Here we pay ten cents a bottle extra

Here we pay ten cents bottle extra
as an inducement to a man to be-
come a criminal He knows that If
he can evade the officerp Of the law,
or if he Is able to Elk" things, or
if he happens to be a particular pet
with pull, he can make more mon
ey in the blind pig business than in
any legitimate line. There are
countless inducements to blind pig
gers. Nine out Of ten men who sell
beer in North Dakota and by the
very act become criminals, could not
engage in the sale Of liquor in high
license state simply for lack of cap
ital. And the man who does operate
saloon in a high-license state gen.
orally obeys the law, his investment
being so great that he cannot af-
ford to take chances. And it has
been demonstrated that the sale of
liquor can be controlled under high
license, while North Dakota has
proved that it cannot be controlled
IN any other way The saloon keep
er and blind pigger are both unde-
sirable citizens, but Of the two, the
former is a gentleman, and not a
criminal.
But there is still another man,
created through the prohibition law
Of North Dakota, who is the para
mount criminal of them all. He is
the man who receives the 81 per
barrel or the rs cents per case as a
premium on the beer sold on his
premises; he is the individual who
rents his place of business for an
exhorbitant price to the fool of a fell
low who is willing to run his neck
into a moose Of the law, and pay his
landlord a commission on every dol
lars worth Of illegal business done.
He is the individual who clothes
himself with responsibility, gains
prominence in the community in
which he lives, builds up wealth on
the unlawful business of a tool"
who takes all the chances, and when
his tool" is caught the fellow who
should answer for the crime never
gets any further than to occasion
ally sign a bond in the insignificant
sum of perhaps $500 and the "tool"
skips out, justice is defeated, the
bond is forfeited, and the business
is again resumed by someone else
who is willing to take the chance.
This is the inside Of the pig bust
ness in North Dakota, and it. can be
found without leaving home.
The prohibition law is right in
principle, but it is wrong in every
thing else. If the sale of liquor
could be prohibited-then indeed
give us prohibition. But North Da-
kota prohibition Is a farce so far
az actual prohibition is concerned.
The Fargo Forum and every other
of influence in the state
can spend time and use space in
shouting about the appalling con-
ditions surrounding the sale of IL

EDITOR OF THE MINOT REPORT
Err PAYS HIS RESPECTS TO
THE BLIND PIGGERS.
ARGUES THAT CONDITIONS ARE
ACCOUNTABLE UNDER PRES
ENT SYSTEM OF NON-EN-
FORCEMENT.

The Fargo Forum speaks of ''the
appalling condition uncovered in the
case of a Casselton barber who sold
beer and whiskey to boys from Is to
IS years Of age" There is nothing
particularly appalling about this cir
cumstance; it is an ordinary condi-
ton under a prohibition law that
does everything but prohibit.
How long, we wonder, will the
God-loving, home-loving, honest. law
abiding citizen Of North Dakota sit
idle and allow this damnable farce
of so-called prohibition" to slide
along, carrying with it premium
on criminality and curse to man
hood? Better far re-submission and
the open grog shop than the North
Dakota blind pig. You ask why?
Well, have a care dear reader, if
you be one of those individuals who
believe that the world can be forced
onto a cold water diet; if you be one
Of those who believe that the prohi-
bttion law in North Dakota Is any
thing but curse; if you be one Of
those who sit idly by and dream Of
no nectar so sweet as that which
drips from the Shiny brim of "the
moss covered bucket that hangs in
the WE'LL" while your neighbor sits
by, equally idle, slipping three cents
worth Of barley brew from bottle
for which he has just parted with
thirty-five cents; we repeat, have a
care, and read no farther, lest that
which is written here in truth
should wreck your faith in man
kind and knock the logic out of your
boosted prohibition.
There is hardly city, village or
hamlet in the entire North Dakota
empire, where beer and whiskey
cannot be purchased today. And the
average man who sells intoxicating
liquor in North Dakota will sell it
to- boys under age, to women, to
habitual drunkards, to dope fiends,
to- any and everybody who has the
price. Why? Simply because the
crime of selling beer or whiskey is
Of itself a greater crime than sell
ing to minors or anyone else. When

but the Reporter believes If the same
time and space were used in show
ing the fallacy of the prohibition
law under the non-enforcement sys-
tenn In vogue in North Dakota, and
the agitation of rigid enforcement or
abolition. Of the present law, then
there would be no such appalling
conditions surrounding the sale of
liquor to minors" to record.

