The Legislature of 1891 passed a Law
requiring the public institutions of the
state to use native coal. This has worked
to the satisfaction of the institutions and
the economy of the state. Now comes a
suggestion from Hon. Herbert Root. q
valued subscriber of the Forum at Valley
City, in regard to extending the benefits
and securing the same to the county build
ings and public schools of the state as
we'll; he saws:
Why don't the coal men of this state get
afiaw through the legislature term
requiring all county and school officers to
burn Ignite coal, mined within the state
in all county and public school buildings
within the state? Such law would save
the taxpayers thousands of dollars per year
and be great encouragement to home
industries. OF course it 10 understood that
public officers will use only the highest
priced and most convenient fuel, as long
as the taxpayers foot the bills unles some
screw is applied to keep them down into
line.-Fargo Forum.
Right you are Major! such law would
benefit the whole state. Build railroad to
Mclean county, it can be mined and
loaded on cars, for SO cents ton. Millions
of tons, to spare. We are using it, in our
court house, school honses, and in every
home.

The bill in relation to text books, in
troduced by Representative Strom. is the
Iowa law. Mr.. Strom does not conter{d
that this law is perfect, but believes it has
some merit, and that some of its provisions
should be incorporated in new text book
law for North Dakota. Representative
Strom is in favor of uniform text kooks,
but is undecided As to whether it should
be state or county uniformity. He is also
undecided as to the policy of free text
books. The problem of looking after the
books in each district would be- a serious
one, and unless careful record was kept
there would be many losses and much ex-
travagance.- Tribune.
This is good move; let the children OF
North Dakota, have free text books, there
by securing uniformity. As it ls at present,
we find when visiting our schools, II halt
dozen arithmetics by different ssuthots
among dozen pupils. We would favor
the county uniformity; have the law au-
thorizing County Superintendent to call
the teachers and school officers together.
and let the majarity of them decide, what
books should be adopted for that county.

Suicide of Will Maze.


An associated press dispatch of the I'd
inst from Grand Rapids, Mich, reads as
follows:
Will R. Maze, telegraph editor of the
Grand Rapids Eagle, was found dead in
his chair Yesterday morning when his as
sociates went to work. He had been drink
ing heavily of late, in spite of having taken
che gold cure, and last evening he was
notified that his services we're no longer
needed. He grew Respondent and threat
ened suiside, but as he had often made
threats before little attention was paid to
him. The coroner decided an inquest un-
necessary, as bottle or morphine on his
desk ana an accom- mpanying note told the
story. Maze was 35 years old and was an
experienced newspaper man, having
worked on several local papers. few
years ago he went to Bismarck, N. D., and
became editor of the Bismarck Tribune.
He was elected probate Judge, but his in
temperate habits forced him to resign and
return to this city. He leaves mother,
brother and two sisters.
Poor, unfortunate fellow, who, of the
old-time Bismarkers, does not remember
Billy Maze? Being an old frienl and as
sOciate of the editor of the Bismarck Trib-
une in 1881, he accepted position on this
paper. He was a bright newspaper man,
and an encyclopedia on current affairs.
He was of nervous, yet kind and pas
sionate disposition, but couldn't stand
grief. Away back in the '7O's he was dis
appointed in love and took to drink. At
first he tried to drown his sorrow, but
finally, through the mediation of kind
and Christian gentleman, he quit drink
ing-after terrible strugle-and finally
came to Dakota. He found Bismarck a
lively town-the goodfellowship of whose
people he could not withstand. They did
not realize his weakness until too late, and
again he sank into the slough of dispair.
His Bismarck friends finally succeeded in
inducing him to leave the city, and take
charge of newspaper in Washburn, Nc
Lean county. At that point he prospered
for a while, and was elected to various
offices. Again he succumbed to King
Alcohol, and it was with the greatest
difficulty that friends could induce him to
return to q widowed mothers influence in
Grand Rapids. Surrounded by home in
fluence he mustered sufficient will to again
edeem himself, and for several years had
been doing good work on the daily papers
of that city. It seems that his old master
again took control, and what he had often
threatened, he finally, on the first day of
the new pear-suicided. He leaves heart
broken mother, brother and two sisters to
mourn his loss-aside from host of sympa-
thetic friends among Old-time acquaint-
ances.
