And here's another interesting BIT
q gossip that comes out OF the state
capitol. Roy Ayers, rounding out
ME second term In the lower house
OF Congress-, is casting coveteous
eyes at the governorship. 1t has Ions
been known that Ayers would like
to be Governor more than anything
else And, you will recall, he came
within a dangerously few votes OF
defeating white-halred John Erick.
son o the Democratic nomination
the last time he was a candidate
II Is being freely predicted now that
with Cooney casting longing glances
towards the Senate. Ayers will re-.
turn home and enter the race for
CHIEF executive. Even though he
q incurred the disfavor OF many
constituents through some Of his
postoffice appointments, leading
Democrats feel there would be little
chance Of defeating him for Gov
ernor. Added to the prestige as a
candidate for Governor. he has been
very active In Washington and would
hold much advantage over anyone
aspiring to the office for the first
time.
Should Ayers conclude to again
return to Congress-, there will be
many aspirants for the office OF
Governor. In such case, one OF the
most likely o looked upon 6y
Democrats Is Arthur l.. Lamey OF
Havre. Mr.. Lamey would not only
have the solid support Of e~x-service
men throughout the state, along with
hundreds Of leaders in his own pol
1tical ranks, but would pull support
from many Republicans because OF
his recognized ability and sterling
qualities. While subscribing to the
OF the Democratic party,
Lamey would be the first to crit
icize the practice Of any man In pub
lie office that would not bear the
most rigid test of honesty and
square-dealing. No man could pos
sfbly be held with higher regard In
his own community, and no one
more deserving of that popular es-
TEEN. Should the way open for
Lamey's candidacy. and should he
be induced to seek the office, irres-
pective of party adherence. the Her.
aid, who has known him personally
for several years. would most heart
lily commend him to the voters of
county.

Crime Doesn't Pay-Long

If there are readers OF The Herald who have the
idea that maybe the newspapers are wrong and that
crime does pay they might stop long enough to reflect
upon the fate of Louie CTwo CUM Altere.
The story is that he wore a bullet-proof vest and
lodged death for fifteen years but the other day,
when he came out Of his apartment with his wife. the
killers, lodged in an apartment across the Chicago
street, poured twelve bullets into his face and head.
They evidently believed that he wore the bullet
proof vest.
Even If the "law" doesn't get them the gangster
sooner or later is wiped out by envious or frightened
members Of his own or some other mob.

A FEW PERSONAL WORDS

The writer Of this column has
been highly gratified at the recep-
ton accorded 1t by the newspaper
readers Of the United States. AS
most OF you probably know 1t ap-
pears in scores OF newspapers rep
resenting every shade Of political
opinion. 1t Is read by conservative
es, liberals, radicals and about every
other tint that d~ifferentiates the op-
intons Of men and women about the
government and its affairs.
Obviously, the writer 1t not MAX
ing taffy to tickle the palate Of any
particular group but attempts to
give each week an intelligent round.
up Of important events and explain,
to some extent, their significance.
Naturally, he must, at times, discuss
political effects and the outlook at
various times. AS a professional
newspaper man he is more interest.
ed In being right In his conclusions
than In what those conclusions are !.
Their effect upon parties o. candi-
dates is not considered and, in truth,
he does not wish to influence his
readers unless, perchance, the facts
presented have a persuasive influ-
ence upon the logical processes OF
the individual.
The above paragraphs are insert
ed In this space because a reader In
Illinois writes that this column is
experimentation. There may be
many others who agree with the
idea. We know there are many
Democrats who do not understand
why we are not pronounced
the other way. We cannot please
partisans-that is impossible In any
intelligent presentation Of Washing.
ton affairs. Unfortunately, from the
standpoint OF a minority party, the
members Of the party In power make
the news at the national capital.
Any weekly review Of Washington
affairs will, Of necessity, center "a
Their largely upon what the Presi-
dent and his officials say or do.
The writer has had, in the course
OF than a year, some five or
six kicks" from readers. Repub-
licans didn't like our prediction OF
last October that the President
might add to his huge House major
ity, but it happened all the same.
Democrats were not pleased. last
December, when we were n OF the
first columns to report that the
President had lost ground immed-
lately after the success at the polls.
Nevertheless, the statement has
been amply confirmed. The loss of
prestige has continued In our opin-
Ion (Which won't please the Demo
cratic p~artisans) until we state.
simply as a matter OF truthful re-
porting on our part, that, for an un-
known reason, so far as we are con-
cerned, there has been a check In the
drift from the Chief Executive. who

