Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1909-11-21

Meetings have been 1naugurated in
Grand Forks for the purpose of
studying the commission plan Of
governing cities and if upon investi-
cation the leading citizens of that
progressive city believe the plan a
good one it will be adopted. The first
meeting seems to have developed the
fact that at least there is a feeling
that a smaller governing body, pro:
vided it is composed of the right ma
terial, is better than large body and
a greater distribution of responsible
ity. 1t is not likely that the ideal
government for municipalities will
ever be discovered but we believe
that the commission plan is step
in the direction of simplifying gov
eminent and placing responsibility in
such form that the same persons will
render better and more efficient SER
vice and commissioners than as alder
men. A realization of this fact will
do much towards warding off some
of the prejudices against the adop-
ton of the commission system caused
by a feeling that to endorse it is to
admit that a community Is or has
been poorly governed. No commun-
ity is we'll governed but experience is
showing that the commission plan
is an improvement over the old sys-
TEN, even where there has been no
very great cause for complaint with
old conditions.

POLLUTION OF RIVERS.

The subject of the pollution of
streams is one in which the state
board of health has decided to take
an active interest. In the current
publication Of the board the matter
Is treated at length, arguments
against the practice being set forth.
Special attention is given to the stu
alton in the eastern section of the
state, as well as along the Missouri
river district.
The statement by the board of the
matter follows:
"a very excellent department late
ly established at our agricultural col
lege is that of seed laboratory. It's
purpose being to examine samples of
grain submitted to it and to ascertain
whether they would stand the tests
Of termination, purity, freedom from
disease and the presence or absence
of foul weed seed. The farmer is wax
ening up to the fact that great
deal depends on the quality and pur-
ity of the seed sown and that it is
a great waste of energy to keep on
sowing foul seed and then spending
time and money in pulling or in other
ways getting rid of the weeds. Not
only so but the loss in Iessened
yield and in deteriorated product is
a very considerable one.
"This course of our farmer friends
is certainly a very commendable one
and points the way for what might
be accomplished in other fields. For
the principle of what man soWs that
also shall he reap applies with equal
force to a great many of the other
activities of life. In the control Of
our infectious diseases, for instance,
IL we had pure air, pure water, and
pure milk tuberculosis. fever and en-
trio disturbances would be reduced
in minimum and the economic gain
that would acrue from the lessened
death rate would mount up into the
millions. We have at the state uni
versity most efficient public health
laboratory whose duty it is to ex-
anime bodily exeretions, water and
foods as well as pathological tissues.
'1The laboratory is doing great
work for the people along the above
lines but it is capable Of doing a great
deal more If the people would only
avail themselves of its help. We have
at this season OF the year many cases
Of typhoid fever scattered throughout
the state. That every new case is
evidence OF a pre-existing one and
is found in the excretions from a
typhoid patient are principles that
are recognized by every sanitarian in
the country. 1t may be nearly impos-
sibIe to prevent sporadic cases i'm
ported and transported through the
various agencies of infection but the
continued presence Of typhoid fever
in any locality is evidence Of igno-
rance OF negligence on the part of
those whose duty It is to look after
the matter.

luted but it seems negligible to re-
main in ignorance Of the fact when
we have at our very door our boards
of health and our public health Ia
boratory kept up by our health and
warning US of approaching danger.
After ascertaining the fact Of pol
luted water supply it becomes GRIM
inal to allow it to remain so without
our best efforts being made to rem
edy the evil. The public water sup
plies of our state are of such ma
ture that only a limited amount Of
impurities can be introduced into
them with safety. AS our state be-
comes more thickly settled the dan
ger becomes greater and greater. AL
ready we are face to face with the
problem. AS cities are growing the
pure water question is one that
comes right to the front and is one
that is not always easily solved.
thousands upon thousands of dol
lars are now being spent yearly in
installing and operating filter and
publication plants of different de-
signs with the object of capturing and
of getting rid of in various ways the
specific germs that are causing us so
much trouble. This is the old method
of sowing the foul seed and then af-
ter the weeds have matured pulling
or otherwise getting rid of them We
are just learning the better way OF
sowing clean seed and then saving
all the after expense and trouble
which their destruction entails. When
will we learn to apply this practical
lesson to keeping pure and wholse-
some our public water supplies?
Would it not be more rational to
prevent the empying of our untreat-
ed sewerage into our streams and
lakes and thus keeping them free
from contamination than to permit
the pollution of them as at present
and then spending our energies in
trying to purify them again?
"The cities and towns on the Mis-
souri, river have had for many years
an exceptionally pure water supply,
but as the adjacent country is be-
coming more thickly settled and the
discharge into the river of human ex-
cretions permitted, they are begin.

