as teacher of school in Slvert township
this spring.
The 500 railroad has laid off its
regular crew of section men at Alsen
and given their jobs to lot of Italians
shipped in by the company. There is
naturally much indignation expressed
by the people of Alsen.
Friends of Mr.. and Mrs. A. Arthur,
former residents of Milton, received the

months, died on Wednesday, April 18th.

G A Graves, Of the Duluth Testing
Co., was at Concrete several days last
week in the interest of some eastern
cement company looking over the plant
and property of the Pembina Portland
I Cement Go near that place. The pro
perty consists of some thirteen or four.
teen hundred acres on the Tongue and
Little Pembina rivers, large amount
Of machinery for manufacturing cement
burning kilns, railroad spurs, ore cars
workable tunnels, etc. A seam oi
cement rock several hundred feet in
thickness is exposed to view near the
plant. Mr.. Graves is very favorably
impressed with his finding so far, and
thinks 1t a great pity that an industry oi
such magnitude, that could be operated
there, should lay idle. Should the re-
port that Mr.. Graves will make, satisfy
the firm no represents, we may look ioi
great developments In the near future.

Annual Report of City Health Officer
10 the Mayor and Alderman of the City
of Lanpdon

To the Mayor and Alderman of the City
of Langdon.
Gentlemen: AS the end of the
municipal year of 1901 is drawing to
close, beg to submit to your honor
able body report of the health and
hygeDic condition of the city during
that time, and at the same time respect
fully call your attention to some con-
elitions still existing in Langdon which
demaud your careful attention.
Although at the present time our city
presents very unsanitary appearance,
this is simply due to the unavoidable
accumulation of dirt and refuse of our
long winter, which on the setting in of
warm weather can soon and easily be
remedied, but during the sulumer of
1910, L think | can safely say that the
city was kept in comparatively clean
and sanitary condition. | don't mean
to say by this that it was at all up to
the standard, but that it was in much
better condition than any previous
year to my knowledge, and nothing con.
tributed so much to this as the system
OF garbage disposal by garbage cans
which was instituted last spring OF
course but comparatively few availed
themselves of the system, some thirty or
families, belieye, which is necessary
consequence in the establishment of any
system when it is left to the choice OF
the people to do as they wish in the
matter. 1t is the peoples indifference
to their own health that keeps doctors
busy. 1t seems strange that they will
stubbornly refuse to spend few cents
in the prevention of disease. when they
will spend many dollars to effect cure
after the disease is established, and
many an unnecessary death to say
nothing of the cases of broken health
following sickness, is the direct result oi
this stubborness or indifferen %.
| However, though but few families
availed themselves of garbage disposa
by cans, nevertheless the establishment
of the system had the necessary effect O.
bringing the peoples attention to tht
matter in such way, that our bacl
alleys and yards were kept 1 may say il
a very respectable condition during tn
summer, and we sincerely hope that il
the coming summer many more familie
will provided themselves with tn
: necessary cans
Now I think we can claim some re
: suits from this system, outside of tn,
fact that our city presented clean ano
wholesome appearance Last fall Their
: was not to my knowledge one case o
typhoid fever in the city, and of othe
infectious diseases | have no record
None were reported to me and
| established no quarantine during tn,
year.
| The matter that | would especiall
call your attention to this year, is th
accumulation of horse manure on ou
I streets during the summer months

The COATESVILLE MURDER.

Southern White Mans Opinion Of
Lynchins In tho North.
At meeting held recently in the
Charles Street A. NJ. Il. church In Bos.
ton the Hon. Joseph @. Manning of
Birmingham, Ala, referring to the
COatesville pa lvnching. said:
what happened quite recently In q
burned to death Negro manacled to
hospital cot after storming the hos
pital, may happen any day right here
in Boston. The minds Of the northern
people have been infiamed by southern
politicians until now they look on the
Negro with the same feelings as the
people of the south.<
"While ] am not trying to arraign
the president Of the United States, I
am sure If you had the organization
the other races have he would pay at
tention to your demands that the
wrongs Of the colored people of the
south be righted.
'SOme time ago, when delegation
Of colored men went to see the presi-
dent to try to have him incorporate
into his message to congress something
concerning the conditions Of the Negro,
they were dismissed. But when dele
cation of Jews went to see him In Or
der to have an inquiry made into the
alleged discrimination against a He
brew In the United States army then
he paid willing heed to their request.
If you had the same organization and
the same one mindedness the other
races have you could get something
done
1.-THE poor Negro at his cabin door.
with his wife and baby by his side,
has as much right to be protected as
his white fellow citizen. And how can
that protection be secured? Only
through the ballot which has been
taken away from him, only by the use
Of the vote which has been denied to
him. There is nothing more cruel than
the fact the southern Negro once had
the vote and now has no voice in pro-
tecting his race.
81 am sure that just as soon as the
American people are made aware Of the
true state Of affairs in the south they
will demand that the negro be return
ed his right to vote. At present 1t Is
In direct violation of the constitution
Of the United States and Of the Dec
laration of Independence. 1t is taxa
ton without representation and in d.
rect contradiction of the principle that
all men are created free and equal"

