THE MILITARY BAND.

The concert given by the Grand
Forks Military band Yesterday after
noon not only stamped that organiza.
ton with the approval of critical
public, but also indicated that in the
leading city of the state, it is impera-
tive that the organization be enthusi-
astically and substantially supported.
A band is not only good advertise
ment for city but it is a sort of ne
cessity. No city with any pretensions
can afford to send to some other place
for band whenever there is any
occasion for the appearance of one
in public. To do so is to acknowledge
the sender's inferiority and lack of
public spirit.
The citizens have given splendid
financial support to the band during
the last year. and the director and
members have more than measured
up to the demands of the public both
in the quality and quantity of music
furnished. The band has in every
way been a credit to the city. The
last portion of the public subscription
which is now due, If paid promptly,
will put the band on easy street and
clear the way for bigger and better
things next year. The band deserves
it and the public is too loyal to the
organization to withhold it.

from which they came was reliable
and they were used. And the morning
paper had a convulsion. ''.
The Times summed up the arguments
which have been adduced against the
commission plan and said If the voter
believed them it was his duty to vote
against the commission plan. In the
next paragraph 1t summed up the
arguments which have been advanced
in favor of the plan aud stated that
If the voter believed in them it was
his duty to vote for the commission
plan. 1t stated that it was the duty
of every citizen to vote so that the
expression would be the will of the
whole city. And the morning paper
had CONFUSION.
The Times inferred that the salary
of the commission would be $1,000
each annually making tax burden of
$4,000 for the five as against 5000
under the present plan. The carl.
arguments of the advocates of the
plan were that the city should elect
big men who would devote all their
time to the city's affairs and that this
advantage would more than Justify the
cost. Having the power to fix their
own salaries was found to be a seri-
GUS objection and to deceive the pub
lie. the senatorially reliable paper
stated that the commissioners did
not have this right and that they
could only draw 81 per meeting-s24
a year. The city would have the
council reduced to five members, or
have the municipal affairs administer
ed by men who are worth $24 . year.
And the morning paper had con-
vulsion.
If these things wrought such havoc
what would have happened had the
Times referred to ancient history and
then quoted the law which allows the
commission to name city official
paper without asking for bids on the
of the official proceedings.
AS newspaper the Times does not
care which way the election goes. 1t
has not falsified its news columns to
make the matter favorable to one
side or the other. It refused all the
matter offered because it was all one
sided and biased When it discussed
the matter it did so to give informa-
ton and not to bias judgment.

IT MADE THEM SICK.

If the Times had known that its
fair play and square deal to the pub
lie IN the discussion of the commits
sion plan would have caused such
commissions and retchings in our
morning contemporary as they did, it
might have refrained out of pity. But
We lid not know that the injection of
small quantity of truth and justice
would have such reaction. Indeed
the writings of the victim were as
heartrending as was the sickening
thud which ended the awful fall OF
that journal when its inflated self
importance was punctured in the ap-
pointment Of Senator Purcell, over
which the heartless public is still
laughing.
And all this rending Of hair and
ghost dancing because, forsooth, the
Times allowed a citizen who knows
more Of city government in day than
that morning paper has learned in all
its magazine reading. who is prac-
tical and not visionary, common-sens-
ed and not full of dreams, and who is
among the substantial tax payers of
the city. to express in its columns his
objections to the proposed commission
plan. The correspondent is not a
political crony Of the Times. He has
not agreed with the Times on scores
Of public questions. But he had ideas
chat were worthy of consideration by
the voters and he was given an OPP
portunity to reach them. And the
morning paper had CONFUSION.
But that was not all the diabolical
things the Times did. 1t printed in
its news columns the statement that
meeting of those opposed to
the commission plan had been
called for last Saturday night.
commission plan on Saturday night.
Later 1t printed the announcement
that this meeting was postponed until
Monday night. The gentleman who
gave the Times the first information
and who also gave us the information
about the postponement has never. in
all probability, supported a candidate
for public Office who was supported by
the Times nor advocated measure
which the Times advocated. So that
favoritism played no part. The Times
is engaged in furnishing the peopie
of the city reliable information.

