Many Offers of Support

Never in the history OF North Dakota has such an un.
called for and unjust contest been thrust upon a com.
uunty as that which a few jamestown enthusiasts have
precipitated in filing capital removal petitions with the
secretary of state. This phase of the affair has i'm
pressed thousands of voters in the state. Wires. letters
and many personal calls have come unsolicited by the
local committee offering support and suggestions as ia
the conduct of the capital retention campaign.
Bismarck citizens, through this committee, are express
Ing gratitude at such spontaneous support. It is coming
from all quarters Of the state and even from counties
bordering upon Stutsman, refhcting the sense of fair
play which is prevalent among the rank and file of the
voters of this state.
There is no defined plan Of campaign as yet, but such
IS in the making. Little can be done in an active way
until the legislature disposes of the capitol commission
bill and there is a decision whether a special election
will be called.
1t is estimated by state officials that at least $175, 900
will be the cost to the taxpayers of an election. To this
must be added the expense faced by Bismarck and
Jamestown citizens in the bitter and futile contest that
must ensue. The ultimate cost has been placed any
where from s250.000 to $780, 600. No one knows def
initely, but that it will be 4 most expensive affair every
one realizes.
Then there is another side of the picture which the
voters will weigh carefully and that Is the state property
which must be abandoned in Bismarck If the capital IS
changed to jamestown. No accurate figures have been
compiled but it is closely estimated that public and pri-
vate property which will be wantonly sacrificed If Bis
mark loses will run into the millions. This fact is
ignored by the jamestown boosters who think 1t perfectly
legitimate to practice sabotage.
Efforts to put the capitol commission bill in a political
jam and use it as a %two-edged sword to force political
advantage have been only partially successful.
The local committee has done an excellent job. The
members have kept their heads and have refused to be
diverted from the main issue. There is no division in
Bismarck over how the situation should be handled.
There is the utmost unanimity of feeling on the matter.
Efforts to reflect something to the contrary come from
nonresident sources universally ignored and entitled to
no consideration at all.
The directors of the Association of Commerce, REIN
forced by other support, are hewing carefully to the line
and nothing is being left undone to support the best
interests of Bismarck. They refuse to recognize political
considerations and they ignore, justly, any personal
squabble that may be injected into the contest, for such
unfortunate irritations always are present in civic con-
tests of this nature.

AT THE MOVIES

Strange as it may seem, George Ar
Hiss, dean of the stage and screen,
was once actually discharged for in
competency, and it was the very
subtlety that marks his portrayal of
character that lost him his part.
1t was during his first years on
the stage that MI. Arliss, who is now
to be seen in Warner Bros "Old Eng
fish" at the Paramount theatre, was
given the role of villain while touring
with a company through the English
provinces.
Because of his inclination toward
honest acting, which prevented him
from tearing a passion to tatters as
the prevailing mode of heavies
OF the day, young Mr.. ArliSs was given
notice, with the explanation that he
was not strong enough for the part.
"The Devil" was his first starring
vehicle, but 1.-THE Green Goddess" and
"Disrael," both of which he was later
starred IN by Warner, Bros, and "Old
English" have been his most successful
starring vehicles.

Three Months Traffic
Deaths Show Decrease;
Years Total Larger

Deaths due to automobile accidents
in Minnesota in August, September
and October, 1881, were fewer than
in the corresponding months in 1880,
according to statistics gathered by
an eastern insurance cmopany. The
decrease, however, was not sufficient
to offset the increase in the first sew
en- months of the year, each one OF
which recorded more fatalities than
the same month in 1880.
The total number of deaths due to
automobile accidents in the January
to July period was 326 in 1881 and
258 in 1880. From August 1 to Oct
ober 81 there Were 165 deaths this
year and 1873 in 1880. The total for
ten months is 491 in 1881 and 446 in
1880.
Increased traffic, especially during
the open winter months, may account
for part of the increase, but most Of
it is due to carelessness, says High
way bulletin. Just a reasonable
amount of caution, on the part of
motorists and pedestrians alike,
would cut down the accident rate to
fraction Of the present figure.

withdrawing more than 20 per cent
of his savings account in any one six
months period, and not more than ten
per cent of his commercial checking
account balance remaining on Decem-
Der IL, 1881, in any one month dur
ing the next ten months following the
signing Of the agreement. This ap-
plies to deposits in the bank on Sat-
urday and prior thereto, and does not
effect deposits made thereafter, or
new account opened since that date.
The agreement also stipulates that
the board of directors have authority
to modify or abrogate the terms of
the agreement when in their opinion
it would best serve the interests of
the bank and it's depositors. By this
means it will be IMPOSSIBLE for any
heavy depositor to make a disastrous
withdrawal. In fact, it will preclude
the possibility of withdrawing any Of
the time deposits within year, and
then only in an orderly manner.
Checking accounts will be treated in
the same manner, allowing only or
derly Withdrawals to take place each
month";"

Bank Closing Fear

Prevent Bank from Want

"Depositors of the State Bank of
Franklin held a meeting at the Le-
gion hall on Saturday evening which
will no doubt spell the removal of all
possibility of that institution ever
being called upon to close it's doors
because of depleted reserve, and
which will insure the successful
operation despite the elements which
have operated to close banks all over
the Northwest the past few years, /"
declares the Tribune.
"The method by which this was
done is one worked out by George
Susens, secretary of the Minnesota
Bankers association, and is the one
and only method by which the clos
ing of banks can be effectively stop
ped.
"Mr. Susens presented his plan to
the depositors whereby the stability
of the bank could be assured. By
this plan each depositor signed an
agreement wherein he agrees to re-
frain from Withdrawing more than 25
percent Of his time deposits at the
end of one year; 25 per cent at the
end of two years and so per cent to

MUSKRAT is FORECASTER

When it comes to forecasting
weather, leave it to the instinct Of
animal life. Take the muskrat for
an example. These animals like the
water so well that they build their
homes it in, and enter through the
back door which is via the water
route. But did they go through the
strenuous work of building their
homes in the water this year? They
did not. Old grand dad muskrat
looked over the weather eituation and
announced that We would have an
abundance of rain this fall. So the
families built their homes on dry land
along the waters edge. The rains
raised the level of the lakes to such
heights that their homes were almost
submerged. When you want to fore
cast the weatehr, watch the muskrat.

take under consideration q demand
from the county grand jury that
they pass a resolution directing the
county physician and any other
public officials to pay into the

uty district attorney, notifying the
board of supervisors of the action
taken by the grand jury in direct
ing them to pass such resolution

requiring the county physician and
his aides to turn all fees into the
county treasury followed an invest
