100 Years Hence
No More Drudgery-Just Live To
Enjoy Yourselves.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox believes in a
hundred years all drudgery will be
done by machinery. We, will fly
through the air on the wings of the
wind and have time to see and enjoy
all the wonders of the world and per-
haps of the heavens which are now
sealed books to the majority because
of the eternal grind of every day life.
Look back 100 years and the changes,
made seem just as great What we
wear how we traved, how we COM
municate, what we eat, sensible clothes,
vehicles speedy and comfortable, WIRE
less telegraphs, telephones, fast trains
and mail steamers, and healthful foods.
Today instead of loading our stomachs
with heavy, greasy breakfasts. that
dull the brain and retard our mornings
work, we eat delicious &c Corn
Flakes or Egg-O-See Wheat Flakes.

Political Machine Abolished.

The city hall is free from politicians
and political influence. The non-parti=
san nomination and non-partisan cleo
ton put the old political machine in
the junk heap, and there have been
no city jobs filled by election debts.
Only competent men hold the places
and numerous discharges have been
made, showing that the incompetents
are released without delay.
! Briefly, in general resume, the
salient features of the Des Moines
plan are:
The individual responsibility of
the commissioners.
The removal of appointments from
the realm of ward politicians and the
J election of appointive officers upon
the basis of efficiency and adaptibil-
| ity.
The referendum of franchise
rights to the people. The city no
longer fears the franchise grabber.
! The opportunity of the people to
get speedy hearing directly with
the man responsible for the conduct
of the affairs of the department they
desire to appeal to.
1t is the successful trial of these
| important factors in municipal af-
| fairs which has caused Brand Whit
lock, mayor of Toledo, Ohio, and a
political reformer of national rep
utation, to say: 1.-The Des MoineS
charter has more real democracy

specifications has been rigid. Instead
of letting contracts for one kind of
material and allowing the substitution
of an inferior grade at a saving, the
commission has refused to accept work
not complying in every detail to the
requirements. Business methods. not
political patronage, have prevailed. On
one job of paving three different lots
of brick were laid before the paving
was finally accepted, because the ma
terial used was not what was called
for by the specification.
Particularly successful have been the
dealings of the new administration with
public service utilities. Without litiga-
ton the city lowered the electric rates
for street lamps from $50 10 SIS a
year, and few months later from SIS
to SOS under an all-night schedule, in
stead of a moonlight schedule.
But for an injunction secured by the
Des Moines Water company, the rates
of water would have been reduced from
so cents to 20 cents per 1000 gallons.
land it is believed by the commissioners
that the litigation which resulted will
bring about cheaper rates.
Gas Rates Lowered.
Gas rates, which were arbitrarily
raised by former city council from
$17 to $22 a year. have been dropped
back to the old rates. The Welsbach
Street Lighting company has protested
and refused tenders on the rate estab-
lished by the city. Until settlement
is reached through the courts the city
has use of all the money involved,
amounting to several thousand dol
lars.
Steps have been taken toward the
establishment of the Chicago profit
sharing plan for the settlement of all
litigation between the city and the
street railway company. by which the
city will have an interest in the lat
! ter'S business.
The most widely advertised accom-
| plishment of the many reforms was
| the wiping out of the red light dis
trict." Deplorable conditions and the
discovery of white slave traffic, which
resulted from a crusade by Commits
sioner John l.. Hamery, head of the
department of public safety. were di-
rectly responsible for an order notify
ing keepers of immoral houses that
after Sept Is their business must
cease. All were summarily closed,
and the order was the death knell, be-
cause vigilant police service and nu-
merous raids have reduced the social
evil to a minimum. The running of
houses of ill-fame is practically inn
possible.
| After haggling for more than 20
years for viaduct on one of the prin-
cipal streets, the new administration
has brought about the long-hoped-for
| improvement, and that without litiga-
ton or appeal to the state railway

