Healthy Homes.

1t is no many years since we went
to overcrowded London and Glasgow
for examples of the budding of peo-
pie in confined and i'll ventilated quar-
tiers. Now we find most alarming con-
ditions nearer home and notably in
Chicago and New York city. Tens of
thousands of working folks live in ten
ements which are undrained and rot
ten, the breeding places of consump-
ton and other diseases.
Bad as the accommodations are in
the poorer tenements, the tenants pay
nor rem than would be required for
decent living rooms. The trouble is
that the latter are not to be had. New
building laws in the great cities aim
to correct the tenement evil, but they
are so strict as to make alterations
and repairs costly, and owners will not
abate the n%uisances. Some owners
plead poverty, others fight the law and
cause delays, while others still, it is
alleged, bride inspectors to conceal the
truth, and the evil continues. A cam
paign for healthier tenements is need
ed, but it is not likely to be pushed
until an epidemic threatening the whole
land enlists the country people ON the
side of decency and humanity.

COMMUNICATION.

Editor CoUEIEE-DEMoCRAT:-
The condition of the roads through
out the country is likely to be a question
of considerable moment as soon as the
weather commences to become warmer
in the spring, and already people living
at distance from towns are giving the
matter some consideration. Already,
with several weeks of winter still con-
fronting Us, the roads are from three to
six feet above the ground and as soon as
the snow begins to thaw a little they
will lie too dangerous for travel and
almost impossible. What to do to make
them tit for travel when the breakup
comes is a question which ] would like
to see given thorough discussion by
others in the columns of your paper. To
make a new road would be a big job on
account of the great depth of the snow.
Out in this nelghborhood | hear some
advocate plowlng out of the road, then
have e small snow pillow follow and level
out the bottom of the road. This /
think would be a good plan where the
roads follow section lines, but where they
cuts across the country and cross
coulles it would not be at all practical.
The compensation for the men doing
this work is also d matter that would
have to be considered. and a clear
understanding had before tho work is
started. Now is a good time for the
matter to be agitated and discussed.
Township boards should be shown the
necessity that exists for action on their
part to cooperate with the Individual
property owner In putting roads in a
passable condition for travel in the
spring.
Sincerely Yours,

Political "Cleaning Up"

In some quarters there seems n dis
position to account for the general
awakening of the American people
upon great moral i:,iues on the ground
that unexampled re- citations regarding
political methods hive startled society
and produced a feeling that our insti-
tutions are in danger. But when spe-
cifc cases of wrongdoing and their
cure are examined it often transpires
that the revelations followed upon a
cleaning up campaign. Evil methods
had been under surveillance perhaps
for years, and when evasion and con-
cealment We're no longer possible ex-
posure and a fresh outburst of indigna-
ton resulted.
Certainly a movement, if not this
particular movement current, for i'm
proved methods in public affairs has
been going on for many years. For
merly great political principles alb
sorbed public attention to the exclu-
sion and the neglect of details and
methods. The doctrine that "the end
justifies the means" was acted up to if
not openly declared. The great civil
war and the issues growing out of that
titanic struggle put to test the rugged
moral vigor of the people rather than
the finer moral conscience. What
must be was the thought of the hour
from month to month and year to year.
What ought to be had to wait for a
more convenient season. Time has
Brought to the front newer forces, and
there has been a gradual encroach-
ment of conscience in the domain of
expediency. Preachers have been busy
in the press and on the rostrum as
we'll as in the pulpit. There is a broad
er distinction between ''practical poll
tics" and "clean politics." The average
American has braced up and become
courageous where before he was mild
ly scrupulous. Disguised with the
muddy pool which he was taught
had to be endured and discouraged
with vain efforts to disinfect. he has
set to work to wipe out the foul spot
for good and all.