tary law. The vile stuff is subject
ed to purifying processes of vary
ing degrees of efficiency is

1.-THE old question, Am my broth

through the centuries and has been
asked in connection with great
many of the conditions that confront
a people who are striving to ascend
in the scale of civilization, but in no
time in the history of our race has it
been brought home to us with such
force as in the solution of the prob.

commend him to his constituents.
Disclaiming any intention of setting
about the reform of the entire .coun-
try at once, the senator declared his
sympathy with the attitude Of the in
surgents in the senate. That is po.
sition fairly representative of North
Dakota, and one that the senior sem
ator from that state might we'll en-
ulate. The North Dakota delegation
in the senate unfortunately did not
represent the preponderating senti-
ment of the state on the tariff ques-
tion during the recent extra session.
Death has now interviewed, and the
result is a democrat in a republicans
place, and an accession to the ranks
of the insurgents. Senator Thomp-
sons observations on politics and
public life will strike most readers
as sane and thoughtful. The man
ner in which political affairs are con-
Quoted has bred in him distaste for
politics. He means to 60 forward
with the work entrusted to him rath-
er as a business men than a public
man. His promise not to engage in
the vilification of his enemies is bas-
ed on the undoubted truth that Evil
ification poisons the mind of the man
who uses 1t as weapon There Is
wisdom in that saying"

WARNS THE TEACHERS
State Superintendent of Schools
Wants Teachers To Move Slow.
" and Save Disaster
SENDS OUT CIRCULAR LETTER

State Superintendent of Schools
Cary, in circular letter to county SUI
perintendents and teachers, makes the
statement that eve are, as people,
breaking loose from our moral moor
ings in an intellectual sense if not in
a practical way
Referring to this attitude, Supt. Cary
says:
"This is doubtless to an extent in
evitable In view Of the scientific atti-
tude the human mind is now taking on
all sorts of problems. -
The superintendent letter was
drawn forth by series Of articles
which have been printed in an eastern
magazine. Speaking Of them the SUI
perintendent says the EDITORS summary
runs something like this: ''In hundreds
of class rooms it is being taught daily
that the decalogue is no more sacred
than the syllabus, that the home as an
institution is doomed and other
things
II believe,' continued Supt. Cary,
"such teaching is detrimental to the
best interests Of society and that we
are breaking away from our moor
ings.o
The superintendent says it seems evi,
dent today that custom and tradition
and conservatism constitute an abso-
lutely essential balance wheel in So
ciety.
Progress he says, reform, dis
cussion, inquiry, new ideas, and all
that sort of thing are necessary for
progress, but it is sad day Tor socie-
ty when the spirit of inquiry and in
vestigation, too, far outruns the ma
tional conservatism which acts as a
brake to prevent the plunge into chaos
Inquiry, change, Investigation, are in
the air, but sane leaders must see to it
that we move from our mornings slow
ly or the results will be disastrous to
society,"

WOULD HERD TRAMPS
State Board of Control Asked TO
Make q Report on Question
of Handling Migrants
HARD PROBLEM TO SOLVE

