tuesday. Fenruhry o, 1911.
Astrologers read this as a doubtful
day. While the Sun rules kindly in the
early hours, Uranus and Mars are strong
ly adverse later.
1t is a day held to be fairly lucky for
those who seek positions or solicit aid in
obtaining appointments. Those who ex-
pect preferment from the government
should benefit
There is a sign read as rather sinister
for women who work with men and 1t is
interpreted as forecasting a new rivalry
between the sexes, owing to increase OF
competition.
Teachers have sway giving promise
of high attainment for educators, who
will profit greatly in the next few years.
Under this rule the giving of presents
should be especially fortunate. This
benefit applies also to favor of any sort.
which may be bestowed while this con-
figuration prevails.
According to the seers, there are forces
at work in the United States that make
for increases of selfshness and material
ambition. which will be a national menace
after the attainment of world peace
Women have a menacing sign, 1t is an
nounced, wherever they use money they
do not earn"
1t Is a most unlucky rule for long jour
neys or for changes and removals Of any
sort.
Mexico still has the most unsettled out
look and again it is foretold that the COM
ing summer will be a period of blood
shed or at least increased trouble.
Fires in public buildings, especially
those housing wards OF county or State,
are likely to increase as the month pro-
crosses.
This may be a week of sensations in
Congress. Committees Of Investigation
may be appointed.
Socialists again have the direction max
ing for gains and increase Of power.
Inventions that perform wonders will
mark the next few months, it is again
prophesied. and aerial navigation will be
utilized for commercial ends.
Persons whose blrthdate 1t Is have the
ausury Of a quiet year. They may expect
disappointments, but they should be care
full to guard the health.
Children born on this day will have
many friends In all probability. These

Be Fair.

There is much that is analogous
in the situation of the inhabitants OF
the territory of Alaska and the citi-
zens (?) of the District of Columbia.
There is much, also, that is far from
similar, in the conditions with regard
to suffrage in the rich territorial
possession of the United States, ac-
quired from Russia, and that which
confronts those who live within the
shadow of the Nations Capitol.
When the House of Represent
atives last week voted Alaska into
the dry column by a majority that
left no doubt as to the sentiment OF
Congress on this question, it was in
fuenced largely by the remarks OF
James Wickersham, of Fairbanks,
Alaska. Delegate Wickersham told
Congress that Alaska had voted over
whelmingly in favor of the Danish
ment of all intoxicants from the terri
tory. His speech furnished the
strongest argument in favor of pro-
hibition for Alaska and there was no
strong counter argument. Mr.. Wick
ersham has no vote in Congress. He
has, however, voice, and that voice
has been used vigorously and with
marked ability In expressing the
wishes of the constituency he rep
resents.
. Unfortunately, the District OF
Columbia today lacks the same
privilege of representation, the same
voice in Congress and the same con-
sideration from one who is an inti-
mate part of its life, as one of the
more recent and yet undeveloped
territorial possessions of the United
States.
Here is something for Congress to
consider. Today it takes up the mat
ter of prohibition for the National
Capital of the United States. There
is no doubt that the forces which
have been advocating prohibition
would consider it a wonderful vic
tory if they could force their cause
upon the people of the District-un-
willing or otherwise.
Such a course is hardly founded
upon equity. The people of every
other city in the United States have
the opportunity to pass upon such a
vital question affecting their welfare.
Why not the people of Washington,
who live here twelve months in the
year, and who are concerned equally
as much as members of Congress,
in the surroundings in which they
will bring up their children and in
which they will live?
This is large question and the
people OF Washington at least should
be given the opportunity to pass upon
IT. There is not member of the
House and Senate but would pro-
test to the utmost any attempt to
force such restrictions on any indi-

