But perhaps the league will think better of its plan for the impeachment of Obert Olson, Tom Hall, Carl Kositzky and Bill Langer. There is an easier way. These state officers could be made innocuous, just as the state superirttendent of public instruc- tion has been, by removing heb em public boards, or placing them in a minori#ythereon, and by transferring their official duties to the board of administration or to some newly created body to be appointed by the governor. That would be much simpler than impeachment, and probably it would cause less commotion. ; Everyone will be glad to see North Dakota aligned, through the special session, with other enlightened commonwealths which have decreed that the mothers of the nation shall have a voice in the making of the laws under which their sons and daughters musi live. If something practical can be done to relieve farmers who were hardest hit by last summer’s drouth, it is to be commended. Apart from these two reasong for the calling of an extraordinary: assembly can be found only political considerations. The calling of the special session means, in all probability, that there has been a counting of! league noses and that Mr. Townley is satisfied that he can still control enough legislators to do pretty much as he wishes. In this event we prob- ably will see something more radical than has heretofore been offered in the way of an “indus- trial program.” The “program” as it came from the hands of its makers in the sixteenth assembly was a rather patchy affair. The special session will either add or remove patches, but it can be depended upon, if Mr. Townley is still firmly in the saddle, to do nothing conservative. Beach seems to breed them that way. BEAUTY AND BRAINS An eastern man asked a lot of New York women whether they’d rather be beautiful or clever. You know what their verdict was. clever they chose beauty. And the mere man said: “I told you so!” That’s how much mere man knows about the subject under discussion. He at wom mu has, Being and doubtless always will, that: womg@ must be beautiful OR clever. Ie Asa matter of fact she is clever AND beau- tiful. Being beautiful doesn’t make it impossible for her to be clever. Nor does the possession of brain power make her less beautiful. Some of the most famous women on the pages of history were the most beautiful and the cleverest of their times. Oh, no, Mister Man, woman doesn’t have to choose between beauty and brains! She can have both! or 0| of the two most successful buildings of the Chi- er in his early career, but like the three poets first mentioned, was incapable of any mental concen- tration after one drink of brandy. Three great American architects were drinkers. One was an epicurian drinker who brought on a physical malady as the result of it and from which he died in the middle of a very brilliant career. The two others were periodical drinkers. One did his best and most important work previous to his 32d year and before he became a drinker. The third was so unreliable in the matter of his engagements that he could not practice his art in- dependently, but remained in the employ of other architects. While he personally designed many important structures in this country, including one cago World’s Fair, yet he.never received full pub- lic credit for them. We are inclined to think that belief in drink as an aid to artistic production is a delusion. Its effect on the quality of art is highly ques- tionable and it has certainly added nothing to the quantity of art. Lest you forget—The Red Cross Roll Call. Two can’t live as cheaply as one can live, but two can live as cheaply as one does live. You can find Europe’s new boundary lines on new maps, but that is the only place you can find them. In the old days before there was so much talk about the American standard of living, fewer men wore silk shirts. The salaried man feels a deep sympathy for the poor mechanic who is burdened with the task of spending eight dollars every day. We get only 41-4 per cent on the money we lend England, while she gets 7 per cent from Per- sia. But then, we have no strangle-hold on Eng- land. oe eee WITH THE EDITORS { ee ee ee eee A TOWNLEY BANK Just three weeks ago the Scandinavian-Ameri- can bank at Fargo, N. D., was declared insolvent by the state banking board and was put into the hands of a receiver. This bank existed mainly for the benefit of Mr. Townley’s Farmers’ Nonparti- san league and divers and sundry political-finan- cial concerns in which the aspiring genius of that illustrious -socialist finds manifestation. The league and its subsidiaries owed the bank $432,-; which nearly $735,000 was lent in excess of its lawful capacity. Much of the collateral was of the queerest. In the case of the Nonpartisan league and its units post-dated checks, not in the keeping of the bank, were the insecurity. “A vast, un- wieldy, financial monstrosity unable to take care of itself,” said the assistant attorney general. To the irrepressible Mr. Townley, inexhaustible in hope and resources, the closing of the bank was ‘just another attempt by our political enemies to ruin the farmers, this time through their pocket- books, and it can’t be done.” The attorney general and the secretary of state, elected on the Nonpar- tisan league ticket, which they have since re- nounced, were responsible for the closing of the charges were made. The governor, like them a member of the banking board, called the closing an “effort to wreck and destroy all farmers’ organiza- tions.” That is the note which Mr. Townley is bugling to his still responsive leaguers. The bank has been closed by the wicked enemies of the league for the purpose of ruining the league. The bank must be reopened. Mr. Townley pro- poses to restore it. It must have a capital of $300,000, a surplus of $300,000. He is sure that it will have $500,000 of deposits on the opening day. So he gathers the league farmers of North Dakota and Minnesota. Those fortunate citizens flow into Fargo in automobiles and special trains. Like an army with banners they: march through BISMARCK DAILY TRIBONR NO aty!

