MAJORITY OVERRIDE
STATE CONSTITUTION

The adoption of House Bill go,
which 'precipitated Mondays fight,
and which would declare all acts Of
this session emergency legislation eff
fective within 10 days; the tabling
of concurrent resolution introduced
by minority members Of the commit
tee on delayed bills, demanding the
investigation of William Lemke, vice
president of the National Nonpartisan
league, for alleged lobbying; the be-
ginning of retrial Of the alleged Sar-
gent county election frauds Of a year
ago, whose first milling over resulted
in all of the ballots in Forman cleo
tion being thrown out, the unseating
of Peter Weber, independent, and the
seating Of Frank Riba, Lacquer; the
adoption of a new budget bill which
reduced appropriations made at the
last regular session $581 900; the pas
sage Of a bill which reduces all state
taxes, except the hail insurance and
soldiers bounty levies, rs per cent,
and the adoption Of a report from
Attorney General LANCER, declaring
he had Investigated alleged election
frauds in Sargent county as directed
by the last assembly and had found
no grounds for criminal prosecution
were high. lights of busy but not
over-exciting day in the house.
The emergency legislation" bill
was passed by vote of &C to Al,
Reishus, one of the minority men,
being absent. The ayes were not the
two-t thirds required to pass an emer-
gency clause which would give this
bill immediate effect, but the passage
Of the bill is held to give this meas
urs immediate effect upon other
measures which it gives immediate
effect. Burtness suggested that it
would be SIMPLER for the legislature
to repeal the, constitutional amend
ment approved by the people one year
ago requiring a two-thirds vote to
give legislation immediate effect, but
the majority did not agree with him.
Twitchell of Cass, led a vigorous at
tack upon the new budget bills, which
bites deep into the appropriations of
state officials opposing Townley. The
state auditor loses $48,500 of his
$71 600 appropriation for the bien-
mum; the attorney general is shorn
of 9,700 of his $4,000 appropriation
and is left with only $4,000 for the
next 13 months, or, Twitchell said,
presuming that he has already spent
one-fourth Of his original appropria-
ton, with only $4,000 for the next
year and half. There is a deep bite
into the secretary of states funds,
and the state superintendent of public
instruction suffers several severe
cuts.
"This S5Sl 297 is being taken out Of
:, the budget merely to put out Of bust
ness state departments established
by the constitution" Twitchell assert
ed. ..g.
AS the direct reverse of its action
on the budget, the house few min
utes later, concurred in an amend
nent to Senate Bill az, which would
increase the emergency commissions
fund from $4,000 to $4,000. -.

Y. c. BOWLERS WIN
FROM TOWER CITY

Tower City sent it's crack bowling
team to our city last night and a
cracking good bowling match VISA
pulled off at The Club alleys.
This is the first time the Tower City
boys have been entered in match
game this season and their appearance
here developed the fact that they are
a bunch CT mighty good boWlers and
but for the presence Of snerv vousness on
the part Of some of the younger bowl
ers, they would have taken Valley City
into camp with ease.
III. Ploof of the Tower City team
was easily the star Of the evening,
rolling three scores that averaged 572
or a total average for the three games
Of 191. His high score for the eve
ming was 1913.
Matt Krogh, the veteran Valley City
bowler, still retained his reputation
for steadiness and, consistent hitting
by taking first position for the locals,
even though he only averaged shade
over 169 for the three games, and his
high game was only 1873.
The following table will fully tell
the story, and at the same time should
not discourage any of the younger
local talent who have aspirations to
make the first team.
The next matched game at The Club
will be on Friday evening when the In
ternational Club will take on the next
best team in the city regardless of
size, weight or age.
Last nights score is as follows:

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

A short faculty program was given
Friday morning, Dec. 6. The stu
dents appreciation was showed by the
! fact that each number was encored.
| The program was as follows:
Vocal Solo-Miss Jones.
Reading-Miss Perry.
! Johnson and Zazel.
The Senior class have selected their
class play which is to be presented
some time in January and practices
are to begin Immediately. They do
not wish the title Of the play to be
published yet but the mere fast that it
is supported by cast of nineteen
characters and that it will take at
least two hours and half to give it
are sure proof that it will be we'll
worth seeing. Those who saw the
play 'Diamonds and Hearts" last year
realize the exceptional talent OF this
class and with few of the stars OF
the play 1T Pays to Advertise which
was presented two years ago the play
this year has splendid possibilities Tor
a great success. The play Is under
the direction of Miss Perry who has
put on several entertainments hereto
fore which have. been very successful.
The Sophomore class gave short
program Wednesday morning. 1t was
Of the nature of family album only

of the students and faculty were rep
resented in a very comical way. The
program was very amusing to those
who witnessed it. The sophomore
class is beginning to show some real
class pep and is giving the other class
es some real competition.
Two short talks were given Tues
day morning. The first was the Ar
menian question by Elsie 1ule and the
second was a discussion on the avia-
tion examinations given by Ronald
WRIGHT. Both were instructive and
well presented modern topics. !,
The Seniors are rejoicing over the
fact that the long looked for class
rings have finally arrived. However
they will not be ready for Distribution
until January first as they are to be
initiated by local dealer. The class
has made an exceptionally good selec-.
ton and it is hoped that every one
will be satisfied.
The Junior class gave another one
Of their fine programs Friday morn
ing. It consisted Of the Junior class
song followed by a series OF short
talks. The Juniors have the reputa-
tion of being the peppiest class in
High school and so far have been able
to hold this position with very little
fear Of losing it. With the beginning
Of the third term however the other
classes are beginning to show their
true colors and the class receiving
frst place this term will have to work
with all the spirit and ingenuity they
have in them.

NEVER Gets COLD
OUT WEST, NO!

