Next to To Intoxication is from on
dous-Inebr1ety Made Unfamiliar.
Drunkenness in London is said to be
on the increase-especially among women.
The second installment of Bashkirtseff
memoirs is summed up by more than one
critic as the work not of an inebriate her.
self, perhaps, but as the natural hysteria
of scion of race of inebriates. Ltera-
ture and ethics join hands in declaring
that the future welfare Of art no less
than humanity depends largely upon less
liquor being introduced into the individ-
ual. In face of all this it is interesting to
read that Maine ls considering the repeal
of her far-famed Prohibition law. Well,
however impotent, and insincere this law
may be IT has worked wonders in the sim
pie matter of making inebriety unfamiliar
to- that State Men, may object to not
being able to procure glass of wine at
dinner on steamship off the coast of
Maine; women may declare that the eff
feet of law which may be evaded by pay
ing fine instead is, morally, just as bad
as drunkenness. But the influence of
next to no saloons and, virtually, no in
toxication, is not to be gainsaid. Upon
a rising generation the effect of such a
state of things must be tremendous. To
put liquor out of reach is one thing; to
throw the high light of the unusual upon
the effects of liquor is better than the
lawful example" that any temperance lec-
turer ever felt obliged to keep tipsy.
"Why, a drunken mans a curiosity here"
said Maine native. II dunno when I've
seen one round, not since the last cir
Gus, guess, an that was a good many
years ago. You oughter have seen the
folks stare at him. The boys and girls
whose memories couldn't go as far back
az the last drunken man couldn't take
their eyes off'n him. They JUS follered
him round 'sif he was one O. the sights.
So he was. Everybody was a-sayin' to
everybody else, Did you see the drunken
man" an Look at the drunken man. an
Come quick and have look at the
drunken man.. He was curiosity, great

tention has been given to the binding.
The book contains 200 pages more
than the code of 1895 and the very
best grade of paper has been used.
While many of the plates Of the '95
edition have been used the amend
ments made by the last two legisla-

state the resetting Of over half the
book. In the revision the numbers
of the original sections have been re-
tanned where possible and where it
has been necessary to compile new
laws Immediately following a section
in the '95 code letters have been used
as for instance, 19Oa, 1SOb, etc. All
orders for codes will be filled before

the Bismarck Tribune company-the
price being the same-$5 a volume.

THE INDIAN FAMINE.

The Tribune has a copy Of the Bonn
hey, India, Guardian, sent from those
in charge Of the relief work at that
place for the immense numbers of peo-
PIE stricken with famine. It is diff
cult to imagine, here in plentifully
supplied America, that there is a re-
,gion where absolute famine prevails
over a territory vast in extent and
affecting a population equal to half
the total population of the United
States. From the report of the Hon.
MI. IDbetson, who has been compiling
statistics of the famine area, the
Guardian has the following:
There is no previous record of so
extensive a total failure Of crops in the
central provinces. The chief COM
missioner reports that a failure so Sc
we're and widespread has never been
experienced before. The rice crop,
which is the mainstay of the eastern
portion of those provinces, is more
completely lost than in 1896. Millets

BISMARCK WEEKLY TRIBUNE: FRIDAY, MARCH %. 1900.

sissippi commercial congress which
meets there April 1921. There are
special reports from the several states
interested and under the head of
North Dakota there is the following:
Since the last meeting of the con.
gress Governor Frank A. Briggs of
Bismarck, who was made vice presi-
dent for his state, has Joined the silent
majority. Governor Fancher has APP
pointed his widow, Mrs. Nanny Briggs,
to fill the vacancy. Mrs. Briggs has
the especial honor of being the only
lady officer of the congress and expects
to be present 'at the coming meeting.
She can depend upon a cordial recep-
ton, as can all the wives, mothers,
sisters and sweethearts who accom-
pany the delegates on a visit to one of
the most progressive cities in the en-
tire south and at a season of the year
when a visit from the north to the
south is especially delightful.
Hon. N. G. Larimore, whose post
office is at a city which bears his
name, has been for some time making
headquarters at the Waldorf-Astoria,
New York. Before the publication of
this paper reaches him he will have
returned home to take up the work of
securing a delegation in connection
with his associate, Mr.. Alfred White of
Medora.

Just as the arguments against Mayor
Johnson of Fargo were coming thick
and fast the mayor ome out with an
interview showing how he, with some
other citizens of Fargo, has incor-
porated a new railroad to run from the
north state line to Duluth, and will
build it as soon as he gets around to it..
Then there is that appropriation of
$SOO,OOO' for the drainage of the Red
river valley that the mayor will get
from congress as soon as he gets this
little matter of CITY election off his
hands. If the people of Fargo are
not satisfied with what Mayor Johnsin
has gotten for them, let them look at
what he intends to. get in the future
as above stated-to say nothing of tie
big cannon that is coming from San
Francisco.

quent occurrence in the early days, are
men of some means and wide exper-
fence and who have disposed of their
farms in some of the older states and
determined to start anew where a
farmer has an opportunity to branch
out If he feels so inclined, and where
natural conditions are more conduc-
i've to success than in the states where
he struggled with a rock pile or had to
pay S. per acre cash rental. The i'm
migration agents have never before
been as discriminating as to whom
they offer inducements to, believing
that all concerned, the railroads as
we'll as the business men of the state,
would profit in the end by inducing
none but farmers of experience and
with ONE means to settle in North
Dakota.

The danger of working a good thing
too strongly is proven in the forth
coming investigation of the reservoir
filings by special agents of the govern
ment. The fact that 900 Of them were
made in the Bismarck land district
since the law went into effect led the
government to believe that there would
be a good many reservoirs on the
prairies of North Dakota, if the law
were lived up to. It is probable that
a good many of these entries were
made for purposes of speculation,
others to add to stock ranges and
others by recent arrivals from the old
country, who wanted to keep land in
this manner until friends or relatives
could come owe and file homesteads,
At any rate, it is probable that few OF
those who made reservoir filings in
tended to live up to the law, and as a
result !: is probable that many of the
entries will be Cancelled.

The Anamoose Progress discovers that
"the Bismarck Tribune prints each
week Some Prairie Breezes' some of
which are very good" and then makes the
enquiry for "brother Jewell to explain
whether he composes all these poems
himself, and how he finds time to do this
work and edit his paper" This gives us
the opportunity to state that "Prairie
Breezes" are from the pen of MI. James
jr., who has been with the Bis
marck Tribune for several years. MIR.
Foley is a graduate from the Bis
marck high school and his work on
the Bismarck Tribune is being favorably
received by the leading papers of the
country. In justice to Mr. Foley and in
recognition of his genius the press of the
country, in quoting these productions,
ought to give Joint credit-as for instance
james Foley, jr., in Bismarck Tribune"
The latter part is not necessary except
in the n that a newspaper having the
sagacity to have on its staff bright people
is entitled to a little credit-thus the
suggestion.

by the jamestown Alert as not with
out political significance, and it is
stated he was in consultation with po-
lltlcal leaders there in the furtherance
OF his gubernatorial ambitions. It is
also intimated in Jamestown CORE
