COMMEMORATE ACTION.

Commissioners Lucas, Battey, Kirk
and Bertsch are to be commended for
their prompt action in giving the Man
dan corporation ferry privileges. This
indicates that the two cities are in
4complete accord as regards transpor-
statiop facilities acoss the Missouri at
8this point.
M The aplffespc are favorable for the
best service the two cities have ever
had. Both communities need better
ferry facilities and this is step in
the right direction. OF course bridge
is the ultimate aim Of both cities, but
In the meantime adequate ferry &C.
colnmodations are urgent.
These members of the commission
realized how pressing the emergency
and it goes without saying that
Bismarck will do everything possible
to assist in giving the two cities re.
liable service.
Traffic over the Red Trail is in
creasing each year. The chief OBJ
stacle was to get adequate and con-
tinuous ferry service at Bismarck and
Mandan. Once it is we'll known that
transportation facilities here are suf-
ficient, the travel over this famous
scenic route to Yellowstone Park will
double and treble.

to Carranza:

support and it is understood that Mex

in New Mexico, Texas and Arizona"
Japan has a terribly strong navy.
With our navy engaged in protecting
the Atlantic seaboard against Ger
many, Japan could land troops in Mex
leo without serious hindrance. Japan
has become one of the great gun and
munition makers. and could equip the
Mexicans. The Jap-Mexican invasion
would be up the Mississippi basin to
Ohio, Illinois. Indiana and the Great
Lakes.
Fairy story? That's what Belgium,
Servia and Rumania thought-at first.
People of these countries living in
fancied security less than three years
ago are now dead or homeless and
starving. A strong Jap-Mex inva.

California and splitting the nation in

actual prospect, and no German
dream, for all we know. The world
is war mad and the victims are the

. long time to prepare our national
forces. All our regulars and militia

MINORITY SUPREME.

Unless dnOthcf national disgrace is
to be perpetrated by La Toilette and
his satellites, GrOnna, ct al, the SEN
ate which has just convened in spe.
cial session should revise its rules so
as to prevent a minority rendering
the majority impotent.
Fortunately some of the senators
who rendered this nation contempt
ibIe in the eyes OF the world by their
reprehensible flibuster have retired
into private life Senator Clapp, the
Black Eagle, is among them. His
record is httingly crowned. Works
Of California and O'Gorman OF New
York are numbered among the lame
ducks whose "cackle" will no longer
be heard in that most "deIberatiye
body" Of the world.
A clotnre rule fairly drawn will de-
prive the minority of no rights. But
such action will prevent complete par
alysis of legislative functions when
the fate of the Republic is at stake
La Toilette should be shorn Of his
we'll earned title: The Great Fill
buster" 81
The senatorial manifesto, signed by
seventy-six senators so that the world
might know they were not part of
the plot that rendered poWerless the
United States senate, is a complete
admission of the viciOusness of rule
which time out of mind has menaced
the peace and safety Of the nation.
Power to authorize President Viii.
son to put into effect his policy of
armed neutrality was not the only
measure stihed by the omnipOtent
minority.
Appropriations for the army failed,
the conservation measure that would
have released for immediate use ma.
tional resources now tied up and bar.
rem, went into the discard, bill con
fering additional powers on the ship
ping board to meet urgent demands
failed and pressing revenue measures
were put to sleep while La Toilette
and Gronna raved.
The spectacle is mystery to all
the governments of the world. We
boast of our representative govern
ment, but not even in autocratic Rus
STA could one man defeat emergency
measures designed to protect the ma
ton from its enemies.
All senator needs to block any
legislation is lung power and physi-
cal endurance. La Toilette, Clapp and
Gronna have these elements despite
the fact that their craftsmanship is
Of exceedingly low voltage.
The senate should redeem itself in
the eyes of the nation. Adoption of
rules limiting debate might appease
somewhat the wrath of nation.
1t is time for the senate to reform.
Will the new body neglect this golden
opportunity to set aside moss covered
traditions and enlist in the service
of the people?

MEETING UNTIL FRIDAY

No new pastor, temporary or perma-

the congregation of the Kawaiahao
church called for last night.

meeting, but then the announcement
was made that due to the illness of
J. K. Nakila the meeting was to be
adjourned until Friday night Nakila
Is one Of the church deacons and 1t
was stated that he was to have acted
as the chairman Of the meeting.
Some surprise was evidenced by
the congregation when it was stated
that Nakila was to be the meeting
chairman, as the call for the mass
meeting had contained no information
that this was to be the case. But
nevertheless those present acquiesced
to the motion for an adjournment and
the election of a new minister vas put
off for a few more days.
Rev. Parker was not present at the
meeting. -
