Devine and the Grand Forks
Times and all other gang pap
ers of the state to the simple
fact that while Mr.. Johnson was
mayor o. Minot, open saloons
and gambling dens fourished
on Main street, while soiled
doves freqoented the hollow
and there was no attempt on
the part of Mr.. johnson to sup.
press these evils We state as
a positive ia t that several
saloons, with complete bar FIX
tures and equipment and gam
bling dens with every conceiv-
able device for fleeing the pub
lie were in daily operation on
the main thoroughfare of the
city, and Mr.. Johnson was we'll
f! aware of the facts. When it
comes to a com oarison of ad.

the change to the commission
form at government,wer clean
er morally than CA. Iohnson's
administration. The open gam
bling dens continued in opera
ton until the beginning Of the
Clark administration when.
they were wiped out.
And here is another fact
which might be recorded in
this connection-the Reporter
and the entire Clark following
supported Mr.. LeSuer for pres
ident of the com mission sys-
tenn, while Mr.. johnson did not
openly support Mr.. LeSuer.
If Mr.. Divine aud the Grand
Forks Times want verified
list of the more prominent sal
oons and gambling dens and
their exact locations at they
existed during the Johnson ad
ministration, the Reporter will
be glad to publish the list, and,
further,we will give the names
of those Who operated the
joints.
Mr.. Johnson's influence in the
commission fight did not
amount to anything, for the
simple reason that he did not
have any influence. The oppo.
sition to Johnson is even
stronger in Mlnot today than it
was two years ago, and he will
lose the city in the coming
election just the came as he
did before.
Why Mr.. Devine and the
gang press of the state should
mention the administration of
Mr.. Johnson. while he was
mayor of Minot, we cannot un
derstand, for from a moral
standpoint Mr.. Johnson's ad-
ministration was as i'm moral as
any the city ever had, and the
fact can be easily proved.
The Reporters opposition to
Mr.. Johnson in this campaign.

SAD DEATH

A very sad death occurred on North
Mill street Tuesday afternoon when
Raymond Anderson, IA seventeen year
old boy, died suddenly rs the result of
All abscess in the head.
The deceased boy, who was the son of
Mrs. Annie Anderson, was taken i'll
about week ago, but was not consider
ed in a serious condition. He was suf-
fering with an abscess in the head,
which broke Tuesday afternoon, caus-
ing almost instant death.
1t proved a dreadful shock to the
family, as, although the boy suffered
"a great deal during the last three days,
such thing as fatal termination
was scarcely dreamed of. Raymond
wouldshave been eighteen years old in
April and was bright and lovable
boy.
Mrs. Anderson, the mother, is the
widow of the late Edward Anderson.
Two brothers-Edward and Harry
and one sister-Viola also survive.

R. R. COMMISSION
MAKES NEW RULE

The State railroad commission,
which has been flooded with compla-
ints by people who set forth grievances
against railroads and then ia led to
prosecute the cases when the commits
sioners invited them to do so in n reg
ular way, has determined to put into
force n new rule which will dismiss
such complaints when the person max
ing them fails to follow up. This rule
will provide that when complaint is
entered and the complainant fails to
make it according to the practice Of
the commission within fifteen days
the matter will be marked off the
docket. The rule will require that
forms and all necessary papers for the
presentation of a complaint in sys-
tematic way be sent to every person
asking it's aid and in addition copies
of the rules of practice will also be
sent. The position is taken by the
commission that many people write to
the commission simply as a means of
easing their minds, while others send
in complaints which are not set forth
clearly or which are so manifestly
trivial that the commission has to send
letters asking for specifications or in
stance. 1t has frequently occurred that
people have ignored these requests for
further information, while number
of cases are known where the com
plainant having written to the COM
mission finds that the raiload company
has remcdied the matter and then lets
the matter drop, the commission not
receiving any further information on
the subject. The new rule will effect
ually stop such procedure, it is believ-
ed. The position taken by the commits
sion in its annual report relative to
the holding of railroad company to a
quoted rate, although it may vary from
a published rate, has attracted much
attention. This stand, which is de-
cidedly different from that of the In
terstate Commerce commission, will
probably result in closer attention to
published tariffs than has been given
lately. The commissioners believe
that their comment upon the present
confusing tariff sheets will bring about
more Ineligible publications.

