NORTH DAKOTA MAY
Be WET FOR WHILE

Bismarck, N. D., Oct. 29.-Presi-
dent Wilson's veto of the pr0hibi-
,tion enforcement act today means
that North Dakota will lreverr to
the status maintaining before July
1, 1917, in the opinion of lawyers
here, provided congress does not
override the presidents veto.
In other words, they opine, that
from "wet" spots that have been
dry since June 80 this year, and
are now to become "wet" again Tor
two months, thirsty North Dakotans
may ship drinkables in for their
own personal use.
North Dakota's bone dry, statute
was declared invalid by the supreme
court last summer thru. a flaw in
the, passage of the act by the fif-
teenth assembly. Lawyers contend
that because Of that fact shipments
may be made from wet territory for
personal use only during the two
months which Wilson lifted the
drouth.
There was some question as to the
working of the Webb-Kenyon act.
It was thought by lawyers, however,
that this would not affect North Da-
kota. The federal statute bans in
terstate shipments of liquor on COM
mon carriers, it was opined, only
where transportation for personal
consumption is specifically banned
by local statutes.

TEACHERS INSTITUTE
HERE NOVEMBER 10

/, County Superintendent G. H.
Hecht is now making arrangements
for holding teachers institute in
Bowbells for week commencing on
November 10, during which time it
is expected that at least rs teachers
from out of town will be present.
Instructions will be given the teach
ers at several places at the same
time in order that all of the sew
eral Instructors be kept busy during
every day of the. institute, and it is
believed that the court room, as. well
as one room in the Bowbells school
building. and possibly some other
building will be used at the same
time.3 Owing to large number Of
teachers that are expected here at
one time Mr.. Hecht asks that all
Bowbells people who can spare. a
room or two for this week kindly
notify him, as the chances are that
it will be difficult to find rooms for
everyone at that time. Further in
formation in regard to the institute
will be given in the next issue of

MEETING M|sREP8E:
SENTtD BY |. Y. A.

Senator Ralph, Ingerson, who is
president OF the Flaxton Farmers
Mutual Insurance Co., and E. j..
Marks, the secretary of the corpor-
alton, were in the city a few days
ago for the purpose of getting a lot
of. printing done for a special as
sessment which had been, levied on
all policy holders in the company,
and while here the gentlemen gave
Tie Tribune the right dope on that
monster Nonpartisan meeting held
OF Fargo on Tuesday: OF last week.
Both gentlemen We're present at
the several meetings held: They
were both there with the ffrgt ar.
rivals and staid until the last dog
was hung. They told US that all
the. rot which ha' been In the I. V.
A. sheets like the Powers Lake
Echo and the Portal International
in regard to the attendance being
small, the call for money strong,
and the response small, was all lies.
Both gentlemen thought it funny
that the degenerates who publish
this rot would even try to get by
with it. They told us that in spite
of the fact that the weather was
threatening the attendance was
much larger than what was. expect
ed even if the weather had been
favorable. The large auditorium
which seats, $500 people was jam
med full long before the first meet
ing was scheduled to take place.
The wide aisles were filled with peo-
pie standing up, but still only about
half OF those present could get in.

D., on Nov. %, 1919 as a result Of
which it is expected to mako certl-
fication to fill Contemplated va
cancy in the position of fourth class
postmaster at Niobe ana other va
cancies as they may occur at that
office. unless it shall be decided in
the interests of the service to f1ll

compensation of the postmaster ut

cal year.
Applicants must have reached

court declared.

