THE BOARD OF CONTROL.

Several days since communca--
ton reached the Times Record from
jamestown purporting to be facts OF
on discriminating nature against the
State Board of Control. However,
the names attached to the communi-
cation were those Of old politicians.
The legislature is to make thorough
investigation and until the report is
finally made it will be as we'll to with
hold judgment. Behind the demand
for an investigation are such well
known men as John Knauf, Oscar
siler and others who have at various.
times taken rather prominent part
in politics and there may be an "ob-.
ject" in view that will become appar--
ent later.

OUR PEACE OFFICERS.

Under the head of Manufactured
Sentiment" the Bismarck Tribune
comments on the creating of an Office
for the purpose of law enforcement a!
follows:
There is an organized attempt tt
land F. L. Watkins at the public crib
Sentiment for the creation of Law
enforcement department is bein&
manufactured by the various temper
ance organizations who are lombard
ing the legislators with letters urg
ing the passage of the house bill ere
ating law enforcement officer.
There is absolutely no necessity
for this Office. The state has fifty
one states attorneys and an attorney
generals department. This is suffi
cient machinery to enforce the liquor
laws of the state.
The bill fathered by Watkins is an
insult to every peace officer of the
state. 1t is an Impeachment of the
whole legal machinery created to en-
force the laws of the state.
If fifty-one states attorneys have
failed to enforce the liquor laws prop
erly what can one peace officer do?
"The bill merely creates job fol-

temperance forces may dictate.

parage Mr.. Watkins or the temper.
ance workers. There is absolutely
no reason why the state should ere
ate this additional Office to overlap
the law enforcement officers already
provided to protect the citizens OF
this state"
The above may be perfectly true in
so far as it relates to the number of
officers and as to their ability but the
fact still remains that there officers
are not attending to the enforcement
of that particular branch of the law,
in way that is at all satisfactory to
those who wish to see the booze ban,
ished. There is hardly town in the
state where a man cannot obtain in,
toxicating liquors, judging entirely
by DRINKS in sight, and even in the
smaller towns there is evidence that
a special officer is needed. Votes are
of too much value for the local officers
to exert themselves to any great ex.
tent and a good shaking up occesion'
ally by state officer would result in
good, we have no doubt.

JUDGE BLAMES OTHERS IN SEN.
FENCING MURDERER.

In passing sentence on Henrickson,
the wife murderer, Judge Pollock took
occasion to place the blame for the
crime upon the men who sold the
whiskey to the unfortunate man as
we'll as he who fired the fatal shot.
His words to the prisoner before pass
ing sentence were cas- follows and
will be found filled with deep mean
ing and sound common sense.
The remarks of Judge Pollock in
pronouncing sentence upon Hendrick-
son were as follows:
Divine and human law declares.

fore the bar of justice confessing to
have committed the revolving crime of
numbering, in cold blood, the woman

tect. Another crime, that of attempt.

be inflicted for either.

that you were drunk when you com

only be received to save you from the

that accounts for $3.50 every week OF

GERMANY RANlsHEs ALCOHOL.

The Fargo Search Light says:
The dispatch that is attached com
ing from the German War Depart
ment is the strongest sort of an en-
dorsement for prohibition. The
leaders of the world are beginning to
realize that the liquor traffic is the
worst possible enemy of the whole
world and of civilization. The great
struggle now on in Europe is doing
more for prohibition than all of the
work that has been done for a
hundred years.
The practical" men of the past
the business men who said they were
practical in sustaining and voting
for the liquor traff1ce, are growing
more and more uncomfortable every
year but will jump in soon and
claim to be the practical men Of the
world. They will claim credit for
that which they have fought against
nearly all their lives and in fighting
which they have been very unscrup'
ulous in many respects. Many of
these are loud praying church mem
bers who surround themselves with
halos and wear them ostentatiously
Many others have never belonged
to the church and never will. The
people should keep in mind those
who have been for prohibition and
those who have been driven into the
ranks by force of public opinion.
There is a radical difference between
the two.
The oncoming generation, the
younger element among the people,
will see the complete elimination OF
the American saloon, and that in a
few years. The day of the saloon
and the liquor traffic is nearly at an
end. The dispatch referred to is as
follows:
Abstainers Stand March Best.
(By Associated Press).
Amsterdam, Jan. 1.-THE Ger
man War Department has written
another paragraph into the history
of alcoholism in this war.
1t says:
AT first alcohol supplies GER
tain liveliness, but with the con-
sumption of larger quantities it
causes somnolence. Experience
teaches that abstinent soldiers can
best resist the fatigues of war. Be-
sides, the use of alchol leads to
excuses and dissoluteness. Alcohol,
therefore, is to be used with the
greatest care, and is to be absolutely
avoided on the march. For giving
warmth it is not to be recommended.
The warmth which it conveys is en-
tirely deceptive. All in authority
are requested to pay strict attention
to the necessity of limiting it's use.'

