some other city otherwise equally well
situated?' Grass would soon grow in
the streets; or suppose the roadbed
leading to it was so poor that only
half as good time could be made on it
as to some other city? That would
ruin the city's chance for development.
Or suppose that it could only be
reached at certain times of the year;
then who would do business there ?
These are preposterous statements to
make railrads, but they are the con-
ditions that obtain in the country,
where the expense of hauling is in
many cases two or three times what it
should be, where the road is such that
it often takes two or three times as
long to get to market as it should and
where the roads are not in condition
for hauling loads at all times. "A road
ever which hauling can be done
cheaply, quickly and at all times of
the year will become great factor for
developing that community. 1t will
make possible the doing of many
things that was before out of the ques-
ton, and of doing them better. This
will attract the most enterprising peo-
pie, will build up the community, eco
nomically. educationally, socially and
politically.

GOOD ROADS
CONVENTION

The State Good Roads convention
is being held at jamestown today. The
subjects taken up will include such
as road maintenance, road materials
in North Dakota, good roads legisla-
ton, oiling roads, culvert and bridges,
auto club road maintenance.
The following are some of those
who will take part in the program:
Mr.. Atkins, state engineer: Professors
Dolve and Hard. of the Agricultural
college; Mr.. Hunter, of Grand Forks,
and Professor Chandler, of the State
university.
The Importance Of good roads is, as
a rule, underestimated. They have an
economic, social and a political sig
nificance. for instance, the average
cost of hauling in the United States
is rs cents per ton per acre. while in
Germany it is but cents. This means
in case a person lives six miles from
town and a load consists of ton and
a half is taken to town and similar
one brought back, the trip would cost
about 50 more in the United States
than in Europe; and that is not all.
however, as at times our common
roads are often impossible.
Good roads effect the social condi'
tons in that they make it easier to 60
from place to place, and they effect
the political situation in that the more
people get around the better they are
posted, and as a rule the better the
roads the more reading material comes
to the farmers homes.
The railroads have revolutionized
industry and have greatly modified
social and political conditions. The
railroad, however. cannot reach, to the
individual farm. so the wagon road
must do for the farm what the railroad
has done for the towns and cities.
What would happen to a city if it had
such a railroad that they would have
to charge two or three times as much
for freight and passenger traffic as

Street CARNIVAL COMING.
The Great Cosmopolitan Shows Here
for Week..

JOT VvSSHs
Bismarck is to have a street car
nival. Not little ordinary carnival,
but full Pledged aggregation of clean
interesting shows using over 800 peo-
pie, two brass bands and II separate
attractions that require ~ cars to
carry over the road.
The company have just finished a
very successful engagement in St..
Peter and Moorehead, MIMI, and are
stopping for the week in Bismarck to
break the jump to Butte, Mont, their
next engagement. Mr.. B. T. Harrison,
the manager, says that in deciding as
to the ACCESSIBILITY of stopping in Da-
kQ1e, he visited the village across the
creek and was advised by the people
who see green when Bismarck is
mentioned that business conditions
were not the best. this fact being
visibly evident Re returned to Bis
marck and will open the shows next
Monday, July II.
Mr.. Harrison says Bismarck looks
good to him, and from the reply to an
inquiry sent the city officials of St
Peter, MIMI, the shows will look good
to Bismarck. Clean, attractive and
no Objectionable features" was the re
ply. The Cosmopolitan shows believe
in reciprocity an to that end are buy
ing supplies, electric light current
transportation and drayage, hotel &C
commodations, advertising and spend
ing real money in towns from which
they expect and should receive patron
age.

ton every bill introduced must come
before the House for consideration
on it's merits" the speaker will be
nothing but a moderator, and there
will be no delimitation OF party re-
sponsibilities by a caucus.
With a maximum of 73O days, in
Guiding Sundays and holidays, IN the
life of Congress, what is 1t going to
do with 100000 bills, each Of which
must be considered on it's merits" by
the whole body of the House, without
decisive sitting by committee or ar
rangement for united action through
a caucus?
The French chamber of deputies
at it's most explosive, or the Austrian
reichstrath at its most vociferous, or
the Russian douma in full power of
simultaneous oratory, will then be a
dream of peace compared with the
American House.
One Of two things is bound to hap
pen: Either it will be necessary to
pass about every bill introduced,
which would bankrupt the nation out
of hand, or it will be necessary to
slaughter bills by thousands without
consideration of any kind.
If we didn't care wha% happened to
our country we would welcome the
realization of the Murdoch dream. It
would, in a year, make it about as
easy for an insurgent to get back into
Congress as for Benedict Arnold to
States.-Chicago Inter-Ncean.

WHEN THE CAUCUS Is
ABOLISHED.

The'cause of direct popular govern"
ment is on the march. The direct prl'
maries have come. Tie national po-
litical conventions of 1912 will be the
last wherein nominees will be actu'
ally named. ln'1916 both the leading
candidates will be nominated by d.
rect vote of the people. And along
with that reform will come the aboli'
ton of the congressional caucus as
an institution.-The Hon. Victor Muir
dock of Kansas in a recent speech in
the House.
We are indebted to Mr.. Bryan's
Commoner for calling to our attention
this joyous and prophetic whoop. 1t
is an important article in the insurg-
ent creed that "K.ng Caucus Must
Co."
Well perhaps the prophecy will be
fulfilled and the congressional party
caucus abolished. Experience" said
Poor Richard long ago, lis dear
school, but men will learn in no
other"
But We are sorry for the political
party which shall be responsible for
the government of this country-for
providing for the common defense
and promoting general welfare-for
getting the business of the govern
ment done by it's legislative branch
somehow-when the caucus is abol.
ished
Why are we sorry? Because of Ger.
tain facts:
In each Congress about $4,000 bills
are now introduced lie number is
not decreasing. 1t is increasing. By
1916, at recent rates of growth, it will
be upward of 100000. And there will
then be something over 400 members
of the House. While the activities of
members as bill introducers vary
somewhat, on the average each will
be interested in about 900 bills
With the caucus abolished-with no
sort of binding agreement in advance
as to what a majority will or will not
suprort-it will become the duty OF
eacl. member to wbcop all the time
for his 900 bills-to insist on the con.
sideration of each and 10 procure it's
passage if possible. For he can't 20
home to his constituents and explain
that any groups little bill was killed
in committee. or refused recognition
by the speaker, or failed of caucus
approval.
For in the gladstone days of "di.
rect government that are coming,
representatives in Congress will be
regarded as what the noble Bourne
is wont to call just messengers of
the people," and excuses of that sort
are not accepted from messenger
boys.
