ELIZABETH CLARK
HAD A BIRTHDAY

Elizabeth Clark on Friday passed an
other milestone in her career. and to
make the day one she might well re-
member, entertained in the evening a
few friends at the home of her parents,
corner of Twelfth avenue and Front
street. 1t was a jolly bunch and they
all had good time. It was case of
entertaining each other, and the way
they did it was caution. They were
all good singers and when it comes 10
playing "tit," they were all ION the
job with both feet" AS a fitting con.
clusion to the happy occasion a de-
lightful luncheon was served, after
which the guests departed for their
respective homes and genial Robin
Jaberg went back to Sanborn.

special emergency clause can be ap-
piled to get around the referendum.

special emergency clause can be ap-
piled to get around the referendum.
The politicians, however, who are
attempting to put someone in a hole
are deceiving no one. If the tax pay
ers can get off with the cost of only
an extra session. they will be fortu-
nate. The last legislature cost about
$1,000 day and it is reasonable to
suppose that an extra session would
cost about the same.
Should it be deemed necessary to
hold special election rather than
wait until the general election Of 1916
there would be an additional expense.
In any event, if there is neither a
special session nor special election,
the cost of placing these IA laws be-
fore the people will be considerable
1t cost some $4,000 to publish the con-
stitutional amendments voted upon at
the recent election. 1t will cost much
more to publish the IA laws, if the
petitioners are successful, so in any
event the tax payers of the state will
have to pay the freight.
Governor Hanna would be absolved
from all criticism for mourning ex-
pense if he called an extra session
and special election were ordered.
In recent Oregon supreme court de-
cision the court gives this interesting
opinion on the point:
"The argument about the expense
to the taxpayers is political and would
be very properly addressed to the leg
islature, or to those who might be in
clined to become petitioners to invoke
the referendum. The people by their
constitution have put it into the power
of five per cent of the legal voters to
bring about such expenditures, and the
people must bear the burden until
they change the law"
This puts the correct construction
upon the whole affair. The men who
circulate the petitions and those who
sign them are directly responsible for
what will ensue, and no one else.

n. D. ENFORCEMENT LEAGUE
NEEDS 10000 MEMBERS

In my first letter the question was
asked whether the North Dakota en-
forcement league ought not to have
10000 members enrolled and if the
time was not ripe to begin such enroll
ment to begin. There is need for
just such force for defensive and
offensive work. While the state as to
law enforcement and sentiment for
prohibition is far better than ever be-
fore and the tremendous success of
the cause of prohibition everywhere in
the nation and world is a defense to
North Dakota which lessons the likeli-
hood of any successful move for re-
submission, yet have seen and heard
things lately which means that we
will likely have to face re-submission
at the 1916 election.
Petitions are out now to referend and
hold up. the bootlegging law. l have
heard that there is an intent to initiate
re-submission to be voted on at the
next election and the enjoining of the
railroads from carrying illegal liquors
will tend to the determination to do
so.
Prohibition is not likely to be over
turned in North Dakota, but if re-sub-
mission is initiated or referendums
started to break down the law, we will
have to fight the movement.
The league should have a member
ship of 10000, more than one-half of
which shall be voters, not pledged in
any way to any control by the league,
but pledged to stand for moral issues
and best candidates rather than party.
A non-partisan ballot that stands for
men rather than party is the safeguard
of the state and nation. Such a body
of men in North Dakota united in
purpose and branching into every To-
cality will insure better officials to en-
force law, influence legislation for
good and be ready to meet any move
of the liquor forces from within or
without. The North Dakota enforce
ment league is now beginning just
a movement. ...,.. t..

DEVILS LAKERS
SHOW ENTHUSIASM
Especial to Times-RecOrd.)


Devils Lake, April 3O.-A capacity
house on Thursday evening repeatedly
encored the Normalonians, who ap
peared under the auspices of the
Devils Lake alumni of the Valley City
Normal. The attendance was abund-
ant proof of the loyalty and hustling
ability of these same alumni and VAL
ley City is indebted to them for ad-
vertising whose salue cannot be esti-
mated.
Those who have followed the work
of the organization this spring are con-
fident that they eclipsed all former
records for fine work, which gives
promise of some of the best music
ever heard in Valley City at the con-
cert at home Monday evening. The
soloists were at their best and the
ladies' orchestra and the quartet
again made the hits of the evening.
When the Loyalty Song was sung
the alumni stod in a body and en-
thusiasm broke all bounds. This, with
the repeated encores, attested the ap-
probation of the large audience.
This morning the Normalonians are
to be taken on a sightseeing trip to
the lake from which the city takes its
name. Devils Lake, in the Sioux Ian
guage spirit Water" is large body
of salt water, the only salt lake in
the country beside Great Salt Lake. 1t
is drying up, which is attested by its
sadness and the further fact that
whereas years ago it reached to the
city, where boats locked near the
Great Northern depot, it now lies
about five miles from the city. 1t is
reached by motor line, the old line
that years ago connected Minneapolis
with Lake Minnetonka. The cars are
about half the size of the ordinary
street car and little hard-coal engine
puffs fussily back and forth.
Out at the lake are splendid Chau-
tauqua grounds and many residents OF
the city make their summer home
home among the great trees which
shade the park site.
After this sightseeing trip the par
ty leaves for Aneta, where the last
concert If tho trim will no pivon Er;
lay night.
