THE CAPITAL AND LABOR
Mercer, N. D.,
March Z. 1882.
Editor, Tribune:
We are for Bismarck for capital.
There is no sound eason that we can
see, for moving the capital. We al
ways thought that Jamestown would
withdraw and not force this needless
expense Of putting it up for a vote.
We notice in the Peoples Forum
that jamestown man tells that a
man at Bismarck, presumably legis-
lator. had asked him What James
town had to Offer" Well, we should
think jamestown would have to offer
to pay for all expense and property
losses connected with such a move
II said man made such a remark, he
may not have had bride in mind
at all. We hope the issue will be
decided in no uncertain terms March
18th, so that construction of our cap
itol can begin on Capitol Hill, where
we are all used to having the capitol.
Then work can begin at once and it
will give work to lots of people. If
jamestown should win, we expect
there would be lawsuits and this and
that to delay construction for a long
time.
Yours truly,
C.. P. CHRISTENSEN.

Editor, Tribune:
In regard to Mr.. Henry Comnes'
article on prohibition in The Tribune
Feb. % that anyone who was for the
dry was either a prohibitionist or a
bootlegger-well,h he can class me as
a prohibitionist, as he wants the gov
eminent to go into making drunk
ards. He talks like there was no
bootleggers when there were saloons,
but beg to differ with him, as I
know right in Fargo a fellow who
was supposed to be serving 80 days
in Cass county Jail and was out ex-
ercising the sheriff's horse and got
on a drunk while he was supposed
to be serving time. Some of those
soaks used to tell you what the farm
ers were losing on their barley. We
are tickled to death to have some
OF the barley here In North Dakota
to feed our hogs instead of making
DRINKS out of our citizens. Just take
a look at the city of Moorhead, Mimi,
with it's 81 saloons and their wine
rooms filled up with young girls and
women. Would Mr. Commes want
that back again? He never saw the
time that any young fellow couldn't
get booze when he wanted it. There
was always someone willing to get 1t
for him or to give him a drink. He
is like the fellows who tell you how
much better it would be II they could
get drink of the good old stuff
instead of the poison they sell now.

MOVE ON PROHIBITION

Underwood, N. D.,
March Z, 1882.
Editor. Tribune:
In March issue writer who signs
as North Dakotan' says "A prohi-
bition vote now staged by the Liter
airy Digest shows which way the wind
blows" He doesn't say which way it
blows, for or against. but the latter
part of his letter indicates the vote
lis against.
But isn't it fact that straw votes
are not reliable? Any wet SYM
!pathizer can vote as many times as
he can get hold of the Literary Di-
gest voting cards. as no name is
signed. and the vets sure are busy.
Here are some facts that also show
the wind is blowing very dry yet:
During 1881 forty three of the 48
state legislatures were in session. And
the opponents Of prohibition, boast
ing of their power, introduced lis
different wet measures but every re-
peal measure was defeated. and only
II minor measures were enacted into
law.
American people are getting tired of
a prohibition law that doesn't pro-
hibit.' I ask does the law against
murder and stealing entirely stop
| those crimes?
Furthermore. that prohibition laws
curb and curtail the use and sale of
liquor the brewers themselves admit
A report from the brewers year
book shows per capita consumption of
/ liquor in wet states was 1923 gals. In
partially dry 4.37 gals, in dry, 1885
i gals.

hibition. read this: England. wet

| America. dry, has one accident for

Why then say prohibition has ut
terly failed to serve the PURPOSE for
which it was intended? Does North
Dakotan want stricter law, or could
he tell us Of better law? If so, let
us hear II

sterling comedians as Billy Fields
and Chuck Callahan, the auto
Girls" current at the Gayety, Of
fers real entertainment for bur
lesque fans.
Fields and Callahan need little
mention, as their capabilities are
well known to local audiences.
They are helped by a stout little
comic, Bobby Vale, who played
here about six weeks ago and who
is a welcome addition to the
troupe.
Gertie and Rae Reed, either of
whom can give clever individual
performance, are outstanding,
especially in a difficult interpreta-

first act. Miss De Haven, besides
lending good looks to the show,
steps out in a toe dance to songs
which are sung in fine style by
Bert Saunders.

