TUESDAY WILL
Be NOTABLE IN
STATE HISTORY
Final Official Action on the SUI
frage Measures Expected
from Governor

Tuesday, January %, promises to be
rather a memorable date in the his
tory of North Dakota.
On that day Governor Frazier will
affix the executive signature to the
first woman's suffrage bills adopted in
North Dakota-bills which would have
been signed Wednesday but for mis-.
take in engrossing-and limited fran.
chise will have been extended to some
thing like 100000 North Dakota wo-
men. while the first step will have
been taken in placing women on a
basis of complete equality with men.
The amendment providing for full suf-
frage has, it is true, long and ardu-
GUS path to travel before it can be-
come a part of the constitution. Much
to the regret of all suffragists, the
league did not embody an equal suf-
frage plank in its proposed new con-
stitution, and unless the senate sees
fit to insert this amendment and to
adopt the league constitution, and the
house to concur therein, the ladies,
until 1920, must content themselves
with the partial exercise of the cleo
tive franchise, as now practiced in
Illinois.
New Constitution Up.
OF even more vital importance will
be the final vote of the house of re-
representatives. upon the leagues new
constitution, embodied in House Bill
No. "A, which will be reported out CT
the committee on state affairs Satur-
day without Recommendation, and
which the house will consider in COM
mittee of the whole Monday. While
the league has about 80 Of the 113
votes in the house, there is question
as to whether it will poll its full
strength on this measure. II it does
not, the opponents Of legislative re-
vision of the constitution in the SEN
ate will take heart. If the league does
show it is holding its own in the house
it may bolster up one or two doubtful
senators, but in any event the bill will
20 from the house to the senate with
a majority in the latter body opposed
to it. Then will come test of the
real strength of the league, which for
a week has, been conducting mass
meetings in the home diStricts Of in.
dependent senators, counseling their
constituents to lombard the states.

LoudJudge'SLetter
jamestown Alert J

If Justice James Robinson Of the
State supreme court continues to take
the people Of the state into his conf
dence and write them weekly letter
about the work. OF the supreme court
and discuss questions that interest the
great majority Of people. who are not
familiar with the technical language
of court decisions. but who like TO hear
about court matters in language they
can understand. he will become one OF
the most popular officials ever elected
to the bench in this state The vOlun-
tary weekly communication may be
eNtra-judicial: it may violate sacred
precedent and may shock the dignitied
sensibilities and traditions of various
courts Of this country: but it will be
a novelty that, if carried out along
reasonable and common sense lines.
will prove highly educational, besides
being popular.
1t is often said that anything which
is "popular,' has not the real sub
stratum of merit behind it, But with
the advancing intelligence of the peo-
pie OF North Dakota and the progress.
sive ideals that have taken hold Of
the farming population. the weekly
message Of Judge Robinson may prove
happy opponents and exceptions to the
rule of judicial propriety. The Duluth
Herald. commenting on the first letter
OF the Judge which said that the court
has been "conSidering some OF the
most progressive court rules ever
adopted in any state. and all the judg-
es seem to favor the rules observes:
This is an :Nnovation that seems
to be one Of the fruits OF the farmers
non partisan movements in North Da-
kota; and it is not Il bad kind OF fruit
at all. Perhaps the farmers judges
will not be able to perform all they
promise, even though we may believe
implicitly in the good faith of their
purpose. If there are not too many
cases. they can easily decide them all
promptly Ii there are too many cas-
eS. they must choose between decid-
ing them without proper consideration
or letting the work pile up while they
give each case the thought it demands.
But the Robinson policy to recog
nize the public as the courts employ
er and the court as the public's ser
vant-sUrelv no exception can be tax
en- to this, and it is to be cordially ap-
proved.

