Some of Them Don't :
Like Andy Miller

Protests against the confirmation
of Andrew Miller to be the new Fed
eral district Judge in North Dakota
are being received by Senator Nelson
as chairman Of the Senate judiciary
committee at Washington. Among.
these is one by telegraph claiming
nearly thousand signatures. It
comes from Bismarck, Judge Millers
home. Senator Nelson admitted that
protests are coming in. He said that
at the first meeting Of the judiciary
committee, which probably will not
be until after the holiday season, a
subcommittee to consider the Miller
nomination will be named. "A delega-
tion from North Dakota has asked a
hearing against Miller and Senator
Nelson said this will be granted.
Judge Miller's nomination was sub
mitted by President Harding Mon
day. The judge is Senator McCum-
ber's candidate. Senator Ladd pro-
posed Judge Seth Richardson Of Far
go, but it is unerstood will not op-
pose the confirmation Of Miller. The
oposition to Miller is coming from the
Independent Voters Association.

STARKWEATHER

The Starkweather high school bas-
ket-ball team Friday night justified
the faith which its friends and sup
polters had placed in it by defeating
the fast Rock Lake team. The game
was played in the local gymnasium.
The final score was 27 to %.
A marriage Of more than usual in
tercst to this community took place
at Plummer, Minn., on Thursday, De-
cember 8, whe1 Miss Alma o. Burstad
of that place became the bride of
Mikael Bottolfson, a we'll known
young farmer, south of Starkweather.
Friends here are in receipt Of word
from Mr. and Mrs. Homer Rosler who
left some time ago for their winter
home in Miami, Florida. Mr.. Resler
writes that conditions are no better
even in Florida than they are in North
Dakota and that the same story Of
hard times is repeated to him every
place that he visits.
St. ice will have a new business
enterprise after the first Of the year.
according to an announcement made
by G. K. Temlnson, manager Of the
farmers cooperative elevator, at that
place. NIr. Temanson has rented a
part Of the office from the elevator
company and after the first of the
year will put in a small stock Of gro
ceries.
Roy Matthews. well known farm
er southwest Of town. reported to the
Times Friday that he saw q gopher
on his way TO Starkweather thar day.
This was in spite of the fact that it
had turned colder Friday and we were
not enjoying as warm weather as had
favored Us for the week previous.
When the gophcrs come out in the
middle of December we guess the win
ter is made about as good as it can
be.
Some of the people of North Da-
kota seem Of think that we are in
pretty bad shape and that the state
is going to the bows-wows. Is it true
that this holiday season does not find
US in the happy and prosperous con-
dition which has prevailed here for
the past few years. But it doesn't
find the people of other states in any
better condition. We venture to as
sert that there will be less real suf-
fering from the want of food. shelter
and clothing in North Dakota this
winter in proportion to our population
than in any other state in the union
And as compared to the deplorable
condition in Russia and most cf the
European countries, We are living in
a veritable paradise.

(Carl Nelson)
The spring returns with gladness
Every year,
And removes each trace Of sadness
Every year;
While the crocuses and lichen
And summer verdure thicken
We can feel cur spirits quicken
Every year.
Many loves and friendships blended
Every year
Are the gifts for duties tended
Every year;
Of the noble ties that bind US
Until time to sleep resign us
All our sympathies remind us
Every year.
Tu the future march new faces
Every year,
Bringing life to vacant places
Every year:
Everywhere the glad eyes meet us,
In the morning CLEAN they greet us
To lead on they all entreat us,
Every year.

Every year,
And we need your ample vision
Every year,"
Thus the youth with high hopes burn

To our loving counsels turning
Fill our hearts with sweetest yearn-
ing
Every year.
Is is true life's shores are drifting
Every year, .
That foundations old are shifting
Every year?
No! Great souls and hearts remind us
Of the Godlike loves that bind US
To. the ones who march behind us
Every year.
If we see life's lesson clearer
Every year,
And just try to bring haven nearer
Every year;
Here and henceforth life shall hold us
By greater Image mold us
And stronger bond enfold US
Every year.

