(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Foreign : SMALL, SPENCER, LEVINGS ' & BREWER (ncorporated) (CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON The Trial By Fire North Dakota, and particularly Bis- 'marck, have undergone a trial as by fire during the last year and the pains of our tribulations still are with us. But, unwelcome as these have been, they may prove a good thing for us in the end. Leading the list, of course, is the Bituation in the state's drouth area. ‘When the hand of calamity smote ruthlessly and with might, stripping many families of their means of sub- sistence, the entire state rose in de- fense. From everywhere in North Dakota and in every conceivable manner there came support for the fight against misery and even stark starvation. ‘That fight has not yet been com- Pletely won, but victory is almost within our grasp. When it is won every North Dakotan who helped, regardless of race, creed or political affiliation, will be entitled to share in the credit. This battle has offered one of the finest evidences of state ‘and community unity which this sec- tion has ever seen. It should be cul- tivated and expanded. Great good an come to North Dakota if its peo- ple are united by a feeling of neigh- borliness and of friendly justice. ‘Two other events are of particular importance to Bismarck. They are the fight to keep Fort Lincoln in ac- tive use and the battle to keep the capital here. ‘The first of these has been won, and united effort by various forces within our state must be given the credit. From all sections of the state came support for the effort and North Da- kota also had the unusual sight of elected officials of different affilia- tion working side by side for the com- mon good. The work of Nonpartisans in the national house and senate was supported and bolstered by that of an 1. V. A. governor. They did not sacri- fice any political principles or per- quisites by so doing, but time was ‘when such cooperation would have been well nigh impossible to obtain. The last hurdle in the race, and one which should cement the feeling of solidity among the people of the state, is represented by the capital re- moval issue. This fight has not yet been won but it wll be won if the facts are presented to the people in the proper manner. Expressions of individuals, clubs and newspapers in- dicate that here, again, there is no division where the interests of the state are concerned. | Attempts by the removalists to stir up political friction on the matter have gone for naught. The thinking people of the state have not been mis- { led by mis-statement and misrepre- sentation. They have kept their own interests in mind. They may be ex- pected to express a united view on March 15. The trials of the last year have awakened North Dakota's citizenry. ‘They are deciding questions on their merits and not upon the bases of partisanship and prejudice. This is ® good sign for the future. It indi- cates that selfishness, greed, mis- statement and mis-representation will not get far, no matter who is ~ responsible for them. It augurs for & government responsive to the will of the people, regardless of the po- litical stamp which it may bear. Welcome to Nonpartisans Bis today is glad to welcome * (its hospitality the members of the innate right of every American to his own views on any kind of matter and feel for him the affection which arises from common problems, common aims and common interests. ‘The welcome which the people of Bismarck extend to their present vis- itors is best illustrated, perhaps, by the action of the Association of Com- merce, a strictly non-political organ- ization, in cooperating to furnish a convention hall. This action does not pledge the support of the asso- ciation or any of its members to the group which meets here. Instead, it signifies a friendly interest for their comfort, convenience and personal well-being while in our midst. It would do the same for most other groups of similar importance, just as is has done in the past. The people of Bismarck, of diverse Political and commercial interests, take pride in giving this city a repu- tation for honest friendliness. That friendliness extends to persong of one Political group as well as to another. It is not partisan. Neither is it based on selfishness. Rather it finds root {in the well-accepted fact that one can love his neighbor without trying to run his affairs or to guide his foot- steps. There Are Many Reasons In its efforts to see that every child born in North Dakota ’is properly reg- istered with the state, the state de- partment of health has advanced many reasons for so doing. Recently, in one of its bulletins, it commented on a situation which may seem trivial to many persons but which can assume real importance under certain circumstances. The Condition mentioned is that of high school students participating in ath- jletic contests and whose eligibility under the age limit is questioned. Last fali we had the spectacle of the school with the state high school championship football team being barred from participation for the basketball title because one of its star players was over age. The re- sult was to dim the glory of its foot- ball championship, even though there is every reason to believe the violation of the rules was uninten- tional. In many cases, as the department points out, students have won vic- tories only to have their laurels taken. away from them when they were found to be over age. To adults, hardened by the buffet- ings of the world, it may seem a small item that a boy is barred from taking part in a high school sport or from receiving credit for honors won, Nev- ertheless, if we have long memories, we can recall that few tragedies of our lifetime were more poignant than those of our childhood and youth.

