A National Weakness.
(Pittsburg Dispatch.1

MI. James J. Hill in a recent adj
dress before the Commercial Club of
st. Paul declared that profigacy is one
of our national characteristics. AS a
specification he adduced the waste of
the public domain and asserted that
now there Is no room on the land for
the immigrants rushing to our shores,
who must therefore "crowd into the,
cities"
The epithet of condemnation may
arouse discussion as to it's Justice.
But it is certain that the waste of our
forests the reckless comforting of our
public lands on corporations, the
grants of vast franchises in our cities,
the building of costly highways, leav-
ing them to be cut up by narrow tires,
are opponents, if not of profligacy, at
least of rockies failure to look to
the future. And the characteristic
governs other transactions. The lum-
Der man finds his present purpose best
served by slaughtering off the trees
from his timber tract and then aban-
doning the denuded land. Exactly the
same method governs the corporate
policy in dealing with the long and
short haul rates, of which Mr.. Hill is
an eminent exponent. The railroad
finds the immediate purpose served
by meeting competition on the long
hauls with heavily reduced rates,
while keeping up rates two to four
times as great on the intermediate
traffic. Therefore, they do SO, regard
less of the inevitable result of dwarf
ing and sitting by the discrimination
the local traffic, which if properly de-
veloped would be of the greater i'm
portance to their future prosperity.
This phase of the national failing is
pertinent because it bears on the case
which Mr.. Hill specifies. 1t is very
we'll established that if thorough cul-
tfvation were practiced on the farms
of the United States the land would
support an agricultural population
three times the present one But so
long as railroad policy concentrates
industry and progress at the COMPETE
tive points the concentration of popu-
lation there will go on. When the
powers of the corporate and political
world make it possible for the indus
try at way station to enjoy the same
transportation privileges as the indus
tries at the central city agriculture
and manufacturing can be brought in
to close juxtaposition, and the immi-
grafton need no longer crowd into
the cities.'

SOME GOOD WORK.

There is far more good to be derived
from the prevention of disease than
from physicians who prosper from the
sufferings of their fellow men, are
much more anxious to prevent disease
than to cure it.
In this particular the state board OF
health is doing a great work in pre-
venting the spread of contagious dis
ease, and the enforcement of sanitary
conditions that have much to do with
the general public health.
The board is not a figure head. but
has almost arbitrary power, and
rightly SO, for the best course in sani-
tation and quarantine is often SEEM
lngly harsh and needs an iron hand.
There has never been any serious OBJ
lection to it's actions however, as they
have always been reasonable
1t is doubtful if the general public
really understands the Importance OF
the work of the board. 1t must have
the reports of deaths, and the cause,
else it can not determine whether or
not an epidemic exists. In this par
ticular county health officers have in
some instances been sadly remiss in
their duty. Statistics have been de-
layed, and often omitted until the
monthly report of the secretary should
be in the hands of the public. The
people need to do some stirring up
along these lines
Another sanitary condition which
has been much improved by the per-
sistent work of the board is that OF
the caring for the dead. The
time has long since passed when
intelligent people regard the prepar-
ing OF the dead for burial in SAM
tary way, especially those who die
OF contagious diseases, as sacrilege.
On the contrary, the most careful
methods are used to prevent the liv-
ing from reaping the whirlwind
of death from the dead.
The raising of the qualifications of
SAAAOe%AAiS'o Aoo OCCA Iuo otcduy LuOuRQ
not radical course of the board, and
it has largely carried out it's plan.
1t is douhtful If one death in a thou
sand in this state can now be traced
to the unsanitary handling of the dead.
Other lines of work have been lust
as thoroughly done.
Smallpox, not only in this state but
every where has been reduced from
the character of plague to one not
much above bad cold, not by medi-
cine, but by sanitation Formerly the
victim made his will as he
was exposed, while the grave dig
ger was an once notified to begin
sharpening his tools. Now 1t takes
close attention from the attending
physicians to determine whether the
patient has smallpox or ordinary rash.
These changes are the result of
work exactly like that which is being
done by the board of health.
These officers are doing work that
is NOT appreciated ct its full value by
the public which profits by It with
out even q passing notice.

