FAITHFUL TO DUTY.

How shall we estimate the ser
vices of those who never swerve
from the line of duty as the years
roll by? What shall we say,
what need of praise offer to
those who can look back to ser
vice Of half century without
single lapse of duty? Shall we
sit down and consider whether
the position was one that the
world honors, or the simpler,
humber line of work almost un-
known, but very essential?
When Mr.. Austin X. Jones
gave up the position of bell-ring-
err at Harvard after fifty years Of
unbroken service, it recalled to
the memory of many a graduate
the many times he had been SLIM
moned to duty. We had occa-
sion, recently, to recognize the
faithful, the ideal service of one
who never flinched in the call of
DUTY Tor period almost as long
a time. 1t is coming to be recog-
nized as one of the solid at
tributes of the city that those
who help move its machinery are
so faithful for long periods of
time.
Mr.. Jones has been and is an
honored citizen, taking his part
in the civic life of the city.
Quiet, unobtrusive, straightfor
ward, he is able to enjoy the
family he has reared and the COM
petence which his prudence and
economy have made possible.
The rising generation may we'll
take note of his example and may
hope like him to be respected and
honored for what is within the
reach of all-fdelity to duty.

HARD FREEZE DUE.
Rivermen Anticipate Severe Wealth.
er in Present Winter.

The cold weather of Wednesday night
and yesterday is causing the steamboat
men employed on the Potomac river con-
siderable anxiety. They fear that the
river will freeze and possibly close navi-
cation before Christmas. AS yet little
or no ice has made on the Potomac or it's
tributaries, even along the shore. but it
would not require many days of the tent
perature of yesterday and today to cover
the river with a sheet of ice an inch or
two in thickness.
1t is practically the unanimous opinion
of the rivermen that hard freeze is due
this winter. They assert that the river
becomes covered with a heavy sheet of
ice about every four or five years, and as
this has not occurred since 1904, hard
freeze this winter Is due. The rivermen
also say the only thing that has kept ice
from making during the past twenty-four
hours is the fact that there has been a
heavy northwest gale, which has kept the
river rough.

that "inasmuch as Congress is now be-
ing called upon to appropriate the larger
part of the amount estimated to properly
maintain the municipal Fairgrounds for
1910 it is the sense of the officers and
board of directors that this is the oppor-
tune time for the association to seek
official control
The District Commissioners are urged to
recommend to Congress in connection with
the granting of the Fairgrounds appro-
priation the enactment Of legislation pro-
viding for the appointment by the Com
missioners of a playground commission OF
seven persons. the commission to be pro-
vided with executive offices.
Appropriation Recommended. ;.
The District Commissioners have this
YEAR recommended $4,000 for play
grounds. $4,000 TO provide for toilet, stor-
age houses and swimming pools on the
Georgetown and Rosedale Fairgrounds
and $4,000 for supplies, equipment and
maintenance.
Upon invitation from the appropriation
committee, Arthur c. Moses. vice pres
ideat, and James T.. West, secretary, ap-
pea red before the subcommittee and urged
that the amounts covered in their original
estimates to the Commissioners be grant
cd but that ii the committee were I'M
able to allow the amount ased for to
purchase three new sites that money be
provided for the purchase of at least one
site and the renting Of ground for two
additional Fairgrounds.

The decision of the supreme court
with respect to the spotter reward
law is important, as declaring that
The legislature cannot properly make
appropriations for unlimited sums.
That is to say, the legislature cannot
provide certain rewards, emoluments
or payments, and make blanket ap-
preparation to cover. Appropriations
must be made In specific sums. 1t
would be proper for the legislature
"a appropriate $4,000 or so much
thereof as might be necessary for
these spotter rewards but they can
not leave the door open for unlimited
expenditures, under an unlimited APP
preparation clause. For, as the
court says, the taxing authorities
must be able to determine what sums
are necessary for the maintenance
OF the government, and they cannot

Judge Engerud's views with re-
spect to the arrangement of the
names on the primary ballot for the
senatorial choice are interesting, and
set forth clearly the claims of those
who believe there should be only one
place on the ballot in which all
names shall be grouped, the choices
to be made according to the greatest
number of votes received. The Tri-
bune's views on this question have
already been set forth and have not
been substantially changed by the
argument Of Judge Engerud. Never
theless, as we suggested some days
ago, the matter will probably get in
to the supreme court finally, and we
shall have a decision that will govern
the ballot. In the meantime, there Is
no need for worry about the arrange
ment. What the court says will
doubtless be in accordance with the
letter and spirit of the law, and will
control the arrangement of the
names of senatorial candidates.

