LET'S GET AT 1T.

The Pilot Man has heard a great
deal of favorable comment in re-
CARDS to the skating rink that was
talked OF about two weeks ago. The
plan suggested was to flood the
ball ground, which can easily be
done from one OF the fire plugs
| right en- the corner, and have that
for skating rink, so that the chill
dren and older folks, too, would
not have to go skating on the river
or lake and endanger their lives. In
kalispell the pend in the park was
flooded by the power company at
their own expense, and in addition
to that Manager. Mcdonald strung
wires and installed a number Of
electric lights. Hundreds Of
people have been enjoying the sport
every afternoon and evening. 1t
was thought by some that the occas-
ional spurts of warm weather that

ing rink to be kept in good condi-

ever, this office is connected with
phone, and he will appreciate very
much if those who have items OF
interest will phone them in. 1t
will only take few minutes Of your

give a better account of a party or
some social doing in writing, so
just drop us note in the postof-

lent than calling. Every little while
there are parties, etc., that we do
not hear about, and we have no

THE WORKINGS OF THE
WHITEFISH COMMERCIAL
ASSOCIATION EXPOSED
several ance?

| Since we have heard several
highly amusing and ridiculous ru-
mors regarding the working and pur
pose Of this association, and since
there is nothing whatever of a Sc
cret nature about our work, it would
not be amiss to set the general pub
lie right at this time.
In order that you may have a
clear understanding of the situation
1t is necessary that we go into the
case thoroughly and. show you first
the cause for this association being
formed; secondly, the work of the
association, and lastly the results we
hope to accomplish from the work
we have undertaken.
1t is absolutely necessary to do a
! credit business in railroad town,
made so by the railroads them
selves paying only every thirty days
and by holding back twenty days
pay. Now, We want to do a credit
business, because people buy more
literally on credit than they would
for cash, but in doing credit bus
mess the world over, merchant is
confronted with two courses to pur-
sue; first, he may stand all the loss
es from bad accounts himself-for
losses there will surely be. Sec
ondly, he may so arrange the
prices on his merchandise that the
people who pay their bills will pay
the losses on the customers who fail
to pay. Now, Mr. Consumer, place
yourself in the merchants place.
When you knew that the first
course led to sure failure, which
course would you follow?
In the past years business has
been SO good that the merchants
mere have not felt the load Of bad
accounts that they have been carry
ing, but business is not SO brisk
now, and the prospects are that
things will settle down to a fair,
steady business for the next year
or so. The merchants are being
confronted with the fact that their
profits have been slowly shaved by
competition, and in order to keep
their business at home lower prices
will have to be the order Of the day
from now on
Do you know that the firms rep
resented in this association have
considerably over 100000 in bad
accounts on their hooks-accounts
run by people who make it al
business to come into a town and
"get into" every merchant and Incl
dentally to make a few touches OF
five Or ten dollars from their fell
low workers, and then get out over
night, only to go to some other
town and repeat the same perform

Rexall orderlies are eaten just
like candy, are particularly prompt
and agreeable in action, may be- ia
ken at any time, day or night; do
not cause diarrhoea, nausea, gripping,
excessive looseness, or other unde-
sirable effects. They have a very
mild but positive action upon the or
cams with which they Gene in con-
tact, apparently acting as a regula-

the St. Paul Dispatch.

From the st. Paul Dispatch.
Des Moines came to the front a few
years ago by adopting kind of city
charter then rather uncommon in this
country. 1t had followed Galveston but
had made some improvements which
warranted applying to the general
scheme of city government which it
stood for the name, 1.-The Des Moines
plan" Now it threatens to become a
pioneer in the ownership of its transpor-
tation system. Municipal ownership of
street railways has become concrete is
sue in Des Moines. The street railway
companies doing business in that city are
reported to have declared that they were
unable to meet the conditions imposed
upon them by the city and finance their
lines, and they are ready to sell to the
city. y definite proposition. has been
made to the city authorities, and is now
being considered. That Is nearer to the
goal of municipal ownership than has yet
been reached by an American city, ex-
cept Cleveland, and in Cleveland the
companies in control of the railways
fought the project instead of suggest
ing it. Toledo and Detroit have also
made some progress toward municipal
ownership of street railway properties,
but at the present moment Des Moines
is the most advanced. Only as a last
resort are American cities at this time
inclined to take up municipal owner
ship or transportation systems.

