.ALL-STAR CAST IN
FEATURE GRAND TODAY

Probably one of the most remark
able motion pictures ever offered the
film fans of Bismarck will be screen
ed at the Grand theatre this after
noon at two matinees, and at the two
evening shows.
THE Girl of the Golden Vest
the production tina: brought David
BelascO to the front as the foremost
producer OF the heavy types of west
ern drama.
'The Girl of the Golden West"
stands in class by its self, and no
doubt it will be many years before
such an artistic play OF the earlier
times will be attempted again. The
following brief synopsis will be read
| with much interest, as the produc-
ton is an all-star cast
"The Girl Of the Golden West" is
considered to be Belasco's most re-
markable drama. It played in New
York for two seasons and broke rec
Ords thrOuhOut the entire country. 1t

days of the California gold rush in
| 1S49. "The Girl" keeps a saloon in
the INNING camp OF .'ClOUGy anu
wins the respect of the miners by her

also a professional gambler, and an
educated outlaw or "road agent" The
thrilling episodes of the drama show
| how "the girl" falls in love with the
''road agent" defends him. and deter

Out like a lamb. Welcome, April
NO ADVANTAGE,

In authorizing government manu-.
facture OF armor plate, the senate
desired chiefly to secure reasonable
prices from private industries.
AS club the action served its
purpose. If the plate manufacturers
agree to furnish supply as cheaply
as the government can manufacture
there is absolutely no need to en-
bark on the industry. Most expert
ments in government and municipal
ownership have been failures.
For the United States to tie UP
millions in the manufacture of mu.
nltions and war supplies would be
the height of folly. It possesses the
power in time of war to take al
steps necessary to protect the gov
eminent against exhorbitant prices.
The Bethlehem Steel company, in
a circular addressed to the members
Of congress, offers to make armol
for the United States at a price the
government itself shall name as fair
There are thousands of ways Sill,
100000 could be spent to better ad
vantage than upon an armor factory
The government can club the private
induIries into fair prices without
going to such extremes.

University Of Washington Football
Team Makes Unique Record IN.
der Coaching Of Dobie.

Eastern critics will probably credit
the marvellous record of Gilmour Dobie
Of the University of Washington. now
that tie far West has proved conclu
sively that it classes with the East

The Oregon Aggies, who beat the
Michigan Aggies, conquerors Of Michi

WITHOUT MERIT,

New Rockford has more business at
present than cranberry merchant.
That wOuld-be capital is flooding the
state with literature asking for fair
jury trial with comments on the con-
dition of the state capitol building,
and quotes Architect A. j. O'Shea,
who says to reconstruct would cost
almost as much as a new building
and of course New Rockford wants
the new structure.
The New Rockford movement is
without merit, and we are Of the opin-
ion that al the general election in No
vember a verdict will be rendered, in
favor of Bismarck, the only logical
point for the capital, which was tax
en- into consideration when the state
was in it's infancy and before New
Rockford had doued its swaddling
garments.
Every state is endowed with a spot
for the capital, and North Dakota s
Bismarck was selected for the states
official family: and Bismarck, the cap
ital of this great state is known to
every citizen and child of the nation
and it would be shame to "ball-up'
the world by moving it to New Rock
ford. town not known outside of the
state, and wait for it to make repu
tation.
The "play-boy' cry of the center OF
population is obsolete. Capitals of a
state are located on the principle that
every nook and corner of it will be
populated and if modern building is
required Bismarck, the capital city,
is the place to erect 1.-THE Carson

among the granite humps OF New

emulation of cash or property.
They were farmers mostly, begin
ming with Leonard Weeks, who, emf
grating from England in 1856, became
the head and source OF the family.
Agriculture sternly practiced among
the embedded rocks and irremOVable
powders taught them to be resource
full and to keep at least one eye open
to opportunity.

DARK NOM ENTS.

