LOGAN PAYNE COMPANY STATE'S "OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) A NUISANCE The usual and expense is abut to be shoyed off on the peoplo. Congressman Siegel of New York announces that he is bringing into the short session a bill to add 50 members to the House of Representatives, on the 1920 census. As he is head of the appropriations mittee, it is likely that this useless bit of expensive plunder will be tacked onto the governmental system. The of. is now, of course, at least twice as big operation would justify.

The only reason for adding 50 naw bers is to prevent a few states from haying their representation cut down slightly. It would be infinitely better the number of revresentatives, instead of being increased, could be cut about 300. But the useloss extravagance will be practiced unless people all over the country register immediate and emphatic protest. The next election is far away. Congress is filled with "lamp ducks" and re-elected members who are not worrying about what the people think now.

Souvenir hunters seem to be confining their forts to France and leaving Russia off their erary.

It is a great game, billiards is, a test of skill and brains and nerves. As one drives the balls about it is doubtful is one in a.thousand knows the story of the game. William Kew invented it.

Kew was a broker in London. History tells us that Kew, at times when business was slack, grew into the habit of removing the three gilt balls, that served as a sign on his shop, and shoved them around on a table, hitting one with the other, with a yard stick. The idea of a game with rules on a special table and with ivory balls installed itself in his mind. He developed it and billiards is the result. The inventor's given name, you see was Bill.

He the first balls around with a yardstick. So it became "Bill-vards." And again the or's last name The yard stick ljiter they called a "Kew." Now it is a cue, pronounced the same, but spelled differently. It certainly is odd, the beginning of things. A grouch has this he does pen to smile at Christmas it means more than the smile of an optimist.

"JUDGE" LYNCH'S LAW "He was a victim of lynch law." How often that sentence appears. And it means only this which of course, is more than enough: That without due process of law seme human was hung, usually a mob. But why lynch law? does From whence did that term come Simple enough, too.

Charles Lynch was a planter of some 130 years ago. He wasn't satisfied with 'the way the courts worked. So he and a number of friends established a "court" of their own, and passed upon cases brought to their attention. The supreme penalty was at times invoked, and the victim hung. That was Lynch iaw in the making.

But it has retrograded largely with the passing of time. And it is a mighty poor law at best. Nowadays at times, the lynch lawyers fail to give their victims the semblance of a trial. That at least, Judge Charles Lynch did, back there in Virginia. EDITORIAL REVIEW Comments reproduced In this column may or may not express the opinion of The Tribune.

FORTY-ONE MURDERS IN FIFTY-FOUR DAYS To the forty murders on the appalling record of this city between October 1 and November 21 there was added on the evening of November 23 still another. This of three footpads was shot and then with thg Of a revolver just 'wifnin Seventy-second street gate of Central Park. He was felled under the eyes of a to whom! he had just given a match. His cries, as he battled helplessly for his life, were heard by dozens of persons in a nent hotel not a stone's throw from he spot.

The deed was done within a few hundred feet of a fic who, however, is under ho blame for not knowing of the' svftft ahd fatal crime, because passing automobiles where he stood drowned the other sounds. This is how openly and boldly the thieves and murderers who made New York a crime den town do their work. This is how we come to such a ghastly score as forty-one murders in fiftyfour days. Now, there is no gainsaying that such rampant crime elsewhere as as helre is one of the lignant heritages 1 of war. But the TVIayor of Philadelphia, arming scores of policemen with sawed-off shotguns and rtioving them in swift motor cars through and around the spots, is making highway robbery altogether too ous a trade for Philadelphia bandits and they are running to cover.

Chicago is runding up its bad men, tagging them, so to speak, and then keeping them under a vigilant police eye so that whenever they stir their movements are known to their watchers and whenever they strike or attempt to strike, they are bagged. And this sort of detection and punishment is not what criminals are looking for anywhere, so they give Chicago a wide berth. There are no better, cleaner and brkver men anywhere in the world than our own. No one can doubt that the rank and file is burning with eagerness to stamp out the lawlessness which is a disgrace to this city and a menace to its people. No one can doubt that if the police of Chicago and Philadelphia can do such a thing, enough men specially detailed for the work, intelligently directed, properly led and powerfully supported, can and will make this town too hot for stickup me nand murderers.

