PER DIEM PERFORMERS.

Because the Tribune refuses to as.
sist' the paid uplifters'' in their at
tempts to pass the hat in this COM
munity, these per diem reformers are
picturing us as the foe of Prohibition.
Their activity to besmirch and mis-
represent is characteristic of the prop
uganda these mercenary gentlemen
seek to float at the expense OF pri-
vate purse, already heavily taxed
through regular channels for law en-
forcement.
The Tribune has respect for and is
in sympathy with the Woman's Chris
tfan Temperance Union and the Scan
dinavian Total Abstinence society, in
50 far as these societies are engag-
Cd in spreading the virtue Of sobriety.
Our columns have always been open
fOr notices of their meetings and &C.
tiyities and will continue to be 80,
despite the mendacious statements Of
the per diem reformers, who put more.
energy into chasing the uplift dollar
than in suppressing vice and evil. 81
Unnecessary, give the attorney gen
eral another assistant, slearned in the
law, whose duty it shall be to see that
our prohibition laws are enfQrced.
Now is the time, however, to dispense
with the private agents. Let the, >ex.
ecutiys officials of the w. C. TsSU.
and thes scandinavian Total Abstin-
ence society," 60 totthe regular ON.
cials and through them seek the ZEN
forcement of law. 49,.
North Dakota is long suffering, but
the time has come to fix the respon-
sibility for law enforcement at the
doors Of our officials. 1t is ridiculous
to elect one set of officials and then,
out of the private purse, to pay spies
and informers to watch them.
In the dark ages, governments used
to send two spies into the enemy's
country and then, as matter of ex.
IRENE precaution, they sent two more
spies to watch the first ones.
The per diem reformers want to ap-
ply that system in 1916. Fortunately,
the scales are dropping from the eyes
of the public.
