In the! early stages of the trial, Judge Miller ruled provisionally, | as it were, that @ process or prosecution existed when! Mr. Hughes filed an affidavit of disbarment against Mr. McCurdy, but he kept his mind open on the fine point { involved and in the end most ably disposed of the matter by ruling that no prosecution had occurred. It is not the intent of this editorial to discuss the merits of the disbarment charges. court very definitely disposed of them. We are con- cerned, however, with some aspects of the case as they touch general public policy. The law specifically defines prosecution and process. | Xt Protects citizens against malicious prosecution as %t/ with 500 under her pillow and when that didn’t work does against libel, but it draws a very definite distinc-/ tion between legal prosecutions and investigations of aj Such a law is all in the interest of wise public policy. Citizens may start investigations from the | best and highest of motives. In many instances these in- vestigations are prompted by an unselfish devotion toj Investigations started in that spirit are | in the interests of society. Those initiating them should} not be deterred, threatened or intimidated by threat of punitive litigation. such matters and both law and precedent protect in- dividuals and groups of individuals in their efforts to! get at the truth concerning vital public issues. Judge Miiler did not go into the why or the wherefore His was but a clean cut, concise statement of the law, but his remarks from the bench stimulate thought on the necessity and basis for such protection | for citizens who try to perform a duty as they see it.} Many times they err and some injustice may be done the object of their public activity, but generally speaking it! is better to have a free rein in such matters than to) curtail investigations, for as the popular saying goes, it all comes out in the wash anyway. Keeping the Record Straight | Jamestown capital removal boosters, agitating that issue, have become active of late and are cigeulating propaganda which needs to be answered de-) spite the fact that the people generally in North Dakota do not look with any favor upon their proposal. | In last Tuesday's issue of the Jamestown Sun, whose editor is keeping the matter alive through his publicity pulmoter, Mr. Hansen prints what purports to be a dis- pateh from a Pettibone correspondent. things this correspondent says: “There were nearly 25,000 voters who signed a petition | to let the people vote on the location of a new capitol; building in North Dakota. McKenzie gang originally without the people's say s0,! so the politicians again did the same thing as far as was in their power.” ; In the last portion of the statement, the Pettibone cor- respondent refers to the action of the legislature in passing the four-cent gasoline tax despite its prior rejection by the people. We are not concerned with the’ gas tax issue in this editorial, but the misinformation, deliberate or otherwise, of the Pettibone comment as it touches upon the issue of state capital removal is; worthy of comment. First of all, unless a formal contest is started, the secre- tary of state assumes that the 25,000 signatures in his office upon the capital removal petitions represent bona, fide voters. When the Pettibone correspondent says that} 25,000 voters signed the petitions, he is taking a great) deal for granted. If it were worth the time and expense probably a very large percentage of the signers could be disqualified as petitioners on the simple ground that) they are not legal voters in North Dakota or were not} when they signed the petitions. That is one of the; abuses of the initiative and referendum system of gov-) ernment and one hard to combat. But the most glaring inaccuracy of the Pettibone statement is that the capital was located at Bismarck) by the McKenzie gang “without the people's say.” Well, if that is true, the insane asylum was located at James-| town “without the people's say.” Neither statement would be true or fair. The Petti- bons correspondent has only to read his North Dakota history to learn that the state capital was located at Bismarck by a vote of all the people of North Dakota just as was the asylum at Jamestown, the University at Grand Forks and the Agricultural college at Fargo, not to mention several other institutions located at the same; time by & vote of the people. | If the Pettibone correspondent will read the state constitution, drawn by @ constitutional convention and ratified by @ vote of the people, he will find that many state institutions, including the state capital, were located by a referendum vote of all the people. The McKenzie gang were wise enough politicitans to let the people vote ‘on the location of these institutions and there were other gangs from Jamestown, Fargo and Grand Forks who felt the same way. There were the Winship-Spalding and La Moure gangs, for instance, and several others which were on the job as well as the McKenzie gang. If the Pettibone correspondent will refer to the leg- ‘lative manual of 1919, he or she will find that the first state election was held October 1, 1839, and two issues before people: adoption of the state constitu- Go tose at eraniat at ‘Eanvarct, and state Stutsman county voted on the issue For, 1,394 and Against, 47. 0 popular, It only squeezed through with a margin p Tribune feels that because the statement is being badd so frequently in the Jamestown Sun and in other laces that the people had nothing to say about the of the institutions of the state originally, it is seep the record straight. met in Bismarck for a long and arduous con- convention and did a very good job too. fad THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, MAY 2, 1931 Tribune Company, Bis- ny the postoffice at Bismarck +» President and Publisher Representatives (Incorporated) Co.