GUARDING THE PUBLIC VISION

The Chief Of Police has demanded, and the
management of the Bijou Immediately and read
lily aoceded to his request. that certain views OF
that disgusting fasco at Reno. in which two
brutes-a black and white-contended for su-
premacy In the kingdom of pure animalism. be
discontinued. Incidentally, we do not consd-
er ourselves narrow when register our pro-
test against the glorifcation Of the physical,
when the only claim to fame man can urge is
the perfect development of his body and the
perverted employment Of his muscular strength
In such disgusting contests should only be
possible among the brutes. We are supposed
10 have gone. in the evolution of the human race,
a good many centuries beyond the period when
men deifed strength and made physical Prov
ess the chief attribute Of their demi-gods But
men, women, boys and girls may be still found
sensual enough to delight in the mere develop
ment of the brute and to glorify the man whose
only achievement is having proved himself the
biggest brute We protest against that condi-
ton of public life that will stand for the public
exhibition of bone. beef and blood paradiug in
the guise Of man, whose sole claim to public
recognition lies in the fact that he has pounded
and pummelled. banged and beaten a fellow
man into insensibiity or inability to resist,
But this aside. We began with the intention
Of commanding the authorities for protecting
the public against pictures that tend to lower
their ideals and vitiate their tastes Through
the eye come those pictures or visions, with
their legitimate suggestions that men translate
by the processes OF a mental alchemy into
ideals and desires. In the last analysis,
character is conditioned largely upon eye
sight. What we SEQ. love to look upon, take
into mind through eye, and then dwell upon.
fondle in imagination, cherish In memory. that
becomes part OF ourselves and determines our
characters. For this reason we welcome the
signs of censorship of the picture houses, and
join with the leading periodicals OF this coun-
try in insisting that this censorship shall be az
strict as possible.

THE WAY THEY DO 1T IN KENTUCKY.

The Louisville, Ky. Post, in recent editori-
al. throws considerable light upon the political
methods OF the liquor interests of that State.
The editor asserts that rs per cent of the voters
Of that State have for years favored the pas
sage of county unit bill. And yet they have
seen. he asserts, Legislature after Legislature
with a majority Of men before election, pledged
10 the county unit bill, fall subject to some
occult influence exerted by ~ liquor lobby.
and have Incidentally the whole business
Of the State thrown into confusion because of
the. defer,ninoti Of he liquor lobby TO pre-
sent the people from getting 'chot they s0dHt
tltalics ours
The editorial accuses the "whiskey and beer
lobbyists" Of crowding political meetings all
over the State but particularly in Louisville,
and of spending money like water to defeat tho
will Of the people" But this editors opinion Is
that they have "overpIayed their hands" To
quote him. Their arrogance, their insolence.
their threats. have provoked resentment =.
and have alienated many men, who up TO two
months ago did not even favor the county bill
Precisely SO. It's an old story wherever the
saloon has nad loothoid. Inc one sfe11ost
force that has operated to the corruption OF
American politics Is the perncious political &C
tyty Of saloons in public affairs And yet men
constantly declare that the liquor question is
not political one 1t lie so deeply entrenched
In the affairs OF State aud city that the only
way 10 be rid OF it is to put the ban of the bal
iot-box upon It. When shall have refused
the privilege to sell liquor beverage and
shall have found men with nerve enough TO en-
force the laws then, and not until then. shall
we be free from the baneful influence of the
business in public life They do It In Kentucky
Just like they do 1t everywhere else and they
have had their innings long enough. It's time
for American citizenship to come to the bat and
break up the game.
