PETITIONS ASK FOR RELEASE
OF STATE PRISONER.

Dickinson, N. D., March 20.-Peti-
lions are being circulated throughout
the Taylor district getting signatures
which will be presented to the state
board of pardons for the release Of
A. j. Good, sentenced year ago to
1S years in the state penitentiary for
habitual intercourse with his 13-year-
old daughter. In letter addressed
to the town council Good says that he
has yielded to the lash of conscience.
"My punishment and discipline have
been curative. | am repentant. | am
so awakened that shall never prac-
tice a secret sin. l have only one
ambition. | want to get home and
protect my good wife. ! want to help
care for and school my children. |
did not think of the damaging quail
ties of my sin as l now see them.
Remorse, sorrow, shame and regret
have burned through my soul.
The petitions will undoubtedly meet
with scant recognition, as the hy-
pocrisy of the pseudo preacher and
evangelist is to too well known in his
home neighborhood to meet with any
leniency on the part of those who
know him. The state penitentiary is
seemingly the safest place wherein to
care for men of the Good stripe.

MINOT NORMAL SCHOOL

On Friday evening, the Vestalian
Literary Society enjoyed a waffle sup
per served by the members from six
to eight o'clock in the laboratory kit

the utilitarian cooking ability, as in
the disposition of the waffles, or in
the transacting of literary business
which followed the supper. Miss Bry-
son arranged for this delightful di-
version, assisted by the Society ad-
visors.
The evening previous, the Vestal-

PEACHES KILLED IN IDAHO.

J. A. Petit, formerly of Des Laos,
writes the Independent from Parma,
Idaho, that that state has experienced
a very hard winter and that the peach
crop has been ruined. On March ID,
the thermometer stood above which
is cold for Idaho. No farming has
been done in Idaho yet and the spring
is a month behind Mr.. Petit says
he is still interested in his old friends
and would like to see the Mork Lake
items oftener. He expects to visit his
old Ward county friends this spring.

AND HE DOESN'T KNOW.

The Sawyer County Record says:
"Of course, it's none of our business
but we just can't help wondering
what there is about the female form
that keeps some of our young girls
from freezing these cold winter days.
You understand, now, that we don't

She didn't say apparel" either, but
it means that, and the girl who was
talking about the other girl didn't
have on that kind. Anyway she said
she didn't, but had on some hose
that were fully as thick as cigar

see how a girl might powder her

anything about them and it isn't

they powder right good and plenty
all over and then put on a few clothes
to keep the powder from blowing off"

Help for Visiting French Sailors

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: There are many French sailors con-
stantly coming to this port and as their stay
is often short and they never complain or
express their needs these are not always
known in time.
Though warmly clad in general, some of
them are suffering from this extremely cold,
damp weather. which they find harder 20
bear on land than at sea. Sweaters, wrist
lets, etc, would be most welcome to them.
Wool. dark gray preferably, would also be
very acceptable, as there are number OF
knitters who would gladly make the above
articles. Some Of the sailors would sppre-
cate warm mittens with fingers for their
long, cold vigis on board.
All of those who come assiduously to the
club to learn English would b. delighted to
have small notebooks and pocket diction-
aries (English-French and French-English).
The warm clothing is, of course, urgent,
and appeal to the generosity of the friends
OF France to send these practical presents at
once 20 the following address,: Soldiers and

with more enthusiasm. But though there
has been great deal Of talk about ag-
gressive action and the importance Of de-
cisive victory, the most industrious of the
takers have failed hitherto either 20 make
IL clear what course they have in mind or
10 show that the new men arc capable OF
executing their purpose, If, indeed, they
have any. 1t is true that the reformers
have dwelt very earnestly on the advan-
tages Of youth and energy, but how their
energetic young men are to be turned to
account when they get them we are
not told.
1t is hard to resist the conclusion that
the changes have been made largely IN re-
spouse to popular demands caused 10y a
vague discomfort There is every reason
70 believe that the progress made against
the submarine has been steady for some
time past, and no reason TO believe that any
radical reform TO which Sir John Jel!lcoe
was opposed is about TO be established.
The disasters that befell the Scandinavian
conveys do not differ essentially from the
raids on the English coast in the earlier
part of the war, and though on those oc-
casions a panic was imminent. the gov
eminent wisely refused to be moved by
thoughtless criticism.

