Louis James.

That familiar quotation of Shakes
peare, whats in a name," so often
misconstrued, can be most appro-
priately applied to the class of his
trionic contributions, dramatic or Tyr
ic, daily offered for public patronage.
A few notes of harmony ruthlessly
thrown together does not constitute
music. Neither does a comedy al
ways resemble comedy any more
than cue resembles a, que, both may
sound the same in the abstract, but
widely differ in the concrete. Not so,
however, with tragedy, no matter
under whatever disguise you may OBJ
scure it, hence the reason when the
announcement is made that a noted
actor is to appear in a noted tragedy,
the public knows exactly what to ex-
pect and, therefore, patronize the Of
fering with confidence lies the
enormous success of Louis James this
season in his big revival of Virgin
ius," here is great actor in, great
tragedy, and the public anticipates
great classic treat, which they will
undoubtedly receive here on February
IA.

THE LABOR QUESTION.

With the large amount Of building
in prospect in this city, the question
of securing labor becomes a rather
serious one.
The Times believes that the laboring
man should have gospel measure for
his labor. But when labor is scarce
as it often is in this country, the pay
becomes Rockefeller dividend.
The trouble has been that not suf-
fcient attention has been paid to the
sources from which labor is obtain
able.
1t has been the policy to accept
what drifted in and this has too often
been of the irresponsible kind.
If the employers of labor would go
into the fields where labor is abund-
ant and select the best obtainable, it
would do much to relieve the labor
conditions in this state
OHc VI tuc uIdWUdChS VI ILLS GULL
try, both in building and agricultural
matters is the excessive tax that is
paid to labor.
This is due to the fact that the en-
ployment season is short This keeps
out in a measure the man with whom
the permanency of the job is a ma
terial element, and leaves the field al
most entirely to the one who is look
ing for a big stake for few days.
There are notable exceptions, but
the rule would seem to be that in
Dictated above.
There must be more labor and OF a
better general character before the
conditions can become adjusted so
that labor will make fair return for
its work.

How Like spalding!

When Rufus Choate was United
States district attorney in Boston,
three sailors were before his court for
the robbery from their ship of a bag
of specie. and one of them turned
states evidence.
Upon the stand this witness, to a
final question by Mr.. Choate as to
what inducement the others held out
to him to join them, with a shame
faced hesitancy, made substantially
the following reply:
We'll. sir. after fellin' round a bit,
they ses to me, ses they: Come on,
Jack, an jine us. It's dead easy, an
it'll make us all rich; so as if we do
git ketched we can hire Choate, an
he'll clear us if they find the money in
our boots.'"
One could never forget the serio-
comic expression on that naturally
grave face, as Mr.. Choate, amid sup
pressed laughter, in which both court
and jury had to join, buside himself
with the papers upon his table, and,
turning to the defending counsel, with
as much dignity as the situation per-
mitted, said: He's your Witness

STORIES OF THE HOUR
A Wise Domestic.

Mrs. Wood Swift, president of the
National Council of American Women,
was praising servants.
Servants get too much abuse, too
little praise" she said. 'They have
the worst hours and the unpleasantest
work in the world; yet they are cheer
full. They have too many temptations
and too many responsibilities, but they
try conscientiously to be equal to any
task imposed on them.
Consider, for example, the many
scandalous quarrels that servants
hear. Suppose they told of these quar-
rels. But servants, as class, tell
nothing"
Mrs. Swift paused Then, smiling,
she resumed:
"a San Francisco woman had one
morning, in a maids presence, dis
graceful squabble with her husband.
Both lost their tempers completely.
They shouted that they hated one an
other. They said a number of things
they didn't really mean.
"All this, mind you, in the presence
of a mild hammered maid of some 40
years.
THE lady, afterward, was ashamed
and frightened. She wished to remove
from the maids mind the impression
that there had been family quarrel
She called the young woman to her
and said: .
81 suppose you heard my husband
and me conversing rather earnestly
this morning, Martha"
THE maid blushed.
Eyes, madam she replied.
"'I hope you thought nothing un-
usual was going on-nothing worth
repeating or talking about?'
"'Oh, madam, l wouldn't say a
word the maid exclaimed earnestly
L once had man myself, and assure
you, never a day passed that the
neighbors didn't believe one or the
other Of us would be killed."

NON COMPOS MENTIS.

In order to correct any misapprehen-
sion in reference to statement that
candidates can not be placed on the
official ballot except by through the
machinery of the primary election,
The Evening Times desires to state
that it is not responsible for the in
ability of others to distinguish be-
tween the statute regulating primary
elections and that regulating general
elections.
If. because OF ignorance, the pri-
mary law is quoted to prove a conten-
ton in reference to the general cleo
ton law, and there is an inability to
see the difference, there is little need
to attempt enlightenment
The Evening Times quoted portion
of the general election law to show
the right of parties to be placed on the
official ballot at the general-not the
primary-election.
This provision is not repealed by the
primary election law. Therefore it
stands.
There will be two elections-the
primary to select candidates accord
ing to parties, and then these and such
others as may be selected under the
general law in force before the pass
age of the primary law will become
the candidates to be voted for at the
general election.

BREAD CAST UPON THE WATERS.

The indications are that Grand
Forks will have the greatest building
boom next summer that it has expert
enced in several years. if not in it's
entire history.
This conclusion is reached after
careful inquiries made at the offices
of the architects, the contractors and
the building material men.
Some of the buildings, like that of
the International Harvester company,
will be immense structures. But
great number will be homes of mod
crate cost.
These things indicate that Grand
Forks is forced to expand. 1t does not
have sufficient homes for the people
who now reside here, and the board
ing houses and apartment houses are
full to overlooking.
The building of homes is necessary
to relieve the condition.
But the building of the homes now
contemplated will afford only temper
airy relief, for there are hundreds IF
people ready to locate here so soon
as they can find homes.
The city now has the industries 10
permit 1t to increase much beyond it's
present SIZE The new industries that
will come in the near future will bring
more people and the city will, as a
consequence, make a great stride for
ward.
But these things are not coming Of
their own volition. They have not
done that in the past. They will come
because of the energy and push of the
progressive citizens of the city. who
are willing to give their time and
aid financially in everything that
/ makes for the general good of the city.

he never lost a certain disdainful,
supercilious, patronizing humor This
humor was very distasteful to some

people. It was exercised once upon a
duke, and cost Wilde rather lucra-
tive post.
"The duke wanted a tutor for his
two sons, and Wilde was recommend
ed. He called, the duke examined
him, and seemed favorable impressed.
but he was very great duke, with
a very high opinion of himself. and his
manner grated on Wilde.

young man was:
