which it chooses to put over. Let the legislature meet and enact new laws transferring to new boards or commissions all the important duties now performed by thd attorney general, the secretary of state and the state audi- tor. The officials to be entrusted with the duties can be. appointed by the governor, and the desired object will be achieved. : It may be objected that the constitution pro- vided what the duties of these officials are to be. The constitution has something to say about the duties of the superintendent of public instruction, and a way has been found around that. It would be a reflection on the cunning of the league’s law- years to say that they are not able to find a way around anything that happens to be in the consti- BISMARCK DAILY TRIBONB The way of the thirsty after January 16, when the prohibition amendment to the federal constitution and the legis- lation enacted to carry out the purpos of the amendment become effective, i i Q jissued ?

Q.—Suppose the “guest” should be served so much that he would appear on the street later showing signs of in- toxication, would there be any penalty | for this? A.—None under the act, but numer- ous states have laws that bear on this, and the federal act does not affect those state laws on prohibition which are not in conflict with it. Q.—Where a person has liquor in is home and charges are brought that! iquor was not lawfully “acquired. pos- sessed and used,” upon Whom Shall the Lurden of proof be? A.—On the defendant.

Q—May a person move liquor, bought before war prohibition went into effect, out of a warehouse into his home? A—No, if it is not in a bonded gov- rehouse, During wartime eatechism an interview with a gov-| prohibition liquor for beverage pur- ernment officials in Washington on the/poses may be removed from a bonded warehouse only for export purposes. After the amendment goes into effect in January, 1920, liquor may be moved from a bonded warehouse only for in | medicinal, scientific, mechanical or sac- ramental purposes.

A—Under “Title 1” of the act, which concerns the enforcement of war prohibition, there is no prohibition against this, Under “Title 2,” which concerns the enforcement of the amend- oS 4 ts 2a {ment,. it would probably be necessary law reads, “bona-fide guests when en-/+, oitain a permit from the commis- sioner of internal revenue or one of his agents to transport the liquor. Q—Is not the law clear on this point as to whether the pérson who has bought liquor for his personal use may move it from one place to another? How about the many cases that will arise when a citizen moves from one city to another or from one State to another? A.—This is considered a ‘mooted peint in the act; one for interpreta- tion. It is said the original intention of the framers of the act was that it should not be done, as one can See that the procedure opens up many channels for fraud. Q.—In case the owner moves such a distance that transportation by rail- read is required. are there additional legal requirements to be met? A.—Yes. Under wartime prohibition ‘the railroads have been requiring evi- dence that the liquor to be shipped had been purchased before war prohibition went into effect. There are, in addi- tion, as preventives against shipments in many directions, the Webb-Kenyon and the Reed bone-dry laws, which, speaking in general terms, prohibit sipments of liquor in violation of state laws, and a large number of/states now have laws against the transportation of liquor through their territory. Q.—tThe act says that one may have jliquor legally held in his “private dwelling” and that no one shall search any “private dwelling” unless it is be- ing used for the unlawful sale of in- 'toxicating liquor. What is the defini- tion of “private dwelling”? A—That part of section 25, title 2, which covers this, reads: “The term ‘trivate dwelling’ shall be construed te include the room or rooms used and occupied, not transiently, but solely as a residence in an apartment house, hottl or boarding house. i Q—By whom are arrests to be made? if A—By any officer of the law, which includes, of Course, state officers.

Permits must be procured from the commissioner or his agents Ly the manufacturer to use liquor in the manufacture of the following ar- teles: . Medicinal preparations manu- factured according to stated formulas; patented, patent and proprietary medi- cines unfit for beverage purposes; toilet, medicinal and antiseptic prepar- ations unfit for beverage’ purposes; flevoring extracts and syrups unfit for boverage or intoxicating purposes, Per- inits to sell the manufactured articles are not required, Q—In the procedure against viola- tion of war prohibition, is the prosecu- tion directed primarily against the per- sen or against the place where the violation is committed? A.—Any room, house, building, boat, yehicle, structure or place of any kind where intoxicating liquor is sold is de- clared by the act to be a common nuis- ance and any person who maintains or assists in maintaining such a nuis- ance shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and be fined not less than $100 nor more than $1,000, or be imprisoned not less than thirty days or more than one year, or both. Such property shall be isabject to a lien and may be, sold to pay all fines and costs assessed against the occupant, Q—Under the law is it possible le- g to makein the home any kind of drink containing alcohol? A.—Yes; this may be done out of fruit juices. Q—Does the standard fixed for all other alcoholic beverages—that they shall contain less than one-half of one per cent of alcohol—apply to cider and fruit juices made exclusively for home use? | A—aAccording to the opinion ex- pressed by framers of the lasv, in the debates in congress, the question here o2 what is non-intoxicating is not to be governed by the one-half of one per cent standard. 3 Q.—That is, the test here will be whether signs of actual intoxication are shown? A.—That is it. In guarding against the manufacture of intoxicating drinks in the home the sale of liquor recipes and formulas is forbidden. Q.—Under ‘the cider and fruit juice provision as applying to the home, is it permitted to serve a guest in the home? A—This is not covered, but it ap- pears it would be permitted. Q—How about 2.7 5 beer after the act goese into effect? A—It will be as dead as a door nail, The authorities will proceed to seize at once, as public nuisances, those places where any beverage which con- tains more than one-half of one per cent of alcohol is sold. Q,—How about the Jaws in the va- ‘riouk states which differ from the fed- eral law? A—tThe federal law. takes prece- dence, \ Q.—Does the act make any provision for the 55000,000 net gallons of potable spirits now in government bonded warehouse in this country?

I tried a good many doctors as well as everything 1 could hear of that was recommended for my com- plaint. I was so troubled with ca- tarrh of long standing and I had drop- sical swellings in my feet and ankles which the doctors said was caused by a weak heart.

A.—No one but a physician holding a permit to prescribe liquor shall issue any prescription for liquor. ‘This must be after careful physical examination or, if that is mpracteable, on the best nrormation obtainable that the use of such liquor as a medicine is necessary. v 'o | PEOPLE'S FORUM | SUCCESS OF TOWNLEYISM Glen Ullin, N. D., Oct. 27, 1919. The success of the Townley move- ment is due to a variety of causes but to my mind the skillful financing of the party ‘is the most important ele- ment of this success. The, sixteén dollar membership fees and the one dundred dollar checks ‘farmers are induced .to give, so freely are the power behind the party... “’Tis money that makes the mare go,”—and with this money farmers are. paying for their own deception. High priced so- cialistic speakers have ‘been secured with this money to conduct a political campaign of such skill and. persist- ance as is new to political history. Never: before in history‘ did the masses so eagerly pay the hire for their own. looting. This most cun- ning. device is the scheme to control the public press. This. Townley. could not hope to do at the outset, hence he described the public press calling it the kept press dnd at the same time established his party press, com- pelling each member to take at least one of his papers, which skillfully poisoned and prejudiced’ the readers mind so-he would rarely: read any other paper. In any event his mind was shut like a clam-shell to every thing but Townley arguments. Thanks to the success of this campaign, he soon was able to seize the govern- ment and the supreme court of the state. His next step has been to seize the financial foundation of the inde- pendent state press. Should he suc- ceed in getting control of the entire IN. Dak. press he willbe able to usher in a rein of darkness under cover of which his banking will be highly suc- cessful from the standpoint of all Bolshevists. (Signed) Fraternity.
