ALLEGE STATE IS
MAD WITH REFORM
PERSONAL LIBERTY MOVEMENT
GAINING, SAYS REPORT
FROM FARGO.
TOO MANY PRoHIBIToRY LAWS
Foreign.Born Residents Of North Da
kota Complain Of Too Much
Legislation and Campaign
will Feel Move.

Fargo.-The personal liberty move
ment in North Dakota is gaining
many recruits. Started originally by
Germans in protest against the rigid
prohibition laws of the state, it is
drawing membership from all nation.
alitles and sources.
The contention Is that there is too
much paternalism in the state govern.
ment; that the state Is delving too
deeply into the private affairs of the
individual, and in many instances in
matters in which the regulation
should be solely by the man and not
by the state.
The Prohibitory Laws.
In addition to the laws prohibiting
the sale of whisky, beer, wines, malts
and ciders recent enactments make it
Illegal to sell snuff or any of it's sub.
stitutes. Cigarets or "makins are
barred from sale, and many foreign.
born residents of the state resent the
rigid laws.
The pure food laws, the automobile
regulations, and dozens of other
measures, climaxing with the mar.
riage law, which throws so many re.
strictions around the wedding cere.
mony, all combine to create recruits
for the movement.
Mad With Reform.
The men behind the cause say that
North Dakota has gone mad with re-
form; that few agitators have been
able to make so much noise that mem
bers of the legislature and other Off
cials have been whipped into line, mis-
taking the shouts of the reformers fol
real public opinion.
The movement is becoming so state
wide that it may be factor in the
campaign next year, especially in the
selection of legislative material and
candidates for governor. The plan is
to repeal some of the present laws, not
to run to wideopenness, but to return
to saner and less rabid measures.

From the speculative standpoint
wheat appears to have discounted in

to a sound commercial basis. The
country has, undoubtedly. produced
a large crop, which is the cause for
much b~earishness, but the liberal alb

COMMUNICATION
Editor Tribune:

TIuAlOT IIUuIIC. eF a aH,
An item which appeared in the
Tribune of August l, under the head
ing Hospital Notes." was inserted
am sure, inadvertently, and mas
much as 1t gives a misleading impress
sion as to the extent Of the service
being rendered by the hospital,
wish to submit SOME facts and fig
nres from the Hospital Report for
the year ending May 81, 1919, now in
course Of preparation.
1860 patients we're treated during
the year, 405 of these being out pa
tents. Only IFS were admitted from
Bismarck and vicinity, with Bismarck
as their p%0st0fice.
The members of the Evangelical
church of North and South Dakota
have in Bismarck a 100000 institu-
ton, for which they carry a large
debt and must raise annually $4,000
to $4,000 dollars for interest. This
institution employs 60 men and wo-
men. Its training school is at pres
ent educating q young women OF all
denominations for nurses. Twenty
n nurses have been graduated to
date. The training school is recog-
nized by the state university as the
first in the state. Ioi,n AMI,
We are at present trying at0, raise
funds to build a home for our, nurses,
since our present building is overtax-
ed in caring for the patients and at
the same time finding room enough
to house our nurses with any degree
of comfort. Many of our friends have
already given their pledges to help
in this worthy cause.
We admitted 131 patients during
the month of July and IN the morn
ing of the news article in question
we were obliged to place patients in
the chapel and in the superintendent
of nurses room to meet the overflow.
We feel sure that the Tribune is
friendly to the enterprises and insti-
tutions of the city, and that it would
not Intentionally publish. any state
ment which would mislead Yg0pr
friends through the state as atOa the
extent Of the service being rendered
by the hospital. And inasmuch as we
are at this time soliciting subscrip-
tons for the Nurses Home, we feel
that the Tribune will set us in the
right light before the people of the
city and the state by publishing the
facts and figures given above.
Certainly, an institution employing
SO people and using coal, water, ice,
food and the other necessaries Of in
stitution life, for the comfort OF an
additional so people, or more, is a
good business asset and appreciated
by the Tribune as such. 1t is an in
stitution worthy of encouragement.
It brings many people to the city, the
friends and relatives of the patients
treated, and its growth and enlarge.
ment is a matter of Importance, not
only to US, but to the city.
Thankong you for the courtesy Of a
hearing In this matter, a

NORTH DAkOTA's CHANGING
FARM METHODS.

Jamestown Alert: North Dakota is
making great strides in the raising
of cattle and hogs, corn and alfalfa.
The last three crops are comparative
" new to this state. Cattle growing
on the old ranch system has about
disappeared, an da new plan will take
it's place. Small herds of cows will
be MIXED for cream and butter, with
the %by-products for pigs will take the
place of the old ranch system where
the cattle were raised for beef alone.
Alfalfa is also a new plan crop
| which is excellent to restore worn
out land. In 1909 there were only
5000 acres of alfalfa in North Da.
kota; in 1912 there were over 5000
acres, and in 1913 there are proba.
bly, 10000 acres. This crop yields
SO much hay that it is we'll worth the
attention of every farmer, and an
effort to get at least a small acreage
growing or his land. Within five
years the increase of alfalfa will be
surprising. There are probably 400.
