Pauline Hall.

One of the principal events of the
local theatrical season will be the ap-
pearance of Miss Pauline Hall and her
big opera company in "Dorcas" at the
Metropolitan theater on Thursday,
Feb. Is. Speaking of the distinguished
prima donna the New York Herald
says: "Her singing is marked by
rare intelligence and the highest or
der of comic opera art in the modern
school of operate writing and play
acting now generally in vogue. We
know of none quite her equal She
graces a pinnacle of her own"
In her new opera "Dorcas," which
is by Harry and Edward Paulton, au-
thors of 'Erminie," Miss Hall has
never appeared to better advantage.
The stellar role not only demands the
full scope of her magnificent voice, but
permits the full play of her unusual
talents as an actress as we'll.

THE PROPER REMEDY.

The announcement of prospective
coal strike in Pennsylvania gives the
average North Dakotan the cold shiv-
! ers.
Neither the strikers nor the opera
tors care little for the innocent third
party-the public. To them it is of
small concern whether there is suf-
ficient fuel supply to keep the people
from freezing or not.
1t is battle for position regardless
of consequences.
This emphasizes the fact that North
Dakota is playing a FOOLS game in
permitting the Vast fields of fuel which
underlie so much of it's surface to re-
main undeveloped while it's people send
nearly two thousand miles for their
fuel and are at the mercy of both
sides in their biennial war on each
other, and freeze while they fight.
There is no more need of depending
on the Pennsylvania coal fields for
fuel than there. is Of depending on
their farms for wheat.
North Dakota has all the coal she
needs. 1t is near home and freights
should be much less.
But it is not this alone that should
cause the people of the Northwest to
sit up and take notice.
The mines of Pennsylvania employ
enough people to populate small ma
ton. They have talked their griev-
ances until they have become part
Of their religion.
They are of a cosmopolitan charac-
ter, different races and nationalities,
and not always the best of either.
They have become mighty army of
disorganized power. and under certain
leaders can be swayed largely at will.
They lack moral stamina.
Under these conditions it is reason
able to infer that strikes will occur
just as regularly as the attempts to
adjust and fix the wage scale are made.
When these strikes come there is
either coal famine UT coal robbery,
or both. Fuel cannot be had ON de-
mand and prices become extortionate.
It will always be SO until there are
other fuel fields opened to supply the
trade 50 that the stopping 81 produc-
ton in one place will not necessarily
mean freezing everywhere. 4.
That Is Just the field that North Da-
kota possesses and it would be we'll
tor capitalists to look to the newer
fields rather than ovsrcrowd the old.

Home Study-Pro and Con.

There are some who oppose home
study by children, so strongly as to
prohibit it entirely, while there are
others who favor it so strongly that
they stultify the child's mind and Inn
pair it's health by over study at home.
1t is the object of this article to
break away from these two classes Of
extremists and aim to reach the happy
medium in home study. 4
The small, frail, delicate child should
be encouraged, always, to take az
much out door exercise as possible.
In fact, such a child should be taken
to warmer climate than North Da-
kota has, for frail plants need plenty
of sunshine and pure air while the
harder variety will thrive in spite of
the severe climate.
There is not much to be accomplish
ed in house study by the young pupil
just beginning school work unless its
parent or some older brother or sister
can give it assistance, in which case,
we believe, even the beginner may
spend half hour each evening to a
good purpose without impairing health
The study habit is a good one. to
cultivate and parents do children an
injustice, oftimes, by allowing too
much play. If play interests the child
more than its books, we may be sure
that child needs some urging along the
line of study while, on the other hand,
If the child is SO interested in its books
that it does not care to play then the
urging should be in the opposite direc-
ton. These are safe indexes for the
guidance of both parents and teachers.
Whether at home or at school when a
child shows no inclination to take
physical exercise It should be encour-4
aged to do SO. S
We recall an instance two bright,
beautiful girls who had large book

and the senator in view Of the protes-
tations went to the comptroller Of the
currency and asked him to allow Mr..
Winship to cancel the debt by paying
20 cents on the dollar. which the
comptroller did. But when the sena-
tor came back to Grand Forks, he dis
covered that Mr. w. was we'll fixed

that Mr.. Winship was, the recipient of
about $4,000 as emoluments from the

The Milk In the Cocoanut.
[McCumber Herald

Some of the state papers are> busy
naming possible candidates for the
governorship. OF the various men
mentioned, there is not one, in our
Judgment. more capable or better
qualified than Governor Sarles, and we
know no reason why he should not be
honored with second term. 1t may
be said, in passing, that the alleged
opposition to the governor comes from
the "insurgent" camp, which includes
a little bunch of newspaper men of
more or less prominence and ability.

"Faust."

| An Offering at the Grand Forks Met
ropolitan that Immediately suggests an
evening of wholesome enjoyment, with
its wonderful melodies, bright scenes
and entertaining story, will be that of
the performance of Gounod's Faust"
| of which Mr.. Henry w. Savage has
made notable revival this season.
An adequate and complete interpreta-
ton of this famous French MASTER
piece has not been attempted in years
IN this country. Individual numbers
from the opera, such as Marguerite's
sparkling Jewel Song" the delight Of
every concert artist; Siebel's tender
Flower Song" rendered by the con-
tralto in the beautiful Garden Scene;
the great Soldiers Chorus" and the
inspiring trio in the prison scene are
familiar to every voice and piano stu
dent in the country. At the same time,
the dramatic grandeur of Faust" with
its nne scenic possibilities, cannot be
adequately pictured except by an or
sanization superbly equipped in me-
chanical and electrical effects. The
score demands full grand opera or
chestra such as Manager Savage has
furnished the English Opera company,
and conductor in sympathy with the
IDEAS of the composer. When first
produced nearly fifty years ago in
Paris Faust" created 'furore of op-
position, but the great composer lived
to see it become the most popular of
all French operas.--a position that it
still holds in the musical world. Mr..
Savage has provided zone of his best
casts for this opera, making it indeed
a feature of his seasons repotory,

for the community at large and for the
criminal, and more in harmony with