DALIA LAMA's FLIGHT
Story of the Escape Of the Sacred
Head of Government.

Darjiling. British India, Feb. 2S.-
Inc circumstances surrounding the
night from Lhasa of the now deposed
Dalai Lama, the nominal head of the
Tibetan government, are as follows:
The Dalia Lama following his wide
wanderings, arrived at Lhasa in De.
cember with authority from Pekin to
take over the government from the
provisional governors who were an

holy city in 1904 by Col. Sir Edward
Younghusband at the head of a Brit
ish column when Great Britain Sc
cured from Tibet certain concessions
in the matter of trade and in that of
the foreign relations Of the country.
The Dalai Lama was installed at the
palace and monastery of Potala amid
popular demonstrations. The ruler.
who was again given civil power
along with his office at the head Of
the llamaist hierarchy, pardoned all
the Tibetans who had given aid to
Col. Younghusband. and all went we'll
for the first month, then the Dalai
Lama protested to the Chinese am
bassador in charge of the military
AFFAIRS. because of the excuses Of the
Chinese troops on the Sze-Chuen
frontier. where they were sacking the
monasteries and kill ing the monks.
This protest served to stir up the
whole question of the status Of Tibet.
The amban declared that 1t was a
Chinese province and said that he
would deal with the rebels on the
frontier az 1t pleased him to do.
Other questions of authority arose,
and finally the amban ordered into
Lhasa $500 Chinese troops. who were
encamped at the outskirts of the CAPT.

THE BUDGET SYSTEM.

Following Senator Aldrich's state
ment that there was waste of $780,
100000 annually in the governments
expenditures. and that he could I'M
dertake to save three times that sum
If given the opportunity, President
Taft took up the same question in his
speech at Newark. AS step toward
reducing wastefulness and cxtrava-
gance he advocated the budget system
IN vogue in every other civilized coun-
try, by which the revenues and ex-
pendltures of the goernment are
carefully considered as joint prop
osition by some one authority. At
Washington. as he pointed out, the
house committee on ways and means
and the senate committee ON finance
are concerned in the raising of rev.
enue. But when 1t comes to cxpendi-
lures there is a haphazard distribu-
ton by the various appropriation
committees. as often as not without
any regard for. the revenue available.
That confusion and disaster have
not resulted has been due to the hap
py circumstance that the revenues
showed a surplus over the estimates,

fear of deficit, the new tariff bill

The following paragraph from
an editorial in Sundays Herald
was probably written by the same
brilliant genius who wrote that
famous one on the reliability of
the Herald's news concerning the
appointment of Senator Purcell:
"If, between now and election
time you hear anything to the dis
credit of the commission plan of
government. any statement to the
effect that it is not working we'll

ant how he knows, and why he

There will be a determined effort
at the coming session of Congress to
secure the passage of an act estab-
fishing a parcels post, and surely
there never was a measure for which /
there was greater demand in the
interests of the people. Of course
it will be vigorously opposed by the
express companies, but it may be set
down as a fact that in this course
they will be actuated by motives
that ar foreign to the public well
fare. The express companies enjoy
immense monopolistic privileges and
their charges for service are far in
excess of actual needs. Some time
ago the Wells-Fargo system in
creased its capital stock 200 per
cent. and then it declared a 300 per
cent. cash dividend. Now it has
declared quarterly dividend on this
increased amount of stock at the
same rate that prevailed before the
increase took place. Of course this
is an increased argument with the
stockholders against the parcels post
system. When the stock is paying
this enormous dividend every one
who has shared in the cutting of the
melon will be convinced that it is an
outrage to interfere with it, and
that the business of the country is
able to take care of itself without
any interference. In the meantime e
the people pay this money, and it is
public robbery as much as if the
stockholders went out with a shot
gun and levied toll on the highway
Only in the one case it is done under
cover of the law, and the other is
the result of individual enterprise.
1t is growing more and more appar.
ent that the country will never bt
able to rid itself of the excessive
exactions of Big Business until i
repudiates the system of privilege
under which the evils of Big Busi
ness have grown up. With fair com
petition, which the parcels pos
system would afford, the Oppressive
exactions of the express companie
would be impossible. Sunday Star
