back q last summer when our gov.
eminent was selling beer licenses to
persons in this state while this was
still dry territory
Although We shouldn't condone
mistakes We all make them. Believe
q rood plan to follow when one makes
q mistake is TO honestly acknowledge
It and determine to do better than
ever.
II the opposition wants to do some
thing for It's country let them bring
out q good progressive man. not :
stand patter, for while the stand
patter is standing pat you can be sure
somebody Is getting away with the
booty; find some one who dares to
try paths untrodden by earth's sordid
patterns. We will not be satisfied
with q 1916 model governor in 1894.
You know, We have q late model
president.
won't say our governor has or has
not been q model governor but he
has exemplfied In q way q new style
Of governor which we do need. It
feels kind Of good to believe that
some Of the people elected to office
nowadays will really do something to
halt foreclosures. endeavor to get bet
ter prices for our products. etc. The
old style showed sympathy but no
action.
We shouldn't elect officer holders
who can only see the side Of the
farmers and laborers or those whose
interests cease about four blocks from
main street and our North Dakota
sky scrapers but . progressive per-
sonnet who viii try to always remem-
Der that everyone has some rights.
What kind OF . political campaign
are We going to witness this summer?

BLAMES SPOILS SYSTEM
Wilton, N. D.,
March Z, 1894.

Editor, Tribune:
We see by the papers that tsome
one) had done something awful.
What? When boiled down and
boiled down and boiled down some Of
us cannot see that there Is SO much
to make fuss about.
II understand correctly 5 per cent
has been asked or demanded from
(not relief workers. but help working
in relief offices which I suppose were
given this work BY the governor, else
he would have no power to collect
the per cent.
In the state S per cent Is asked o.
demanded from employees under this
administration to use as . political
fund to keep the present party in
power which would probably keep at
least q part Of the employees In their
positions. This is nothing In the
world but an offshoot Of the spoils
system which was instituted by q good
Democrat, Andrew jackson. This Is
the system which will take away po-
sition from q satisfactory employe
and give It to . member Of the VIC
toriouS party.
OF course the per cent phase Is
going too far but the whole system
is an out Of date practice II we have
as high q state Of civilization Is We
think we have. That young Demo-
cratic stuff Is along the same line,
trying to make sure and hog tie
everything instead Of depending on
the people to reward q good admins
tration with renewed confidence.
Then too, can you remember as far

When West played the queen, 1t was
won in dummy with the king.
The careless player might make the
mistake of finessing the spade at this
point, but that would be jeopardizing
the contract, as West Is marked with
two good hearts, and the opposition
already has cashed two heart tricks.
The declarer has four club tricks II
the club suit breaks, heart, spade,
and two diamonds-eight in all. Why
not simply establish the eight Of dia-
monds and not bother with the spade
finesse?
Declarer next should play the nine
Of diamonds and, when East wins with
the ten, spade should be discarded.
Now, Of course, East will return q
spade, but the finesse should be re-
fused. The declarer should 60 right
up with the ace, cash the ace OF clubs,
and then lead small club to dunn
my's king.
The eight of diamonds is cashed
and the contract Is made-all South
has to lose now is spade.

