A STRAW FOR FOWLER.

5Ta HE selection of three Fowler men in the Lyons Farms district
of Union county as delegates to the Fifth congressional dis
triet Republican nominating convention is a straw to show
how the political winds are blowing in the Fifth district. The
action of the Lyons Farms caucus gives Fowler three votes in the
convention, as the nominees selected will not be opposed in the
primary. 1t is anybodys race as yet in the Fifth district Republican

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Isn't there some agreement in exist
ence whereby the Public Service Cor
poration is supposed to water the road
bed between its tracks in outlying sec
lions Of the city? If there is any such
arrangement it might be well to see
that it is enforced. 1 have in mind
particularly the road from this city to
Elizabeth.
The dust arising from the tracks on
this stretch is almost unbearable, and
the speed at which the cars run does
not help the situation. There are other
sections where the conditions are nearly
as bad, but the Elizabeth route prob
ably carries off the palm for the dust
nuisance.
1t would seem to be to the advantage
Of the trolley company to make these
long trips as inviting and pleasant as
possible, but as it is now one trip over
such a route is enough to discourage
another outing over the same line.

Political

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Sir-George Eliot onc remarked,
Happy the country that has no his
tory" At the present day one might
alter that sentence to politics and not
history. Day after day, week after
week. we read in our daily papers CT
dissensions and disputes in city, state
and country, but particularly the iast'
and see a party that ought to be united
almost rent asunder by political dissen-
sions. The Insurgents nave n cry
and the Stalwarts another. We see a
P~resident6f this great country at ODDS
with an ex-President. who was
means at least of making him what ne
is today. We see a speaker OF n
House. who has ruled for years, fighting
for a continuance of political prestige,
and. indeed, for very political existence.
He did not make the laws, as he Mr..
Cannon remarked not long ago, but
was there in the speakers chair 10
enforce them"
We see politicians of all parties dis
united, and taking sides now with one
party. now with another, like the ceie-
brated Barclay in Scotland during the
English civil war, until one might ex-
claim with James the Fifth of Scotland
to the Earl of Lenox "Oh, Lenox, who
could wish to rule this changeling
crowd?"
The late General Grant said, Let US
have peace" and today n might say
the same. One can only hope
will prevail, and peace and order come
ont of chaos, a reuniting of the clans
and a rest. L. H.

According to a prominent official in
the canal zone. 1915 may be definitely
fixed as the year when the Panama
canal will be completed. Perhaps the
length of time originally estimated as
necessary for the mammoth undertake
ing and the remoteness of the work
combined to deaden interest in it. but
as the great artificial waterway be-
tween the oceans nears completion the
public's interest will rapidly increase.
Already three cities are laying their
plans to secure the exposition which is
to mark the End of the long drill
through the isthmus, and in the end
there will probably be more than one of
these celebrations. The Panama canal
will materially change the mar of the
world, and it is altogether likely that
it will influence strongly its history.
If the police contention in the case
of a well-known Newarker, who was
arrested as a burglar yesterday, that
he has been engaged in systematic
robbery for years, is correct, it would
seem to be easily possible for some
persons to live a lie. A thief who hides
by day and only ventures forth when
he is protected by a mantle of dark
ness, occasionally, through good luck
and cunning, escapes arrest a long time.
But consummate assurance is required
of the man who lives and breathes and
has his being as other men, who mingles
with them freely and is not even sus-
all the time. So much assurance must
he possess. indeed, that he doubtless
finds the situation amusing rather than
tense.

ton of -- in five, ten or fifteen
years" as the case may be, the anna
teur foreeaster rises to say. and he can
always expect a liberal hand. The dash
may stand for more people than the
city will boast in a hundred years. but
it's simply a little exaggeration for the
axe of emphasis and 1t always goes
good. In towns where phenomenal
population jumps have been made the
prophets have a working basis for their
remarks, but they are pot backward
even when the increase has been mere
ly normal.

Coast resorts. most of them, are play
ing to standing room only. The COM
paratively cool weather of a week ago
served to make the hot spell which
followed it seem the more undesirable,
and the business men by the sea, par
%ticularly the landlords. are reaping
their harvest. August is the harvest
month and the hotel proprietor, like
the farmer, must make hay while the
sun shines its 1ercest. There Is also al
ways a feeling as SUMMER wanes that
a long, hard winter must intervene be-
fore it appear again; hence the ten
dency to seize its final moments and
make the most of them. If September
endeavors to equalize the temperature

June the season should be longer than
usual this year.

The moving picture show. in an
amazingly short time has don consid-
cradle revolutionizing in the theatrical
world. The n~ickelodeon and its more
ambitious cousins have become the
peoples theatres. Mr.. Edison's latest
invention. by which the characters in
the pictured drama are made articu-
late, will go far toward giving this
style of entertainment a dominant posi-
ton in the land of make-believe. 1t is
rather unfortunate that Mr.. Edison
was dubbed wizard so long ago, as
it has beer impossible to emphasize
his title, even though his achievements
have grown with the years.
Nathan Straus, the philanthropist,
will be urged to reconsider his an
nounced intention of abandoning his
free ~pasteurized milk depots in New
York city. 1t will be explained TO him
that the criticisms which he declares
have prompted his action are purely
the result of jealousy and business
rivalry. Meantime the New York milk
| committee is to raise a fund of $4,000
for the purpose of determining, through
experiments, whether the continued use
! Of pasteurized milk is or is not benet
fetal for growing babies. Mr.. Strauss
critics have, therefore, prevailed to
quite a considerable extent.

Mayor Lowell presented to the city
council at its special session last night
silk scroll which has been presented

missioners who visited Fargo last year
when making a tour OF the United
States. The beautiful silken banner
Is similar to the one presented by the
commissioners to the Fargo CONNER
cial club recently, and bears an APP
propriate expression of the commits
sioners' appreciation of the hospitality
accorded them in this city. The ban
ner was sent the mayor to be present
ed to the city by the Japanese am
bassador at washington.
1t is felt by many of the aldermen
that the banner should be handsomely
framed and hung in the council cham
Der, which in all probability will be
done in the near future. While the
city council took no action last night
in acknowledging the gift of the Japa-
nese statesmen, a letter OF appreciation
has already been sent the japanese
ambassador by Mayor Lowell asking
that the gentlemen across the Pacific

Ohio cities was especially so, and they
were plants we could not we'll have

not have the time to visit all OF them
In Toledo we were advised to visit the
bigger plants in Columbus and Cincin-

many of the best in the country. But
we had only so much time, and had
to proceed to see the Washington
plant, which is one of the largest in

ASK TO REOPEN
z FARGO HOTELS
MOTION MADE IN FEDERAL
COURT THIS MORNING FOR
PERMISSION TO REOPEN BE-
MlpJI HOUSE AND NORTH STAR
HOTEL BEFORE END OF YEAR,

The case in which petition is
made for the reopening of the Be-
midi house and the North Star hotel
was begun this morning in the United
States court before Judge Amidon.
Both of these hotels were closed
about four months ago and an effort
has been made since by the owners
to obtain permission to re-rent them
to other parties who wish to conduct
first-class hostelries. The case is ex-
pected to be long one and will re-
quire about two days for the hear
ing of the evidence.
When the houses were closed in
July it was the order of the court
that they should remain shut for a
year. The owner soon after had an
opportunity to rent both to other
parties and made a petition in the
district court for the permission to
have them re-opened. Mrs. Louise
Dickson of Grand Forks is the own
err and stated on the stand that she
was ignorant of the purposes for
which the hotels were used.
The real title of the case is B, /

ruptcy, versus Louise Dickson and
