wark-end was the first who had to
60. Not . very difficult puzzle to
solve. Last week . ridiculous comedy
vas played at the governors office.
hardly suitable for times like these
where the acting governor played the
combined role as Judge, prosecutor.
witness and-an unwilling schoolboy: /:
do need to answer this?" do
need to answer that? do I--?"
It Is to be regretted that the head
Of our state should be willing to de-
grade himself TO play such . pitiable
role. He ought to have taken Mr..
Christianson, Justice Of the supreme
court, for his model Mr.. Christianson
has graciously stepped aside whenever
there could be any doubt about his
impartiallty.
Mr.. Wexford must suddenly have de-
veloped = very low esteem for the
peoples intelligence-and for the peo-
pies regard. He regards the first half
Of Mr.. MacDonald's letter as Of vital
importance, bases his charge, prosecu-
ton and sentence on 1t, but he absolu-
tely ignores the second half Of II.
AFTER thorough investigation Of Mr..
Flannigan's record" he comes to the
conclusion that Mr.. F1annigan Is the
most competent" and absolutely
ignores the opposite conclusion Mr..
Macdonald has come to In regard to
Mr.. Flannigan's record as q road man
not. however. as . railroad man
and which he indirectly, but most
strongly and decidedly, points out In
tho second half Of his letter.
Mr.. Wexford takes the bull by the
horns. He has probably been advised
to point this out before others do 1t
that you viii be accused Of playing
politics" A very nice expression this
playing politics" and 1t covers .
smear Of sins-and has probably been
used for the benefit Of the innocent.
But can 1t also cover the smear
thrown on . widely known and res.
pected mans honor, character and
ability?
When this case comes before the
supreme court 1t Is to be hoped that
the veil win be sufficiently lifted that
we might get a clear picture Of what
goes on behind It. And perhaps It
also will be explained why the mill, as
the people for years had been prom
ised, should be taken out Of politics.
and Is was taken out under Olsons
administration - under Welfor
promptly was thrown back.
The real government of North Da-
kota today cannot be seer-but It can |
be felt. But first aroused, the peo.
pies anger Is . dangerous thing to |
play with.

THREE WORDS HOLD
MAJOR INTEREST IN
Big DUST DISTRICT
VI !. Rains Is Chief Topic o1
Conversation by Farmers,
Merchants
BY ROBERT GEIGER

Guymon, Okla, April 15.-F)-
Three little words-achtngly familiar
on a western farmers tongue-rule
life today In the dust bowl OF the
continent
II 1t rains ;.
Ask any farmer, and merchant, any
banker what the outlook Is, and you
hear them-if It rains -.
If It rains some farmers will
get a wheat crop.
If it rains fresh row crops may
flourish.
II 1t rains pasture and range
for livestock may be restored.
# 1t rains ). fields quickly listed
into wind-resisting clods may stop
the dust.
II It rains 1t always has!
The next three weeks will tell the
story.
Black and saffron clouds Of dust.
spectacular, menacing, intensely ir-
ritating to man and beast alike,
choking. blowing out tender crops,
and lasting without mercy for days,
have darkened everything but hope
and q sense of humor IN the dust
sector Of the southwest.
Where Disaster Struck
The southwest is big and the dust
area Is only small chunk Of It..
Roughly, 1t takes in the western third
of Kansas, southeastern Colorado,
the Oklahoma Panhandle, the north
ern two thirds Of the Texas Pan
handle, and northeastern New Mex
leo.
It always has been a region OF
sparse rainfall. The World War. with
its high wheat prices and urgent de-
n,ands, sent the plow into the SOD
and turned this into wheat country.
Before then it was range land ana
the crop was native Buffalo grass,
which held the soil firm against IN.
sistent winds.
The last three years have been Of
Grouth, with this springs field
eroding dust storms their sitting
climax. But dust storms are moth
ing new In the southwest. Forty
years ago-decades before the wheat
farmers came with their combines
q dust storm of such violence swept
western Kansas that 1t stopped
trains, Just as they were stopped last
week.
It's . Hardy Country
This is q tough, hardy country"
its farmers say. 1T will come back
overnight"
Housewives don't like them. OF
course, but the dust belt grtns and
bears It.
Merchants do business as usual
unless the storm gets too severe.
Then they hunt q fourth hand at
bridge, lock the front door and retire
to the back room to play 1t out.
It gets in your clothes, literally In
your hair, and sometimes it seems In
your very soul. Certainly 1t gets
under the skin.
But despite the hardship. and .
generally unencouraging prospect.
not a single one of more than 100
farmers interviewed by your cores
pondent was leaving the country.
Each one had hope OF getting crop.

