GOVERNORS RECEPTION
FIRST OFFICIAL FUNCTION At
THE EXECUTIVE MANSION n
UNDER
GOVERNOR AND MRS. BURKE
WAS EXTREMELY BRIL-

\ Governor and Mrs. Burke gave
their first public reception at the ex-
ecutive mansion last evening and a
large number of guests called in the
course of the evening. Mr.. and Mrs.
Burke received in the spacious par
lors, which were filed during the
evening with the persons who called
to pay their respects. Mrs. Burke
wore a black reception gown with
trimmings of white. Some other
very handsome gowns were in evil
dence and the affair was withal digni-
fed and brilliant. Master Tom Burke
attended the door The Misses
Evelyn Williams, Alice Williams,
Ethel Barnes and Myrtle Brown
served refreshments. Mrs Judge
Burke and Mrs. Clark w. Kelley
served punch and Mrs. Foley poured
coffee.
| In the course of the evening Mrs.
Judge Burke Of Baker City, rendered
two instrumental selections which
added much to the pleasure of the
guests. She is finished and gifted
pianist and her playing is ever a
source of genuine enjoyment.
The table decorations in the dining
room were of red carnations. Fes.
toons of crimson ribbon were swung
from the chandelier to the corners of
the table and ended in large bows.
/ The reception lasted from a little
after eight o'clock until nearly eleven
and about $50 called during the recep
ton hours.

SENSATIONAL REPORTS OF SUE
FERING.

It is serious question whether the
frequent and sensational reports re-
garding suffering, restitution and
probable death from shortage of fuel
at some towns in the state, are not
doing more harm than good. This
is an unusually severe winter, so far
as depth of snow and frequency of
snowfall is concerned, and the rail-
roads, particularly the branch lines,
are immensely handicapped in their
efforts to maintain regular train
service. Fuel dealers, too, it is more
than likely, have failed to grasp the
situation when laying in their sup
plies and have been caught with a
shortage Of fuel, SO that few days of
interrupted communication has lower
ed their supply to the danger point.
Just how serious the situation is at
some Of the interior towns that are a
long way from a coal depot it is not
the easiest thing to judge, even from
the dispatches that have been for
wardeds to various centers of author
ity.t 1t may be that in some cases
fear of suffering from shortage of
GOAL has led to particularly strong
kilograms to bring relief before any
real suffering has been experienced.
The railroad companies seem to be
doing all in their power to relieve the
blockades, and orders have been
given to relieve need wherever it ex-
lists with the fuel supplies of the
company While there should be the
most strenuous effort to prevent
actual suffering from a shortage of
fuel, it is to be hoped that no purely
sensational reports are being dis
patched broadcast, or that any I'M
necessary color is being lent to dis
patches asking relief 1t has become
the custom now to apply at Washing
ton for everything that is needed, and
for this reason dispatches from many
towns have been sent to the inter-
state commerce commission, picturing
desolate and melancholy conditions
owing to the blockades Senators and
representatives are naturally anxious
to leave nothing undone to serve their
people, and as result Of it all the
state is getting a kind of advertising
not altogether beneficitl. While not
in favor of withholding anything that
may result in serving people in the
towns that are blockaded, the Tribune
believes it is the part of wisdom to
be as little sensational as possible.
Distances in North Dakota are great.
the country is in a great measure new.
coal supplies come from long dis
lance, and added to the depth of snow
and the interruption of traffic, there
is congestion of traffic from the inn
mense crop of last year. We hope
the blockade will be broken without
any actual suffering in any of the
towns of the state and we feel sure
that all possible efforts are being
made by everyone concerned to re-
lieve the situation.

