{. D. D. BUSINESS
DIES WITH YEAR
" Q. LIQUOR CONSUMERS AND
BREWING COMPANY AGENTS
CONFRONTED WITH A coNpl.
TON WHICH CONTAINS MUCH
OF UNCERTAINTY.

Liquor consumers in North Dako+o
are beginning to wonder how they viii
pe able to secure their supply after
Jan. !, when the &C. 3. d." business
VIII be done away with through the
operation of the federal law. But CON
sumers are not the only ones anxiona
over the situation, as the manages of
distributing depots Of the great brewinp
companies along the border towns arc
equally worried.
1he adjustment Of the &C. O D.,
BUSINESS is a step toward better en-
1orcement of the prohibition law in
Norlh Dakota. The federal law does
away with the old system of sending
nquor under fictitious names into North
1e1hota towns, allowing these Shipments
70 remain In the hands of the express
companies till some one calls for them
and pays charges
The border brewing companv aeen+s
ana wholesale liquor dealers have ia
Ken notice of the existence of the law
and some time ago notified their North
dakota customers that they could no
longer supply their demands through
the old system.
Under the &c o. D." plan. as ~ is
worked in "dry" states. the express
companies are, to all intents and pur-
poses, the warehouses for the brewing
companies. In many Of the towns Of
North Dakota it has been customary
Tor the express agents to receive CON
slgnments of jugs or boxes consisting
OF dozens of individual packages. In
some cases they have simply been des-
lgnated by NUMBER, and Others such
names as John Doe" have been used,
ana the agent has been compelled to
hold the shipment until it was called
for.
The house which sends the goods
usually has a representative in the
town who is empowered to give written
orders for the merchandise so that
when a thirsty resident happens along
ne receives an order, hies himself to the
express agent and by paying the
charges against the consignment, re-
ceives 1t, thus making the express
agent the agent of the brewing com
pany. BY the federal regulation this
practice is entirely done away. ship

Third: IL we turn to the work Of

what is already being done In our new

pecially by the university and the ag-

ed all parts OF our land. we indulge
the hope that this line of effort will
grow and prosper and that all the

''But how are the higher educational
institutions to extend the teachings of
good citizenship answer is:
First: BY training up men and
women who viii be competent leaders
of the great social and civic movements
of the century. A college in Ohio
prior to the civil war believed that
slavery was wrong Professors and
students preached this doctrine during
vacations In churches and school
houses throughout Ohio and the re-
gions beyond--when the war broke out
class rooms were emptied and nearly
every young man able to bear arms
went to the front Here was col
lege loosing its life for great cause.
But when one recalls the noble part
played by Oberlin in putting an end to
human slavery, one will not feel that
the price paid was too great.
When one sees on that cam
pus today 1000 pupils from !.
parts of the world--and not a dollar
of aid from the state or national gov
ernment one must feel that 1t is worth
while 10 loose life for a great cause.
"Professor jerks says: IL our
teachers will but keep always in mind
the thought Of social happiness and
welfare and the needs OF humanity,
there will after all be very little trouble
about finding means and methods by
which we can teach good citizenship

What IL the merchant has bought the

Unfortunately our generation seems
to know the right, but to be losing the
power of doing 1t. Among certain
classes moral illiteracy prevails. The
school has lent the intellect wings but
the conscience crawls. The reason
moves swiftly along the highway with
the speed of a palace car: the virtues
follow slowly. as If moving in an OK
cart. A generation may be wise to-
ward books but illiterate toward
morals.

"If we do not see a return to political
power of men like Aaron Burr bril-
