It was not fair to have stated that
there was any difficulty in the trans
portation arrangements for the inaug-
sural ball, SO far as the trolley line
was concerned. 1t is only just to
Superintendent Slattery and his as
sociates to state that extraordinary
efforts were necessary to keep the
track clear and the car in operation,
but this effort was not spared and
as a result the car ran regularly and
did much toward enabling hundreds
to attend the ball and reach the
capitol promptly. And this leads the
Tribune to observe that Superintend-
ent Slattery takes hold of his work
like a man who has an eye single to
ward the full performance of his duty
to the large number Of people for
whose partial welfare and conven-
fence he is responsible.

1t is likely that Lieutenant Gov
ernor Lewis and Speaker Twichell
will announce their committees at the
opening of the sessions of the two
houses Tuesday. The active work of
the session will begin with the ap-
pointment of the committees, as they,
after all, must do the practical work
Of the session. 1t frequently happens
that there is difference of opinion
with regard to the merits of measures
that may be presented, but when a
fair committee considers a measure
carefully from all points of view and
makes its report, that report has
much weight. It is likely that the
committees of the two houses will
be made up from the standpoint of
the qualifications and inclination of
the members and it will be mistake
if any fractional or other bias enters
into the determination of the commit
tees. A proper regard for political
considerations is justifable, but dis
elimination should not go beyond that
and probably will not. There is an
opportunity in the naming of COM
5mittees for the presiding officers to
do such toward uniting the dominant
party and at the same time to act in
the best interests of the state.

The citizens of Bismarck, as is al
ways the case, acquitted themselves
with credit and dignity in the
inaugural ball of Friday night. It is
the province of the citizens Of any
capital properly to welcome the in
coming administration socially, and
all citizens should unite to that end
without regard to partisanship or per-
sonal feeling. It has come to be a
recognized custom to inaugurate the
social part of a new administration, at
least, with a state ball, and the carry
ing out of that function becomes the
duty. of the citizens of the capital.
The executive committee which had
in charge the function of Friday night
was chosen without regard to
politics and with a view to seeing
that the social obligations of the city
were properly fulfilled. Notwith-
standing the discouraging weather
conditions, a biting wind and a heavy
snow, the ball was a success from
every point of view. The new adj
ministration was given that warmth
Of welcome that has always char
acterized Bismarck upon any oc-
casion of the kind. It goes to show
that the people of the city are equal
to whatever duties are put upon them
and that they take pleasure in con-
tributing their time and energies to
the performance of their duties as
citizens of the Capital City of the
state. at .vs 4