THAT $27,00O,OOO GRAFT.

Thus far there has not been any ex-
PLANTATION on the part of those news
papers and magazines that are en-
gagged in reforming other people as
to why the taxpayers of the country
should give clear, net bonus of $27,-
100000 a year to the publishers. The
Evening Times has quoted the post
master-general as to the fact that this
was the amount of the donation last
year, and there is no dispute in that
regard The essential thing now is for
some reform publisher (bah none) TO
tell the people, whom these publish
ers profess to love SO dearly, why il
is that this monumental graft goes on.
10 put 1T parliamentary, The Even
ing Times moved in one of it's early
issues that some explanation be made.
There was no second. A few days
later we renewed the motion; still no
second. We enter the motion for the
third time, and will wait due length
OF time, not for the still, small voice"
but for the noisy, large voice of re-
form to second it.
Any number of reform organs might
be named whose editors could do the
trick-if they have time to spare from
the self-imposed task of correcting
the conduct of other people. One of
those organs is located in this city.
Its owner is said to be making money.
plenty of it. Yet he has not offered to
tell the readers of his paper why he
should not pay his share of that $27,-
100000. His paper has not even print
ed the postmaster-generars report
showing>up the graft. Nor has he as
much as proposed to put a few cents

The Herald seemingly seizes with
avidity upon the verdict of acquittal
in the Bloom libel case with view
to making 1t serve as a text for a
lengthy diatribe On the manifold evils
contained in the present libel law.
The Evening Times has NO hesitency
in saying that In it's opinion the
Streeter libel law was not only who'll

was a grave mistake as we'll. How
ever, as it has been in full force and
operation for nearly a year and ap-
parently no one has been sufferer
on its account although 1t has been
grossly violated time and time again
the reason for the Herald's present
fierce onslaught upon 1t is not read

no other reason, suppose the Herald
publishes a list of all the "incom-

ed to be placed on "all of the state
administrative tickets" in the past.
If the Herald is in earnest in its
self-imposed task of purifying the po-
litical atmosphere here is a most ex-
cellent point to make beginning.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO
ABOUT IT?

Local real estate men are enthusi-
astic over the prospects of real es-
tate boom in this city this year. AL
ready the indication point to large
number of sales early in the season.
City property seldom begins to move,
, especially for building purposes, until
the middle of March. This season
there are already a number of in
quiries and the calls are largely for
unimproved property. This means
that there will be plenty of building
done during the summer.
More buildings mean more people
for the city. More people mean more
business for the business men, and
this means more prosperity for all.
There is however, another side to the
question. The people who come to the
city must be provided with imploy-
ment. Some may engage in business
but the people who form the bulk of
the population of any city are those
dependent largely upon their labors
for an income.
To do this there must be enterprises
fOstered in the city that will employ
men. The city with large popula-
ton of unemployed is ipso facto pau
perized.
The business people reap the profits
of the trade, and they can increase
that trade by enlarging the apportuni-
ties for men to secure employment in
the city.
There is but one character of indus
tries available for this purpose and
that is manufactures.
Take from the great industrial city
of Pittsburg it's manufactures, and il
would be waste place in which a
coyote would die of starvation within
a week.
The agricultural wealth of county
is great source of wealth, and the
man who engages in it is the most
independent in the world. But let the
world be deprived Of the man who con-
Sumes and does not produce, and the
agriculturalist must 60 back to print
tive conditions when man produced
his own food and, nothing more. The
money question would pass from poll
tics and Bryan would be without a
job. for there would be no barter.
e 1t is therefore evident that agricul-
ture alone never built a great city.
It is the commercial and Industrial
centers that are great both in popu-
lation and wealth.
Can Grand Forks become one?
Most certainly if the right spirit be
shown and the proper methods pur-
sued.
Suppose two enterprises be estab-
4ished in the city that would each
employ five hundred men. That
would mean. If some judgment be
used in employing men of families
rather than those without, an addition
q eight hundred families to the pop
ulation Of the city, and on the basis
aof the recent government census Of
