t is for the general good Of societ!
hat poverty be stamped out.
The solution for the problem of poy
rty is the abolition of the tenemeni
nd the rearing in its stead of th
tome on the land owned by the occi.

ion in schools, more urgent than p,
itical reform, is the incorporation il

No system that attempts the superf

home on the land is at once the cradle
Of the grander race of the future ami
the insurer of our democracy. Not
until we have made such "a home pos.
sible for all men will we have finish

HOME ON THE LAND.

Maxwell Talesman: 1t lies with the
schools to turn the tide of population
towards the land. Through training
in the domestic arts and in the prac-
tical work of the school garden the
interests of the child can be readily
directed into wholesome channels.
Right ideals backed by practical prep
aration for the responsibilities and
the duties OF home making will even
tually stop the drift to the tenement
It is the individual house surround
ed by its garden, intensiveiy titled by
the owners, that makes the true home
for the race. Here the family can Gre
ate attractive and uplifting surround
ings that will furnish the physical
basis for a sound home life. Here the
children can be reared in health and
moral yigor. Here child labor will
be metamorphosed into the inyigorat-
ing usefulness OF doing chores and
learning to help do the wage-saving
tasks of the home Here will be a
haven of rest and recreation for the
worker who comes from his monoton-
Gus task in the mill. Here will be re-
fuge for the aged and sinfirm the in.
dustrial veterans who have for the last
time answered the call of the factory
whistle.
The want and destitution in the
great cities comes from the impossi-
bility there Of the ownership Of the
self-sustaining home The equipment
of the workers for living is too meag-
err The people Of the tenements are
the disinherited of the earth. Were
they intruders from Mars they could
scarce be given d less hearty welcome
or more scanty accommodation. Yet
on their shoulders rests the weight
OF our great manufacturing industries.
The fantastic glitter Of the great eft
les subsists on their destifution.
The miasma of human misery, exist.
| Ing In the depths of destitution, is d
social pest. From the eYn conditions
OF life engendered by poverty springs
much Of the decreptitude, crime and
|depravity that letters social progress.

Only ONE QUESTION.

Senator Hansbrough has received
from H. ]. Schulz of Minot, a member
elect of the legislature, a reply to the
letter sent by the senator to various.
members of the legislature, suggest
ing his claims for consideration when
the senatorial election is held. Mr.;
Schulls letter is long and was evil
IDENTIFY intended for publication. from
the care with which all phases of the
matter are gone into. There are a
good many things in it, dealing with
Senator Hansbrough's public services,
that are not especially germane to the
subject, and that are discussed much
as they might be in political address
by an opponent. But the main point
brought out in the letter, and the
main point in the whole matter OF
the senatorship. is that the republi-
cans Of the state have chosen AR.
Johnson as their candidate by a con.
siderable majority, and that it is me
duty of members OF the legislature
to obey the expressed will Of the peo-
pie. v 5.
We cannot see that the relative
merits or abilities of Senator Hans
brough or Mr. Johnson enter at all
into this matter or that a discussion
OF them can accomplish any good pur-
pose whatever. There may be those
who believe that Senator Hansbrough
could do more for the state If elected
to the senate than Mr.. Johnson
could But this matter has all been
fully presented to the voters and they
have chosen Mr.. Johnson, and mas
much as the people are the. state, NO
claims of superior merit or ability can
be set forth now, on behalf Of the
state The question is merely Wheth-
er the people are to have the candi-
date elected they voted for by a con-
siderable majority at the primaries.

TWO Great orator.

As an orator De mosthenes was head
and shoulders above Cicero the Ro-
man. The great Athenian stands lii a
class all BY himself, IL we are to be-
lieye the consensus Of learned opinion.
Cicero, It Is said, prided himself ON his
faculty OF extempo porizing at need, but
probably trusted little to ii on great
occasions while with Demosthenes 1t
was the rule never to speak without
the most careful preparation. The
speeches Of both were spoken without
manuscript They would never have
made the reputation they did il they
had been tied down to their notes..

Mandan inclines many to favor the
system for this city, but as yet nc
agitation along these. lines has beer
energetically started. In a few weeks
the first year of the experiment at
Mandan will have been completed,
and then the public will be able more
correctly to judge of its efficiency or
improvement over the present ward
system.
Under the plan suggested by the
State Municipal league it has left
optional with cities as to whether
they will adopt the innovation or
not and inasmuch as the agitation
comes from Fargo and Grand Forks,
there seems no good reason why the
lsw shorld not be amended and the
experiment tried by those cities.

eITY sTREET IMPROVEMENT.

, - { AEE Z 4
At the end of a year and a half
the tax payers of the city can begin
to see the benefits which have ac-
crued from the adoption of general
plan by the city council for street
improvement. This plan was sub
mitted by City Engineer Atkinson
at the beginning of the present ad-
ministration and provides for a sys-
tenn of street improvement which
will cover number of years, and
the permanent Improvement of each
street as the work progresses.
This is marked improvement over
the old patchwork, here and there
way of working the streets and when
the plan is fully worked out the
expense of street improvement will
be trifling as compared to what has
gone before. Owing to the pressure
from various points where the needs
were urgent, there has been some
necessary deviation from the general
plan, but as whole the original
scheme has been carried out, so
what streets have been improved will
have permanency unknown be-
fore.
The street Improvement work con-
templates the rebuilding of the up
and down hill streets first, SO as
to provide for the escape OF the water
from from 4. the high ground, and the i'm
provement Of the cross streets later.
In pursuance of the plan culyerts
are being placed under the crossings
OF the side streets and so far as this
is done there will no longer be the
overflow from the cutters and sab
sequent washing away of the street
crown at these cross streets. This
has necessitated a large expenditure
for culvert pipe, and expense which
does not show as the pipe is under
ground. tS u. ~
Many Of the cross streets have
been put in condition as the work
has progressed, new crossings have
placed and the old ones repaired. so
that when the wet weather comes
next spring pedestrians will fully
appreciate the work that has been
done by the engineer and the street
I com mmittee, which has used the city
funds for this purpose with wise
discretion. At times people have
brought a great deal of pressure to
bear on the aldermen in the hope
Of getting work done on the streets
Of their neighborhood before the
engineer has reached that point in
his general plan, but fortunately the
seuncil has stood BY the general
plan and if the people can possess
their souls in patience yet little
longer, the work SO much desired by
them will have been accomplished -
and in eonsonance with the plan
made for the entire city.
Patchwork is poor policy. 1t has
been tried here for number OF years
and found to be a failure and it lis
with great satisfaction the aldermen
accepted the plan of the city engineer
which, when carried out, means that
no city in the state, except those with
paved streets will have better
thoroughfares than Bismarck.