Twilight for the Party Truce } (Minneapolis Tribune) The fact that all signs point toward a bitter party war in congress before March is very far advanced should not prove particularly disturbing to the nation. A continuance of the amazing truce which has been in ef- fect ever since the session started is greatly to be desired, of course, but lif the practical considerations of pol- itics now demand a parting of the | ways, it is at least gratifying to know that congress has had the good sense to delay hostilities until most of its |major business was behind it. The new revenue act, to be sure, has yet to be passed, but since party lead- ers have agreed to co-operate here, there is virtually no danger that tax- es will be made the target of those Political sharpshooters who are al- ready oiling up their muskets in prep- aration for the great offensive. The truth is that congress, no mat- ter how much it brawls and blusters from now on, is not apt to take any action which is at all unsettling to business, or to omit any action which is indispensable to the nationjs eco- nomic recovery. Both the houSe and senate, through their vote on the La- Follette-Costigan bill, have already put themselves on record in no un- certain terms as opposed to direct federal relief, and there is only a re- mote chance that the attitude of con- gress toward so radical a departure from precedent will be reversed. The issue, it is hardly to be doubted, will be revived in some other form, if only {for the purpose of rhetorical treat- ment, but the lines have already been drawn and they appear unalterable. ; The point which we wish to make is that congress has already demon- strated its fundamental conservatism, and that it has already dealt con- structively with the chief problems of reconstruction, so that there is eve: reason to suspect that its interparty growling, from now on, will be in- finitely more terrifying than its bite. If this is the case, there is no great likelihood that any really bad legis- lation will be passed, or that any really vital legislation will be over- looked in the impending party feud. The naval construction bill may be expected to touch off some showy Pyrotechnics in both houses, and the whole question of departmental or- genization and federal economy seems loaded with political dynamite. A row is in prosp2ct over the Norris anti-injunction bill, and another is destined to develop over the unem- ployment aid highway construction bill, but‘in the end copgress will prob- ably do nothing more serious than talk itself into a state of utter ex- haustion, a possibility which should at least cause the nation no serious moments of uneasiness. Mr. Hoover's plea for the enactment of more non- hey ght dy having to do with months of conscientious work behind, and with a presidential campaign ahead, no one can possibly begrudge that body a little time for the sort of rest and relaxation that goes with the| heaving party brickbats.

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XVII ‘THE Rossiter ice-box was stuffed almost to the bursting point. Certainly Molly had stinted on nothing. There was pate, there was lobster, there were two plump, yel- low ducks—and duck at $1.75 a pound. There were artichokes and avacados. There were all the things that should never have been included in a simple home dinner. But Ellen squared her jaw and flew about the heated kitchen, growing hotter and crosser each minute, Perched at the kitchen table daintily shelling peas, Molly looked cool and comfortable and madden- ingly satisfied with herself. From time to time she w uld hum a little tune. Then, glimpsing her daugh- ter’s black face, she would halt and virtuously continue shelling the peas, Molly was convinced evéry- thing would work out for the best. , Except for decorative purposes the colored maid was entirely. use- _ less, She did set the table with a great flourish. She considered that with serving and washing the dishes she would have more than earned her $5 and said so. When Ellen, ignoring this disinclination +toward real labor, suggested that she baste the ducks, the maid looked aggrieved and “allowed” she did only plain cooking. “This is plain enough,” said Ellen in exasperation. “You'll simply havo to do it while my mother and I dress. Just open the oven every 10 minutes and ladle the drippings up with a spoon.” “All right, Miss, I'll do it. But. you can’t blame me if them ducks don’t taste jest right.” “We won't,” snapped Ellen. She grew cooler and more com- fortable in the bedroom as she flung aside her business dress, went into the bathroom and cautiously bathed with due consideration for the fact that splashing water was audible in the living room, She returned to the bedroom and slipped into a clean, fresh, blue linen frock. She brushed her curling hair, powdered her flushed face and found the string of amber beads that went so well with her skin, She looked all right. The sleeveless dress, cheap as it was, was very kind to her’ slender youth. i “Ellen, honey,” said her mother, entering, “will you fix my snaps, or are you still mad at me?” Ellen’s heart failed her. What was the use of anger, of threats, of reproaches? After a solemn talk, which took place as Ellen's fingers busied themselves with the snaps, Molly promised, as she had prom- ised so often before, that there would be no more surprises. But she looked unusually sobered. By telling her of the gossip at the store Ellen had succeeded in frightening the harum-scarum, little Irish wo- man, ¥ “They're just jealous,” she de- clared. “If I were you I'd just tell that Mrs, Bondy that he was here for. dinner tonight. ,That’d