which Bismarck entered the fight and
pressed it to a successful conclusion.
Rather it was in the knowledge that
no battle is over until the last shot is
fired that Bismarck persisted in its
determination to keep the fort occu-
pied.
Now the effort is crowned with VIC
tory and one more threat against the
best interests of this community has
been repulsed, We shall be able to
turn our attention as a community to
constructive things because we will no
longer be compelled to use our ener-
gies in opposing the forces of destruc-
ton. Two different thrusts have been
turned back within the last two years
and those fights against adversely
have left Bismarck a stronger and
more united community than ever be-
fore in it's modern history.
There are things Bismarck needs to
further enhance its commercial and
industrial Importance and to improve
the service which it must render to
the surrounding farming community
If 1t is to meet its obligations to the
full. With our fights against destruc-
ton out of the way, the path is open
to renewed efforts toward construc-
ton.

The Open Path

Definite abandonment Of all propo-

surprise to Bismarck residents. It
had been foreshadowed by cancella-
ton of the order to move the troops

Nevertheless, the formal order an
nounced Monday was welcome In that

The order also demonstrates the
value Of the fighting spirit in building

up their hands and quit the fight to

A Game of Reprisal!
tMinot Daily News

! With the counting of the ballot,
at the Nov. election it was the sin.
cere hope of the people of North Da'
kota that politics would take vaca-
| ton: that the state and nation would
settle down behind the elected officers
and strive for a solution of the prob
lens that confront the country.
But in the case Of Mr.. LANCER. gov
ernor-elect, it would appear that he
will not permit any such course. 1t
is hardly conceivable that man hon
ored by the people of his home state
could give expression to statements
made by Mr.. LANCER at Dickinson last
week.
Referring to Dickinson business
men who selected James Cain to serve
as state senator over Adam Lefor,
who had Mr.. Langer's support, the
governor ELECT said:
They have made their bed and
will have to sleep in it. Oh my, how
they will be crawling around for IA
vors and when they do I'll tell them
to see Jim Cain. After they come
back I'm going to tell them to see
Mr.. Lefor.
Anything they want for their nor
NAL school or their city they'll have
to see him."
Is it possible that politics with Mr.
LANCER is a game OF repriSal?
Is the newly elected governor TAX
ing this means to tell the people OF
Dickinson that he proposes to serve
as governor of one faction only and
that their normal school is liable to
suffer because group of electors ia
vored Mr.. Cain for senator, and also
committed the objectionable sin OF
voting the Democratic ticket, which
Mr.. LANCER openly resented?
In all the history of North Dakota
politics there can be found no parallel
of Mr.. Langer'S attitude expressed at
Dickinson, an attitude which the rank
and file of the Nonpartisan league
will resent just as strongly as those
who may have voted for Mr.. Cain.
In North Dakota it has always been
the rule to bury the bitterness of
election in the ballot boxes. When a
victor at the polls derides a part of
his constituency for failing to elect
his men, as we'll as failure to vote
for him; when he intimates that state
institutions located in their districts
are liable to suffer, then it is time
for whole state to arise in resent
ment.
Should Mr.. LANCER see fit to os-
tracize every community that voted
the Democratic ticket Nov 8, he is
assuming man-sized task. If Mr..
Cain truly represents the people of
the Dickinson district he certainly is
entitled to a seat in the state senate,
whether it pleases Mr.. LANCER or not.
With his faction in control of the
governorship and every other office in
the state capitol, and both branches
Of the legislature it would appear to
the average person that Mr.. LANCER
would have ample reason to rejoice
even when speaking in a district that
had refused to subscribe to all his
views.

