SUBMARINE LIGHTS.

New York harbor is to be lighted
by a series Of submarine lights which
win in truth make 1t the Great White
Way.
Electric lights placed on buoys are
dazzling and extremely unsatisfactory,
consequently scheme has been de-
vised to light the main channels in
New York harbor by means OF electric
lights under the water.
1t Is proposed that this series Of
submarine lights shall extend from
the harbor down to the lower bay and
even out to the open sea.
Electricians maintain that the path
for vessels to follow can be made so
clear that danger Of collisions will be
minimized-and shipping made very
much safer by means OF the ingenious
new series of light.

Jamestown. Alert: After a session
of over 1--WE weeks duration and at an
approximate cost Of over $4,000, the
state senate or court Of impeachment
has acquitted Judge Cowan on every
charge and on every specification.
The senators voted separately on the
different charges and the different
specifications. After the testimony
for both sides had been given 1t was
seen that the prosecution had not
convinced enough senators of the
truth of the charges against the judge
to convict him. The testimony was
SO favorable to the Judge on most of
the charges, that the members of the
court could not on their baths and con-
sciences And verdict Of guilty. On
many of the specifications there was
scarcely any sentiment for convic-
ton, while on many of the specihca-
tions there was practically a divided
opinion: at no time did the prosecu-
ton on any charge against the judge,
come within ten miles Of an Inn
parchment. The court took all the
circumstances into consideration and
declared that on the question of ha-
bitual drunkenness in certain public
places, the prosecution had not proved
its case. In fact there were only three
votes for conviction on these charges.
On number of charges of intoxi-
cation at certain other places there
was more of a division Of opinion,
and on several specifications all mem
bers voted for acquittal. The highest
vote cast against the judge on any
specification was %. There were
eighty specifications and in each and
every case the judge came out with
the verdict of not guilty and on most
OF the charges the majority OF senate
for acquittal was substantial The
senators could see that many of the
charges were in reality trifiing in
their nature.
1t is evident that the court decided
the case strictly on the testimony pre-
scented, which was the only sensible,
fair and legal course to take. While
a number of senators voted for the
Judge on certain charges. of intemper-

GIRL TRAIN CHOPPERS"

Darlington. N. D.. May s.--A few
nights ago a Darlington girl hoped"
the night passenger train west as 1t
was pulling out OF the station. She
was swinging far out from the train
as she held to the hand rods. The
night was dark and the night man at
the depot was backing a heavy truck
along the platform. The truck, gave a
sudden jerk. veered toward the cars,
caught the girl and nearly threw her
under the moving train. The fright
sustained by the station man was suf-
fIcient for him to decide to take no
such chances again and Chief Of Police
Sheean was notified to keep an eye out
for the few girls who have developed
the habit OF making the night train
each and every evening. 1t is their
common practice to take a short ride
on the steps as the train pulls out and
constant fear has been endured by the
500 force that the girls were due for

FALSE WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.

Inspectors from the department Of
commerce and labor have been visit
ing various cities. They are engaged
in the work of investigating the
weights and measures in common use
in the retail stores of the country The
federal authorities have no control
over the matter OF weights and meas
ures-that being a matter OF police
regulation BY the states The investi-
CATION is merely for the purpose of col
lecting data--to determine to what ex :
tent the people Of the United States
are daily mulcted by the use of false
weights and measures. The results
OF the inquiry certainly show the need
of drastic reforms in the enforcement
of the state laws on the subject.
One report made by these investi-
gators covers conditions in the city Of
Boston. This is a city, by the way,
which is better equipped with city
scalers to look out for law violations
than is any other city in the coun-
try. Yet the federal investigators
found that 3s per cent Of the scales
tested in that city weighed falsely
20 per cent OF the liquid measures in
use were false-and 10 per cent OF
the dry measures. The mistakes
were nearly always in favor Of the
dealers.
The consumer does not alone suf-
fer from such frauds as these. They
are a severe handicap to the retailer
who himself aims at being honest
and to give honest measure to his
customers. Not one American in a
1000 takes the trouble to weigh the
goods which he buys. He is careless
ly willing TO take the dealers word
for 1t. Yet, IL he finds one dealer who
offers more for the same money than
does another--he is apt to transfer his
trade to the place where he can buy.
theoretically, the more cheaply. The
user OF fraudulent weights can thus
take customers away from the honest
dealer The temptation to use false
measures-in order to gain customers
against this unfair competition-may
prove too strong to resist.
1t is high time that there should
be rigid enforcement of the law
in the interests Of the consumers-and
OF the honest retailers as well.

opportunities OF Devils Lake, which
were just being so widely circulated.
This is in all probabilities the death
knell OF the small crowd of dis
gruntled politicians and idle office
seekers who have for years proved the
disturbing element in Devils Lake
and whether they at this time realize
their position and gracefully retire,
or whether they live up to their
threats to "get the goat" of other Of

means, should matter little to the pro-
gressive element OF the town. Devils
Lake is too big and has too good
prospects to be held back in its prog
ress by such an aggregation.
1t may be difficult to heal the old
sores that have been reopened by the
recent outrage, but sober thought
should rule and with vim and energy
unequalled in years gone past the citi-
zens should now bend every effort in
making their home forge to the front

fort from every citizen. The wheel Of

MONDAY, MAY 8, 1911.
STORE swEEPINes.

There is a wide spread movement in
many cities of the country to prevent
filth and refuse from stores and Of
fees from being swept across the side
walks into the cutters. Most munich
palities have drastic ordinances
against this reprehensible and unsani-
tary practice. Others require that
store sweepings must be swept to some
point within the building, there coll
lected-then deposited outside in a
covered can till removed by the gar
bage man.
Few habits are more disgusting or
disease spreading. The filth that &C
cumulates In stores--including ex-
pectorations--is swept across the side
walk into the gutter. 1t is anything
than healthful to be on your way to
work in the morning and have some
friend with broom scattering this
vile stuff wildly into the air. That
which reaches the gutter is left there
to dry, then to be picked up and
whirled into the faces, noses, mouths
and lungs of the people who are in
that vicinity.
Many cigar stores and other places
have no more sense of decency and
cleanliness than to empty foul and
filthy cuspidors into the gutter in front
OF their places.
Fargo Is away behind in sanitary
legislation along this line and there
should be better and rigid regulations
regarding the disposition OF filthy ac-
cun1ulatinns
