ARTICLES OF THE GROCERY AND
FRUIT LINE ARE NOT DIS
PLAYED ON SIDEWALK.

Devils Lake merchants, and none of
those who handle groceries and fruit
are to be left out in this particular,
are exceptionally careful in the protec-
tion of vegetables and fruit. The plac-
ing Of articles Of food upon display on
stands on the sidewalks in front Of the
various stores is custom entirely un-
heard of in this city, and while most
cities suffer now as in days of yore
from this particular mode Of advertis-
ing, the local merchants refrain entire
ly from this plan. "The idea is a
good one," said one dealer. cit is
no more than right that tho public
should be protected from the possibili-
ties of disease connected with exposure
of fruit and vegetables. So far as we
are concerned we have always tried
to be very careful about this matter
and to compel more careless dealers to
do the same thing is in reality pro.
lection and safeguard to the honest
merchant. ~,,,.-~'..,>s.,.

DECISION OF WOOL BILL
AMENDED SOME,
House Will Likely Pass Statehood
Bill Over Veto of the President
Arbitration Treaty Can Not Possibly
be Ratified at the Present ses-

! Washington, D. aG, Aug: 16,-The
house leaders are putting forth every
effort to adjourn the House, August
22nd and from present indications vii
be able to complete the business anG
get away by that time although it will
require rapid work during the coming
week to care for all the matters of the
busy session.
The wool bill is still being discussed
pro and con and is bringing out many
heated arguments, the result being that
it has been amended somewhat.
The bill is now ready to go to Presi-
dent Taft and from present indications
the President will have it both COM
ing and going for no matter which way
he puts his signature he will be left
in a very bad position, whether he We
toes it or let's it become law, he will
get it both ways.
The House is also promising some
sensations before the close of the ses-
sion, chief among which will be the
passing of the statehood bill over the
veto Of President Taft. This will leave
matters in a rather difficult position.
1t was given out with considerable
degree of certainty that the arbitration

CONDUCTORS INQUIRE INTO Pow.
ERS RELATIVE TO ARREST OF
DRUNKEN MEN ON TRAINS.

Passenger train conductors are be.
ginning to take a real live interest in
the new state law that prohibits the
drinking of Intoxicating liquors on
trains, and numerous inquiries are made
of local peace officers with reference
to the powers and authorities they are
granted under the new law.
AS whole, the conductors are veil
pleased with the legislation as it gives
them more power to deal with the
drunk man nuisance which sometimes
approaches the point of being anything
but pleasant and healthful. The new
law grants the conductors the power 10
arrest such men and turn them over to
the local police officials at the nearest
stations.
The fall season, usually one that
gives the conductors an especially
large amount Of trouble, is responsible
for the new interest that is being taken
by them.

Grafton, N. D., Aug. l6--The safe
OF the postotfiee at Veseleyville, an in.
land town in Walsh county, was blown
last night, the robbers making away
with $3.50 in cash, which was in the
safe, and $3.50 in checks. The robbery
is supposed to have occurred early
Monday morning and details of the af-:

fact that the telephone Communication

The robbers were experienced and
cut the telephone wires into Veselyville

Postoffice was in the store owned by

tressing accident took place at the
Guthrie camp, about one mile east Of
Hannaford, when young man 10 years

in the track, and the slack between the
cars was taken up, he was thrown head
foremost off the train and then rolled
under the wheels, meeting instant
death. His chin was cut off by the

MEN AND THEIR OFFICES

Ihe letter written to this Office few
days ago by prominent farmer of this
county has brought forth many com
ments as to the policies of the different
men who are elcted to public office and
the different results obtained by those
individuals. e.
we believe that the prohibition
law mas been greatly abused by men
who seek to ride into Office on the is
sue OF the enforcement of that law, on
i 10 rssnlt after their election in
much senseless play to the gallery at
great expefse to the people and little
benefit Much better results are usu,
ee....v secured by the election of men
who are themselves good, lava abiding
citizens Of cool disposition who do
not boost as to what they are going to
do not exercise good Judgement ip their
administration. The latter class Of Of.
fcials usually get results at a great
saving to the taxpayer.
The letter referred to, we believe and
hope, exaggerates little the cost of
the proceedings to the state in the Cow.
an case and perhaps a little in the
county cases referred to, yet the Incl
dent shows two cases in which there
was little, if any, chance of obtaining
conviction before any jury in the
country and demonstrates that some
one was making play to the gallery
Our correspondent, evidently in com,
moa with many Of his neighbors, feels
that there is some man or set Of men
to be held responsible for this.
1t is always noticeable that the most
capable men who are handling state
and county affairs are those who arc
not seeking office or crammel with re
form ideas, but the men who have t.
be persuaded to run. An exelleut ex
ample Of this is Gunder Olson, the state
treasurer, whose record is an enyiabl,
one.
The farmers of this county arc 10
going to rapidly forget the heavy cos
Of the grand stand plays made IN th
last few months and when election tim
rolls around there will be some heav
jolts that will be unexpected.

