BOOZE AND Flu.

Fortunately, the constitution of North Dakota
is still in effect, and Attorney General LANCER,
for a few months more, at least, has not the
power to suspend any law which has been signed
by Governor Frazier and formally. placed on the
statute books. Attorney General Langer's order
partially suspending the bone dry statute during
the period of the present emergency is Of less
value than the paper it is written on. The att-
tude Of mind which led the attorney general to
issue his proclamation is revealed, but aside from
that the incident is Of no Importance.
It is regrettable that North Dakota should re-
sort to fraud for such worthy legislation as the
bone dry act. The Tribune does not believe such
underhanded methods necessary, or advisable. The
Tribune trusts and urges that the next legislative
assembly will re-enact the bone dry statute and
make it unassailable. In the meantime that act
is still in full force and effect, without regard to
anything Attorney General LANCER may say to the
contrary. Mr.. LANCER cannot by public proclama-
ton suspend the operation of any law. ".

WITH THE EDITORS
THAT'S NOTHING.

Attorney General LANCER has suspended the
constitution without any legislative action during
this influenza epidemic and says that liquors can
be shipped into the state for medicinal purposes
If the attorney general can do this at his own
sweet will there is nothing to prevent him from
suspending the whole constitution at will. Why
not leave the whole matter Of a new constitution
to LANCER and save all this talk and bother. You
read in one place where learned physician says
that liquor is bad for people and then another
comes along and says it is great medicine, and
there you are.-Valley City Times Record.

BISMARCK'S ARMISTICE.

While the subject of armistices is under consid-
GRAFTON, it might be we'll to examine what Ger
many considers the right kind of armstce to give
defeated enemy
Here are some of the terms Bismarck imposed
on the French in the Franco-Prussian war:
An armistce of twenty-one days. za%
disarmament of the French army, the SOL
diers to remain in Paris as prisoners of war
3-The soldiers to give up arms and banners,
but officers to keep their swords. -
4-Paris to pay an indemnity and give up its
forts to the Prussians.
5-The Germans not to enter Paris during the
armistice. ssa
That was Bismarck's idea of an armistice and
it was enforced despite the fact that there were
still French armies in the field outside Paris, de-
termined to continue the war for better terms
The peace terms included the ceding Of Alsace-
Lorraine, an indemnity of billion dollars which
was an unheard Of sum for those days, and per-
mission for German troops to march through the
streets of Paris in token of complete victory. This
last was typical Prtlssian touch, and 10000 Ger
man troops did parade the streets for forty-eight
hours.
Today the same Germany pleads for peace that
will not humiliate the fatherland.- Fargo Forum.

FOR THE PEACE COUNCIL-BRUSsELS

Before MANY months the allies will summon the
hest leaders of their respective nations 10 peace
conference to discuss the terms to be imposed
upon beaten Germany
Where will the conference be held? No one has
vat Given that questions thought. In fact, at flrst
thought, it may not seem an important problem.
There is London, the worlds metropolis, where
tho balkan wars were settled-or, rather, NOI
settled. And there is The Hague, which enters
everyone's mind in connection with peace negotla-
tons because it is the seat of The Hague tribunal,
which never succeeded in pacifying anything
But there is far more appropriate place Tor
holding the peace conference than London The
Hague or any other city-that is Brussels, the
capital Of Belgium!
Brussels, soon to be re-entered by the valofous
Belgian army, was the first capital to shake and
shudder beneath the heel Of the Hun invader
II was the scene of one Of the most dramatic
episodes in all history, that momentous Aug. a,
1914, when heroic King Albert walked before his
parliament and, in speech that will ring down
the corridors of time, hurled his brave defiance at
Germany.
It was one of the most imposing structures in
the world devoted to the great cause OF freedom
the very symbol of democracy and liberty-the
famous Palace of Justice, whose stately assembly
halls and court rooms were defled and turned into
barracks for filthy Hun soldiers by the ruthless
invader.
Is there is in the world any more fitting assem-
bly, hall for the meetings of the epochal tribuna
which is to decide the fate Of the world?
And how natural and appropriate a tribute il
would be to the lberty-loving Belgians, who have
suffered greater agony at the hands of the Hur
than any other people, to mete punishment t.
their tormentors in the city which for generation:
will remain the symbol of Germany's Creates
shame!

THE HUN THREAT.

