AIRPLANES IN
CITY IN RACE
FROM SHELBY
Two of Them Reach Bismarck
Early Today, Delayed by
Heavy Storms
G. FRYING PICTURES
Both AviatOr,s, Nirst Eye
Witnesses of Fight in Bis
marck, Says Dempsey
Earned Victory

Fargo. July 5-A plane pilOted
by II. J. Quinn and carrying w.
II. Kidder left shortly before 2 p
m. for Minneapolis. OF five
planes which started from Shelby
only three are known to have
reached North Dakota.
The finish of the Dempsey-G Gfb
bons fight in Shelby, Montana, saw
the start of big race.
As soon as photographs of the big
fight were taken, developed and
printed several aviators started east.
Two of them, at least, put Bismarck
on their air route.
Capt. Dallas Speer of Chicago and
Chef jacobson, Minot aviator, arriv-
ed here about $3.50 o'clock this morn
ing on their way from Shelby, carry
ing fight pictures.
They left Shelby after the fight
for Glasgow, Montana, expecting to
reach there before dark and arrive
in Bismarck about midnight. They
we're forced down by storms near
Glasgow, and could not leave until
about 4:3O o'clock this morning.
Speer is carrying pictures for the
Chicago Tribune, and after reaching
Chicago, probably about 8 o'clock
this evening, he will go on to New
York.
Jacobson is carrying fight pictures
for the Newspaper Enterprise Ass'
iation, to which service the Bismarck
Tribune is subscriber. He was
heading for st. Louis, chosen by that
service as central point for dis
tribution. There "mats" will be
made and distributed to all parts OF
the country.
Bismarck prepared to receive the
aviators last night. A. F. Bradley
Secretary of the Association Of Com
merce, with committee composed
of Frayne Baker, chairman, Finley
Baker, r. B. Loubek and w. P. Gett-
leman, planned the. landing field at
Fort Lincoln.
Mr.. Baker took charge of arrange
ments because of experience with
airplanes while Mr.. Gettleman, as
sistant state engineer, put up an
electric power plant. A string of
landing lights was kept burning from
II p. m. until dawn for the fllers.
So far as Speer and jacobson, who
stopped here an hour to stretch and
eat, could judge, they were ahead
j. in the flight. They thought others
had been held back by storms.
Asked concerning the fight at
Shelby, which they saw, both said
It was a rattling good fight, clean
cut all the way through and that
Dempsey earned the decision: The
crowd was with Gibbons, Speer said
The st. Paul boy, however, was weak
ened at the finish, he said.
They thought the decision to
Dempsey was not subject to contro
versy.

Declares 1t Is Vicious When
Used as an Excuse for En-
fOrcement of the Law -
Calls for Uph0lding of the
Eighteenth Amendment by
All Citizens.

Valley City, July 5.-The plea of
personal Liberty" as an excuse for
law violation was criticized by Gov
ernor X. A. Nestos here on the
Fourth of July in an Independence
Day address.
The Governor characterized as
one of the weaknesses of the ma
tion's civic life "the prevalence of
the plea of personal liberty and the
heed paid by many legislatures and
officials to this specious and vicious
plea"
"This plea is being used chiefly
against the laws prohibiting the
manufacture and sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors although it must be con-
ceded that if it is Of any validity
there it can be urged with equal
strength against most of the laws
upon which the progress of our
states and nation is based" the
Governor declared. "This plea is
absolutely devoid of merit and is
vicious in its effect. Those who
use it fail to appreciate what the
Constitutional Government and a
rule by the majority means. To
safeguard the rights of the minority
and to prevent thoughtless and
sometimes inconsiderate majorities
from IMPOSING their will upon the
minority in matters that are vital
in .insuring life, liberty and the pur-
suit of happiness, they established
the constitutional guarantees that
we have been praising today, and
no law which violates those guar
antees can stand.
"But our form Of government pre-
supposes that the majority, by fol-
lowing certain procedure which in
sures purposeful and deliberate ac-
tion and we'll considered results, has
right to change the constitution
and to enact any law that conforms
to this fundamental law. When the
constitution is so amended and laws
enacted, not only those who were
in favor Of such changes but the
minority which may have opposed
them, are in duty and honor bound
to obey and follow them. Practical
ly every law infringes on the rights
or runs counter to the desire or will
of someone and all progress has been
made at the expense of or against
the wishes of those who have used
the plea that their personal liberty
and rights were being violated"
The Governor asked his auditors
to pledge on the 148th anniversary Of
the signing Of the Declaration Of
Independence new devotion to the
nations principles.
"In the first place." he said, "let
us solemhly resolve to join in the
great war that is being i, waged in
illiteracy, ignorance, disloyalty. and
crime"

HOW WOULD YOU
SETTLE 1T?

There is the germ of future IN
ternational disagreements, disrup-
tions, and possible future wars in
the recent Chester Grant by which
Rear Admiral Colby M. Chester, re-
tired, obtains large concessions
from Turkey, with rights to exploit
tation of minerals and the Mosul
oil fields included.
England eyes the Mosul fields
very jealousy. She has obtained
oil there in vast quantities before.
She is not pleased with the Chester
grant OF course, war with Eng
land is an unthinkable proposition,
despite the Herculean efforts of
William Randolph Hearst and his
yellow press to SOW as many seeds
Of strife as possible with Great
Britain. But other foreign grants
will come, and other countries, not
bound to us Is England is, will be
antagonized; other countries, per
haps, already more than willing to
hate the rich and isolated United
States. How are such things going
to be settled?
Mr.. Harding suggests the inter
national court. Already the gov
eminent is building its theory of
such a court around incidents like
the Chester grant-and particularly
around the Chester grant. The prin-
ciple of the "open door" will be
strongly urged. And already the
"isolationists' are getting ready
the ammunition for a big campaign.
What complexities this situation is
that Colonel Harvey, who can be
guaranteed to muss up any question
in which he participates, will soon
be on his way to America to lad
wise" President Harding: the rumor
is to manage Mr.. Harding's cam
paign.
Excluding the Hearst press,
which is not worth considering as
unbiased observers of anything, the
strongest fair-minded champion of
isolation probably is the Chicago
Tribune. How would The Tribune
settle such international complica-
tons as arise from the Chester
grant? Leave them to the tender
mercies of American diplomacy,
which has never been classed with
the trained European brand? Or
let the war seeds sprout and flour
ish? Perhaps the Tribune can an
swer such a question; but It looks
rather difficult of solution.

FIX HIS ROAD UP

Some of the roads on the out.
skirts of Casper nre, at this season
OF the year, little less than public
menaces. The so-called "road" up
to the golf course is more filled
with hazards than the most thor
oughly trapped links in these fair
United States. This is a w~ell-trav-
eled street which winds sharply up
the hill past the South Casper school
1t is traversed daily by scores of
golf enthusiasts, in addition to
many other motor cars. And its
condition will cause all save the
most hardy to give up golf in IA
of some other sport, or exercise
which will not involve travelling
over such n road.
The new $4,000 road tractor be
longing to the city might well be
used on this stretch Of road, which
is one of the most abominable in
the county. And it would serve ms
a thorough test of the machine.
Any machine that is a match for
that road is a good buy at any
price.
The city should fix up this par
ticular street Immediately. 1t is
much more important than many
streets they are working on, and in
much worse condition.
