LEVITY, BREVITY, CHEER

Once it was accepted that nation must laugh
Countries, like individuals must batten and fatten
on clever bits by clever Wits
At this time, however, after-echo laughter IS
in exceedingly bad taste. There is no situation
that can cause uproarous mirth and levity. II
The sun shines just as brightly but things are
not regarded lightly as heretofore. The nation,
to man, is living to a purpose. ~ a
Where righteousness once held forth and sum-
moned sundry chuckes, brevity replaces levlty
and smiles succeed loud laughs.
This does not mean that the solemnity OF war
should depress US. Rather, we may we'll be elated
with FREEDOM, FOR ALL, FOREVER now in
sight. But that elaton has no relation to revery.
Its expression can best be termed cheer-let's
all feel it, communicate it to Others nurse it as a
spark against the Great Day when Victory Will
flash it to a flame of ecstasy!

SAVING GAS" AND S

One of the chief enemies Of gasoline saving is
the fellow who lets his car or truck motor run
when the machine is standing idle. This practice
seems most common among truck drivers.
Very few trucks are equipped with an electric
starter, consequently if the driver shuts off his
motor on making a stop he il forced to use a
little energy to crank his motor when starting.
Practically every city has an ordinance against
letting motors run when machine is standing
unless responsible person is left in charge These
ordinances should cover all machines and all con-
ditions. 1t should be made unlawful to permit
the motor to run when machine is not in motion
regardless of circumstances or conditions. -
If there is but an extra half-gallon of gasoline
used per day by this uncaled for practice, by elm
mating it it would mean saving on the 100000
cars and trucks in this country of 100000 GAL
tons per day or 912500,000 gallons per year at
financial saving of 1928, 125,o00.
Isn't it worth the while?

The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1918-09-14

Tending it some of our justices seem
dispOsed to follow the lead OF that
case. The reasons OF the decision 90
not all appear in black and white.
Here is the gist of the speciOus rea'
soning: It was not the purpose OF
the statute to punish for substan'
tive offense under the guise of punish.
ing for contempt. At common law IN
summary proceeding the courts nad
power to convict and imprison the
accused for two years. That 1uris.1
diction is inherent in the courts OF
this state eHnce, the statute served
no purpose only to give to the Judges
nerve and backbone-Just think OF II,
two years, in the penitentiary-th
highest penalty. of the statute, and stu
as the court said, 1t was not the pur'
pose to punish for substantive or
tense. n. stN
Alas. Then truth and candor wept.
And at common law no courts new
er exercised any such jurisdiction.
Furthermore, in contempt. cases, the
courts Of this state have never had
any common law Jurisdiction. The ar
bitrary power that judges once exer'
cised as "a part Of the loyal preroga'
tive, was never imported to the Da',
kotas. 1t was,not in keeping with the
western spirit of freedom, equality
and independence. Hence, the statute
does justly fix narrow limit to the
arbitrary power of judges.
Finally, the questions presented are
these:
l.. Was the defendant convicted OF
the crime of keeping . common null
sanse? Ans. Yes >
2. Was he under the statute con-
victed Of, felony and sentenced to
imprisonment for two years? Ans.
Yes. ..-.E ~ ~. 81
8. Was he prosecuted by indict'
ment or information? Ans. No.
4. Did he have trial by jury? Ans.
No. ..2sr:g-y - ~. ."s~
These direct questions and answers
may not be artfully suppressed or dis
tinguished away or ignored; they adj
init OF no dispute, no evasion. no
equivocation. Under the constitution,
as it is, no person may be convicted
of any crime and sent to the peniten-
tiary without trial by jury. Hence.
in this case the trial and conviction
and sentence were in direct conflict
with the fundamental law. snuh

BY statute whenever a district judge
forbids the keeping of such common
nuisance, then any person keeping the
same contrary to the statute and the
order of the court. is guilty OF a crime
named contempt For such offense
person may be prosecuted, convicted
and sentenced to the penitentiary
without any indictment or informa-
ton and without a trial by jury. The
conviction, may be on bogus and hear
say affidavits which are made pre-.
'sumptive evidence of guilt. The &C.
cused may be required to answer
questions. CONCERNING his guilt and to
testify against himself He may be
punished for the first offense and for
the secondsOffense to the same extent
precisely as If no injunctional order
had been issued. This procedure is
recent discovery and most ihsidious
continuance for exading the right Of
trial by jury and for securing a con-
victi0n where jury might fail to
agree A partisan statute names the
crime contempt. and then provides
for trial of the same in p summary
manner. Under the statute when q
person is accused of committing a
crime contrary to law and the order
of the court. his right to trial by
jury is forfeited. The forfeiture de-
ponds on the form Of the accusation
and not on the guilt or innocence OF
the accused. Though the accused be
ever so innocent, he cannot demand
trial by jury. ~ ~ -. y
OF course. the Imprisonment of
two years is for the keeping of a COM
mon nuisance We're it for disregard
inging the order Of the district court.
it would be no bar, to q prosecution
for the real and primary offense., For
that offense the accused would still
be liable to punishment by Indictment
or information, to conviction by a Jury
and to Imprisonment for two. years.
But NO one claims that the purpose OF

Experiments made, in the training

given satisfactory results. The dogs
which have proved most receptive
under instruction are chiefly half

poor breed Of bob-tailed sheep dogs
has also done we'll. All have been
trained to perform their errands
during heavy firing, both rifles and
guns. They can ,7be fred over as

"A GOOD FRONT"

A famous self-made man once declared that II
he were out of job and had only $50, he'd spend
the $50 for new suit of clothes because he knew
how important it was to make a favorable first
impresson-that is, he would put up good
'front.'" 49,"
And that's all right.
But another man-who lived long time ago
but whose influence will probably be felt long
after the elf-made man has forgotten, made this
observation:
IF had two pence, would buy bread with one
and with the other l would buy white hyacinths
for the good of my soul.''
The difference between the two men was that
the one was concerned chiefly about the outer
man. while the other was carful about the inner
man.
Both bits of advice are valuable and both are
necessary But the old sage who advised that the
inner man be built up first was the wiser OF the
two for the soul of man is of greater import

"CROUPY" DAYS ARE NEAR.

The usual case of Group in child is really only
what is known as "fase Group" True Group is
the same as diphtheria. IL
An attack of ordinary Group is preceded by
hoarseness and loud rough cough, which, from
it's peculiar sound has been called "croupy cough.
The attack comes on usually about midnight.
The child is awakened from sound sleep by
coughing and violent efforts to get his breath.
The face becomes blue and presents an anxious
appearance.
These symptoms usually cease abruptly in an
hour or two and the child resumes its sleep. The
attack may occur night after night.
Simple means have a wonderful effect in re-
lieying the spasns. Sometimes merely passing
the finger down the throat will have this effect.
A warm bath may break up an attack. The
best method, however, is to give teaspoon of
tincture Of ipecac, followed by little milk. This
causes vomiting and relieves the condition.
Local applications of ice water or cold COM
press will often prevent attacks.
A mild mustard plaster applied to the throat
and chest may net in the same way.

called Group kettle"
