ADJUSTMENTS


1t is a we'll known fact that the
hardest things to invent are the title
and last acts of plays. Many a play
which has aroused the enthusiasm of
the audience in the early part of the
evening is spoiled by last act which
only unwinds the tangled skeins of a
plot and in such manner that the
audience knows just what is going to
happen. The play which Chauncey
Olcott is producing this season, and
which will be the attraction at the
Metropolitan theater, Monday, August
q, might have better title than
"Macushla," as it expresses nothing
OF the quaint humor contained in it's
lines and situations, but inasmuch as
people are attracted by the name of
Olcott anyway, it does not detract
from the plays drawing qualities.
The last act of this play, however,
is very good and for that reason this
has been one of the real hits of ths
season. Interest in the plot is held
to the final speech. there is no flag
ging of events or situations and it
would take a pretty keen judge to
determine how it is going to end.

Relax, the 11-year-old sen of Mr.. and
Mrs. Chas. Relax Of Forman town
ship. attempted to play with a dy-
Mantle cap in one of the fields of
the farm, and is now sadder and
wiser boy. The cap exploded and
blew two fingers off one hand and
took the tips of two more fingers on
the other hand The boy showed
grit, however, in walking home I'M
assisted. He was hurriedly taken to
town where DR.. Trimbo dressed the
injured hands. 1t appears that the
boy was out in the field quite dis
lance from the house. and his par
ents did not know he had the cap,
which was one of the kind used by
many farmers in blasting rock. The
youngster is now doing as we'll as
could be expected, and II blood pois-
oning does not set in. he will speed
lily recover his strength. but will al
ways have sad reminder Of his ex-
perience with dangerous plaything.

Former Governor j. M. Devine to-
day issued the following statement:
"As result of the contest that has
been waged over the selection Of the
Minot normal, the impression has gone
out that Minot is divided into war
ring factions. This Is misleading

MONDAY. AUGUST IA, 1911.
CAMPAIGN PUBLICITY.

The bill providing for the publica-
ton Of campaign contributions is
now practically a law, the only re-
manning acts necessary to its COM
pletion being the ratification of the
conference report by the two houses
of congress and it's approval by the
president. The bill as finally agreed
upon is something of surprise, es-
ipecially to those who have contended
that the senate is the saucer in which
all reformatory legislation is cooled.
The senate amended the house bill
by placing primary as we'll as gen.
eral elections under the provision of
the law. In many instances the pri-
mary nomination is equivalent to an
election and there is no reason why
the campaign expenses of candidates
in those contests are not as much in
need of publicity as are those of the
general election. The senate very
materially improved the house bill by
the amendment.
The ones who will profit most by
the law are the candidates them
selves. Few men seek Office who are
DESTROYS of spending unlimited guam
titles of money in order to win. But
once a candidate is in the fight there
is an inherent disposition to win
win at any cost-and SO the evil Of
the use of money in campaigns came
and grew. Candidates as we'll as
students of practical politics long ago
realized that much of the prediction
campaign money was pure graft.
There are legitimate expenses con-
nected with the conduct of cam
paign that are outside the graft clas-
sification, but it includes the vast ma
jority of those who claim to be able
to deliver so many votes at so much
per- The money paid for such votes
never gets beyond the use of the man
seeking it. .......
The expenses Of campaigns have
caused the elections to become large
~ rich mems games, the man of av-
erage financial standing and the poor
man having no chance in the unlim-
tied demands for cash.
The national law will not obliter-
ate these evils like the one enacted
by the North Dakota legislature, be.
cause 1t does not have the criminal
penalty that the North Dakota sta
tnte has. but will quicken the public
conscience along the lines of eradi-
eating the evil of election graft

JOHN w. GATES.

enon, and yet more than half proud
OF the stalwart figure who was able
to make so many different kinds Of
people sit up and take notice.
Much of the attractiveness that in.
vested the personality of Mr.. Gates
lay in the inability to fit him in sat
isfactorily in the scheme of life. Men
who are easily classified are prompt.

With Mr.. Gates, his bigness was sc
pronounced that the temptation tc
call him great was all but irresisti-
BILE. He was a rough diamond, yet
not boor. With inexhaustible vital
ity, BETTING his Drawn and girth, he
found congenial place in certain

up of capitalist would have debar-
red him, and these tendencies won
for him the sobriquet of "Bet-You-a-
Million" Gates. Whether or not he
enjoyed the appellation may never be
known. There was something of the
Viking in his nature; more, perhaps,
of the Goth. With that, he was a
safe and dependable man of affairs,
never a dilettante, equally earnest in
all his plans, whether they involved
the details of carefully prepared
coup that led up to killing" on the
track, or the shrewd preliminaries
that preceded his successful bust
ness enterprises and combinations, in
which he matched his wits with the
boldest spirits and most highly train
ed intellects in the realm of Ameri-
can finance.
Whatever Mr.. Gates undertook, he
entered into heart and soul. And
while this quality no doubt was re-
sponsible to a large degree for his
material success. it was because he
was a big, breezy, large-hearted,
whole-souled man, rather than be-
cause he amassed millions in Spec
tacular manner that he attracted
such wide notice. Mr.. Gates was a
fitting personification of the nations
vastness, rather than of any single
feature of it's more refined charac-
teristics, and in the entire field of
American endeavor there is no one
left quite like him.
