The STATE
CAPITOL IS
DESERTED

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 31.-The state
capitol is a deserted looking place to-
day. Practically all the legislators
have gone home for the recess.
A number of railroad men have
come to Bismarck and will put up a
fight on bills that propose railroad
reforms" There is strong opposi-
tion on the part of the railroads to a
bill which provides that trains that
take a siding must "get into clear
fifteen feet at each end. Other rail-
road bills will be fought.
Next Wednesday the Ployhar-
Blakemore initiative and referendum
bill will come up and it is expected
that it will cause some fireworks.

1t is expected that Nine. Ray
mond Poincare, wife of the newly
elected president of France, will
revive many of the favorite social
functions which have been neglect
ed during the past administration.
Armand Fallieres. the retiring
president, and his wife, were very
conservative about social matters,
and entertained only when it was
absolutely necessary. The people
of France give their president
100000 year for expenses, and a
like amount as salary. The Falli-
eres lived very economically, and,
it is believed, saved the greater
portion of the salary and expense
money. But Mime. Poincare will
undoubtedly be more liberal, and it
is said that she is planning a series
of receptions and dinners which
undoubtedly will restore the post
of first lady in the land to popular
favor.

THE REAL HOPE.

Golfers Weekly: The only we'll
established fact in the midst of much
that is obscure regarding tuberculosis
is that it is the most durable of dis
eases. One reason why "treatments'
flourish is that apparently complete
cures are a familiar thing in the
course of ordinary tuberculosis, and
that nothing seems to start these
seeming cures more than some great
hope. 1t Is now known that practical
ly every child reaching the age of
twelve has or has had some form of
tuberculosis. How the disease is &C.
CURED Is at present a complete mys-
terry; but it is almost certainly AZ.
CURED In infancy. 1t is equally OBJ
scure as to why ten or twenty wears
later these t~uberculitic "tearths," as
physicians call them, should fare up
into a virulent attack. But what is
known Is that less than one out Of ten
die of this disease, therefore that nine
out of ten tuberculosis cases get we'll.
What Is yet more hopeful is that prob
ably within fifty years the death rate
from tuberculosis has been cut In half.
Provided it is caught in time, this
worldwide plague presents relatively
little danger. That is why every per-
son up to the age of thirty ought to
be carefully examined for tuberculosis
at least once in six months. 1t seems
fairly clear that 1t Is in no sense a
hereditary disease: and if, as many
careful workers now believe. the main
mode Of contagion is from the mother
or father to the infant after birth,
complete control Of Tuberculosis would
then become merely a matter Of san
itary organization. The tests for tu-
berculosis are simple and clear; they
ought to be taught in the public
schools. Then we should have little
need Of sanatoria. and still less of Ger
man physicians with secret nostrums.

END to bring the referendum into dis

tend to bring the referendum into dis
repute.
The advocates of women suffrage
will naturally he disappointed, and
perhaps disguised with this action by
the governor, but on the whole, he
seems to have the situation sized up
correctly. 1T is possible, though not
probable. that If the question were
submitted to the voters after the lapse
OF only two years. it would be found
that they had changed their minds.
But the likelihood Of this is so slight
that it does not appear to warrant
bringing up the question again after
SO short an interval. And it Is certain
that if it becomes the custom in Wis
consin or any other state to submit
questions to the voters. and then sub
nit them again. and keep on submit
ting them. it will not be long before
the people begin to feel that they have
made a mistake in adopting the refer
endum, and an agitation will be start
ed against it.
The referendum. under proper ar
rangements. and properly restricted is
a good thing. Opportunity should be.
afforded for the submission to popular
vote of great questions in which a suf-
fcient number of people are interested
to warrant such action. But there
should certainly he some restriction
nn tho fcor,,op,, ,,it6 which Tho nv,
question can be brought before the
voters. If there is not we shall soon
see the end of the referendum.

A STATE WITH 4. PRIME; MN
ISTER.