Senator Timothy Burke believes that
all of the Migrants in the state should
be gathered together and compelled to
work for their living. AT his behest,
the Legislature has passed resolution
instructing the State Board Of Con-
troll to make an investigation of the
plan and report the findings to the
governor in the annual report Of 1910
"The vagrancy problem is one that
should receive full consideration, y
said Senator Burke. "The great loss
Of life, the spread Of crime and disease,
brought ABOUT by this careless wander
| ing population are but few Of the
many evils.
II think ythe State Board of Control
should investigate the problem of es-
tablishing labor colonies on unimprov-
ed lands within this state. Holland
and Belgium have similar systems in
operation and understand that great
good has resulted. In Holland if a
man is found to be vagrant he is
sent by the court to one of these labor
colonies. Here he has to work, clean
| ing up the brush on farms or draining
| land and the like. IF man is brought
before the court charged with being a
vagrant and he claims that he is not,
then the state will ask him if he is
willing to accept employment. IF he
says he is, he is allowed to sign con
tract and employment is given him at
| pay on one of these labor plantations
This is generally for period of three
months. The regular Migrants are
given their board and clothes for their
work =
Senator Burke claims that the
present system of dealing with va
grancy tends to scatter the evil
throughout the country, rather than
to curb or eliminate the evil. In the
winter the tramps become burden
upon the city population and in the
summer they stroll out in the country
The state of New York will con-
duct an investigation Of the feasibility
of the vagrancy labor colonies this
year and Senator Burke declares the
state has great opportunity to deal
with the problem. By the resolution
passed by the assembly Thursday, after
it has been through the senate, the
Board of Control will thoroughly in
vestigate the problem and the matter
will come before the next session of
the legislature, two years hence, to
determine upon its Inauguration in this
state.

Randall Married at Brides
Home on Tuesday
A PRETTY HOME CEREMONY

The marriage of Mrs. Dell Smith,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. g. NJ Sharpe
and Clifford Ellsworth Randall, judge
of the Municipal Court of Kenosha
county, was celebrated at the home of
the bride ON Exchange street at three

mony was a pretty home wedding and
the twenty-five guests in attendance

dear friends of Judge Randall and his
bride In honor Of the event the
Sharpe home was charmingly decorated
with palms, carnations and roses. The
bride was given away by her father
and was unattended. The Rev. Fred
Ingley, rector of ST. Matthews church,

Smith was attired in a becoming
travelling suit. After the ceremony
was over wedding dinner was served
at which covers were laid for twenty
five.

in the afternoon for short honeymoon
in the south after which they will
make their home at S65 Pomeroy
street. They will be at home to their

ly known in Kenosha and they viii
have the best wishes of a host of
friends both in the city and county.

PRIDE COST HIM DEARLY
A. w. Burnham Didn't Want to Admit
He had no Luck Fishing

A. w. Durham of Chicago. was
fined $25 and costs by Judge Slosson
in the Municipal Court this morning
on charge of catching black bass
out of season and if the story told by
Burnham is to be believed it was his
pride that got him into the position
where he had to settle with the state.
Burnham declared on the witness stand
that he did not catch a fish at Twin
Lakes Sunday but that when the game
warden asked him in regard to his
luck, not desiring him to know that he
had fshed all day without success. he
gave an evasive answer and this caused
his arrest. Durham was strong to
the last in his statement that he did
not catch fish but the court held
against him.
William Smith, another Chicago man
arrested at the same time. pleaded
guilty to the charges against him and
paid fine Of $25 and costs.

LITTLE INSURANCE PAID HERE
Less Than $4,000 in Insurance Bene-
fits Paid. in Kenosha in 1908

The annual report of the amount of
insurance paid by the companies in the
United States was made public today
in statistics issued by the insurance
Press of New York. These statistics
show that Kenosha people are not
good patrons of life insurance com
panies as during the year 1903 the total
amount paid to people IN Kenosha on
insurance policies amounted to less
than $4,000. The exact amount paid
in Kenosha is not given, bnt no poll
cies amounting to more than $4,000
were paid il the city. Milwaukee
lads in Wisconsin in the amount of
insurance paid and Racine was second.
