No Voice Against Ordinance

There has not been a single voice
raised against the ordinance which we
are now going to enforce and which we
had nothing to do with in its making.
Mr. Allen has said that it was the city
who sent the women over to the re-
stricted district but did the city Of
iicials who did that repeal the ordt-
nance that makes those women crimt-
nails? | think those men wanted to
make an honest experiment and | am
not critcising them.
That city government is responsible
for it's own acts, however, and every
succeeding city government that has all
lowed the same violation of the law Is
also responsible to itself. They all knew
it was illegal. That can't be disputed,
and now we know it, and we're going
to enforce the law. We have been re-
quested to withdraw our protection from
those whom our own law declare GRIM
inals, and there remains nothing else
for us to do even if we desired.
1--WE made that decision some time ago
after long arguments on both sides of
the question and made 1t deliberately. AT
that time ] was in favor of giving these
women a longer time to sell their real
estate and so forth and move out but
| realized that unless we did something
within the next few months the matter
would be taken to the courts. The courts
of the country would be asked to enforce
the laws made by the city And that is
what would have happened and will hap
pen now if we should cnange our minds.
Is there anybody who wants to see our
city government Inundated by. the courts
enforcing the laws we have made our

- ONE pusdes have strange adventures in spite Of the fact that they are
fond OF their homes and stick to them as closely as they can, so daddy
told Jack and Evelyn.
"Tel us about a pussy that had strange ventures, " Jack de.
manded.
Very WELL" daddy answered. "There was a pussy at acat show In New
York city not long ago that had been shpwrecked.
This pussy had been brought up or the ship which was his home. Els
name was Tim. and he raj a good sailor.
"ope night the wind began to blow and the ship rocked In the waves until
even Tim did not like it. He went into the cabin, but there was n o me there
to stroke his back or pet him. Then he went down to the kitchen, but even
the cook was not in. You see it was a pretty bad storm. and the captain had
every one helping with the ship.
by and by the ship struck something that shook it so that Tim thought it
to SEE what would happen next Perhaps then he did wish he had been a land

When they got on deck the captain tucked Tim under his warm ot so
that he couldn't see what wa going II. Then the captain got into the life
saving machine which looked something like a cradle and the men who held
the other end Of the line drew On it. The cradle, with the captain and the
cat in it, went out over the waves that were rolling hercey and high as If to
reach them. ..- "r g.
But at last they got safely to land, and the captain took Tim with him to
the warm, nice house where he a invited. Everybody looked at the cat and
said how well he had behaved and what a wonderful time he must have had.
And when the cat show opened the people who held it begged that the
little sailor cat who had been shipwrecked should be sent there for people to
see. And do believe Tim ws looked at more than any Of the aristocratc
pusses who took prizes. And if there had been any prizes given for brave
cats I'm u Tim ought to have taken the first prize for behaving 30 nicely

HIGH Class Music.

Manager FoWrer OF the Orpheum is
presenting a grand feature in the shape
of the Iwanoff Russian orchestra, and
w. Abekeef, a noted opera singer of
Russia. There are ten members of the
orchestra and he music is exquisite,
the singing of the star masterful and
he entire selection Of the numbers
most pleasing. 1t is a great big impos-
ing act that was appreciated.
Remark & Riley in their act, Black
Art in a Dark House, have a clever
stunt in which mem lose their heads
and legs and other parts of their anat-
omy right in full veiw of the audience
and a great deal of fun was created.
Miss Evelyn Dare has a beautifully
rendered new song. Avery & Taylor
have a new act in black face which
goes exceedingly well and gets them
much applause, and Lloyd & Black
have a most pleasing singing novelty
that brought a recall. The whole show
was pleasing. The shows all open with
the excellent Orpheumscope moving
pictures and the Coscio orchestra in
new numbers.

charged with a capital offense of any
advantage the law gives him in his
fight for life, but where a life Is at
stake the incentive is great to secure
the service of a friend on the jury
to hang it in case the other eleven
conclude the defendant should hang
instead, as the incentive is great there
is no doubt that the scheme is often
worked to save a clients neck. This
is one of the weaknesses Of the jury
system that the people would be prone
to retain, however, as they would not
want to deprive a man charged with
murder of any reasonable doubt.
In cases less than capital offenses a
majority verdict, it seems, would not
only be equitable, but they would do
away with the chance of bringing
about a mistrial by fixing" a single
juror to hang the jury.

