ATkINSON'S REPLY.

In another column, the Tribune
publishes communication from
County Surveyor Atkinson. While
We cannot agree totally with his con-
clusions, the Tribune welcomes a gen.
eral discussion Of the good roads is.
sue. s,... .........
There is no defense for the expend-
iture of $4,000 or so upon the Apple
Creek bridges. The county has had
road around the obstruction for
years by renting the taxes.
On the whole, Mr.. Atkinson's letter
is q frank admission that much more
could have been accomplished. 1t is
hardly fair to charge up all the short.
age in road mileage to labor troubles.
The underlying cause is inefficiency
in the road crews and bungling road
building policy.
The only way the county board can
mitigate matters now is to steam up
and give us a few good roads into Bis
marck.
Less time in Matching alibis and
more time in moving dirt will get the
desired results.

THE SHARKS.
(CharIes B, DriscoID

(CharIes B. DriscoIl) ..E
Comes now the shark to Jerseys
shore
TO gain bare subsistence,
And all the swimmers loudly roar
For succor and assistance.
Most every evening after day
A company of neighbors
Goes out to hunt the poor old shark
With butcher knives and sabers.
Some people blame this gentle beast
For all his long-shore gambols.
These persons ought to know, at least,
The reasons for his rambles.
Just put yourself in sharkey's place,
And think how he must suffer
Because the entire human race
Thinks him, an ill-bred duffer.
The sharks have heard about the
suits
The seashore girls are wearing,
Sans collars, cuffs, sans sock and
boots,
Bewitching, brief, and daring.
Let him who hath not craned his neck
When water nymphs were passing
Cast all the stones at sharks, by
heck!
Let others quit their casing!

THE COLLAR, OF COURSE.

Cyclone" Davis Of Texas says he
was beaten for reelection as con.
gressman-at-large by "booze, Doodle
and big business"
1t may be so, Cy, and we are not
fatty contradicting you. The COM
bination you mention is something
terrible to 60 up against. But let us
point out that, according to your own
statement, you met that same COM
bination once before in finish fight
and when the smoke of battle cleared
all three of the BIS were hors d COM
bat. You triumphed then, didn't you?
Why not again, Cy?
May we suggest, in all Kindness,
that you erred? You played with
fire; you dallied with temptation; you
looked on the wine when it was red,
tiguratively speaking. You wavered,
you were lost, you donned a collar!
Maybe you figured that collar
wouldn't get out, Cy, at least no fur
Their than the laundry semi-occasion-
ally. But it did All Texas spoke with
bated breath of the fall of Cyclone
Davis. The unwashed wept; they
bolted
Why, Cy, you know it was that COL
lar, don't you, honest?

WHALE OR SHARK?

Bismarck, Aug. 10, 1916.
Editor Daily Tribune ,,..--.,5-...i:.
Dear Sir-Allow me to correct you,
on the comment of DR.. Hugh Smith
in the Bismarck Daily of Aug. 9Th, if
you or DR.. Smith will please take time
to read the book of Jonah, you will
find it don't say, it was a whale, it
simply says a great fish: Book of
Jonah III, and as it don't say either
whale Or shark, ] think God, that Gre
ated all the fishes of the sea, knows
the kind of fish to select to take care
OF Jonah for three days and three
nights, until Jonah was willing to do
as God commanded him to do, cry
against the wicked city of Nineveh;
and furthermore, it plainly says God
had prepared great fish to swallow
up Jonah, SO you see it is impossible
for DR.. Smith to prove what kind of
fish it was, no matter how big author
ity he is on fishes, as God was able
to prepare fish for that purpose, and
it might be fish that DR.. Smith don't
have a name for.
Respectfully,
AUGUST TRYGG.

that they would soon cross the Okla

man to do his duty, or words to that

DIXIE SMILES.

The sunny south is smiling and get
ting prosperous, thank you, according
to the latest figures from that section
of these United States
According to Fairfax Harrison,
president of the Southern railway,
Dixies wealth is increasing nine
times as fast as her population-and
Harrison has figures to prove it.
In the last ten years, he has been
telling the Virginia bankers conven-
ton, with an increase in population
of but 1413 per cent, the sections
assessed valuation has increased 1926
per cent, and its total wealth, 1928
per cent.
Do you wonder Miss Dixie smiles
and shows her pretty dimples?
In the same time the value of the
South's agricultural products has in
creased 1884 per cent, livestock 51.S2
per cent, and minerals 42.85 per cent
and manufactures, Of which we are
accustomed to think the south has
none, 1876 per cent.
And bank deposits have grown
7728 per cent.
New Orleans informs us, by the
way, this years cotton crop will bring
$765, 100000, nearly $170,000,0O0 more
than last year's-and in grade it
ranks with the best during the last
five years. -.
