The senate received the bill and re-

Then, taking up consideration of the
measure, the committee heard the Wig

OF the bill, notably the proposed SELF

A Good Idea

Individual firms and motoring
groups are advocating a slogan for the
motorist which, II it takes" may
do much to eliminate accidents on
the highways. It is stop five min
utes in every hour"
It is based on recognition OF the
fact that carbon monoxide gas dulls
the senses and that some of this dead
ly product accumulates in almost
every automobile while in operation.
Usually it Is not enough to be no.
ticeable, but it is sufficient to dull
the senses Of the driver just enough
to make him incapable Of meeting en-
ergencies with the full power OF his
faculties.
Tests conducted on automobiles in
Massachusetts, showed that most of
the cars selected at random contained
carbon monoxide in appreciate guam
titles. A fair percentage contained it
to such an extent as to endanger
the health OF the occupant and dull
his mental and physical processes.
Such a condition, Of course, is not
only a menace to the man who is the
unsuspecting victim but to others
whom he may meet on the highway.
BY stopping five minutes, with the
motor shut Oft, the gas could be clear
ed from the car and the driver re-
freshed. The idea seems good one,
for 1t is obvious that the human ele-
nent is most to blame for our high
accident ratio.
In North Dakota, for example, rail-
road grade crossings were held to be
the major cause Of accidents only q
few years ago. Most OF these now
have been eliminated but the death
toll mounts higher and higher.
It is time that we look within our
selves for the cause of accidents,
rather than continue to blame them
on external factors-and stop five
minutes out Of every hour on the road.

The Quintuplets Live

Few things stress the advancements
which have been made in medical
science quite SO strongly as the fact
that those Canadian quintuplets still
live.
In the past, doubtless, similar bio
logical phenomena have occurred,
but there is no case on record where
the progeny lived. In this case we
have country physician keeping
alive five tiny babes who, in the not
30 distant past, would have had
ecant chance Of survival.
But it is strictly in tune with the
times that this should be SO, for
each three years Of the twentieth CEN
fury has added approximately a year
to the life expectancy Of the average
pewborn baby.
Responsibility for this statement
rests with the medical department
OF a great insurance company which
analyses vital statistics as guide
to its business.
It is true that this authority credits
most Of the gain to the reduction In
tuberculosis mortality and to the prac-
tical elimination Of diphtheria, but
there are also q thousand additional
reasons. Sanitation has improved
knowledge Of infant feeding and Of
adult diet has been broadened. Medi.
cal and surgical aids have been in
vented and improved, and general
knowledge has increased.
It is all . part Of the advancement
Of civilization. Had similar progress
been made IN solving our troublesome
economic prohlssnS We might well b
approaching that utopia Of which
every generation has dreamed.

mand for black coal. Not only that,
but cheap electricity from such a

electricity were cheap enough, we
could use it for heating our homes

The Test Is Before Us
Cargo FORUM

When William LANCER addressed
Fargo audience Monday evening he
avoided all reference to the imposing
array of facts, developed against him
in his recent trial in the United States
Court. by declaring that he was
barred from discussion Of those
things that had to do with the charges
upon which he mad been convicted.
Probably that Is Mr.. Langer's only
way out. so far as the people of North
Dakota are concerned, but his attitude
is in marked contrast with his free
discussion Of the charges prior to his
trial. and while the charges were
pending. Then he was ready to dis
cuss them and did discuss them from
many political platform.
The facts that were revealed in his
Bismarck trial, however, are such as
to make defense Of his record impos-
sible and he must of necessity con-
fine himself to the more or less yelled
contention that, after all, his troubles
arise from supposed Vaccinations on
the part OF corporations" and such
like. His troubles he would lay to
the doors Of utilities, newspapers that
have not supported him, to other ele-
ments out Of tune with his admins
tration.
AS matter of fact, nobody but Mr..
LANCER is responsible for his troubles.
He pleaded in the United States Court
that the whole scheme for the ex-
traction Of money from the pockets
of public employees was his own; that
he thought it up while he was sick
abed in the early weeks of his tenure
OF office, and that it was carried out
under his direction.
Thereafter, Mr.. LANCER admitted on
the witness stand that he had person.
ally taken more than $4,000 out of
the funds Of the North Dakota Lead
er and had transferred them to his
personal account, pretending to the
Court and to the jury that the Nom
partisan League lowed" him more
than 200, and that he was collect

newspaper and through the levy on
employees.
