BISMARCK

The web of intrigue which enmesll'
cs Cleo Burke, Lieutenant Hope and
Hook Harnacle in ''"The Secret OF the
Submarine" is woven rapidly in the
second chapter of this wonderful feat
ure. In this episode there comes for
the first time a realization to the aud
fence of the great odds with which
Cleo and her friends have to contend.
One of the main points of interest in
the story lies in the fact that there
are so many factions in the search for
the submarine secret and these fac
tons are clearly identified in the sec.
ond chapter
What is the mystery of Cleo Burke
that is suspected by Gerald Morton
and used by him as club to intimi'
date Doctor Burke? This is a Ques'
ton that will be asked many times
after seeing the second chapter of
"The Secret Of the Submarine" for it
is big angle TO the mystery within a
mystery.
Lamar tombstone, the good looking
"heavy' who has the role of Gerald
Morton in "The Secret of the submar
inc" makes his influence felt much
more in the second chapter than he
does in the first, as he is directly in
terested in obtaining the secret of the
submarine.

CONDENSED COURSES
FOR SUMNER WORK

A sDecial feature OF the work at the
summer session OF the North Dakota
Horticultural college is the condensed
program arrangement. While the SEES
sion extends throughout six weeks, a
number of courses are arranged in
blocks OF three weeks each. Thus it
is possible for students in domestic
science to put in a good share OF the
day in this one subject for a period
OF three: weeks. The same can be done
with elementary agriculture. nature
|study, manual training and some 9th
err branches. ,
This feature was introduced last
year for the nrst time and proved
very acceptable, considerable MUM
Der of principals, and superintendents
desiring as much work as possible in
a given subject for a threeweek per,
iiod.
Other courses run for six weeks.
The thTee-Week courses of the first
half of the session are succeeded by
|three-week courses in other subjects.
Thus there is every inducement to
attend for six weeks, but teachers
who can attend for three weeks only
will be able to put in full time upon
one or two subjects.
session, which closes July 81. The in
dications are that the attendance will
|show considerable increase over last
year. Inquiries have come in from
other states.

ROOSEVELT'S CHANCES.

Theodore Roosevelt seems no near
err the Republican nomination at this
writing than in 1912. In fact, his real
strength, that is, in votes, is not near
ly as formidable now as four years
ago. There was no formal test OF
strength between TAFT and Roosevelt
four years ago. Beaten by the Old
Guard, more than 300 Roosevelt fol-
lowers refused to vote and only 1O7
cast their ballots for him. Taft re-
ceived sci votes on the first ballot,
a margin of 81 above what was need
ed to nominate. Roosevelt's strength
in this Republican convention on the
first ballot is not much in excess ST
leo votes.
Today the situation is different.
Roosevelt is the leader OF the Progress
sive party He has never formally
abdidcated the Bull Moose throne.
While the party is dead as far as
being political unit in state affairs.
as 1ational organization it still
lives and has its being. Its leaders
in Chicago parade the vote cast in
1912 and declare that the Progressive
party is second in strength. The
Bull Moose party cast some 100000
more votes than the Republicans in
! 1912. But that strength means moth
ing now. The Progressive party's i'm
portance is limited merely to those
vehemently clamoring for Roosevelt's
nomination.
The danger at Chicago lies in the
perpetuation of the third party.
1t is doubtful whether the Progress
sive party with Roosevelt as its stand
ard bearer can poll as many votes
this year as in 1912. His quarrel with
Taft gave Roosevelt's candidacy
strength in 1912 than his opposition
to Hughes in 1916 can possibly do.
There is no Ballinger-Pinchot scandal.
Reciprocity is dead issue. The
clash between Hughes and Roosevelt
would have none Of the dramatic fea-
lures Of the contest between Taft and
Roosevelt. More than 100000 vot-
ers thought Roosevelt had a real
grievance against Taft. How many
would go with him if Hughes were
nominated?
This crisis calls for the highest
type of political leadership since Lin
coin was nominated 1t is no time
| for recrimination or reprisal No man
| should be able TO bulldoze the party
end force nomination. There has
been too much emphasis upon the
power of the leaders, but what of the
| 1000 or more delegates present?
Why not let them make the NOM
| nation? The Tribune places more
confidence in their patriotism and
Americanism than in the wire pulling
bosses behind the scenes.
Just put it up to the delegates!

NORTH DAKOrA's CRISIS,

1t is only proper that those who see
a menace in the leadership of the
Non-partisan League should band to-
gether. This indicates merely the
depth of their convictions. There is
no hostility to the farmers Of the
state who have joined the league un.
der the assumption that it's program
is panacea for all their ills, real or
fancied.
The Tribune in common with other
papers has been abused because it re-
fused to support a propaganda and a
leadership that spell inevitable fail
ure. If the farmers cannot bring
about necessary reforms through the
Republican or Democratic party, they
certainly will never reach the desired
goal by non-partisan organization.
Every movement conceived and born
as was the Non-partisan league is
doomed, sooner or later, to abiect
failure. Political history contains
mighty presidents to back up this as
sertion.
1t is impossible to compel good
times or to legislate prosperity. The
nation and this state have had polit-
ical commissions before. There have
been false leaders, too, who painted
for the farmer situation where he
would dominate the markets of the
world and fix by law the price of his
products and through statute limit
the cost of goods he purchases. Any
one who has studied econmics real
ICES regulation by law has its limita-
tons. The leaders of this organiza-
tion know that they are dealing in
demagogic persiflage when they prom
Use the farmers of North Dakota uto-
plan conditions if the state machin-
cry is delivered into their hands.
For the sake of argument, the Trib.
nne will admit that the farmers are
oppressed by all the ills the soap-box
orators advance But how are Town
ley, Coates and the rest going to cor.
