Let the Facts Decide Whatever else may be said of it, North Dakota’s situation as it pertains to the open hunting season is in rather a sorry mess. Upon the question of whether or not upland game birds are plentiful there is no agreement. Some sportsmen’s groups claim the number of birds has been seriously depleted and want no shooting at all, or as little as possibe. The state game and fish department contends that there are enough birds to justify an open season and there the matter stands. The public, as is usual with the innocent bystander, doesn’t know who or what to believe. Meanwhile, many farmers are posting their land, as they have aright todo. The movement is spreading and the prospect is that the man with a license will have some trouble in finding a place to try his skill, granting that the birds are there if and when he gains admission to the farmer’s property. The plight of the state game and fish department is obvi- ous. If it is to remain in operation it must have the revenue which comes from hunters’ licenses. A closed or greatly cur- tailed season would reduce this revenue to nothing. The result would be painful to the game and fish commissioner. Certain conservationists say that the prospect of an open season is just as painful to them. And so the score is evened again. If there were any wholly accurrate and impartial way of getting at the truth so that a decision could be based on the facts, the issue would not be so perplexing. But there isn’t. And that is the trouble. Meanwhile it appears certain that the game and fish de- partment will find its revenues greatly curtailed. After all the hullabaoo which has been raised by both sides the number of licenses sold is likely to be greatly diminished. Some hunters will take the stand that with game so limited hunting becomes bad public policy and hence will refrain as a matter of good citizenship. Others will reach the conclusion that game probably is not as plentiful as in some years past and with so much land posted % will be difficult, if not impossible, to get any shooting. In sither, case the result will be the same. _ The truth probaby lies somewhere between the claim that’ there are practically no birds left and the contention that there ‘are enough to justify an open season. In such matters it is rare that one side is wholly right and the other wholly wrong. . Meanwhile it is interesting to note the history of the case as revealed by the game and fish commissioner last Saturday. This began with an all-day conference here on Aug. 80 at the end of which the directors of the North Dakota Wild Life association expressed the belief that the game and fish com- missioner “is in a position to determine dates, bag limits, open and closed seasons upon upland game and deer.” The state- ment was signed by S. R. Livergood, Wilton; Harry G. Schie- fer, Kenmare; Myles Bonzheimer, Rogers; Fred S. Durey, Mott, and Adrian C. Fox, Park River. Subsequently Howard L. Stone, president of the association, wrote the commissioner “I think the upland game and migra- tory seasons are fine. Also the bag limits. The seasons are short and will help protect the game and I believe the sports- men will buy a license for the 10 days upland game shooting. They should anyway.” On this basis the storm of the last few weeks must have ‘come as a painful surprise to Commissioner Hulsterstrom, and if sins have been committed he is as much sinned against as sinning. There is still time to adjust this situation—if it can be adjusted at all. But the only sound basis upon which it can be done is upon the basis of the facts, Dr. Yeager’s Resignation When seven men recently were removed from the faculty ‘of the North Dakota Agricultural college there was consterna- tion in some quarters and satisfaction in others. During their service the men had made enemies as well as friends. Most persons, occupied with affairs closer to home, with- held judgment. They were willing to wait and see how things * turn out. There was nothing they could do about it at the * moment anyhow. Recent resignations at the college, however, particularly that of Prof. A. F. Yeager, at least constitute an unfortunate result. Upon that there will be little if any disagreement, for Dr. Yeager has been one of. North Dakota’s outstanding men. He has shed a peculiar lustre upon this state, giving definite answer to those who, directly or by inference, look upon us as a backward people. : It is safe to say that Dr. Yeager earned greater acclaim outside the state than has come to any of our political leaders and that fact should not be ignored in-estimating his worth. In a very direct way he stood for achievement and economic and cultural advancement. The bulk of the people have not yet made their decision about the shake-up at the AC but the fact that it has resulted in the voluntary withdrawal of some of the best men there is distinctly a count against it. : _Pity for Convicts ; America has had a lot of prison disturbances in recent years. On investigation, a dismaying number of them proved to be society's fault. The prison was out of date, overcrowded, filthy; the management was lax, the guards were venal, the politicians had interfered too much. And so on. ‘The newest outbreak, at Alcatraz, seems to stand in a class |: by itself. None of the above-mentioned defects applies there. Indeed, the trouble seems chiefly due to the fact that Alcatraz the toughest and most vicious thugs in America who don’t like the way society has put them down for the count. Alcatraz is a hard-boiled place; it has to be. In this one prison, if in no other, an outbreak by the convicts will bring ‘them less public sympathy, not more. ¥ 4 —— The Bismarck Tribune by Company, Bis- postoffice at Bismarck as second class mai) Behind Scenes Washington Session of Statement on Political Aims. By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, affecting labor, based on the judg- information and belief, are: The minimum wage -maximum hour bill will slide thorugh the next session of congress and become law iu much the same form as that in which it passed the senate. The A. F. of L, will refrain from expelling the C.1.0. unions at its Denver convention. John L, Lewis will make his next political pronunciamento, probably in the form of a challenge to the ad- ministration, at the convention of his own United Mine Workers here in January. * * * Renew Wage-Hour Battle Rumors that the administration is preparing a new wage-hour bill fail of confirmation after diligent search for anybody who might be working on one. Roosevelt is expected to fight hard for the senate product, held up last session by recalcitrant Demo- cratic members of the house rules committee. The AF. of L. probably will en- dorse wage-hour legislation, despite opposition in its ranks, because re- fusal to do so would be capitaliz.d by C.LO., which is sure to give such an endorsement at its October meeting. Opposition forces are extremely busy behind the scenes, working against the measure. But their best line of strategy to date seems to be the hope cf getting farm legislation shoved ahead of wage-hour action, whereas the latter is almost certain of any early showdorn in the house. * * * ‘Will Not Oust CIO Unions A. F. of L. leaders would kick out John Lewis and his pals, who with their unions are now only under sus- pension, if they thought it would do the latter more harm than good. . To toss out the rebels would merely play into their: hands, since it would mean an outright invitation to the Lewis group to go and start an ac- tual, formal national labor federa- tion of its own. CIO leaders have shown every indication of willingness to be expelled. But the A, F. of L. doesn’t seem to want to take the onus of a definite all-time break. And, of course, there are many on both sides who desire peace. Lewis himself wants a reunited labor move- ment—reunited, that is, by a process in which his organization would gob- ble up Bill Green’s. ex * & Lewis for Radical Program The Roosevelt-Lewis cleavage isn’t expected to make headlines at the IO gathering. Lewis and certain ther CIO leaders dont’ see eye to eye on Roosevelt. But at the head of his United Mine Workers, where Lewis will be in 100 per cent command, it’s a good bet that he will make an important po- litical move. Some of his .friends anticipate that he will lay down a political program and demand thai the administration—or, failing that, a new party—adopt it. Such a program would be more radical and definite than anything the New Deal hasn't achieved its promised objectives and that its “prosperity” is too shaky for labor’s safety.