Some of our states are political Ia
boratories, wherein experiments nave
been worked out. and whose successes
and failures have proved t"
other states and to the union, says the
Minneapolis Journal.
Some states are now experimenting
with the initiative and referendum
with the commission form of admin
istration, with other devices designed
to further government directly re-
sponsive to the will of the people, able
To legislate with facility and exact
ness and to function with precision
and dispatch.
1t is now suggested that some state
20 to the seat of h trouble and solve
the problem. not by palliatives such
as the initiative and referendum and
the commission, but by adopting the
cure that President Lowell of Har-
ward has advocated, that Presidents
Taft and Wilson have Endorsed. This
is the ministerial system, h system
worked out in Great Britain the

gives the people good government not
only in the mother country. but in
Canada, Australia. New Zealand and
South Africa.
Any state of the union could set up
such a government, which is thor
oughly republican. a governor, iso-
lated on an executive island and IL leg
islature without real leadership and
hence without true responsibility, are
not essential to a republican govern
constitution or elsewhere to prohibit
a states undertaking this most inter-
esting experiment.
1t is suggested that Kansas or Wis
consin or oregon might work put the
experiment for the benefit of all. 1t
would not be necessary to call the gov
ernor a prime minister. Let him still
be called governor and LIT the legis-
lature delegate TO him a prime min
listers function. Such a governor. like
M%anitoba's or Ontario's prime minis
ter, would sit in the legislature. frame
legislation, he held responsible, be
turned out by a hostile vote. Or the
governor could be made a mere hon
orary head of the state. and a prime
minister or chief secretary, or what
ever he might be designated, could
with his associates constitute the real
government.
Some state might try this expert
nent and set an example. 1t has been
proved workable whenever it has been
tried-at Westminster, at Ottawa, at
Winnipeg. in Newfoundland, New Zea-
land, New South Wales, Cape Colony.
But the question is whether it could

THE last day! The last day.
These three words formed themselves
into a refrain that throbbed in Mrs.
Tyner's brain like the roll of an end
less chain. The last day for their
home-hers and Ralph's. That was
their meaning. but she had realized 1t
slowly. The shock of the unexpected
knowledge had been too great.
The mornings work was finished
without thought, v to the giving Of
extra little touches here and there.
Then, because there was nothing
more to do. she went and sat on the
porch, her hearing strained for
Ralph's first football.
Something must be done!" she
kept telling herself. IF Ralph would

If Ralph would only come! Sud-
chill went to her heart. Ralph, her
husband, the man without an ambi-

knowing?
What. indeed. Mrs. Tyner knew
that her call for help was vain and

ton. Her marriage had been a bitter
disappointment, her huband a re-

Growing children can learn the

United States government is so inter-

Those in the city schools get only a

To those who have a feeling that
the education in the suburban schools
is not equal to hat Of the city schools,
reference might be made to the nu-
merous great e and women who
have not had city educations. So
poultry, properly handled. may be a
help to the city man who fears the
expenses of the suburbs.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVEN.
TON.

Two weeks from now Grand Forks
will be entertaining the. greatest COM
pany of Sunday school workers ever
assembled in the state to attend a con-
v%ention of any kind. That. we believe,
is assured, for arrangements have
tendance.
The delegates. or n large number Of
them will ome on two special trains,
one running over the Great Northern
and the other over the Northern Pa
cific. II is expected hat these trains
will carry LOO delegates, and this
number will he augmented by several
hundred others who will come from
trains.
Sunday school work is better sys-
tematizcd today than ever before.
More vigor is being put into Ii, ond
made to make the Sunday school a
strong and useful factor in the life of
the community. There is need for the
broadening and Strengthening of the
work, for it can be made. and is a
wonderfully effective force for good.
The committees that have had
charge of the work have labored dill
gently to make arrangements for this
great convention. They believe that
they have a program which will be
highly interesting and profitable.
Speakers from a distance who are en-
perts in Sunday school work will he
present. and those who attend may
depend on a series of meetings full of
enthusiasm and inspiration.
