(Official City, State and County Newspaper
It's 1926

Taking one thing with another, life in this great
republic OF ours is waggng along much the same
as always. To be sure, surface customs and
ners change, as they always have and always will;
but the fundamental characteristics Of American
life patriotism, deccncy, love of home and family,
perseverance - these persist about as they were
fifty or hundred years ago.
Fer this reason it is difficult to- understand the
attitude Of some very good people who insist that,
unless we take strong measures, shall rush
hcadlong To the demniton bow vows.
For instance: the wires carried story the othe,
day concerning ordinance introduced for con-
sideraion Of the city council Of Little Rock, Ark,
touching on censorship for amusements.
After prohibiting girl dancers on the stage from
displaying their bare skin above the knees or be-
low the shoulders, the proposed law sets forth that
no jokes will be permitted in any show that tend
to ridcue prohibition, religion, faithfulness to mar
riage ties, family life "any patriotic event in
American history"
This law has not yet been passed, and it may be
defeated but it is worth considering because it is
typical of so many similar movements in all parts
of the country.
Unques tonably such things as religion, family
life, the patriotic events in history and all the
rest are worth preserving. But this censorship idea
hardly seems the correct way to go about it,
If family life, for example, is ridiculed on the
stage it is because certain aspects of it already
throughout the country, being held up to ridicue
by private individuals. For the stage only mirrors
everyday viewpoints and beliefs. No actor ever
dared to send shaft at any custom or institution
that he did not know beforehand to be the subject
of fippant comment among the majority of his
audience.
That being the case, why all the fuss?
E. IIok
can safely poke fun at Oldest and most cher
ished traditions, little thing like censorship won't
help us either. Either such drastic law isn't
needed at all = or else something ten times as
stringent is needed, and needed badly.
Whatever may be the matter with us, sixteenth
century laws like the one submitted to the LttlS
Rock council won't do anyone any good.

Editorial Comment
A Good Idea
TaMo,lre County Chronicl

LaMoure County Chronice)
Governor Sorc has it in mind to call state
wide safety" conference for the purpose of con-
sidering measures and taking steps to make our
highways safer and tc reduce automobile accidents.
He has addressed communication to the mayor OF
each city and chairman of each county board in
which it is pointed out that fftythree persons were
killed in auto accidents on public highways in
1926 in addition to which twelve persons met their
death at railway grade crossings Here is tragedy
indeed And the thing that makes it Sc intolerable
is the fact that a-or nearly all--of those fatal
accidents were due to careessness; they were
avoidable.
The various states of the union are fast waking
up to the fact that the safety of their people, both
motorists and pedestrians, depends upon wedding
out the unfit and careless auto driver. Several
states have already passed strong laws regulating
the driving privilege and several others are now
considering. the passage Of laws making it abso-
lutely necessary for driver to stand an examna-
ton before being permitted to operate
In New York state last year II 900 motorists ha
their licenses revoked or suspended. More than
1000 persons lost their licenses because they
convicted of driving while intoxicated were
held pending criminal prosecution such charge.
Reckless drivers to the numebr of 1000 lost their
licenses. Reports show that the state had 2O8
fewer deaths from motor accidents in the first IL
months of last year than in the period in 1924
Notwithstanding an increase Of IL per cent in the
number of machines registered in 1925.
The New York auto law has teeth, and they are
used. Any LaMoure driver will tell you that fear
of losing his license and being forced to leave his
car standing in the garage would do more to dis
courage reckless driving than all the fines that
could be handed cut to autoist. He may not
mind the fine-he go out and get more money
But if his license is taken away from him and he
cannot drive again, he is going to pause and do a
little serious thinking before taking chances. Care
full, sensible drivers do not object to such law
and that is why it is safe to predict that many othe,
states will follow New York's example and pass
laws to that effect.

let the New York law receive careful consideration

For the Senate


AS convention draws more interest is being
taken in the U. S. Scnatorship for North Dakota
From the League Republican standpoint at the
present time it looks though Gerald NSe will get
the endorsement Of the convention. From the
standpoint of the l. " A. or Real Republicans there
seems to be some question as to who will get the
endorsement. The three mentioned are Nestos,
Hanna and Christensen Seemingly Nestos and
Hanna have got together and have decided to stand
by the action of the convention. This is it should
be. Christianson undoubtedly will do the same If
he permits his name to go before the convention.
Mr.. Nestos has made several statements to the
press and in one find the following: Il should
like to be United States Senator, and believe that
my training, association, understanding of national
and northwestern problems, and my inherent SYM
pathes are such that should be able to represent
my state fttingly and with at least ordinary ef-
fciency" 1t is strange to rste that he admits thai
with all Ct his training understanding, and inherent
sympathies, he feels that he could serve his state
with but ORDINARY EFFICIENCY. That how
ever, will not suffice The people Of North Dakota
demand some one who serve them who possesses
more than ordinary ability and efficiency. Mr.
Hana's ability is well known by the people of the
state and many feel that he could step into the u
s. Senate and serve his people with one hundred
per cent efficiency from the first day. Judge Chris
Hanson probably has more qualifications for the
Office Of u. s. Sentor than any Of those mentioned
He is Of the proper age, possesses great native ab
ity and his training in business and in law fits him
for just such position. He is favored with :
pleasing personality and is fluent forcefu speak
