CLYDE FARMER IS
INJURED BY WAGON.

Langdon, N. D., Oct 3d. Frank
Hanggi, whose farm lies northeast Of
Clyde, received severe injuries while
hauling load of grain from his place
to that town, the accident occurring
when he passed an auto which he met
on the road about four miles from
Clyde. At that point there is quite a
grade and the horses, becoming fright
ened, backed the wagon into the ditch,
throwing Hanggi from the top of the
load, one of the wheels of the wagon
passing over his chest. The unfor-
/ tunate man was picked up by the party
in the auto and taken back over the
road to his home with as much haste
as the condition of the suffering man
would allow. A telephone call brought
Dr. Porter from Calvin, who found Mr..
Hanggi suffering from severe injuries
about the chest, with the fracture of
several ribs, as well as a number of
bruises to the upper part of the body.

Famous Arguments Answered

Famous Arguments Answered
Two Of the most common arguments
against prohibition which we have to
contend with are the following: PRO
hibition does not prohibit" and Fed
eral prohibition is against the estab-
lished doctrine of states rights" In
order to successfully cope with our
opponents, it is well to be prepared
with facts which contradict their
strongest contentious.
Prohibition does not prohibit?"
Well, let us consider the following rec
ords: The United States Brewers
Association, in it's year book for 1912
gives the following startling figures:
The license states consume 1884 gal
Ions per capita, annually. The local
option states consume 4.43 gallons per
capita, annually. The prohibition states
consume.62 gallons per capita, annual
ly. According, then, to the brewers
own figures, prohibition does prohibit
at the rate of Is gallons per capita.
This general statement covers the en-
tire union. Individual adjacent states
sometimes show even a greater diff
ference. During 1914 the average con-
sumtion of alcoholic beverages in Kan
sas amounted to less than $1.45 per
capita; that in Missouri, although
half Of the population live under local
option laws, was $24 per capita In
other words, figures prove that pro-
hibition prohibits to the extent Of $751;.
100000 annually in Kansas as com
pared with the consumption by the
same number of people, during the
same period Of time, who live in Mis-.
souri,. 1t is $81,000,0O0 less than the
same number OF New York citizens
use in the same length of time, for
the New Workers use $50 per capita
worth of liquor year, or IS times as
much as q Kansan uses. Records
from Minnesota and North Dakota, for
the year 1913 show per capita con.
sumption Of alcoholic liquors amount-
ing to SO gallons in Minnesota with
but one and three-fourths gallons for
North Dakota. 1t would seem un.
necessary to ask for further proof.
Regarding the statement that Fed.
eral prohibition Is against the estab.
lished doctrine Of states rights"

Peace Rumors Again Filling the,An With
Germany Making 0vertmes to Russians


impending peace in Europe again fill
the air. This time the reports have
been received with slightly more ere
dence in diplomatic circles here, where
there is a general expectancy of de-
cisive developments in the Balkans be-
fore snow falls. The report that has
been received from abroad by more
than one embassy here that Emperor
William of Germany within the last
week has renewed his overtures to
Russia for the separate peace. Ac
cording to this story, he has promised
the car the possession of Constan
tinople as a reward for deserving the
Quadruple Entente.
Further reports are to the effect
that Germany is willing to re]inQuish
all the Russian territory it now holds
with the exception of Poland which
Berlin plans to constitute an indie
pendent kingdom and would have
Austria-Hungary present Russia with
a portion of Galicia inhabitated main.
ly by Slavs. That the kaiser has been
endeavoring for some time to detach
Russia from it's allies is we'll known
here. In German official circles it
Is admitted that this is the keynote of
the kaiser's military policy.
1t was only last summer that Ger
man proposals for separate peace
were submitted to Petrograd through
the medium of the king of Denmark.
Russia rejected the German proposal
although it was coupled with offers of
rewards fully as tempting as those
now reported to have been held out to
the car. German officials now say
that the progress of the Teutonic ar
mics in the Balkans and the failure of
Greece and Rumania to join the allies
are likely to cause more careful re.
consideration of Berlin's offer by Pc
trograd. The ability of the kaiser to
deliver Constantinople to Russia is
secuted by many diplomats even of
neutral nations. In German quarters,
however, it is asserted that Turkey
is more than willing to relinQuish
Constantinople in the expectation of
regaining control of Egypt and receiv.
ing other substantial rewards from an
organdized German empire.
Germany, it is stated, will never
abandon the hope of detaching Russia
so long as the war continues. With
Russia out of the way, Austria would
be depended upon to hold the Italians
in check, while Germany would un-
dertake a new offensive on a gigantic
scale against France and Great Bri-
tain and the Bulgarians and Turks
would be turned loose upon Egypt.
This German dream of accomplish.
ment has not been taken seriously in
diplomatic circles here and would be
classed as idle rumor even now were
1t not for the receipt of surprising in
formation from British sources. 1t
is reported that the chief fear of
the British government today is that
the German attempts to detach Rus
STA is succeeding. In the light of this
information unusual significance at
taches to the reports of internal dis
turbances in Russia, and of Russian
complaint that the Moscovite empire
has been sacrificed to the inactivity of
the French and British on the western
front That there is an estrange-
ment between Russia and it's allies is
now admitted.

