WILL YOU HOLD YOUR HEAD UP PROUD­
LY WHEN THEY COME HOME?
By Bruce Barton
I lifted the receiver of the telephone, and almost
dropped it again in surprise. For the voice was
that of my good old friend and I supposed him far
away in France.
"What, back so soon exclaimed. "Detailed
for special duty
"Yes, back," he answered and it struck me that
his voice was slow and older, as though the weeks
of his absence had been years. "Back but not
for special duty. There—there is another lea
son."
And then I knew that he' must be wounded.
Wounded—while here at home, I still pursued
my ordinary course. Wounded—to protect
home. Wounded—to keep my children safe.
It came over me of a sudden, as it never had
before, that I am debtor to him to an amount that
I never can repay.
They will all be cclming back before long. Some
wounded some grown strangely old. But most
of them well and normal enough, thank wonder.
Will their eyes say to us, "We were hungry for
a bit of sweet, and you did not think to send it."
"We were cold and you let the hut fires die we
were lonesome, and the movies stopped because
there were no funds to carry on."
Will that be their message of their eyes to us
Or shall we stand confidently in their presence,
greeting them as men who have nothing to re­
pent.

Judge Robinson.
With great interest I have
read your articles on the famous
Bone Dry Law of N. Dak. I ad­
mire your candid way and your
great endeavors to save the lives
of our people during this dread­
ful epidemic. I deplore five
very sad deaths in my little com­
munity already, and I fear that
if we can't get liquor very soon
many more may die. I ordered
some liquor for my poor sick
people and just now I get the or­
der back with the poor consola­
tion that they cannot ship alco­
hol in this State. I trust on
your cleverness and charity and
that you fight it out with some
stubborn lawyers who seem to
think more of their own ideas

Sincerely yours,
(Signed-) H. VAN MEER.
Where are we at what is the law

German "schrecklichkeit." It was not destroyed,
it is true but that was chiefly due to the efforts
of the American minister to Belgium, Brand Whit
lock.
If not destroyed, it was defiled by the beastly
Hun soldiers, who robbed, murdered ^nd oppressed
its citizens, deported thousands of them, took their
homes from them, ravished their women, and
committed all {manner of vile crimes against them.
Its public buildings were turned into German
barracks. In the famous Palace of Justice, the
very court room where the highest court in Bel­
gium was wont to sit was turned into a dormitory
for German soldiers.
Force installed in the temple of law—a perfect
symbol of the German occupation in Belgium!
Soon, however, the historic old structure, dear
to the hearts of all Belgians, will be restored to its
original uses.
Could anything more fitting be imagined than
that the peace congress, the greatest tribunal for
meting our justice the world has ever known, hold
its daily sessions in the very building which is the
symbol of Germany's greatest shame and humilia­
tion
There America's delegates and those of her
allies''can witness for themselves the wanton de­
struction perpetrated by the Hun vandals.
Earlier opinion was that the peace congress
would meet at The Hague, capital of Holland, and
seat of the futile attempts of last decade to "ar­
range" a permanent peace based on injustice and
oppression.
The Tribune is unable to see why Holland
should expect the peace conference to be held
within her borders. Holland's principal war con­
tribution has been to her own pockets.
There are various reasons why the capitals of
the greater allies are unavailable as locations for
the peace deliberations—too great home influence,
for one.
And while there are many reasons for holding
the peace conference at Brussels we have not yet
heard of an argument for not holding it there.
Brussels is the place.
THE FLU EPIDEMIC.
The "flu epidemic," the most distressing chapter
in Bismarck's history, may, we trust, be consid­
ered formally closed with Health Officer Strauss'
order removing tomorrow morning the ban under
which the Capital City has rested for a month.
Tomorrow morning, when reiigious services are
resumed in Bismarck, it would be fitting that a
special prayer be offered in every church for those
who have passed from us, and for the bereaved
ones who remain to sorrow. At the same time
we should have in every house of worship tomor-
I ness and consecrated service renderd within their
state commerce, excepting for medic­
inal and some other purposes, into
any staf whose laws prohibit the
manufacture and sale of liquors for
beverage purposes. The purpose of
that act was to stop the importation
of liquor in interstate commerce, con­
trary to the laws of the state. But,
as you will note, it expressly permits
importation by any person for medic­
inal purposes. It does not require
anv person ordering liquor to :nake
an affidavit that he needs it for
some necessary liquor medicine can
be obtained to check the fearful epi- medicinal purposes.
demic The consensus of opinion is sumes that men are honest and truth
that liquor is the most effective ful, and not liars that they do not
remedy and to a great extent the contemplate the commission of crime
prevailing sickness and deaths a. I
due to the fact that liquor medicine
cannot be obtained. By drastic and
burdensome laws, covering seven
large pages of the statutes, the drag
gists have been driven from the sale
of liquor for any purpose. Hence,
liquor cannot be had only as it is
carried into the state or imported
for personal use. But under the con­
stitution every person is guaranteed
the right to buy, sell and acquire
property, and the right applies to
liquor to the same extent precisely as
to any other class of property, only
so far as it is modified by Sec. 217
of the Constitution. To that modi­
fication the legislature cannot add
one jot or tittle. It forbids any per­
son to manufacture for sale or gift
any intoxicating liquor, or to import
any of the same for sale or gift or
to keep, sell or offer the same for
sale or gift as a beverage. No per­
son is forbidden to manufacture or
to import liquor for his own nse. The
right to import liquor for personal
state or the Federal authorities, or
use was never denied by any
statute, until July 1st, 1917. That
was the date for the fake dry
statute to become effective, but as
we have shown to a demonstration,
the statute was never passed by the
Senat^, and so it never became a law.
It is a pore fake and a frand and
there is no state law or constitution
to prevent the importation of liquor
for personal use just a^ freely as the
same was imported prior to July 1st.