. Another rebuke for Lagner and
Hall was contained in the courts
opinion relating to- their statements
that the list of loans in the bank ag-
gregated $74O,000 which they as
sumed to be secured by insufficient
and improper collateral consisting
largely of farmers notes and post
dated checks. "The contention Is
made that a post dated>check is not
collateral, and that farmers notes
should not be estimated at over SO
per- cent of their value. To support
q conclusion in this regard they
have simply hearsay statement
that large amount of such farmers
paper did not pay out, or paid up
poorly This hear say statement
contained in the record is denied
by the persons whom, they state,
were the authors thereof.
Farmers' Paper Good
There is much evidence in the
record as we'll as in the report of
the state examiner that this farm
ers paper is good collateral; that
there is a good margin of safety on
the security offered, and that uni
formly it has paid out we'll in from
rs per cent to t85 peracent.. There
is neither reason nor justification
foE declaring farmers paper to be
worth only so per cent Of its value.
There is no more reason for declar-
ing farmers paper to. be of a certain
percentage of value than there is for
declaring lawyers, doctors or nHer-
chants paper to be of a. certain per-
centage value" The court found
post dated checks acceptable and
good security, upsetting Langer's
contention. .

whether it be s1o0. $1,000, $4,000

whether it be 500. $1,000, $4,000
or any other amount. We won't
argue with him on that point.
What made us think that Gees
mind was trifle off more than any
thing else did was what he said
about certain still which either
had been or is now being operated
near Niobe. He wants to know if
The Tribune ever got any compen-
sation from such still for keeping
the owners name out of the publish
ed court proceedings. We had nev-
er heard of any still being operated
near Niobe or any other place in
Burke county, and thinking that we
might have missed some news at
some time in the past we asked
States Attorney Hanson if at any
time since ha had been in office he
had caused the arrest Of distiller
either at Niobe or any other place
in the county, and he told us that
according to his records and all
court records of the county there
never had been anyone arrested in
Burke county for distilling whiskey
or any other liquor. And this SIM
ply goes to show that Gee pays
about as much attention to the
truth in regard to distillcrs as he
does to the truth in regard to the
farmers. 1t seems to amuse this
old plug to hint at things that new
er happened to make the people be-
lieve that he has some inside in
formation that no one else possess
es. We don't see what he pub
fishes this class of dope for 1t may
go with some people, but anyone
who stops to investigate cannot
help but make up his mind that
Gee is either just a plain every day
liar or an idiot. Some of our farm
er friends suggest that we call him
a spitoon cleaner, but we won't go
as strong as that this week. How
ever, if he persists in knocking the
farmers we may call him worse
names in later issues.
We might also say for Old Man
Gees information that there wouldn't
be any Nonpartisan League at the
present time if it wasn't for Just
such sports as he has always been,
and always will be. The farmers
have read the newspapers, listened
to the speeches of the pot-gut poll
ticians during the few months pre-
ceding each election and have al
ways been promised something bet
ter during the next administration
1t must be admitted that old Gee
wrote more political dope which he
called editorials than all the other
newspapers in the county put to-
gether. He and a whole lot more
like him have been able to deceive
the, farmers until the tillers of the
soil came;,to realize. that they have
been duped long enough and formed
their organization. While Gee
may still have some readers among
the farmers in the vicinity of Pow
ers Lake, we venture to say that
there are very few that believe his
rot. as was proven by the splendid
vote cast by the farmers for their
own candidates at the last general
election. The farmers, of the state
have organized in spite of such
gawks as Gee, and their organiza-
ton is becoming more perfect every
day. All the noise and falsehoods
stirred up now only encourage the
farmer to "stick" all the more. If
YOU have any sense at all, Brother
Gee, you'd know that by this time.

TEXAS IN FAVOR OF RAILROAD RETURN:
 OTHER MEASURES

Austin, Texas, Jan. 3O.-The Texas legislature expressed itself as favor ing return of railroads to private ow- nership as soon as possible when the House adopted a resolution to this effect today. A similar resolution has been adopted by the Senate.
 The House launched another probe by adopting resolution providing for full investigation of the state high way commission. The Senate has not yet concurred in the resolution. The proposed investigation was brought on by debate on measure to consoli- date the highway commission with the railroad commission.
 Report Bill Favorably.
 A bill to place all public utilities under jurisdiction of the railroad com- mission was reported favorably by Senate committee on internal im- provements, in spite of protest from Mayors of practically every city in the state, who were here to oppose the measure.
