MACBRIDE CASE CLUE
YIELDS NO EVIDENCE
Detectives Trip to Pittsburgh Il
in Vain-Police Continue
Search.

Detective Arthur Scrivener returned
to Washington from Pittsburgh. Pa.
Saturday, after investigating an angle
Of the Barney A. MacBride murder
mystery. which opened here with the
finding OF Macn. Se's body on Sep
tember 10 near Meadows. Md.
His quest proved fruitless. He de-
cided upon it after he and Detective
E. J. Kelly had grilled a prisoner at
the District jail for several hours a
few days ago.
1t was believed at first that the
trip to Pittsburgh would put the
police along a definite line that would
result in a cleanup of the MacBride
case.
Definite word was obtained, however.
that a woman believed to be implicated
in the case has been identified. but the
surrounding facts necessary for police
action cannot be uncovered. Quietly and
steadily the detective bureau has been
plugging away at the case without
word OF its activities getting to the
public. Progress has been delayed
by false tips.

PARK BOARD NOMINATIONS.

With the close OF business yesterday the time
Tor filing petitions of candidates to be voted for at
the approaching city election expired. Contests
for election to the positions now to be filled arc
somcwhat infrcquent. There is more than the usu-
al amount of interest, therefore, in the present cleo.
ton because OF the fact that there are two no1nina-
tons tor one OF the places OH the park commission.
The two members whose terms expire are Messrs.
Murphy and Rabinovicl,. Mr.. Rabinovich complet-
cd his regular fivc-year term last year, but because
no city election was held he continued, under the
provision of the law which authorizes the member
to continue in. service until his successor is elected
and qualities. Mr.. Murphy is completing a regular
~tiveyear term. Mr.. Murphy is a candidate for re-
election, and there is no other candidate for the term
for which he seeks reelection. For the remainder
of the term upon which Mr.. Rabinovich has served
one year as a hold-over Mr.. Rabinovich is again a
candidate, and ]. H. Void has also been nominated
for the same position.
Mr.. Murphy and Mr. Rabinovich have given
their services to the city for several years in this
work. Mr.. Void has not sought or held public pc.
sition, but he was urged by many friends to consent
to be a candidate because of their respect for hi
character and their conviction that he could render
excellent service. One feature whic his strongly
urged in favor of the election of Mr.. Void is that he
is a golf player and, as such, is brought into person
al contact with somerof the problems which are con.
|tinually coming before the board for solution. The
golf course at Lincoln park is one of the city's as
sets which grows in value each year, and co-opera-
NN FoyS "AN pun Jul IL oNAAAO
to the realization of the full possibilities of that as
set.
1t may be pointed out that the adoption of the
form of government, with its biennial
elections, has rendered necessary some re-arrange-
ment of park board terms and elections. The park
commission law was enacted while annual elections
were held in the city, and it was provided that the
five commissioners should serve each for a ~five-year
term, with the election of one member each year.
With the elections held only every other year the
member whose term eyDirer in the odd yo, ,u;11
hold over, thus having a six-year term. While this
is not material as All occasional variation it seems
that the law should be SO amended as to end the
terms in the years III which elections are held. There
is a good deal of merit in the plan of electing one
man at a time. but with biennial elections that can
not very well be done. Apparently the only method
OF fitting the park board terms to the present cleo
ton system would be to extend the term to six years
and elect two men at one election, two at the next
and one at the third. There may be other ways as
good or better, but it seems that some definite plan
should be prepared and submitted to the legislature
for action.

LEGISLATIVE CANDIDATES.

In the attention which is given to matters of
national and state Importance which will come be-
tore the voters at the approaching primaries itis
necessary that due consideration be given to the
character Of the representation which there is to be
i'll the state assembly.
Quite often the selection of legislative candi-
dates is left until late in the day and allowed to 90
practically by default, the result being that the peo-
pie are not as we'll served as they should be-, and
that there is not a fair representation of the prevail
ing sentiment in each district.
1t is particularly important from the standpoint
OF this section that the Seventh legislative district
be represented in the house by a man who has suf-
flc1ent decision and force of character to take a pos
tive stand on all important questions of public i'm
portance and a sufficiently clear understanding of
the matters which are to come before the assembly
to reach decisions which will be in accordance with
the best interests of the state and which will tend to
promote those interests and to protect the taxpayers
from waste and extravaganza.
1t will be we'll for the voters in the Seventh dis
trict to devote some thought to this subject SO that
III ample time they may decide on a man whom they
believe will qualify to represent them, so that a
man less desirable will not be sprung upon them bv
surprise or forced upon them by the activities OF
some small but powerful organization.
The Sixth district, in which the northern part
of Grand Forks is situated, was represented in the
house last year by John T. Freeman, and if Mr..
freeman is willing to serve again it seems that the
voters of that district need look no further. Mr..
freeman is an old resident of the district, a practical
farmer, and a man of intelligence and information,
and his record IN the house during his term of SER
wee has been such as to inspire confidence among
his constituents and create a demand for the CON
|%tinuation of his services.
1t would be a mistake for the people of the
Sixth district to deprive themselves of the services
of a man who has acquitted himself so well and
served them so faithfully.

