GovERNoR-ELECT FRAZIER.

Governor-elect l.. J. Frazier oe'
comes citizen of Bismarck today
The Capital City welcomes him. IN
Difference to his request, no speclai
inaugural ceremonies have been ar
ranged. He has good reasons 1or
wishing to dispense with the 1rllls
and to apply himself at once to the
strenuous tasks before him.
AS the leader of the movement IN
itiated by the Non-partisan league
Governor-elect Frazier should be well
equipped to solve the many problems
that will arise within the next two
pears.
The public and the press will lend
him all assistance in every good and
worthy object. There is no consider
alton now but the welfare Of the
state. After January next, Mr.. Fra
zier becomes the Governor of North
Dakota, regardless of any political
affiliations.
Most Of his life has, been been spent in
this state and he hay given its agn
cultural problems deep study. A large
proportion Of the laws necessarily at
feet the farmers To GovernOr.elec'
Frazier they are looking for reforms
and adjustments. g.. ... -.
The Tribune in behalf of the com
munity welcomes him to Bismarcl
and hopes his administration will be
successful. AL possible. co.operatio.

SPEAkERShiP.

Fortunately there seems little like
lihood of a speakership fight. The
Non-partisan league is firmly in the
saddle and the result Of its caucus
will decide the speakership. Contests
over the election of a speaker are
the bane cot SogE legislative, system,
Animositiasg are ;angendered that take
weeks to subside and often never
subside, but become the most disa-
greeable obstacles to legislation.
1t is presumed that the men who
control the destinies of the league
have tentatively, at least, selected the
man who is to preside over the House.
The men elected went before the
people with a definite program. Is
sues were defined and the time has
arrived now to make good on those
pledges. The next speaker, it goes
without saying, will be in full sym.
panty Will luC pIluClplCs III WAlSA
the league stands. ....
There can be no division this year
between the so-called insurgents and
the stalwarts. Old lines have been
wiped out. There is a brand new
deck on the table and the dealers
wear none of the old political labels
With such unanimity prevailing. the
speakership should be decided with a
minimum of friction. The struggle
for the organization of the House was
really settled at the June primaries
and signed, sealed and delivered at
the November elections. 1t now re
mains for the league to pick out its
most acceptable member and name
him b. reclamation. Anyone who gets
in the way of the buzz-saw will have
short shrift this year.

Hillside Dairy farm north of Wash

places, came in last night to. accom-

EMBARRASSING TO LOOK
TOO INNOCENT FOR JOB

R. w. Craig of Lisbon, a son of
Rev. R. H. Craig, formerly pastor of
McCabe Methodist Episcopal church
and now with charge at Dickinson,
is sheriff Of Ransom county, but he
looks like most anything else under
the sun than a typical sheriff. Craig
is tall, thin, youthful and ascetic in
appearance. He wears a No. IA COL
lar and dresses quietly and in good
taste. He was % years old when
elected chief peace officer of Ransom
county and he is now just turned 80.
The sheriff often finds it rather en-
barrassing not to look the part. It
is very common for visitors to hustle
into his Office with the statement:
II want to see the sheriff"
Every WE'LL" replies Mr.. Craig.
And the visitor waits, and the sher-
if waits. ~"''.r..o. .-r% .-
/ Finally, the visitor says:
"Really, I must see the sheriff
don't you think can see him now"
5."You are-you can-Im it," asserts
Mr.. Craig, and then there are ex-
plantations and apologies.
Despite his youthful appearance,
and the fact that he weighs about rs
pounds less than an average sheriff.
and IS lawyer by profession, Sheriff
Craig has made mighty good officer
and has succeeded in cleaning up
Ransom county to a point where law
breaking has become very uncommon.
But even at that, he can't make folks
believe the has none of the ear
marks, not even long, dropping mus
tache.

Effort Made To Induce Judges in
Sentencing To Consider Sea-
sonable Occupations
MANY SENTENCES ARE
COMMITTED AT MEETING

One matter which is now being
taken into consideration by district
judges in sentencing convicts to the
state prison is the season OF year at
which the term of Imprisonment is to
expire. In every instance where prac-
ticable the length OF term is so fixed
that it's expiration will come in the
spring or early summer.
There is, of course, a reason.
Heretofore little attention has been
given to the season at which sentences
terminate. Many have expired in
dead Of winter. The ex-convict, al
ways handicapped in finding work,
is under a double difficulty in winter,
when work is more scarce. The re-
suit has been that many ex-prisoners
have soon found their way back be-
hind the walls through the medium
of some crime which despair or hunger
forced upon them during the first few
weeks of their liberty.
These facts have been brought home
to district judges through intercession
upon the part of the board of control,
the pardon board and the prison
warden, and sentences pronounced re.
Gently have been carefully calculated
to expire at season when opportun
tiles for the ex-convict to find employ
ment are most abundant.
| Thirty sentences which would have
expired at more unfavorable seasons
were committed at the recent meeting
of the pardon board to terminate in
early spring. At this meeting 1873 ap-
plications were considered; two full
pardons were granted; five condition
al pardons were issued; thirty sent
ences were commuted; ten sentences
were made indeterminate; citizenship
was restored to five applicants, four
applications were deferred to the June
session, and 80 were denied.

A LESSON.

Minneapolis disregard of the Equi,
ty movement has cost the Mill City
dear. The movement had its birth
within the shadow of the Chamber of
Commerce, but when it demanded a
place in the sun, it was ridiculed and
cartooned by an unfriendly press
Farmers conventions held in Mime
apolis to discuss marketing problems
and to voice displeasure at the treat
.ment accorded the movement for a
competitive market were permitted
to crowd into inadequate meetins
places. The whole agitation for i'm
proved marketing conditions was
treated rs Q huge joke. -

LIVE STOCK EXCHANGE
SHOWED INITIAL PROFIT

"The Equity Livestock exchange is
the only institution Of it's kind with
one exception which ever has started
out with profit on it's first months
operations" remarked, today, Repre-
sentative Howard R. Wood of Deer
ing, probable speaker of the house,
and son Of F. B. Wood, general
manager of the livestock exchange.
"The exchange receipts are grow
ing each week, and there is no longer
any question of it's success. And it
is showing nice, clean profit all the
time," continued Mr.. Wood.

.. WITHOUT A PEER.

United States as a country to live
and prosper in is without a peer on
the face Of the globe.
At this season of the year Boosting
Is more or less pardonable and rem
iniscences are inevitable. Christmas
has been. great reflector of national
prosperity. 1t is estimated that $780,
100000 was distributed in gifts and
bonuses. Dividends in the largest and
most prosperous corporations are con.
servatively placed at $SOO,0O0,o00.
Formidable as these figures are,
they represent but a drop in the buck.
ct. Large wage increases in many
lines of industry are not included.
These were at least 100000, 900. Prof.
its to farmers swell the prosperity

line are increases of income that in.

The war may give our prosperity
some aspects of imitation, but aside
from the war brides" there are evi.
dences of good times not dependent
upon bloodshed This nation has
more than 1O0,00O,00O population. It
is the greatest consumer, as we'll as
the greatest producer, in the world.
There is no richer nor more product

within its domain These are ele.
ments that are obscured by the war

present day prosperity we should not
ascribe it all to the traffic in sup.
plies for the European struggle.
1t is just as we'll to remember that
the products of our farm are laany
times the output of the munition fac
tory and that the foodstnffs we send
abroad is but drop in the bucket
