Yet still he kept his idea forever to
the fore.
he cherished it the more.

greater percentage may be saved,
for manufacturers are anxious to In
troduce their goods and will furnish
these not only cheaper than the dealer
can buy, but cheaper than the whole
saler can buy. Az an illustration Of
this fact, the Esterbrook pen was fur
nished to our city schools last Septem-
Der at Csc per gross laid down. The
dealer would have to pay 49c per
gross and freight, while he would re-
tail these at 10c per dozen, or 81. 20
per gross. Twenty-eight cents per
gross delivered is fully so per cent
cent better than the wholesaler can
gross delivered is fully so per
better than the retail dealer can buy
and over 1926 per cent better than the
purchaser buys now at the retail
store.
In view of these facts we believe
the board of education are in duty
bound to work to the interests of the
multitude as against the interests of a
few; that should this matter be push
ed to successful issue that not only
hundreds but thousands of dollars will
be saved to the patrons of our schools.
Let the good work go on.

HEGPING THE OFFICIALS.

With the melting of the snow dur
ing the next few weeks will come in
creased danger to health from the ac-
cnmulatiOns of disease breeding mat
ter which is thrown upon the ground
curing the winter
The germ theory is now recognized
as correct by the medical profession
and it's understanding by the laymen
would save not only doctor bills, but
health and life.
In this climate the waste and de-
caying matter, especially during the
winter, is practically harmless. The
superabundance of oxygen in the air
and the frozen condition of all liquid
matter prevents decomposition, and it
is this decomposition which develop
disease germs.
The thawing in this season of the
year permits the decomposition to
actively set in, and the germs are
abundantly multiplied.
These germs, unless carried away
by drainage or destroyed by some pro-
cess, spread disease during the warm
months when they are rapidly multi
piled.
They sink into wells and reservoirs,
and later bring on typhus and kindred
diseases.
Much OF the danger could be avoid
ed by removing the germ breeding
matter from the proximity of human
habitation. But if this cannot be
done, surface water coming from such
sources should be turned into the
sewers and not permitted to form
pools and ponds, saturating the soil
and leaving its load of death deposited
in it. A small amount of disinfectants
properly used would destroy enough
disease germs to kill a small army.
These things are necessary in the
city where the condition of one in
dividual's premises may have such
deleterous effect upon the health of
another
Boards of health are good agencies
to enforce these sanitary regulations,
hut for some unexplainable reason the
public looks upon the recommends
tons Of these officers as an interior
ence with their personal liberty, and
seldom follow the directions unless
compelled to do so.
The arousing of a public sentiment
on this question, and an emulation on
the part Of every one to Guido his
neighbor in guarding against the dan
gers indicated is a decided help to
officers charged with the responsible
ity of public health in the discharge
Of their duties.

criterion by which to largely Judge
the public strenuousness of the people.
AN EVIDENCE OF WEALTH.

Almost every day brings the an
nouncement of the return to North
Dakota of people who have spent the
winters at the famous summer resorts
of the country.
These things are an infallible guide
to the prosperity of people.
If the people are poor they cannot
sfford such trips, and the prudent bus
mess man will be certain that his ex-
pense account, including the money
necessary for such trips, is not great
er at least than his income.
Many of the people of this state who
have been spending the winter in Cali
fornia, or Florida, or Cuba, or Europe,
Go SO every year.
They simply lay aside certain por-
ton of the years income for this
pleasure, and instead of becoming
poorer because of these trips, they
are gradually increasing their per-
manent wealth.
1t is thus evident that the man of
average enterprise and intelligence
who spends a few years in North Da-
Eota will be able to realize such an
income that he can use small por-
ton of it in travelling and in visiting
places which to people in other parts
OF the country will forever remain
dreams
Many OF those who go, if not the
majority of them, are farmers and de-
rive their income from the cultivation
of the soil.
These things prove that this coun-
try is capable OF producing the great
est number of people reasonably we'll
fixed financially of any in the world.
Where else is to be found a land
whose farmers can spend the winter
months in the sunny lands of the
south, and enjoy all that princes
might enjoy? Yet that is the condi-
ton Of the people of North Dakota
today,
The fact that they do SO is the very
best proof in the world of the univer-
sal wealth producing power of the
country, for without abundance of
money it would be impossible to en-
Joy such trips as are matters of CON-
mon occurrence with our people.

