Noodle Greeted by
Capacity Audience,
Wins Real Ovation
Points to Better Days

Poverty u the most ancient trag-
edy Of mankind and its oldest prob
lem, Noodle asserted, but 1t can be
banished by marshaling the resources
Of the state and by intelligent, unified
effort.
One Of the first steps, he said, Is
water conservation, looking forward
to the time when every drop Of rain
which falls In North Dakota will be
conserved that water levels may be
raised and the productivity Of the soil
restored.
More important still, he said, Is q
land classification program which will
help to locate people on really pro-
ductive soil. In Mckenzie county 1t
has been tried on q small scale and
has been successful, he asserted. The
survey there showed some Of the
finest soil was unused while in other
cases farmers were trying to scratch
out q living on soil where they could
not possibly succeed. Use Of the data
obtained In the soil survey has helped
tremendously In solving the problem
Of equitable distribution Of taxes.
Expressing belief that diversion OF
the Missouri river will become an &C.
tuality, Noodle said It Is only COM
mon sense to build this project. Plac-
ing the total cost at 81, COX, 900. he
pointed out that the government had
spent ~, 000,0 900 In cash in this state
during the last year and it seems only
wise to attack the underlying prob
lem rather than attempting to me-
diate the effects.
The way to begin on the diversion
program, he said, Is to send Henry
Holt to the senate, w. D. Lynch and
Gus Lamb to the house. They have
studied the problem and viii be able
to enlist the support Of the national
administration, he asserted.
win End 'ChiselinI'
Turning his attention to the con-
dition Of state government, Noodle
declared the state cannot afford the
corruption which accompanies the
five per cent and the two per cent
collection rackets and promised that
he would end such collections, no
matter by whom attempted, II he u
elected.
The crowd laughed as he read from

NVVs ~ A0O1e
Editor, Tribune:
Mrs. Bascom, In her letter to the
Peoples Forum, has apparently closed
her mind to any Of the advantages Of
repeal. For instance, just who invest.
ed the one and a half billion dollars!
Surely not the government. And the
$3.50, 000. 900 the government did re.
ceive represented that much more
than the nothing it had received the
previous year. She has apparently
forgotten the wave OF gangsterism
lawlessness and crime prohibition
caused, with the illicit trade In alcohol
an easy way to wealth. She has for
gotten the prohibition killings by men
who were called enforcement officials
and also by gangsters.
Today North Dakota has chance
to legalize something which exists in
every town and city In this state. and
that Is trade In alcoholic beverages OF
higher than legal (3h es) alcoholic
content. There Is no use drawing q
hermit's veil over our eyes or acting
the part Of . foolish ostrich when II
sticks its head in the sand. Liquor
flows freely all over the state and not
one cent Of revenue goes into the state
Golfers from it. To get this revenue
all that needs be done Is to repeal oul
long inadequate state prohibition laws
instruct the regulatory department to
collect for the necessary licenses and
the thing Is done, unless politics Il
mixed with It Is was previously the
case In the beer collections.
For long years the ardent prohibi-
tionists have labored to make North
Dakota dry. Preachers have exhorted
and condemned. WomenS clubs have
resolved and still those who want to
drink do so, although ct . greater
expense to themselves and greater
profit to the bootleggers than in states
where repeal Is in effect. Let's aban-

EQItO{S NOVe:
The writer Of the above letter
Is . distinguished North Dakota
citizen. A former president Of the
State Agricultural college, he Is
one Of the real builders Of North
Dakota. The Tribune long has
advocated that management Of
the mill be taken out Of politics,
entirely away from the politicians,
and placed under the control Of
the farmers themselves acting
through q responsible farm or
ganization. This, by the way, also
Is Tom Noodles plan.

Dear friend:
Your letter Of October q received
also copies Of hangers Leader.
I wish to thank you for same, not
because Of what y printed In those
copies, but because Of your sincerity
You probably think that I may have
neglected to subscribe for this paper
but the fact Of the matter Is have
received the LANCER Leader for Z
long time, probably ever since It wa
first printed. Part Of the summer ]
received two copies. The funny part
Of 1t Is I have never paid for the pa
per, unless I pay for 1t indirectly
when pay my taxes.
I noticed your paper has run out as
1t Is labeled o-34. Mine Is labeled 2
IS. You see mine Is paid for till
next July. You could probably ex-
plain how this happened.
In regard to sincerity, my interests
are ell on this farm. I have never
been an office seeker. You can Judge
my sincerity by that, Is you know
this to be true.
Where do we get our relief, our
safe banks, our wheat allotment, corn
hog program, our. CCC, etc? Not
from our state and its rotten politi-
clans. Would you rather have times
as they were under the former ad-
ministration with banks going broke,

We hear much about LANCER saving
our homes.
Many homes have been saved by
federal money. but do you hear any
one Dragging about saving these
homes? Federal money Is even saw
ing the Bank Of North Dakota. Do
you know Of anywhere else to get
money? I don't. I noticed some big
headlines In the Leader which you
marked with . red pencil, Demo

know this to be absolutely false, as I
heard Tom Noodle say that 1t was not
necessary to vote Democratic In or
der to get relief. The Leader seems
to be afraid that the Democrats, II
elected. will put this state in debt.
Have we forgotten who put this state
in debt?
We cannot get more by knocking
the New Deal. I have decided to vote
against I'll who are working against
the National Administration.
Don't call yourself . progressive
and work against the most progress
sive administration We ever had.
Have you noticed lately how the
Republican politicians dearly love the
lady voters. Why they are being told
that they always had better judy
ment than their men. and are SUI
perior In many ways.
I felt like saying amen. and hoped
they meant 1t. and thought Of how
nice that would be with no divorces,
only happiness. but wait minute.
They wind up something like this:
There Is IN election on Nov. and

Here Is hoping that this great love
reaches out for , longer period than

AN EDUCATOR SPEAKS
jamestown. N. D..
Oct. 80, 1884.