No More Mall Buildings!

For Congress 10 adopt the amendment

one OF the three new department build
ings on Tho Mall. would be virtually a
breach of faith. When the act was
passed providing for the taking OF the
five squares at the western end of the
Mall-AVenuc triangle, that action was
equivalent TO a declaration in favor of plac-
ing future government buildings on the
land lying between the great park and
the city's chief thorouShfare. tantamount
TO pledge to preserve the park lands
from further spoiiaiion by masonry.
No explanation has been offered of the
reason for encroachng on the Mall with
one OF the three department buildings.

that something will soon be accomplished

the two houses. Such a process is the
least desirable of all methods of legisla-

A National License.
From the Philadelphia Press.


The passage by the national House of
Representatives. of the Mann bill for the
federal licensing and registry Of automo-
biles counts for something. even though
the Senate will hardly have time to take
it up in the brief remainder of this ses-
sion. 1t shows that there Is sentiment
in Congress in favor of national license
for automobiles and goes far to assure
its adoption when presented anew in the
next Congress. The interruption of traf-
fic at state lines and the imposition Of
local burdens on those whose primary al
legiance is to other states has always
been a favorite procedure with state gov
ernments. The early railroads felt this
handicap. Most of the states originally
would have liked to have all the railroads
begin and end entirely within the state.
Railroads were constructed on different
gauges purposely to prevent the cars be-
ing carried out of the home state. We
have overcome this by natural eVolu-
ton. The national authority over inter
state commerce has pretty nearly aboi-
ished state lines as they affect freight
and passenger traffic. The automoplies'
though, are held up at state lines by the
requirement of fresh tax and new
license.

manned at his post in order to safeguard
the lives of his charges. That mans
life was sacrificed by the carelessness of
some person who threw the paper into
the street to be blown about at the will
OF the wind. 1t is TO be hoped that this
tragedy will make an impression upon
the public mind. There is no. excuse
whatever for the littering OF the streets
with paper or any other refuse. Recep-
tacies are provided at intervals for trash
OF all sorts, and in any case q person
wishing 70 dispose Of paper can at least
crumple it into wad and throw it into

ID to give each building a suitable park

and to give each building a suitable park
setting.
The intrusion of one of the three de-
partment buildings upon the Mall at the
corner of 14th and B streets would Sc
iiously break the symmetry OF that end
of the reservation. 1t Is true that there
are building invasions east of this point.
The Department of Agriculture, now
standing as three buildings, covers an
immense area in the section Immediately
east of the part known as the Monument
grounds, specifically designated as the
site of the proposed building. In the
Smithsonian section there are now four
buildings. the old Smithsonian, the old
National Museum, the new Museum and
the Army Medical Museum: In the sec
ton to the east, popularity known In the
past as Armory Square, stands the old
armory. now used by the fish commits
sion, but relieved OF the railroad station,
the site of which, however, is named ten
tatvely for the National Guard armory.
Thus if this present proposition goes
through, together with the plan for an
armory structure on the Mall, that res
ervation will be incumbered with no less
than ten structures. of wide range OF
architecture and an even wider range OF
unattractiveness, all covering space that
would better be left to grass and trees
and shrubs and paths, and lessening by a
considerable measure the wholesome
health-giving qualities of the park.
No consideration of convenience of ac-
cess can operate to induce the taking OF
land within the Mall for public buildings.
1t will be better for the public service if.
the five-square plat being insufficient for
three structures, one of them were placed,
for instance, on squares $50 and 260. i'm
mediately adjoining to the east the south
ernmost of the five squares of the orisi-
nal condemnation. Such site would
be nearer the center of things than one
carved out Of the northeast corner of the
Monument grounds. Better still would be
one of the squares fronting on the
Avenue.
The Senate should carefully consider,
even in these last hours of turmoil and
combinations, whether it is consistent
and wise thus to take the back track