Spokane, Dec. 12.-Sweeping down
out of Canada, a cold wave that yes
terday accompanied blizzard condi-
tions today held the Pacific north
west in its grip and extended over the
Rocky mountains into eastern Mon
tana. Everywhere in this territory
sub-normal temperatures were report
ed, and from almost every part of it
came reports that the thermometer
had dropped below zero. In many
cases new low records were establish
ed. Temperatures in most cases had
moderated somewhat before night, but
the forecast for tonight and tomorrow
was continued cold or even lower tenn
peratures.
3 Seattle reported 13 degrees above
zero, new low record, early today
and Tacoma reported SO degrees
above. Unofficial reports at Portland
showed two above, with the William
cite river frozen for the third time
in the memory Of white men. Across
the Columbia river, Vancouver,
Washington, reported 10k degrees
below zero, with the river frozen.
At Yakima, in central Washington,
a temperature Of % degrees below
zero was believed by fruit men to
have killed peach tree buds, although
it was believed apples had escaped.
At Walla Walla four degrees below
zero was reported.
Temperatures here today reached
Is below, new low record for the
last ten years. Eastern Washington
and northern Idaho points generally
reported sub-zero temperatures.
Bovill, Idaho, reported SO below;
Wallace, Idaho, II below, and New
port, Wash, % degrees below.
Twenty eight degrees below at
Butte, was the coldest for. Montana,
with Billings reporting rs below,

SPECIAL LECTURES
GIVEN TO WOMEN

The young women of the Normal
School have had, this week, through
the courtesy of the National Young
Women's Christian Association the
splendid opportunity of hearing four
excellent lectures on Social Education
DR.. Abbie Virginia Holmes, one Of the
staff lecturers Of the National Board
Of the Y. w. G. A., sent out by the.
War Work Council in it's campaign Of
education for young women talked to
the girls on the business Of being a
woman from the physical, mental,
emotional, and social phases of this
subject.
From her experience Of about twen-
ty years practice in medicine Dr.
Holmes came to the girls as one hav-
ing authority in the subject which she
treats. This authoritative knowledge
together with her pleasing personal
ity were the means of winning a con-
,fdent hearing from her auditors.
We have greatly condensed the first
lecture or talk Of the speaker into a
paragraph or two. 1t was made the
basis for the discussion of the talks
which were given later in the week
and was more general in its applica-
ton. I'D
The business of being men and wo-
men in the fullest sense of the term
is the greatest business in the world.
The war revealed to the people Of the
United States the absolute necessity
Of education in problems of physical
fitness. The Government has taken
action in campaign of education
among it's troops, and in providing
moral safety for its fighters.
Reverence for the sacredness of sex
must be taught and approached from
a background Of science. Each one
must be brought to a realization Of
his personal responsibility. Youth is
entitled to knowledge of life in its
processes of development and must
be taught to the young as they are
able to comprehend it in manner
both beautifully and scientifically. The

PL0YAR GETS BOOST
FOR GOVERNOR

The Devils Lake Journal mentions
our senator in connection with the
governorship which is very nice. The
Journal, however, is greatly mistaken
about the lack of harmony among the
members of the l. V. A. There is the
best kind Of feeling among them, and
not only that there is an optimistic
feeling that they are going to win at
the next election. But we are not 60
ing to argue that at this time. Here
is what they say:
With spirited campaign in: pro-
gress in Towner county, in which
statewide interest is being taken by
politicians of all parties, with Devils
Lake as the gateway to the battle
field, there is no end of the political
gosip flying hither and thither. From
the I. v. A. side the most important
announcement is that Senator Frank
E. Ployhar of Valley City, is to be the
candidate for governor. While the
Barnes county statesman is not the
unanimous choice of all the |. V. A..
it is said that he is favored by great
majority and that opponents cannot
stem the tide that is going his way,
Friends of Ployhar point to the fact
that he is the least offensive of the
Nv. A. possibilities, and they are will
ing to stand on his legislative record
Of the past years in making a cam
paign.
The story also goes that the |. V: a.
outfit has plenty Of money and plen-
ty Of everything except harmony, OF
which they have none to spare 1t
seems. There is an element that thor
oughly distrusts Tko-Bit Nelson and
they are determined that he and his
kind shall be "ditched." The same IN
fluence is also none too well satisfied
with the Ludendorf organ at Fargo
and Bacon's Herald at Grand Forks,
and unless a new deal is made the /.
v. A. is due for big blow up before
it gets started.

WANTS TO KNOW
ABOUT GAS PLANT

What has been done on that Gas
Plant deal? It seems to be kept aw-
fully quiet. Why is it so quiet Why
not let the public know a little about
i;t--just a little. 1t seems that some
thing ought to have been done in a
three months investigation. The gas
consumer has to pay regularly his
monthly gas-bill. He is very much in
terested in this. Nothing interests a
man much more than that which
touches his pocketbook, unless he has
more money than he cares to keep. !
should think the gas consumers should
have little say in this. But they
can't say anything unless they know
something about it. Please open up
and let us know. We can't learn any
too much. Don't be afraid to give us
the truth, the whole truth and nothing
but the truth. Maybe you think it
wouldn't be good for us, because we
wouldn't know enough to know wheth-
er a thing is good or not. Well, may
be and maybe not. If you members
of the city council think you have a
monopoly on the wisdom, allow me to
suggest that you are laboring under
IdlSe nOClOH. II YOU, WIN shHoW Ciio
facts about this deal are unable to de-
eide it may be that we, the common
people, who pay the bills, may be able,
after we learn the facts to give a few
pointers. A wise man can some
times learn from fool. In other
words fool may be pretty wise
sometimes, and the wise men not so
wise at all times.
May we not then ask for some IN
formation on this subject?
