Complaints Against
Dance Hall Near Minot
Result In Closing

Bismarck, N. D.. Sept. 16.-Pursu-
ant to the policy of the state licens-
ing department, q dance hall at
Logan. a small place near Minot, has
been closed by the order of the state
licensing department. Complaints
had been made to the department
that Intoxicating liquor was con-
sumed on the premises. that intoxi-
Gated persons visited the dance hall
and remained on the premises, and
that young girls Of sixteen years, ,or
even younger, came away from the
place in an intoxicated condition.
Attorney General Sveinbjorn john
sop says that this policy has been fol-
lowed and will be continued in the
future by his department. and that
licenses will be revoked in all places
where dance halls are not conducted
strictly within the law The depart
ment, he said. has been handicapped
because Of the Inadequate provision In
the law for CONTROL over country
dance halls and barn dances outside
OF the incorporated villages and cities.

Proposed Law Would
Provide For Safety (,
vs.. OF Bus Passengers

Bismarck. N. D., sept.H 1S.-Enact-
ment OF a law requiring drivers Of
motor buses to stop not less than fifty
feet from a railroad track is recon-
mended by the state railroad COM
mission, In its biennial report to the
on methods Of preventing railroad
accidents, held some time ago. :
Such a law, the report urges,
should apply to drivers Of buses or
motor transportation companies, and
require that after the stop Is made,
the driver or operators Of the vehicle
should look in each direction for ap-
preaching cars or train and should
not start the vehicle until it has been
train approaching the crossing in
either direction. It is not the mere
existence of grade crossings. that
make them dangerous. 1t Is the yay
people use them. Human nature IS
the. same III all states, n II the
number of accidents is to be reduced,
some action must be taken by the
state"
The report gives the accident
ating in North Dakota for two years
ending June 80. The report shows
no passengers killed during the two
years. Deaths from accident follow:
Employees: Great Northern, 5; North
ern Pacific. s; 500 lines, /.
Trespassers: Great Northern, 6;
Northern Pacific, II; 500 lines, 2.
Non.trespassers: Great Northern,

Among other recommendations of
the board are: That q larger -appro-
priatton be made to permit a larger
personnel; that money be provided
for instruments with which to make
tests and reduce utility regulation to
q scientific basis, and that funds BE
provided for employment Of a per-
fm4hent head and sufficient inspectors

Mistakes In Income
Tax Reports Numerous

Bismarck. n. D., Sept. 16.-Three
years Of experience with the North
Dakota income tax law, during which
the state has collected $900,722.ss in
income taxes has led to the return Of

compiled by Lyman Baker. statistician
Of the state tax commission. Claims
are still pending against the state OF
$3,186.68, making q total of $23,-
643.36 requested in refunds. The
figures are those to- July /, 1922.
Lack of knowledge of the law in
making out the reports in most cases
was. the reason for the request for
refund, according to Mr.. Baker. Z

The Chinese War

1 Wa pspa and 10 chang rsoHn the
Occidental mind needs must hang
back from more than casual comment. Any
thing may befall when these are the protago-
mis- Is and the stage is set on the immemOrial
plains of Pekin.
Suffice it, then that General WI Pei-Fu
and General Chang Lin the ore of the
Yangtze River provinces The other of Man
churla are embattled for control Of the Pc
kin government and of the provinces of Shan
tung and Anhwei by means of the railway
linking the capital of Shanghai. From such
unbiased and understandable comment as
drifts thither across the Pacific or by way
of Europe it appears that the better man OF
the two is WI Pei-Fu-better that is, as re-
CARDS motives, antecedents and associations,
For while it is conceded that WI has not al
ways been prescriptions in the matter of
requsitioning supplies and enforcing his WILL
he bears the name of stanch patriot and
liberal statesman. 1t seems, moreover, that
the larger part of the student and mercantile
interests are for him, which fact is not with
out significance. But Chang Tso-Lin, be-
sides having bandits career behind him, is
charged with corruption as well as violence;
and, worst of all, is suspected, as a recent
American observer writes, "of playing the
Japanese game, either by agreements or un-
der pressure of the threat of Japanese troops
in his Manchurian provinces and around his
capital of Mukden." 1t should be said, how
| ever, that Chang processes as ardently as does
WI his dedication to the cause of reuuiting
the Chinese people. That, strangely enough,
is why they are warning SO hotly.
If the issue is not now decided it is likely
that the breach will widen, resulting in two
or more Chinas, each under it's dictator. But
| if the fight is to the finish there will come
| FORTH from amongst the leaders in the pres
| ent tug, the man who for years will mould
the great nations policies and largely deter
mine its destiny.