who may be injured or killed shall be
held to have EGen guilty Of contribu-
tory negligence in any case where the
violation by such common carrier or
corporation Of any statute enacted for
the safety Of employees contributed to
the injury or death of such employee;
nor shall 1t be any defense to such ac-
ton that the employee who was injured
or killed assumed the risks of his ems
ployment."
This bill, which would change the
rule as to assumption of risk and re-
peal the old common law rule. is in
line with the legislation by congress.
In Regard to Children Employees.
The legislative committee of the
State Federation. of Labor is also in
session here this week and has fin
ished the preparation Of the bill to
materially change the law in regard
to the burden of proof with respect to
the age of children employed in fac
tories. AT present it is incumbent up
on the state, in case of a prosecution
for violation of the child labor law, to
prove the age of the child said to have
been unlawfully employed, This is
found, in practice, to be an impossibil-
ity Now it is proposed to turn it
about and compel the employer to
lawful age. The bill has been diff.
cult of preparation but the labor lead-
ers believe thew have solved the prob.
lem.
The Law Enforcement Bills.
There is going to be some shaking OF
dry bones when the two Cosson billl
become law-one relating to the
duty Of sheriffs and the other to coun-
ty attorneys. Both are directed at the
non reinforcement of the laws with re-
gard to social crimes and especially
with regard to liquor selling and its
associate evils. Upon the bill which
passed the senate unanimously on
Monday a county attorney will have to
make reports to the governor or at
torney general upon request with re-
spect to the duties and administration
of his office. In general the bills will
secure uniformity in the administers
ton Of law in the state. In the sens
ate all members voted for these bills,
| except DeArmond, who lodged the
vote on both bills. while sitting in his
seat. The senators from Bnrlingtont
Dubuque, Iowa City and other cities
all voted for the bills.
| Law with REGARD to Labels on Paints,
| A hearing before the house agricul.

regard to labels on paints, practically
every paint dealer in Iowa would have

| TO remedy this it is proposed to allow

Feeder CATTLE
GETTING SCARCE
EVANS TELLS STOCK JOURNAL OF
THE CONDITION OBTAINING
IN THIS VICINITY.

The feeding of cattle is fast becom-
ing a past industry among Iowa farm
ers and stockmen, and the buying up
of such cattle is being done by them
outside of their own state where a few
years ago the opposite obtained, said
George W. Evans of north of the city
in an interview in the Drover's Tele-
gram of Kansas City recently. In
speaking of the cattle conditions in
Iowa Mr.. Evans had the following to
say:
1--WE are short on all kinds of cattle,
but more especially that class known
as butcher CATTLE" said G. w. Evans
Of Ottumwa, Iowa, yesterday. Mr..
Evans had just bought two carloads
of this class of cattle. 1T has not
been SO many years ago that Illinois
farmers came over into that country Of
ours, and bought up all the stockers
and feeders they needed But now we
find that we are very short ourselves,
and when we need a carload of cattle
of any kind We are compelled to come
to Kansas City for them. have been
doing all my buying here for several
years. 1t seems very strange when
we look back few years and see
what we could do, and compare pres
ent conditions with those. If farmer
has few cattle to sell he loads them
up and ships them to market. So far
as feeding is concerned we are doing
very little of it this winter. 1t did not
look very attractive in the fall, and so
farmers stood back. AS we near
spring there will be some cattle put
on feed, but not enough to make much
Of show. So far as corn goes l do
not look for any change in the price
Those who predicted high priced corn
will have to do some waiting think.
as there seems to be no show for any
advance now. A limit was placed on
the price Of corn by all who had any
intention of feeding. And when the
price got up near that price, feeders
backed off, and SO the bulk Of the corn
is being held If the price weakens
a little some feeding will be done l
believe that about all who bought cat
tie late in the fall and made a short
feed, made some money!

