INTERESTING READING
From \. D. UNIVERSITY

The merits and defects Of the commits
sion plan Of city government ought to
be pretty we'll understood before this
winter is owe That question is the
one to be debated BY the North Dakota
High School Debating league in the
contest for The Herald cup this, winter.
Already Devils Lake, Drayton. and
Valley City have sienified their in
tention to enter and photographers of
material have been sent out to them
from the university. Other schools with
good debating material should get into
line and participate in the discussion
of this very timely topic.
Books are moi over plentiful anywhere
in North Dakota and in fact in many
places the lack of proper sources Of ref
erence becomes almost a Hardship. In
recognition of this condition the univer-
sity with it's library of IS. 600 volumes
stands ready to cooperate with anyone
who is searching for light on any topic
within the range of the library's posi-
bilitiea. The library of a state uni
versity should DO and il; open not. alone
10 the students of that school but to all
the people of the state and especially
to the teachers and school authorities
who are in need Of help and direction
in gathering material for debates or
conducting investigations of any kind.
Word comes to the university from
Lester Thompson. brother of Ray Thomp-
sol. and son of North Dakota's new
senator, that he is spending the winter
in New Mexico for his health. Lester
was a student here about eight years
ago.
A letter received recently by Presi-
dent McVey of the university calls at
tention to an educational movement
which is very significant in the growth
and development of " lei neighbor.
the province of Manitoba. The univer-
sity at Winnipeg. is in the throes of a
reconstructive movment and President
McVey has been requested to be pres
ent at a big meeting to be held in
Winnipeg On the 9Th and 9th of next
month, at which the university's prob
lens will be thoroughly discussed. Pres.
McVey will contribute to the discussion
by telling of some of the things the
university of North Dakota is doing for
the people of our state.
The university of Manitoba is a loose
utilization of colleges somewhat along
the English plan. Ever since it's organ
~ization. some thirty years ago, it has
been dominated by the sectarian in
f~iuences which are backing the various
colleges. Something over a year ago,
however, a royal commission was formed
to take up the question of reorganization.
finance. the mutual relations of the
various affiliated colleges and the related
questions. The aim is to draw the
various organizations together into a
closer institutional life.

BISMARCK PIeeERs
HANDED Big BUNCH

On sentence day in district court in
Bismarck. possibly the largest number of
sentences was passed at one time in the
history of the district court proceedings
in the county. There were more than
thirty defendants at the bar when the
time came for passing sentences a little
before noon.
More than twenty of the defendants,
however. were those who had pleaded
guilty to failure to publish their liquor
Licenses, as required by the law passed
three years ago by the state Legislature.
States Attorney Stevens last summer
brought actions under this law against
all the holders of the special stamps in
the county who had failed to make the
necessary publication. All of the de-
PENDANTS in the action pleaded guilty
before the district court, and Judge Win
chester yesterday sentenced each one of
them to pay a fine of 500 and the costs
of the action. and to serve out the fine
at the rate. of 81 a day in case the
fine was not paid. Most of the defen-
dants have paid the fine and those who
do not will have to serve fifty days in
jail. There were two women among
those who were sentenced. Judge Win
chester stated that this law was a part of
the law OF the state and must be enforced
with all other laws. and that if any of
the defendants came before him again for
the anne ~offense, he intimated that the
sentence would be more eve

(By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, March 5.-The move
ment OF the stock market today was
, etill under the res .raint Of its pro
Sessional limitations
The days transactions were attri'
buted almost wholly to the trading
class and the operations were NOT
pushed beyond rather narrow limits.
Prices vibrated uncertainty and con
tinuously. The constant response
from financial markets to the varia.
tons in the tenor OF news from the
Balkans gives warning OF the power
OF disturbance lying in that subject.
Today its influence was favorable.
The reopen;ng Of wire communica-
items failed to bring in any apprecia-
bile volume OF orders. The impress
sion was thus given OF a dull market.
II was the suppos!t.on OF such a sag
cling market that prompted some re-
newal OF the professional selling.
which weakened prices again.
The bear attack was said to be
directed against some OF the accounts
for which the prices fixed for stop
loss orders had become known.
Slight speculative liquidation was
induced by the dip in prices, after
which another upward swing set IN.
The whole market showed con-
siderable sympathy with Reading. The
labor question Is looming into promi
nencc in the steel and coal trades
Erie still suffered from the dread that
compliance will not be found possible
With the requirement of the public
service commission for the numbe'

ing az well.
The estimates OF the weeks cur

substantial addition to the cash hold
ings CT the banks Of the inflow from
the. interior.
The money market was soft in con-
sequence. At the same time dis
counts were rather firmer In London,
toreign exchange rates rose and a
further outgo Of gold was made more
probable. An alleged option OF
purchase OF Kansas City Southern
held by E. H. Hartman, was the as
signed reason for the rise In those
stocks.
At the end Of the day the recovery
had restored the price level to higher
