BALLOTS, NOT
BULLETS, WAS
LINCOLN IDEA
Never Favored Any RevoIu-
tiOnary Doctrine, Judge
Christianson Says
T lBU TIE is PAID

| No doctrine uttered by Abraham
h'ncoln can be construed as favorinp
revolutionary principles, Judge A. NJ
Christianson of the supreme court
declared in addressing Joint scs-
sion of the legislature at Lincoln day
exercises in the state capitol. The
doctrine of Lincoln was just the op.
positc, Judge Christianson said.
He quoted Lincoln as saying in his
first message to Congress-:
"Our popular government has Of
ten been called an experiment. Two
points in it our people have already
@ettlcd-thc successful establishing
and the successful administering of
1t. One still remains-its successful
maintenance against Il formidable in
ternal attempt to overthrow it. l.
Is now for them to demonstrates to
the world that those who can fairly
carry an election can also suppress
rebellion; that ballots are the
rightful and peaceful successors OF
bullets; and that when ballots have
fairly and consttutionally decided.
there can be no successful appeal
back to bullets; that there can be no
successful appeal, except to ballot,
themselves, at succeeding elections.
Such will be a great lesson of peace:
teaching men that what they cannot
take by election, neither can they
take it by war; teaching all the folly
OF being the beginners of war"
Tracing the struggle of LINCOLN
from humble surroundings and his
ultimate triumph over jefferson
Davis, the leader Of the Confeder-
acw, who was born not so miles from
Lincoln amid wealth. Judge Chris
tianson pointed to Lincoln as an ex-
ample of individual accomplishment
in America.
Reading from the lessons of Lin
coins printed word, the speaker de-
clared if Lincoln were living today
he would oppose child labor. and
Judge Christianson declared that 1--WE
could do nothing betterjto commem-
crate this, the Hath anniversary of
his birth, than to join in an appeal
that Congress ubmit a constitutional
amendment to wipe out this blot of
child labor from America"
"Lincoln is gone, but his work re-
MAINS" Judge Christianson said. ut
is for US to see that the institutions
which he preserved are not destroy
ed; to see that those whom he sent
to their death to uphold the Union
shall not have died in vian."
The program included selections
by McDonald's orchestra, solo by Mrs
Anson Jackson and Frank Gale, and
readings by Terrence Halloran.

so many protests coming in from
various parts of the state, that
should the measure be successful IN

defeated in the senate.

their ears were frozen.
When the house finally got under

house bill No. 233 under the circum-

viding corrective measures in the
Bank of North Dakota law.
Leaguers Oppose
Lengthy debate developed in the
house over Rep. Carr's bill adjusting
operations of the Bank Of North Da-
kota through changes in the law.
Although the changes are not gen.
orally regarded as doing more than
to clarity and better procedure, Non
partisans indicated exceeding cau-
tion in discussing the bill, seeking
for "jokers." The clause over which
there was most discussion was that
providing that in event the borrow
er takes up his loan the bank shall
be protected in the rate of interest

his loan were made and may be
sold in the future.
The house finally adopted the
committee report recommending
passage, but the Nonpartisans voted
aaginst this. Rep. Walker, Lacquer
moved to kill the bill, which was
defeated, 36 to 32.
