BAD EGGS ON BLACKLIST
State Food Commissioner Would For.
bid Sale Such q Course Would
Be Benefit to All Concerned.

Dairy and Food Commissioner E.
X. Slater would make it a mlsdemean-
or for any one to sell bad egg. Such
a law, he thinks, not only would
diminish the visible supply of bad eggs
but would give better prices to the
man who brings his eggs to the
market while they are fresh.
AT present." he says. "the merchant
who buys eggs from the farmers is
forced by competition to pay a
regular price per dozen whether they
be good or bad. The merchant In
turn makes the same demand upon the
commission merchant. The commits
sion merchant is forced to pay level
price for good and bad eggs. He must
allow for certain per cent of loss
In Gambling and make his prices that
much lower. The decrease is felt all
along the line down to the producer.
There Is an abundance of bad eggs.
especially at this time of the year.
while prices are advancing there is
a tendency to hold the eggs so as to get
line benefit of the raise. and the result
Is large number of poor ones. II
II were prohibited no one would dare
to buy or sell the bad eggs. The re-
taller would cands' the eggs and pay
a better price for the good ones and
refuse the bad ones. The farmer II.
turn would bring his eggs in often
er. The consumer might be Obliged
to pay higher price but he would get
better eggs.
The proposition is entirely rea-
sonable. Our laws make It mis-
demeanor to sell spoiled food of almost
every other sort, including butter,
milk and cream. Then why should
1t not be illegal to sell bad eggs?"

date for county superintendent OF
schools for Grand Forks county, was
born in the city Of Ottawa. October
IL. 1875, and is therefore 81 years of
age. He came to North Dakota in 1892
and three years later. entered the
university of the state. Not having
sufficient funds to pay his way, he
spent part OF the time each year in
teaching. the money SO earned with
that. and which he earned during his
vacations in the harvest fields and on
threshing rigs, enabled him to gradu-
ate with high honors in 1899. He was
appointed principal of the Marvel
schools. and on Christmas day of 1900,
he was united in marriage to Miss
Louise Mcdonald, Grand Forks
county girl. He resigned his position
as the head of the Marvel schools in
1903 to enter the Law college of the
university from which he graduated
in 1905. During the time he was TAX
ing the Law course. he was appointed
by Superintendent McLain as his
deputy, and assumed the duties of the
Office in August 1905.
Mr.. Calder is an active member of
the Congregational church, and has
since he began his work as a teacher,
been closely identified with the gen.
eral work of the teachers. having
been secretary. vice-president and
president OF the Tri- County Teachers
association. His experience in teach
ing dates from from 1894 and includ g
several terms in rural schools. Owing
to his optimistic disposition. close ap-
p.:cation to. work and unfailing en-
ergy. he has been exceptionally sue

FANATICIsM AND FORCE.

Peculiar waves of thought sweep over
this country occasionally, and while
the impressions are far from lasting,
they serve to point out some of the
dangers which the country avoids be-
cause of the cool headed conservatism
which refuses to be shaken from the
we'll established principles of social
and industrial life.
The class of people who assume to
become leaders in these new thought
REVEALS are as rule too much warped
in their judgement to distinguish be-
tween progress and men who typify
it and fanaticism and men who become
the personification of that.
President Roosevelt is an illustration
of the man who can make progress,
and the legislation enacted by the re
publican party in congress during the
last few years is a splendid example
of the idea OF making progress with
out becoming fanatical. This latte.
has been constructed along conser-
vative and careful lines and after tins

was completed and will need no change
for centuries except that which is
needed to meet new conditions which
have not yet arisen. The rate law and
other legislation which was enacted
by the last congress was as deliberate
ly done as though it were a part of
the constitution.

DAMAGES FOR FIVE THOUSAND
Interesting Case to he Tried at Next
Term Of District Court.

One OF the suits that will be tried
at the December term of the district
court will be that OF Ellen Theron,
by her guardian, Pit Theron, va. So
phia Theron, to recover damages in
the sum Of $4,000 because she was
called thief.
The complaint alleges that in the
month of September at the plaintiffs
home near this city the defendant
charged her with the theft of SO from
her bedroom. The plaintiff also al
leges that the said defendant threat
ened to call the sheriff IL the plain
tif did not confess. Several witnesses
were present at the time and the case
will probably be an interesting one.
The parties interested are distant
relations and this will tend to make
an interesting case. The plaintiff de-
MES that she ever stole any money
from the defendant and says her feel
ings have been damaged to the extent
of $4,000.
Massee & Finlayson will appear for
the plaintiff and Bronson & Collins
for the defendant.

In political life the best illustra.
ton Of the opposite idea is to be found
In the action of the democratic party

years ago 1t was bent upon the en-

Cleveland twice to the presidency on
this issue and then enacted the Will

and when the country was brought to
the verge Of starvation because OF this
legislation the party turnel upon Cleve
land in the most vindictive manner and
denounced him in the most bitter
manner.
The trouble was tina, the party was
controlled by fanaticism at tina, time
and its actions took on the same color
ing. Nor has it changed in this day.
A few weeks ago it was declaring that

state either fitted or sufficiently clean

did the reputation of Cleveland after
he had been placed in a position where
he was compelled, along with his
party, to assume responsibility. The
same thing will be true OF Burke. The
same would be true if he were elected.
He would do nothing more than give
his party the appointments and assist
it in carrying the state because there
is nothing for him to reform. He would
repeat the experience of Cleveland and
die in oblivion.

George B. Winship is now bent on
reforming the world. George is a real
reformer. He modestly admits this
himself. After every state convention
since 1896, Mr.. w. and his Heral1
have criticized the action of the re-
publican state convention, and after
ten years Of underhanded work against
the ticket, and half hearted support
OF the party of which they claim to be
members, the two have finally broken
on the reservation. and gone demo-
cratic. Judging by their efforts in
the past, and especially OF last sum-
mer, this indicates large republican
majority In this state.
The real reason of this is not hard
to find. For four campaigns prior to
this one, the Herald has waited till
It was awarded slice of the state
printing generous one-and then
it has In half hearted manner sup
ported (O the ticket. This year It was
not given any printing on account of
the unfortunate breaking of the un-
lawful printing combine, and as a re-
suit. the Herald Is out supporting the
democratic ticket. OF course, this
will have no special result on the out
come In the state, because George has
been pretty generally discredited in
his specious efforts to pose as the only
truly good man in the state.
We hope after the campaign is over,
the Herald may find time to explain
how it came to be led into the printing
combine. and to restore some of the
unlawful profits which it flched from
the pockets of the taxpayers of the
state through this monopolistic deal.
Reform begins at home, and true
conversion and sincere penitence are
always accompanied by restitution.

In his address at the recent Meth
odist conference, Judge Pollock paid
Judge Burke the handsome compli-
ment of saying that he had measured
up to the ideal judge and had stood
for the enforcement of law in the dis
trict: by his fair and fearless conduct
he had become terror to the lawless
element Of the district AMI had brought
order out of chaos. He had made an
excellent judge"
Now, If our memory serves us right,
about eighteen months ago the papers
and persons opposing Judge Burke for
election to the district bench. were
using precisely the same arguments
as they are now using against Judge
Knauf. tO-wit.: dwelling long and
earnestly on the allegation that he was

that he was more of politician than

anxious to raise the standard Of the
judiciary by taking 1t out of politics. g
That was the slogan of Burke's oppon-

Judiciary out OF politics" bv running
Judge Glaspell for district Judge,
whom Burke had defeated by "politi-

but there is more in his fitness for
the Office than these things. He is
not only interchangeable worker in
the office, but he has the very highest
executive ability and a power of or
sanization that places him far in ad-
vance of almost any one in position
such as he is now seeking. The tax
payers realize that a comprehensive
knowledge of school architecture, and
practical ability to see that they are
put into execution Is one of the strong
qualifications Of county superinten-
dent. Mr.. Calder has this ability in
marked degree. Another thing that
is needed in county superintendent
more probably than in any other coun-
~ official. is judicial ability. There
are a thousand questions arising in
his office. as every man who does
business with the Office knows, which
requires good good judgment and the
acumen Of n broad minded man. The
man who fills the position of county
superintendent. must in addition to
being n trained and qualified teacher,
lie possessed of the very highest exc
cutive ability and have a broad and
practical understanding of everything
connected with the building and re-
pairing and furnishing Of school
houses, for in these particulars the
largest wastes of the tax payers

THE EVENING TINES.