Fargo, Nov. 5, 1918.
Judge Robinson.
Answering yours of recent
date, I enclose you a copy of a
letter from the Attorney General.
There are no regulations about
making affidavits or anything
else. The l'etter of the Attorney
General says that, the shipment
must be made in good faith. As­
suming that it is for medicinal
purpoes take it that no law
will be violated, but if it should
be shipped simply as booze to be
used as a beverage, then of course
such shipment is in bad faith and
cannot take place.
Respectfully,.
(Signed) MELVM A. HILDRETH.
United States Attorney.
In regard to 'shipments of liquor
for medicinal purposes, the U. S. At­
torney General writes Mr. Hildreth
thus:—"The Act'contains no-regula­
tions for such shipments, nor does it
authorize the Department of Justice
to make any such, regulations." And
in a letter to Judge Amidon, the U.
S. Attorney General holds that a deal
ar- who shipfe, or a carrier, who ca»,
nes, liquor In reasonable quantities
on a statement that it is intended for
medicinal, sacramental or other legal
purpose, will be regarded as having
acted in good faith. But if the
statement should prove to be untrue,
the person making it will be sub
ject to prosecution. He writes:—"The
department does not desire you to
make any statement or promulgate
any regulations as to how liquors
may be shipped for the Excepted pur-
statute was enacted under the power
given to congress to regulate inte­
state commerce, and it relates only
to property passing over the state
lines for the purpose of commerce,
trade or traffic.. Congress has no
power to interfere with the right of
any person to cross the state line as

often as he may please with his
wearing apparel, his dog, cat and any
other property not transported for
sale, trade or commerce. This is
as true of a bottle of liquor as of an
overcoat or a grip. Hence it is that
traveling men do commonly take in
their grips a bottle of good preventa­
tive medicinefi and any person may
safely do the same. Any person may
safely take with him a bottle of li
quor and cross the state line, back
and forth, one hundred: times "a day,
without incurring any penalty. But
it must not be taken for trade and
commerce. There you must draw the
line. You must -always remember
that it is safe and proper to be good,
even on the Sabbath day. if you find
a person who has been' bitten by a
rattle snake, and you can save his
life by giving him your bottle, you
have a perfect' legal right to do it.
Such an act is legal and commenda­
ble, but there must be no sale, trade
or barter.
Where are we at? When the Good
Samaritan rustled around town and
procured a bottle for our weeping At­
torney General, it was the proper
thing to do. It was legal and com­
mendable. And of course our*'Attor­
ney General was dead wrong when
he assumed to act as a Kaiser and lid
fight
romulgate orders denying others th.6
to save their lives by obtaining
liquor medicine. His excuse must be
that he .needed the dry vote and did
not dare to offend it. He was as the
steward who said:—What shall I do
I cannot work to beg I am ashamed.
There is nothing more deplorable and
ruinous than the fear of work and
the mania for office holding, and the
desire to act the part of a Kaiser.
Hence it is that Truth is .fallen in
the street and Justice standeth afar
off.

N E. A. Special to The Tribune.
Paris, France.—This Frenchwoman
will never know what a Dlunder it
was to offer a 20-franc tip to a squad
of Yanks. They had helped her move
a colony of French war orphans from
one part of a town 'to another, car­
rying sixty tons of equipment in mo­
tor trucks. Not knowing how to
thank the Americans, she thought it
would be about right if she would give
them a modest tip. Hence the 20
francs bv mail.
The next day the tip came back
to her and a polite note from Captain
George Young,' whose marine corps
men had done the work.

they canqot accept. You see. they did

Dr. -Mellenthin is a regular gradu­
ate in Medicine and Surgery and is
licensed by the state of North Da­
kota. He visits professionally the
more important towns and cities and
offers to all who call on this trip
consultation and examination free,
except the expense of treatment when
desired.
According to his method of treat­
ment he does not operate for chronic
appendicitis, gall stones, ulcers of
stomach, tonsils or adenoids.
He has to his credit many wonder­
ful results in diseases of the stomach,
liver, bowels, blood, skin, nerves,
heart, kidney, bladder, bed-wetting,
catarrh, weak lungs, rheumatism,
sciatica, leg ulcers and rectal ail­
ments.
If you have been ailing for any
length of time and do not get any
better, do not fall to call, as improper
measures rather than disease are very
often the cause of your long-standing
trouble.
Remember above date, that exam­
ination on this trip will be free and
that his treatment is different.
