Trains Going Wsst.
WON EN- MAY HELP.

The boosters In North Dakota for
good roads might make a ten strike
by enlisting the cooperation Of the
members of the women's clubs. The
dear ladies have so often demonstrate
ed they can deliver the goods-there
can be no argument about the value
OF their support.
Through good roads movement
the ladies would also be able to ad-
vance many OF the movements for
which they stand.
Ignorance and superstition disap-
pear before the good highway.
Churches and schools follow the lines
where the means of transportation are
easy and convenient.
Every district school in North Da-
kota should have a good roads club.
Every church and Sunday school
should participate in an organized and
aggressive fight for better roads. TIE
clergymen, school teachers and Sun
day school workers should cooperate
because the success of the movement
would mean a large attendance at
their services and sessions.
impossible highways condemn farm
ers to social isolation. They hinder
the activity OF lodges, clubs, societies
as well as educational and religious
efforts.
The good roads movement is one
upon which every farmer and business
man can unite. Town and country,
men and women and children are all
interested.
But it is necessary that the women
supplement the efforts of mere men in
the agitation for good roads. Their
assistance will mean ultimate sue
cess.

COMMISSION FORM GRAFT.

Fargo and several other cities in the
state appear to have aced wisely in
their rejection of the commission form
Of government. There are three cities
in the state that have the law-Man-
dan, Bismarck and Minot. Mandan
was the first to adopt it.
Among the things most strongly
urged by the advocates of the commits
sion system--prior to the defeat Of the
plan in Fargo-was that it would en-
tirely eliminate graft. The contention
was made that each man was made
responsible for certain duties-that the
responsibility was so direct-he would
not dare TO be CRATER.
The reports from Mands-~ i~dscate
there ysl.S Fnye been a m-st axe in the
olait Set forth by tho con- mis- ron
l4vocates. Charges are made against
one of the members of the commission
at Mandan. An officer selected by this
commission is also said to have been
guilty Of graft.
or course the fact that two OF the
officials of the city are involved is not
necessarily the fault Of the system.
The event, however, nullihes the
claims Of the rabid shouters for the
plan that the commission system is a
cure-all for every municipal ill-and
a graft and crime eradicator.

Doctor Creegan, the president ,of

INADEQUATE MONEY SYSTEM.

The annual report of Sec. Franklin
MacVeagh, Of the United States treas.
ury department, contains some very
pointed observations Of the monetary
system of this country, They seem to
be strictly without partisan bias, and
the more worthy Of earnest considera-
ton. He says:
Cur system, can fairly be called a
panic breeding system, whereas every
other great national banking and cur
rency system is panic-preventing. AS
long as we continue our present sys-
tenn we are liable to panics, and the
devastations Of panics reach republic
cans and democrats ana all parts Of
the country alike.
Panics are no longer necessary and
no longer respectable. 1t is for the
government to say whether we shall
have panics in the future or not. 1t
Is a mere matter of choice.
The secretary pleads for a non
partisan, non-political readjustment of
the monetary system of the United
states-declaring that its greatest fault
at present is that it possesses nothing
in the way of a reserve feature worthy
the name.
Leaving out Of consideration the old
question of the proper ratio for the
coinage of gold and silver-for that
question is not here concerned, the
present monetary system is admittedly
a patchwork. The pieces were put
together-not with any too great de-
gree of intelligence, nor with view
Of evolving an effective and harmoni-
GUS whole.
Panics, flurries and periods Of I'm
ancial stringency are too frequent.
They may not last long. but their eff
fects-always harmful to business and
industry-are more enduring. IT is
