ALWAYS IN
The LEAD
WiIIiston Meet. Tasus in Hot Game
Sunday and Defeats Opponents BY
Score Of 10 to 8.

Williston again proved her
superiority over all corners IN
the league Sunday by defeating
the Tagus team by a score OF 10
to 8. The game was the best
of the season and the attendance
was the largest of the year.
The. .Tagus boys made practically
all their runs in the first two IN
nings and after that they had to
walk to the bench, one by one.
Jackson, after the first two in
nings pitched excellent ball, and
having the best of support there
was nothing to it but a winning
for the home team. Next Sun
day the team goes to Ross where
they Will neet that team on
their home grounds. Ross and
Williston are the only two teams
that have not met with defeat
but one of them is sure to meet
their Waterloo Sunday. Ross
is confident but the Wilhston
boys are out for the game and
we predict a victory for them.
An effort is being made to secure
a train for an excursion and a
large crowd will accompany the
team, to this, the most interest
ing game of all.
The lineup of the teams in the
game here follows.

Washouts on N. P.

Owing to numerous washouts

their trains are being run over
the Great Northern at present.

The Russian Situation.

As will be seen in our telegraph
dispatches, the situation in Russia
does not improve. It is true the
anticipated strike did not occur
but the unrest is just as great
Human life is as insecure as be-
fore the days Of the Douma. Fur
jthermore tits now understood that
the Russian government is already
plotting to have elected to the
next parliament men who will
prove its plant tools. AL these
things only postpone the revolu-
ton. The people will be taught
by these experiences that they are
safe only when IL cir arch enemy
is destroyed.
There is ample evidence Of sedi-
ton in the army. An army re-
view can not be conducted with
out the officers taking their lives
in their hands. From one end, Of
the empire to the other Insured
ton prevails, and the Gar him
selfhas to eat, drink and sleep
surrounded by armed guards.
Revolution will not wait on evolu-
ton in Russia.

The Garbage Problem.

We understand the authorities
are going to wrestle with the gar
bage problem Of the city. The
August sun in its effort to dissi-
pate the poison Of the refuse piles
still remaining in the alleys and
upon the vacant lots, is general
ing noxious gasses which must
exert deleterious effect upon the
health Of the inhabitants Of the
city. We urge that those who are
throwing refuse where it may
cause this discomfort will desist
before the officer has to speak to
them. 1t is unpleasant for the
officer, and unpleasant for the
other parties, to discuss these
matters. Let us have a clean and
healthy city.

Let Us Have an Improvement
League.

We would suggest the organizza-
ton of an Improvement League
for Devils Lake. This is city of
between three and four thousand
people. We are without "a park;
very little boulevarding has been
done; the absence of flowers us
noticed by the visitor at once, and.
the need Of a sanitary Inspectors
occasionally limited at An I'm
proyement League would help
these matters along. Our people
are practical people. The streets
are wide and splendidly graded.
Our sidewalks insthe3 business sec
ton are equal to those Of the cities
OF larger size. But we have not
given attention to the aesthetic
appearance Of our vigorous little
city. IL we wish to attract to us

Some Difficult Problems to
Solve. an Il

The primary law as it is on
the statutes books Of North Dak-
ota is not wholly satisfactory to
any one. This il no reason why
we should not persevere and Sc
cure primary law that will ac-
complish the purposes of its
designers ~the placing Of the
power and respo nsiblity of all
political nominations in the
hands of the people. There Isl
every reason to expect that our
next legislature will give us a
primary law which will cover
all elective Offices, and one which
will require an expression Of
preference for United States
senator. 5SI
In the discussions Of this an
ticipated amendment we hope:
our legislators will take into &C
count the tremendou changes
which the adoption of a fill
primary law will force upon the
electorate. The primary, law as
it is now contemplated, will do
away with county and state con-
ventions. The functions of these
bodies, in all legitimate parti-.
culars, should not be abrogat-.
ed.
For instance: The state con-
vention has always elected the
delegates to the national conVen-a
ton. 1t elects its member Of
the national committee. In the
absence Of the convention how
will these officials be elected?
At the present time the state.
of Washington is wrestling with
this problem. It would seem
like putting a burden upon the
primary law to require those to
be nominated by popular vote,
but we see no other way to do it.
Such a method would be logical
and consistent in principle, and
we believe should be tried. This
primary law is a step towards
pure democracy in government,
and should be given an honest,
trial. We can not; expect perfec-
|tion alta bound. Our duty, how
ever, is to go forward and meet
the problems as they come up.
The operation Of the law will
bring up its weak points and
they may be remedied. 1T is
well to study intimately the ex-
periences Of other states that we
may profit by them.

