DRIED BEEF


Dried beef is one of the most de-
licious and tasty meats, but is not
quite as digestible as the fresh beef
because the smoking and sailing
have had toughening effect upon
its protein. The usual method Of
preparing beef for drying is to soak
it for about ten days in q mixture Of
salt, sugar or molasses and, usually
q small amount Of saltpeter. The
meat is then taken out and smoked
like ham, cut into thin slices, and
dried. The thick flank or round
steak is the part generally used.
Even though not quite as digest
ible as when fresh, dried beef is
quite wholesome if soaked in water
to remove the surplus salt, and has
added advantages of keeping for 9
long time in almost any climate and
being easily transported because OF
its light weight.
When properly prepared dried
beef shows a fine, firm, red texture
and has the agreeable tasty flavor
which accompanies all smoked
meats.
The Indians found that by mixing
dried beef, buffalo, moose meat or
venison with acid berries, dried cur
rants or raisins, very concentrated
food was produced, which would sus-
tain life almost indefinitely and was
for this reason especially suitable
for carrying on long expeditions.
In preparing Clipped beef. it
should be removed from the first
water in which it has been soaking,
then boiled in fresh water. Cream
dressings with flour should not be
used, but some of the following
recipes will be found both appetizing
and wholesome:

In 1919 Governor Lynn ]. Frazier
called special session of the Legis-
!ature. In his message to that body
"There SEEMS to be a general
dissatisfaction with the present
moneys and credits law and
recommend that it be repealed to
prevent needed money being
withdrawn from the state"
The law referred to was q law
taxing moneys and credits and
doubtless Governor Frazier had dis
covered that the money lenders had
q way of compelling the borrowers
to pay the tax. He desired to stop
this practice. In carrying out Gov
ernor Frazier's Recommendation, the
Legislature passed . bill exempting
money and credits from taxation.
That law read:
Moneys and credits, as the
same are defined in Section 2074
Of the Compiled Laws Of North
Dakota for the year 1919 in
GLIDING bonds and stocks, are
hereby exempted from taxation
It is plain that the Legislature, in
carrying out Governor Frazier's rec
concentration, exempted moneys
and credits, including stocks,
from taxation. So this was not
done by the courts At all. It is true
an effort was made to get the Su-
preme Court Of the state to say
that bank stock was not stock, but
everybody knows that bank stock
is stock, and the Supreme Court
would not make itself ridiculous by
deciding otherwise. It is not the
business Of the court to make the
law. It must be guided by the law
as made by the Legislature and that
is all that was done in this instance.
This law was passed unanimously
in the house Of representatives at
Bismarck, and there were only four
votes against it in the state senate.
Governor Frazier signed it. No
candid man should blame the Su-
preme Court for what the Legisla-
ture has done.
Our Supreme Court is made up of
men Of high character and standing.
II your personal affairs were placed
in their hands, you would feel secure.
Any charge that they are the mere
puppets Of any business or political
organization is viciously false and
should be resented by every right
thinking man and woman. Il il the
fact that no truthful charges involv.
ing the fitness Of these men for their
posistions can be made that leads
interruptions politicians to make
such false charges against them. It
is Of the utmost Importance that
honorable and qualified men BE- kept
upon our highest court. Thu voters
should vote to retain Judges Nuessle,
Burr and Birdzell. Their names are
on the No-Party Ballot.

region in the western part Of North Carolina, and the

These Cherokees are remnant. Nearly century
ago the United States army undertook to move the
Cherokees from the Great Smokes to what is now
Oklahoma. Most of them went; but few hid in the
remote ravnes and forests and chung to their ancient
hunting grounds. They still there, and they live
much as they did before the white man came.
To be sure, they the white mans clothes and

that the tribe lives within nights train ride OF the
nations capital. They the edge Of one Of the
most up-todate popuous sections Of the globe; yet
they live in a sort of backwater, hidden deep in the

