VITAL STATISTICS

The last legislature passed string
ent law in relation to vital statistics
and it is believed that under the oper-
alton something more reliable in the
way of statistics will be obtained than
under the present system. In the fol-
lowing summary for February for in
stance Burleigh county is credited
with only Is births and Is deaths a
ridiculous showing because Of incom-
plete reports. Other counties also
show a high death rate frequently
when the rate has been low. Incom-
plete and unreliable statistics are
worse than no data at all The fol
lowing is the summary as furnished
by the state board of health: $

of reform is completed, settle down to
sense of security or cease from
watchfulness altogether. They are
apt to forget that the CRATER never
sleeps. The necessity, therefore, on
the part of the good citizen to be con-
stantly on the alert if he values clean
and efficient government cannot be
too strongly emphasized. Keeping in
touch with the administration of pub
lie business does not take time from
ones private business It strengthens
it, for every form Of activity fares
best when the government under
which activities are carried on is per-
feet. g.s Il.
I'm view of the fact that as citizens
we are responsible for the laws passed
and for their enforcement, no one can
be, nor should anyone ask to be, ex-
cused from giving thought to politics.
He who does not heed the call to
duty is not in the strictest sense a
good citizen, though he be money
maker, scholarly, companionable and
a model in every other respect. He
is not good citizen, because he ig-
.nores that which touches himself and
every other man, every woman, every
child, every day Of life taxes, efficient
service, fidelity to trust
1t may be too much to expect, in
in the light of present experience in
government, but it is not too much to
hope that the day may come in the
life of the American nation when the
office will seek the man as the man
now seeks the Office, and who when
elected shall abor as assiduousIy for
the public veal as does now the
chronic officeholder to entrench him
self in power; when the business of
laws and their faithful execution, and
not the construction Of partisan ma
chine shall be the chief aim; the time
when candidates shall be weighed for
merit, not for pull; when officers
shall be retained for integrity rather
than for craftsmanship; when the boss
and the CRATER shall give way before
intelligent civic action on the part Of
the voter; and when politics in the
broad and exalted sense shall be
studied more and the stock exchange
less.

ANTI RAILROAD LEGISLATION.

Il ANTI RAILROAD LEGISLATION.
A recent issue Of the New York
World contained a number Of press
dispatches setting forth the legislation
enacted or sought to be enacted in the
various states affecting railroads.
These dispatches are from correspon-
dents located at the various state capi-
tails and bring the situation as regards
the progress of anti-railroad legisla-
ton pretty well down to date. It ap-
pears from the information thus col
lated that legislation affecting the rail-
roads llnfavorably has been introduced
in the legislatures of twenty-eight
states; that in nineteen states meas
ures have been passed or are pending,
with a probability of passing, arbitra-,
:ri1y reducing passenger rates, and
that in twenty states reciprocal de-
murrage measures have been passed
or are pending. In addition, number.
of states have conferred extraordinary
powers upon their railroad commits
sions.
1t appears from the detailed reports
that in Arkansas, Indiana, Iowa, Mis-:
souri,, Nebraska and Oklahoma bills
have been passed fixing the maximum
passenger rate at 2 cents per mile; in
Oklahoma with the proviso that the.
rate is not to be confiscatory or below
a proper charge, based upon the cost
OF service. In North Caroline a max
imum passenger rate of III cents per
mile has been fixed for all roads more
than sixty miles in length In Ala
bama, North Dakota and South Da-
kota the maximum passenger rate has
been fixed at 214 cents per mile, in
Kansas at cents per mile, and in Ne
tyada bill is awaiting the governors
signature which fixes the maximum
passenger rate at cents per mile. Re-
auctions of freight rates are directly
provided for in Kansas and Nebraska,
and in a mneu 70 htefb to. z. Nv etaoin
and in number of the states, includ.
ling Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, Kan.
sas, Missouri, Montana, Nevada and
Oregon, railroad commissions have
been given large powers OF control
over such rates. among other matters
In number Of the states, Including
Arkansas, Iowa, North Dakota, Oregon
and Washington, reciprocal demurrage
laws have been enacted, and in a mum
her sof Others similar measures are
i pending. Legislation Of other kinds
1llunfa vorably affecting railroads has
been enacted orais pending in 4 nun
4 Der Of the states.
All this activity directed against tlle
i railroads has not passed without crltt
/ cism or retaliatory action on tIief,
i part. In Colorado the transcontinen
1 tai lines are threatening the curtail
ment OF extension work and service:
in Iowa the railroads threaten to cui