Why Not q Whole Drug
" House.

b We were tai king to a man who
has travelled extensively through
out the North west in regard to
the prospects of this city be-
coming a distributing center
for this section of the state, and
he gave it as his opinion that
everything depended upon the
enterprise and energy Of the citi-
$zens.s He said that Minot had
less natural advantages than this
city but there was more dashing
enterprise there than here
He also said that he knew of no
better place fora lolesale drug
house than here. He is familiar
with that business and Believes
that if the matter is properly
handled such an enterprise can
be brought to this place. There
is only one Who'll sale drug house
in this state and that is located
at Fargo. This line Of merchan-
disc could as we'll be handled
from Devils Lake as from any
Iother point in the state. Here is
q chance to prove the magnetic
powers Of our Commercial Club.

sented by $28, 900, 900, q sum not
to be scoffed at by even our old

oil lands by tie United States

Toll lands by the United States
government, to which reference
has been made in these columns,
has already commenced. This is
| q splendid precautionary measure
IT, no doubt, was suggested by the
near approach to q public calamity
incident to the controversy be-
tween the coal operators and the
miners last year. The President
saw clearly, what every student Of
economics has seen, that the sell
fish struggles between the miners
and their employers might precipi-
tate a coal famine which would do
linestimable damage to the public,
an innocent party to the conflict.
He recognized the right of the
public to be protected against any
such emergency, and with the
courage that is SO excellent a part
of his equipment, he proceeded to
provide against it.
This action involves principle
which should be made prominent
by every teacher Of ethics and
civics in the country. Its based
upon a theory that no two parties
should become involved in a con-
Itention without considering the
effect that the contention will
have upon those outside Of them
selves. Baier and theminers have
no right to fight each other when
manufacture and commerce, and
the very comfort of the whole
people, are involved and threaten
ed. This fundamental principle
has influenced the government to
withdraw the public coal and oil
lands from the market. This
timely act makes quickly possible
the application Of the principle of
government ownership and opera
ton, a principle very dear to a
large per centage Of the American
electorate. It is especially graft
flying to note the general approval
which sustains the government in
this important decision. It signals
the general acceptance of prin-
|ciple and a policy in national adj
ministrative affairs which prohib-
its the possibility of a few inter-
ested parties forcing discomfort
upon those entirely innocent, and
it also makes possible the taking
over of a mighty industry by the
people in the interests Of the
people. President Roosevelt is
applauded for his courage. We
join in the applause. We are en-
couraged in our optimism when
we remember that twenty years
ago, men were obliged, for the
advocacy Of those principles, to
eat the very crust Of the bread Of
carefulness, and to endure the
ostracism of sneering public.
Long live Roosevelt. He is not
dead. &

effect so days after June ~.
Radical changes have been
wrought in the naturalization

oath give his full and correct
name. his age, his occupation, a
personal description of himself,
his date and country of birth,
his former place Of residence be-
fore moving to the United States,
the date of his arrival here, the
the name Of the vessel in which
he arrived, and his residence
here,
The second papers cannot be
secured till two years after the
filing Of the petition for the first
papers, nor less than 80 days
after the filing Of that petition.
The petition must be signed by
the applicant, and it must be
specified under oath that the
applicant can speak the English
language, the full name of the
wife must be given if the appli-
cant is a married man, the coun-
try in which the wife was born

No papers for full citizenship
can be granted for thirty days
preceding any general election,
and the final act in the matter Of
granting citizenship must not be
made till 80 days after the apple
cation for the second naturaliza-
ton papers has been filed. The

are ready to testify to the truth.
Of the application must be in
cluded in the petition. No man
can go outside of the judicial
