Merchants of St. Paul show wis dom in their co-operation with the farmers of the Northwest to create In that city an open market, uninflu enced by other than legitimate fac tors. The farmers of the Northwest will gather December 5-6-7 to celebrate at St. Paul the opening of the terminal elevator, built largely with money subscribed by North Dakota fanners. It is to be hoped that the venture will prove profitable. There is no reason why the farmers cannot con duct their business! upon a co-opera tive plan. Honest,1,disinterested-man agement is the Kirimei,Requisite of suc cess^ V' port iJitoi farmers should sup- jtctoiifinl market confcrqnce. V, A forecast of women's fashions notes that "modesty is to be display ed." What else was there left? A ROAD TO THE RIV^R. t, With no' bridge over the /Missouri river, the-best substitute is a good road rwi^h a suitable ferry operating be£w^ei^ the Burleigh and ftlprton Win& l'in#B. .." r- -P.erry.t ^ryioe, over,, the river .this, summer was inadequate, as well as irregular. No one can estimate the traffic routed over other automobile trails because ferry accommodations were so poor at Bismarck. The conditions that obtain reflect seriously upon the civic enterprise of Bismarck. That business interests in Bismarck and Mandan have gotten to gether means that the deplorable sit uation is to be corrected. All will admit that a bridge is the only suitable solution, but until such an improvement can be successfully launched the two cities must provide adequate ferry sertica and good ap proachtes to the ferry wharves: The city commission, apd the com mercial, oltibs of the Missouri Twin Cities are to be congratulate^ upon this step. Let it be put through with despatch. We can't change the name of the Pacific ocean, but judging by recent reports of industrial troubles, we'd better change the name of the coast. RUMANIA NEXT! Only Russia can stem the relent less progress of the forces of Mack ensen and Falkenhayn toward Bucha rest. The Entente Powers are lean ing on a broken reed when they pin their hopes on the Slavs. As yet the Great. Bear has been nothing more than Napoleon said he was, several generations ago: "A huge colossus with clay feet." That the Rumanians in conjunction with the Russians at ths iate bour 1 can form an effective defensive few will contend. The occupation of the Balkan state means that eventually the Central Powers can shift their lines from the Carpathians to the Black Sea, thus shortening them and pipping the Ger mans in a much better position, strat egically speaking. Such an arrange ment will bring the Central Powers into closer military communication with their Balkan and Turkish allies. Germany is resting on thd west front, while the B'alkan situation clears. Rumania becomes for awhile the coekpit,of the great war. In ad dition to the strategical advantages of the occupation of Rumania, the food and oil stores will prove of lm mense value to the Central Powers. Greece probably will receive atten tion as soon as Romania is under con trol. Then the battle for the reoccu pation of Monastir will toe resumed and a drive started towai'd 'Saloniki, a base which Germany covets. The possession of Saloniki would give Germany a "window on the east." She ha? one now on the west in the possession of Belgium. A great middle Europe has bepu Germany's dream ever since Vhe Ger man empire became, united under the Iron Chancellor. The subjugation of Rumania may be a step in that direction. The report that Bryan would give up his Nebraska residence, it seems, was untrue. He is merely going to some other place to live. INDIANS AS SECTION HANDS! The Tribune was among the first to tell of the deeply significant north ward moves of negro and Mexican labor but it seems that in Pennsyl vania not only Mexicans and negroes, but Indians, are being employed as section hands. The following paragraphs are re produced from a little weekly paper in northern Pennsylvania—the Slip pery Rock Sun: "The Pennsylvania railroad is try ing to meet the labor situation by employing Cornplanter Indians from the reservation just over the New York state line. "A carload of 25 were brought to Venango county a few days ago and put to work on a construction job. "Recently a group of Mexicans went to work on the same job." Slater, Mo., has a skunk ranch. We'll bet the chambers of commerce of riv:l towns aren't trying to lure this industry their way. DICKINSON NORMAL. The Fifteenth Legislative assembly will be asked to appropriate about $250,000 to give the Dickinson Nor mal a start and to maintain it for the next two years. The