Senate Bill 222, introduced by Sen
-ator Macdonald, at the request of the
United States Bureau of Census, is a
Fmerltorious measure that ought to pass
at an early date. It is an act to provide
for registration of all births and deaths
throughout the state and to establish
bureau Of vital statistics. This measure
is urged by congress and is resolution
passed by that body. It is urged that
the registration of births and deaths at
the time of their occurrence furnishes
official record information of much val
ne TO individuals; that the registration
.of deaths, with information upon Ger
tain points, is essential to the progress
of medical and sanitary science in pre-
venting and restricting disease and in
devIsing and applying remedial agencies.
All of the principal countries of the
civilized world recognize the necessity
for such registration and enforce the
same by general laws. Registration in
the United States is now confined to a
lew states, as whole, and the larger
cities, under local laws and ordinances
which differ widely in their require
nenfs. It is most important that reg
istration should be cpnducted under
laws that will insure practical uni
forInity in the character and amount Of
information available from the records.

BRIDGE
IT DIsToRTs HOSPITALITY, IN

WEAKENS THE NERVES. *.

Night after night when the simple
little mistress of the Harlem fiat is
turning out the gas for the night, the
hostess on Fifth avenue or Riverside
is marshalling her guests for the
nightly battle of cards. Footmen are
placing little tables in the drawing
room; partners are drifting together
and the air is pregnant with subtle ex-
citement and the lure Of the game.
When bridge enters, the smart
house takes on the atmosphere of a
public gambling place; and the host

ity, loses sight of the fact that those
present are her guests. She makes no
effort to keep the poor ones from be-
ing feeced, nor does she protect the
amateur from sharpers -and sharp
ers there are in the most exclusive
drawing rooms. They may be clothed
as the lilies of the field, and their
hands show that they toll not, neither
do they spin, yet they are there. to
make a living. 1t is this astounding
distortion of the normal viewpoint
which makes bridge a revolving sight
to those who look on, so that many Of
these have been led away from the
craze by the dictates of their better
natures. Weakened nerves and de-
pleted purses are bad enough; but still
worse is the disapp earance Of that
American trait we prize SO greatly
!, the sense and practice OF true hospi-
tally. The hostess who has become
an avaricious gambler, who is often In
fact an arrant cheat, has lost all re-
gard for the welfare of her guests;
/ nor, as I have said, does she discrimi-
nate as to their means. The impe-

forced to play away beyond their

their utter desperation and consequent
ruin. its

mEMseR or THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The North Dakota magazine for
February is souvenir number that
will be of historical interest and
value and one that will be priced by
all the members of the legislature. It
contains picture and biographical
sketch of each member Of the house
and senate, of the state officers, the
supreme court and of the states dele
cation to congress. The printing and
press work are of the Tribune and
speak for themselves. The editorial
work and general scheme is the work
of Commissioner Of Agriculture Gill
breath and he is to be congratulated
upon the idea and upon his skill and
ability in carrying it out. The maya
zine has value of a historical nature
far beyond any sentimental or temper
airy association. How interesting to-
day would be such a publication of a
date twenty or thirty years ago, pre-
senting pictures and sketches of the
men who were engaged in the work Of
aawmaking. How valuable would be
such a work covering the constitu-
tional convention or the first state
legislature or even any territorial or
state legislature. How much more
interesting will be the present issue Of
the magazine fifteen or twenty years
from now, to another generation of
lawmakers. 1t would be well, from a
historical standpoint, if every state
administration and legislature were so
dealt with from historical stand
point, that we might preserve a
record, not only of the biographies Of
the men but of their 1ikenesses. Com
missioner Gilbreath has set an ex-
ample that his successors would do
well to follow. Il. 55#

There will be a meeting of the real
estate dealers Of North Dakota held
in this city Thursday, February %,

plans for the campaign Of education
and immigration for the present year.
In view of the fact that so many
erroneous, malicious and sensational
stories have been published regarding
the fuel and food famine in this state
during the present winter, some ex-
traordinary steps should be taken to
counteract the effect they may have
had on the people of other states. !.
Governor Burke will recommend
that the house and senate appoint
committees to Investigate and report
on the conditions that prevailed dur
ing the present winter.
The object of the assembling of the
real estate dealers is to have them

that A. J. Rustad, better known as the
Norwegian Prince and one Of the

tain kind, and coupled with this the
dealers in nursery stock were not espe-
cially careful in filling orders with the
variety wanted. The result is that
many of the older orchards have an
over supply of fall apples and of plums
which it is hard to get to market with
out spelling. A fruit cannery would
go great way toward solving this
problem, and would make profitable
many orchards where tons of fruit is
now going to waste. The coming of
the electric railway will somewhat OBJ
viate the loss, however, as it will
make it more possible for the farmer
to ship from his very door, and with
out delay. But the fruit cannery is
the crying need of the country. 1t
would be a greater boon to this vicin-
ity than beet sugar factory.