ANOTHER WAY TO BOOST

Iowa Falls, Iowa, is another town
that has recently inaugurated a new
scheme of boosting. They have throun
their Commercial Club set aside lav
on which an effort will be male to sell
10000 postal cards to the people of that
city, all to be mailed on certain dav.
The postal cards. which were secured
by the Commercial Club. bore pictures
OF the town and a few descriptive
phrases illustrating its advantages as
home. This would be an excellent
scheme to work in Devils Lake. There
are dozens OF beautiful views that
would make good cards. the cards could
be secured at very reasonable figure
and sold so as to pay for all the work
and leave a little profit besides. Ten
thousand postal cards going to all parts
OF the United States would do some ex-
cellent advertising for the city. It is
plan worth trying at all events.

THE SOCIALISTS STAND.

In light of recent events i'll this city,
namely the enforced resignation OF Al
derman Callighan by the Socialist To-
cal. he refusal OF the council to accept
it and the subsequent decision of Mr..
Callahan to remain part of the gov
ernin@ board OF this city. the question
naturally arises what does Socialism
stand for anyway, National Socialist
ic principles are fairly we'll defined,
their state platform is not quite so
plain. but is would appear that i'll this
city at least local conditions can over
throw the principles OF the party with
little or no effort.
For example take the controversy
which brought about Alderman Gala
ehan'S breach With the local or"aniza
ton From what we can gather in lis
TENN" to the street corner orators and
our acquaintance with some OF the
leadin" members of the party i'll the
state. The World has always believed
that Socialism stood for assisting the
weak against the strong. the support
of the people against capital, Yet III the
Opera House fight between two of the
largest owners of corporate interests in
this section OF the state and a widow i'll
moderate circumstances. the Socialist
local promptly declares itself in favor
OF the capitalists.
NIonopolv V is defined as "the exclu-
sive right or privilege in engaging in a
particular traffic. and National Soc
ialism is strongly opposed to such sup
preston Of competition along business
lines. Yet the Devils Lake local votes
for monopoly for the capitalists, for
getting entirely what are supposed TO
be their principles.
Alderman Callaehan in his announce
ment to the Socialist local states that
he will not sever his connection with
the party as whole, as he still be-
lieves i'll its principles, but that he
will not affiliate himself with the local
organization which seems to be so cas-
lily Swaved by so few. Mr.. Callaehan
was elected from his ward. not as
representative of the Socialist party, as
no factional designation appeared on
the ticket, but is on the council in the
interests of all the residents of his
ward. In casting his vote on ques-
ton that did not interfere with any
known Socialistic principle he used his
best judgment. voting as he believed
to he Tor the welfare of the people at
large, and that he has decided to stick
to his position is greatly to his cred
it. The saner and wiser members of
the Socialist party are supporting Mr..
Callaghan now and the mass OF the
people in the city admire his stand.
It is either up to the Socialists to re-
Pudiate their action recalling Mr.. Call
ashan or suffer the ignomv of being
held up as laughing stock to the
other locals throughout the country
and to the people at large If they do
not, the local orators who have been
puncturing the night air with their log
ic will not have the faintest show of
foundation on which to base their arg
ument and the "overthrow of the rich
in favor of the poor' spasms that they
have been promiscuously throwing out
will be laughable in the extreme.

HERE HE GOES AGAIN COMING
RACE~

The following which appeared in
Judge. the funniest paper in the
field of journaliSm,'' says the Russell
Sentinel goes to show what 'ioke'
Burke's Endorsement for the presi
dencv really is:
"Governor Burke of North Dakota
is. it appears. Mr.. Brvan's choice for
the Democratic nomination for Presi-
dent next year. Twelve years ago,
when Mr.. Bryan was being pesterea to
tell whom he would support for the
nomination, he named over lot Of i'm.
possibles, governors and judges Of
southern states. He could thus pretend
to show that he was out Of the race
himself and at the same time tickle
the vanity Of some OF his followers. Of
course Governor Burke has not the
slightest chance for the nomination,
but, by indorsing him. Mr. Bryan re-
lieves himself OF the necessity Of con.
ing out for eithe- OF the rivals who are
soli:itous for his favor and gives the
Lightning another chsuc, Is strike

VALUE OF RECREATION.

DR.. Henry Smith Williams maintains
in his new book, "The Science Of Hap
piness,' that outdoor games have, be-
sides the stimulating effect Of mental
refreshment that every one knows
about, direct influence upon the mind
and character. One of the influences
in this country that is making for what
DR.. Williams urges is the playground
movement. DR.. Smith writes:
"The person who undertakes to de-
velop his muscles by entering into ath-
letic games gets pleasure as well as
benefit from his exercise. And tie
pleasure aids directly his positive dis.
ease-dispelling power. Not only will
his muscles be trained, but his eve and
brain. He will learn the value of
steady, persistent effort as he can hard
ly learn it elsewhere. He will be
taught self-reliance, even while his
egotism is kept healthfully in check
In short, his training in athletics will
bring about a coincident mental de
velopment that will stand him in hant
in the classroom or study, and in the
practical affairs of life.0