GOVERNMENT BY Com.
MISSION is POPULAR
HERE is A PROPOSITION WHICH
WOULD PROVE AN EXCELLENT
THING FOR BISMARCK

. II ne FEBRUARY .6FOdUWdy ludSdZlue
has the following to say on a new
plan which has come to be looked up
on as the ideal government for cities.
The idea is recommended to the peo-
pie of Bismarck for earnest CON
sideration. The Broadway says:
The commission plan of city gov
eminent does not abridge or cur
tail any of the rights of the public,
neither does it tend to kill off the
great political parties, deemed
essential to maintain balance of
power for good government What
the commission plan accomplishes
is to eliminate the boss, by increas-
ing the power and choice of the
individual voters. Ward and dis
trict lines are abolished, and COM
missioners are elected at large, by
direct vote of the electors. Thus
the ward heller and district leader
are left with no opportunity to
influence results, and no power for
graft.
The commission is all-powerful,
and appoints most of the city Of
ficials and employees, and spends
I practically all of the money. Hence
the practical politician finds it
waste of time to bother with minor
offices and jobs. If he cannot con
troll the commission his vocation is
gone. By having only four men on
a commission, and appealing to the
public to nominate candidates of
high character and ability, good
citizens (who ordinarily are apath-
etic because Of the hopeless condi-
ton of city affairs) become aroused
to work and vote for an efficient and
trustworthy government.
Representative men, who would
not consider standing for an alder
manic position, feel complimented al
being named for commission that
is to be both honest and honored,
and will make pecuniary and bust
ness sacrifices to accept such places.
Men of this stamp secure the active
support Of the business element,
which ordinarily keeps out Of
politics. The cities that have tried
government by commission have
never had a dishonest set of com
! missioners
Experience with commission gov
eminent is not confined to the
three cities named, Galveston, Nash
vile and Norfolk Houston has also
fallen into line Des Moines has
sent a committee to Galveston and
Houston to look into and report
upon this system of city govern
ment San Antonio and Fort Worth
are both agitating for the adoption
of commission government, and In
side OF ten years every city in
Texas is likely to be provided with
this form Of civic administration.

OBLIGATIONS OF THE CITIZEN
AND THE OFFICIAL


Journal is but fair sample OF the
comments of the press OF this state on
Bismarck's house-cleaning:
The power of the press for doing
good has been well illustrated In
the case of the Bismarck Tribune, :,
which has been the direct cause OF
inaugurating much needed reform
at the Capital City. The Tribune
has made a relentless war upon the
blind pig and gambling nuisance,
and it is gratifying to know that its
efforts have proven successful. The
stigma that has attached to the
Capital City has been removed, and
the business men declare that it
will stay removed. The Journal
congratuIates the Tribune, the peo-
pie of Bismarck, and the people of
the state.
The Tribune has done its share.
1t will continue to stand behind the
mayor and other officers who have
the nerve to obey the law and their
oaths of Office. While the Tribune
does not expect the lid to be kept
down absolutely, especially with SO
many strangers in the city-so many
temptations to violate the prohibition
laval will admit that the present
conditions in Bismarck are better
than they have ever been before dur
ing session of the legislature The
Capital City wants good name ~
needs good namea and if her citi-
zens stand by the action taken the
night before New Years she will re
tain good name
While it is a fact that public senti-
ment in the western part of the state
is opposed to the prohibition law and
there is no doubt in the minds of
reasonable and observing temperance
people, that the liquor evil could be
far better regulated under some other
system than constitutional prohibition,
still the Tribune believes that resub-
mission cannot be obtained unless it
is demonstrated to the ultra prohibit
ton element in the eastern part of
the state that an honest attempt at
the enforcement of the law has been
made in tile western counties.
In the past Bismarck has held out
q sort of defy to the state. Some of
her city officials have openly Haunted
their utter disregard of the law
They have not only openly violated
the law themselves but have boosted
of how they run things to suit them
selves in Bismarck They have
advertised us as outlaws in the past
some are doing it yet, and declare
they will continue to openly defy the
law. H.:
A hit bird futters, and so it is that
when the Tribune advocates law and
order, advocates a decent regard for
public sentiment, opposes the ar
rangements made by horde of tin
horn gamblers to fleece legislators
and others. its editor is singled out as
a target.
e II is not a question of individuals.

other forms of lawlassness the news

pride, that is blind to evils that

The Tribune doesn't care to be
