BISMARCK REFORM.

The cat that had nine lives had
nothing in the vitality line to COM
pare with reform at the state cap
ital. Most men who have been in the
newspaper business in this state re-
call the countless number Of times
they have chronicled the work of the
reform movement at Bismarck.
Many a time and oft the report was
sent broadcast that at last all the
blind pigs were closed, the jungles
were converted into sanctified regions
and the impression was given that a
real halo surrounded all that region "at
. or near Mandan" from the state pen
to the N P. bridge and from the hills
back of the capitol building down to
the banks of the Big Muddy.
But they are still reforming The
present movement was FASTENED by a.
double tragedy. 1t developed that the
man who butchered one of his lady
friends and himself had been bar
tender in the capital city. Of course
1t was something of surprise to the
public to know that such places ex-
listed in the city presided over by
Governor Burke and Andy Miller-his
genial partner in working the public.
Burke has impressed the people of
the state-especialIy the prohibition
lists and the W. C. T. u. folks as to
what hero he was-how he slammed
the blind pigs out of existence. His
wonderful accomplishments have been
exploited with such -earnestness that
the public has taken it as the gospeI
fruth-even doubling the later rumors
that the blind pigs were running in
the same old way. They were unable
TO realize how the places couIa he
eiesed-and running-at the same time.
There Is now another spasm of re-
form abroad at the capital. Another
campaign is on The opportunity for
political medicine" is too great to be
pverlooked-and Andy Miller is ON the
war path.
Candor and veracity compel the adj
mission that Attorney General Miller
is one of the cleverest politicians in
the state. He can give most of his
associates cards and spades and then
beat them to it. Whether you take his
reform work seriously or otherwise
he is a constant source of interest
He is a good natured sort of a cuss
with an epidermis Of about the same
thickness as an. elephant. absolutely
lmpervious to newspaper jabs.
He is now making the blind piggers
OF the capital city jump through the
hoop, stand on their heads lie down
and roll over. He will soon go on the
stump and tell the dear people what a
great manner of a man he is-and thew
are likely to believe it.
In any event if the people are to be
handed choice line of bunk-tbev
would just about as soon have Miller
peddle It as any man in the state He
does the job artistically and is entitled
to the cI1romos.

INAUGURATION DAY.

By an emphatic vote the national
house Of representatives has refused
to change the date of the presidential
inauguration-and hereafter as hereto
fore, be the weather conditions what
they may 1t will continue to occur on
March 4-the date originally fixed by
the constitution of the United States.
Perhaps an altogether different ex-
preston Of sentiment might have been
recorded on this question had the six
ty-frst congress met in the terrific
storm Of snow and sleet which envel-
oped the city of Washington when Mr..
Taft took the oath of office fourteen
months ago. 1t is doubtless well
within the limits of sheer truth to saw
that hundreds of people who braved
the Indictment conditions to witness the
inaugural ceremonies died from the
immediate effects of the blizzard. Mrs
Tart was among the number who were
Frustrated for weeks. Nor is It any,
thing unusual for the very worst sort
Of weather to prevail at the seat of
government on March 4, due to the
city's high latitude Indeed. so very
rare is it that the skies look smilingIv
upon the presidents formal induction
into office that what is called "inau-
guration day weather" has long since
crystallized into one of the nations
proverbs.
William Henry Harrison received his
death warrant on account of exposure
to the raw winds while riding to the
capitol to be inaugurated
From the effects of the severe wealth
er which attended President Garfields
inauguration in 1881 numbers of prom
inent people died-incIuding the Mexi-
can ambassador.
1t was proposed to change the date
of inauguration from March 4 to April
80, the latter date being well on toward
the summer season, and moreover
being the date on which Washington
took the oath of office as chief magis-
trate of the infant republic.
But neither historic associations on
the one hand-nor binding snow
storms on the other-could induce the
conservative lawmakers in Washing
ton to change the time honored date
for holding the inaugural ceremonies.
Some of them may have been infiu-
enced by an indisposition to see the
day converted into carnival for the
peculiar benefit of hotels and restaur-
ants.
Doubtless, however the majority of
them felt somewhat chary about tink-
ering with the fundamental law of the
land-in view of the blunders which
have heretofore been made in the way
of constitutional amendments and
they preferred, therefore, to adopt the
shrewd philosophy of Hamlet, and to
be content with the ills on hand.

Travellers Tales

Everybody who has been much or
| the streets lately has seen the hand
some new automobile that is being
driven by B. 1. Heating, secretary Of
| the Northern Trust Co. The auto was
not bought without a good deal o.
| trouble and inquiry on the part o.
| Mr.. Heating. According to a we'll
known salesman it was almost a veal
ago since the auto idea struck Mr.
Heating a terrific blow. He wanted
one, but he didn't like the idea of buy
ing until he had made thorough in
vestigation. When a machine stopped
anywhere near the bank Mr.. Heating
was out examining 1t. Somehow or
other the auto men found out that he
had an auto bee buzzing in his bonnet
These auto men have queer ways OF
finding such things out, just as the
land dealer finds out a prospective
buyer, and he was beseiged night and
day by dealers of all kinds. In fact
had Mr.. Heating paid close attention
to all that the different auto dealers
told him he would be able to deliver
an address that would outrival any of
the cultured remarks of Hector Barnes
before a party who is thinking of
buying" Early in the spring Mr..
Heating had made up his mind to buy.
He had also selected the machine that
he intended to possess, but in order
that no mistake might be made he
made up his mind to enquire of sew
eral of his friends who owned ma
chimes as to what they thought.
Quietly he approached Lieutenant
Governor Lewis and said "R. S., you
are one, of. my oldest trends. What
does it cost you to run your machine
a month";" Mr.. Lewis was somewhat
astonished, but he remarked that his
political bills were but a drop in a
bucket when it came to paying auto
bills. Fred Irish was also asked and
he said that running a baseball team
was nothing compared to the price of
running an auto When he approached
Harry ONeill, who sports a machine,
Mr. Heating was told that the angel
of a comic opera show had an easy
time with it in comparison to an auto
owner. In all thirty eight auto own
ers were called on and in not one case
did Mr.. Heating receive an assuring
answer. Then he sadly went home and
thought it over and as he wondered
why all these fellows kept the ma
chimes if they cost so much. he made
up his mind he was being "kidded"
and before O'Clock the next morn
ing he had awakened the agent of the
machine he wanted to buy and at $50
by the clock he was out on the street
with it.
j. III. Mubrig of Roswell, New Mexi-
co, was in the city yesterday on his
way from the south to Hannaford his
old home. Mr.. Mubrig was a resident
Of Hannaford for several years where
he was prosperous farmer. He left
here few years ago to make his home
in the state of New Mexico, selling off
his effects and farm in North Dakota,
and he was back to settle up some
business. He says everything is pros
pering nicely with him in his new
home and that he expects to have large
crops this fall. He says that he will
always have warm place in his heart
for North Dakota and her people, be-
cause he prospered here, but that he
is doing even better in New Mexico.
His old friends in Fargo were more
than Dleased to see him.
