The Irish Senator.

The late Charles L. Davis in

18O laughs in 1870 minutes. AL
though but a few years have
passed the times have become
more rapid even in the line of
laughter, and today Mr.. Joe

Cabe, and Miss Maize Trum bull,
who comes to the Wash burn
Opera House on Saturday Mar ch
21st. in the new farce comedy,
'The Irish Senator advertises
"One thousand laughs in a hun
dred and fifty minutes. SIN
my new comedy, said Mr..
Spears, "we absolutely do not
give the audience time to stop
laughing. We start them in
with the first rise of the curtain
and the fun keeps coming so
fast and furious that we never
let up on them, excepting be-
tween the acts, until the final
end is reached. I believe that
the theatre-going public want to
laugh. I am in the business to
give them a chance to do so, and
if they ever had the opportunity,
they certainly have it in the play

Meeting of Members of City Govern
ing Departments.
Interesting and Instructive
Discussions. Much Good
Will Result.

A meeting was held Monday
evening at the city clerks Office
which was largely attended not
only by those who are members
of the different departments of
the city government, but by
citizens generally. While the
meeting was called for the pri-
mary purpose of making an in
vestigation of the financial con-
dition of the city with a view to
reducing the cost of maintain
ing the different departments,
yet it resolved itself into a gen
eral discussion of school affairs,
library affairs and city affairs.
Those who spoke or took part in
the discussion repr esented in
the main different departments
and a general understanding was
reached whereby a closer scru-
tiny of all items of expense will
result. We have reached a stage
in the history of the city when
economy is not only advanced as
a theory but as an absolute ne
cessity. Time was when the
schools, the city and the library
could have anything that was
needed, cost was not considered,
and as a result we have a splen-
didly equipped library and excel
lent schools. We now have a
smaller assessment and must do
practically the same work with
less money. While the popula-
ton of the city has materially
decreased during the past two
years, it is a fact that there are
almost as many school pupils
here now as there were a year
ago. Every possible item of ex-
pense has been eliminated with
out decreasing the number of
departments and the school COM
missioners should be given a
great deal of credit. In the city
department the same policy of
strict economy has been in force.
With the practice of economy in
the council, school board and
library there is no reason why
there should be a defcite in
the treasury.

|SES Ninnesota's activity in going after
s I y Standard Oil company because OF
discrimination between sections In the
Me Of oil has a counterpart in North
akota, where similar proceedings
ave been commenced. Here Alfred
a North Star product, and
low secretary of state Of North D "a
Spta, has taken the initiative, and ne
proposes to see who is the control-
ding factor, the law or the OIL octo-
|Epus. Citing a law passed by the last
legislature direct against discrimina-
Etion in the sale Of any product, Sec
rotary Blaisdell has ordered the
to appear before him
June / ct mis- office in Bismarck, and
show cause why its right to do bust
ness in North Dakota should not be
forfeited. 1t is the first instance where
a secretary has exercised the right
given him to call a corporation clarg-
ed with violation of the antl-dl or; crl-
mination laws, and the hearing IS
awaited with considerable interest.
Should he find the company guilty as

charged he may revoke it's charter
without further action. The company,
it is claimed, makes no pretense at
maintaining uniform price for its
products throughout the state, but
rather fixes the price to suit the To-
cality where it operates and where
independent competition may neces-
state cut or a raise as the case may
be. Secretary Blaisdell was former
resident of this state at Fairmont, and
is a graduate Of the University of
Minnesota. He is a rising young at
to,rney, and since his location in
North Dakota his political advance
ment has been rapid. In the Standard
Oil proceeding Secretary Blaisdell is
backed up by the whole power OF the
state and lively fight is expected.
There are many complaints of dis
elimination and Attorney General
McCue who filed the complaint, has
been very active in getting sufficient
evidence which he believes will be
sufficient to bar the company from
the state.-St. Paul Dispatch.

good membership. TIE object of the
association is to work more in har-

financially. In the past the mills
have been discriminating in the in

pendent dealers hope to make them
sit up and take notice.
There are 100 Independent yards in

A POINT WORTH KNOWING

will be impossible to do 50, unless
you vote the straight Democratic
ticket at the primary election. You
could vote the straight Republican
ticket at the primary, and scratch the
ticket in favor of your Democratic
friend, but this would do him abso-
lutely no good as far as his candi-
dacy Is concerned, as Democrat.
He might get five hundred compN-
mentary Republican votes in this
manner. but they would not be count
ed as far as his Democratic candi-
dacy Is concerned. We give this to
you merely in the way OF instruction.

shape today by far than ever before.
Mr.. Warren is well thought Of over
the state as a superintendent. He is
held in such high esteem, that many
OF his admirers over the state desired
that he should become a candidate
for state superintendent Of Public In
ssruction. Mr.. Warren declined, for
he realized that he had mission to
perform in Ward county, and 1t is
generally conceded that If he were to
decline the nomination for any rea.
son at this time. the schools Of Ward
county would be the loser.
