C0UN7YD|v|S|ONF FOR
SAKE Of THE
DIVISION
Mcintosh Times Has the Right
Idea in Favor of Propos-
ed Division

That Polk county should be d.
vided appears to be practically con-
ceded and is generally favored
throughout the county. The McIn-
tosh Times. in Its issue this week,
says in part: "Fosston is now and
for some time past. been doing some
very effective work beneath the sur
face to carry the proposition, and
from the tone of the various papers
within the county it would seem as
II nearly, If not quite all of them, 9TH
er than the Mcintosh Times, had been
retained to assist.
"1n the past the Mcintosh Times
has always been in favor of division
for divisions sake. 1t believed then
and it believes now that fair d.
vision of the county would be ma
terial benefit to the east end" but is
apparently opposed to having the
county seat at Fosston and complains
that the roustabouts of East Grand
Forks and Crookston, under the pres
.ent law, have as much to say about
the location Of the county seat of the
new county as the people who live
there. If the location of the county
seat were eliminated, there would be
practically solid vote for county d.
vision in the east end. AS 1t is, a
large majority of the people in the
east end realize that If the county is
divided the county seat Of the new
county must be located somewhere and
that very few of the people of the
old county care where such county
seat is located. They want county
division and the Fosston proposition
happens to be the only one up for
consideration. 1t really makes no Sc
rious difference whether the county
seat be first established at Fosston
or Mcintosh for a very complete
method is provided by law for chang
ing the county seat. Revised laws,
1905, provides for a special election
within the new county to determine
whether the county seat shall be
changed and IF fifty-five per cent of
all the votes cast at such election

EAST GRAND FORKS

shall be in favor 81 such change. such
board 1.-THE county board, shall give
two weeks published notice Of the
result in all the newspapers of the
county. Such notice shall state that
from and after a date specified there
in. which shall be not less than sixty
nor more than ninety days after the
election, the place so chosen shall be
the county seat" The procedure is
complete In all its details and leaves
to the voters Of the new county to be
determined where their county seat
shall be located. At that election the
roustabouts Of Crookston and East
Grand Forks" would have nothing to
say. The majority rules and II fifty
five per cent Of the voters of the new
county do not want 1t, the county seat
should not be changed.
The rest Of the county are not in
.terested in the location of the county
seat and are not going to allow any
petty or local jealousies to interfere
with their judgment as to whether the
county should be divided or not. The
county is too big at present and, in
fact. consists of two parts which are
almost entirely separate IN their in
terests, business and associations
and have very little in common. The
east end is as separate and distinct
from the rest of the county as any
two counties in the state and should
be allowed to manage their business
under their own government. The
proposition Is mot whether the coun-
ty seat shall be located at Fosston or
at Mcintosh, but whether the county
shall be divided or no and on that
proposition, as the Mcintosh Times
says. "as we have said before, we are
in favor Of division for divisions
sake" The county seat has to be
located somewhere and If they do
not want 1t at Fosston, let the voters
of the new county change 1t to where
they do want It..

Oh. E. P)
A good salesman is more than likely
to prove a poor collector, or at least
not brilliant success. The two
functions seem to require a different
mental attitude. All statesmen are OPP
timists. They must view everything
in favorable way. The collector is
damper or wet blanket, as it were.
1t is almost universally the case that
there is keen competition for the trade
Of the "slow pay" customer. This is
particularly the case with the man
who Is classed as "slow but good"
The salesman who must collect bill
each trip from him is handicapped by
the thought of making the collection
and the customer is wary Of buying
when he always has the mental vision
of the demand for payment which he
knows is forthcoming. When collec-
tions are made from the home office
by any of the various means used, the
salesman can put himself in much
closer personal touch with the GUS
toner. All this does not mean that a
salesman should never be called on to
make collections or feel imposed on If
he Is. / merely argue that 1t should
not be part of his regular duties and
when it is such part it detracts from
his value as salesman. On the other
hand, every customer, to make the
most of his position, and to conserve
the best interest of his house should
never hesitate moment to report any
information in regard to the financial
condition of a customer to the house,
even If it should be the means of fore
! ing the salesman into the collector
class, If by so doing he has saved the
house from loss on an account.

Ronald Kelly Finds
There's at Leaif One
Honesf Man in Worid

or had an experience this week
which proves To me that there are
still some honest men In the world"
said Ronald Kelly. one OF the Oldest
members OF the Detroit bar. in Justice
Otis court, Thursday afternoon, at the
conclusion of a trial in which he had
secured judgment against a debtor.
in 1885 a man, whose name VIII
not mention, came TO my ONCE with
hard luck story. and wanted me TO
take case for him. The prospects
seemed good, and ] not only took his
case, but loaned him some money, so
that in a short time he was indebted
to me in the sum of 1886, the gerater
part OF which was money advanced.
At the conclusion OF the case the man
disappeared, and | saw nothing OF
him nor received line from him until
three days ago, when he walked into
my Office. He introduced himself, re-
called our business OF % years ago,
and wanted to know what he owed. 1
hunted my old books and soon had
statement ready. He made substan-
tial payment on account, ans gave me
his note for the balance. The action
was entirely voluntary on his part. /
had never pressed him for the amount.
as I had lost track OF him, and did
not know where he was. The debt
was also outlawed, hut he declared
that / was the only man in the world
10 whom he owed a cent, and he was
determined to soon wipe that out"

MONACO IN BREAK
WITH THE
VATICAN
RULER OF LITTLE GAMBLING
Principally WILL NOT CALL
UPON THE POPE DURING VISIT
TO ROME.

PARIS, Feb. AFTER the diplo.
matte split between the vatican and
France. the Pope has stopped to a
rupture with Frances microscopic
neighbor. Monaco, whicG lives by the
Monte Carlo gaming tables.
The prince OF Monaco is TO visit
Rome this month, but he will go to
the royal palace and avoid the vatican,
which will regard this snub as eQuival-
ent to the breaking of OF relations be
tween the principality aud the Pope.
All this Is the outcome OF an awk-
ward incident Some time ago the
prince OF Monaco incurred the papal
displeasure by making public a con-
hdential communication from the Pope
ccndemning the conduct OF ex-Presi-
dent Loubet in going to Rome without
calling at the vatican. Thus. Plus X.
has an old score To wipe off against
the prince OF Monaco.
