President Roosevelt has sent to
congress a message calling attention
to what he terms the urgent need Of
legislation affecting different phases
of the public land situation in the
United States. He advocates the con-
servation of coal and other fuel re-
sources on government lands, urges
government control of western public
land pastures with a system Of small
grazing fees and asks an appropria-
ton of half a million dollars to aid in
detecting and preventing land frauds.
He contends for the system Of the
government leasing its mineral lands
and for treating these fuel lands as
public utilities. 1

LIBRARY COMMISSION.

President Frank J. Thompson Of the
North Dakota library association is
sues little brief with regard to the
bill now before the legislature for
the establishment of state library
commission. A number Of states have
already adopted laws providing for
such commission as is proposed for
North Dakota. Thompson thinks the
bill would ''help the library spirit
whether incipient or moribund;
ut would aid the schools to do
more efficient work; - ~.
1T would bring light and interest
into small towns and communities, re-
Heve the tediousness of sequestered
life, and keep the people in touch
with the throb of activity in the great
world about them;
st would furnish the legislator with
the tools to frame bills and mould
legislation;
1T would keep North Dakota
abreast with other progressive states,
and materially assist in its most ,ex-
celIent system of education"

While the matter Of the initiative
and referendum may have received a
temporary defeat on the house yester-
day, it is likely it will be brought up
again with a good chance for favor
able action. The Tribune does not
believe the republican party should
oppose an Initiative and referendum
measure properly restricted to pre-
vent its being cumbersome. 1t seems
to the Tribune it is the proper hand
maid Of the primary election system
It is the tendency of the times to
bring both the nomination of candi-
dates and the making of laws near the
people. The fact that it will be posi-
bic to bring the matter of prohibition
up under an Initiative should not
operate to defeat the measure. Pro-
hibition is not the only matter Of i'm
portance concerning North Dakota.
There are other matters of high i'm
portance to be considered. Indeed, if
the people of the state want another
vote on the matter of resubmission
they should have it, and a decisive
vote in favor Of prohibition, if that
should be the result, would make it
easier to bring about better enforce
ment OF the law. The initiative need
not be looked upon with disfavor be-
cause it is something different from
the present system of legislation. 1t
Affords check upon the action of
legislative bodies. and it enables the
people to propose such legislation as
they may want. 1t has been tried in
some other states and in cities with
good results and the republicans Of
North Dakota can afford to get as
close to the popular viii as this or
any other system Of sensible direct
appeal viii enable them to do. LET
the initiative and referendum he CON.
isldered on its merits Irrespective Of
its application in any isolated
instance. &. Sa5.z

PUBLICITY
LEGISLATURE is URGED TO
u STRENGTHEN THE LAW PRO 4
ViDING FOR THE ss
PUBLICATION OF SCHOOL TREAS
URERs' FINANCIAL
5s1 REPORTS.

While the legislature is considering
the measure-it has passed the house.
to do away with the law providing
for the publication Of annual state
ments of school treasurers, the North
Dakota Magnet argues as follows: 1
4 ANY and every law placed among
our statutes should be enforced when
it is made to safeguard morals, homes
or public finances. We mention this
because we believe in law enforced,
and because many laws are openly vio-
lated. Among these is the law requir-
ing school treasurers to publish an
nual statements of the financial con-
dition of their districts. We do not
know why this violation is made, but
it is made, It is our superstition that
county superintendent have authority
to compel treasurers to make these
publications-if they have, the law is
still violated. If this law is a dead
letter and as far as many districts
are concerned, it is-then repeal 1T
and substitute a law that can and
must be enforced. We suggest two
ways to correct this violation. Pass
a bill authorizing and compelling
county superintendent to act for all
districts, to-; keep separate accounts
for each, and to publish an annual
statement, showing the actual condi-
ton Of the finances Of each district.
He may be authorized to employ a
deputv at some stated salary to be
maid by a .Dro rata from the districts:
or provide for the election Of county
school treasurer and for paying his,
salary and fixing a good and sufficient
bond for the proper performance of
his duty. We suggest this idea to our
representatives and urge them to get
bill covering these grounds before
the legislature. Several districts in
this county would be in better shape
today had such a law been in force
for the past twenty years. The tax
payers of a district are Joint co-part-
ners in the ownership Of district funds
and each one should know Just what is
being done. This is a matter Of com
mon sense business. A law covering
this ground will prevent petty graft
and dishonesty in any shape and it
will prevent mix-ups that often occur
through ignorant bookkeeping.'

SPEAKER TWICHELL
WHAT a SLOPE MEMBER THINKS
OF THE HOUSE AND ITS
PRESIDING OFFICER.

| In his last weekly letter to his pa
per, the Emmons County Record, Rep
resentative Streeter says:
| Notwithstanding the fierceness Of
the struggle over the organization Of
the house, it is doubtful if there was
ever a legislative session in the state
the members of which were on better
terms personally than are the mem
bers of the upper and lower bodies Of
the present legislature. In fact. nearly
everybody was willing to abide by the
great American principle Of majority
rule, and, the organization matter hav-
ing been settled, the members Of ali
sections went to work to legislate for
what they believed to be the best in
terests Of the state. Whatever may
be the differences between mem
bers from various senatorial districts
as to party leadership, there Is no diff
ference between them as to the desire
for the formulation Of statutes that
will best subserve the common inter
ests Of the people who sent them here.
And most Of the members OF the ]
house, regardless of their factional at
iliation, do not deem 1t their duty to !
vote for or against ameasure for the 1
only reason that it is introduce led and
advocated by some one Of the oppos-
ing faction
Much Of the credit for the good
feeling prevailing among members is
due to the speaker, Mr.. Treadwell
Twichell, Of Cass county He is adj
mitted by all factions to have been
fair in his appointment Of committees
and as the presiding officer Of the
house. Cool, good-natured, with
keen sense Of humor, and thoroughly
competent for the position, 1T is not
surprising that he is making many
strong friends among members from
all parts Of the state. In his address
at the time OF first taking the chair he
stated emphaticalIy that he was a re-
publican and nothing but republican.
Being republican. ne sees no good
politically to come to that party by
keeping alive the antagonisms that
have been engendered In the party In
recent years, and he certainly Is doing
his part To heal the bitter factionaI diff

We arrived in Council Bluffs April Z, 1867,
and crossed the river to Omaha in a rickety
old stage coach over the Ice. Twenty pas
sengers were squeezed into the pslatiaI ac-
commodations of the coach and the snow
came up to a level with the windows.
Omaha was then pretty much OF a from

tial buildings. The conference only lasted
one day and the weather was bitter cold.

Reducing Gas BIIIa.

The best way OF reducing gas bills is to
keep the stove clean II not grease and
dust will collect in the burners and clog
up the openings so that the fresh air can
not mnEle freely with the gas, and in this
way the fuel Is wasted, because much Of
the energy is lost from lack OF air.
The flame, instead OF burning blue, is
yellow or red, an indication that much heat
is being lost because there lie not enough
air.
The best method is cleaning burners is
to remove them from the stove, and either
boil in hot water and washing soda, or
wash through hot water with strong laun-
dry soap that will cut the grease from tho
iron and free the opening from any sub
stance that might clog them.
While hot and before they are thoroughly
dry, rub crude oil on them and put back
in place
The burners in the oven may be cleaned
in the same way, II a woman understands
the mechanism enough to take of the
burners properly.
