anticipating the biennial report of

lutiOns Of this sort to one of the stand

The Rott Resolution.
The body of the resolution introduc-
ed by Mr.. Rott reads as follows:
Whereas the state board of con-
troll has expended many hundreds of
thousands of dollars, the expenditure
of which has been inadequately check

Whereas, it has been currently re-
ported in the newspapers of the state,
and therewise, that certain members
of the state board of control have
been interested in contracts for fur
nishing supplies for state institutions,
and
Whereas, said board of control
has expended a large sum of money
for an architect, contrary to the pro-
visions of law, and,
Whereas, certain officials employ
ed by the state board of control have
been paid salaries in excess of those
provided BY the statute, and,
Whereas, it is commonly known
that two members of the state board
Of control have at no time resided at
the capital, and have not devoted
their entire time to the duties of their

Whereas, it is but fair to the state
board of control and the people of
North Dakota that the truth in re.

Therefore, be it resolved by the
House of Representatives, the Senate
concurring, that joint committee of
five (5), three 60 from the House and
two ca, from the Senate be appointed

and,
'Be it resolved, that sufficient sum
to carry on this investigation is here
by appropriated out of any moneys,
not otherwise appropriated in the gen.

R. |. KNOX KILLS TWO MEN

A tragedy which has shocked the en-
tire community was inaCted Wednesday
morning in the waiting room at the de-
pot in Baton Rouge when Robert l..
Knox without a word of warning or
provocatiOn shot and instantly killed
two men awaiting at the ticket window
to purchase tickets. The men killed
were Alex. Franklin, an aged patient
who was being carried to the Charity
Hospital and Benjamin Foster promi-
nent real estate man of HattieSburg,
Miss.
It seems that Knox entered the wait
ing room hurriedly, pushing the crowd
aside and making his way toward the
ticket window, When he entered the
room Foster was at the window buy
ing a ticket and Franklin was standing
near by. Without uttering word he
drew revolver from his pocket and
fired i've shots at the men. The two
dropped in their tracks and sWere in
stantly killed.
Knox Immediately after the tragedy
dropped his pistol and stood staring at
his victims. Without resistance he
gave himself up to the policeman on
duty at the depot.
Young Knox was we'll known in this
community. For a number of years
he was member OF one OF the most
successful law firms in Lake Charles
and enjoyed a wide and profitable prac-
tice. About two years ago he was ap-
pointed by President Wilson to the
federal position of Surveyor of the
Port at New Orleans. Soon after TAX
ing up this work it was noticed that
his mind was failing and he was placed
in a private Sanitarium where it was
hoped that a recovery would result.
He was a man of inCesSant work and it
is supposed that over work brought on
nervous break down.
Friends and relatives thought quiet
rest in the Sanitarium would result in
his restoration to health. He was plac.
ed in Washington. D. C. and only re-
turned to Baton Rouge few days ago
dnd it was not thought that he was
harmful.
He maintains stolid silence and re-
fuses to say anything at all of the
tragedy.

A Merry Crsga.aa

The Journal in keeping tn the
spirit of the occasion ana with
custom takes his opportunity Of
extsn 'iHg our good wish for a
very IT, ~" and joyous Christmas
to all our friends. That lnt&ngi-
bic, spiritual and oftan PASSIONATE
longing in the human heart that
impeIs a man to contribute some,
thing helpful from his own life to
that of his fellow has served
through the ages to MAKE this the
happiest and most joyous day OF
all the days. Perhaps ii would
be hard to find that man whose
life fails to respond with some
thrill to this impulse on Christmas
day. The spirit Of altruism is the
dominant spirit of the age, that
spirit of comradeship; that impels
me to grasp the land ofmy neigh
Dor and by some word or token
try to make him a little happier;
that spirit that weeps at the cry
of sorrow and tenderly responds
to the call of need; that spirit that
leads a man out Of self to glory
itself in service; that's the spirit
that is calling for supremacy in
the lives Of men today. It is the
noblest quality in the Christlike
man and after it is this impulse in
man that makes like really most
worth while.
Then our sermonette is this; let
us forget our grudges against oul
neighbor, our prejudices and oul
own selfish ends. Let Christmas
day atune our hearts a new and
more tremendously to the hearts
of those about US and thus garner
into our own lives a richer harvest
of JOY and gladness and sunshine

Two Golden DAYS.

There are two days of the week upon
which and about which never worry,
two care-free days kept sacredly free
from fear and apprehension.
One Of these is yesterday. Yester-
day with all it's cares and frests. with
all its pains and aches, all its faults, its
mistakes and blunders, has passed be-
yond the reach of my recall. cannot
undo an act that wrought. | cannot
unsay word that said on yesterday.
All that it holds of life, of regret and
sorrow, is in the hand of the Mighty
Love that can bring sweet waters out
of the bittereSt deSert-the love that
can make the wrong things right, that
can turn weeping into laughter, that
can give beauty for ashes, the garment
Of praise for the spirit of heaviness, 10Y
of the morning for the woe of night.
Save for the beautiful memories that
linger, sweet and tender like the per.
fume OF roses, in the heart OF the day
that is gone, have nothing to do with
yesterday.
And the other day l do not worry
ABOUT is Tomorrow. Tomorrow, with
all its possible adversities, tits burdens,
its perils its large promises and poor
performance. its failures and mistakes.
is as far beyond the reach of my mas
terry as its dead sister-yesterday. Its
sun will rise in roSeate Splendor, or be-
yond mass of weeping clouds. But it
will rise. Until then the same love and
patience that held yesterday, and holds
tomorrow, shines with tender promise
into the hearty of today. have no
possession in that UNBORN day of grace.
ALI else is in the infinite keeping Of that
infinite love that holds for me the trea-
sure OF yesterday, the love that is high.

There is left for myself, then, but one
day Of the week To-day. ANY man can
fight the battles of today. Any woman
can carry the burdens of just one day

The Harvest I ellis.

The farmer who has hada little
wider conception of farming
than, a single crop idea is now
enjoying some of Nhe results OF
his work. The settling up time OF
the year is the season that tests
the propositions. The farmer
that has his hogs, chickens, po-
tatoes and corn and then some
rice as a rule can show the largest
profits from his years business.
The coming year should be a year
of marked progress in diversified
tionin this section and we would
like to see the farmer of Jefferson
Davis Parish set the dominant
example in this advanced idea in
farming.

How much longer will you stand aside

Stop making excuses and delaying!

action. They used their gifts-aS you
should. They gained training that
developed and broadened and increased
their talentS-as you should. They took
aim at success and fired away until they
hit it.
Look around you! Wherever your
eye turns you see some man or woman

You must not think of success as a