The fact that this paper a couple of
weeks ago undertook to make the
amende honorable to a Langdon citizen
Is apparently responsible for an open
letter which appeared in the last issue of
the Republican over the signature of
Mayor kopriva. The item taken excep-
ton to was published with a view of
righting a wrong done Mr.. j. ". Henry
in a statement made regarding the out
come of his trial. The court record is
what the item referred to was based on
and we still maintain the correctness of
the stand taken. This paper always
holds Itself ready to right q wrong and
make a ~retaction when in error. The
DEMOCRAT would strenuously r~epudiatc
any idea of it desiring to be an obstruc-
zionist to reforms of government, NUM-
cipal or otherwise, and makes it a rule to
give every mar a show for his rights.

the result of an oversight, as shipments

from Minneapolis early in December and
isstill somewhere or the road. The serial
story, general news and political matter
are features that for the present have to
give way to local matter, but will be re-
sumed as soon as possible. The IN

Hawaii and the Chinese,

That it is easy to annex trouble
while picking up a supposedly good
thing is shown in the case of Hawaii
and the labor problem of those once
fruitful islands in the mid-Pacihc. Chi
nese coolies have for years been barred
from the Hawaiian sugar fields, with
the result that the sugar growing in.
dustry, which is the hinge upon which
Hawaii's prosperity swings, is said to
be a thing of the past.
The Hawaiians, we are told by Mr..
Dole, an authority on our new acquisi-
ton, have vainly tried to get along
with Portuguese labor and then with
japanese. The cry is now for Chinese,
and the argument put up by landown-
ers and wage payers is that the prod
uct of the islands is all expended for
the products of American labor. If the
Hawaiian planters can get the kind of
help they need the plantations will
yield millions of dollars every year to
add to Our national wealth.

The letter in another column over the
signature of MIR. Robertson, of Hope town
ship, regarding the present bad condition
of our roads and the prospect of their be-
ing ten times worse when the spring thaw
comes is timely and should awaken the
interest of out of town readers. In the
letter suggestions are made and the in
v~itation extended for others to express
their views. The DEMOCRAT hopes in a
week or so to give space to the views of
others on this matter.

STATE LEGISLATIVE GOSSIP.

y few minutes before Gov. Sarles
time as governor expired, he accepted
the resignation of ,Adiutant General
Creel, and appointed Tommy Poole. 1t
is just such damphool things that is
sickening the state of the Mckenzie
gang.
Alex Mckenzie called Attorney Hill
dreth, of Fargo. a liar. in the lobby of a
Bismarck hotel recently and Hildreth
slapped the face of the North Dakota
boss until it was rosy and beautifully
red. When common folk like Hildreth
goes to slapping the ugly mugs of poll
tlcal bosses, in public places. then in
deed is the power and prestige of the
boss at an end. We want more men
like Hildreth. He ought to be elected
to Congress or to the Senate.
John Mcbride one of the old land
marks of Cavalier county democracy,
who at the county conventions of the
old days used to represent East Alma
township, and ably represented this
legislative district at the constitutional
convention at the time of statehood, is
noted as spending the winter at Bis
marck, mingling with the members of
the third house, During the past two
years Mr.. Mcbride and his family have
been making their home down at Park
River.
The %south-end of the county has been
we'll taken care of in the distribution of
places on the pay roll at Bismarck. John
Mckechnle, me of the faithful in Mont
rose township, got assigned to the berth
of postmaster in the senate chamber and
Finley Mcdonald has the honor of being
door keeper in the lower house. The
members from this end of the county
have taken care of their friends as we'll.
having secured a clerkship for Harry
Weiland and the position of %janitor for
George Fisher, whose activity in politics
is generally in evidence in Harvey
Centre about election time.
Legislative news has been somewhat
slow in coming in since the adjournment
taken over a week ago, but in a paper
that reached US on the mail over
1--we days ago it was considered practic-
ally certain that Frank A. Wilson, the
Pink Paper editor at Bathgate, is slated
for the appointment of state oil inspec-
tor, one of the best official plums in the
gift of Gov. Burke. AS We said relative
this is an item of a couple of weeks ago
there is none more deserving than
Editor Wilson and there is nothing that
is too good or that he has not the ca
pabillty to properly look after. Further
than that if Frank gets the state oil
inspectorship be will assuredly prove a
holy terror to Rockefeller and other
surveyors OF poor grades of Illuminating
oils.