sum requested is about the same as was appropriat ed for the Minot Normal, when that institution was established. The leg islators should not hesitate to make this appropriation, as the people of North Dakota, by an overwhelming majority, have declared themselves in favor of proper educational facilities for the Slope. There certainly can be no question as Uo. the ,^titude^of the Burleigh .county ^delegation. Uurleigh county vot-iSi afnidst four to one in favor of J.he, Normal, returning a bigger propor jtio|^jK m&jorii'y. lor the school than 'anyjJlKh^rvcountjfj. east of the Mis: souri river. The exact figures, as re turned by the official county canvass ing board, are 1,818 for and .555 'against. Iik, Ifurleigli the yote on the Normal "school rati'even with that on the governorship, indicating a deep and general interest 'in the subject. There wag not a voter who did not regard the proposition worthy of con sideration, and this iii spite of a great multiplicity of amendments and. ref eren^ums ancl a special local issije. (^.$073 votes cast, only &K> were unfavorable to the proposal. The Tribune has taken great pleas tire in watching Dickinson's develop ment the last few years. It has long regarded the Stark county seat as one of the North Dakota, cities whose fu ture is assured, and. with the impetus which Dickinson will receive from the location there of a big Normal school, it may be expected to become more than ever the pride of the Slope re gion. Suva, Fiji Islands, cables that the island council lias rushed through an amendment safeguarding the natives' land leases.

Three cheers'for the chap who call ed Billy Suriday the Charlie Chaplin of the pulpit! We understand, too, they've raised the price of Santa Claus whiskers. The people who used to see sea ser pents are now seeing U-boats. DIVERSION OF INSURANCE FUND TO BE OPPOSED TotiMtvupiJ from T»*e« Onev of loss as small as possible. If this revenue is diverted to the state and the fire departments are deprived of this means of keeping their equip ment up to standard, it will mean poorer protection and heavier losses for the insurance companies. Higher Insurance Bates "These small 'frame' towns already are taxed to the very limit for fire insurance," said a state official this morning.~ "If we go ahead and de prive them of such protection as they now have in volunteer fire depart ments, we may expect to see these rates made absolutely prohibitive. I do not feel that we can altogether blame the fire departments, when we consider the constant danger which these towns stand of being wiped out entirely.',' Many Departments Affected Should the firemen of North Da kota be deprived of this premium fund there would be affected 250 depart ments in 200 cities, towns and vil lages. Of the total number but two are full paid two partially paid, and the remaining 246 are purely volun teer, with, possibly, a small fee for each fire covered. SESSION TODAY TO HEMJMNr FtiAS Scores of Prisoners Would Have Liberty as Most Desired Christmas Gift Trusting that Santa Claus may drop a pardon into their Christmas stocking, scores prisoners in the Bismarck penitentiary today are tell ing the North Dakota prison hoard why they should be restored to liber ty. The prisoners appear through /pe titions and through their "next friends." Of the latter, there are doz ens, states attorneys, sheriffs and oth ers who were concerned in incarcer ating the unfortunates and who are now interested in getting them out again, feeling they have had enough. In addition to the prisoners, there are scores of paroled convicts who will ask full pardon as a Christmas gift, and others, former convicts, who will petition for the restoration of full citizenship rights. The Decem ber session of the board always is a heavy one, but the grist of business for today sets a new high record.

Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin Re lieves Baby When Other Medicines Failed There is nothing so necessary to a child's health and comfort as regular ity of the bowels. All children are es-t pecially susceptible to stomach trou ble and any overstrain of the sensitive organs has a tendency to obstruct elimination. This condition is respon sible for much of the illness of child hood. To relieve constipation a mild lax ative should be employed. Cathartics and purgatives are violent in their ac tion and should be avoided. Mrs. Al fred Du Bois, ML Holly, N. J., says Dr. Caldwell,s Syrup Pepsin is with out doubt the most effective remedy for constipation she has ever used and that it is the only remedy she could find for lier bafby.
