WHEN THE

For the city officials to take the oath or office here in Waterbury the tax payers will bc on the verge of nervous prOstration. because all the candidates who have been declared elected have found out they received so many lile- gal ballots that they cannot ccnscieli- tiOasly take the offices: and the other fellows won't take them becausea T hi!- Jority of the voters said they dldn want them. and the latters pride Tar exceeds their rights. Therefore the taxpayers predieanent will be rather serious However. We hope both par ties will come togetiier and reach some understanding whereby we will. at least have office holders enough 10 run the city. If they will oaly come together. We know everything will come out all right in the wash" Say, speaking of washing, just brings 10 our mind those bottles we have dls- played in onr window. They are filled with the best washing fluid made In this country: each bottle contains enough of the fluid to do fonr wash tnss: the price is 15c: in other words 4c per washing. and you won't feel q bit tired after using it. Just think of doing your washing in less than half the time It usually takes, and no tired feeling afterwards. We still give four bars of soap with 2 pound of our 50c lea at

We Will Have Cheaper Sugar.

Hardly any branch of agriculture is 50 profitable as sugar beet raising where the soil is favorable and q fac tory is at hand. The manufacture of sugar at present prices is abnormally profitable where it can be carried on on sufficiently large scale. But most of the cane-producing countries can produce little else. They must stay in the business, and by improving their methods they can greatly reduce the cost of production. The world is bound to have cheap sugar. and the profits of culture and manufacturing will have to come down to normal rates.

The hail storm period is at hand
and a good crop lie in sight. AS a
general rule it would not be necessary
to insure your crops but this season is
q stormy one and unlike other seasons.
The big hail storm that passed over
jamestown, Sanborn, Valley City and
other points last Sunday night is
only a warning Of what we may get
here. The Courier would advise farm
ers-those who can-who have a fair
crop in sight, to protect themselves
from total loss by hail and get in
sured. We do not advocate mutual
companies, and the fact that we are
advertising these companies is be-
cause we are in the newspaper bust
ness and our columns are open for
business at a regular rate. We have
several first-class companies in Coop.

loss you can rest assured that you
we'll get your money and no assess
ments to follow, It is your own faul,

liable company. We know nothing
about any Of the mutuals advertising

From the earliest times Switzerland
has been famed for the majestic
grandeur of its mountain scenery, and
Italy for the ravishing beauty of it's
many picturesque lakes. The very
names of the Bernina Hospice, ST.
Moritz, Jungfrau, Lake Coma, Lake
Maggiore, the Lake Of Lucerne call up
enhancing visions of marvellous val
leys, peaks and glaciers, frowning
mountain-passes, castled shores, and
cleaning stretches of CLASSY water
under soft azure skies. 10 see these
enchanting sights even in pictured
form is to introduce broadening In
auence and a wider outlook into ones
life. In forthcoming issue Of The
Ladies' Home Journal vivid idea of

the Swiss and Italian lakes will be
given in a double-page of the most re-
marlkable views ever secured of the
more wonderful and lovelier portions
of these wvrld-renowned regions.

The American Economist, the organ
of the American Protective Tariff
League, says that the assertion that
the tariff is growing unpopular in the
West rests on Imagination, without a
supporting fact, and that references to
the Babcock bill as Indicating this un-
popularity of the tariff are amusing.
Then the Economist quotes volum-
inously from Eastern high protection
organs to prove its claim. Past ex-
periences indicate that tariff revision
is fraught with serious consequences
to the Industrial world. 1t is not
true, however, that there is no tariff
revision sentiment in the West. On
the contrary, the feeling that some.
thing must be done to stem the en-.
croachments of the gigantic trusts, .
which are supposed 10 be directly fos'
tered by the Dingley tariff, is growing
stronger every day. The difficulty
seems to be to establish a logical con
nection between trusts and tariff
England; a free trade country, is plas
tered with trusts,

William Jennings Bryan has re-
ceived a new call to get up and hustle
for the dear people-and incidentally
for Bryan, He has been licked to a
standstill twice with the democratic
populist combination at his back, and
now that eensible democrats of the
country have returned to their better
sense and refuse to have any more to
do with the Nebraska has-been as a
presidential candidate. William Jen-
nings has decided to offer himself on
the altar of the people for a third
term and wants a new party started to
compose of sore head republicans,
democrats and populists with Bryan
as the candidate. If such a thing
should happen he would sustain a
third defeat greater than ever. 1t is
about time the gentleman from the
Platte stepped down and out and give
some other fellow chance to go up
against the real thing.

The Swedish Lutherans in session
in Jamestown, New Jersey. had live
~ debate and almost scrim-
mage over the adoption Of
an amendment to the church
constitution which forbids any
member from belonging to any lodge
and no person can join the church who
belongs to secret organization. The
amendment proposed to let church
members belong to lodges but on q
vote this was turned down 81 to II
after one Of the warmest times ever
INDUCED in and the lie given by
several prominent ministers. The
constitution read that ssno one shall
become member of the church who
belongs to a Masonic or other secret
or atheistic society," Some of those
fellows are too good for this world
and should have lived during the time
of our Puritan fathers. Their minds
cannot see any good out of the church
and they are about 100 years behind
the times. There isn't a secret society
in existence today but what it's ritual
is founded upon just as good religious
principles as any church constitution,
the only trouble being that the mem
bers don't live up to it-and what is
true of the lodge members in this
respect is also true of church men,
bers.

General Harrison Allen, who has
not had the dust of North Da-
kota on his clothes for many years,
has been appointed to big fat Office
in the auditors office at Washington,
drawing a salary Of 81, SOC, which said
appointment is credited to N. D. The
old man is nothing more or less than a
carpet Dagger and has had his NIT
out for some snap like this for the
last 20 years. It would seem that
North Dakota could furnish several
good republicans, bona fide residents
to fill such positions, and men who
are entitled to recognition for good
and efficient service.