son IN two rounds. BY this time they
were all UP and looking at Powell and
he was right in line for better things.
However, the best victory he ever
added to his string was the one last
Friday night. when he fiattened John
ny Frayne in eight rounds. Frayne
was looked upon by many as Powelrs
master and he even got more money
by losing than Powell did BY winning,
Nobody figured Powell to finish the
clever Californian inside ten rounds,
yet he did 1t and in very clever way.
Most Of them think that Franye will
lingiy quit, but still 1t must not be
forgotten that Powell made a show OF
him from the outset.
Wolgast gained all OF his fame by
getting one OF those 'ten round" de :
cisions over Battling Nelson in Los
Angeles last July. Up to- that time
the little German from Milwaukee was
not looked upon as a serious contender
in the. ranks Of the Iightweights, but
like many another he Ieaped into fame
In one night and has held his place
ever since
II goes without saying that the win
ner Of the Powell Wolgast mill win be
pitted against Nelson for the light
weight championship Of. the world.
They are about the only ones left as
all the eastern experts Willingly admit
that Packey Mcfarland is no longer
a lightweight, but member OF the
welterweight division and will soon
be claEsed as q weller.

SOME TRUrH TO THIS

Minneapolis Journal: Wisconsin,
was amazed and filled with conster-
nation over the action Of the Mime
sofa substitutes" The close follow
ers OF the badgers were surprised to
see men like Erharl, Ostrand, Schaiu,
Fayaere, Atkinson, Holen and others
jump into the play and tear things up
the way they did. They've got a
team Of substitutes that could lick
anything in the west" was the sur
prfsed exclamation Of one badger fol-
lower Saturday highland he was
very close to the truth.
The gopher team means more
than usual this year. 1t is not a first
team" and list Of Substitutes" as is
usually the case; but it must be con-
sidered as a whole. The men who start
the game are those who have shown
slight superiority over the fellow on
the side lines, but such a slight margin
as to cause no fear in the hearts OF
the rooters when an exchange is made.
1t Is hardly fair to call the last men in
substitutes" as that word has come
to carry the meaning of inferiority
and the shade is nyst sufficiently pro-
nounced to permit its free use.
The gophers could put two full
teams into the field, and either one of
them would give Chicago, wisconsin
or Nebraska the stiffest sort of an
argument, and could probably win.
There are enough men for a third
team that could lick anything on the
schedule UP to possibly Chicago. It
has been great year for material at
the university and, given the men,
the coach has produced a winner. This
condition Of affairs has attracted gem
eral attention throughout the country.
The gophers are meeting with unusual
praise, and they deserve it. They
are getting it pretty generally, save
in case or TWO in Chicago, where the
animus Of the hair-splitting is so APP
parent as to nullify the half-hearted
"damning by fainter praise"

San Francisco. Nov. 1s.--Lee Powell
and AID Woigast are rounding ints
form for their bout before the Mis-
sion club Nov. %. The winner Of this
battle win be In line to challenge Nell
son for the crown.
Powell is looked upon as the best
lightweight that San Francisco has
produced since the days OF Jimmy Britt.
The rise Of the auburn haired lad was
slow. but none the less sure He plug
ged along here in the lower ranks for
a good many years, beating all his OPP
ponents. but only on points He SEEM
ed to lack that dash and spirit that
goes with the makeup OF the cham
pions, and for this reason he was not
much sought after by the promoters
who were in the habit of flirting with
stars.
However. Powell got off to good
start a few months ago by pounding
Erne Of Philadelphia all over the ring
for twenty rounds. The very next
month he came back and knocked the
reputed tough Chick Hudson out in
five rounds. A rev weeks later he went
across the bax and finished Kid Harri.

SERVIANS BUYING
MANY N. D. FARMS
NEW RACE Is OBTAINING STRONG
HOLD IN sTuTsMAN
COUNTY.

