VETS PLAYED BY
SPEAKER HERE
Mrs. Wilder of Fargo Urges
People Not to Sign Petit
tiOnS in Circulation

Expressing pride in North Da-
kota's prohibition record and warm
ing the public not to sign petitions
being circulated by the Better Citi-
zo:ship association to have repeal
of the prohibition amendment to the
state constitution voted on at the
primary election next June, Mrs.
Kate S. Wilder of Fargo, director of
child welfare ad health for the state
Woman's Christian T,mDcrance I'm
ion, addressed a large group of PEG.
pie at the Baptist church Monday
nj yht. The meeting was under the
auspices Of the local chapter of the
w. G. T. Z.
Miss Ruth Gordon played several
piano solos, and the Rev. C. A.
Stephens, pastor of the First Bap.
fist church, gave scripture reading
s.1d prayer.
"Why e the people so discontent-
cd about prohibition when the
amendment was adopted by the larg-
est majority that any amendment
was ever given?" asked Mrs. Wilder.
c-hould Not BE Discouraged
"Seven years of prohibition have
done more toward the elimination of
drink than all the years before, and
we should not b. discouraged" she
c tinued. "People are in such a
hurry nowadays. God did not do
things in a short day. Gods day
WIS long dsJ."
Contending that prohibition is the
best method of dealing with the
liquor traffic and that violations Of
the prohibition law are not on the
in.re;: 2, Mrs. Wilder appealed to
her audience no. to aid vets in
spreading their wet propaganda" by
repeating what they say.
North Dakota came into the
union dry, and all states and even
other countries Of the world are
v tc.. IN" this state" the speaker
said. "The vets want to vote on the
question again, 1T it will not be
settled Gscn if it is put up to ref
erendum. The lir~:or interests never
have abided by the law nor will they
abide by the decision if the question
comes to vote.
Battle Already Won
"Why vote upon it and fight bat.
tie against that which is already
won? There are so many good PEG.
pie who know they are on the side
of prohibition and think the cause is
so sc that theydo nothing to aic
it. These people need to be awak.
ened.
"Unless you wish to bring back The
saloon with all it's degrading influ
ence. do not sign ,ctitions circulated
by the vets, and do all you can tt
keep others from signing. The mi.
nority makes so much noise one
would think they were the majority.
Hrs. Wilder went from Bismarck
to Crystal Springs, where she ad'
dressed another meeting.

INSANITY T0BE
GE0RGE>,REMUS'
MAIN DEFENSE
Defendant Appeals From Sug.
gestion That Tests Will Be
Limited to Three

Cincinnati, Nov. 16.-(AP)-The
three tests Of temporary insanity
commonly applied in Ohio will be
applied in George Remus' murder
trial as result Of q decision today
by Judge Chester Il. Shook.
Remus, in a long and heated ap-
peal to the bench, demanded that the
tests be nsidered as not limited
to three, but take in possibly 10 or
Is or 90"
The clash between Remus, ap-
pcaring as his own counsel in his
trial for uxoricide, came when
Charles p. Taft, II. prosecuting at
torney, asked this question of
Thomas Green, 70-year-old vcnire-
man:
"Thc court will charge you that
there are three tests of legal iDsan-
ity which the jury must apply in
their consideration Of this case.
Will you allow this portion Of the
courts charge rather than any ideas
of your own or commonly accepted
ideas as to insanity"
Jury Retires
Hc ~ y was ScHI 1Ioiu VIC IOOui
while Remu. sought to have the
court rule that other tests might be
applied.
Judge Shook finally ruled that
Mr.. Taft might continue to ask the
question in qualifying jurors.
The three tests are:
1st-Was the accused free agent
in forming the purpose to kill?
2nd-Was he at the time capable
Of Judging whether the act was
right or wrong?
3rd-Did he know at the time that
it was an offense against the laws
of God and man?