COMMENT ON STATE SITUATION
Bismarck. N. D.,
April 13. 1885.

Editor, Tribune:
Permit me to congratulate you on
the editorial In a recent issue. It was
above the average and gave album
dant cause for meditation. You
pointed out the dreadful pressure the
president Is under, especially from his
friends" And from the head OF the
government the thought automatical-
ly drifted over to the present head Of
our state government.
The president Is q man IN his
prime; at the top Of his mental and
physical power Our acting governor
is an old man whose mental and ply.
sical power long have been on the
decline. His own actions have given
ample proof that this must be the
case.
I haven't any doubt that Mr.. Wei.
ford Is an honorable man who wishes
to do the right thing for the sake Of
his own honor and the welfare Of hts
people, but neither do I doubt that
he can do the right thing as long he
Is under the influence Of stronger
Wills.
A mans integrity rests on his Will.
II his will is defeated his integrity
cannot prevail. He begins to will with
the stronger viii and his moral feel
ings Of right and wrong. honor and
dishonor, will be abnormal. Such
fates are to be pttied. This fate Seems
to have been Mr.. Welford's.
He took over the governors office
with the best Of intentions. He pub.
licly stated that he was not going t.
make any change In the administra.
tion before the legislature had I'd.
journed. But hardly two days after
ward he got rid Of Mr.. Sarles, with
that childish explanation-for thl
benefit Of the .nnocent-that the posi-.
tion Is adjutant general was merely
q position Of honor.
Mr.. LANCER learned something en-
tirely different. He had regarded tn
adjutant general, i.e., the nationa
guard, as his last and impregnabl'
bulwark. But when Mr.. sarles pre-
ferred to stand by the constitution
Mr.. LANCER cleared out without fur
ther ado.
Mr.. sarles had been the last bul

THANKS BIRD Lovers
Bismarck, N. D..
April IL, 1885.

Editor, Tribune:
I wish to take this method In which
to thank the many citizens Of Bis
marck for the splendid cooperation
extended by them in the bird feeding
program Of the past winter.
Through their donations Of time
and money thirty-three feeding sta
tions were kept supplied with grain.
Our native birds, the grouse, will
not feed from q station, 50 several
large coveys were fed by scattering
the grain In fields where It was
known the birds were In the habit OF
feeding.
BY comparing the pheasants which
had access to feeding stations with
those which did not, the value Of the
feeding program is apparent In the
brighter plumage and more alert
bearing of the well fed birds as over
the duller plumage and listlessnesS OF
the birds which were compelled to
subsist on what they could get by
foraging. These better conditioned
birds will raise larger and stronger
broods this spring.
The amount OF grain used IN the
stations this winter totals also
pounds or an average OF 126 pounds to
the station. There were three hum
dred pounds Of grain fed to grouse
and three hundred pounds taken to
Long Lake last week for the flight Of
ducks which were badly In need Of
extra food. Although this totals to
little over two tons, I am Of the opin-
ion that it fed as many birds Is
double this amount would have II the
self feeding hopperS were not used.
During the coming summer we plan
to 50 perfect and coordinate our
program for next winter that we will
be able to extend our feeding to the
eastern portion Of Burleigh county
I would like to hear from interested
persons from Regan. Wing, Arena
Sterling. Mofftt and Mckenzie, In
this matter.
To you who helped with time and
money in this program, I voice my
sincere appreciation.
Yours respectfully,