LET'S TAKE THE BAT.

The Evening Times has worked
both early and late for a season of
baseball in this city.
1t will be to the discredit of the city
as whole, though by no means to
that of the people who have so assid-
nously worked for it, if it fails.
Baseball is the great national sport.
1t is such because it possesses none
of the brutality of the prize ring or
the bull fight, is thoroughly scientific,
is refined and requires a degree of
skill that makes it enhancing.
The danger has been reduced to the
minimum, and the fatalities are now
below those of boating.
The strenuous life led by the aver
age American citizen demands that
there should be some relaxation. The
business speed of today is such that
# there were no respite, both the
body and the mind must fail because
CT the strain.
Organizations for men have been
pushing forward the plan for years,
hut with all their wonderful success.
they have never been able to get any
thing SO near the perfect as a good,
healthy game of baseball.
Here the business man may lay
aside every thought and care of the
counting room or Office and give him
self up wholly to the pleasures of the
game.
1t is not that weak and insipid ex-,
element that nauseates because of
its Stiffness, but the vigorous, ener-
eetic kind that rouses the entire
mind to healthy condition, and
which leaves no reactionary effects
when it is past
1t is place where restraint and
conventionality are thrown aside and
the most sedate and dignified man will
take off his coat and root like Tro-
Jan for his favorites.
1t thus becomes stimulant for
both the body and the mind, and as a
means Of recreation for both old and
young, has no equal.
For these reasons the city should
have a team and retain its place in
the baseball world. It indicates the
,progresaveness Of the city and is

tend to cause unjust dealings. Even
in the kitchen this is SO. A butcher
told me the other day that a young
woman, the cook in a prominent fam
lily hereabouts. came into his shop and
said:
"'Gimme a fine large roast o. beef.
with plenty o. bones
"'Plenty of bones?' said the butcher,
in amazement.
"'Yes.' answered the young woman.
Bones is my perquisite.'"

THE MAYORALTY CONTEST.

AS was announced in it's initial num-
Der The Evening Times is repub-
lican newspaper, and as such is heart
lily in accord with the party princi-
PIES of that political organization, ac-
knowledging no will save that of the
republican electors as expressed in
the primaries or by it's duly accredited
representatives in convention assem-
bled..
Holding, as it does, that political
party organizations are of the utmost
Importance in order that the best re-
suits in. the conduct of governmental
affairs may be assured-whether in
the affairs Of the city, state or nation,
and also that every member of such
organizations owes to the same a
loyal and hearty support-it views
with aversion the vacillating course
adopted by certain soi-disant republic
can party organs, where no other
cause can possibly be assigned for
their traitorous conduct save that of
sordid pecuniary interest
In the approaching municipal cleo
ton the republicans of the city of
Grand Forks have, by their action at
the primary election held yesterday,
unanimously made choice of a COM
plete ticket which is composed of'men
of honesty and ability, men who are
well known to the citizens of Grand
Forks as property owners and tax
payers, who have the best interests of
the city at heart, and against whom,
individually or collectively, nothing of
derogatory nature can be truthfully
alleged.
In selecting the servants of the
municipality past records should count
for much in the judging of their future
Official acts. All that the city has in
the way of public improvements it has
received, in the main, from republican
administrations, while it has little to
boast of in the matter of benefits de-
rived from mixed or democratic rule.
This contention cannot be successfully
controverted as the records in the city
auditors Office conclusively proves.
The claim that man who has made
an indifferently good public servant
for two years is, perforce, clearly en-
titled to second tenure of office is
fallacfous in the EXTREMES senti-
mental rather than businesslike, to
say the very least.
Ex-Mayor Dinnic's official record,
to which frequent reference is made
In his letter of acceptance which ap-
Pears elsewhere in this issue Of The
Evening Times, is an open book, is
one to which. his friends can point
with pride, and comparison Of any
or all of his Administration with that
sof Mayor Duis' is urgently invited.
