The special session Of Congress
began Monday with the hope gen
orally expressed that revision of the
tariff may be accomplished without
undue delay And that is natural,
for no one wants to see the unCer-
tainty about the schedules unnec-
essarily prolonged. But this just
desire should not be permitted to
stand in the way OfsuCh a thorough
and honest reimbursement of the
rates as President Taft in his various
addresses has declared to be i1nper-
atively demanded by the party,s
pledge to the voters. In an effort
to overcome the sCruples of those
members of the party who feel that
public sentiment calls for a COnsid-
cradle reduction in many duties
much is being said about the de-
pressing effect on business of
tariff debate. AS soon as Mr.. Taft
made it clear that, at least so far as
he was concerned, a real tariff
revision was intended, and public
sentiment was seen to be crystal
lizing behind him, it began to be
heard everywhere that the failure
of business to revive was due to
uncertainty regarding the tariff
PROFESSIONALLY tariff uncertainty
IS not without its effect, but other
and graver uncertainties, normal
such conditions as these, are
what are chiefly retarding progress.

Councilman Grieves is to be com
mended for his progressive spirit in
wanting the Town of Smyrna
adopt a better and more permanent
method of street building. Smyrna
has spent and wasted enough money
on its streets in the last 20 years to
have built good portion of perma-
nent road. The plan to brick
Main street is good and we would
like to see it done. Not only Main
street but ali streets. Even the
mecadam-mud covered Commerce
street might be br;cked. Let us
have good streets. 1t is a splendid
advertisement for the town. Presi-
dent Reynolds strikes the keynote
when he says borrow the money
and do it all at one time and let the
future generations bear their share
of the expense. Milford and Sails
bury are adopting this plan and now
Dover is looking up and consider
ing such a proposition. Smyrna
has wasted enough in stone and
oyster shells to show the citizens of
Smyrna what an unsatisfactory
system has been in force. Let us
have paved streets.

NORTH DAKOTA ROADS.

Work will soon begin on the coun-
Try roads. 1t is a regrettable fact that
the good roads measures introduced in
the last legislature failed of enactment.
They contained many meritorious
features.
In this state the natural earth fur
nishes good roadway. There is nc
stone from which macadam can be
constructed and therefore greater at
tention should be given to intelligent
methods of drainage and construction.
There should be uniformity.
Nearly all the measures before the
legislature had some provisions along
these lines. They looked toward uni
formity by making the county-in-
stead of the townsnip-or in some in
stances a mere part Of the township
the unit.
The road overseers, even under the
present law, can accomplish great
good by making an earnest effort to
construct the roads more scientifically
than has been the custom in the past.
Great care should be exercised in
rounding off the roadbed after the
earth has been raised to the center of
grade. The loose soil should be rolled
and packed so the water will run off
into the drains instead of forming a
mush in the loose earth. In many in
stances the roads are actually worse
for months following their construc-
! tion-than if nothing whatever had
Fbeen done.
Great good can be accomplished by
Intelligent drainage and the construc-
tion of culverts at low places to pre-
vent the water from being damned in
the bitches and held along the roadway
to saturate and soften the roadbed-
and to create disease breeding sink
holes.
The county commissioners and ooun-
fky surveyors will be assisted in ali
eases where real difriculties exist. In
most instances the exercise of a small
amount OF horse sense by the over
seers is all that is required.
Don't forget the big roller. 1t is
just as necessary for smoothing and
packing the roadway--as the grader or
ditcher in getting the earth on top OF
the grade.

RAVENS DID NOT COME,
To Feed Old Man Lying Under Tree
Near Zion, .

Chicago, May 14.-Emil Brock of
Zion City discovered that ravens do
not feed the faithful in these degener-
ate days, or at least they are not on
the job when a hurricane is blowing
and the temperature is at the freezing
point.
Brock, who lay four days under a
tree in the suburbs of Zion during
the recent severe storm, is slowing re-
covering and has revised his religious
views somewhat.
Zion is full Of people with queer
ideas, so scant attention was given the
aged man who went about the streets
praying and finally lay down under a
tree.
He had red how the ravens fed
Elijah and he had a vision that he
was due for the same treatment.
The fierce April storm came on, but
Brock was game.
He stuck to the task until he was
er-logged, chilled to the marrow
and on the verge of starvation.

TOASTMASTER MAY q
Theatrical Performances to be Given
by the Fargo High Seniors Prom
ises to be interesting.

The servant is one that puzzles and
perplexes millions of housewives and
housekeepers and ais, one in which
more than the housewife are concern
ed at times, especially when one of
the fair sex secures position and
meets with the approval of the hus-
band. All Of this is very nicely por-
trayed in the Toastmaster, the play
that is to be given by the senior class
OF the Fargo High school at the Fargo
operahouse next Friday. william
Morgan, the friend of the Toastmaster,
in his endeavor to recapture the toast
master, who has been taken to the
home of Professor Reed, attires HIM
self as one Of the fair sex and Sc
cures position at the home of the
professor. The new girl Immediately
meets the favor of the professor and
the result is one OF the most natural
family quarrels ever Witnessed any
where, except In the home
But this is only one of the many In
teresting features of the play. It is
truly college play, but, unlike most
college plays it does not deal with
athletics, 1t takes up the other side
of student life entirely, that OF the
sophomore banquet. Many are the
college graduates who remember the
strife caused by the sophomore ban
quet and their attempts to stop it
while they were in college. This too
is brought out in striking and stirring
incidents such as the capture of the
toastmaster when the freshmen enter
the room of the toastmaster and cap
ture him after a hard fight and the
attempts of the sophomores to regain
him.
The play is under the direction of
Mrs. Jessie Jepson Remington and
each part is being given the most
careful attention. AS the play is en-
tirely made up OF these individual
stunts it promises to excell everything
ever given in the line OF amateur
dramatics in Fargo.

highest terms of praise. Lame back

Fargo operahouse.
May 14-Richard earle.
May 1S-Lillian Russell.
May 21-The Toastmaster.


Richard Carle has big advantage
over the average stage comedian, for
he writes his own musical comedies.
In this way he is able always to keep
building up the character he por-
trays. In Mary's Lamb, the lively
play in which the tall comedian ap-
pears at the Fargo operahouse this
evening, he has the part of Leander
Lamb, a hen -pecked man. The part
ceased adding lines and jokes since
the first performance OF the play was
given in March. Now he is greeted
by an almost continuous laugh while
he is on the stage-and he has cut
out much work for himself.

The use of Gillian Russens name
in the suffragette movement is inter
esting because of it's timeliness. In
fact, however, Miss Russell was a pio-
neer in the woman suffrage movement,
for she was literally born in the faith
Her mother was one of the foremost
advocates Of that privilege years ago
and was close associate and personal
friend of Belva Lockwood under
whose tutelage she STUDIED the move
ment. Miss Russell grew up in her
mothers faith and from her earliest
recollection has favored the right of
suffrage for women. Because of the
recent activities in that line, both in
England and America, there was con-
siderable excitement aroused over the
statement that Miss Russell was an
advocate of it. With the famous
American beauty that is an old topic.