not so much as a slip Of paper
changes hands in the proceeding.
A nod Of the head or the raising Of
q hand, a single spoken word is all
that is necessary to close q deal.
No money changes hands.
The office address of most Of these
traders is the sidewalk corner. Old
postmen know this. Some receive
mail addressed to them without q
street number. The inside Of coat
pocket is often the only business
place known to the individual deal
ers.
Most Of them are cutters, polish
ers and settlers. They attend the
auctions Of the lower Bowery. Hav-
ing secured the rems, they make
them up into rings, pendants, and
such. Then they appear in the
market place.
Noon is the time of greatest ac-
tivity. One by one the traders join
the little group. The gems pass
from hand to hand for inspection.
There is an utter lack Of suspicion
as this hand-passing goes on. Out
come the tiny magnifying glasses
Of the expert, Each gem is given
careful scrutiny.
The strange honesty Of this pro-
ceeding continues ad infinitum. A
trader frankly states what he paid
for his gems and demands only q
certain commission to reward him
for his shrewdness. If questioned,
he will flash out his purchase list
and reveal the figures.
Obviously, what trader is seek
ing is q quick turnover. "Take q

and resold half a dozen times, with

Washington, Oct. TO- This gov
eminent might not be SO peeved
over the Anglo French naval agree
ment if it could discover just what
was the idea.
At this writing President Cool
idge, the State Department and the
Navy Department are all quite put
out by the course Britain and France
adopted in making such an accord,
reacting against American interests,
without tipping US off beforehand.
They are also equally puzzled as
to just what those two nations had
in mind. The Anglo-French expla-
nation, if accepted, would leave no
room for doubt that the British and
French foreign ministers were guilty
Of dumb piece Of business. Our
government can hardly believe that
they are as stupid as they appear to
be by their own admission.
Yet no other explanation presents
itself. Here's what has happened:
Previous naval limitation confer
ences had been severely hampered,
prevented or broken up by q conflict
Of interests. The United States
wanted plenty Of big cruisers, Brit
ain wanted lots Of little cruisers and
France wanted q swarm Of sub
marines. Britain was especially
panicky about French submarines
after her World war experience.
France was even more frightened OF
Britain's navy.
So the two nations got together
and apparently revived the entente
cordiale which they had before the
war. Naval supremacy and military
supremacy in Europe would ally
themselves for mutual interest
France could have all the submarines
and troops she wanted and France
would support Britain's cruiser de-
mands at the next naval arms con.
ference. The United States woulc
be left holding the bag. Large
cruisers would be the only things
limited.
If they hoped to keep any Of this
deal secret it was vain hope. Tit
thing was bungled from the start

foreign minister, let part of the ca

PEOPLES FORUM
FALSE CHARGE REFUTED
Editor Bismarck Tribune:


An effort Is being made by certain
misguided or interruptions politiJ
clans to make it appear that the
State Bankers Association has
plunged the Supreme Court into pol
itics and that the reason the assoc
citation is interested in rejecting
the present members Of the court,
Judges Nuessle, Burr and Birdzell,
is that they are grateful for I GER
tain decision involving taxes on bank
stock. This claim is doubly false.
First, the Bankers Association has
not endorsed any candidates for the
Supreme Court or any other office;
and. second, it has no reason to be
especially thankful to the Supreme
Court on account Of bank stock being
relieved from taxation. The facts
are simple. Here they are:

Editorial Comment
THE MEANING OF A PAROLE
Minneapolis JournaD

So far has been made known to the public there is
better reason in the present month Of October 1925
than there in April of the same year, for parong
Stanley Mccormick from Federal prison. II the De-
partment Of Justice had to acknowledge last spring,
after protests against parole boards recommends
tion that twenty months of good conduct not
sufficient to outweigh nearly five years spent in cheat
ing the law after the commission of the for which
he convicted then the public will find it hard to
see whv twentysx months of good conduct in prison
be sufficiently greater weight to turn the scales
in McCormick's favor.
Here is man who kept out of prison by long SER
les of tricks and delays and evasions from the late
spring Of 1923 until the late summer of 1926. He
found guilty of participating in conspiracy to dispose
OF some two million dollars worth of stolen bonds.
His incarceration was not effected until nearly five
years. Can be that what he did before the law
aged to shut him away is Of little consequence beside
his conduct in place where, in the main, conduct
not be other than good? What virtue has the man
with his subsequent offenses against justice, in bak
ing mans ordered system of selfprotecton against,
and punishment for crime? And what the agency

