(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, LEVINGS & BREWER (Incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON A Partial Victory Announcement by the war depart- ment that the date for the abandon- ment of Fort Lincoln has been changed to January 1, 1933, gives Bis- marck a taste from the cup of victory but only a taste. There will be no Jong and satisfying draught until the order has been recalled and the aban- donment project cancelled entirely. ‘The steps which must be taken to bring about this end are clear. New representations must be made to the president and to the war department. Additional and continuous influence and pressure must be brought to bear ‘until the desired end is achieved. If this city is to prosper and grow, its assets must’ be conserved and its rights protected by eternal vigilance. The Tribune was frank to condemn the abandonment proposal. It is equally frank to commend the war de- partment and President Hoover for granting this stay of execution. It suggests now that they write “finis” to the whole business by dismissing the entire proceeding from further consideration. In the interest of fair- ness, honesty in public affairs and benefit to the national defense they should do so. To those persons and institutions which contributed toward the victory already gained, Bismarck owes a debt of gratitude. It should be particu- Jarly appreciative of the good work done by its public servants, both at home and in congress. It should en- courage them to still further con- structive effort in order that the vic- tory recently gained may not be lost at some future time. G. O. P. Wets Are Active A meeting which may do much to add interest to the Republican pre- convention campaign is one to be held March 4 at Chicago by Republicans opposed to the -prohibition amend- ment. The sponsoring group is known as the “Republican Citizens Committee Opposed to Prohibition” and is headed by Raymond Pitcairn of Philadelphia. Invitations sent out to persons in all Parts of the country with whom the committee has made contact ask them to come, express their views and at- tend a banquet—at $10 per plate. The announced intention of the association is to force the Republi- can party to put a plank in its plat- form calling for the repeal of prohi- bition. The group asserts that the dry cause has fallen into the hands of zealots who, in turn, have imposed their will upon the Republican party. It expresses shame for the Republi- cans that they should permit such a thing and they seek an immediate change. Tn view of the effort which has been made to line up the financial backers of both major parties against prohi- bition, the meeting should prove in- , teresting to Wets and Drys alike. It { should give some basis upon which to | Predicate @ guess as to how dry or | how wet the Republican party will be next June. Friendly Fauna Data prepared by the state game and fish department, tending to prove that the pheasant is a friend rather than @ foe of the farmer, suggest the many peculiar prejudices which per- sigt against many of our birds, ani- meals and reptiles even-in the face of investigations disprove the them. . the birds the pheasant an example. A colorful and sddition to our countryside, thas been accused of eating seeded it has had time to sprout. it has been charged with Among serves 9s welcome relatively little corn -Blanting season.. In pheasants were oh- industriously away in Planted cornfields they have canst: been shot for purposes of examina- tion, Their crops disclosed that they were not digging corn but cutworms, one of the worst enemies of the corn crop. Hawks also are classified as harm- ful, usually by persons interested in the preservation of other game birds. Some kinds of hawks may rightfully be accused in this connection but ;there are at least a score of differ- ent varieties of hawk to be found in this area and many of them live al- most exclusively on rodents and other animals which are harmful to agri- culture. The prejudice against the snake probably goes back to the Garden of Eden. Many persons cannot possibly conceive that it is useful, and yet the non-poisonous varicties of snake, of which there are many, are: distinctly beneficial. In many cases black snakes and bullsnakes have been kept around farmyards and have proved ef- fective in ridding the premises of rats and similar vermin. Charges that they eat chickens and eggs have been generally disproved. { In view of these facts the case whiclt can be made for the pheasant | should give him a new lease on life and new encouragement to prosper and multiply. In the animal kingdom, as in human relations, we frequently fail to rec- ognize our real friends. That Prohibition Poll The Literary Digest launches an- other poll on prohibition, this time asking only one question and that re- garding the repeal or continuance of j the prohibition amendment to the jconstitution. The result probably will be a new storm of ballots and argu- ments and new fuel upon an already hot fire. Preliminary returns indicate a sharp gain in anti-prohibition senti- ment and there seems little cause to believe that later announcements will materially change the trend. The re-’ sult probably will be the repetition of the same charges and counter charges which have followed previous straw votes on the subject. If the Drys feel they are getting the worst of it in this poll, however, they have one consolation. It is that the vote is not official and probably will have little bearing upon what- ever decision may finally be made in the prohibition argument. It may be that the Wets have the faculty of winning straw votes but they have failed signally in many instances to send wet congressmen from districts which the straw vote showed to be wet. The inability of anti-prohibi- tion adherents to translate the al- leged wet sentiment into concrete ac- tion at the polls may prove anything or nothing, but it remains as the out-/ standing argument against the ef- ficacy of the straw vote in getting anywhere with the prohibition question. Corn and Autos One of the most interesting bits of statistics presented recently comes from Robley Winfrey of the Iowa State College Engineering Experi- ment Station, who has discovered that Iowa's annual automobile bill exceeds its annual income from the famous Iowa corn crop. Thus, in 1930, the people of Iowa spent more than $290,000,000 on their autos. The average income derived from Iowa corn comes to about $255,- 000,000. Just what may be the signiffeance of all this—if, indeed, it has any sig- nificance—is not quite clear. But it is, as we say, interesting, It illus- trates in a graphic way the thorough- ness with which a great agricultural state has become motorized, Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors.