Williams Stars in
Feature at
Earle

An interesting, well made picture
and a diversified vaudeville bill
are presented thAr week at the
Earle. The film feature is 1.-THE
Mouthpiece," First National
production evidently based on the
career of the notorious criminal
lawyer, Fallon, of New York.
Some of the feats credited to him
are actually reproduced in the
picture.
Warren William has the CEN
trail role of Vincent Day, and
Aline MacMahon that of his hard
boiled secretary who is secretly
in love with him. Day, however,
is a ladies' man and can't see
the secretary for star dust. We
see him first as an assistant
prosecutor. Through a tragic
turn Of fate, he sends an inno-
cent man to the chair. He re-
signs, declaring that he will never
prosecute again. Instead, ne
takes up the defela2a Of criminals,
and finding that the guilty can
and will pay much more than
the innocent, his practice eventu.
ally revolves mainly among gang
sters and professional crooks.
The romance Of a little Ken
lucky girl and her boy sweetheart,
a bank messenger who is falsely
accused of theft, turns Day from
his shady paths to the right, and
leads to an ending on which you
can write your own ticket. Sidney
Fox, William Janney, Ralph Ince
and Guy Kibbie have important
roles in support.
The vaudeville is headed by
Peter Higgins, the radio tenor,
who won an ovation. Wally Yer
non, "the vagabond aristocrat."
appealed to the crowd with his
comedy patter, and Russell, Mar.
conf and Jerry present a musical
act intermingled with comedy.
The bill opens with a dancing act
including Betty Jane Cooper and
the Lathrop Brothers.
The news reel shows Burgoo
King winning the Kentucky Derby
and has other shots of interest.

hope you have enjoyed the en-
tertainment.
America and England are
closer today than they have
ever been before. Talk OF trou-
BILE between these two great ma
lions is sheer nonsense. We are
cooperating more smoothly
these days than at any time in
our histories"
Applause from the gathering
rang out generously. Cobb slow
" picked UP the subscription
list and held it aloft.

list" he continued, land I find
that it contains plenty OF evil
dence of American and British
cooperation. Even in such a
minor matter as a collection for
British orphans, I discover the
utmost cooperation.

money and the British supply

EDDIE MILLER Mr.. Miller's
first theater success was with the
Come over Here Revue" staged
at Hamerstein's London Opera
House. ziegfeld next signed him
for his "F'rolics" and from there
he went to the Shuberts to ap-
pear in a series of their famous
Passing Shows" at the Winter
Garden.
Mr.. Miller will also be remem-
bered for his rendition of the
theme song in the motion pic
ture "Noah's Ark" and his short
feature subject for the screen,
1.-THE One-Man Quartette," pro-
duced by Vitaphone.
The Friars, of which club he
is a prominent member, idealize
him and no Friars' F'rolic,
whether in their club house in
New York or in the Auditorium
here, is complete without the

HOLLYWOOD, May 16.-Ann

yet awhile.
Bed OF Roses" the picture in
which she was to assume a new
and more colorful screen person
atty, has been postponed in ia
vor Of the Phillip Barry play,
animal Kingdom" originally
planned as her second produc-
ton.
The change is one OF expedi-
ence. Both Ann and David
Selznick always have wanted
Leslie Howard to repeat his
Broadway role in Animal King
DOM" But now it develops that
Howard would not be available
at the later date. Rather than
lose him, the studio decided to
change its production schedule.
This means that Ann will have
to curtail her vacation, but she
sees the necessity and has agreed.
AS matters stand now, BED OF
Roses" simply will switch places
with the Barry comedy. It is
the original story by Adela Rog-
ers Hyland.
Among the bigger laughs Of the
week is that telephone converse
ton between Arthur Caesar and
Edward Anthony Brown, the

It seems that Brown was out

Caesar.