If it is.not done here the people of this city are bound to assume, as they are right to assume, that the responsibility for fail ing to do it rests at the York Herald. FAR Dakota has unsold farm produce worth approximately $200,006,000 according to the best estimates available. The 1920 crops were estimated by government reports to be worth, at 1919 prices, about $400,000,000. On the basis of Oct. 15 prices, it was estimated by twin city bankers that crops were worth about $288,000,000.

Deducting What' has been sold, and making allowance for any further decreases in prices since Oct. 15, it might be a conservative estimate to place the value of unsold farm products in North Dakota at close to $200,000,000. That figure is almost equal to the combined resources of all state and national banks in North Dakota. It amounts to about two-thirds of all the farm mortgages in North Dakota. It would liquidate all the farm paper held by all the banks in the state and i'eave a very tial sum toward paying off the mortgages, sibly one-third of them.

With those figures before him, any man who intimates that North Dakota business is not damentally sound, is either fori or a knave. The crops will be marketed some time. er prices go up or dewn, the crops will be sold sooner or later, and as rapidly jjs they r.re eted liquidation of debts will continue and the load on the banks will gradually lighten. What we need in N6rth Dakota is theSconfidencife of the rest of the United States and a little more ready ey. The action of the twin city mortgage banks ought to help us materially in getting both.

en of the biggest mortgage bankers ih the country are not sending money into North Dakota for timental or political reasons. They are sending it here because they expect to get it back with interest and if such bankers consider North ta fundamentally sound, no private investor need fear to send in his savings for investment in this Forum. BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE to GtT 4Ht A Pair of SOCKS AKfc S0IH6 NECKTIE-, A BATHROBE fOfe. AND BY MELVIN RANDOLPH ULMOKK, State Historical Society. Human beings are very much the creatures of habit- Most people do what others do, without thinking without reason.

In manner of living, in dress, food, amusements, studies, recreations, and in planning and ing of gardens and parks most people do'not inquire what is fitting and coming, wholesome and comfortable, and suitable, according to and circumstances, they wish1to know what is customary or fashionable. In planning and planting they do not study tor plant to soil and climate, pr the region, but according to plans and plantings to which they havjB' bqen accustomed. St it has come about "that a park pen taining to any city Ijrom Boston to Omaha will differ very little from another. The visitor sees but a otonous repetition in every park ho visits, and in none of them will he find an, pxpositfon of the native floni of tihfe immediate region of the given locality. But, the state of North Dakota has adopted a plan for the development of the capitol grounas which, when accomplished, will make the said grounds a living outdoor museum or North Dakota.

This plan will givp to our capitol grounds a characteristic beauty and interest of their own and a unique distinctibn' for no other pitol grounds have been planned AS comprehensively. And probably ho other state, certainly none of the er states, now has the possibility which North Dakota has in this spect for their capitol grounds are all already closely impinged by the surrounding buildings on private property. But North Dakota has an opportunity and a plan which can be' developed through long time to come, improving every year. Nothing which 7 K-ltlM Sucli a blanket tossing as the rascal £ot. Mrs.

Woodchuck didn't say a word but nodded toward a hump under one of the blankets. Of course if she had said two words or ten, Nancy and Nick would not have understood, for that scamp had swallowed their charm and run away! That is why they yrere after him- Suddenly an idea occurred to Nick and he whispered it to his laughed softly and do it riglit awav," she ed and tiptoed quietly to the top of the bed. At the same time Nick took place at the foot- Mrs. Woodchuck wondered what it was all about but said nothing. If anything was THE FORTUNE TELLER' WONDERFUL it OUTLINES OP DEVELOPMENT OF CAPITOL GROUNDS INTO AN UNIQUE OUTDOOR is done according to this plan need be merely temporary all that is done makes for ultimate and permanent improvement.

