Congress has developed another unconscious
hunorist. While glancing over the Statesmen's
Year Book the honorable Senator Randsdell from
Louisiana chanced to hit on the divorce statistics.
To his horror he there learned at last census tax
ing there were sc divorces for every 100000
population. Comparing this with the records of
a generation ago, he found that we now unite
seven times as many nuptial knots as then. The
Senator leaped to his feet: This is awful" he
cried; "Oh my fellow lawmakers, let us at once
pass constitutional amendment making divorce
impossible. You say this is piece of radical
inconoclasm? Not 1t is true conservatism
We should but follow in the beaten path of Spain
and South Carolina"
We suppose Senator Ransdell's heart must
have palpitated with noble pride after unburden-
ing himself of this masterpiece and especially
after holding up for their commendation two
such wonderfully progressive commonwealth as
Spain and South Carolina! The next thing we

Bckford Must
Go To The Pen
Charges Of Embezzlsment Were
Made Against Him Three
Years Ago

The supreme court handed
down decision this week in the
Bckford case that will compel
flam to serve not less than one
year nor more than three in the
state penitentiary.
When Gunder Olson took the
office of state treasurer the rec
ords turned over to him by Bick-
ford, the former treasurer, were
not satisfactory and he asked
that an investigation be made.
The results were that on January
l1th, 1911, G. L. Bickford was
arrested. When his case came up
for trial change of venue was
asked and his case was then
tried at Washburn in June 1911.
He was found guilty here but was
given a new trial. This has been
one of the longest drawn out
criminal cases that has ever been
tried in the courts Of North Da-
kota.
He has no other chance now
OF getting around the law and
will have to serve his sentence.
In the original charge Bick-
ford was charged with having
embezzled 100000 of the money
of the state The entire sum
had been replaced with the ex-
ception of the interest on small
amount, found to be about $65.
The sentence was from one to
three years and $4,000 fine, the
fine was to cover twice of the
amount embezzled and the costs
Of the case. The supreme court
reaafirmed the term of sentence
but reversed it as to the fine.

reached there. Graham, Aune,
the Benton engineer, and another
man on the boat made a des-
perate effort to get to Mr.. Weber
but the waves were so high they
could not see him all the time
and when within a few hundred
feet Mr.. Weber disappeared. Miss
Sadie Chesworth saw the acci-
dent and telephoned up town at
once for help. Those who ran
down saw the drowning man but
were powerless to do anything.
Frank McGuire, the ferryman,
also saw the man in the water.
He was on the ferry on the other
side of. the river and jumped IN
to a row boat at once but could
not row against the waves and
had to give it up.
Mr.. Weberis cries could be
heard all over town and the

stay above water for over ten
minutes seems terrible. Either
the little platform in has boat
