PUBLIC CONVENIENCES
FOR THE CITY, -.

It would be a decidedly good
thing for this city to construct a
public market. and inaugurate
market days. Two-thirds OF
the trade Of the city comes from
the country, and these people
should be cared for while in the
city. There should be a toilet
room for ladies, parcels room,
waiting rooms and other con-
veniences. They could be ar
ranged and maintained by the
merchants at a small cost, and
would not only add to the popu-
larity of the city, but would
bring enough additional trade to
the city to repay the outlay. A
hundred farmers who trade in
the city would gladly give ten
dollars each toward such an en-
terprise. Business people who
refused to assist in the matter
could be prevented from reaping
the benefits by having cards is
sued by those who did support it,
necessary before the courtesies
oe extended.

The prolonged cold spell ha s
kept back seeding in this county,
and if it does not soon get warm

way the farmers are liable to.
realize some ready money at this
season Of the year when the ex-
ira expenses attendant upon the
planting OF a crop make it very
convenient. The prosperity Of.
the farmers Of this county is
proof positive of the financial.
success of grain growing. But
as land becomes scarcer and
more expensive, it be will be
found necessary for the farmer
to economize their energies, ard
to use much Of the valuable pro-
ducts now allowed to 60 to waste
about the farm. A few head Of
cattle can be raised on these pro-
ducts allowed to go to waste,
and the care would be compara-
lively small. The money would
materially aid in defraying the
expenses of the crops.

FARMERS AND PLEASURE

The news columns of the state
press nave for several weeks re-
counted the return of farmers
and their families from Euro
pean trips and winter sojourns
in the south. Cynics who do not
know the real cause for these
conditions might ascribe them to
the desire to get out of the
northern climate. The explana-
tion is elsewhere. however. The
prosperity of North Dakota
farmers enables them to spend a
winter in Europe or in the south
as a matter of pleasure. The
few months Of labor required t.
grow a crop in this state yields
such returns that the farmer can
we'll afford to spend a winter in
travel and pleasure. In no other
state in the union can this be
done, and it shows that North
Dakota is the paradise Of the in
dustrious tiller of the soil.

MAKE THE PIGGER WORK.

zsEn 4T y. . ~ u .
The almost constant violations
OF the prohibition laws in some
parts Of the state would seem to
indicate at first glance that the
laws themselves are defective.
such is not true. however. The
trouble is in the lack Of inforce-
ment. The best law that was
ever enacted becomes a dead
letter If NOT enforced. The
United States government re-
qulres a license OF twenty five
dollars to sell Intoxicating bev-
erages. Selling without such
license subjects the vendor to
severe punishment. The person
VINO attempts to evade this re-
quirement Of the federal govern
ment will soon be run to earth,
and the rigors Of the law will be
upon him. AS a result Of this
energetic and inevitable rneting
out of justice, no criminal how
ever reckI tess, would for b
moment engage In the nefariousI
business designated as blind
plugging, without having pro-
cured ID government license.
Hut with the state government
Devils Lake inter-ocean. (Devils Lake, Ramsey Co., Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1905, 1905-04-21

lit is different, not because the
law if enforced, is less severe
but because state officers are less
sleuth-like in ferreting out the
criminals, and less energetic iii
making the punishment common
surate with the crime when the
criminals are once within the
grasp of the law. The Jail Of
this county is now full to over
flowing with a gang Of loafing
blind piggers WIN are being fed
and housed at the expense of the
tax payers without one cent of
return except the suspension of
the damable business while the
criminal serves his term in Jail.
A part Of the sentence of every
one of these criminals is that he
shall be confined at hard labor
for fixed time. That part of
the sentence is as much a dead
letter as are the blue laws of
Massachusetts,.
Since the board of county
commissioners have purchased
the property adjacent to the court
house lot. these criminals should
be rut to work shaping and
grading the same. And if a Jail
and sheriff's residence is built.
as now seems probable, instead
of letting the whole thing by
contract, every particle of the
ordinary labor, such as morter
mixing. hod carrying. and SINH
lar work should be done by these
Jail birds, or the tax payers Of
the county should know the rea-
son why. A few ounces of sweat
from serious labor would have a
wonderfully moralizing effect
on this class of worthless crimi-
nails.

OUR NEW QUARTERS.

For a week the Inter-Ocean
has been engaged in the work of
moving. The task has been a
Iaborous one, but the splendid
appointments of the new quar-
tiers will repay all the trouble in
cident to the change. 1t is no
boast to say that the office is one
of the best arranged and most
convenient in the state. In the
front is roomy lobby. where pa
irons and friends can drop in
and feel at home. A ijoining
this is the business office, with a
cashiers window to the lobby.
Behind the business office is the
editors room wher, without
bother, the literary work Of the
paper can be done much more
expeditiously and far uetter than
formerly. In the other part Of
the lower story front is the type
setting machine room and mail
ing room. The rest of the lower
story is occupied by the presses,
folder, paper cutter. engines and
stock cases. On the upper floor
is located the private Office of the
managing editor. toilet roo ms
and the composition room for job
work. The latter is large, light
and comfortable, things that
those engaged in the publishing
work can appreciate. The work
rooms are all arranged as to be
exclusively private. There are
other reasons than personal ones
for this. Customers with adver-
tisements and job work do not
care to have their copy open to
the pub ic before it appears
in the paper or is delivered to
them
New and modern equipment
which has been delayed until
this time because of the former
crowded quarters, will be added
to the mechanical department,
making it not only strictly up-to-
date. but the best equipped office
ii this part of the state.
Every piece Of work done by
the Inter-O Ocean is completed in
its own shop. and it is therefore
a hume institution entirely, ard
not an agency for some city
prlntery.
