John M. Turner, formerly presi-

association, and we'll known to old
residents of North Dakota, has been
honored by an Endorsement for an
important post in the milling world.
A recent issue of the Chicago Record

John NJ. Turner, Of San Juan, Por'
to Rico, will be recommended by the
National Miller's Federation for ap-
pointment by the department Of COM
MERGE and labor, as the American
representative on -four and -four
products to succeed Mack H. Davis,

Mr.. Turner was selected as the can

the most capable men in that line in
the country. The directors also Sc.

THE COMMISSION SYSTEM.

! The Grand Forks Herald Is discus
sing the commission system of gov
eminent, with a view it says Of seek
ing to determine whether it is an
Improvement over the present sys
tenn of government by mayor and
aldermen. We should say that the
answer to that question depended
largely upon the voters in their Sc
lection of commissioners. No system
of government is automatically good.
There is no system that can do the
work of a we'll organized and right
acting public opinion in the selection
of officers.
A city governed by good mayor
and board of aldermen would be bet
ter governed than a city governed by
a mediocre set of commissioners.
There is nothing in the commission
system to take the place of capabil-
ity in officials.
So we say the question turns large
ly on the men in Office. The commits
sion system as at present in the law
of this state is not perfect law by
any means. 1t was drawn and pass
ed rather hastily and there are
doubtless many improvements that
could be made. 1t has been suggest
ed that the referendum and the re-
call should be enacted into the law,
but we hardly approve those provis-
ions. theoretically good, they might
be made the means of practical evil.
But there are particulars with refer
ence to the present law that could
be amended with wisdom and to the
advantage of the law. We think the
greatest benefits of the commission
system are, first, the treatment Of
the city as unit to be governed, and
not as set of wards, each struggling
for the largest share of appropria-
lions and improvements. Second,
there is the fact that the policies of
the city are directed with respect to
various departments by a head Of
each department. This enables the
citizen with a grievance to reach
what may be the source of it prompt
ly and without indirectfon.
The success of the commission sys-
tenn depends and will depend to a
great success upon the officials by
whom it is administered.

It is Just as we'll to remember at
this time that supplies of coal
through the northwest are Interior
ed with through the switchmen's
strike, and that the weather may in.
tervene to make the transportation
of fuel more difficult. While it Is
possible to get coal, every household
er who has the storage capacity
should see to it that his bins are full.
In that event, If there should come
a time when coal is hard to get, 1t
will make 1t possible to care better
for the needs Of those who may not
have bin capacity or the means where
with to lay in a considerable supply.
We had some experience three years

lesson should teach as wisdom. This
is not written in the interest of the
coal man, but it may be strongly in
the interest of the consumer before
the winter is over.

1.-THE CLIMAX: IS A.
DELIGHTFUL PLAY

OF THE DRAMATIC ART AND

In "rhe Climax" the author, Ed

This fact alone, regardless of the
New York stamp of approval, which
It bears, should make the play Z
most welcome visitor when 1t con1e

of next week.
The iaded theatrical appetite has
long craved for something more pal
atable than the fwronged woman and
the ruined tinancier. 1.-THE Climax
is "a comedy of sentiment and mel
'ody. The idea is new, the construc-
ton is novel, the dialogue brilliant
and the musical back ground lis ex.
quisite. The situations are natural
and the presentation unlaborod.
Surely this combination should
make a most appealing morsel. Mr.
Joseph Weber has produced THE
Climax with the same care and
thought which has made his musical
offerings so successful So much at
tention has been given to minute de-
tails that 1T is said when the curtain
rises, "a stage picture is not shown;
rather the humble home of the strug-
Cling music teacher, in the cheaper
section of New York is in evidence.
The impressions that 1.-THE Climax"
will appeal only to the lovers Of mu-
sic, should not be formed 1t Is the
strong, vivid, impressive play Of mo-
ment. Whether you are musical or
not, 1t cannot fail to have its ef-
feotn. It is a clean, delightful play,
artistically presented
