REGULATING THE LEMON.

The fruits Of our misfortune just now are
oranges and lemons.
Influenza has revealed to us the true nature of
the gentleman from whom we always secured our
juicy deserts. It believers us to hand our
swarthy-skinned purveyor' Of saffron-skinned
fruits his "just deserts
Oranges have hit the 2O-cents-per-each mark.
Lemon prices catapulted from low as IL cents to
so cents dozen.
The exploded explanation is the unusual de-
mand due to the flu and below-normal crop of
citrus fruits
The shortage Of supply, under ordinary condi-
tons, might affect the price slightly. The un-
usual demand could be met with limited sales to
separate customers
The increased call lessons by waste through de-
terioration Of stock. It likewise lowers selling
cost. So instead of imitation, prices should have
remained stable even though shortage actually
exists
The federal trade commission has limited profits
TO two ard three cents the spherical seedless'

THE WOMEN DID IT.

Miss Minnie Nelson's strength developed at the
election and the defeat of Macdonald is reflected
in the early returns This was the women's part
in the election and it isssalamentable that their
power did not extend to every office on the ballot.
The results might have all squared with Miss
Nelson's vote. While it may be too early to pre-
dict beyond question her election every indication
points that way She is running as high as six to
one in some of the cities and in the country she
has made such inroads on Macdonalds support
that when all the votes are counted it seems like
ly the props will be completely knocked from ur-
dor him and socialistic influences removed from
the state department Of public instruction.

M'CURDY'S FIGHT.

McCurdy is on top in early returns and it may
take the soldiers ballots to decide that close fight.
The victim Of dirty sordd political chicanery, he
made one of the most brilliant counter attacks in
the history Of county politics.
The Allen-Patterson crowd turned their gas
shells loose the eleventh hour and resorted to the
tactics which have made their alliance notorious
in this county. Those who care to consult the
records can do so.
Forces of clean government, and advocates OF
fair play in politics hope that the devices of this
alliance will fail If strict attention to duty must
defeat states attorney in Burleigh county, then
it is time for Burlegh county to take political
stock and work against that day when such tao
tics cannot triumph.
But our fighting states attorney is not defeated
yet He will be in the fight until the last ballot
is counted Then his hosts Of friends hope to see
him go over the top.
At any rate, victorious or defeated his record
is clean and in any event he retains the respect of
majority of the citizens of Bismarck who despise
the political tactics which too long have; charac-
terized county politics.

Editor Tribune:
Dear Sir: Your heart was right
when you denounced booze day or
two aeo. May 90 a step farther and
say that you were legally right as
we'll, Prohibition is written into the
! constitution OF the state Of North d.
kota. The honest, law abiding con-
scientious citizen, will obey that law
even although it may deprive him OF
what he believes he is sentitled to un-
der ordinary circumstances.
This article In the constitution cOv-
ers all that the bone dry. law covers.
The bone dry law was enacted simply
to prevent the booze-fghting, hear-
drinking and wine-bibbing judges and
lawyers, ct al, from defeating the pro-
hibition law by resorting to techni-
calities, etc, and down right disre-
gard for all law where there Is Il
booze thirst there is no law. The man
who is looking for loop hole through
which to violate the prohibition clause
of the state constitution is. one who
confesses that his thirst has vastly
more weight with him than the vel
fare Of the less informed and less self
reSLrdlllCu pcOptC VI IIAAS SIAeC' wiz
need the protection which this law
gives. Unwittingly the Honorable
judge may have started something
that will come Gathering down on the
devoted heads of the booze friends OF
this state. ~.
It is UP to the next legislature to
see to it that the present, or u more
drastic bone dry prohibition law is
placed on our statute books as the ma
jority Of the people Of this state, de-
mand: -.
The man who thinks that he is freed
from legal obligation because the bone
dry law has not been properly enacted
is not freed from his obligation to
obey the constitutions.
No .subterfuge can free him from the
legal and moral obligation he is I'M
der to obey the prohibition law now
part Of the constitution Of this state.
If the so-called% Respectable, even
honorable, high lights, of this state
can't contain themselves without their
booze, why don't they get out of here?
