"This Republican cry of wolf,

From the Republican candidate
down, party orators are seeking

Bar Boards Answer

Members of the State Bar Board
through Chairman S. D. Adams gave
a proper answer to William Langers
bombastic invitation that they at
tend the trial in which he is made
defendant by a Donnybrook, N. D.,
widow. seeking the return of $4,000
in fees and like amount in notes
or contract for a specific service
which she alleges he has not per-
formed.
No charge has been made to the
Bar Board that Governor elect Lam
ger has violated the ethics of his
profession. Mr.. LANCER as an attor-
ney is probably as we'll yersed as
anyone relative to the procedure be-
fore the bar board
He knew when he wrote the in
vitation that under the rules Of the
court they could not conduct con-
currently bar board hearing and a
simple suit by farmers widow to
recover $4,000 which she asserts Mr..
LANCER never earned.
The Bar Board most properly in
forms Mr.. LANCER just what its pow
ers are and what the proprieties of
the situation are. Mr.. Langer's in
vitation to the Bar Board was moth
ing more than bid for public SYM
pathy or cheap political bluff.

Hang Tn the Moleskins

The football season has waned and
died. only a few post-season games
remaining to be played, and the
moleskin warriors are giving way to
those who play basketball and ice
hockey.
With the pigskin laid away and the
America, Conference and ALL
state teams having been selected, it
is possible to assay the situation in
the light Of history rather than of
current argument.
For some mysterious reason, and
because the American people dote on
champions, there seems a general
tendency to yield the national palm
to the University of Southern Cali
fornia. Those who do so make a
gracious gesture which should be APP
preciated by the Western school but
not taken too seriously. The cold
analysis of an Illinois professor rates
Michigan as the national champion
and adherents of Colgate will in
quire with some grimneSs how any,
one gets that way who speaks of
championships and forgets Colgate
All three teams were unbeaten and
Colgate was not scored upon. How
can anyone with much respect for
facts select champion from this
group. A round-robin would be nee
essary to really determine the issue
and that would be impossible.
In the state the situation is much
less complicated and Bismarck will
join with the rest OF North Dakota
in acclaiming Mandan's Braves as
state high school titleholders. The
Capital City can do so with both pride
and pleasure in the success which has
come to the boys from across the river.
Theirs is unquestionably the best
record of any team in the state and
they earned their honors fairly.
Even as Bismarck, after a rather
poor season, looks forward to making
better showing next year, 1t ex-
tends the hand of congratulation to
its traditional rival but with the
friendly warning that We will do our
best to shift the crown about six
miles when the next season rolls
around