WITH MONEY OR WITHOUT.

North Dakota, like every new territory, needs
two things, people and money. 1t needs a good
deal of money which, in the nature of things, cannot
be accompanied by its owners in person. Ours is
a borrowing state. 1t will be a borrowing state for
a good many years. With our affairs on a proper
basis we can use capital in the permanently con-
%structive work of development faster than we can
accumulate that capital in the ordinary prosecution
OF the industries of the state. Most OF our work Of
public improvement must be done on credit, and the
improvements will find their market largely without
the state. Our farmers can use, in the aggregate,
and quite prohtably, large sums of borrowed money
tor the permanent Improvement of their property in
various ways. Money is needed for elevators,
creameries, potato warehouses and SO forth, and
while many of these things will be financed locally,
much of the money will come ultimately from the
outside. In the development of our coal and clay
resources, scarcely touched as yet, large sums will
be required, and again we must draw on our neigh
bors.
We need men and women, to operate farms, to
carry on our other industries, to rear homes. And
it is desirable that those who come from these pur-
poses shall bring with them sufficient capital to
finance their own work. A very satisfactory solu-
ton of the problem of getting people and money
would be to have people come to us with money
provided they are the right sort of people.
After all, it is men and women that we want
men and women of the right stamp, whether they
have much money or little. The young man who
comes to us with a sound body, and a keen intellect,
and a sound character. with courage and patience
and industry and thrift, with faith in himself and
respect for his neighbours, dealing Justly and gener-
ously with others and requiring justice from them.
and with respect for the institutions of society which
have made it possible for men to live in harmony
with each other-that man, though he may not have
a dollar, is a greater asset to the state than a whole
procession of millionaires. whose millions are their
ONLY possessions.

A MARGIN.

1t is apparent that the margin in the senate in
favor OF the ratification of the four-power treaty is
to be a very narrow one. The votes for the several
amendments which were rejected on the early roll
calls ranged from ~ to so. Ar adverse vote of 81,
with all the members voting, will defeat ratification.
The votes on amendments and reservations, of
course, is no certain indication of the vote on the
treaty itself. 1t may be taken for granted that all
VINO intend to vote against ratification voted for
the proposed changes. 1t is also quite probable
that some OF those who voted for amendments will
vote for ratification when the final test is made. If
the supporters of ratification can hold their present
forces together. therefore. ratification NAV be ac-
cepted as certain, though by a uncomfortable close
vote.
There is consistency in the attitude of those
senator's who, like Reed, B5rah and Johnson. Oh
posed first the Versailles treaty and now the four
power treaty. They are frankly and positively
against any compact or understanding with other
nations for the preservation of peace. 1t is possible.
also, to reconcile the opposition of some of the other
senators to the Versailles treaty with support OF
the present one. They opposed the former on the
~ground-however mistaken that may have been
that it went too far in the direction Of involving the
United States IN the affairs of other nations. They
support the present treaty on the ground that the
elements to which they objected are not contained
In the present document.
The position of each of these two groups IS
capable OF being resolved into at least some semb-
lance of logic. But by what process of topsy-turvev
reasoning is it possible to follow those who favored
the Versailles treaty and now oppose the agreement
which is under discussion The present treaty ap-
plies to the territorial rights of the four powers in
the restricted portion of the globe the same prin-
ciple that's applied by the Versailles treaty to the
territorial and political rights of all it's members
everywhere, with a single exception. The nations
which signed the Versailles treaty pledge them
selves to defend the rights which they have prom
Ised to respect. In the present treaty the idea OF
defense is neither expressed nor implied in any man
ner that could be construed as an obligation. Yet
a score or 50 OF senators who supported the broader
and more inclusive treaty are now opposing one OF
much more restricted application. If the Versailles
treaty is good, the four-power treaty must also be
good, as far as it goes. 49,
The opposition of these latter senator's is nee.
sssarily due to personal stubbornness OF to a politi-
cal partisanship which is determined to injure the
share in the injury. :

as to which faction will. win in the approaching
league convention, it is fairly certain that under any
circumstances there will be a rather large group Of
disafected leagures when the thing IS decided.
Mr.. Gronna's statement is manifestly framed
in such a manner as to appeal to the anti-Townley
element within the league organization, and whether
it comes in the form of an endorsement from a league
convention which has slipped out of the control Of
Townley, or in some other form, it may be regarded
as reasonably certain that if their choice is restricted
to McCumber, Gronnar and a senatorial candidate
who may and probably will be supported by the
Independent organizations, the a~nti-Townley leag-
uers would prefer Gronna.
There is the possibility, of course, that this ele-.
ment may prefer to place in the field a candidate of
its own who has been an active working member of
the league. This would open up new possibilities
of a nature which cannot clearly be foreseen. 1t
seems pretty clear, however, that notwithstanding
his admitted skill in manipulation, Mr.. Townley
cannot deliver anything like the full league vote to
Senator McCumber. How much of it he can deliver
is a matter on which opinions will vary, but it will
be a long way short of 100 per cent.
