Left Mercedes Early Today for
Fort Smelling To Be Muster
ed Out of Federal Service
POSITIONS WANTED FOR
THE RETURNING SOLDIERS

The North Dakota regiment left
Mercedes for Fort Smelling this morn
ing.
The first period section carried Com
panies B, I, G, l.. the band and the
hospital corps, consisting of IS Off
GERS and 264 men. The train left
Mercedes at 5 o'clock.
The second section;, which left a
half hour later. carries Companies A,
H, F, K, c, Z, D, M and the machine
gun company, consisting Of 80 officers
and 524 men.
This information was furnished The
Tribune this afternoon in a dispatch
from Captain Murphy, acting adjutant.
A. 3. Weld, captain of the First
North Dakota infantry commanding
Company A, in communication to
A. w. Lucas, writes that it has been
the custom of several organizations OF
civil and local organizations of the
various states to which their regi-
ments are returned to make some pre-
paration and take some action toward
the employment Of the soldiers. This
is sometimes done by cooperation be-
tween the Commercial clubs and city
commission or other authoritative
bodies.
In Company A. whose station is in
Bismarck, there will be about so men
who will be returned without positions
and will be compelled to cast around
and hunt a place for their support,
says Captain WEIGH. who asks Mayor
Lucas to cooperate with the CONNER.
cial club of Bismarck in opening an
employment bureau or such other
means as may be suggested to pro.
vide the boys with positions.
Bismarck no doubt will unite in a
great municipal celebration for the
homecoming of the members of Com
pany A, as will be done in other cities
of the state. Just what the nature OF
the event will be has not been made
public yet. The company should reach
here the middle of February.
That the city will take care of its
soldiers is not doubted. Many have
been promised their old positions.
AS to plans Tor the welcoming home
of the boys, Mayor Lucas stated he
would gladly 60 out among the bust
ness men himself and solicit contri'
buttons, but for the fact that business
will take him east within a week or
ten days and that he will be absent
from the city for three weeks at the
least. His suggestion was that the
Commercial club take the matter in
its hands. In other cities auxiliaries
to the G.. A. r. and the companies are
arranging the entertainment.
The boys babe farewell to the "bor-
der patrol station today. They will
be mustered out of federal service at
Fort Smelling, which will take about
two or three weeks. Company "A will
then proceed to its home station and
ooce again assume its duties as ma.
tional guardsmen.

CLUBS FUTURE.

Eisfnarck's Commercial club is to
be reorganized along new lines, not
as a reflection upon the past, but sim
ply az an adaptation to the exigen-
cies Of the present. The retiring pres.
ident, Mr.. c. l.. Young. indicated in
his annual report some of the things
accomplished last year and made
some pertinent recommendations for
the future
Those entrusted with the clubs
destines are working out a plan and
within few days will have ar an
nouncement to make.
There are two big problems facing
the club. One is to secure better
communication with the territory
west of Bismarck. The first step is
a bridge over the Missouri river. OF
course, such large project will take
time. The immediate relief is good
road to the river and adequate ferry
facilities. Steps have been taken to
this end
The other pressing need is thor.
ough study of our freight rate prob.
lem. Here especially progress must
be made slowly. Schemes for relief
fathered by other commercial clubs
may be preiudicial to Bismarck. The
rate situationSymust 4be studied as it
affects our industries. There are a
number of inequalities and apparent
determinations, many of which would
be remedied if put up fairly to the
traffic managers of the railroads.
Cool, level.headed action is all that
is necessary.
II the club concentrates it's efforts
on these two things and shows some
measure OF accomplishment, it will
be busy the next twelve months. The
bridge problem embraces the broad
subject of good roads and the devel-
opment of the Red Trail. Now is the

A statement was read from one Of
the Bismarck taxi men, who had been
called by the police to make certain
runs during the December cold spell.
They are not in the laboring

Under the ruling OF the president
of the city commission. the taxi men
must wait a few weeks before they
can draw their warrants.

| enough to a searching analysis into
costs of operation. and standards
maintained here in comparison with
institutions Of accepted rating in 9TH