Hazen Man Objects to Being
Made Goat in Saturday
Nights Accident

Ernest E. Zeiszler OF Hazen, N. D.,
vas the driver OF the 'other car" in
the accident which caused serious in
jLries to four Fort Lincoln soldiers
and two Bismarck young women last
Saturday evening.
He objects to being made the
goat" in the affair and in a letter
to the Tribune gives his version Of
what happened. His story Of the
accident follows:
The occupants of the wrecked car
passed me first. Soon the car pulled
to the right side Of the road and
stopped. then passed it, pulled over
t. my side Of the road and proceeded
at about 40 miles an hour. A short
time later, without blowing his horn,
the driver of the other car tried to
PISS me, and in SO doing his front
bumper. or the front part of his car,
hit my rear left bumper. However,
he passed me, his car swerving up
the road for some 200 feet before
turning over on its side and then
catapulting into the ditch. over on the
OtneE Slue o. TIE renee.
Il got my car under control and
stopped Immediately. We ran back to
the scene OF the accident and tried
to lift the car off the injured. but
We're unsuccessful. With the assist
aEce of passing motorist living near
Center, we lifted the car and extri-
Gated the man.
Il first planned to take them to a
hospital, but in the meantime large
beer truck arrived at the scene, and
with the drivers help we put them
into this truck and he took them to
the hospital. It was the best way to
take them inasmuch as there was
more room and they would rest
easier. We then proceeded home
ward.
Did Assist Injured
What We wish to emphasize is that
contrary to your version We did stop
to give assistance, and We did all we
could to help the injured.
I'VE would appreciate it very much
In the name Of justice. If you would
acknowledge through the columns Of
your paper, our account Of the acct
dent as we saw 1t, inaSmuch as your
account must have come from the
occupants Of the other car"

Editor, Tribune:

Editor, Tribune.
An editorial in the March s issue
Of The Tribune meets with my dis
approval. I refer to the one COM
menting on the escape Of Dillinger
from that Indiana jail. So far rs /
know, Mrs. Holley Is the only woman
sheriff in the United States and II
we are going to disqualify women for
holding that office because one wom-
an permitted = jail break, what,
please, are we going to do with men
who have allowed many?
No, am not a woman, but my
mother was and my wife Is.
II later developments prove that
that lone man went into that cell
where four or five desperate criminals
were confined on the command Of
the woman, then she Is Jointly to
blame, but the man should have had
more sense than to have done so
without making q protest, and II he
. made no protest he Is not fit to hold
such an office. It is rather puzzling
In my mind what those a heavily
armed men guards were doing.
The whole thing has smell Of In
side work. Probably some subordi-
nate official wanted to get the wom-
an removed and If We assent to her
resignation we are doing just what
the plotting culprits want the pub
lie to do.
I haven't read that deputy or q
single guard at that prison has had
the courage and manhood to come
forward with any kind OF an appeal
to absolve the lone woman from oil
blame for the escape Of that villain.
II were q resident Of that county I
surely would demand the resignation
Of every man who was on duty 1T
that time. No man, worthy Of his
sex, would expect woman to take
a gun and fight it out with . despe-
RADIO like Dillinger, but men who are
not willing to hazard their lives In
defense of society as whole are not
fit to hold such offices as deputies
and guards at prisons where criminals
are held.
My contention Is that the thing
happened because Of the ignorance
and cowardice Of men, not women.

The March of Progress
Pictures
BY ]. F. JONES


Washington, D. C.-Christian art began with the first century and
eventually Mhhelangelo and other Masters gave to the distressed
people of the Old World fresh hope. A child born of 4 virgin repre-
scented something pure. a living idea and a ruler that would save them
from the war lords. Pictures that are still to be seen in Rome and
Florence vsuaized the Christian religion and sold" that faith to the
world. American art galleries hive a few of these treasures.
Last summer | wandered through the historic lanes of the Pilgrims
with the ninth descendants of the grandest of all the Mayfower voy-
agers-Bradfords, of course, Plymouth rock, Burial hill, Rowland
house and the rest of the finest-ot-old-A America were IN the itinerary
planned for us by our hosts.
A hundred years ago Pilgrim hall was erected, a stone building with
Dorc portico-a classic. The relics of the Pilgrims have been collected
within these walls. There saw the portrait of Edward Wnslow, gov
ernor of Plymouth colony, the only authentic picture IN existence. OF

The development of modern photography began with the introduc-
ton of Scott Archers dry collodion process in 1851. Late in the nine
teenth century photography began to make tracks in The March of
Progress. Newspapers were better illustrated, and the moving pic
lures were being brought out of the dark rooms.
When Will Hays left the Harding cabinet to regulate moving pic
lures the "takies" were just being unpacked from their wrappers.

moving picture industry. This is a growth of only a few years.

to boycott offensive, immoral and indecent" picture shows. Out of
124 pictures recently classified by the reformers only 81 were found
suitable for showing.
The movie people adopted a morality code four years ago. Hays
and the producers have recently "unctuously embraced it. But, says

belt, and it hurts.
There is certain to be big improvements along moral lines in the
picture houses. The producers are camouflaging when they say that
they are catering to an "era of sophistcaton."