I The plan' is to employ only native trees, shrubs, vines and flowering plants for the general planting system of this park- Several purposes will be served by this plan- In the first place native vegetation is already climated and will be more ful, for. it has become adjusted to con ditions through a period of thousands of years- Also species will possess more of an air of content, of dignity and stability as communities of residents, and not the dejected, homesick and apologetic aiil of captive aliens in urifriendly surroundings. The native vegetation will be more monious and in keepirig with its roundings. By the use of native vege tation the planting will be more cessful and healthy, and also will be actively stimulative in evoking to the minds of visitors, pictures of the iginal appearance of North Dakota before the changes and ravages Which have been wrought by agricultural operations, of road-building, and the devastation and desolation ing operations. This outdoor museum will afford the people of North Dakota the portunity to become acquainted with the natural beauties of our state, and with the acquaintance will come a deeper feeling of attachment and tent and there is no property which is valuable as this to citizens, Tind none so essential tb a state- It is planned to plant on the lower ground those species of trees and other vegetation which demand tho more moisture, and the specjes more and more tewantjjoi conditions upon the "grounil, so that finally, on the height of the ridge back of Hie capitol shall be the bull pjne, the red cedar or juniper, and ADVENTURES OF THE TWINS By Oliver Roberts Barton.

IVASP WEASEL (JETS ITNISlIKl) "Where did Wasp Weasel go?" ed Nick, as he and Nancy rushed breathlessly into Woodchuck's bedroom where been getting all the beds ready for the family's winter sleep- about to happen to Wasp, She wasn't going to interfere, because Wasp was a general nuisance and she didn't like him at all- He had ways worried the life out of Wqjbbly. her own dear boy, and Wally, 'her husband, had just said the other there! That's not the story. Suddenly Nancy grabbled two ners of the blankets, between which Wasp was crouching, and at the same time Nick grabbed the other two. Then they pulled the cdvers clear off the bed, never letting go their hold. I "Give us our charm.

Wasp." said I Nick severely, "or we'll shake you up Wasp lay very and never let on he heard- That settled it! Such a blanket tossing as the rascal got, he'll never forget. I'm sure, nor the lesson either. And the charm jumped right out oi 1 his mouth with the jolting. I Nancy grabbed it and tucked it 'away safely, and the twins departed- DOfcOTHy, COKt THIS rnsTAHT! the scrub juniper and creeping juniper common buttes and Bad Lands. In the neighborhood of the various species' of trees, from the cottofiwood of tfie low grounds, the ash and then the oak of the higher grounds, and the pines cedars of the highest grounds, it is intended to have the various, associated species of smaller growth! the shrubs and vines and tlowering plant proper to each tion.

All the various native fruits of this region will find place in the planThese will in themselves afford a rev elation of their present usefulness and possible future greater ness and improvement by selective breeding. part of the tract, back of the capitol, is to be left ed to show forever the nature of the original prairie vegetation, which was the most outstanding natural feature of North Dakota. Here will be the native grasses and the native wild flowers of the prairie. Here in its natural situation, but also in other parts of grounds, will be the state flower of North Dakota, the wild rosi of the prairie. There are four ent species of wild roses in North kota, and all will have their proper representation in park planting, but the state flower, which is the prairie rose, Rosa pratincola, should have pre-eminence.

One of the native wild fruits should be given special attention also in situation suitable tb its nature, cause this-" fruit has given the ographical name of a river, tains, a county and a town in Nortn Dakota- This is the pembina berry, which is sometimes called "high-bush cranberry although it is nothing likw a cranberry, a'hy more than a peacu is like a tomato- They' are not at all botiuiically related. This berry the Viburum opulus variety americanum, is called in the pewa language nepin-minan- Nepinniinan has been corrupted into vari-j ous forms by the man's tongue, but the form which has' become fixed upon the map of North Dakota is pembina so we' have the Pembina river, Pembina mountains, the towis of Pembina, the oldest whits establishment in the state, and bina county. By the plan which is adopted our state capitol grounds are to be an expression of art and science, an position of beauty and knowledge, and in the mind's eye of the one who ceived the plan it is seen as a stantly growing and improving stitution through fil the years of tke future. According to our plan what-, ever is done is permanent and ing and not of a tfeipporary ter. The park of grounds will constitute ill itself by this plan an educational institution for all the people.