TUESDAY, FEB. II, 1918.
TERMINAL

The state senate at it's session yes
terday passed, by an almost unani-
nous vote, the concurrent resolution
amending the constitution Of the state
of North Dakota, empowering the leg
islature to provide for terminal ele-
vators in this state. The bill now goes
to the house. and If passed there will
go to the people.
The amendment reads as follows:
The legislative assembly is hereby
authorized and empowered to provide
by law for the erection, purchasing o.
leasing and operation of one or more
terminal grain elevators in the STATE
Of North Dakota, to be maintained
and operated in such a manne as the
legislative assembly shall prescribe,
and provide for Inspection, Weighing
and grading Of all grain received in
such elevator or elevators.
1t is possible that this amendment,
which will undoubtedly pass the house
and finally be ratified by the people,
will be of special importance in the
very near future. 1t will perhaps be
very few years before there will be a
radical change in the marketing OF
the grain crop of the northwest, With
the opening of the outlet in Canada
through Hudson bay, and with the
opening of the Panama canal 1t is
probable that instead of the trade
routes of North Dakota being entirely
east and west. that there will be very
strong competition from north 9nd
south routes.
The North Dakota crop is reaching
such proportions that there should be
a system of terminals in. this state
even under the present system of
grain routes. and with transconttnental
lines cutting the state north and south
as we'll as east and west this need
will become imperative. With term
inal elevators under the jurisdiction of
North Dakota there would be a bet
ter chance for the farmers TO get a
fair deal in weight, doc6age and price.
The move for state owned terminals
is one Of very great Importance to
North Dakota.

The Theatres
Great Comedy Production.

The Grand Stock Co. opened for the
first three days of this week in Court
ed into Court, which under the name Of
The Man on the Box was seen in this
city at high prices and in comparison
the Grand's players showed up well.
The rather intricate story of the clever
comedy was nicely told by the company
under the direction of Geo. V. Halli-
day. The Miss Lefty Lee, the star part
in the capable hands of Miss Zolman,
was exceedingly well done, for she had
a part that was suited to her. The
work Of Mr.. Miller as the young man
in trouble was also very well acted.
The two had the big roles of the piece
and the other members of the company
did all that was required of them with
ability. The scenic effects under the
hand of Ed Borman were also all that
could be desired. The play will run
the first half and The Topsy Turvy
House will be on the balance Of the
week..

A MoMENrous QUESTION.

President Taft has a big problem
on his hands in settling the fate of
the immigration bill that has been
passed by congress and which proposes
a literacy test for the foreigners who
come to American shores. This meas
ure has long been advocated by many
who wish to restrict immigration.
There is little doubt but that some
bar is needed, hut whether it is to
bar the illiterate may be questioned.
Speaking Of the problem that con-
fronts the president The New York
Post of Feb. Z says:
1t is plain that Mr.. Taft is fully
conscious Of the Importance that will
attach to his action in approving or
vetOing the immigration bill now be-
fore him. Yesterdays hearing at the
White House took on the form almost
Of a judicial proceeding, and the pres
ident is to round out the oral pleas
with a study Of formal briefs sub
mitted on both sides.
The momentous nature of the pro-
posed legislation consists in this fact,
that for the first time the principle,
not Of the regulation Of immigration,
'"N NAS NSD@ So" VI =
is to be made the policy Of the land.
Little p%retense is made that the liter
acy test in the bill is really intend
ed as a qualifying test. Its aim is
not to sift out, but to shut out.
The sitting process is accepted by
the advocates of the bill because the
country is evidently not prepared for
a policy of downright exclusion; but
1t is a concession accepted with the
plain hope of larger things to some.
There is no need here to point out
more how the reading test, in
so far as it operates as a restrictive
measure, will run heavily against a
class Of sturdy immigrants whom this
country can i'll spare.
The salient point today is that,
with this reading test put into the
law Of the land, the writing test and
other onerous sitting and restricting
processes will not be slow in forth
coming. Mr.. Taft may well hesitate
before he associates his name with
the breaking of a great American
tradition.