Editor, Tribune:
Eternal viligance is truly the price
Of liberty. II q people ever needed to
be on the alert, it Is now in watching
the movements Of the liquor sharks.
For five successive times they have
sought to dethrone the high purpose
and rating OF the people Of our state
by initiating measures to destroy the
legitimate safeguards which our
state constitution provides and which
q thoughtful legislature, chosen by
the people, from time to time
strengthened by necessary regulatory
enactments. The petitioners appar-
emily are either obsessed with the
wicked idea Of debauching our citi-
senshhip and youth with the nefari-
Gus liquor traffic, or 1t would seem
that they are employed by and rep
resent the liquor interests which
have always driven roughshod over
the rights and happiness and well
being Of our citizenship for selfish
ends and gain.
Just glance at the bill to be initiated
and see how insane and destructive
It Is. Who could possibly get to read
the innunlerable measures, some lO7
Of them, the bill proposes to repeal7
Every citizen would have to sit for
a hours at the polls to even simply
read through the measures referred to
by number, which from time to time
our legislators compiled after months
Of careful consideration and discus
sion. Now, In one master stroke OF
vaulting conceit these petitioners
would ruin years Of legislative en-
deavors to safeguard our homes and
protect our youth. Shades Of Diog-
enes, what wisdom these petitioners
expect from US all! It would take q
Philadelphia lawyer weeks to wade
through the mass Of laws which this
petition sweeps aside by one fell
blow. Or can 1t be that they thought
that by such wholesale slaughter Of
compiled laws the people would fall
for their evil purpose on the theory a.
Is so frequently stated, that we have
too many laws? But In this particu-
lar it is infinitely better to have even
too many safeguards than to have
none ct all, and to allow the liquor to
flow unhindered like . devastating
flood over the state, with no revenue
to the state, with no power by the
state or the federal government to
protect our youth and homes, or to
punish the bootlegging openly carried
on with no laws. have always been
opposed to the state or the national
government making money through
the debauching Of our citizens, espe-
cially our youth who arc all too easily

ers. wouldn't that have been q real
knockout?)
During the past four months or 50
the great five per cent Leader put
out by the All Oscar Trio has been
very busy criticising and tearing
down the New Deal. This Is the way
they tell It: The wheat allotment
Is all hooey, The corn-hog allotment
Is all fluey, the cattle program Is all
graft, the summer fallow loans should
never have been issued, the feed loans
are not necessary"
In fact they tell US that the New
Deal is q misdeal and has been
dealt to US from the bottom Of the
pack.
Now We believe that the average
farmer u satisfied. That the program
being put on by the Roosevelt admin
tstratton Is an honest attempt to aid
agriculture. We know that this pro-
gram is not perfect in every detail.
| We know that some changes and ad-
justments will probably be neces-
sary. We know that It's failure to
function just right in many cases Is
due to lack Of cooperation on the
part Of the farmers themselves.
We also know that II there were no
federal aid coming In, that right
now there would be mighty little be-
tween the front Of our stomachs and
our back bone except empty space.
Before We 60 to the polls we should
think Of these things. We are going
to need seed, feed and In many cases
human food relief before another
crop grows. Are we going to jeopar-
die our chance Of getting these by
voting for . gang that has been doing
every thing they can to discredit the
Roosevelt administration just because
they were not allowed to chisel on
federal relief funds?
Now, we scandinavian voters may
be bupch Of blockheads, Is Mr..
LANCER has told Us several times.
Perhaps We do not shine Is brilliant
| ly q he does in some ways, but we
firmly believe that we are inteli-
gent enough 50 that We will not vote
for second helping Of Langerism In
our state government.

lieve they overlooked one thing that
would have been . big help to them

cases Of Al Capoue and the LANCER

that he had forgotten to pay his In

The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-01-02

Many players complain of Lucky bids'' by their opponents, but did you ever stop to consid- CT that many of those 'lucky bids" require masterful play? This was the case in today's hand, where North found himself in a contract of four spades. At every other table the contract was three no trump by North and South, which, of course, is easy.
 Just why South should go to four spades is difficult to tell. However, good play on the part of North gained them top score on the board.
 The opening lead was the six of clubs. Vests nine forced the declarer's ace. who immediately led club. East played the deuce, South won the trick with the king and returned the eight of clubs. West went in with the jack and East discarded a dia- mond.
 West made a nice lead of the queen of clubs, hoping to knock out dummy's ace of trump, so that his nine might be good. East trumped with the eight, which forced dummy's ace.