There is no valid reason why the work of the state's fathers should be undone at this date. Opportunity for a Poet | William Wadsworh Longfellow is best remembered, perhaps, for his poem “Evangeline” in which he recounted the tragedy of the Acadians, a French people who were transplanted by the British and cruel fate from their! peninsula in the North Atlantic to Louisiana, Nearly everyone will remember how he listened, as a schoolboy, to the brightest scholar in the class reciting that doleful tale with due emphasis upon the “whisper- ing pines and the hemlocks.” The cadence, as well as the words, contributed to the aura of tragedy. What an opportunity there is for a modern poet in the plight which the women and children of Hurley, Wis- consin, have encountered. Judging from the news reports, hauled off to answer to charges of violating the prohi- bition law. The innocents stood on the main street of Hurley Tuesday and waved goodbye as the menfolk left town, escorted by federal marshals. Several angles of the case, of course, mark it as differ- ent from the tale which made Longfellow famous, In the first place, Hurley isn’t a peninsula. On the contrary it seems to have been somewhat of a lake with lusty | home-brew liquor substituting for the briny deep. In the second place, the tragedy doesn’t seem to be perma- nent, since the same thing happened a month ago and the Hurley bootleggers were promptly re-united with their) families, and just as promptly resumed their business which seems to be that of giving their little city the rather intriguing title of “Bad Boy” of the Wisconsin; The material is not quite the same as that with which | The state supreme No citizen's hands should be tied in who are still Among other} It had been located by the { constitution passed with a major- Prohfbition was ; @nd picturesque garments and headgear of their Aca- | story ended there—except that the authorities now are ‘have as much as $500. books and his achievements. for a great-grandfather’s, in an entirely di! 4s nothing like the soft trade our makes it out to be. hereditary “Whos Who,” as Lord Exmou' values of the world have so changed in 1931 that we may credit Dr. Pellew with entire sincerity Longfellow workéd, of course. That would be too much/| to expect under modern conditions. Neither would the Story offer the same opportunity for imagination on the part of an illustrator, for the bulk of bootleggers’ women- 1k dress well and wear diamonds, scorning the humble dian sisters. | Nevertheless, we cannot escape the conviction that} there is opportunity there for an epic poet to write a true saga of twentieth century America, An Old Story | News dispatches tell of ® woman at Lidgerwood who was robbed of $500 by two Indian women who promised to cure her ills by witchcraft. They advised her to sleep said the denomination of the bills wag too large. She entrusted them with the money to get change and the looking for both the Indian women and the money, It is an old story and the tendency is to scoff at the credibility of the woman in question for believing in witchcraft, Indian or any other kind, in the first place. She will be condemned as careless in the handling of her affairs and some will wonder how she happened to No matter what their pot superstitutions may be, few intelligent people place faith in witchcraft. Indian medicine or any other medicine must have some logical basis to win acceptance these days and witchcraft is, essentially, a relic of the dark ages, although it till! flourishes in some localities and thousands of persons retain belief in it. In normal health it is probable that the Lidgerwood woman would have scoffed with the majority, but illness often plays havoc with the mind as much as with the body. Who can blame a person whose body is racked with pain for turning to almost anything when ordinary treat- ments have failed? We have long been told of the theory of a sound mind in a sound body and it may be that} the idea finds apt illustration in this case. If a cynic observes, however, that he has known plenty of queer minds in sound bodies it could not be successfully denied. Scientists have found in Nebraska the remains of a tiny camel which they say lived there 17,000,000 years ago. Either the wets or the drys should be able to make a prohibition argument out of that fact. They are using everything else, so why overlook this bet? A Georgia farmer has been shaving himself with a meat cleaver for 57 years. After he has practiced a little more he may be able to qualify for the job of slicing ham for sandwiches sold in some restaurants.

Nevertheless, he has not been invited to reign, and Count Bethlen, though he insisted that the Hungarian people is con- firmed in {ts adherence to the monarchical principle, gave no intimation that Prince Otto or any one else is soon to be summoned to the throne. Of course it is not impossible that the monarchy will be restored in Hungary, but it is difficult to believe that, if it is, the kingdom will long endure as such. The forces of history are moving in the opposite direction. Spain offers only the latest of a long series of repub- lican victories. The concept of superiority in the reign- ing family and its fringe of nobility is absurd to the modern man and becomes increasingly so every day. The concept of fealty to an individual personifying the state is childish in the extreme, and it cannot endure’ in the face of the proved incompetence of the occupants of thrones. Even the Turks have abandoned the monarchical no- tion. It is scarcely credible, then, that the Hungarians, with centuries of struggle for human freedom in their history, will long submit themselves to it. Fountleroy, 1981 (Grand Rapids, Mich., Press) Charles Ernest Pellew was an American citizen and @ chemistry professor at Columbia university, a highly educated and useful New Yorker. He had come over from England at the age of eight with his father, and acquired citizenship with the latter's naturalization. Today Prof. Pellew is again, after 60 years, a British citizen by virtue of recent action of the London courts, and 4s entering the House of Lords with the title Vis- count Exmouth. He is a viscount and lord because his great-grand- father, Admiral‘Edward Pellew, sailed into the harbor of Algiers, like our own Decatur, burned the entire battery, arsenal and fleet of the pestiferous Bey, Mberated three thousand prisoners, enforced an anti-slavery treaty and fozeed the Bey to apologize. He earned his titles—and his deeds have come down the years to reach into an American college classroom and make a British lord. Yet Charles Ernest Pellew now reveals that he would never have left America if his aged father lad not beg- ged him on his deathbed to live in Englaid. That is entirely believable.

To us is| given the privilege of caring for and protecting them, that they may grow strong, healthy and capable of weath- ering the storms of adversity.

In order to prevent hardening of the joints it is advisable io keep ‘he blood as alkaline as possi- ble through using plenty of foods containing potassium and sodium. Mustard Question: B. J.

TODAY IS THE- FIGHTING AT ARRAS On May 2, 1917, the British and Scottish troops made impressive gains in the Battle or Arras after a week of hard fighting. Two hundred prisoners were taken in the first forward sweep, when the Scots advanced in long lines and went through and beyond the village of Guemappe with loud shouts and cheers, Philip Gibbs, war correspondent, wrote: “For nearly thre: hours the Scots were held up by the fire of German machine guns and artillery, and suf- fered many casualties, but they fought on, each little group of men acting with separate initiative, and it is to their great honor as soldiers that they destroyed every machine- gun post in front of them. “Then between 11 and 12 in the morning the enemy developed his first counter-attack. He massed great numbers of men in the valley below Guemappe, flung a great storm sent forward his troops to work, around it. It was then that these’ Scottish troops showed their fierce and stubborn fighting spirit.” ee A complete breakfast was sent by plane recently from New York to the coast.
