AN AGED INDIAN:
FINDS LIFE SAVER

. Sam Angdo, an aged Spokane In
dian, from Walkers prairie, was In
the city today as witness before
the federal grand jury in the case
of Simon Lowry, charged with muir
dering his brother George. Anglo
is quite feeble and wandered to the
courthouse in place of going to the
federal building. He speaks but
little English and was unable to
make anyone understand his mis-
sion until he encountered Bailiff
Charley Ullman of Judge Web
ster's court.
Ullman Is one of the few white
men in Spokane that can rattle off
the Chinook dialect without
trouble, and by chance he met
Angdo. The old man shook Ullman
by both hands on hearing his ma
tive tongue and seemed to be over
joyed on finding 'the first white
man in 20 years that can speak
the Chinook" Ullman had the In
dian taken to the federal building.

WAITING FOR

Indications are that the policy of

augurated by the present county
commissioners will be fought out
in the county primaries in 1910.
The representatives of the old
regime at the courthouse have
chafed under the restraint in ex.

board of commissioners, and feel
sore over the support given by the
county board to the county graft
Investigation, and retaliation will
be attempted
In the combine to restore the old
order of things at the courthouse is
the assessors office, the coroner,
members of the prosecutors staff
and some of the deputies in the
other offices about the county
building.
The first man at whom these re-
dictionaries will get a whack,

will be County Commissioner j. S.
Phillips. They are sharpening their
knives for Joe, but he has not yet
made up his mind whether the
game is worth the price. He may
not be a candidate, and, again, he
may. This he will definitely deter
mine later.
The reactionaries will have news
paper support in Spokane, and will
no doubt make a strong showing,
but the harder they fight the more
determined will be the farmers and
labor people of the city, who inaug-
urated the cleanup movement, that
the county government shall not
revert back into the old hands.

REpAIRINe soAooL cAILDRgN.

A prominent Rochester physician. Or
Goler-who has been active In public
sanitation, says:
TN the past we have spoken OF clos
ing the sschoolhouse for repairs, but
has not the time now come when we
may say to parents OF children who
are affected with enlarged tonsils, ade-
noids and badly decayed teeth, that
they must have their children repaired
before the children shall be readmitted
TO school?"
Several American cities have already
answered this question In the afirma-
tive-A number OF others have gone
part OF the way by submitting the
school children to partial medical ex-
animation and-in the case OF minor
troubles-by simply advising parents
regarding the attention that the chill
dren need.
Many German cities go further than
to furnish advice-or to threaten the
neglected children with exclusion from
SSAOoAs WhCh p1AAEA arc UNWILLING VI
unable to repair their children, the
work is done by the city for the sake
of public welfare and safely. In some
places there are special municipal
buildings devoted to the school clinics
especially to dental work.
Observations extending over a num-
Der Of years prove conclusively that the
inspection and treatment OF children
are worth while. In addition to the ef-
feet Of proper care Of children upon
the public health in general--it is re-
garded as an important feature Of the
campaign against tuberculosis.
A child with decayed teeth or nasal
growths is well fitted to catch germs
and to grow them. In a crowded school
room such child has a fine opportun-
ity to pass the germs on to other chill
dren.
Says another medical writer:
"Decayed teeth are open and un-
guarded storehouses OF infection. The
teeth present twenty-five inches of
surface, and when they are mere hol-
low shells filed with decaying sub
stance they invite the germs of disease
and provide favorable conditions for
their growth and diffusion"

IMMIGRATION.

The move Of immigrants into
the United States continues on a de-
clining scale, and is qite moderate--all
things considered. Later however,
when prosperity should have set all the
wheels in motion--there will probably
be heavy increase in immigration.
For July, this year, the inward move
ment of immigrants was 66,21S-which,
while 1922 less than in June, was
more than double the restricted aggrey
gate of 27,570 for the period OF 1908.
In 1907 and 1905, however, the arrivals
were considerably greater, having been
97,132 and s4,403 respectively. In the
July inflow Italians predominated but
the proportion of Hebrews and Poles
was comparatively heavy--the three
combined making up close to half OF
the aggregate coming from all direc-
tons. For the seven months Of the
calendar year 1909 the immigrant ar
rivals were 6O0,341--whieh contrasts
with the abnormally low aggregate of
2oo,226 for the corresponding period of
1908 and the record figures Of s41, 0s4
in 1907. These figures include only the
immigrant aliens, or those coming here
for the first time. In addition the ar
rivals each month cover an important
number OF aliens returning from visits
abroad Immigrant aliens they are
officially classed) and they must be
taken into account. These numbered
in July this year i1,T2s, against 1858
in the month last year, and 1854 re-
spectively. Combining the immigrant
and non-immigrant aliens we have a
total inflow Of aliens In July. 1909, OF
1894, against sz13s In 1908, but
against only s7.1sS in 1908, but against
1O75s5 In 1907 with the seven months
aggregate reaching 1904 this year
and comparing with 2ss, $50 in 1907 and
sss,72s two years ago.
The outward movement Of aliens pro-
ceeds along very moderate lines. For
July this year the departures Of steer

LABOR DAY.

This is the day set apart by almost
every state in the union to pay tribute
to educated and trained Drawn. Labor
day is the result Of the accomplish
ments OF the organized workers Of the
nation. They have made the big event
possible through their long and siren
uous efforts--and so successful have
they been that the day is now one Of
the nations greatest holidays.
The day Is not so much in honor OF
mere Drawn and muscle as in the skill
ed and trained brand. The raw worker,
who has little more than his mere brute
strength to offer-gets comparatively
no benefit of todays big doings. 1t is
the worker who has combined brains
with his Drawn and uses intelligence
In the direction Of his efforts-who is
the winner.
Fargo has number of strong labor
organizations. Practically all the lead
ing unions are represented here. The
city il fortunate in having remark
ably intelligent class of union men.
Riots and turbulence are unknown.
Strikes of any nature are most infre-
quent. The men are the kind that pre-
fer TO adjust their differences through
conferences and arguments-rather
than by more radical methods-and the
plan usually succeeds.
Today's parade was an imposing
spectacle. The men in line were heal
thy looking hustlers, clear-eyed and
prosperous looking. The addresses and
other exercises were of fitting nature
and the day was most appropriately
observed.
All Fargo joined in paying tribute to
the workers.

DISCOVERY OF THE POLE.

The Minneapolis Tribune notes that
1t isn't always the big efforts that win.
The discovery OF the north pole is a
result Of a private enterprise-in which
a daring ship surgeon, backed by a race
track gambler, succeeded. The Fri
bune says:
We can hardly wonder that solemn
scientific geographers receive ungra-
ciously the &A@covery OF the north pole
by DIR. CooA.
There is biting irony in this success
Of a ships doctor, casually financed by
a race track gambler. after the failure
of so many great national expeditions
led by men Of high official station and
scientific regulations. The grudging
attitude OF so much Of the Official and
scientific world towards DIR. Cook NAV
be compared to the military profession
towards the rapid elevation of a plain
American army surgeon TO chief COM

There is nothing for good Americans
to sneer at In the character and his

made BY energy and Industry out or the
common American raw material of moor
boyhood and uncuitured early life. But
his reputation as tireless explorer ano