The girl who is to the bride that
which the best man is to the groom is
Usually timorous, cautious and little
wary of what her duties in the prem
SEES really are She is aware of the
Ill too apparent fact that she is not
The star nor the leading lady yet she
Is down for. Her position Is in the
.enter of the limelight with the bride
and she is worried about how much
Of the limelight really belongs to her
She knows she has part to play and
fears that she might overdo 1t. She
does not seem to be quite sure just
what she has to do.
The fact is that the best man has a
great deal more to do than the best
girl. He has all kinds of business to
attend to, as he looks after most OF
the details of the groom. 1t is his
part to see that everything goes Of
smoothly.
The maid of honor may devote her
time to practicing her solitary walk
down the aisle and seeing that hel
gown and hat are as perfect as purse
and figure allow.
The bride is the manager on all such
occasions Even if she never took
upon herself before the executive side
of an affair she insists upon running
her own wedding.
The groom is usually willing to let
anyone do everything for him. Not
SO the bride.
The Best Girls Duties.
Because she insists upon being con-
suited on every detail is one reason to
account for her breakdown the day OF
the wedding. She is always exhausted
She does not allow her maid of honor
to do anything concerning the details
of house procession, church and
clothes, so the duties of this best girl
are reduced to a few trivial acts at
the ceremony.
She is supposed to see that the
bride has ripped the third glove finger
of the left hand for the ring. She
holds the bridal boquet during its plac
ing, and slips the glove finger bach
into position.
At the end of the ceremony she re
moves the face veil from the bride be
fore the latter turns to go down the
steps of the altar. This veil is usually
short piece fastened with pearl head
ed pins ana is easily removed.
Receives With Bride.
She also arranges the train of the
bride when she turns around to fact
the guests She stoops and straight
ems it as the bride descends steps
gives her back the bouquet of flowers
and takes her own place with the bes
man to follow the bridal couple
At the house during the reception
she stands next to the bride and re
neives each guest If she is a stranger
the bride presents the guests to her
If she is home girl and there are an,
strangers among the bridesmaids she
presents the guests to these strang
ers.
AT the bridal table she sits next t.
the best man, and it is she who Otter
proposes toast to the bride.
In other days she usually rode to the
station with the bride and groom ant
saw them off 1t is now not considered
correct for any one to go with The
couple.

through China last year it was made

the people and government of that

Wing and sSilver Dart of that associa-
ton. declares that it is simple matter
to fly.
THE tendency at first" he said, lis to
pull the levers whenever the slightest
gust of wind strikes the aeroplane:, but
after a number Of flights found that it
was the tendency of the machine to right
itself without the aid of the operator.
Like a ship when 1t strikes a wave. it
would rise little and then quickly come
back to an even keel, riding through the
wave"
Aside from the bi-plane type OF heavier
than-air machine and the motor balloon.
or Hghter-nhan-air machine. there are
three types of flying machines dependa-
BILE upon motor power for fight which
are receiving serious attention from in
various countries that are most active in
the field OF artificial flight. The mono
plane, which has but a single surface.
has not been as successful a. the BIZ
number Of successful flights have been
made with this type by French aviators.
NJ. Bleriot recently evidenced greater
faith in the bi-plane, although he has had
several successful monopIanes. The An
toinette, the Zanault. Peletrie and the
Lambert monoplanes have proven very
successful, the latter having made flight
of over an hour.
The trl-plane, with three SuperpoSed
surfaces, has a number of advocates. but
has not made much progress. There are
also great many believers in the hello
copter. machine which depends upon
aerial screws to make it rise from the
earth as we'll as to propel it through the
air. The Cornu heliocopter of France and
the Williams and Berliner machines in
this country are the most promising of
this type The tenacity Of those who
favor the heliocopter in spite of constant
disappointment augurs well for its fu-
ture. The innumerable Tapping wing and
other types of unusual design do not re-
ceive much serious attention from the
experts and as nearly all of them are
based, they say, upon ignorance instead
of knowledge. little can be expected from
those types for the future development Of
fight.
There are two types of flying machines
which have received the Endorsement OF
two of the foremost men in aeronautical
work, but which have had few followers.
The first is the machine having num-
ber of planes following each other at
different levels. This was the plan which
was adopted by the late Prof. Langley.
and his Inflated machine had two pairs
of such planes. one set behind the other
and little higher than the forward pair.
Farman, the French aviator, has built
machine on this principle. having fVe
pairs of planes or wings. but he has not
attempted any flights. He calls the aero
plane the Flying Fish.
Prof Alexander Graham Bell is an
earnest advocate of the tetrahedral cell
construction. and there are number OF
aviators who begin to share his opinion.
The Cygnet II, a tetrahedral cell kite
equipped with Curtiss motor has been
experimental with, but has not proven en-
tirely successful The advantage of this
type of construction is that there is no

tened his wings melted and Icarus

When the Montg golfer brothers invented
the hot-air balloon in 1882 1t became the
general belief that the flying pigeon of
Archytas was based on the same principle
used in the Montgolfier balloon. Centu-
ries ago. in India. the principle of the
hot-dir balloon was used by magicianS

sand, which caused the miracle.
With the people of Europe in state Of
excitement over the possibilities of aerial
fight, and the various powers spending
millions of dollars in acquiring warshipS

has become a vital question OF the day.

whether the aeroplane or the motor bal

agree that there will be great improve