MIDDLE GROUND

Secretary of Agriculture Wallace is in favor OF the
middle ground for planning the future OF agriculture be-
cause it will be less painful. He says that to go on a
strictly nationalist basis would cut down our exports OF
raw materials and take millions of acres out of cultiva-
ton. To go strictly internationahst and wipe out our pro
tective tariffs entirely would increase our exports OF raw
materials but would ruin American industry. lie would
take the middle ground, keep some protection and reduce
our active farm lands to a moderate degree. This he
thinks would hurt industry some and injure agriculture
some, but would be less painful than a complete move to
nationalism or vice versa to internationalism. Of course
this is logical. Let us picture for example a big valuable
dog, on which an operation seems necessary. To cut off
all his nose would be too painful for the animal, and to
cut off all his tail would likewise be too painful. The com
promise is just to slice off a piece Of his nose and a piece
of his tail, which of course would be a lot less discomfort
ing to the dog. OF course he would hurt at both ends IN
stead of one, but perhaps the pain would be so scattered
he would not mind it so much. Yet it might seem that
the dogs best chance would be to change doctors or run
away into the woods where nature possibly would effect
a cure without an operation.

TAKING EN- OFF THE FARMS

Evidently there is lack of teamwork in the New Deal.
While some of the opponents OF the new era are planning
to take people from the cities and towns and put them on
the land, Prof. Mordecai Ezekiel, one of the high priests
of the new order, has just made the announcement that
there are too many people on the farms now, and that
there ought to be a back to the factory movement. FRO
fessor Ezekiels logic is interesting.
The new statesman declares, according to the press,
that we will continue to face the need for shifting farmers
from agriculture to other types of work, for in the long
run we may come to realize real farm prosperity depends
on reducing the number of workers in agriculture as fast
as productivity per worker rises, y and he adds.
when that fact is fully appreciated, we may see gov
eminent agencies charged on the one hand with lncreaS-
ing the productivity of farm workers and on the other
hand with training farm boys for non-farm pursuits. Ev-
en- now we could produce all of the farm products we need
with 90 per cent of our present farmers"
How does Professor Ezekiel know that we can produce
all the farm products we need with 6O per cent OF our
present farmers! We are reliably Informed by the crop
experts that we are not going to produce as much as we
need this year with 100 per cent of our present farmers
and that we are going to have to dig down INTO our sur
plus of the carry-over crops. And again, how does DR..
Ezekiel know just how much we need this year, now much
we will need next year and the year after! With the com
mon knowledge that great numbers of people this year do
not have as much food as they could use, or as much as
desirable for proper nourishment, just how does he ar
rive at his conclusion as to how much food we now need
Again how does he know how much food we are going to
produce next year and the next, with 100 per cent OF our
present farm population or with sixty per cent?
How does he know what the growing conditions will be
how much the crop damage will be from weather aho
insects?
Of course, DR.. Ezekiel thinks he knows all of this. dc
can figure it all out for you. All he needs is a blackboard
a piece of chalk and a copy of the Worlds Almanac. Bui
the trouble is that providence may have something else
to say about it, and even DR.. Ezekiel doesn't know JUS
what this will be.
Again, if the farmers are becoming SO efficient tina
sixty per cent of them can raise what we need, how abou
the factories? They are growing in efficiency severa
times as fast as the farmer, and they do not have to battle
with weather conditions or insects. What is the use o
taking young men from the farm and putting them int
a business institution which has the farm beaten fort.
ways at over-production?
1t would look to the innocent bystander as though Dr.
Ezekiel ought to get a new piece of chalk. Anyhow, if b
isn't careful, other sections of the New Deal will be tax
ing them out of the city into the country as fast as he cal
bring 'em from the country into the city. After all may
be that's the idea.