In other caSes the temperature does 1ot return to normal but only falls a degree or two for a short time and then iises again, This is called the false ‘erisis "and is of unfavorable import, specially if accompanied by profuse sweat and blueness of the skin. In all cases of pneumonia a doctor ;should be called at once. The patient ‘should be put to bed in a large, airy {room, from which bric-a-brac, curtains ‘and ‘unnecessary furniture have been | removed. Care should be taken to collect all sputum and other discharges from the nose and throat, on bits. of gauge .or rag, or paper napkins, and burned. If the patient is so situated: that he can be attended only by someone who must also look after others in the fam- ily, it is advisable that such attendant wear a wrapper, apron or gown over the ordinary house clothes while in the “ck room, and slip this off and wash and disinfect the hands when leaving to look after the others. The patient should have separate dishes and these should be sterilized with boiling water after use, HOW ROOSEVELT AS SHERIFF IN MEDORA COUNTRY YEARS AGO OUTWITTED BOLD THIEVES young fellow, but I remember that he gaye me the impression of being heavy und rather large. : ‘As I approached him, he stopped me, with a gesture, asking me whether I could. direct him to a doctor's, office. 1 was struck by the way he bit off his {words and showed his teeth, J told him I was the only practic- ing physician, not only in Dickinson, Koosevelt and his men surprised them in camp and captured them. But that was not the end of the trouble that Roosevelt and his party had to meet. If anything, it was only the begin- ning, for the thieves had exhausted their own food. supply and the Elk- horn expeditionary férce was nearing the. end of its own resources. The ice. jam held firm, There was no: going. forward or backward and soon captors and captives together were living on baked flour paste made with muddy. water ‘and’ without. baking powder. Roosevelt and his men went share and share alike with the thieves. The ay- erage westerner, of course, would have banged the thieves out of han¢, out cvidently that did not occur, co. Roose- velt. His duty,‘as he saw it, was to jland those, thieves Ju the county jail, which: was in Dickinson, and he ¢le- termined ‘to do it,. whatever the cost. After two days’ exploration in the cold March weather, Roosevelt came at last to the ranch of @'man named Jap Holtz, west of the Killdeer mountains, and realizing that further transpor- tation by boat would be slow and ted- jous, determined to take the thieves across the country. He sent Sewall and Dow down the river with the boats and, packing the thieves into'a wagon, himself followed on foot. The thieves were in an ugly mood. He ,did_ not dare to put himself in a position where they might catch him drowsing. He ordered the driver, therefore, to walk his horses and, with a cocked Win- chester in his hands, trudged for two days through the sticky gumbo. He spent the intervening night ata ranch house,, but, though ‘the thieves slept, there was tio. sleep for their captor. Propped against thé door, he watched ail night, gun in hand, +", He did not seem worn,,out or un- duly tired as he told me.thig story. He had just come from. thgni¢@fl, hav- ing deposited his prisoners at last, and had had no sleep for 48 hopgs; but he spoke with the vivacity of a. man who is never. caught other than wide awake, He was frankly thrilled by the adventure he had been through. It did not. seem to occur to him that.he had done anything particularly com- tendable, but he was, in his. own parase, “pleased ‘as Punch” at the idea of having participa in areal ad- venture. He was just like a boy. I thought then, and I have continued to think sinte, that Roosevelt rendered a brave alld important.service to the community in bringing in those thieves. Many men .would: have thought twice before they decided to build a boat and “SYRUP OF FIGS” FOOL LIKE AN OLD FOOL — | CHILD'S LAXATIVE. Look at tongue!

I used to watch his face. He would scowl, or he would set his teeth, or he would grin; by the expression of his face you could see the thoughts that were passing through his head. We talked of everything under the sun, everything except politics, I re- member that he talked about Ameri; canism and how we owed it to our children that they should be brought up with American ideals and with full regard for the duties and responsi- pilities»of American citizenship, He 1.ever spoke of money or of money-mak- ing; neither seemed to interest him. His chief aim in life even then seemed to be to make the world a better place to live in People ‘have said that he was dog: matic. He did not impress me 80. cannot remember a single instance in all the time I knew him that he im- pressed me as one who wanted to run his own opinions down the throats of bis hearers. He was always sure of his ground, that was all. He knew liimself thoroughly and recognized his own measurements. When he had gone over the whole field of argument in his mind, and had come to a’ con- dusion which he believed to'be right, ne expressed his opinions with all the force that he possessed. That was all. “UP IN -MABEL’'S ROOM” A frivolous farce of feminine fvibles, best: describes’ “Up in Mabs iW the famous New “ork farce which A. Fi.

It is, briefly, the story of how a.young man’s indiscretion came back to plague him in the very first days of his honey- moon. ‘The evidence in the, case was nothing less than a ‘pink chemise, in- scribed with the donor’s name and in the possession of the fascinating but mischievous widow. to whom it was given. All the action transpires in a country’ home on Long -Island, where the unfortunate hero arid his bride are spending their honeymoon.
