1he attended the session. 'Ete=H ~'''''-''
The laundrymen contend that they
paySfullypne:third express charges for
! what iss dead weight. -
They also contend that bread bas-
f$kets full are sent over the state at
merchandise rates and that the bas-
kets are returned at a nominal charge,
and that in the long run if the laundry
me MS rate was fixed at merchandise
ratrs with the same charge on bas-
ke ts. as given the bread makers they
would be winners.
There was no sworn testimony TAX
en- at the hearing which was attended
by Commissioners Mann and Stuts-
man, Commissioner Anderson being
detained on account of snow block
ade on the Farmers line.
. The laundrymen from the five cities,
Fargo, Devils Lake, Jamestown, Grand
Forks and Wahpeton were represented
by Judge Corliss and the four express
companies, the Northern, the Great
Northern, the Western and the Wells
Fargo, by Attorney Duggan Of the
Forks.
Each of the laundrymen had some
thing to say and during the discussion
the statement was made that beer
cases were shipped from Moorhead as
!, far west as Dickinson, a distance of
nearly 80 miles and that the empties
were sent back at cost of 10 cents
each.
The laundrymen contended that dry
cleaned clothing came under the head
of laundry and that the charge for
that should be the-same as laundry
work. 1t was stated that bread bas.
kets: which weigh about the same as
the laundry baskets were shipped back
empty at a very small cost, but that
. laundry baskets which we're being
shipped! to the laundry filled with soil
ed clothes were charged for at the

weighed about one-third of the entire

Value of a Good Reporter.

Redding (Calf.) Searchlight.
The world at large is blissfully ignor-
ant of the extent to which many promi-
nent citizens are indebted to the re-
porters who interview them on live is
sues. The prominent citizen will in
dulge in fight of words that, if print
ed as he uttered them, would make him
the laughing stock of all who read them
and awaken a desire in the breast of
the interviewed one to shed the scribe's
gore in large quantities.
When reporter secures an interview
he does not, savein very rare instances.
write out what was told him in the ex-
act words used. He polishes up and
trims off the ragged edges, as it were,
and presents to the readers finished
product. The interviewed one, if he
has the saving grace of common sense.
Is always grateful for the changes made
and considers himself the reporters
debtor.
The Baltimore Evening Sun presents
this matter so lucidly and appositely
that we are fain to quote it and stamp
1t as entirely correct. The Sun uses
the actual remarks of a man besoueht
for a pronunciamento upon a school
question to point its moral and adorn its
tale thus:
Don't talk to me about no Van
Sickle. The scholars in the schools to-
day don't learn half what they used to
learn. When went to school it was
different. Today they waste their time
on knittin', mud pies and such damn
monkey business. I heard the other
day that they don't learn the children
spellin' at all no more. I'm in favor of
cuttin' out that fancy stuff and givin's
'em somethin' that'n stick to the ribs.
Have cigar? Say somethin' good and
strong. Tell 'em I'm against it."
The interview appears in the paper
next day, done into English by the re-
porter, as follows:
mo one can deny that the present
imbroglio is disorganizing the schools
and diminishing the efficiency of the
teachers. Reports have received from
parents convince me that the expert
ments attempted by Mr.. Van Sickle
have failed to improve the system or to
benefit the pupils. Whatever the de-
merits of the old curriculum, it at least
laid firm foundation and gave the pu-
pill working knowledge of the funda-
mental branches. The new curriculum
does not accomplish this. / believe a
change IN the Office OF superintendent
would be to the advantage of the
schools"

THE ONLY WAY,

The primary election of last Thursday
demonstrated what this paper has al
along contended-that there is no DOS
sible hope for reform of the machine
control of this State within the ranks
of the Democratic party. The abuses
of the office-holding ring that dominates
the affairs of this State are we'll known
and were amply proven during cam
paign just ended. Supported as thew
now are, by the overwhelming endorse
ment of their own party, they will prob
ably not even deny the existence of the
abuses with which they have been
charged. The only way then is for the
Democrats who put pride of State above
mere partisan consideration to unite
with the Republicans and Redeem Vir-
ginia."
Tazewell Republican. [volume] (Tazewell, Va.) 1892-1919, 1911-09-14
SHOULD MAKE A FIGHT.

In last weeks Clinch Valley News an
editorial under above caption they say,
I'VE have always commended that there
should be division of the offices OF the
county and avoid these bitter and ex-
pensive contests. If the dominant par
ty was not quite so office hungry and
greedy and would agree to anything
like an equitable division of these Offices
there would be no fight and the best
men of both parties would be put in
control"
Happy condition but before agreeing
entirely with our esteemed contem-
porary let us ask him to what extent
he represents his party in this matter.
Does he speak by the card and has he
the authority to extend the division of
offices to the "a Democratic counties or
does he wish only to apply it to the 16
counties that went Republican at the
last Gubernatorial election in 1909? We
await his reply with interest for so far
as we can recollect we cannot recall
where, in county safely Democratic.
a Republican was ever allowed a look in
at county office. If our contemporary
Is not able or willing to go so far as to
say we should have 1.-THE best men of
both parties in CONTROL in all
counties, will he then be willing to 90
so far as to use his influence to have
the Democratic party when they redis-
trict the State in the next legislature
at least give the Republicans an equit-
able representation in Congress and
the Legislature?
Take for instance the States repre-
sentation in Congress based on the vote
of last year: In the First District there
were 1889 votes cast; Second 1852;
Third 6,22l; Fourth 3, 769; Fifth IA. sls;
Sixth 5,937; Seventh 1O,OSS; Eighth
1863; NINTH 33, $50; Tenth 5,s7s. In
other words, under the present unfair
gerrymander in the only Republican dis
trict in the State the voters have only
one-half the representation in Congress
as has the next highest district anG
only about one-tenth of the lowest. Is
this right? Is it fair to the greatest sec.
ton of the State?
Conditions in the legislative districts
are as bad, or worse, in that they more
directly affect the interests of this sec
ton. Will our contemporary defenC
them?
Let our contempory instead of worry
ing over the division of offices in on,
Republican county look to it that hi,
party gives the Republicans a squar,
deal in all and then in the period of gooC
will that will follow mayhap the tim,
will come when the parties will agre,
on the best men of all parties.

Nearly every daily paper of promi-
hence in the State united with the anti
machine forces during the primary cam
paign just ended. This is an encourae-
ing sign of the times, as it is to be
hoped this example of freedom from
the shackles of political bossism will
spread to the people and in time that
they also will put State above party and
help redeem it from the thraldom OF
machine rule.