Need Sense of Humor (fargo Forum) What the Capitol removalists really need, more than anything else, is a {sense of humor. | | We don't understand that the ques- tion of removing the State Capitol, on which our people are going to be compelled to vote in the March 15 qi ‘. i Presidential Preference primary, is} one that should be, or is going to be, | settled on the basis of personalities. Yet, perusal of certain removalist | Propaganda indicates that to be the {conception held in some restricted quarters. The removal program is bringing down upon Jamestown just about the results that were predicted for the city by this newspaper many months ago. It was stated then that pros¢- cution of the removal campaign in the face of an overwhelming public sentiment would react to the detri- ment of Jamestown; that it would re- sult in the creation of bitterness with- in the community that would persist years after the causes had.been for- gotten. Thanks to the readiness of a large group of the leading business and pro- fessjonal men of Jamestown to take whatever grief might be visited upon them, by joining up in a declaration to the people of North Dakota in re- pudiation of the removal program, the community, it is to be sincerely hoped, will escape the reaction that! otherwise would have existed against the city as a whole.

But when at 4:30, only 20 minutes late, he appeared leaping up the stairs she saw that she had been wrong. “I'm a mountain goat,” he’ shouted when he caught sight of her in the doorway. “I’m good for 10 flights yet.” Ellen laughed. “You're pant- ing just the same,” she jeered. “Did you by any chance see Mrs, Clancy as you were coming up?

Ellen did not speak. That would have been too embar- rassing for the kindly neighbor who was pretending she was in- visible. Then they reached the street where a collection of grimy urchins, their Sunday clothes al- ready hopelessly soiled, scrambled over a shining blue roadster. “What a marvelous car,” Ellen, breathed. “What you can see of it isn’t so bad, At the moment it looks something like a human ant hill,” he remarked, adding carelessly, “Doesn't belong to me. I wish it did. But I've the use of it till seven.” Larry dug into his pockets for change and came out with a hand- ful of nickels and dimes. For all the world like a pitcher prepar- ing to hurl a fast one, he swung his arm, whispering to Ellen to watch. Coins sprang from his hand and clattered to the street in all directions, some of them rolling half a block away. At once the roadster was abandoned by the shouting, shrieking young- sters who pounced after the elu- sive coins, Several fist fights had begun by the time Ellen and Larry, laughing helplessly, epped into the empty car and drove off. “You'll: never be rich if you throw away money like that,” the girl sald after a while. “Ho!.