ture shipments found to be adulterated

you to receive a merited punishment.
"The statute says All persons con-
cerned in the commission Of a public
offense, whether they directly commit
the act constituting the offense, or
aid, or abet in it's commission; or who
by fraud continuance or force, occasion
the drunkenness of another for any
crime, are principals in any crime so
committed" a. t. ~
If your partner in this offense were
here, he would plead by way of de-
tense that he did not by fraud con-
trivance or force occasion your
drunkenness-a plea which would
have to be sustained.
"How much longer will the courts
be deprived of authority to do COM
plete justice between their fellow
men? An enlightened and long suf-
fering public will some day, and very
soon, rise in the majesty Of it's power,
and demand that the legislature strike
out the words by fraud, continuance
or force and for the purpose of caus-
ing him to commit any crime, and
boldly declare that he who in any
manner sells intoxicating liquor to an
other as beverage, under the intiu-
ence of which a crime, whether Of
murder or of some lesser offense is
committed, is equally guilty as a
principal in any crime so committed.
Such law would distribute the blame
and place it upon all thise responsible
for the crime.
"The persons who, for business or
other reasons, vote to permit the con-
tinuance of a traffic which robs men
of their reason, increasing the liabil-
ity of crime being committed, are in a
measure responsible. Anyway with
your mistaken notions of business
necessity. 1t does not exist. Treason
against the state stalks abroad in our
midst. How much longer will the
people permit both treason and muir
der in order that there may be con-
tinued a system of dealing with the
liquor traffic which preys upon the ap-
petites and passions of men? A quar-
ter of a century ago the good people
of our state dissolved partnership with
the accursed license system. The
state of Minnesota still permits the
evil. Her splendid western city of
Moorhead we'll located for business
and containing some of the best peo-
pie on earth, seems blind to the great
wrong of the traffic in rum. We must
suffer because of their inability to see.
Most of the persons sent to the peni
Tertiary by this court would not be
prived of their liberty, and our state
would not be burdened with heavy ex-
pense for their care, had they not
gotten drunk in the saloons Of Moor
head. The time has come when this
iniquity should be banished forever.
You, who will suffer all your life be-
cause of your misdeed, may uncon-
sciously, by your act arouse public
sentiment to the end that such often
SEES will not be repeated and that its
contributing cause will be removed. It
is devoutl to be wished that such will
be the case.
"The sentence and the judgment of
the law is that you Robert Hendrick-
son be confined in the penitentiary
at Bismarck at hard labor for and dur
ing the remainder of your natural life.
Let judgment be entered accordingly. :"

PRIZE FOR MORAL CODE

Montana has been invited to pro-
duce a code of educational morals to
be introduced into schools throughout
the United States. H. A. Davee, state
superintendent of public instruction,
has been placed in charge of the move
ment in this state by the executive
committee of the national institution
of moral instruction. For the best of
the 70 codes to be submitted, the snug
little sum of $4,000 will be awarded.
The award has been offered by a
prominent American business man,
according to word received here. The
cintest will be an interstate affair, and
at least one code will be produced by
each state. Mr.. Davee as a member
of the board of cooperating educa-
tors, will choose the Montana code
writer's. Although but 70 code writ
ers are to enter the contest, an ef-
fort will be made to secure opinions
on educati onal morals from all classes

SHOULD WE PREPARE

Should the army be doubled?
Should the navy be enlarged to twice
it's size? Should schools be made mil
tary instruction government depart
ments? Should American people in
augurate a demand for preparedness
that Congress cannot ignore? These
are a few of the questions which the
National Security League is urging
upon American people and the news
papers of the country in an effort to
stir up public sentiment in favor of
"a call to arms against war;"
The Security League is forming
branches in every big city of the
try. and enlisting the help of prom
inent men in the movement. Among
these are ]. Stuart Blacton, of the
Vitagraph film company, who has
written and produced a remarkable
feature film called "The Battle Cry
of Peace" which is playing to crowd
ed houses simultaneously in New
York, Boston and Chicago. The story
of the film is based on Hudson Max
inns book "Defenseless America"
and the performers include Admiral
Dewey, Major Leonard Wood, DR.. Ly-
man Abbott, Hudson Maxim, 300
members of the G.. A. R.; $4,000
National %guardsmen and many others.
It is one of the most remarkable
peace through preparedness propa-
ganda ever launched in this country.
Others interested in the movement are
Senator Warren G. Harding of Ohio,
former Congressman Nicholas Long
worth, Speaker Champ Clark of Mis-
souri, and United States Senator
James A. O'Gorman Of New York.
Senator Harding believes the navy
especially should be strengthened by
a larger submarine force; that the
army be doubled and a practical
method provided for educating officers
for available volunteers. Others go
even farther in recommending an
army twice as large as the present
one, the addition of a large aerial
division and the institution of CON-
pulsory military service. What would
happen to America, they point out
is wildly shown in the film "The
Battle Cry of Peace by the lombard
ment Of New York, the failure Of our
so-called coast defenses and the utter
inability Of our army to cope with
the invader.

BRITISH PRODUCE STARTER FOR
AERIAL MOTORS

One of the most interesting devel-
opments that has been made recently
in improving aeroplane equipment has
been announced in England, where an
apparently practical self-starter for
aerial motors has been constructed.
The Importance of this invention, es-
pecially from the standpoint of the
military flier, is most obvious. The
utter necessity for reasonable CON-
pactness and lightness in such mech
anism has been the principal stun
bling-block to be overcome in meeting
aeronautical requirements. The de-
vice complete weighs only "a Id. and
is capable of turning over a 90-hp.
motor continuously for two minutes at
a speed Of so revolutions a minute.
The motor develops IA hp. with 3S to
l gearing and is provided with a -
volt battery of 66 ampere-hour ca
pacity. The apparatus, a view OF
which appears in the November Pop
ular Mechanics Magazine, is made as
an integral part Of the crank case.
