NORTH DAKOTAS HISTORY OF HALF CENTURY Will

Celebration Will Be Held To-

O'clock Bismarck Time
Everyone Invited to Attend
(Bv Ida Nav Owen)

From the empty, horizon reac hing

bustling towns.
From the ring of stampeding buff
falo hoofs to the purr of the SIN
cylinder motor.
From the furtive and menacinp

The history Of half century in
North Dakota may be summed up in
these three sentences. The transfer
nation has taken place before the
eyes of men now living.
Fifty years ago, Custer trapped by
the savages. Now, community clubs
and parent-tcachcr associations.
Fifty years ago, the soldier detail
ed to the lonely outpost. Now, the
paved street. the movie theatre. the
green parkway.
Fifty years ago, the buffalo. Now
the purebrcd bull.
Fifty years ago, the maize about
the Hdasata hut. Now, the siio.
In recognition Of the phenomenal
progress Of North Dakota in the last
half century celebration has been
planned by joint committee from
the Bismarck Association Of Com-
nercc and the Mandan Chamber of
Commerce which will take place to-
morrow, the semi-centennial Of the
Custer tragedy, on the site of old
Fort Abraham Lincoln near Mandan
Noted Speakers Coming
. On this occasion men who knew
Custer, aud women who danced with
the young licutenants who rode to
death before the Sioux, will meet
with the young men and women who
are shaping the affairs of today, /,
living bridge from the past to the
present. Speakers Of note viii, trace
the progress Of the state and show
that the sacrifice Of the Indian
fighters was not in vain.
Standing on the old fort site it
will take a little Imagination to pic
ture the cruel Sioux, riding on fleet
ponies across the rolling plains, and
the Mandans, Gros Ventres and Ark
aras huddled in their ant-hill earth
ern lodges worshippng their maize.

Nor does it seem possibl that this
rich land where recent hOmesteadcrs
are already riding in their autOmQ-
biles once was the stake for which
nations gambled or that five flags
have flown over those sunny fields.
The death Of Custer andrth gal
liant. troopers of the 7th Cavalry in
the battle of the Little Big Horn
aroused nation to action. In the
next decade the redskin was COM
pletely vanquished. Education and
reservation life tanned him. He gave
trouble no more. But his lands, vast
and virgin, awaited the coming of
the cOnquerOrs.
Mid-century men were gold crazy.
The tedious voyage around the Horn
brought them too slowly to Caiifor-
MIA. Dreamers began to talk Of a
.transcontinental railroad and were
jeered at.
The invention of farm machinery
turned men to agriculture. Fortunes
might now be made with little labor.

Col. Blease Hurls the Verbal Bolt

Not for nothing have these souherners been term
ed fire eaters. Senator Cole Blease OF South Caro-
lima stunned the Senate the other day in burst Of
flaming oratory that attacked foreign diplomats in
Washington for feeding liquor to American WON
en-
These foreigners" stormed Senator Blease,
ibring their liquor by the truckoad from Baltimore
to have their fun. They have their parties and can
drink openly
"But the poor cab driver out in the rain wet and
cold buys half pint and goes to his room to warm
his body. dirty spy. calling himself prohibition
agent looks in the window, grabs the poor man and
he is raroaded to the rockpile for thirty days"
No one can honestly contend, whether he he friend
or foe OF prohibition, that its enforcement is free
from discrimination. In Washington hundreds of
foreigners may openly carouse and show their con-
tempt for our prohibition laws, and then faunt
diplomatic immunity in the face OF any official
who dares even to demonstrate with them And the
corridors OF the Senate and House office buildings,
even the capitol resound with the heavy tread Of
the bOotleggers.
Senator Blease wants to know why .the cotton
hill boy, who works from daylight to dark hasn't
the same privilege Of carrying flask as some lit
the half-nigger from foreign country"
Why indeed? Perhaps It is the penalty of being
an American.
Prohibition has never given the opportunity of
being fairly judged, for the simple reason that We
have never had prohibition, or, as Senator Blease
puts It, "ony for those poor devils who haven't got
the money to buy liquor"