Jamestown, NJ. D., Nov. 1s.-By the
purchase of nearly a dozen farms in
the county during the last month by
Servians. Is marked the advent Of a
new race into the state.
From fifteen TO twenty families have
arrived already, one OF the first farms
purchased being that belonging to
Louis Schi1Ioter. The price paid was
$4,000. all OF which was in gold
Everything on the farm was included
in the purchase--horses, COWS, farm
machinery, and furniture. One of the
conditions OF the sale was immediate
possession, the former owners being
required almost literally to walk off
the place"
Since then other farms have been
bought In each case the price has in
cluded everything, and the new own
ers took immediate possession.
The newcomers belong to the Asiatic
race, and are said to be part OF a
large colony near st. Louis. They APP
pear to be industrious, are hard work
ers and have plenty of money, ap-
parently, as in each case, practically
the entire purchase price was paid in
cash
The greater number OF the farms
purchased so far, lie between James,
town and Spiritwood, and all of them
are the best In the vicinity.

sity football team and substitutes today
held their final practice for SATURDAYS
game with Harvard. This consisted of
a half hours signal drill. There was
no scrimmage. The question as TO who

tied today. Savage will start the game
and will give way to Coy when the
team is on the defensive. The varsity
and first substitutes will leave for Au-
burndale this afternoon. The other
substitutes will go to Cambridge Satur-

left tackle; Andrus, left guard; Cooney,
center; Gebel right guard; LiIley, right
tackle; Savage, right end; Howe, quar-
terback; Philbin, left half back; MUIR

ALICE "FREEzE-OUT"
Minot Paper Says That Comparative
Scores are Worthless in DeeId-
ing Championship.

Minot Optic: Word has been re
ceived by the manager of the Minot
nigh school team that Enderlin will he
here on Saturday to meet the local
team on the gridiron for championshin
honors, weather permitting.
Fargo defeated Grand Forks Satur
DAY to the tune OF II to 0, throwing
Grand Forks out of the running
The argument advanced by the Far
go team that because Mlnot only suc-
ceeded in tieing Grand Forks that
{ they, too, must relinquish all homes az
the state championship, is REGARDED
( in the nature OF a joke by the snorts-
men who know anything of cham
pionship settlements. Comparativa
scores are worthless in deciding a
championship and unless a team has
been defeated they cannot be cIassed
as out of the running.
Had Fargo attempted to arbitrate
in some manner and acted with the
common courtesy that the situation
demanded they would not be omen 40
any criticism, but their high-handed
attempt to play freeze-out with the
western team is the subject of adj
verse comment all over the state.
The winner of the game on Satur-
day will Immediately challenge Far
go once more to a game on Thanks
giving day, which, il refused, will eli
inmate them.
Minot played az Fargo last year
and was promised a return game this
year instead OF which Fargo signed
for two games with Grand Forks and
refused both Enderlin and Minot
games this season.
That Fargo's actions will be
brought UP at the meeting of the ath-
letic committee in December is be-
yond question of doubt and it is
believed that they will be severely
reprimanded for their conduct and
more especially for the ungrammatical
piece of insolence that was returned
to Superintendent Wolfe in answer to
his challenge.
The Minot team Is composed of fair
minded gentlemen and they have yet
to be guilty OF unsportsmenlike con-
duct.

only seventeen years old. In his last
fight he knocked fighter named Nc
Cabe cold and used the regulation
Fitzimmons shift"
He is not likely to be seen in the

New jamestown Brick plant.

jamestown, n. D., Nov. 1s.-The
qualities Of jamestown clay will be
tested out this winter by Contractor
Schelde, who is preparing to erect
sheds for the purpose north of the
city.
Mr.. Schelde believes that the clay
will make first class facing brick and
* this is the case the manufacture of
hollow brick will be started. In case
his experiments are successful, the
hauling cost to the station can be saw
ed by floating the brick down the
river, and loading 1t directly onto flat
cars at the bridge by means OF an
endless belt.

Valley City Patriot: There is talk
of Andy Miller becoming a candidate
for congress-and 1t is said that he
has already expressed his intention to
run. In case he does some one win
be wanted for attorney general. The
Patriot believes that a most suitable
person for that place is the present
Asst. Atty. Gen. Alfred Zuger. Mr..
Zuger has made good"-frst as
states attorney for Barnes county,
and now in his present position he is
honestly and consistently performing
the duties pertaining to his office. Mr..
zuger, we believe, has no particular
fractional alliance, simply a republi-
can, and ought to be acceptable to re-
publicans, regardless Of factional afti-
liations.