stop their mouths, I’ve half a notion to go down there and tell—” “The best thing I can do,” Ellen interrupted warningly, “is what 1 am doing—say nothing.” “Well—maybe you're right, but I'd like to give two or three of those girls a good shaking just the same!” eee (TOGETHER they went into the living room. Bert was engaged in a long and technical discussion of the comparative merits of the Yankees and the Giants. If Barclay were bored, his courteous, interest- ed air concealed the fact. He stood up quickly as Ellen and Molly ap- peared, “Well, dinner is almost ready: - at last,” Molly announced. “I hope’ you're not all starved. Where in the world do you suppose Mike is?” “I'll go find him,” offered Myra. The room was breathlessly hot and every one was politely dissem- bling interest in the sharp, delicious odor of roasting duck. “You haven't met the pride of the family,” Ellen remarked smilingly to Barclay. “Oh yes I have. I met him in the hall,” Barclay affirmed, Ellen did not know what made her think that he looked guilty ‘a & small-boy way, but she did think that. Could Mike have said some- thing to him? Myra had started for the door when Ellen suddenly determined to learn what had oc- curred in the hall, She spoke hur- riedly and definitely, “You go wash up, gather Mike in.” Sho was out the door and running down the stairs, When she reached. the street she saw that practically all the youngtsers in the neighbor- hood—and they were many—had gathered before the apartment door, almost blocking it. A few stared with wistful longing at the sleek, black limousine from which the alertly rigid chauffeur barred them. But the mbjority, screaming and vociferous, were peering up the lamp-lighted street, “Have any of you seen Mike Ros- siter?” she inquired, wondering dust what new game they were play- ng. “Sure,” half a dozen voices chorused shrilly. She picked out from the resultant contusion the in- formation that Mike was giving Peter Rafferty a ride on his new bicycle, Just then she saw Mike. He was strutting along proudly beside a shining wheel, calling out caution and advice to the tow-headed young: ster who was pedaling. Ellen knew at once why Barclay had looked 80 guilty. This was impossible! “Mike Rossiter, come here this minute!” she called, v. Myra. I'll ‘ y= youngsters made way for’ him. Peter Rafferty slid from the seat and scuttled down the street like a small, active crab, Mike, unconscious of the calamity about to fall, carefully wheeled his new possession over the curb and up on the sidewalk, Ellen had never seen such glory as was on his transfigured face, “Mr. Barclay gave it to me,” he explained in a hushed voice, caress- ing with his grubby hand the shin- ing mud-guards, 4 “But, darling, we can’t Igt_ you keep it,” Ellen said faintly. The blow struck. Mike's face turned red; his blue eyes looked surprised, bewildéred, confused, hurt and angry, in rapid succession. For a moment he gazed at her in appalled silence; then burst into loud and frantic wails. So over- whelming was his grief and that Ellen was afraid it would re- sult in his usual upset stomach, She gathered in his shaking body, conscious that the entire juven! Bepnlaton of the block was watch- Ing. ‘I can’t do anything,” Mike sobbed. “I can't have anything. I Promised all the other boys a ride. Mother'd let me have it. I'll be so good Ellen; I'll do everything you tell me.” “But Mike—” “My bike, my bike!” Ellen knew she was weak and that she should be firm; she knew that once she let Mike get the upper hand her discipline would be gone. But she could not stand out against this overwhelming grief. She re lented, When Ellen and Mike, the latter's face pale and tear-stained, got the bicycle up the stairs and into the living room, the girl saw that the news had preceded them. As they made their awkward entrance, she and Myra exchanged an expressive glance, Myra, too, was troubled by, Barclay’s munificence. But Molly, her small jaw set in stubborn lines, carefully .voided Ellen's eye, That Was not surprising, Ellen had ex- pected no help from that quarter. There was an embarrassing si- lence. Mike, childishly conscious that something was wrong, conscious that he had somehow failed his sister and by no means certain of his ultimate victory, deserted Ellen to rush to his mother. Molly stroked his hot little head buried in her lap and bent to whisper words of comfort, Bert, twiddling with the radio dials, considered the whole affair unworthy of a man’s attention. He could never understand what he termed those “Rossiter” moods of Myra and her sister. The most uncomfortable person in the room was the real culprit, Steven had hoped Ellen would speak but when she did not he said anxiously: “Have I been thought- less?” Ellen, without comment, wheeled the bicycle into the crowded closet in the corner and shut the door with a rather sharp bang, She did not know what to say. How could she tell Barclay that it Was one thing to present a toy to the child of a millionaire and quite another to present that same toy to the child whose parents could not ford to give it to him? “How could e tell him of the fierce and neces: z ore A the poor? “You've been extremely tho ful,” Molly was saying, with nie glance at Myra. “Not one Mike's been 5 @ bicycle.” haatla lah a’ Mike shyly raised his head, 2 a rage hati ppb he de- eagerly, “Ei Tilbe good “Bilen said go it that moment the mala ma: blessed interruption, an ‘eee tion which Ellen felt to be almost worth the $5 she was to recety nounce dinner was ready, (To Be Continued) in a thousand would kno’ oe fage|actly what a boy of 10 wanted, She clumped into the room to an-- gps @ | 4% ” n ’ r
