THE DREAM is OVER.

The following from the Portland
fOregon) Oregonian, gives one an
idea of how we are looked at through
other eyes than our own and this pa
per has not had any calomel either:
Nobody outside the wrecked
Utopia of North Dakota understands
clearly what is going on there, ex-
cept that its, affairs are in hopeless
confusion and its socialist schemes
in almost equally hopeless bank
ruptcy. The dream of perfect state
is over. To be sure. there is a large
element which refuses to face the
SOLDERING facts, and wants the night
mare to go on; but the saner classes
have made up their mind that the
only way successfully to get rid Of
a debt is to pay it.
AT the latest report, some thirty
two banks in North Dakota had
failed, and the mother bank of North
Dakota was in straits and was to be
reorganized. With the banking re-
sources of the state reduced to a
beggarly minimum, industry is para
lyzed, business is in low gear, and
counties and towns are unable to
meet their pay-rolls.
'The distracted fnanciers of the
state say that if some one will lend
them S6.0O0.0O0 they can save the
day. But who would pour 5000, 900
into the bottomless pit of collapsed
socialism? Not Wall street, nor any
other institution which had a proper
sense of its responsibilities to it's
depositors and investors There is
talk that the S6.O0O.0OO will be
provided, if North Dakota will mend
is ways. There is nothing the mat
FER with the state, but much the
natter with the men who have been
exploiting it. There will be no cure
until they are nut out. and new
leadership installed, which will take

sailles, would there~have been re-
verberating roar or rage from every
corner of the United States? 4
There would, Gentle Reader.
And there should be just such a
roar from every corner of the State
Of North Dakota at the raid on the
state treasury to support the 81 kept
beauties in Mr.. Lemke's newspaper
harem with full page advertisements
of what the administration has done
for the "pee-pul:"
Testimony at Bismarck reveals the
fact that the advertising campaign IS
costing the state about $500 weekly
of which $1,740 goes into the papers
controlled by the Publishers Service
bureau. Mr.. Lenke's own paper the
Courier-News, of course, is getting
it's slice of the melon. Mr.. Hagan tes-
titled that so far as he was concern
ed "the sky was the limit" and ne
was willing to spend the sum OF $780,
600 if necessary on the campaign. On
that basis President Wilson would
have been justified in expanding be-
tween $25,O0O,00O and SIC, 900, 600 in
advertising in the newspapers OF the
United States the greatness OF his
achievement at Versailles. And even
then Mr.. Wilson wouldn't have been
spending the money in his own news
papers. .'.- y-,
: Surely it is vicious precedent to
establish to permit member OF the
state industrial commission to vote to
spend the states money in publishing
advertisements in his own newspaper
telling of his own achievements. Is
every administration in the future to
be permitted to dip into the state
treasury at will for its campaign
fund? Such system might bring
temporary prosperity to newspapers
but The Forum certainly does not
want that kind of advertising patron
age. 1t refused to be party to this
shameless raid on the treasury, not
only because of the vicious precedent
it establishes, but because of the
character of the "copy" in the ad-
vertisements.
That one act alone should be ample
reason for recalling every member OF
the industrial commission.-Forum.

Just what brand they would be
was strongly uncertain but before
court convened the day held these
possibilities:
That the sudden exercise Of per-
emptory challenges might deplete
the jury box now containing a dozen
temporary passed jurors and plunge
the court into another day Of tedious
questioning Of veniremen.
That lawyers might decide IL was

remove the three women now in the
jury box.
That evidence might be started
with the state following any one OF
half dozen lines of evidence.
Adopting the tactics of the defense,
District Attorney Matthew Brady and
his staff would not commit them
selves as to where their evidence
would begin. 1t was believed pro-
bable, however, that testimony of
physicians who attended Miss Rappe,
whose life Arbuckle is alleged to
have taken, would be first called.
Mrs. Laura Miller. San Francisco
club leader and member of Woman's
Vigilant Committee, today issued a
warning to club women not to dis
cuss the Arbuckle case. Mrs. Mil

the club women at the trial.

are wanted for jury duty she said,
'and to aid in establishing a strong

refraining from premature discus
sion Of the case. We must maintain
dignity as well as silence" she said,
admonishing club women who in
tend to become spectators at the trial.

SPEND 100000
ON NEW TRACKS
Trolley Company Improves
Much Roadbed During
The Year
TO CONTINUE
WORK IN SPRING

Relaying OF tracks and ties and
street repairs have caused an ex-
penditure Of approximately $500, 900
by the Wilmington and Philadelphia
Traction Company during the past
year. according TO statement made
today by Thomas w. Wilson, gem
eral manager of the company. The
large amount of work done has been
induced by the abundance of new
paving done in the city. The street
repairs by the traction company in
clude:
Eighth street, from Van Buren, to
Broome.
Sbellpot Park-loop.
Tracks on New Washington street
bridge.
Washington street. from bridge to

All Of the operations mentioned
include repaving between the tracks
and the laying of new ties and rails.
Forces are still engaged in the COM
pletion of the work on Delaware
avenue and on Washington street
bridge.
Mr.. Wilson said that it was also
planned to relay the track bed on
Front sereet in front OF French St
station this year. Due to the late
ness in the season it was decided to
wait until spring to do this work.
With the setting in OF colder wea-
ther, causing frequent delays in the
operation, a condition much worse
than now prevailing would arise, he
said.
