Requires Only 4 Majority.

There appears TO be a
popular misunderstanding
concerning the vote requir-
ed to adopt q constitutional
amendment in this state.
Many persons were under
the impression when the two
amendments were voted on
last November that three
fifth majority was necessary
for ratification, and the
same erroneous idea has
been expressed in connec-
ton with the prohibition
amendment now pending in
the senaye. Article IA of
The state constitution pro
vides in its second section
the following manner in
which that instrument may
be amended:
Any amendment to the
constitution Of the state may
be proposed in either house
Of the Legislature; and if the
same, being read on three
several days 10 each house,
be agreed to on its third
reading by two-thirds of the
members elected thereto, the
proposed amendment, with
the yeas and nays thereon,
shall be entered on the jour
nails, and it shall be the duty
Of the legislature TO provide
by law for submitting the
same to the voters of the
state for ratification or re-
lection at the next general
election thereafter, and
cause the same to be publish
ed at least three months be-
fore such election in some
newspaper in every county in
which a newspaper is print
ed. And if d majority Of
the qualified voters voIing
On the question at the polls
held pursuant to such law
ratify the proposed amend
ment, it shall be in force
from the time Of such ratifi-
cation, as part Of the con-
sIitution Of the state.

There is nothing alarming
in it, though the report is in
teresting that public librar-
les in various cities have
noticed a decrease in circula-
ton for 1910 as compared
with 1907 In Buffalo a
falling off of $4,000 volumes
is reported and a similar
condition was noted in
Brooklyn. The decrease in
circulation is heaviest in fc-
ton. There are doubtless
excellent reasons for the sub
sidin = interest in this class
Of literature. One of the
most potent is probably The
moving picture show.
Young America does not
care to wade through a thick
volume for a few thrills
when they can be better OK
perienced and the scenes
more wildly pictured in the
short period of time required
for the reelng off Of a finn
and for The insignificant
cost Of o mic ell. Another
cause for the decline of fc-
ton in the circulating libra
lie5 may be found in the SCI
rial publication Of best sell
ers" In p vastly increasing
number OF newspapers and
cheap magazines. The pop
uIar publications and The
moving picture shows com
bined furnish about ain of
this form ofmental pabulum
the average person has time
or inclination to assimiyate.

MANDAN, N. D., July 21.-The case
of the State VS.. Anton Ereth, Chris
tian Geiger and John Kunz, charged
with assault and battery, came up for
trial today before Police Magistrate
Iverson. The state is represented by
States Attorney H. r. Biting, and
the defendants by Attorney B. w.
Shaw Of Mandan and Attorney II. R.
Berndt of Bismarck. The case of
Anton Ereth was the first to come
up and 1t is developing into quite
sensational trial. TIE three men were
arrested at Odense short time ago
as result of fight which started in
the Catholic church there. The church
was packed and there were orders
that no one was to go up into the gal
lery as 1t was already full. The de-
PENDANTS are said to have started up
anyhow and resented being kept out,
and scrap occurred. The defend.
ants are pleading that they fought
In self-defense. The Ereth case will
probably be finished this afternoon,
after which the Geiger case will be
heard.

COMPLETES CAMPAIGN
AMONG "FR|ENDLESS"

Rev. George B. Newcomb has just
returned from trip throughout En-
mons county in the interest of his
"Friendless" work. He was accom-.
panied by Rev. l.. A. Lovelace 6f Lin
ton, who furnished the team. Two
hundred and twenty-six miles overland
were made during the ten days, and
Mr.. Newcomb delivered nine addresses
in as many places. 1t was a school
house and rural church campaign and
the report is that the audiences, barring
an exception or two, were large, and
on some occasions the meeting places
were too small to accommodate the
eager listeners.
Asked with regard to the crop condi-
tons. he said that very generally in
the northern half of the county con-
ditions were very favorable, though
rain is needed. The southern part is
badly burned, but fortunately the set
tiers there general have been a long
time located and can stand season
or two with shortened income. Even
In face of the drouth. corn that has

Maine WAS BLOWN
FROM THE OUTSIDE
10y Associated Press)

HAVANA July 21.-That the United
States battleship Maine was sunk in
Havana harbor as the result of an ex-
ternal explosion would seem to be
definitely established as a result of
the examinations which have fol-
lowed the removal of practically all
the water surrounding the wreck of
the submerged ship.
The destruction of the bow as far
aft as frame eighteen has been ex-
posed, permitting an analysis of the
plates, beams, ribs% etc., and it has
been shown conclusively that they
originally belonged to the structure
of the double bottom which is now
elevated to height of about 40 feet
above the normal position, apparently
giving confirma+ory evidence of a
tremendous exterior explosion.