Educational Shortsightedness
To the Editor OF The Tribune.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: At last the study of foreign languages
has been ordered discontinued in the city
elementary schools. When We realize that
out of one hundred pupils only four will
ever have chance to 90 to high school and
continue said study there, we wonder at the
educational shortsightedness 10 introduce
foreign language study in the lower schools.
1t always was a mere waste OF time and a
cheap catering to political interests.
When we further reflect upon the fact that
construction work as represented in the So
called shopwork in the lower schools amounts
TO only $500 minutes in two years, its entire
length, We wonder at the unbelievable lack
Of insight OF the educational leaders. No
wonder we have an intellectual proletariat
on the one hand and disgruntled and shift
less proetarist on the other hand, both pro-
ducsd by the same educational board, whom
TO crltcise means the prosecution OF every
thinking teacher. ANTI-PRUSSfAN.

a German Peace Plot in France
(From Tho London Daily Telegraph

(From Tho London Daily telegraph
The reports from Paris concerning the
German peace proposals made TO NJ. BRAND,
which have caused debate in the French
Chamber. are correct in some particulars, and
not correct in others. am in a position to
state exactly what happened.
The German proposal to restore Belgium
and cede Alsace-Lorraine on condition Of
concentrations in Russia was not made TO
N. BRAND in Switzerland, because NJ BRAND
never went 20 Switzerland. But it was made
10 him-that is, conveyed TO him-eoniiden-
TALLY by an intermediary in Switzerland, who
went to see him in Paris at the request OF
the German government. may add that this
intermediary was an accredited Belgian diplo-
mat, and he would not have undertaken to
transmit the German proposal had Belgium
not been included in the very first instance.
Secondly, the proposal did not come through
Prince Won Bulow, who never, at any moment,
appeared in the affair as the spokesman Of
his country. 1t came direct from the Ger
man government by the regular diplomatic
channel. ". BRAND, far from accepting the
proposal of a peace at Russia's expense, i'm

Allies must be informed before he would
entertain it or give reply. 1t was at the
express demand Of VI. BRAND that the French
government informed all the Allied govern
ments Of the negotiations begun, and each
government gave its reply with full knowl-
edge Of the case.
| may add that the first Foreign Minister
to be informed was Mr. Balfour, whose per-
sonal view in the very first instance was that
the proposal was unacceptable. He afterward
referred It TO his colleagues, and they coin
cded with his views. The same question was
discussed in Rome, and the same negative
reply was given.
The pourparlers lasted about one month,
beginning about September l and ending Oc-
tober ]. Germany was very anxious TO have
her proposal accepted, and insisted repeat
eddy. The German proposals were on their
face unacceptable, because they not only i'm
piled the annexation of huge slices OF Rus
sian territory, but contemplated no eonces-
sion whatever TO Italy, Serbia or Rumania
and no disavowal OF German militariyn. Her
offer Of financial aid 70 Belgium wss'coupled
with demands for privileges in Antwerp and
military guarantees. The entire proposal
would have been a huge triumph of German
miltArism with vast, ambitious schemes for
the future.

Parties and the War

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Partisan politics during war should
disappear. In times of peace appointments
are naturally made from the members of the
victorious party, as they are the best fitted
TO carry out the theories Of that party. But
during this greatest of all wars there is but
one thought OF all parties-how to defeat
Germany-and there should be no govern
mental energy used unless in some way it
mate rally aids in winning the war. The gov
eminent should place in each position man
Of proved ability who has been successful in
large undertakings and who will inspire con-
fdence. To make these appointments now
from one party is simply a feud idea, and
does rot make for united country.
Lincoln chose Stanton, Democrat, on ac-
count Of his enormous and sagacious energy,
and il there is that kind CT energy at the
source of power in each governmental de-
partment IL will he felt all down the line
and into the trenches. The power must come
from the source or all stand and wait. Give
us bipartisan Cabinet. Bonsr Law and
Bslfour speak with the almost equal Au-
thorty Of Lloyd George.
