The Burden OF Crime, Pauperism and
Insanity.
1t Is estimated that the cost of
providing for the added crime, pau
perism, fdiocy, and insanity pro-
duced by alcohol In the United States
paid for by direct taxation exceeds
81 ,000, 600, 900 per annum.
The Last Stand OF the Human Race.
In America we are making the
last stand against the demon OF drink,
the enemy of the great white race,
and substantially of the human race.
III this destroyer can not be CON
quered in young America, IL can not
in any Ot the old and more degener-
ate nations. If America fails, the
world will be uudone and the human
race Will he doomed To 20 down from
degeneracy into degeneracy till the
Almighty in wrath wipes the ac-
cursed thing out.
Do yon know the last census, that
VI l'i'i !'NtdiN aiilf luNl illhN pf-
tween the ages of ten and twenty
one, representing school years, there
we're III ,H2 more illiterate males
than females? Do you know that If
men and women had been equally
entitled to the franchise in 1910,
there would have been 10000 fewer
illiterate among the women than
men, who between the ages of u and
n would have east their first presi-
Dental vote?
Do you know that the movement
for woman suffrage is only one phase
of the eternal warfare of all the cen
turtles for human liberty? In the
Presidential election Of 1904 the total
vote cast was 1861 $50. while the
total number OF men eligible to vote
as to age qualification was2l ,OOO, 900.
Shall We disfranchise II millions be-
cause the seven millions did not
vote? The reform party of Phila-
delphia reports that ~ per cent of
the total vote was not east in the
municipal election OF 1918, and in
the New York municipal election Of
the same year, the reformers claim
that 60 900 registered voters failed to
vote. Should ali men BE dlsfran-
chised because some dc not vote?
Or should all women remain unen-
franchised because some do not
wish To vote?
Do You know that many women
are as earnestly anxious to vote as
any man in the land? Should not
all men and women who are public
spirited ana iiberty-loving have the
privilege OF the ballot? Can we eX-
pect women to move In the interest
of their own sclf-government, since
no class of men has ever done so?
Instead the movement to divide Of
fetal power has always come from
those who possessed IL, and never
through the appeal Of the disiran-
chised. Woman suffrage, like man
suffrage, must come through the
generous action of those who now
possess the power To give 1t. In
fact, more women, in proportion to
their numbers, have asked for the
ballot than have men Of any dis
franchised class in the history of
the world.

GOOD ROAD WORK
AT JAMESTOWN

Jamestown, N. D., March 25.-The
annual meeting of the Stutsman Coun-
ty Good Roads association will be held
Wednesday, March "a, at 2 p. m, for
election of officers and such other
business as may come before it.
This association is an annex to the
movement for better farming in the
state as its aim is greater efficiency
in the transportation Of farm products
and supplies, as well as a benefit to
the owners of autos and other power
propelled vehicles. Anything that will
improve the roads Of the county and
reduce the wear and tea upon vehi-
cles and reduce the cost Of vehi-
p~ortation will be Of much benefit to
farmers.
During the last season the associa-
tion expended something like $40 on
the county roads to good purpose.
Over $500 of the money raised last
year by auto license by the state, ETC.,
is on hand to begin work this season
and will give the~assoctation better op"
portunity TO do good work on the
roads and section lines of the county.
Under the law none of this money can
he expended in the incorporated cities
and villages of the county, necessitat-
ing that it all be spent upon the rural
roads.
President Kurtz hopes there will be
a good attendance at the annual nleet-
ing to assist in the selection Of officers

ruffian getting scared a toward the
elevators. He had on a heavy s-eep-
lined coat which concealed his fea-
lures considerably, though they think
they got a sufficient view OF him In
the dusk, to identify the man should
they see him again. The sheriff is
at work on the matter, but so far there
are no developments. Whether intend
ed merely to scare the ladies or with
criminal intent the fellow should be
apprehended ana given the limit.

MAGIC CITY HAS

HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF
DOLLARS WILL BE SPENT ON
NEW BUILDINGS.

Minot, N. d.. March 25.-Hundreds
of thousands Of dollars will be spent
upon new buildings in Minot the COM
ing eason and contractors now have
plans on hand which show that the
season of 1912 is going to be one Of
the busiest, If not the busiest, from a
structural standpoint ever experienced
in this city.
Already the steel work is going UP
for the handsome new $685. 900 500
depot and the contractors a that
they will push it through to completion
without further delay. Nearly all OF
the material is on hand, such as brick,
etc., and with continued warm wealth
err rapid Roadway will be made. The
brick work on the express depot is
already well along.
Contractor d. A. Dinnie is working
a large crew Of men overtime on the
new armory building and this struc-
ture is taking definite shape. The new
armory will cost approximately $685.
600 when completed.
1t is also stated that work on the
new Jacobson block at the corner of
Second and Reishus streets will soon
be resumed. Over on the north side
a large force Of men are busy on the
new sewage plant.
Porter & Nelson have purchased
property at the corner of Belyea and
E. First street and will probably erect
a first class meat market and cold
storage plant this spring. The Mincr
Hide & Fur Co. have also secured
property near their present location.

GOVERNOR BURKE
MAY Be SUED

Bismarck, N. D., March 25.-The SUI
IRENE court Of North Dakota has
handed down a decision denying the
request by the defendant for a re-
Thus endeth the last chapter and the
book. The court martial which GUST
ed former Adjutant General Poole
from the organized militia of the state
was declared illegal. and General Poole
is r~einstated as a member of the guard.
The Poole CASE has occupied the
center Of the stage for yer three
~years-part of the time at least.
More momentous questions have rel
egated 1t into the wings on occasions,
but it has always bobbed forth Sc
renely. The opponents of General
Poole continued to wage their con-
1ict but have finally me their Water
loo. The mantle of %obscurity is drawn
over the case, and it is now ancient
history.
General Poole was discovered at the
Hotel Mckenzie by a reporter and
when asked for an interview apropos
he supreme courts final decision,
said:
II am very much pleased with the
final outcome of the case. 1t vindi-
Gates my contention that Governor
Burke was exceeding his authority
n was in the wrong in attempting
to organize a court martial for the
purpose which he did.
"This procedure has cost the state
Of North Dakota between $1,40O and
$4,000 to prosecute. The expense was
not borne by the governor personally,
but by the state itself. The expenses
of my defense have been borne by me
individually. 1t has been quite expen-
sive, n / have investigated the prop
osition Of bringing an action for dam
ages against Governor Burke person.
ally-both exemplary inc actual dam
ages. This would include all the ex-
pense I have been through to defend
myself before an authorized and illegal
court martial.
II am convinced beyond a doubt
that there is absolute precedent for
such procedure. The supreme courts
decision has left nc question as to the
cause of action. There r or two
legal questions being Investigated that
might have bearing on the case, and If
they are deemed favorable, an action
will be commenced in the district
court against the governor at once.
I am going into the affair on absolute
ly sure footing.
Il have refrained in every way from
discussing the courtmartial procedure
in the newspapers while it was pend
ing before the supreme court. But
row that it has been finally decided in
my favor it is my intention in the near
future to present to the public some
features of the case that were not
passed upon by the supreme court. I
will also give an itemized account Of
the expense the state has been put to
by the institution Of this unauthorized
and unnecessary proceeding by the gov
ernor. His unwarranted, illegal, and
spectacular use of military force, and
his usurpation of authority was SO
palpably raw that it shows plainly
upon its face political was done malic-
iously, and for purposes. I. don't mind
furnishing the features for a side show
like the governor put on, but 1 do ob-
5ect very seriously to paying for it
myself. Let Jones pay the freight
