GOOD OLD TIME.

| The Garretson, S. D., News has a
keen remembrance of ''the good old
times" of thirteen years ago, when
the cost of living wasn't high enough
to make anybody worry, but when
nearly everybody was worrying over
the problem of earning enough to
pay the exnense Of the low cost of
living, because wages were low and
farm produce was low and things
were on the down grade. The News
says:
We read and hear so much nova
days about how muC2 higher the ne
cessities of life are than they were
thirteen years ago, and how little
wages have increased in proportion
to the increase in the price of every.
thing one has to buy, that one natur-
ally begins to believe, If he doesn't
stop to think, that the good old times
of thirteen years ago were almost the
millennium for the poor man. The
statistician shows that the price of
the necessities of life have increased
60 per cent while wages have ad.
vanced only 20 per cent in that time.
Therefore the man that is working
for wages is a great zeal worse off
than he was thirteen years ago. But
let us think back and see il that Is
the case. That would take us back
to the days Of Grover Cleveland's
reign-the, time of free soup houses
and Coxey's army, the time when
farmers in the west got IL to Is
cents a bushel for corn and IS to 40
cents for wheat-when the working
man was glad to get dollar day
for his labor and then got work only
about half the time-when the coun-
try was filed with people hunting
for work and begging for a meal.
Yes, those were the good old times
those congressman, orators and writ
ers would like to have again, judg-
ing from what they say. But none
for us, thank you. We. remember
them too we'll.

News reports indicate a through
fast freight line to be built by the
Northern Pacific west from Edgeley,
through LaMoure, Logan, Emmons,
Morton and the counties west Of the
river, joining the main line again
somewhere in Montana. The pres
ence of surveyors along the route Of
the proposed line lends color to these
reports and it may be that the next
year will see substantial progress to-
ward the building or this new line.
This would mean a bridge across the
Missouri river somewhere about the
mouth of the Cannonball, and the
expenditure of vast sum of money,
On the other hand it would tap a
rich section OF the SKATE that is grow.
ing rapidly, and would mean lower
grades and easier hauls for the long
distance coast business. The map
Of North Dakota is changing rapid
iy, with the creation of new coun-
ties, the building of new railroads
and the establishment of new towns,
Up north. in the territory of the 500
and Great Northern lines we may
look for some moves soon ia the
way of railroad construction. It all
indicates the stable and steady
growth of North Dakota.

Court May Divide.
ON THE TRUST CASES
(By Associated Press.J

@A0SOC1dteV 1EeSo.y
Washington, Feb. 16.-The posi-
bility of the supreme court of the
United States being equally divided
on the big trust" suits which it
will have before it for decision this
spring is receiving no little CON-
ment. This speculation is based
largely on the absence of Justice
Moody from the court, on account of
prolonged attack of rheumatism.
Justice Moody was not able to be
present when the court heard the
arguments in the tobacco suit. 1t is
believed hardly likely that he will
feel justified in participating in the
decision Of the tobacco suit, when he
did not hear the arguments. Never
theless, he is understood to have
kept in close touch with the proceed.
ings of the court during his absence,
reading many of the briefs submit
ted to it.
Whether his illness will prevent
his being present when the Standard
Oil case is argued on March IA is
uncertain. Even If present, there is
still another doubt about his partic-
ipating in the decision. AS attorney
general of the United States, he d.
rected institution Of the suit against
the Standard Oil. The petition bears
his name. 1t was fled about a
month before he took his place on
the bench Under a precedent of
the court, Justice Moody would re-.
frain from participation in the con-
sideration of the case by the SUI
preme tribunal of the country.
The effect Of the division of the
court four to four would be to affirm
the decision of the circuit courts.

CITIES AND THE
COMMISSION SYTEM.

and cities which have adopted the
commission form Of government
with the initiative, referendum and
recall, are getting a cot of good ad-
vertising out of their enterprise.
But they have a right to it. Not all
the benefit Of public spirit, public
enterprise and thrift is to be deriv-
ed from boosting the town in bus
mess way, from getting new enter.
prises to locate in it or inducing new
capital to enlarge the old ones. 1t
is just as legitimate for business men
to take an interest in the manage
ment of city affairs and see that it
is honest, economica1 and efficient,
as it is to look after determinations
in freight rates, the opening of new
avenues for enlargement of trade,
and to do a lot of other things
which are often undertaken by COM
mercial clubs, jobbers and manufac-
turers' unions and business associa-
tons Of various kinds. And it will
pay for the use of their time near
ly, if not quite, as we'll.
The latest Of these enterprising
communities to appreciate the value
of an efficient municipal administra-
ton, and to be entitled to the favor
able advertising which public notice
of its success is calculated to bring,
is Cedar Rapids, Iowa. The story Of
Cedar Rapids experience with the
commission plan IS worth reading.
The writer of the letter from Cedar
Rapids says that any suggestion of
the abandonment of thH plan would
raise storm of protest there and be
defeated by an overwhelming ma
jority. If he recites the facts, Of
course it would; and there is no
reason to doubt the accuracy Of his
report. He quotes actual figures
and describes accomplished results.
Any community which had reaped
the benefits of a change in the form
and character of its administration
which have come to Cedar Rapids
would be fool to think Of going
back to the old, cumbersome ward
system, with its spoils scandals, it's
waste, its extravaganza and its CON-
parative failure.
; The city government which James
Bryce, that most intelligent of Eng.
lish students Of our political institu;
tions, condemned as failure and char
acterized as representing the worst
aspect of American political life,
was not of the kind that Cedar Rap
ids has obtained through the adop-
ton of the commission plan. It was
the old.fashioned kind to which so
many cities, St. Paul included, still
adhere But some Of them are
abandoning it for the more business
like commission plan, and none of
them which has done so has ever in.
dicated the slightest feeling of re-
greet. On the contrary, they enjoy
an advantage over their rivals which
they are quite content shall con-