FATE OF THE PULPLESS TOOTH

III recent issue Ol lIlc 1lllIlOlS
Dental Journal, official organ of the
Illinois Dental society DR.. j. P. Buck
|, ley, Hollywood dentist, points out that
it is incorrect to consider a tooth
from which the pulp has been re-
moved dead" or "nonvital" or "devit-
allied" A dead tooth in the jaw
would not be tolerated by nature and
would soon be exfoliated. The author
goes on to explain, in technical Ian
guage, that the dental pulp (Which
believe the laity calls the "nerve') is
the tissue from which the dentin or
main bone-like part of the tooth Is
| formed and that the pulp disappears
in old age and the space it formerly
occupied becomes filled with secon-
Diary dentin. Yet the tooth is still
alive, being nourished from the It's
sues surrounding it and not from the
pulp.
All as clear as mud, isn't it? Never
mind. The essential idea is that the
pulpless tooth. the tooth in which the
nerve has been killed" or destroyed
| by injury or by infection, the tooth
with root canal filling, is not neces-
sarily foreign body, dead thing, a
menace to health. In many instances
it is not only inoffensive but useful,
, perhaps for the support of some
bridge or other denture or for the
maintenance of good position or oc-
clusion of the rest of the teeth, or for
maStication.
| DR.. Buckley asserts that root canal
work. good work, requires no more
skill than is required for almost every
operation the dentist is called upon ia
! perform. To that say Amen
mean, boo-oo to the idea that one
must go to a specialist for root canal
filling OR treatment.
DR.. Buckley further asserts that the
tooth with infection of the pulp (gan.
creme or abSceSs) seldom requires more
than three treatments over a perioc
of a week. for complete healing anG
finished filling. He goes further ant
says that prolonged treatments art
absolutely contraindicated and rather
increase irritation and do harm. II
the case can't be finished in weel
or SO. it is better to extract the tooth
and be done with it.
On the other hand. many leading
dentists believe pulpless teeth are
quite commonly potential source Of
chronic i'll health. They maintain
that infection of such pulpless teetl
is not definitely shown by X-ray pic
lures, but is insidious and may take
years to become evident. They think
not a few cases of heart. artery, join
and other chronic troubles at 40 or 81
are result of prolonged mild toxemis

A Fine Family.

Sometimes that is compli-
ment," said Thatcher Colt, "but
not in this instance. There is not
better trial lawyer in New York
City than George Maskell. The
father is a retired architect, de-
signed the Tablature Building and
three or four others-made mil

soften Geraldine has sat in that
very chair you occupy now and
told me about Doctor Maskell and
his family. His own brother,
George, the lawyer, has not visited
him in twenty long years. I think
that the doctor did sometimes see
his father, but not often. There
was a very strange situation in
that family. think Geraldine al
ways had the suspicion that the
doctor was a little mad. He was
given to unexpected and unex-
planned absences and he had a mad
passion for chopping down trees
he laughs about it and says he is
| initiating the exiled Kaiser in
Doom and that he loves the swing
of the axe"
"But you still haven't told me
why the family doesn't like Doctor
Maskell?" urged Thatcher Colt.

that l have always found the per-
sonality of the man repelling and

maybe it is the doctor who
won't have anything to do with
the rest of the family-the boot
may be on the other foot" sug-
gested Colt. Anyway, there's
nothing so far to confirm your

Successful in Death

SuCCCSSl I'll Ill DCdtu
DR.. w. F. Crewe's death took from
many Bismarck residents well-loved
friend and neighbor and deprived the
state Of real benefactor.
Unassuming, kindly and thoughtful
of others, DR.. Crewe drew many men
and women into his circle of friends
as often is the case with quiet per-
son Of outstanding merit. To these
his death comes as real personal
loss.
But even as they mourn him they
realize that it is given to few of us
TO see our dreams come true and that
DR.. Crewe reached this pinnacle be-
fore the Grim Reaper snatched him
away. He dies almost at the same
time that success crowned the efforts
of lifetime.
For DR.. Crewe was practical man
and it was through his own efforts
and those Of persons whom he en-
listed in the cause that his dream of
making North Dakota a state free
from bovine tuberculosis came true
Because he hewed to the line and
remained steadfast in pursuit of his
ambition, the state owes him a debt
of gratitude. Both the health and
the finances of its citizens have been
enhanced by DR.. Crewe's work.
The fact that this state is free
from bovine tuberculosis, or almost
completely so. enhances the value OF
both beef and dairy herds. This dis
ease is costly thing. It was costly
to eradicate it but the money was
we'll spent and now, shortly before
Doctor Crewe died, comes the word
that the state has been placed on the
accredited list by the federal govern
ment.
Curiously enough, the value of our
poultry and hogs has been enhanced
also. There is close relationship be-
tween tuberculosis in cows and in
other animals and packers pay slightly
more for animals and fowls which
have not been subject to this infection
because their losses after killing are
smaller. The financial fruits of DR..
Crewe's work, therefore, are evident.
But more important still is his con-
tribution to the public health by rea-
son of his achievement. 1t may be
difficult or impossible to trace cases
of human tuberculosis to bovine tu-
berculosis, nevertheless there is no
gainsaying the fact that milk from a
diseased COW is not as good for the
human being as milk from a healthy
Dne.
It may be true that germs in meat
are killed by cooking but that is small
comfort to the man who might not
know if his steak were from a sound
or a diseased steer.
Because the world moves swiftly
and many fine deeds go unrecognized,
it is improbable that DR.. Crewe's fine
record will receive the plaudits which
it deserves. But that would not worry
DR.. Crewe were he alive and his
friends need not mourn the fact now
that he is dead. It is given to few
men to fulfill so completely life's
destiny as was the case with him. 1t
may be that death was just little
less bitter because of the knowledge
that thing for which he had la
bored, often under severe handicaps,
had become reality.