HOW TO OBTAIN GOOD GOVERN
MENT. j5

e. - . r. --Z
Lack of interest in public affairs is
the greatest danger that confronts
this country: and it is indeed encour-
aging to observe an awakening to a
realization of this fact. Until the
good, substantial people in a commun-
itv arouse themselves and take that
interest in public affairs that would
be yrequired to make their own private
business success until we take
greater personal pride in the selection
Of proper men for office-so long will
our public affairs be neglected and
our burdens increase.
A correspondent of the Fargo Forum
from Rugby put it cleverly and en-
phatically when he says:
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1907-03-30

And in the following analyzation
and conclusions every citizen of Bis
marck will observe how apt the local
application: .ss#
s Tt is impossible to have good gov
eminent unless good men are elected
to Office, and good men will never be
elected unless those who are the ex-
ponents of civic purity see to it that
men of business ability and of unques-
toned integrity are placed in nominal
ton and elected. Further, the public
must let it be known that it is watch
full of its interests. Too often the
most intelligent and most wideawake
citizens know but little about the 10
cal laws under which they live and
still less about those by whom the
laws are made, because, as stated
above, private business interests are
placed before public business inter-
ests. Taxes and efficiency Of public
service are afar off in the concern Of
the majority Of rate payers, when in
reality they are matters which con-
Germ everyone vitality. It is this spirit
OF Indifference on the part of the bet
ter element of the body polite that
makes it SO easy for the ward poll
tician and the political aboss" who
have patronage to receive and bestow,
and who must in some manner reim-
4 burse themselves, to control matters.
TO control matters politically is all
they ask for. The rest. lis easy.
TT cannot be denied for moment
that in almost all Of the cities OF this
country men are elected to positions
Z Tor which they are wholly unfit.
Everyone must admit that there
has been a steady growth in the direc-
ton OF cleaner ploitics from the low
B est to the highest Offices, the reform
movement beginning, however, in local
politics. We say a STEADY growth, 7,
because the wave of civic righteous.
ness which is sweeping over the land
Is not an instantaneous matter. It is
not g one-day-old conception any more
than the countless cases OF graft now
being unearthed In every avenue 81
business and Of public life are the
growth Of a. day. The graft spirit
has been growing for years and Il
will be long time before the nation
will be free from it. And Just so ii
will be long time before the voter
Of the United States shall have de.
veloped that sense Of personal duty
and give to the study OF civic affairs
the time and attention 1t deserves
There IS the ever present danger that

existence Of business holdups and to

phase Of graft, viii, before the work

Weeks.

New York, Nov. 20.-The trial of
Raymond Hitchcock. the comedian, on
six indictments growing out of charges
preferred against him of assault or
several young girls probably will be,
gin within two weeks. This announce

Office and the defendants counsel as
a result of which Hitchcock's counsel
withdrew a motion made several days
ago that he be permitted to inspect
the minutes of the grand jury which
reported the indictments. In with
drawing the motion the attorney said
it was done In the interest of an early
trial for the actor. At the same time
Assistant District Attorney Garvan in
formed the court that the district at
torney agreed that the case should not
be delayed and that he believed it
could be brought to trial within ten
days.
The arrest and indictment of Hitch

disappearance and equally mysterious
