H FRANK CASE,

That Franks case; went to the SILL
preme court upon a legal bubble and
not upon its merits is additional
evidence that the law works in a mys.
terious way it's wonders to perform.
Frank may be entitled to a new trial
upon the insuficiency of the evidence
submitted. Several appeals we're de.
MED upon the merits of the issue, but
that an appeal was so easily secured
to the United States supreme court
upon a technicality is a doubtful COM
meatary upon our criminal procedure.
It is to be hoped that the Frank
case will be viewed from every angle
now that it is finally before the high
est tribunal of the nation.
After that there is only one avenue
Of escape from death open to Frank,
and that is pardon or communication Of
sentence by state authorities.

"The Nebraska farmers have a way

All the organized farmers interest OF

Nebraska Farmers Congress, which

the crystalized thought of the con-

FIGURING OUT
farm PROFIT
Large Money Income Is Not Nee
essary to a Farmers Pros
Is. perity. ~

washington, d. c., Jan. 2.-Exten-
sive Investigations into the profits of
farming have indicated that the
amount Of money which the average
farmer receives for his years work
is little more than that which he would
be paid if he hired himself out as a
farm hand to n of his neighbors.
In other words, though the farmer is
in business for himself, the average
farmer gets little or no money reward
for the intelligence and skill with
which he has managed his affairs or
the risk and responsibility he has as.
sumed. But he must get something in
return or no one would. trouble to
farm for himself. Arecent study con-
Quoted by experts in the United States
department of agriculture shows that
many cases this reward may best be
found in the products with which his
farm furnishes him directly. When
a farm is nearly, il not quite, self.sus-
tanning, say agricultural experts, when
it supplies the family that lives upon
it with most of the necessities of life,
a large money income is not necessary
to prosperity. A5greater sum derived
from a farm which yields nothing for
home consumption map leave the oc-
cupants much worse off,.
Under the title of Farmers Bulletin
635, what the Farm Contributes to
the Farmers Lfvirgs.sthe department
of agriculture is about to publish the
results of a survey Of conditions on a
large number of farms in the ten
states of North Carolina, Georgia,
Texas, Kansas, Iowa; Wisconsin, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, New York, and Yer
mont. The farms selected for study
though possibly a little more prosper
GUS than the average, were fairly rep
r%esentative of their sections which,
it will be noted, included three corn
and cotton areas, two states in the
corn and wheat belt, two regions
where general farming was carried on,
and thres different dairy districts.
The average value OF the chief neces-
stiles of life--food, fuel, oil, and shell
ter-used each year by the farm fam.
lip the Investigators found to be $3.50.
Of these necessities, estimated in
money, the portion contributed dir
ectly by the farm was $421 II, leaving
1891 to be purchased with the cash
obtained from the sale Of products.
In considering these figures it must
be remembered that II the farmer had
been compelled to pay city prices
for his home grown necessities, this
$421.17 would have represented much
less comfort.

made, his statement would make good
reading and he news" In it's present
form it's an old story with the tax
payers.
At a time like the present, when
commercial conditions are unsettled,
the solution of the states financial
troubles does not lie in increased val
nations and wide open tax amend
ment.

BLUE MONDAY r

Blue Monday, not Black Friday, is
the day all should fear, according tC
the Ohio Industrial Commission. Sta
Statistics compiled by that organiza'
ton show that more accidents happen
on Monday than Friday and this, too,
in face of the fact that fewer per
sons work upon that day.
1t is an accepted fact among those
acquainted with conditions in manu-
featuring plants that less is accom-
plished on Monday than on other days
in the week. .
This may be due to the celebrations
incident to Sunday, especially where
there is no Sabbath lid.

