THE SMOKE NUISANCE.

The following extracts from report
Of the Citizens Committee appointed
in Minneapolis to investigate the
smoke nuisance appear to be extreme
ly timely and applicable in any com
munity:
"That it is direct menace to the
public health, in that it fosters tuber-
culosis by loading the air with carbon
particles which lodge in the lungs and
by causing housekeepers to keep the
windows closed to shut out the SCOT;
''That it creates pail which hangs
over the city, shuts out the life giving,
germ-destroying sunshine, and is most
mentally and physically depressing;
"That it kills the confer trees, and
blights parks and city foliage;
"That it is mark of uncleanli-
ness;
"That it creates waste to mer-
chants, housekeepers and owners of
buildings that cannot be estimated;
"That it spreads broadcast sulphuric
acid, amonia, creosote and carbon
monoxide. 1t attacks stone-work, es
pecially limestone and marble, and
causes mortar and concrete to disin.
tegrate rapidly, and rot textiles;
"That it is in every case a prevent.
able nuisance

We hate to do it, but we just can It
help but call attention to the reports
of the western storm that appeared in
the two papers of this city. The
World Monday night gave compre-
hensive and detailed report of the ac-
cident, stating that two were dead
the other paper had score or more.
Last night our first report was veri-
fed and there were no additional cas-
ualties-but the other paper ran the
names of seven who were reported kill
ed in the first report. It so happened
that representative of The World
talked personally to N. W. Carlson of
Sherwood, whom the other paper re-
ported as having lost three from his
family. The facts show his little
child was killed, as we stated, and
other members Of his family were in
jured. The World does not like to
boast but it must be admitted that SO
far as our state service IS concerned,
we are up and coming with the dailies
of the larger cities.

cRARY ASKS QUESTIONS.

Nlilt Crary, who was made the sub
ject OF a series of bitter attacks by
the .'Consoidated Press during the
past week is not the one to lie quiet.
Not for Mlt. In the current issue or
the Edmore Herald News Editor Crazy
asks few pertinent questions that
NAV bother the editor of the journal
to answer. The editorial follows:
''Thc Devils Lake .Iournal-by the
way, the most unreliable newspaper in
the state-savS that the whiskev ele-
mcnt is firmly in the saddle in Devils
Lake, and with the exception OF two
offices is in absolute control OF the
courthouse ii this We're true it would
certainly lie Il sad state of affairs, but
it is so far from the truth that the
most biased individual knows that the
Journal is simply lying. The journal s
TRADE along these lines in the past.
backed Ivy its few democratic sponsors,
has cost this county in the ncighbor-
hood of $4,000 and the state Of North
Dakota $500, with no results what
ever. The Journal cannot say that it
was for the lack of prosecution, as all
the machinery was pressed into action.
including his democratic governor, his
attorney general with his army OF dep
uties, and around these were grouped
the whole democratic machinery with
all its imps and shysters.
"The Journal says that all the Of
fcers in Devils Lake and Ramsey coun-
ty, with the exception of two, belong
to the whiskey element. Below we
publish a list of the city and county
officials. and in order to be fair to
those two. who the Journal claims to
be lilly Whites and to be more explic-
it in his statements so that the tax
payers may know just the ones who are
upholding and backing the booze ele-
ment. We ask the Journal to sort out
the sheep from the wolves by giving
the names of those two.
''The city officials Of Devils Lake
are as follows: P. j. McClory, F. T.
Cuthbert, Geo. Jurgens, 0. w. Ohnstad,
P. G. Miller, S. L. Wineman, c. J. B.
Turner. Hans Halgren, c. w. Greene,
Louis Hansen, f. Callahan, DR.. McGur-
rem, Messrs. Nygard, johnson and Har-
ris.
"The county officials are as follows:
John Mclean, D. G.. Duell, R. V. Rice.
Gus. Furstenau, j. A. Haig, J. F. Hen
ry, NJ. A. Hoghaug, Herman Stenseth,
c. 0. Johnson, Frank Emigh, Thos. Ma
loney, Ole J. Hoistad and John Thelin.
"Now the Journal claims all but
two of the above named men belong to
the whiskey element, and for informa-
ton we would ask Bro. Bloom to be
more definite and give us the names
of the two he is willing to take
chances on as being against the pig
gers.
"Our opinion is that the Journal is
sore because it's handful of followers
cannot run Devils Lake and Ramsey
county, and in order to be antagonis
tic to the officials is willing to lie wher
the truth sounds much better. AnG
further than that it is willing to class
our county officials with blind piggers
Give US the names, Bloom!"