AS the campaign grows apace the
republican party in this county and
in the state at large is brought to
a realization Of the demands which
called for republican paper in this
city. The Evening Times came as
the result OF that demand. 1t is here
and it will remain.
That 1t has been republican to the
backbone it takes pleasure in repeat
ing. That it has been able to see and
recognize the rights Of all men to their
party beliefs even when they were
different from its own, has been one
OF Its greatest pleasures. While It
has been ever ready for battle when it
believed there was need of its eff
forts, 1t has not stabbed its opponents
in the back nor hurled brickbats from.
dark hiding places. 1t has stood in
the open and given blow for blow.
1t has had the courage of its con-
victions and has been fearless in its
expression of them. And there has
never been any doubt as to where it
stood on any question.
While it has sometimes been in the
position of the one juror with the
eleven contrary, men against him,
when the contest in which it was en-
gagged was closed the Evening Times
has never sulked in its tent and has
been ready to extend its every energy
to the work in which all citizens must
unite when once the public verdict
has been rendered
Republican in politics it has recog-
nized the generic principle of all
parties as we'll as civic government
that in republic the majority must
rule and that any other course can
only mean anarchy and political dis
aster. Believing in the intelligence,
the integrity and honor of the masses
Of the republican party to govern
themselves 1t has been at all times
willing to abide by the decision of the
majority Of the party and to accept
the verdict as the party law in the
same spirit and with the same fidelity
to the party that 1t accepts the voice
of the majority in the greater contest
at the polls on election day.

THE STATE SENATOR'S

The dangerous tendencies of the
political heresies of the Herald are
we'll illustrated in recent editorial
concerning the election of state SEN
ators in the even numbered districts
of the state in the coming election.
These senators, it will be remembered,
will hold Office for four years and
will of course vote for United States
senator. That one senator may be
the balance of power in that branch
of the national congress and might be
the means, were he democrat. of
defeating the best republican legisla-
ton ever attempted in the interests OF
the people of the nation.
The Herald, carrying out its demo-
cratic policy to the end which it de-
sires, seeks to make the voters belive-
and to better accomplish this under
handed purpose it poses on that score
as republican-that the most i'm.
portant thing to be considered in
reference to the candidates for the
state senate is whether or not they are
tarred with the same stick as itself.
If they are not. is the inference drawn
from the Herald's arguments, then
elect democrats in their stead.
II party politics are worth a con-
tinental in the state and in the nation
especially, then such arguments are
the merest political bosh. The Even
ing Times Is in favor of republican
United States senator from North Da-
kota above all things. The man who
shall be that senator is not matter
of consideration at this time for it
must be understood that the principle
Of true republication is that party is
greater than man, and, unfortunately
for the democratic morning daily-the
republicans of this state have always
took the same high grounds leaving II
In. the slough Of despond.
It IL only necessary so far as the
candidates for the state senate are
concerned to know that they are re-
republicans and that when the party
principles are at stake they will be
true to the people who have selected
them. This Is guaranteed by their con-
sdtuents who have brought them out
as candidates. II they are republicans
they deserve every republican vote and
they should be elected 80 that they
may assist in the election OF re-
! publican to the United States senate
no matter who he is, for the integrity
OF the party is sufficient to guarantee
that he will be man worthy Of the
place and credit to the state.
The Herald would like to see q
democratic elected so that it would
have its own political ends furthered
but the republican voters in the dis
tricts which elect state senators will
see that no democrats are elected by
republican votes.