These are critical times fort the
Republic.
Our diplomatic relations with The
Central Powers are again STRAINED
TO the breaking point. Count Won
BerstOrfr has gone as far us to say
that Il rupture with Germany o'H
the submarine would mean war. !
TO the average man in the street,
war with Germany seems as far on
as the millennium. This merely re-
fleets his Discrimination TO terminate
friendly relations with Germany. TO
him, in possession Of only meagrc
facts, war seems impossible.
The opposite is true, however. We
were never nearer danger than now.
We cannot sever relations with
Germany and avoid a declaration OF
war, unless that nation SO revises her
subsea warfare as TO make an. open
rupture unnecessary. If we break
with Germany and American lives
continue to be sacrificed, Wilson has
no other alternative He must go
before Congress and ask its support
even to a declaration of hostilties.
The Tribune has always main
tanned that Americans should not
travel upon armed merchantmen.
But this is no time to bubble on
that point Congress and President
Wilson have taken stand and every
loyal American is without an alter.
native in the present crisis.
Our stupid diplomacy has been
leading us toward the bloody vortex,
ever since Wilson and Bryan began
their cropping in the dark. We have
lacked leadership from the first. It
is to be hoped that Washington
or a Lincoln will rise up and save
the United States from a foreign en-
tanglement out of which can come
only disaster TO our institutions and
to our ideals.
Our only immediate hope now, is
Congress. ,.--,. ..

TRAYERS IDEAL FOR
LEAD IN IMAM TRAIL"

Out OF the forest wilderness $50
miles north Of Winnipeg, came a
clean-limbed, iine-lined boy some
years ago. He reflected the nature
of his environment. He was quiet,
administered, slow to speech and
quick to action, the man for the
pinch, the deaIist-Kichard c. Ira
vers OF the Essanay company.
Up to the time he was ten years
old, Dick Travers never saw a
white woman except his mother. He
was born away to the north in the
barren places at the headquarters of
a little river. His father, Scot,
was the first Protestant missionary
in the territory and the agent of the
Hudson Bay Company. The child
grew up with the silent Indians and
the inscrutable trappers whose lives
Imade them tactiturn and whose daily
brushes with death in the open pla-
ces made them self-contained and
danger-hungry.
When he was ten years old, he &C.
cClnpanied his father on a wonder
trip to Toronto. There he saw white
women, many of them, but their pres.
encey made him shy and their graces
rendered him distrustfu. He was
used\ to The silent, patient Indian
women. A garrulous woman filled

He hasn't lost these attributes

and of the. factors that go to make

RECALL YOUR SIGNATURE.

Representatives in the field secur
ing signatures to New Rockford cap
ital removal petitions resort to all
kinds of subterfuges. They are paid
ten cents a name, another indication
of the desperation of these land
spectators.
At Pembina persons opposed tc
capital removal, signed petitions
under the assumption that theJ
were registering as voters. In other
places the situation has been mis-
represented to secure signatures.
The last legislature failed TO enact
a method of procedure under the ref
crendum clauses of our constitution
NO safeguards were provided to pre-
vent fraud and misrepresentation.
It is under this hit or miss plan
that "a few real estate dealers seek
to deceive and burden the tax
payers of the state. But there is a
way 10 tnWaft them.
Just remember that if you have
changed your mind or your name
was secured through fraud, you can
drop a line to the secretary of state
asking that your name be Withdrawn
from the petition.

In his measurements, Captain Weeks
is a large man. A reasonable guess
at his weight would be ESQ pounds.
His stature, perhaps, is five feet and
eleven inches. His eyes are gray and
his manner is frank and hearty. While
at the naval academy he could slowly
raise 112-pound dumbbell above his
head with his right hand. Then, kneel-
ing with one leg, he could slowly raise
an S7-pound dumbbell with his left
hand. More than that he could lower
his hands to his shoulders and slowly
and simultaneously put both dumb
bells above his head the second time.
A muscular youth, he was recon-
mended by his principal to the "pru-
Dental committee that called at the
academy in Lancaster on hunt of a
teacher for their district school. The
school was then closed-a group Of

teacher into the road, slammed him
