HOW 7. R. WOULD ACT
ON GERMAN THREAT

New York, Feb. 2.-Colonel Theo.
dore Roosevelt, commenting on Ger
many's notice that she will carry on
unrestricted submarine warfare. said
III the president has a proper sense
of the respect due this nation he will
pay no more attention to this note
than a householder would to a warn
ing of a burglar against interference
when the burglar was about to make
off with the silver. We have in this
note the explanation of the presi-
dents peace moves of the last six
weeks.
The German note makes the policy
of murder of noncombatants. includ
ing women and children, the national
policy of Germany on the high seas.
II President Wilson means what he
has said about the freedom OF the
e a he will protect noncombatants
from murder as the first requisite,
and will act instantly against Ger
many.
'lf he had acted as he should have
acted at the time | asked him to act
at the time of the L%usitania affair II
Germany would now have something
besides notes to fear.
"On the first occasion. when the
threats of the German note are car
ried into effect. as regards American
citizens on ships. every German in
termed vessel should be seized by our
government and trade with Germany
interdicted."

GOOD GAME FRIDAY
NORTH DAKOTA AGGIES MEET
MADISON NORMAL AT NOR
NAL GYMNASIUM.

Those wishing to see a champion
ship team in action have the chance
Friday night at the Normal gym
nasium when the fast North Dakota
Agricultural college team clashes
with the local Normals in n of the
biggest home games of the eason
Last season, the northerners won the
North Dakota championship by de-
cisively beating the University of
North Dakota, Fargo college, and the
state normal schools without having
a defeat registered against them.
Besides the colleges named, South
Dakota State was easily beaten in
two games and the Flickertails also
went down into Iowa and Minnesota
and whipped some of the strong col
lege teams in those states. among
them G~ustavus Adolphus and Upper
Iowa university.
Practically the same men wear the
Aggie colors again this season and
they are cutting the same swath up
North Dakota way they did last win
ter. They know basket ball from
every angle, are very well coached,
are fast. strong and heavy, and more
than a match for the lighter team
they meet Friday night.
They play an advanced article of
basket ball worth going some dis
lance to see and are especially adept
at long distance basket shooting as
well as being excellent passers.
Their team play and speed pulled
them through a successful season in
1916 and with a veteran team in the
field this winter an ever better ex-
hibition can be expected.
Madison will undoubtedly be de-
feated, but ii its team a hold the
fast invaders to a score of reasonable
proportions, the players and their
fellow students will be satisfied with
the result. They want to make the
North Dakotans play every second to
win and will go into the game with
that intention.
In bringing the brilliant Flicker
tails here for this game the Normal
management has displayed its will
ingness to play the best possible
teams here regardless of the expense
or the outcome. 1t deserves COM
mendation for it's willingness to 60
out of its class in providing real bas-
ket ball for the edification of local
devotees.
Normal has been gameless for over
a week and the rest has been a boon
to the players who had not recovered
from the northern trip before they
tackled the strong Trinity college
quintet. Four hard games within a
short distance Of each other were
sufficient to wear the men out and
they are just beginning to find them
selves again.
Some of the glaring faults are be-
ing eliminated, notably the weak
passing and the shooting, and when
the yellow and white team takes the
floor against the Aggies, their fol-
lowers can be reasonably certain
their exhibition will be much better
than the n staged against Trinity.
The players know they are the
underdogs in this contest and this

LANSING. Mich. Jan. 16-Sen.
Burrell Trip OF Allegan has intro
duced two taxation measures in the
senate OF far reaching effect one
exempts real estate mortgages and
land contracts from taxation but
limits the rate Of interest that may
be charged 10 seven per cent. In the
event a higher rate is charged the
instrument cannot be foreclosed.
Trip entered a similar measure
two years ago and il started bitter
feud in the upper house between he
and former Sen. Walter Taylor of
Kalamazoo. The 1915 bill limited
the interest 10 six per cent
The measure limits the 1911
mortgage tax act which exempts
mortgages from taxation if a regis
try fee one one-half per cent is paid.
The present law has been bitterly
assailed by many organizations but
every attempt to repeal it has fall
ed.
The second measure amends the
bond taxation act of 1915 which ex-
tHlpto loISlSH boiuS rum ldAdlIoli

one-half of one per cent. Trips
measure makes the registry fee pay
able annually.
The 1915 act was bitterly contest
ed and was only passed after once
being voted down in the house Gov.

the bill before finally deciding not