Some chapters Of this report consist
Of a mere copy Of the courses from
the college bulletins and the lifting
bodily Of statutes affecting the var.
tous institutions. There has been 4
scrupulous attempt made to put in AZ
little that would offend or disturb the
perennial placidity of the educational
clique.
The report must come as a distinct
disappointment to anyone who desires
to ind there a clear diagnosis Of our
educational ills and a prescription for
the remedy.
The report has every earmark Of be.
ing dominated by the educational ring
which for years has declared when in
vestigations we're imminent $50 far

That same influence is now seeking
in the present budget to secure i'm.
mense appropriations from tho state
treasury without being able to show
to the taxpayers an adequate return
for large sums already expended.
1t was hoped that this report would
guide budget making, but it is practi'
cally silent on costs except to recon-
mend more members Of the faculty
and increased salaries.

pages Of closely printed matter, as dry
and unenlightening as a congressional
record. It is fervently hoped that

POLITICAL TENDENCIES.
pers!


Mr.. Garrison, former secretary of
war, in recent address before the
New York State Bar association,
touched upon some salient features
of present day political tendencies.
He emphasized the absence of deep
seated political convictions, deploring
the fact that the end, rather than the
means, is the chief consideration. OF
course, as we all know, the inevitable
result has been to obliterate party
lines and develop sort of hybrid
system OF representative democracy
This condition Of democracy is drift
ing as fast as possible toward an alb
Solute democracy.
Such a condition cannot long en-.
dure.' Mr.. Garrison commented. ut
seems to me the time for readjust-
ment and realignment is near and its
basis rather clearly indicated. The
dividing line should be between those
who think government should be the
predominant factor in human life and
those who think it should be su Dor.
dinate factor
There are those who think that gov
eminent is the panacea for all ills.
They try to reach every evil through
law. On the other hand are those
who believe we have enough govern
ment already and that the best gov
erned land is one that is least gov
erned.
This is the season OF the year when |
most states are trying to induce uto- !
plan condition of affairs by a multi
plicity of laws. In these days legis-
lation most often takes the form OF
laws that seek to break down and
even destroy representative govern
ment. Everywhere there is burn
ing desire to improve upon the old,
regardless of whether the foundations
of the proposed structure are firm or
not.
Unfortunately, laws do not always
result in checking the evils aimed at.
if it had as much redemp-
tive power as some people believe.
many of US would have been angels
long ago. The pressure for more laws
Is growing every day. AS time goes
on. these legislative enactments be-
come more paternalistic in nature.
Unfortunately, laws do not redeem
mankind. Often they make the prob {
lem Of redemption more complex and
postpone rather than hasten the dawn
Of the millennium. II political purity !.
could be reached by the legislative {
route, how many would be wearing
wings right now?

tant, is not going to cure all the ills
OF the body polite. The real solu-
ton lies primarily in a return to the
old.estabished American system OF
government with such notifications
as are demanded by the exigencies of
the times, rather than in resorting to
an entirely new philosophy Of gov
eminent and in tearing up by the
roots established institutions.

Mayor Lucas at the meeting Monday
evening Of this week.

the money from the county is re-
ceived, the mayor moved that only

ta's educational institutions.
After reading better than one-third
Of the recent report prepared by the
federal bureau Of education, one ma
jor defect is apparent. Too much
space is devoted to historical sketch
Of the various institutions. The edu.
cational experts skate around the
edges. Between the lines there is q
studied effort to avoid unpleasant re-
velations. Criticisms are CLOSED over
and buried in a mass Of data already
we'll known and Of record in our edu'
cational annals.
The report seems to be directed
more for the information Of strangers
not conyersant with conditions here.
1t was the intent OF the board Of re-
gents act. to direct the searchlight Of
publicity upon the shortcomings Of
the various institutions rather than to
develop and expand purely historical
facts.
Probably the law creating the board
was unfortunate in that the duty OF
assisting in the survey was assigned
to the educational commissioner. It
would have been better had a survey
been provided by men wholly disin'
terested and unhampered by any con-
,siderations. even afiliation with the
educational system Of the state in the
remotest degree.

it is to get an educational survey.