We may or may not agree with them A COURSE IN CHORES (Minneapolis Tribune) Claiming that modern children are being raised with no sense of respon- sibility, Dr. T. W. MacQuarrie, presi- dent of San Jose State college in Cali- fornia, advocates a course in chores as part of the regular high school training. Young people of today ac- cept their education and livelihood as their just due with no thought of giving anything in return and thus nourish a lifetime idea of being taken care of with no effort on their part, Dr. MacQuarrie asserts. He proposes & semester of window-washing, eround-tending and janitor work as a cure for this grave lack of commun- ity obligation. Whether such an addition to the high school curriculum could be worked out to advantage is open to argument. But certainly there is much sound logic and meaty food for thought in the San Jose educator's suggestion, It is deplorably true that many boys and girls of today are grow- ing up with the idea that the world ie their oyster and that they don't even need to exert themselves to pry open the shell in order to find pearls of free education and easy living. But what other attitude can be expected of them when no demands are made on them by parents, teachers or govern- ment? ‘We hear 8 great deal of the problems, of modern youth and much prating of @ return to the good old rod’ in order to save the child of nowadays from spoiling.

Dear Sir: < 5 I would like to state first of all that I am a firm believer in safety on the iighways, enforcement of all city traffic regulations, and the punish- ment of all violators, regardless of their political or financial standing. Now Mr. Editor, if you will permit me I would like to relate in my own poor grammar (Lord how I wish a reporter had been there) just how far @ certain traffic officer will stoop to ingratiate himself with one of the more prominent of Bismarck’s fam- . . Shortly after 5 p. m. this afternoon an accident occurred at the inter- section of Broadway and Second 8t. I did not see the accident but arrived before the police and, being of rather @ curious nature, stuck around. I do to who was at fault but the fact re- mains that one driver, a young chap jdriving an inexpensive car of not a very recent vintage, seemed to me not even pretend to have an idea as |ar! have been made very much the goat. It is true that a woman riding in the other car involved, driven by & prominent Bismarck woman, was in- jured, The car was of the more ex- pensive class and a person could see at a glance that one represented money and social position and the ether did not. Neither car was dam- aged to a very great extent. Now here is what gripped me, in fact it almost made me sick to my stomach, The esteemed traffic of- ficer scared the boy half to death, found out that his car was bought on contract, consequently carried col- lision insurance with no liability in- surance, He asked the boy how fast he was driving. “About twenty miles an hour” answered the boy. “That's @ lie” replied the officer. “No one in this town drives that slow.” That statement kind of burned me up be- cause I know of a lot of people who drive that slow in the downtown dis- trict, ‘Most of the explaining to the police ‘was done by a person who admitted Le had not seen the accident happen but had been attracted by the crash. Now for the questions asked of the ledy driving the other car. After say- ing “Yes mam” to her a couple of times he went on at great length ex- Piaining that under the present laws of our state SHE could attach that boy's car for any damages that oc- curred. I wondered at the time if the cfficer wasn’t just a little bit pre- mature there but I am not of the legal profession s0 kept my opinion to myself. I am wondering why the woman er was not subjected to the same treatment as the boy, or why was not the boy shown the same courtesy as the woman. I suppose that it is be- cause of that ancient law of nature. and to a lot of other people there to|/Some one always has to be the fall are —., 14 Melody. 15 Fervor. 16 Low tide. 17 Tense. 18 Opera scene. 19 Hence. 20 Pretense, 21 Laughter sound. 22 Electrical unit 23 Haze. 24 Falsehood, meal, 46 Dutch measure. 26 Clit Chae ing 48 Form of “be.” 28 Definite 50 Trees. 55 Type standard 3 Mature. 56 Tight. y 57 Spectral 34 Encountered. _ images. 37Sword handle. 60 Ratite bird. 39 Painful prick. 61 Apportioned 41 To contend, medicine. 42To forgive. 621t isa —— 44 Being.

The name has been deleted because the writer insisted that he is “afraid” to have his own name published lest he be the target of too much at- tention on the part of the police. of @ rookie who borrowed a Top Kicks uniform without permission one night and went to town and really some of his ex friends. In conclusion I might add that I have seen several men up on that hill at Jamestown that I would trust with the job of en- forcing the law rather than the afore- said officer. I might add further that there were two other officers on the scene who were gentlemen. If it is all the same to you folks I CAST OF CHARACTERS PRISCILLA PIERCE — heroine, young woman attorney.
