sofa points and all travelling men in
that state are much interested in the
move which is being made ! by the
United Commercial Travellers of Min
nesota who will urge legislative action
on several bills aiming TO secur better
facilities at hotels and other accemmU
dations for their benefit.
One of. the bills that they will ad-
vocate is a hotel bill; framed along the
lines Of the one that failed of passage
two years ago. One OF the important
features will be to compel all hotel
keepers to provide adequate and easy
means of fire escape, and to render the
elevator shafts fireproof. They will
also seek TO have hotel inspector ap-
pointed. Three years ago an inspector
was appointed but resigned after one
years service, because the compensa-
tion was not SUFFICIENT to cover his ex-
penses, and no inspector has been ap-
pointed since. u
The bill failed last time because
there was much difference of opinion
as to what department the inspector
should work under. The labor bureau
wants the office, but the travellers be-
lieVe the department of health should
nave charge. 1t is immaterial to the
travellers what department has it, but
they want to see the office adequately
paid, and the inspection work carried
out. Although the bill failed in Min
nesota, 1t was passed by the legisla-
lures OF North and South Dakota.
Washington and Wisconsin, and wi a
come UP for discussion in the Oregon
legislature. The travellers supported
the bill in those states.
While the organization has dis
cussed no other proposed bill some ac-
ton will be taken on the liability of
corporations in case of accidents re-
sulting in death. The amount that can
be recovered by the relatives of those
accidently killed is $4,000. The tray-
elers would like to see the law changed
SO that greater compensation can be
| secured by relatives, based on the
/; earning capacity and station in life OF
the person killed. Another bill that
will come UP is one changing the filing
OF chattel mortgages from the town
clerk to the register of deeds. The
purpose of this is to centralize such
business in the county. seat. Many Of
the clerks are farmers living out In
the country, and a great deal of time
is lost in hunting up the town clerk

lowing committee on legislation: M

20 it in terms such az: Ills pet TO-
cry" The governors idea is central
ization of government with a venS-
ence," mot as hirlings OF the execu-
tive" THE cEar OF North Dakota" Is
treating the subject upon its merits
The fact is certainly true that the
present method is wholly inadequate
perhaps because what is everybody's
business Is nobody's business" and
because II proceedings are started
against delinquent officials 1t must be
done by some local citizen who is
likely not to be versed in law and who
brings upon himself the venomous hate
of the lawless element and often incurs
expense and waste Of time and even
endangers his life.
1t is far from a new idea that execu-
tive power center in the chief office of
state or nation. Several states of the
union have such a law and / doubt IL
there has been. case where that pow
er has been abused or exceeded and
there are many cases where the gov
ernor finding himself wholly RESPONSE
BILE. has used the power put in his
hards to successfully enforce the .aw
Take for instance the case here in
Dickinson The saloons and blind pigs
are running wide open. This could
not well be without the knowledge of
all officials obligated by the law to
enforce It and who take their oath
to do so, but who, IL reports are true,
instead of keeping their oath are aid
ing and abetting the violation of the
statute. The city government, if rum
ors are true and think they openly
admit it, receives license from these
places and thus aid ard abet the vio-
lation of the. law -
We think the executive of the state
is the one who should be empowered
under certain restriction and compelled
to act in this matter do not believe
the governor should have power that
could be used arbitrarily but that he
should be compelled to act when evil
dence was brought to his notice by
starting proceedings and that proceed :
ings should be simplified so that ac-
ton must be speedy and certain We
are heartily in favor of such a law and
wish you might assist in securing the
passage of such,

protected himself against his wild on

tunate habit Of always involuntarily
running up against McCoy's flst. He
didn't seem able to resist the attrac-

When the bout was ended. amid the
applause OF the crowd, McCoy's identi-

smile as he took McCoy's hand, and
said in his French fashion:
"Ah, monsieur, I'm enchanted. You

wiped the blood from his battered face

on Willie Hopes trail. Demarest
does not pretend to believe that ne can
beat Hoppe just now at the 1871 game.
He does think, however, that he could
make 1t mighty interesting for Willie
at 1S.1 or 1872 after a few months
more of practice. Hoppe, while star
at either game, Is at his best at 1871.
Demarest has never gone very far
into the more difficult style, but his
play would lead one to believe that IL
he ever does take 1t up he will be
hard for any one to beat His style
OF play is well adapted to 1871. and his
long runs are always marked by his
