by the annexed extracts from. the
articles written by the Herald cores
pondent that Mr.. Laxdal in most of his
aspersions has addressed the wrong
person; his communication should have
been addressed 10 the Grand Forks
Herald.
Mr. ]. F. Haskett, the correspondent
referred to, visited only two towns,
except he took in Hamilton on his way
to Cavalier. He is an absolute stranger
in this county, presumably unpre.
JUDGED, and wrote only what he was
told at Pembina and Cavalier What
he wrote from the Pemblna standpoint
was practically correct, and we are
willing to corroborate that what he
said were the claims of Cavalier, are
practically the same as we have learned
from other sources.
1t is fact as stated in the Herald,
that the Cavalier committee of which
Mr.. Laxdal is the chairman, has been
trying to manipulate party nominations
and inferentially promised the support,
or loss, of the vote OF the "Icelandic
townships ever since the committee
has been at work.
1t is also fact that they have gotten
into lots of trouble over the same deals,
and have probably made more enemies
than friends in attempting such man
lpulations. 1t is also probably true
from evidence in the hands of the Penn
bina committee that the Cavalier
committee has gone SO far as to provide
the necessary petitions and supplied the
fees for same Of said nominations. The
names on the petitions and the checks
show where they came from on their
faces.
Mr.. Haskett, himself, refers to Mr..
Laxdal as his informant for at least q
large part Of his letter from there, and
does not distinguish any part Of it as
coming from other people.
The trouble with Mr.. Laxdal is that
he does not see himself as others see
him. He attempted the old and common
political trick. Of claiming everything
in sight and then some, forgetting
that such claims implied ownership Of
the voters which he SO carefully
enumerated and located by townships
and political parties. n.
Two propositions ars stated in the
Herald g going together. One, that
the "Icelandic townships are almost to
q man behind the fight that Cavalier
Il making for the county seat
and second that under the leadership
Of Laxdal & Bryniolfson the Icelanders
will serve as q club over county cam
That is what the Herald
man repeats . dozen different times in
different words in his letters, that is the
story told him by Mr.. Laxdal and his
committee" Mr.. Haskett did not
mskei ont Of his own head, but it Isl
the whole tenor Of his view sof the
Iltuation from one end Of the letters tol

Street Lighting as a Measure
of Publ; Safety

y
Before the d. of system
attic street lighting, only those
ventured out at night who had
urgent business or ample body
guard. City streets have be-
come safe just to the extent
that they have been we'll light
ed. 1t is true that light alone
would be insufficient protection,
but it is equally true that pol
ice alone, in any reasonable
numbers, cannot afford COM
plete protection. A single
breach of public order result
ing in robbery or murder would
more than offset the lighting
expense involved. A city in
these days can certainly afford,
and the citizens reasonably ex-
pect, to have the fullest posi-
BILE degree of protection every
hour of the day.
AS A SANITARY MEASURE
1t would doubtless be stretch
ing the argument to claim that
better street lighting would di-
rectly add to the haalthfulness
of the s4raat The power of
~gesFi- IN Influencing &C.
i -, howe ver, is no mere fancy;
there is no denying the fact
that one improvement suggests
another. Asphalt pavement
has produced clean streets, not
merely because it is easier in
itself to clean than o'h!e-
stones, but because of it's much
more elegant appearance; it
shows more strikingly the Of
fenslveness of filth and neglect.
The same reasoning applies
with greater force to the light
ing of a street. Not only will
we'll lighted streets be kept
cleaner, as a matter of mere in
clination, but will be less litter
ed and abused. There is ex-
tremely little wanton destruc-
ton or injury to property of
any kind. Such cases arise
mostly from thoughtlessness
or association, and not only will
good street lighting be an in
centive to keeping the streets
clean and sanitary, but will
further react upon the resi-
dents themselves with a whole
some influence to cleanliness.
AS AN INCENTIVE TO CIVIC PRIDE
1t has been truly said that in
popular government, abuses
are the penalty of neglect on
the part of the governed.
Civic pride is the surest step to-
ward better municipal govern
ment. Anything which adds
to the general attractiveness of
the city excites interest in it's
affairs, and fosters public spirit
and civic pride. Every citizen
should be able to point with
pride" to his own city; but how
shall he do this when he sees
such a woeful deficiency as