WHY TEACHERS DIE YOUNG

When requested to submit an essay
on air, Sylvanus Rankin confirmed the
old but well-tried proverb which says
that "a little knowledge is q danger
GUS thing" with the following essay:
Breath is made Of air. We breathe
always with our lungs. except at night
when our breath keeps life going
through GUS noses while we are asleep
If it wasn't for our breath we should
die whenever we slept.
"Boys that stay in a room all day
should not breath. They should
wait until thev get out doors. A lot
of boys staying in a room make car
homicide, and carbomicide is more poi
sonous than mad dogs, though not just
in the same way. It does not bite, but

Harding Said to Favor
Final Limit ON House


f'om The Tribune 8 WASHINGTON BNredu
WASHINGTON, April 15.-Congres-
sional leaders who have sounded out
President Harding on the question Of
placing a final limit on the member
ship of the House understand that the
President would not oppose such
move. This word circulated among
members of the House during the last
few days has encouraged sentiment in
favor of some such limitation in the
interest of legislative efficiency and
dispatch.
Representative Isaac Siegel. Of New
York. has proposed an amendment to
the Constitution to limit the member
ship to 500. This amendment, intro
duced during the last session, has
again made its appearance. and will
probably be considered in conjunction
with the Siegel eapportionment bill
now before the Census Committee
President Harding is understood also
to favor a proposed compromise on
Congressional apportionment, based on
the 1920 census. There is every indi
cation that the Siegel bill, increasing
the membership from 43S to 4S3, has
been definitely disposed Of and will
not be revived. The measure was de-
feated decisively in the last Congress
and has no chance for passage during
the present session.

Plea to Disarn
House Leaders Arrange for

Carrying $500, 600. 900
10 Construct War Craft
Legislation Has Harding's
Sanction; Passage Sure;
Aggressive Stand Taken

FROM The Tribunc's WASHINGTON Bureau
WASHINGTON. April 15.-In the
face Of the expectation that President
Harding will call an International dis
armament conference within the next
three months, leaders of the House
are going ahead with plans to rush
through the naval appropriation bill
defeated last session. which carries a
total of about half billion dollars.
Both army and the navy appropria-
ton bills are to be put through the
House the latter part of next week. if
uossible. 1t is understood that the
navy bill is to have preference. Full
sanction to the bills as now drafted
was given by President Harding in his
message to Congress under the inter
pretation given his reference to the
measures.
As reported to the House last SEES
sion the naval bill carried appropria-
sions amounting to 1853 504. 44412.
This total was increased in the Senate,
where the measure went down under
0oS.13097. A compromise is expected
tc be worked out between these figures
In conference early this session.
The question of disarmament will
be taken up informally in the near
future. in the belief of Republicans in
Congress who have close contact with
the White House. A resolution author
izing the President to call such a con-
ference was introduced in the House
to-day by Representative John Jacob
Rogers, Of Massachusetts, 1t would
provide that the building program be
continued in disregard to conference
until definite policy of disarmament
has been absolutely established"
Word was brought to House leaders
to-day that diplomatic machinery may
be set in motion in the next sixty
days, possibly during consideration Of
the peace program. with the object
Of encouraging discussion of naval
construction and limitations by repre-
sentatives of Great Britain, Japan and
the United States. 1t is recognized by
Administration officials and Congress
sona spokesman that these are the
only powers concerned at the present
time in the subject.
Of the three nations concerned the
United States is in the best strategic
position to initiate SIGH a movement
in the belief of members of Congress.
One leader said to-day:
1--WE have the most powerful navy
now and will have the most powerful
when the 1916 program is completed in
1924. Therefore we have nothing to
fear and would be able TO enter into
discussions of disarmament or propose
such discussions in full command of
the situation.
"0ur position is simply this: If
the race for competitive ornaments is
to continue we'll stay in it and outstrip
the world. We will maintain the big
gest navy at any cost. On the other
hand if Great Britain and Japan recog-
nize the futility of such course and
