PUBLISHERS Of STATE
HAVE SUCCESSFUL MEET

Last Saturday marked the close of
the most successful convention in the
history of the North Dakota Press
Association at Grand Forks. The
winter meeting Of the association is
the important business session of the
year. The summer meeting has come
to be more Of social event, but in
the winter time the "press Boys" get
down to business. The features of
this winters meeting were in ap-
pointing of legislative committees and
the discussion Of needed legislation
of interest to the state publishers,
the taking Of action with reference to
foreign advertising accounts and the
making of "North Dakota Apprecia-
ton Week" an annual event. Officers
were elected for the ensuing year as
follows: g. -.~
President, Robert Hughes of Wah-
peton; first vice president, M. I. Fork
ner Of Langdon; second vice presi-
dent, Geo. A. Monteith of Finley;
third vice president, j. H. McGarry Of
Alexander; secretary, D. r. Carlson
of Towner; treasurer, P. II. Howard
of McHenry; executive committee, e.
II. FeLerSOH VI O1ck1HSol, w. d. MIC
Laughlin Of Kenmare and n. P.
Knappen of Bismarck.
In between work time was found for
a banquet and dance, many of the
editors being accompanied by their
wives and daughters. Bottineau and
Minot were contestants for the sum-
mer meeting Of the association and
Bismarck extended an invitation for
the 1917 winter meeting.

BIG CELEBRATION TO MARK
FORMAL OPENING OF BRIDGE

One of the most picturesque events
ever held in the state will mark the
dedication of the Red Trail bridge at
Medora in May or early June. Presi-
dent F. w. Turner and Secretary John
Orchard of the Red Trail association,
state that plans are being formulat-
ed for a rousing celebration. Delega-
tions along the route probably will be
urged to make the trip ir automo-
biles. This event doubtless will be a
most interesting and unique affair.
Governor Hanna of North Dakota,
Governor Stewart of Montana and
Governor Burnquist Of Minnesota are
expected to be present and assist in
the dedication. Two of these officials
have formally accepted the Invitation.
One of the features planned is a
good road demonstration in which
farmers and city dwellers will take
part, showing the practical side of
the problem and what each cne can
do to assist in road maintenance.
A canvass of the situation indicates
that motor travel over the Red Trail
will be especially heavy. The Blue
Book, an official automobile guide, is
featuring the Red Trail and several
mountain resorts are doing excellent
work in advertising the scenic route.
The bridge at Medora has given the
good roads movement an impetus
along the entire route. Burleigh
county especially is being urged to
put a stretch of road east Of McKen-
zie in shape. County Commissioner
S. j. Nagel of Morton county has
promised to improve the 1cad known
as Eagle Nest flats between Glen
Ullin and Hebron. ,-.,
State Engineer Bliss of Bismarck
and Engineer Veigel of Dickinson left
Wednesday to inspect the Medora
bridge and probably will! accept the
work, all Of which has been done,
with the exception of the painting,
which must be left for warmer
weather.
The erection of this $4,000 bridge
through popular subscription is unique
in the annals of motor routes. An
excellent crossing has been made at
Medora. This alone should increase
materially the traffic over the Red
Trail this summer.

AWAITING AN ANSWER.

The Daily Mail has heretofore thought
that it was not constitutional for
member of the legislature to hold the
office of trustee in a State college, but
after discussion with The Columbia
Record. which paper quotes from the
constitution, The Daily Mail changes its
mind and says:
I'VE cheerfully admit this section Of
the constitution had escaped our atten-
ton. 1t does appear to be against the
law for a trustee OF State college to
hold any other office" The Daily Mail
quotes this section as cited by The Rec
ord:
NO person shall hold two offices OF
honor or profit at the same time" The
statute further provides:
1T shall be unlawful for any person
to assume the duties of any public Of
flee until he has taken the oath provid-
ed by the constitution, and been regu-
larly commissioned by the governor. The
term public officers shall be construed
to mean all officers of the State that
have been heretofore commissioned, the
trustees of the various colleges of the
State, members of various State boards,
and other persons whose duties are de-
fined by law
We had asked our good brother Wal
lace of the Newberry Observer, who is
fond of the constitution to give US his
judgment on this clause of the consti-
tuition. But so far as we have been able
to see, Bro Wallace has been too busy
to do so. But we are not without hope
and we shall occasionally remind him of
the request as we value his judgment
and we know some college trustees who
do so also.-A R. Presbyterian.

WHAT Mr.. WORKMAN SAYS.
Mr.. gWorkman was asked to state
whether or not any OF the issues dis
cussed by him in the last campaign
were before the general assembly at
either this or the last session and made
the following response:
Eyes. There were bills and resolu-
tons on the calendars embodying every
principle advocated by me IN the last
campaign. The chief of these were tax
reform, rural credits and registration
OF land titles
Did you regard the Legislature as
constructive" Mr. Workman was asked.
Yes and no. was his reply in some
respects it was constructive, in others
it was quite the reverse. 1t might be
said that in ideas it was constructive,
in acts destructive Most Of these ideas,
while intrinsically good were Of a
vague. hazy. ill-dehned nature. The
trouble was not a lack OF ideas. but OF
Aconstructive leadership to crystalize
these ideas into constructive laws. |
do not mean that there was a lack OF
men who know how to do this, but
Arather a lack Of experience and influ-
Fence on the part OF those who did know.
There was very perceptible lack OF
ability and knowledge on the part of
sevral who tried to assume the role of
leadership Had the session lasted a
while longer those self-important, self
chosen leaders would have been thrust

F%To illustrate this botching business, take
the question of tax reform subject by
the way in which am very much inter-

IN this State at this time I take it that
no one intelligently familiar with the
subject will for moent controvert. I

NEWBERRY COLLEGE BAS-
KETBALL TEAM WINNERS

The Newberry College basketball
team closed the most successful season
it has ever had, last Tuesday night, by
scoring a second victory over Clinton.
Out Of a schedule consisting of I3
games, Newberry won all of them, and
in addition to this, has not lost a game
on the homo floor for two years and
lost but one game in the State during
that time. There is every reason for
tie student body, alumnae and support
ers OF the college to feel proud of the
team. A college the size of Newberry
able to turn out a team that will win
two consecutive championships, plays
against every college in the State and
plays the hardest schedule in the State
is college to be proud Of. There is
no possible chance for dispute or for
a rival claim to the honor, as every
team was played and every team was
defeated, most of them twice.
The schedule had to be arranged from
an economical standpoint and was con-
sequently about as hard as could be-
On the trip to Charleston three games
were played in two days; on the trip to
Clemson, three games were played in
three days, all on strange floors with
unfamiliar officiating and a hostile
crowd who were aching for the blood
Of the State champions. Another re-
markable feature of the season was that
in six Of the seasons games. the New
berry team was behind at the end of
the first half. In some cases the score
was doubled. but the team from the
hill came through with its we'll known
fighting spirit and won A team that
never could be defeated and would
never acknowledge defeat is certainly
worthy Of support. ~
At the first of the season, the team
started out with but one finished player
on the squad, one other who had two
years experience behind him and the
rest all green material. In the first
game the team showed but little promise,
but after that the rough spots were
smoothed out and a perfectly working
machine developed, machine that came
through with the bacon" upon every
occasion. Too much credit cannot be
given the college or the team for their
wonderful season and for the fight
against odds in numbers and lack of
money to obtain suitable equipment The
boys have to furnish their own supplies
but an effort is to be made among the
supporters of the college, who appre-
ciate the value of good athletics, to raise
money to supply this need. 1t should
be successful for if ever a team or
college deserved support these do.