Germany has captured two American soldiers
carrying shotguns.
The Huns don't like shotguns-not in the hands
of Yank!
And the German government has sent ult-
n1atum to the United States threatening to shoot
every American soldier captured if shotgun or
shotgun ammunition is found on him.
Kaiser Bill says that shotguns in warfare are
forbidden by The Hague convention.
The real truth is that The Hague convention
permits the use of shotguns rather than the high
powered army rifle in general war police work and
in guarding prisoners
Shotguns are being used by Yanks lover there"
for those purposes.
But even if they were used to blaze path to
Berlin, what right has the arch murderer Of all
history to protest? What right of protest has the
Hun who scorned all rules and laws laid down by
The Hague convention which did not please him :?
The imperial government of Germany has torn
up solemn treaties; warredL on non-combaants,
nurses wounded babies violated international law
and tramped upon honor, truth, justice and right.
And now this Hun, with his hands dyed red in
honest peoples blood, with his pockets filled with
stolen booty, and his frightfu record of criminal
ity talks Of The Hague convention!
The Hague convention meant nothing to the
Hun and means nothing to him now if it stands
between him and the gratifying of his beastial de-
sires and his greed
We devoutly pray that our government will not
take away one shotgun from the Yanks.
We hope that our government will see fit to send
this warning to the Huns who fear our shotguns:
For every American soldier you slay because
he has shotgun or shotgun ammunition we will
shoYrGN e NAN OFFICERS! For every
rep4 you make we will make FIVE! We have

CONFIDENCE.

l. Are you easily dissuaded, readily persuaded to
change your mind, to alter your views, to amend
your decisions, to in policy, opinions plans
In this world of Kaleidoscope change, cross
current influences necessarily assail; they decoy,
detract or defect US from the path of predeter-
mined purpose.
There is one possession which insures undis-
turbed poise and undeterred pursuit of any pre-
scribed objective. 1t establishes unsuitable firm
ness, resoluteness that accomplishes the end
originally designed.
Confidence is the key. Build it develop it; seek
less assurance from without, gain reinsurance
from within. Be self-sufficient.
Confidence brings adherence to convictions de-
spite their confictions with views Of others cacu-
lated to revoke them.
Confidence is the offspring of faith in self and
in ones work. Confidence is born Of belief in per-
sonal power and in that which is sought of attain
ment. ''
To be well-to-do, found the will-to-do on basis
of confidence. Ambition commences, confidence
carries through. LESS conddants, more conf.
dence" is a rule the successful man rigidly OBJ
serves.

The King Got His.

Solomon. a London musician, had
as pupil King George II. One day,
when the king had not distinguished
himself by great practice or skill In
playing, the teacher gave him the fol-
lowing classification Of fiddlers. "Fid-
dlers, your majesty, may be divided
into three classes: To the first belong
those who cannot play at all; to the
second those who play badly; and to
the third those who play well. You,
sire, have already reached the second
class"

The Spectacular Hall FizzIe.
Then, when the attorney general
came to arrest Secretary Hall on the
groundless charge of embezzlement
he was so anxious to do it in q spec.
tacular way that he had Hall arrested
and taken from his bed at midnight
and put the state to the great ex-
pense OF needless prosecution, which
was manifestly groundless. So when
he made the Minot raid, it had to be
done at midnight and not in decent,
orderly manner. 1t was done in such
way that he himself became the
chief criminal and had to induce the
governor to give him bodyguard Of
soldiers to protect him from arrest.
Has Not Kept His Word.
Thus far have refrained from say
ing anything Ill OF Mr., LANCER, but
on last Saturday / stated the facts
OF the case to him and showed him
that the bone dry statute is fake
and that his plain duty was to tele-
graph the express companies to re-
ceive and carry all orders for LIQUOR
to any part Of the state. He assured
me that he would do 1t. But he has
not kept his word or made an excuse
for not doing it. Now, of course. Mr..
LANCER has paid a high price for the
votes OF the extra drys, which he
seems to value more than the lives
OF the people, He may be reelected;
but he may never again bring anoth-
er prosecution under that fake statute.
and If reelected, he must conduct his
office decently and in accordance
with the law, without any more grand
stand plays, When the office of
states attorney is not conducted in
spirit OF humanity and fairness, it
becomes public nuisance and curse
instead of a blessing.

executing skillful retreat, do not admit their

NEW YORK. March 23.-He who

Bodie will tell you so.
For a good many seasons the
laugh has been on BOdie. He has
been made the butt of column con-
ductors and a standing joke among
baseball writer's throughout the
country, but particularly in the big
leagues where jOshing would ruin
many a player.

wasn't what might be called a split

proficient in covering ground. either
They used TO say that Ping could
cover more ground that any other
fielder IN the big shows-sitting

But with all Of the joshing Ping

Turned back to the minors he con-
tinued 10 hammer the daylights out

work for the ground keepers i'm re-
pairing fences in the Coast league
than any other player who ever took
picks or a fast one in his favorite
groove. So finally Ping came back.
Connie Mack believed that Bodie
was not handled as well as he might
have been when a member of the
SoX. So he brought Ping back TO the
big show. and his record with the
Athletics last season shows pretty
well. He slammed the ball around

His curve ball was breaking per

Even with this break of luck the
big fellow turned in a score of 2O3
for his first game. In the tenth
frame Of the second game Sharkey
pulled a 2-1O split. but came RICH:
back and knocked it off. This
youngster is without doubt the class
