1t is with sorrow we mention the
death Of Miss Hilma Anderson,
which occurred at her home near
Kandiyohi, last Thursday morning,
death being due to infantile para

sudden shock to all who knew her.
She leaves to mourn her loss be-
sides her parents-three brothers,
Harry, Charles, and Elmer, and one
sister, Mrs. C. J. Berg. She has
also many friends in this communi-

miss her. The bereaved ones have

their sorrow. Me Me.

The people of Aberdeen are especial

hope that in the near future, at least

PROSPERITY OF NORTHWEST.


The great increase in banks and
bank deposits in the northwest for
the ten year period from 1898 to 1908
is taken by the Minneapolis journal
as a timely text for an article show
ing the great growth of the north
west in the last decade. The Journal
says:
deposits in the state and national
banks of Minneapolis, North and
South Dakota have reached the rec
ord total of $31O,205,O00, rejecting
therein the greater business activi-
ty of this prosperous part of the
United States. Through a period
when business the country over was
feeling the effects of slowing down
tendency and decreases were fea-
ture, the bank deposits in Minneap-
oils trade territory rose, in a year,
to figures unprecedented. They went
up by $35, O6O, 900 and the former high
record, }275,145, 900, gave way to the
figures 1910, 205 900.
'"The number of state and national
banks, in year, increased from 1,735
to 1878, so rapid was the settling of
new country, so many the new towns
that sprang up, so large the gain OF
population in the majority of older
communities and so evident the need
for new banks to handle the ever
increasing business.
''It is particularly noteworthy that
the year 1908 witnessed this increase;
a year marked in the east by hesita-
ton and retrenchment, that came In
with the financial outlook gloomy,
that brought a Frightening up as the
fall came on, but no material .ad-
vancement until the opening Of 1909.
The northwest, it was said, was pros
+. porous, and many were the COMPARE
sons drawn between the hesitant east
and this more fortunate section,
where successful agriculture and
high-priced farm products were max
ing the farmers rich. It has remain
ed, however, for the figures now first
published to prove it. They speak of
a volume of general business not only
maintained, but increased by more
that 10 per cent. at time when other
parts of the country were sliding

the salary of the mayor, would be.
We do not know whether the COM
plainant in the case made showing
of any Individual cases in which this
promise had an effect. Mr.. Wegley
claims that rich man, who Is a
candidate for Office, would have a
distinct advantage over poor man,
if such promises were to be permitted
because poor man would not be in
position to forego whatever salary
the Office of mayor afforded. In the
majority of cities in North Dakota
the salary of the mayor is merely
nominal, and the promise of its re-
turn to the voters would be so small
a promise as hardly to SAVIOR OF
bribery. In Williston, we believe, a
salary of some size has been voted
for the mayor, and the Office made in
degree profitable instead of solely
honorary position. We do not believe,
however, without venturing an opin-
ion as to the respective merits of the
candidates to this particular suit,
that such a promise would influence
the electorate of city in favor of an
undesirable candidate and against
desirable, even though the undesir-
able candidate were rich enough to
forego the salary of mayor and the
desirable candidate were poor enough
to need the money. At the same time
we do not believe that public officials
should be called upon to perform
public duties for no compensation,
provided the compensation does not
exceed the value of the services per-
formed. If there was question as
to the propriety of such city as
Williston paying a considerable sal
airy to a mayor, possibly it would
have been more tactfu1 for the can
didate who promised to return his
salary to have promised to work for
the passage of an ordinance reducing
the salary to nominal sum, but even
suchoa promise might have been at
tackled on the bribery basis. The de-
cision of the court in this case might
be amplified with great benefit to
the people of the state. 1t might
penalize suitably the candidate for
Office who makes large promises that
he does not expect to and does not
fulflll. 1t might provide punishment
for the candidate who makes de-
liberate, unwarranted and unjust at
tack upon the record of his opponent.
It might specify in just what limits
a candidate is safe when he makes
any promises at all. At any rate, the
Judge who besides this case is tread
ing upon ground that is in a degree
new, and the decision will be await
ed with no little degree of interest.