THEY NEVER TAKE A TIP-By Dorothy Dix

anything from the experience of others, mar
iages would be like the fairy tale ending,
''And they lived happily ever afterwards
in place of the scrapping match it so often
is in real life.
For the women who have sailed the dan
gerous sea of wedlock, have charted it and
erected lighthouses, and beacon towers along
its most dangerous reefs, and over its sunk
en- shoals, but they try vainly to pilot the
young bride, making her first voyage, out
into the safe channel She scorns their adj
vice, and wants none of their knowledge.
In reality she does know the dangers of
which they would warn her. She could tell
you that behind the AS divorce was Mrs. AS
eXtrava gance; that Mrs. B. simply drove Mr..
into hunting up an affinity by her naggfng;
that Mr.. G really wandered away in search
of something fit to eat, and comfortable
place in which to read his paper, for Mrs. G
kept her house like a pig sly, and her food
would have killed cat and that Mrs. d
paved the way for any vamp that might
come along by always looking so frowsy and
untidy.
But does the wreckage of all of these lit
tie painted boats that were named Mary, :"
and sally" and Carrie" and that started
forth so gayly, and that wash in such flotsam
and jetsam of broken hearts and blasted
hopes, teach her to steer wary course?
Very seldom. These other women may have
lost their husbands through naggfng, and
petty tyranny, through wastefulness, and
SlOCnIuIn6SS, ana extravaganza, through Cnelr
lack Of personal attraction, by their tempers
and nerves, and lack of self-control, but she
feels sure that no such fate will befall her.
She is certain that she possesses a fasci-
nation for her husband that nothing she can
do will ever break, and that he will go on
loving her, and admiring her, matter
whether she is lovable, or admirable or not.
AS the phrase goes she is certain she can
get away with murder and not be caught.
Of course, matrimonial history repeats it.
self, and the woman who won't learn from
the experience of others, adds one more warn
ing to women about the danger of not turn
ing out a good job as wife, and not looking
out after husband if one doesn't want him
stolen. But her experience also teaches moth
ing, SO far as her sisters are concerned.
And so it goes all through life. Women
see other women spelling their children,
rearing up undsciplined sons and daughters
who will bring their gray hairs in sorrow to
the grave; women who are bringing ruin on
their husbands by trying to keep up with
I people better off than themselves, and they
are not warned. They do the same things
themselves, and believe that they can some
how escape the consequences of their own
folly.
They never do, but perhaps it is only this
sublime egotism and ignorance that gives
women the courage to live.

Making Sure of CROP Luck

N interesting study in South Georgia
~ economics is presented by the Triton
Gazette in line or two of type when
it says apropos of large cooperative chick
en- sale which Mitchell county intends to con-
duct in the latter part of May: "The spring
chicken output will be ready about that time,
and we expect that those participating in the
sale will find that chickens are as far ahead
of hogs for quick money crop as hogs are
ahead of cotton. For cash crop at little
cost, the chicken can't be beaten. But the
man who is going to make some real money
in this country is the man who markets lit
tie cotton, some hogs, and then some chick
ens-not to mention milk and butter and
vegetables, and the opportunities the cream
cries Offer
Where such policies prevail-and certainly
a large part of Georgia is now awake to their
wisdom-prosperity is almost foregone. The
merchants of old THE who waxed richest in
sea ventures were ever careful not stake their
all on single ship, but to invest in divers
cargoes so that if one or two were lost in
storms the other would bring fortune home
With like prudence the wise farmer hedges
against i'll luck for one crop by having a di-
versity of others on the way; and in a land
so variously endowed as ours there is scarce
a limit to his opportunities.

Editorial Echoes

So far as we have been able to determine,
baseball is the only thing of prime impor-
lance which the Chinese do not claim to have
invented. They will tell you in China that
football was played in that country some
centuries before the Christian era.
1t may be that baseball is a development
Of the English game of FOUNDERS if that is
whit they call it, but it is so changed that
even our English cousins who, like John
Chinaman, are fond of claiming priority in
discovry and in invention, are not at all for
ward in declaring that baseball is their own.
We have. therefore, one "big thing" which
neither Britons nor Cinnamon played at, or
made use Of before America was discovered.
The Chinese may have been the first, as
they say they were, to make gunpoWder, to
fly kites, to print from movable type to prac-
tice proper surgery, to master astronomy
and to do a hundred and one other things
which other nations think they did first, but
we can forgive all of this claiming presump-
ton if John, whether John Chinaman or John
Bull, will keep ut of the baseball Court OF
Claims.-Chicago Post (Ind.)
