n CASE,

For the first time in the history
of North Dakota a case is being tried
in district court wherein it is charged
that there had been an attempt to
bride members Of the legislature for
the purpose of defeating an important
measure.
The unfortunate affair emanated
from the last session Of the last ses-
sion Of the legislature and as a result
the party charged with the offensc
was tried before the Jar of the house
and was pronounced guilty b, that
branch Of the assembly. After the
party found guilty had served a short
sentence in the county Jail, imposed
by the judgment of the house, a coun-
ty charge was placed against him and
the case has just reached the trial
court.
That this affair has occurred is, in.
deed, an unfortunate thing for the
state, and Is certainly a blot upon the
legislative history of North Dakota.
The case in district court has proceed.
ed far enough in the court to permit
the two members of the legislature
who claim to have been approached
with an offer for a bride to tell their
story on the witness stand, and the
ttlented counsel engaged both for the
state and for the defense will bring
out every little detail Of the case be.

verdict. ~ .... ea

legislature with an offer of a bride,

what besmirched and the integrity OF
those two members was attacked, but
it appeared from the testimony of the
two witnesses yesterday that if they
had been approached they let the af-
fair 60 too far without offering a Grim
inal complaint before the bar of the
house. TO a disinterested party hear
ing the case reviewed from an un-
%prejiduced standpoint, it appears that
the two members in question should
have made known their complaint
when they were first approached.
From the testimony there are those
who pass the opinion that possibly
the two members might have been
looking for an opportunity to receive
some monetary recognition for their
services in the interest of certain leg
islation, and then there are those who
express the opinion that possibly
these two members were sincerely
making an attempt to trap someone in
the act Of bribery, and really intend
ed to make a. example of them.

THE KENYON BILLS VICTORY

The passage of the Kenyon bill by the house
of representatives yesterday is victory over
which the friends of temperance may we'll feel
encouraged. AS already stated in these columns,
the Kenyon bill is aimed to prevent the shipment
of liquor from 'wet" into 'dry'' states, which
obviously cOunteraCts all the efforts of officials
of the dry states to enforce their prohibition reg
ulaticns. The bill stands on the broad policy
that as soon as liquor is shipped into any state
it becomes subject to the local laws Of that state.
AS related in the dispatch from Washington
yesterday the bills to this effect have been be-
fore Congress for more than twenty years. The
Kenyon bill was buried in a senate committee
for over year. There was never any question
that if the bill could be brought to a vote it
would pass for few congressman dared vote
against it.
Many congressman however, did not wish to
antagonize the powerful liquor interests which
have been lobbying against the bill with a per-
sistence and rcSOurccfulncSS worthy of a better
cause As soon as the bill was forced out of
committee and came to a vote, the Wavcring con-
greSsmen dared not 90 on record as opposing it,
and although yesterdays vote was not given, it
is safe to say the bill had a good majority.
The measure itself is not a prohibition meas
ure Senator Kenyon has openly declared that
he has no fight to make for or against prohibit
tion He asserts only that states which have by
vote of the people gone on record for prohibition
should not have their laws set at naught by the
ability of the whisky ring to ship liquor into the
state under authority of the Interstate commerce
law. Senator kenyon declared with much JUS
tice that SO long as interstate commerce r"guIa-
tiOnS permitted such action, Cncl" Sam was al
lowing himself to he used as a partner Of the
liquor-men in violating state law

HERE IS waste

The secret of the startling successes in Big
Business is the elimination of waste, the Organi-
zation of activity.
This paper has suggestion to make to the
legislature of 1913, and that suggestion is to view
broadly the College of Hawaii, the board of ag-
rieulture and forestry, the federal experiment
station and the normal school, and see if there
is not waste, a lack of organization, that can
be eliminated.
Il Within few weeks every territorial institu-
ton will come before the legislature seeking
funds for the next two years. From every side
there will be demands of the most urgent kind.
And if the Legislature does as the previous legs-
lature- did, it will put off for two years
more the duty of thoroughly canvassing the sit
nation and evolving better plan than the ter
ritory has today.
The board of education has found need for
two new schools of which mention will be here
made,--a school near the present Normal build
ing, and school in Manoa valley The Normal
school has outgrown it's quarters. The College
of Hawaii, splendidly located and with hand
some new building must have equipment, must
carry on many and varied activities. The board
of agriculture and forestry has undertaken i'm
portant and necessary work for public welfare;
the federal experiment station has it's own
course marked out and to a certain extent is de-
pendent ON the financial help and goodwill of
the territory.
I The StarBulletin knows by information re-
ceved direct from several of the men in charge
of these various institutions that they believe
there is a duplication of work and a spending of
money that can be eliminated. Moreover, in
most,-perhaps in all,-quarterS there is dis
position to encourage any plan that looks to-
ward better organization and higher percent
age of efficiency. For these reasons we have no
hesitation in saying that the subject is one the
legislature of 1913 cannot afford to neglect. The
rival claims for territorial funds, the elements
of competitive struggle, the overlapping of work,
constitute situation that is not guarantee of
certain progress
The Normal school has outgrown its quarters
and a new school is projected in it's vicinity. 1t
might be the beginning of solution if the pres,
