autos, rather than hunting dogs. wild
animals, poachers and game hogs are
the cause of the disappearance Of
prairie chickens. The use of autos
cannot be stopped, but the damage
they do can be offset by game ref
uges and game bag reductions.
There is much discussion among
sportsmen Of the. state as to the best
methods Of protecting game life. A
number of bills are likely to be sub.
mitted to the legislature on the sub
ject. Some time during the legisla.
tive session call for a mass meet
ing of the sportsmen Of the state may
be issued. 4
In addition to the proposed legisla.

EXPLAINS FAILURE,

Those who heard Mrs. Nellie Nc
Chung of Edmonton, Canada, last
evening, whether agreeing with her
theories or not, were impressed with
the sincerity and brilliancy of the ad-
vocate. The feminist movement is
producing type of orators who are
bound to gain votes and prestige for
the cause.
In that Mrs McClung, unlike most
suffrage agitators, did not urge sex
superiority in her argument for the
extension of the franchise, she show.

men.
But the climax of her address was
in the few eloquent passages in which
she frankly explained why the cause
of equal suffrage has suffered so
many reverses recently.
Her reason is one advanced so often
in the columns of the Tribune. It is
the inertia of the women themselves.
When the men are once convinced
that a majority of the women desire
the ballot, 1t will be given them.
The women are divided into two
camps. The 4"pros" and the "antis. I"

There isn't going to be any vacancy

Dakota, states authoritative advice
from Washington. @
Friends who have been busily filling
Judge Amidon's berth here will have

For, says the Washington letter,
Judge Amidon is not going to succeed
Judge Adams on the circuit court Of
appeals at st. Louis. That little job
has been sequestered by Senator
Stone of Missouri, chairman of the
committee on foreign relations and a
Democrat who Wilson is very much
indebted, for his own son, Judge Stone

"Show-Me" state. And what Senator
Stone asks of the present administra.

of Wilson's very natural gratitude to
North Dakota and North Dakota Dem.

vote they recently gave him.

not get a North Dakota federal Judge.

North Dakota will participate in the
distribution of $423,339 in federal ap-
preparations, if recommendations of
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo,
as presented to congress this week,
are carried out.
Bismarck is particularly gratified to
note that an appropriation for the
boys dormitOry, approved by the last
session of congress, is included in Nc.
Adoo's estimate Of s53,475 for the Bis
marck Indian school. The school is
SO over-crowded now that boys are
bunking in the chapel and in other
odd places. The enrolment now is
more than 100, and with the boys dor
mitory completed, it can easily be in
creased to more than 200. Last year
the Bismarck school received $4,000,
which would indicate that the institu-
ton is to have 5000 for a new dor
mitory, or $4,000 for the dormitory
and an increase of $4,000 for general
expenses.
Dickinson Federal Building.
The secretary of the treasury's bud
get includes an estimate of $4,000
for Dickinson's new federal building,
which is the only one provided for
in North Dakota. (: ~.

little consideration, but $4,000 being