Recognition

Ordinary human beings recognize their acQuaint-
ances and friends as a rule by mental comparisons Of
the faces seen. The particular face is the index to
the particular personality 1t represents. There are
other ways, however, to recognize individuals.
The blind Senator from Minnesota, Thomas B.
Schal, depends upon the hands and voices. 1.-THE
feel OF a mans hand bespeaks the character Of his
face" says the Senator, "and the voice is an instru-
ment Of the soul: 1t doesn't lie." And, almost every
one can recognize the identity OF a friend when they
see the absent ones handwriting on an envelope.
Some books are worth reading because they tell
you something; others because they are written well;
others because they anuse you and others are simply
not worth reading at all.

Hear Liquor Proposals

North Dakota's legislators Friday
will grapple with the liquor question
for the first time this session, when
hearings on various proposals get un-
der way at Z meeting Of the house
temperance committee.
Headed by Paul A. Sand Of Pierce,
chairman, committee members will
begin the first Of what is planned to
be series Of meetings at which vari-
Gus liquor bills will be discussed.
Sand said he was contemplating q
series Of open meetings at which the
problem would be aired. with view
to determining q fundamental bill
which would meet with general ap-
prevail.
He expressed the belief that "the
right kind Of liquor bill probably
would meet with not only the approval
Of the legislature by q two-thirds
vote, but with that Of the public
At least one liquor bill is being pre-
pared, following In some measure the
Washington state law Of liquor stores.
Sand said he believed the 'most eff
fective policy In determining the right
type Of bill" would be followed by
joint meetings of educational, appro-
priations, taxes and tax laws and tenn
perance committees Of both houses at
various times.

Mrs. Dunn Recalls
City's Yesterdays
BY MRS ]. r. DUNN

Let us turn Lack to 1873. Sixty
two years ago the Bismarck Tribune
was born, July IL, 1873. This news
paper, which we have at hand, is
yellow and torn. with long strips Of
transparent paper holding it together.
It has been read and reread at inter-
walls during the years and it offers
many reminders to US who are still
here today. The editorial follows:
Introduction
with this issue Is commenced the
publication Of the Bismarck Tribune,
the first paper on the Missouri River
above Yankton and the first In Da-
kota on the line Of the N. p. r. r.
1t Is printed on Taylor Cylinder
Press and from an office specially
fitted out for the publication Of q
daily as soon as Bismarck Is large
enough to sustain one. The pub
fishers will not spare the expense
necessary to make their paper valu-
able through its devotion to local
interests, for its news and choice
selections Of miscellaneous matter.
They have made a large investment
In their office: have turned their
backs on pleasant and profitable sit
uations IN the East, hoping through
energy and sound discretion to, in
time, build up business which will
pay. They come to Bismarck without
q bonus to the extent Of one dollar
from the railroad companies or other
parties, but they ask and expect q
liberal patronage from all parties in
terested in the prosperity Of the
town.
"They make no special promises
except to publish . live paper and
give at all times their best efforts
towards building up the town /.
5000 copies Of this issue will be
printed and it will be found speci-
ally valuable for sending abroad.
5000 copies Of this issued will be
found at the office neatly done up in
wrappers, ready for mailing The
Tribune will be sent to any address
at $3.50 per year in advance. Persons
receiving this copy are invited to be-
come subscribers :. Those who have
friends they wish to interest in Bis
marck can do no better than to send
them the Tribune"
The first issue tells us that the
first train into Bismarck was June Z,
1873. 1000 tons Of freight was re.
ceived at the Bismarck station the
first week the office was opened, on
which the freight was $4,000. In the
notes which we have, we find that
this first train came on Saturday.
On Sunday q mixed train Of passen-
ger and freight cars arrived which
brought the first women to Bismarck
over the N. p. These ladies came on
the line from Brainerd, MINI. On
this second train were Mrs. M. p.
Slattery and the MacLoughlin sisters.