ON THE HIGH SEA

Richard Miller, son of Charles c..
Miller, this city, seaman on board
of the Torpedo Boat Destroyer U. S.
S. Preston, has written letter home
to his parents describing great speed
record recently made by the boat he
is on.
The letter, which was written at
Charleston, S. c., says: 1--WE left
League Island, Saturday, January Sth
for Newport, r. |. We arrived there
Sunday morning, and on Monday we
left for Charleston. The distance is
nine hundred miles, which we covered

BLOCKING CROSSINGS

The recent arrest of an engineer on
the Pennsylvania railroad for block
ing crossings on the south side has
not sufficed to put stop to the OBJ
jectionable practice.
On Sunday the main crossing at the
steam mill was blocked for fifteen
minutes. The full measure Of incon-
venience to traffic that is entailed at
that point will be appreciated when
it is explained that at such times as
the present when sleighing is good
teams pass over the crossing at the
rate of about one minute. In some
instances engineers and conductors
are considerate and the trains are cut
at the crossing.
The greatest negligence is practiced
at the lower crossing west of the
freight house. A freight train one day
last week, it is stated, was permitted
to block the crossing there for thirty
five minutes 1t frequently happens
that school children are held up at
that crossing and are compelled to
stand in the snow until they freeze
their feet. Now and then boy or
girl weary of the long wait yields to
temptation and crawls through under
the train, taking risks that are fearful
to contemplate.

STATES WAR ON
TUBERCULOSIS

That the State aid extended to tub
erculosis sufferers through the depart
ment of health dispensaries is reach
ing the really needy is evidenced by
careful statistics that Health Commits
sioner Dixon has just compiled. These
statistics which are based upon total
of 8, 1868 patients examined at the dis
pensaries, of whom 6,728 were found
to have tuberculosis during a period
of seventeen months ending December
81, 1908, show that the average family
income in the homes from which these
patients came was $24. SO per month.
The average number of persons in the
family was A. 3S and the average per
capita income was So. 60. "These facts
are particularly gratifying said DR..
Dixon Saturday. "With the thousands
of tuberculosis patients whom we are
asked to help it is quite possible that
occasionally the States charity is i'm
posed upon. We are fully justified,
however, by the tabulated records, in
drawing the conclusion that the really
needy poor among Pennsylvania un-
fortunate victims of tuberculosis are
the ones that are being helped, just as
the law making the appropriation CON
templated - An interesting study of
the possible source of infection can be
made from the dispensary statistics. In
?, 40i cases, there was reason to believe
that the disease was contracted in the
home from another member of the
family. This shows how important is
the work which the visiting nurses of
the dispensaries are doing in teaching
the members of the household how to
guard against being infected by one of
the family who has the disease. In
474 cases the possible source of infec-
ton was a fellow employe. Fully
alive to the danger from this source
the State department of health has
communicated direct with all the
large employers of labor throughout
the State, urging the necessity of fire.

SINGULAR ADVENTURE

The patient was Matthew Lawton,
well known resident of Millville.
He was in very serious condition
and prompt action was necessary.
Dr. Everitt telephoned to the hos

for immediate operation and at once
started for Bloomsbury with the patti

GEESE GO NORTH;
MEANING WHAT?

During Friday evening large flock
OF geese flew northward up the North
Branch. They were flying compare
lively low, as though they were pre-.
pairing to alight for nights roost in
one of the forests north of Williams
port. While it is very unusual for
wild geese to be seen thereabouts at
this season of the year, it was more
strange to see them moving in north
erly direction. 1t is the custom of the
big birds to fly north along the Sus-
quehanna on their way to the lakes in
the spring and their coming there ord
inarily foretells the approach of warm
weather. In the fall they fly south,
and their flight is taken as sure sign
that cold weather or storm is ap-
preaching.
Rivermen and hunters who saw the
geese are puzzled as to what the pre-
sence of the birds in this vicinity por.
tends. They say if the season was
several months later, the birds would
probably be on their way to the lakes
or Hudson bay to spend the summer,
and that a spell of warm weather
might be expected. They cannot be-
lieve that spring like weather is fol
lowing in the wake of the geese that
flew up the North Branch Friday even.

geese have been blown far out of theil
way by wind storm and that they
have been wandering about bewilder.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 10.
Six thousand street car men of the
Philadelphia Rapid Transit company
voted to go on strike at once.
Mayor Reyburn announced today
that he would run the cars with pol
icemen and firemen. He says that the
street car line is for the service of the
public and that therefore the men in
the employ of the public should be
pressed into service to operate.
Lest the employees of the company
should make trouble, the mayor has
also provided six cases of rifles to ov-
crave the strikers and prevent dis
turbance, or to heat them back if they
attempt to stop the cars.
The men voted throughout the night,
holding secret sessions. and did not
finish until four O'Clock this morning.
The men claim the company did not
act in good faith.