UNANIMOUS

The jury system, under the laws of
most of the states, is such that a
unanimous verdict is necessary to
secure conviction in a criminal case,
which often makes it hard even in the
plainest cases of guilt to convict, rs
there are many ways to hang q jury
by securing the favor of one man.
1t has often been the case that one
juror has stood out for acquittal to
the last against the other eleven who
were for conviction, and such attitude
on the part of a single man often ex-
cites suspicion and sometimes very
unfavorable criticism. The lone Juror
in criminal cases of Importance lays
himself open to the charge of having
been unduly and wrongfully influence
ed, and no doubt there are many cases
in which the facts justify the charge.
In New Orleans two bankers have
just been tried for having gotten away
with half a million dollars. 1t seems
that a clear case of guilt was estab-
Iisfed against them, and eleven of the
Jury so decided. but the one remaining
Juror refused to side with the eleven,
holding out to the last for acquittaI.
InNorth Dakota this kind of verdict
would have been a mistrial, but it
VAS not that way in Louisiana. for the
aw in that state provides that nine
bf the twelve on the jury can render
j legal verdict of guilty or acquittai.
rhe law presumes in that state that
( three to one on the jury hold either
me d or the other that ought to be
satisfactory In the Of being
suitable and justidable.

thought the state could do as well and
he supported the bill. Senator Davis
then rose again and stated that he
did not think it any more possible to
establish terminals along the Red
river than it would to establish sta
tons for flying machines.
Senator Mcdowell took up the sub
ject at some length, and said that the
matter had been thoroughly fought
out in the committee On Judiciary, and
he thought this measure should re-
ceive the approval of every man in
North Dakota. He thought it was
high time that the state to
handle it's own grain. Too much soil
fertility had been disposed of in the
state and not enough labor. The rail-
road terminals and commission men
with but little capital had made mil
lions out of North Dakota grain and
he thought it was time the people of
the state kept this for themselves, and
that the legislature should take some
action towards making this provision.
The Bill Passes.
When the bill was finally placed on
its final passage it received 46 ayes,
with Senator Davis, Hughes and
Young voting no, while Senator Steel
was absent.
Lien Law is Sustained.
The senate convened promptly at 2
o'clock Monday afternoon with only
one member absent, who was excused.

woRKMEN's COMPENSATION ACT

The workmen's compensation act
passed by the senate Of the United
States has been favorably reported on
by the house judiciary committee,
with recommendations for amendments
to broaden and strengthen the
act, the amendment being to make 1t
apply to employees Of express COM
panies as we'll as to those of railroads
and to give state courts ]onCurren
jurisdiction with federal courts in the
enforcement of the provisions Of the
law.
This proposed law is in line with
laws Of similar character enacted in
some Of the states and which are
being considered by the legislatures
Of other states, the trend in all sec
tions being to enact such laws as will
be fair and equitable to both the
ployer and the employee.
The proposed federal law as amend
ed and reported by the house judi
ciary committee fixes as the maxi
mum monthly wage to be used in cal
cuIating percentages $500.
Where death results, the amounts to
be paid for a period of eight years
range from 80 per cent of the monthly
wage in case there is a widow and
n or more dependent children, to
10 per cent in event there are only
partly dependent relatives.
It is provided that compensation to
a disabled employee shall range from
so per cent of the monthly wages for
life for employees sustaining perma-
nent total disability, to so per cent for
four months for the loss of a toe.
1t is contemplated that the act shall
be effective on and after July /, 1913.
