Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1913-02-11

heard of certain prof 'ssional gentlemen
getting full on peanuts and other kinds
of elixirs to break up colds and other
dangerous attacks incident to humanity,
but never before nave we heard Of II
person, especially a journalist, getting
full on candy for the purpose of breaking
up a bad case of lonesomeness. 1t is
said that the remedy was efficacious and
wrought q miraculous n sudden change
in said journalist and entirely broke up
the treacherous and malignant disease,
and that the said journalist was perfect
ly restored to his usual and normal jour-
nalisfic equanimity. Such is fame. Such
is glory. None but a Roman of the R0-
mans could have achieved such. 1t is
further stated that having broken up
that ID ionesomeness, the said jour-
nalist Immediately wrote the highest
price story during his entire life. 1t is
reported that the sentences in that story
twined like serpents n that the words
! Kissed like poisoned adders. The cir
cumstance excited the attention of the
medical profession to such a degree that
an investigation was made of it to as
certain what possible connection there
was between candy and snakes.
Larimore Pioneer: a. o. Koto, of
NorthwOod, wants it distinctly under
stood that his son-in- lay, Senator O. o.
Trageton, is voting according to the will
! of his constituents on the woman suf-
frage question in the n and for that
| reason takes al alleged poll of the WON
en- in Northwood and claims, according
to the Cleaner, that they are almost a
unit in favor of votes for women in
the Fifth district and the Northwood
Cleaner insults the Larimore ladies in a
write-up, in that paper of last week.
In an interview with a prominent citi-
zen of that city yesterday he stated that
the poll taken there was entirely mis-
! leading and that there were but very
few ladies of Northwood in favor Of vot-
ing and information from all sources
coming from that place the statement of
the Northwood business man is confirmed.
The Cleaner is straining at a gnat and
swallowing a Cam(pb)el. In due course
of time there will be more onNthis ques-
! ton.
With the session more than half fin
ished progress so far has been rather
slow. The hoppers of both branches are
full of bills and the committees are talk
ing their time in considering the many
measures. The main issue of this ses-
sion is the provision for the initiative,
referendum and recall. This bill has
passed the house after a long debate and
is now with the senate committee on
elections and is expected to be reported
back for passage any day.
Opposition to this measure may not
be as strong as was predicted for both
the stalwart and progressive elements of
the republican party issued pledges dur
ing the past campaign supporting such
a provision. The only objection raised
to the initiative and referendum feature
of the bill is the fact that it will afford
an opportunity to re-submit the prohi-
bition question. Heretofore the initiative
and referendum las received opposition
from the w. G. 7. u. organizations; of
the state, but this time there is a strong
movement over the state in favor of votes
for women, and as tie women are anx-
ious to have their, measure carry this
session they are not opposing any legis-
lation that has been so far proposed.
1t can be taken. for granted that this
session of the legislature will attempt
to locate another insane asylum some
where in the state. Early in the session
bills were introduced asking that asy-
uns in addition to the one located at
jamestown by the constitutional conven-
tjOn in 1870 q ct0to bcSpitnl ho 1oonto1
at Garrison, New Salem, New Rockford,
Leeds, Rugby, Towner and Darlington.
There has been several meetings of the
joint committees from both branches re-
garding this proposition and it has been
finally decided that the senate and house
state affairs committees take a trip over
the state for the purpose Of visiting all
these towns and report back to the as
sembly which town offers the best ad-
vantage. t>
The balance of the session will be full
Of activity as practically 500 measures
are still on hand to be disposed of.
Among these bills are those carrying the
appropriations for the state departments
and institutions. Over $4,000 has been
appropriated by the measures Offered,
and as there is only 81, Tao, 900 available
the committees of the senate and house
will have some tall figuring to do to find
enough to 80 around. While it was pre-
dicted some time ago that an early, adj
journment would prevail before the six
ty days had expired, it is now predicted
that both branches will be holding morn
ing and evening sessions and that it will
take the full sixty days to complete the
work that is now before the assembly.
