The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1935-01-07

What, no governor? Answer Yes
or No.
Read on the back Of Red Ink for
November that Mr.. Clark was going
to continue publishing whether the
governor had q wife or . husband
had . governor but who could forsee
the present situation. A man In Will
ton facetiously calls Mr.. Noodle pub
lie enemy number one and says they
have hired all the lawyers 50 the
other side can't have any. And We
know that q lot Of the old meanies
have relished that bitter epithet
felon, when speaking Of the former
governor. Should have expectorated
and rinsed out the mouth with Lis
terine or Pepsodent Tor something).
Hasn't been 50 very long since there
were debtors prisons and the most
Of US would have been felonS. Felons
high and felons low, felons all and
in we'd 90. 50 better think twice
before discriminating the other fell
low.
The Constitution says that . gov
ernor must have resided In the state
for five years. but someone says the
courts must decide just what was
meant by that. Seeing the state was
admitted in 1859 or forty five years
ago it is likely that nearly all OF the
trainers OF the constitution have
passed on and even II some were with
us 1t would be pretty hard for them
to decide on statement agreed on so
long ago other than that they must
have meant what they said.
It is pretty hard to resurrect dead
mems thoughts. We know that in
each generation flows the river Of
life, love and passion, the drama Of
the Sons Of God but other thoughts
are theirs and locked forever.
Although there are supreme courts
to whom such questions must 20 1t
would be . hard question for Solo,
mon and lacking 4 Solomon, haste
the day when laws will be interpreted
according to common sense rather
than that common sense must defer
to laws. Why should we worry about
such things when there are the
courts? Because we have to live with
them. Justice loses its regal quality
when It becomes just us-its robes
are turned from white to red, its
rules from living things to dead. its
end ignomiuy and dread.
But we have laws and lawyers and
sometimes 1t seems like ct least some
Of the laws are made by and for the
lawyers. It Is unlawful to have slot
machines In N. D. (iron thieves) and
some are confiscated but . man comes
and says he Is from Minnesota,
discovered by the Scandinavians in
the 10th century, and buys some Of
these iron thieves to be sold In Min
nesota. Afterward It was found some
Of them were In use again in North
Dakota and Oh! the smoke. the dust.
the furore. Bad IN North Dakota, good
In Minnesota.
TO hear . lawyer propelling right
eousness through his false teeth In
favor OF his guilty client is 50 funny
1t makes me want to lie down and
roll. The Constitution Of the United
States says that congressman shall
not be held accountable in any other
place for their utterances In congress
but some Of the lawyers seem to think
this includes them In court and that
they may browbeat. intimidate and
bamboozle and not be held respon.

whipping would have an awfully
wholesome effect.
Lawyers. politicians, hypocritesl
Why Il It . lawyer can carry his
guilty client to the gates Of paradise
and when he Is found gullty Mr..
Lawyer y ready for the next one.
while II citizen should lift . hand
to help this person-off 20 prison he
must 60? There are some good law
yers and politicians but its because
they are good men first. Il the good
lawyers had some assistance to clean
house wouldn't It b : better world?
But back to GOVERNOR. Il makes all
the difference in the world whose OK

b sauce for the gander. Il Mr..
LANCER was caught upon . small
thing, would the people who really
wanted Mr.. Noodle want It to hold