Expert Opinion On
Medical Temperance

"The alcoholic always does badly
under surgery. In the first place II
takes great deal more anesthetic tc
get him ready for the operation, and
that adds to his risk. In the second
place, he Is more likely to have dis
eased kidneys and liver, and that adds
yet more to his risk, and thirdly, the
risk of insanity and of pneumonia after
an operation is greater. The absti'
nent man and woman stand operations
best. DIR. Howard A. Kelly, of the

Beer brings about a more rapid de

drinker has an abundance of flesh, but
it is of an inferior quality. He dies al

he should be at his best.
"The beer drinker is recognized as

Beer is not consumed because it il

3 Beer is a stimulant, not a food.
Whatever variable amount of nutri-
tive element it may contain is so
small as to be negligible in comparison
with it's alcoholic content. I have
long had the conviction that alcoholic
drinks of all kinds should be classed
with the poisons. Certainly they serve
no purpose in medicine which is not
better served by other less dangerous
remidies. DR.. A. B. Cooke, Los An

ARE WE NEUTRAL?

We read with a good deal Of inter.
est an account of an interview be-
tween former Senator Beveridge and
the Kaiser Of Germany, with whom he
spent two hours in January. Beveridge
also interviewed Grand Admiral Won
Tirpitz, who is at the head of the
German navy, and Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg, who is in charge of the
army. Naturally, they claim that
Germany is going to win the war and
say that the report that that country
is short Of ammunition is false. They
do not believe that America is doing
exactly the right thing in shipping
ammunition to the warning countries,
inasmuch as this has a tendency to
prolong the war.
eff one warning country can get
goods into port and another cannot,
has a neutral nation violated neutrali-
ty by the course?" Beveridge asked.
"Technically, no; morally, yes. We
think that this is not what you call a
square DEAL" replied Admiral Won
Trpitz. Of course, there are two
sides to the question, but it has occur
red to US that it is bad practice for
one country to furnish any other coun-
try with weapons or ammunition to
destroy the lives of poor human be-
ings.

A few months ago, "snow" fiends
were quite numerous in this city, but
most Of these unfortunates are either
taking the cure at the asylum or have
left the city. At one time it is esti-
mated that there were no less than a
hundred vicims Of cocaine, morphine
heroin and the kindred drugs in Minot
including both men and women. Not
long ago, the police started making
wholesale arrests and the victims were
threatened with being sent to the in
sane asylum. In fact, one or two of
the worst were sent to Jamestown
where they are receiving treatment. II
is said that it requires year or more
, to become entirely cured and during
the process, the patient is given dope
but the dope is given in less quantities
each succeeding day. Since the fed.
eral law went into effect March 1
which makes it almost impossible to
get drugs anywhere in the United
States, many of the victims are in a
sad plight. Their supply has run out
they cannot buy, beg nor steal any
more and scores in the large cities are
applying for admission to hospitals
that they may receive the cure. With
in a year or two, this habit should be
wiped out entirely thruout the United
States,

We have always been led to believe
that we elect men to public office to
perform certain specific duties. They
are our paid servants and they are
not expected to spend their time doing

which cannot help but detract from

County Superintendent Wendt is de-
termined that the compulsory educa-
ton law shall be enforced to the very
letter. All able bodied boys and girls
between the ages of eight and fifteen
years must attend school each day un-
less there are cases where they are
the sole support Of their parents. Sew
eral parents have been notified recent
ly that unless their children are sent
to school, they may expect to be pros
ecuted. It is quite a temptation for
a farmer to take his boy out of school,
considering that the little fellow can
take mans place on a pillow, but the
law says that this shall not be done.

The Independent learns that there is
some likelihood of the referendum be-
ing applied to several Of the laws
which were passed by the Legislature.
According to the initiative and refer
endum measure which is now in ef-
feet. any act of the legislature can be
nulliied upon petition Of sufficient
number of the voters. Most anybody
will sign a petition for most anything
when approached by the right person
in the right way at the right time. We
honestly believe that we could go out
tomorrow and get a hundred sigma
lures to petition providing for the
hanging Of the mayor of Timbuctoo.
We have been informed that petitions
are being circulated relative to teh i'm
migration bill passed by the last legis-
lature and some other measures may be
included. Of course if this is the case,
it is certain to be literally signed. If
the referendum is worked overtime,
one could hardly blame the governor
should he see fit to call an extra SEES
sion of the legislature. We hardly
believe that this will become neces-
sary. One should use extreme care in
signing petitions of any kind. Should
any of these reach you, consider the
motive behind them, before affixing
your signature. We may not agree
with everything that the legislature
did, but the body consisted Of men sent
there to represent US, and we are sat
isfed to live under the conditions inn
posed until the matters can be consid-
cred by another legislative body.

Our great men should be exceeding
ly careful in the statements they make
and closer Interpretation of those
statements should be made by our
readers. A short time ago, James J.
Hill remarked that at the close Of the
war, wheat will drop to 70 cents a
bushel. A farmer visited local bank
the other day and said he was not 60
ing to SOW a bushel of wheat because
Hill said the price was going to drop
to 70 cents. After Hills statement
was analysed, the farmer agreed that
he thot he'd better sow some wheat
after all, for it is generally conceded
that the price next fall cannot be less
than a dollar bushel.