Our First Problem,

nc acid test OF AmcricanlSm Is
Just ahead Of us. II seems that the
integrity of our national life is not
to go unchallenged The subtle, sim
lister forces of division are not work
ing in the open, but in dark subter-
ranean channels, where the evil that
they wreak is not to be accurately
measured now.
1t is foolish to indict a race or any
branch of race that has accepted
asylum from hospitable America, and
pledged its loyalty to our institu-
tions. There is no intention on our
part of doing so,
But the facts of the case are not to
be blinked at. The facts are these:
An anti-American, dissension-
breeding propaganda, aggressively
active for many years, is forced into
silence by the rupture with Germany
but its effects. its highly developed
belligerency of attitude, are not. The
propaganda may be chokcd but its
offspring in many minds-minds cas-
lily infamed-will live on like the in
fection of a wound which defes a
normal healing process.
Disaffection may be confined to a
comparative handful of persons, but
they are enough to cause the govern
ment serious concern. The public
does not know the real situation
There are recesses and corridors OF
intrigue which the blistering glare oi
publicity never has touched and per
haps never will.
When the "cleaning-up" process
comes, many innocent persons may
be bruised and broken by it, but all
true Americans will pray to heaven
that mistakes will be rare, that intol-
Grant suspicion and persecution be
suppressed, that the mantle of char
ity and sympathy be extended to
those who are passing through the
ordeal of fre-of character-testing
heart-breal<ing hre-at this moment
But there must and will be house
cleaning. The government is prepar-
ing for it. The elements bred by the
mailed fist must be dealt with by the
mailed fist. Tinidity and the easy
going tolerance of peace times must
be banned from the administrative
gospel in times such as these. They
will be.
There is a heart-searching time
ahead of US. A new ritual of Amer
icanism is to be written. Our tradi-
ton of slipshodiness-a tradition
which has made even our patriotism
more a matter Of sentiment than oi
duty and obligation-is going to be
wiped out.
Those who try to retard this work
who mutter and hold back and
straddle the issue-are going to be
hurt. Those who traffic in politics,
who mask their alienism under insid-
ious forms, will find that the aroused
American is as deadly a person to
monkey with"-as you can find in a
trip to Jericho and back again.

BRISK DEBATE
ON DEBUT Of a
IN THE SENATE
Question AS To Printing of Peti.
tions and Communications
...,.> ~. in Journal ..,
CHICKEN BILL GOES BACK
TO GAME AND FISH BOARD
Probable That Measure Will Be
Rewritten Second Tine
Before Final

House bill No. 44-thc new constitu-
tion-had barely made its debut in the
senate Saturday when it Indirectly be-
came the subject OF a brisk debate
which gives promise Of much real ex-
element when the bill itself comes be-
fore the upper house for consideration.
The first clash came when Senator
Paulson sent to the desk two COM
munications received from constitu-
ents in Trail county referring to the
league program as socialistic and urg-
ing the senators not TO concur in the
action of the house OIL bill No. a..
After the communications had been
read motion was made that they be
printed at length in the senate journal.
A Lacquer then moved that petitions
fayoring the passage of house bill No.
"A also be printed in full in the jour-
nal Senator Jacobson suggested that
in printing league petitions. which are
all in similar form, the preamble be
omitted and the names only inserted.
1e also insisted that all petitions or
none be printed. This motion carried,
q to Fl. e.,
Charges Dissemination.
This brought a charge of discrim-
nation from Senator Drown, who con-
tended there was as much justification
for printing in full communications IA
voring the league as there was in
spreading at length in the journal
communications opposed to the league,
H. ,k1k >I hot Vtn
pense or of encumbering the journal
had arisen when the motion was made
to print Senator Paulsons letters.
Senator Martin believed that house
bill No. "a was the most vital piece OF
legislation with which any body Of
North Dakota law makers ever con-
cerned itself; that the people through
out the state are Interested in it's fate,
and that all petitions for and against
the bill should be printed in full.
After considerable warm discussion,
Senator Hyland, referring to the
"stocl1 petitions of the NOn-Partisan
Leader moved that all remarks and
motions be expungcd from the record,
and the matter was dropped.
Finally the original motion, twice
amended, passed, decrceing that all
petitions for and against the bill be
printed in the journal in an abbrcv-
hated form, merely Stating whence
each petition came, whether for or
! against the measure, and the number
of names contained.
Chicken Bill Goes Back.
The much disfgured chicken bill,
which the senate was to have consid-
cred in committee of the whole, by
unanimous consent was returned to
the fish and game committee, whence
it probably will come almost entirely
re- written.
Special Order.
House bill No. 26, concurrent reso-
luton referring to the United States
department of agriculture the findings
of Dr.. i. f. Ladd as to the relative
Touring value Of various grades of
wheat and asking that new standards
for grading be established, remains a
special order of business for today.
