GOOD. ROADS A NECESSITY,

Good roads are necessary for the
development Of any county. The ef-
forts Of the Bismarck Automobile
club to create an interest in the good
roads movement should be supported,
as it waxa- ~ A"asS turn Of the road.
Thosc 'wko own automobiles in the
city ought to attend the next meet
ing. and lend all possible support
and assistance. 1t is a curious stu.
alton that most of the interest in the
proposition is coming from people re-
siding in the county outside of Bis.

Al WAR WITH MEXICO.

At WAR WITH MEXICO. 4
Huerta is at war with United
States.
Vera Cruz under a shower Of shot
vas taken last evening with a loss of
four American soldiers and 20 wound
ed. .sEt~- .-...
Just how far the United States is
going has not been determined.
Mexican resistance to the occupation
Of Vera Cruz was not anticipated.
With all the stealth and cunning of
the race they offered no resistance at
the waters edge, but delayed their
fire until the troops had landed.
Reports are conflicting as to
what the rebels will do. A dispatch
from Arizona says the Constitutional
lists are holding members of a
Ulited States cavalry troop. If Huer-
Ia and Villas forces unite against
us, United States is IN for a weary
Seige that may cause a sacrifice of
many American lives.
By resisting Our invasion the de-
facto government of Mexico has de.
clared war upon United States.
There has been no formal declara-
tiOn, but shOrn of diplomatic verdi.
age, Huerta is at war with US just
the same.

10 Editor of The Tribune:
Dear Sir-ln your issue of April
18th appeared an article reporting
,afmeeting of some parties wac are in
North Dakota campaigning against
giving the franchise to women in
North Dakota. This article fails to
state any local Organization or local
person under whose auspices these
parties come. l am not aware of any
organization or political party or
faction of any party that Is opposias
W0man's Suffrage except the Ger.
maa-American Alliance, which Is re.
ported to be in league with outside
brewery interests, was the only or
g%anization of North Dakota that cp-
posed the Webb bill, is the only or
ganized body of people that advocate
resubmission of the prohibition ques'
tioa and (he localities where the
organization exists constitute the
most lawless territory of North Da.
kota So far as the enforcement of the
prohibition law is concerned.
1t seems incredible that some lad
les down in Boston and Ohio are SO
Interested as to send speakers to
North Dakota to oppose our wives,
sisters, and sweethearts in their right
to the ballot, especially. SO unless
there. is some local organization who
have invited them. There may be such
local organization but | have eel no
announcement CT such. | am wonder
ing whether it is the German-Amer-
.ical, Alliance il the state or the liquor
interests from outside the state, or
some. other local society. The all.
,tagonism of the liqtor interests to
Womal's Suffrage is SO well known
and their methods I'D undetermined
that our suspicious are aroused. We
do. not deny the liquor interests, the
Boston ladies or anyone else the
right to work fer their ideas but we
are interested in the local auspices
and it is only fair that such auspices
be %anur:nCcI. '.

c~ialists ase for womal's suffrage, it
is not in my opinion a discredit to
socialism. Ii fact, l am not aware
# any. olsanized effort against WON

from liquor interests.
I do aot believe that this effort to
ally our ,Nortl. Dakota woman's SUI
frage movement with New York sa-
loon anarchism. will take very we'll
with North Dakota voters unless it
appeals to the stomach OF the;German
American Alliance, The reports ars
coming to our office that the German
women want the ballot in order to
protect their home sfrom blind pigs
and gamblers, and that a large 1um.
Der OF the more thoughtful Ger
mans are in favor of the prohibition
law and the enforcement Of all the
laws and that the Germans are not
aunt against Woman's Suffrage. To