STATES DUTY A

0uVu6 0OuV
If there is going to be any increase
in u educational expenditures it
should be to improve the rural
schools. More than eighty per cent
of the population is rural. Statistics
show that after the fifth grade thous.
ands of u boys living on the prairies
leave school either because education.
al facilities are not what they should
be or because courses offered do not
attract OF hold them.
The consolidated rural school Is the
solution of the problem in North Da-
kota, as in other states. This move
ment, already we'll under way, should
be fostered and aided to a greater ex-
tent by the legislature.
Too much money is being spent up
on the higher institutions in proper
ton to expenditures for the common
schools. The glamor, the influence
and a prestige of better organization
have made it possible for the so-called
higher institutions of learning to i'm.
press their needs upon the legislators.
Concentrate, consolidate and co-or.
dinate our state educational institu-
tons and it will be found that present
expenditures are sufficient if not more
than enough to run the institutions.

Paris, Jan. 2.-How the heroic self
sacrifice of six French ~bluejackets
made y possible the capture Of st.

Newport, is described by the Mathis

says:

Six bluejackets then hcisted a
three-inch gun on a large punt and
poled along the canal behind the vii
lage, running the gauntlet Of the Ger
man rifles. As one was hit another
took the pole and continued until he
in turn fell stricken. The sixth man
was mortally wounded as with a last
push he sent the punt to the bank
where the French advance guard was
waiting. ia.
"The gun was quickly landed and
d few shots at 500 yards brought the
houses entop of the Germans, who

WELCOME TO THE LEGISLATURE

Bismarck is proud of being host to
the members of the Fourteenth Legis-
lative Assembly. This city has no
axes to grind. All the Slope country
asks is a square deal. SectiOnalism,
of course, is the bane of modern poll
tics. 1t becomes necessary at times
for the Slope and the northwestern
part of the state to unite against intlu-
ences which would override our share
of the honors and expenditures. .
1t is to be hoped, however, that this
legislature will be free from faction
alism; free from the alignment of one
section of the state against the other.
We are all North Dakotans first and
want to see the state grow and pros.
per, not at the expense of any section,
but for the benefit of every locality.
The speakership fight Is being wag-
ed now and the members in the heat
Of the fight should not lose sight of
the fact that harmony in the house
is essential for the best interests of
the state. May the sore spots yer
the speakership and the distribution
of spoils heal quickly and when the
gavel falls next Tuesday, may it be
upon a united and harmonious House,
ready to give the state the best posi-
BILE service. ct
Bismarck welcomes the legislators
to the city. 1t wants to make their
stay q pleasant one.

LIQUOR QUESTION
NO STATE issue
So Says Former Governor of Kan
sas in Talk Before Pro
hibitionists.

Topeka, Kan, Jan. 1.-"If the liquor
traffic is a state and not a national
issue why does the government i'm
pose a heavy tax on 1t and grant a
license to people to engage in the bus
iness"
That was the question John p. St.
John, the first prohibition governor
of Kansas, put to the national con-
bition association here Thursday.
IF it is purely a state matter why
does a government official carry the
keys to the distillery?" continued the
former governor. The contention
that the liquor question is purely a
state issue has no foundation in his
tory, justice or common sense.
II will tell you what will be a state
issue in the 1916 campaign. 1t will
be the election Of congressman. And
the members who voted for the sa-
loon interests and against the HObson
bill will be elected to stay at home
and feel ashamed of themselves.
"A prohibitOry amendment will be
adopted by congress not later than
1917 and three-fourths of the states
will have ratified it not later than
1920. And five years thereafter the
liquor politicians and the liquor press
will be ready to swear that they were
always for prohibition.
"Prohibitionists are not caring so
much about party as they do about
prohibition. They are willing to ac-
cept prohibition, come from whatever
source it may. provided it is sincere
and genuine. We know that the time
will come when no political party can
live unless it stands for prohibition"
Mr.. St. John reviewed the history
Of prohibition in Kansas and told of
the effect it had on the state and IFS
business and institutions.
"Thirty.four years ago the sale and
manufacture of liquor in Kansas was
stopped" he said, and what is the
result? Kansas is only So years old,
vat she has more miles of railroad
than any other state or territory Of
equal population on the face Of the
globe. Her per capita wealth Is great
err than any other state in the Union.