DEWEY AND PREPAREDNESS

The death OF Admiral Dewey, al
though he had outlived By neac'y A
decade the three score and ten.
must cause every true American 70
feel a sense of personal loss and Sor,
row
The admiral, BY sheer force OF those
qualities we most admire III men. had
risen to the highest rank possible 70
attain in one OF the most eNactins
ORANGES of our national service.
He. was Il fine type OF officer ana
gentleman,
. above all. he was q great patriot.
Probably the greatest of the many
services he performed for his country
was the courageous way in which he
attempted to educate the nation to the
imperative need Of building navy
that would be sufficiently large and
powerful to protect it from asgres-
sion by any possible foe.
Admiral Dewey was too familiar
with history and the present day am
billions of the other civilized nations
to have any illusions as 10 our abIl,
ity to maintain our integrity ami our
rights on the basis Of pacitiSm.
Having been personally engaged IN
two wars. he probably has as great or
greater horror OF them as the non-re-
sistant pacitistS.
But both by instinct and experience
he knew that until all OF the nations
agree TO disarm. there could be no Sc
curity for any nation that was not
prepared to defend itself.
Having spent most OF his long lie
as a naval officer, it was only natura.
that he would emphasize the import
ance Of that arm Of national defense
as against the army.
But in view of our $1,000 miles OF
coast line. most Of it Vulnerable 10 at
tack. and the fact that our first line
of defense must be the navy. it is
doubtful whether anyone who con-
cedes the necessity for defense at all,
will seriously argue against Admiral
Deweys conclusions.
No one realized better than Admira!
Dewey that during the years immedf-
ately preceding the European war. our
navy had been allowed to deteriorate
to point where it could no longer
be seriously considered as capable.
even under the most favorable con
ditions. of performing the service for
which it was created and maintained.
He frequently recommended great
ly enlarged program for naval con
struction, but not until the flames OF
war began to consume Europe was his
advice needed.
His message to the American PEG
pie outlining program calling for the
building of four dreadnaughts a year,
80 that by 1919 we should have IS
completed first line battleships. was
the sanest preparedness suggestion Of
fered at that period when everybody
seemed to have a preparedness plan
Of his own.
This suggestion and the vigor and
sincerity with which Admiral Dewey
urged it. had much to do with the pas
sage by Congress OF the big naval bill
last year.
The most spectacular feature of Ad
miral Dewey's long and honorable ca
reer was the victory Of Manila Bay
But we are Of the opinion that his
most useful service to the nation was
performed during these later years
when he threw the full weight OF his
ability and prestige into the scales for
adequate naval preparedness.

GIRLS! THICKEN AND
BEAUTIFY YOUR HAIR
AND STOP DANDRUFF
Try this! Your hair gets wavy, glossy
and abundant at
once.

To be possessed of head of heavy,
beautiful hair; soft, lustrous, fluffy,
wavy and free from dandruff is merely
matter of using a little Danderine.
1t is easy and inexpensive to have
nice, soft hair and lots of it. Just
get a 25-cent bottle Of Knowlton s
Danderine now-all drug stores recon-
mend it-apply little as directed and
within ten minutes there will be an APP
pearance of abundance, freshness, fulfil
ness and an Incompatible gloss and lus-
ire, and try as you will you cannot find
a trace of dandruff or falling hair; but
your real surprise will be after two
weeks use, when you will see new hair
fine and downy at frst-yes-but
really new sprouting out all over
your scalp. Danderine is, we believe,
the only sure hair grower, destroyer of
dandruf and cure for itchy scalp and
it never fails to stop falling hair at
once.
If you want to prove how pretty and
soft your hair really is moisten a cloth
with little Danderine and carefully
draw it through your hair-taking one
small strand at a time. Your hair will
be soft, glossy and beautiful in just a
few moments-a delightful surprise
awaits everyone who tries this.-Advt

Fourteen men compose the Vermont
distribution force, which is in charge
of r. L. Armstrong Of Boston, as
sisted by NJ \. Griffin, supervisor for
Vermont and western Massachusetts.
II IS their duty not only to "sell = all
tobacco dealers but to demonstrate the
method b. which the flavor in Lucky
Strike cigarettes is preserved.
This method. by the way, is said to
be simply a toasting' process which
solves the problem of the use of Bur
ley tobacco in cigarettes. As evidence
of the American Tobacco Co. s belief
in the value Of advertising when
coupled with efficient distribution it
may be mentioned that every daily