| Every elevator in the state should
clean every bushel of grain shipped
to terminal markets, thereby saving
the dockage and also for the fact
that dirty grain in a great many cas-
es lowers the grade, one and some
times two grades. AS an illustration
of what can be done by the proper
handling of a country elevator, will
give you a few facts for your earnest
consideration. p
We will take for consideration an
elevator handling 100 cars Of wheat
and flax per season. The value Of
the screenings where the grain is
cleaned and the profit to be gained
by the reason of being properly
cleaned on better grades, would be
about $4,000. This would pay every

operating and maintaining of the ele-
vator. This article applies to the
Grain Growers, of our own great

The Aberdeen News is pleased to
note that President Taft has won a
victory. The announcement is made
in a Washington dispatch to the Chi
cago Evening Post that Speaker Can
non and Senator Aldrich have agreed
to withdraw their opposition to GER
tain laws desired by President Tatt'
and that they will instead give such
laws their cordial support. Among
the measures which are thus practl-
cally assured of passage are the
amendments to the interstate COM
MERGE law, and a law creating a tar
iff commission which will in the fu-
ture deal with that vexed question,
removing it in a measure, from par
tisan politics. The announcement, II
true, means that President Taft has
accomplished something that Pres1-
dent Roosevelt was never able to do
secured the active cooperation and
support of the republican leaders in
the house and senate in the admins
tration program. The efficacy of the

stick may still be in doubt, but IN
this instance, the soft pedal appears

PUBLIC LETTER TO THE

Million and One-Third Dollars Lost

The North Dakota Grain Commits
sioners at Minneapolis send out the
following timely article:
Believing that the Grain Growers
of our state Of North Dakota have no
idea or conception of the amount they
are losing each year on dockage, Will
say we find on close investigation
that the loss each year amounts to
the enormous sum Of 81 300 900 or
So, 500, 900 for the past I'VE years. i
These screenings are worth from
1890 to 5000 per ton at the ter
minal' markets, They are worth ev-.
ery dollar as much where they are
grown, for feed purposes. Do not
forget the fact that you pay the
freight on these screening and deliv-
er them to the terminals-both mills
and elevators bsolutely free Of
charge to them. To move these
screenings to terminals would re-
.quire more than 3 900 cars Of 80 ton

o1rT1OOK IS ENCOURAGING.

OUTLOOK is ENCOURAGING.
Henry Clews weekly financial re-
view says:
As the wear draws to a close there
Is an improved undertone in imam
cial circles. Uneasiness is gradually
disappearing, and a more hopeful
feeling prevails. Congress has been
in session for nearly two weeks, and
thus far there are no indications OF
seriously hostile legislation against
either corporations or railroads.
Presiden Taft is shortly to issue two
messages, one dealing with the rail-
roads and another with large corpor-
atoms. Nothing is yet known con-
corning the presidents views on these
subjects, but his we'll known views,
which have been repeatedly expressed
in the past, afford assurance that no
radical proposals will be offered. 1t
is not likely that the railroads will
object to any reasonable regulation,
nor are the corporations likely to
any longer resist rational appl1ca-
ton of the anti-monopoly law. A
good deal of discussion must be an
ticipated, and more or less radical
talk may be expected, but no disturb
ing legislation seems probable at this
date. The rational action of the
courts, moreover, in recent anti
: trust matters is assuring, and in all
proba bah ility new legislation will in
due time be shaped to more closely
conform5with the action of the courts.
The business outlook is somewhat
unsettled by prospects OF labor agita-
ton. There are signs of unrest, not
only among railroad employees, but
in the steel and several other indus
tries. In many cases the present
high cost of living Is the basis for in
creased demands, but determina-
ton to secure as large returns as
possible is probably an equal motive
for these demands. The general
trend of values of commodities is up
wards, and the necessary process of
adjustment to the higher cost of do
ing business and living is perplexing
and uncomfortable. Food and cloth
ing are now very high, with very
little prospect of declining until the
harvest brings relief, as it probably
will. The present high prices for cot
ton, grain and other products should
induce very large crops during 1910,
The acreage of winter wheat already
shows a large increase, and every
acre capable of growing cotton will
be brought into requisition next
spring. OF corn also the acreage In
1910 is sure to be heavy; and the
meat supply must soon increase.
Farmers both West and South are
now enjoying prosperity to degree
which they never anticipated, and the
effect of this is already being felt in
an excellent demand for all classes
of merchandise. The Christmas trade
thus far surpasses all records, and
the year is ending in satisfactory
degree of industrial and mercantile
activity created by our agricultural
prosperity. The outlook for 1910 is,
therefore, distinctly encouraging
