A REGRETFtJL ,OOD.BY

Bismarck will say good-b regretfully TO Col Thomas
w. Brown when he leaves this city early next month.
As soldier he has done splendid work at Fort Lin
coin. As resident Of this community he has won
merited popularity for his democracy and whoehearted
cooperation in local affairs.
Called here to regarrison army post vacant many
years he established cordial relations with the
people of this city and became valuable and esteemed
resident of the Bismarck community.
At the post he gave efficient administration He
has been sincerely interested in the welfare of the
under his command He is high type Of army
officer who loves his work and takes it's responsibilities
seriously. Whenever he called upon to cooperate
in any local activity his response instant and his
work effective
Fort Lincoln is considerable asset to Bismarck.
Major General II. A. Smith. commander Of the Seventh
Army Corps Area calls attention to the fact that it is
ideally equipped for regimental post. Its location
here is bringing early in August 400 members Of
the Citizens Military Training camp. That is some
thing well worth while.
Bismarck has certain definite responsibilities toward
this army post. One Of them would to be that
the garrisoned there receive hospitality than
it possible to extend them. Some day this city
will have a community hall and recreation center. Such
place would meet real need for the boys at Fort
Lincoln.
Bismarck is sorry to see Colonel Brown leave. Its
best wishes 20 with him wherever he goes for he made
many warm personal friends here.

Editorial Comment
CONFUSION OVER THE AMENDMENT
(Crand Forks Uerald)


The Herald has been informed that some voters ap-
pear to be confused the meaning Of the
constitutional amendment which is to be submitted on
June ~ and as to the method Of voting thereon. The
ballot will contain statement of the subject matter to
be voted followed by the question "Shal said
stitutional amendment be approved"
1t appears that voters have the impression that
the amendment which they expected to approve or
dsapprove is the prohibition clause in the state
stitution. This is mistake. The prohibition clause is
not amendment, but part Of the original constitu-
ton. When the state constitution adopted there
sharp differences of opinion in the constitutional
convention and the part Of the general public to
the propriey of prohibiting the manufacture and sale
OF liquor. Some persons who approved the main body
of the constitution preferred that the old license sys
tenn should be retained while others wished for out
right prohibition. In order that there might be fair
expression at the polls it arranged that voters
might vote for against the adoption of the constt
ton except the prohibition clause and separately for
against the prohibition rause In cash case the
orty vote the affirmative and the constitution
was adopted and an integral part Of it, and not
amendment the prohibition clause also adopted
Because Of the form Of voting the prohibition clause
has frequently been referred to amendment, and
this fact is doubtless responsible for whatever confusion
on the subject exists.
Advocates and opponents of the measure now to be
submitted should understand clearly the effect of
"yes" or mo" vote The amendment which is now
proposed is to repeal that section Of the constu
tion which prohibits the manufacture and sale of in
toxicating beverages. To vote Eyes" is to vote wet
TO vote mo- is to vote dry.

HOOVER THE POLITICIAN

It is true that Mr. Hoover had no special training as

shown him that some things be done as easily as
others. He may have concluded that if he was going
to engage in political battle at all he would have to
use political weapons. Possibly he may have smiled
to himself at the notion that politics is complex and
esoterc art which no amateur until after he has had
long years OF patient study and practice should
that he can master. Secretary Hoover has had the
opportunity for eight or nine years to observe the
methods OF American politicians, and perhaps he has
concluded that there m nothing very wonderful about
them. He may even have dipped into Burke and read

Not long ago young man had occasion to visit De-

great factories. What hope there that the
who served such monsters codd realize their divine
potentalities! None. The prophets of disillusion
were right. Man a machine.
But late at night, when the young boarded a
steamer continue his journey things looked different
The ship swung away from its pier and dropped down
the black tide of the Detroit river and the stars
out. The shapes of the factories and warehouses on

we always have reconciliation, but
it is an emotional one rather than
an intellectual one. And the real

Julia agreed with you, that I have
too much energy, and too little to

me to have a job that gave me some
outlet for my activities, if couldn't
adjust my life without one.
But she also agreed with you, that

IN NEW YORK

New York, June 13.-Chorus men
are to wear whiskers in next years
musical shows, according to the
Broadway gossips. The fashion
comes direct from Paris where this
summers gentlemen of the ensemble
have been growing their own.
The demand for "he-men" types
has been steadily growing. Only a
brawny athlete could engage in
some of the chorus business de-
manded by last seasons musical
shows. Add to such gymnasium
feats q set of whiskers and the
chorus man will finally succeed in
living down an ancient reputation
for effeminacy:
A savings bank in the Broadway
belt advertise. that more than 1000
actors and actresses have healthy
deposits.
There are, generally speaking, two
legends concerning the people of the
theater: one pictures them as profit
gate spenders who never have any
money; the other endows them with
fabulous salaries which they are
totally unable to squander because
of its size. Both legends have a
slight basis of truth. The average
actor is a bit careless with his means
and a few performers enjoy a very
fat income.
But the great rank and file Of
theater folk have learned by bitter
experience the moral of "the rainv
day." Saving few pennies is more
than sign of thrift; it is an utter
necessity. The lean seasons are as
| frequent as the fat seasons in the
stage world. Even the mightiest
have fallen and continue to fall. It

son to find very important per-

If it weren't for fear Of being

spondent might pass along some
Of these weird convention-eve re-
ports that are going the rounds.
He might be able to dig up, with
out much trouble, . story to the
effect that the virtuous Herbert
Hoover didn't bid high enough for
Republican delegates in the south.
Investigation revealed that the
largest sum Rush Holland, the for
mer assistant attorney general
lately working for Hoover, paid to
any negro leader on his southern
tour was $4,000. In an election
year. Of course, that's just pin
money.
BY all the rules Of smart politics
as played in the south in bygone
days, it was then up to some anti
Hoover worker to follow in Hol-
lands footsteps and SOW the acreage
all over again with bigger and bet
ter seeds, whercafter the crop pro-
duced would turn out to be one Of
anti-Hoover delegates. assuming
that Hoover didn't meet the raise.
In any event, the seeds would be
gone for good.
But this is a highly moral age
and no one would ever suppose that
such undercover tactics were being
employed today-excopt politicians
and cynical newspapermen. And if
any such shocking story is being
circulated here it will no doubt be
disproved by the balloting. In any
event, please remember that you
can't prove anything by me.