LOOSE TALK

A New Jersey jury has decided that Mrs. Helen Bald
win, leading D. A. R. member from the town of Boon
ton, cannot collect any libel damages from the Rev.
William H. Bridge.
Last winter Mrs. Baldwin wrote letter to local
newspaper, Illuminating against the red menace and
declaring that John Haynes Holmes. Oswald Garrison
Willard, Jane Adams and others playing the
Communist game" The Rev. Bridge didn't like this
and wrote letter of protest against what he said
"lying mputatons." Mrs. Baldwin promptly sued for
$4,000 libel damages.
At the trial it developed that the lady didn't quite
know what Communism is. Miss Adams and Messrs.
Holmes and Willard are radicals, or liberals; but they
have never preached Communism They had preached
pacfsm; but the court ruled that "pacfsm is not
be associated with Communism" So the lady lost

"DIZZY HEIGHTS"

One thing that probably deters many people from
taking flights in airplane dirgibe is the fear Of
great heights The very numerous people who get
dizzy when they look down from the top Of cliff
high building are, naturally, bit shy at going up in
airship.
But Amelia Earhart, transatlantic flyer says in the
current Cosmopolitan that these people forget their
fears.
"Such dizziness is entirely lacking in plane she
writes. 1.-THE person peerng from the top of high
building is affected definitely by the physical contact
between his body and the street 20 stories below.
This contact, support creates in his mind the alb
solute feeling of height carrying with it horror Of
falling.
I'm the of the plane, the passenger no longer
has any vertical solid connecting his body with the
ground Only atmosphere fills the space between the
plane and the cornfieds below. There is no

HOOVER ES
TICKET MAY BE
6. @. P. CHOICE
BY United Press Lease d Wire

KANSAS CITY, June IA Re
publican ticket of Hoover and
Dawes hitherto nver contemplated
in the public discussions of politi-
cal leaders, is being sought by
groups of Hoover leaders and Dawes
supporters on the eve of the nation
al convention.
The United Press learned today
that delegate friends of Vice Presi,
dent Dawes from the midwestern
farm delegation here submitted
Dawes name to the highest leader
in the Hoover campaign.
The answer came back that the
Hoover people are not picking vice
presidential candidates but that
Dawes would be acceptable.
A campaign thereupon was start
ed among the delegates to swing
them in line for this unexpected
combination. Many friends of
Hoover argued he would gain per
haps 80 western votes scattered
through many states, if Dawes, the
advocate of the equalization fee
system of farm relief, was chosen
ON the ticket.
"For the good of the party,
was the slogan of the ticket s ad-
herents. .iz ~ 1
All of Hoover's friends however,
have not fallen in line with the sug-
gestion.
"NOt so good, but if such a move
mcnt started in the convention you
couldn t stop it with a hurricane,
said one Hoover leader who knew
of the plan.
A North Dakota leader pledged
to Lowden said that at least foul
and perhaps more delegates from
his state would support such a tick
ct and that he knew of others SINH

READY TO WORK
by United Press Leased Wire

KANSAS CITY, Mo. June H.
Senator William f. Borah, Idaho s
presidential candidate set himself
up in an auspicious two-room hotel
suite here today, announcing he in
tended to see the Republican con-
Vcntion "answer the shocking use
of money in political and govern
ment affairs.
"Thc gravcst question in this
country is Shall honors and posi-
tions iii public life remain open to
any one except those who have
enough money to demand them, or
who have enough wealth to manipu-
late the politics of the country, -
Borah said
Borah brought along planks en-
bodyihg his idea of what the party
should say ON the questions he in
tends to raise as a member Of the
resolutions committee.
He has compromise plank which
suggests that the tariff should be
raised on all agricultural products
to promote diversifications.
He has a prohibition plank which
is stronger than any yet adopted.
He would condemn the shocking
use of money in political cam
paigns and would urge a treaty to
outlaw war.
.Inasmuch as the convention is
as nearly an expression Of the views
of the people as we can secure un-
der our system, here is the place to
formulate our program, Borah
said. "This is not a year of gen
eralities, but in my opinion a year
for a definite and specific program.
''If it cannot be secured in the
committee let us take it to the
floor of the convention and there
secure the openly recorded judg-
ment of those who are fresh from
the people.