CHEVROLET TRUCK
IMPROVED GREATLY
More Power, Greater Braking,
Advances in Engine and
Chassis Announced

Improved commercial car models
having more power, higher torque or
pulling ability, greatly increased ef-
fictency, and numerous improvements
In engine and chassis, have been an
nounced by the Chevrolet Motor COM
pany.
In addition to the h-ton trucks Of
ll2-inch wheelbase and the IN ton
trucks Of either 131.inch or 157-inch
wheelbase, Chevrolet this year fea-
lures q new unit, the Standard sedan
delivery, intended for the fast dis
patch Of light merchandise. A wide
variety OF factory-built bodies. de-
signed to meet the special require
ments Of different industries and
trades, is available. Prices remain ut
the low levels established last year,
when Chevrolet led the industry in
truck registrations. The chassis prices,
according to the Chevrolet announce
ment, are the lowest in the world.
The Chrevolet models for 1885 re-
tain the general characteristics Of the
previous line In layout and design.
Mechanically, however, they incor-
porate many refinements and added
features.
Many Motor Changes
Changes in the engines include
improved spark advance control,
heavier crankshaft with improved
counterweighting and harmonic bal
ANGER, selective balancing Of rotat-
ing parts, high pressure oil stream
fabrication to connecting rod bear
ings, increased oil pump capacity,
electro-plated pistons, greater water
pump capacity, an improved cylinder
head temperature distribution.
Brakes and braking have been
greatly increased in efficiency and
!, ease Of operation, now possessing such
features as lighter pedal pressure,
higher coefficient Of friction In the
lining, limited articulation Of brake
shoes, and increased life of Innings.
Improvements in manifolding, car
buretion. timing and valves, through
the adoption Of the Chevrolet Blue
Flame design of the Master engine
for this years truck engine, has re-
suited in a horsepower capacity of 70
In the 1885 trucks. q gain Of 10
horsepower over last year.
A new system Of fabrication serves
the crank-pin bearings Of the con-
Meeting rods. The oil pump forces
high pressure Jets of oil to flow con-
stantly from six nozzles, one in each
oil trough, directed upward so that
the streams are in the paths Of the
connecting rod dippers as they ap-
proach and pass bottom dead Gen.
ter. These dippers thus receive oil
during q prolonged period Of each
revolution.
Prevents OIL Dilution
Oil dilution is prevented by a pat
ented crankcase ventilator which dis
charges gasoline fumes and vapors
into the air stream underneath the
oil pan.
In the 1a-ton model, another oper-
alton IS procured through the adop-
ton Of new waved driven plate that
eliminates chatter even at light driv-
ling load applications (as when the
clutch Is only partly released in
parking maneuvers)
Revisions Of springing have been
made in the various models to pro-
vide for wide variation Of the load.
and for greater strength.

Mary became Mrs. Charles Kupitz,
Nellie married Mr.. G. w. Freede,
Kitty married Mr.. Charles Lewis, and
Maggie, John Yegen. They were all
good men and women who have long
since crossed the bar.
This train also brought the press
and material for the Bismarck Trib-
une and much more freight, fol-
which we were all very thankful. Our
flour, coffee, and sugar were getting
low. We had frozen potatoes all
winter from Fort Lincoln at 10c q
pound. But by this time they were
not very good.
