FOR A FLYEESS CITY.

Efforts are to be made in Worces-
ter, Mass, to completely rid the city
of houseHies. There they have started
a "fyless city" campaign.
Probably the officials and citizens of
Worcester will not be able altogether
TO get rid of the housedy-but they
will accomplish a great deal of good
just the same
Fargo should now take up the fight
against the fly. The health DEPART
ment should move theoretically in an
effort to solve the garbage problem be-
fore the warm weather sets in. HEAPS
of refuse are prolific breeders of flies
The only way to minimize the housefIy
evil is to destroy the feeding and
breeding places of housefies.
If every man and woman in Fargo
would join in an effort to rid the CITY
Of flies, as far as as it NAV be DOS
sible to do so-there would not be
many flies in this community durinp
the summer months. There wouId be
less sickness in consequence-for flies
spread disease. Flies scatter typhoid
and other ailments. They are unclear
and sometimes they are deadly.
Soon the days will begin to get
warmer, and flies will begin to swarm
where there is filth for them to feec
on. Guard against the housefy.
Where there is no filth there will b,
no fiies--for flies feed and live on filth
Clean UP the place and keep it clean.

1t is said that whistling is now a
fad in Washington society among the
women. The pessimists, who have
been unable to shock the country with
their walls over the terrible deteriora-
ton of the race caused by cigarette
smoking among women, will now have
fresh outlet for their vociferous
calamity outbursts. And as a result
the women will as long as it pleases
them keep on whistling.

who worked for the councilman from

take a great deal of interest in the
mathematics Of the situations.
Later the old gentleman became too
old to work and did odd jobs about
town. One day Mr.. Jardine asked
him to do a little withdrawing, which
the old fellow gladly did.
Now how much do l owe you,
John?" asked Jardine when the job
was completed

PROMOTION OF WOMEN.

Still another high office has been
won by a woman-and the post has
been awarded her on grounds as far
from those Of chivalry of favoritism
as possible.
Miss Daisy Ogden has been made
division passenger agent Of the Chi
cago Burlington & Quincy railroad
her territory to extend from Water
town, H.. to Bettendorf. la.
Miss Ogden has won her way to the
new position by the simple process of
faithfully performing the duties of a
minor post in the same field. It may
be conceded that her promotion has
been made because her superiors be-
lieve she will perform the duties as
signed to her a little better than they
would have been performed by any
other available person.
In view Of this woman's advance
ment, the talk OF woman's narrow
sphere becomes largely meaningless.
The work of the world calls so imper-
atively for expert doing that the right
individual-either woman or man-will
always find the doors open.
The employer who entertains a pre-
JUDGE against women employees, in
| tasks which may be performed with
dignity and intelligence-merey stands
in his own light.
There is a vast difference between
| the employment OF girls and women in
| unsuitable places, merely because they
can be induced to work for less than
men demand-and the offering of OPP
/ portunities to women with special abil-
tiles, in proper fields-and on an equa
basis with other employees.

Grafton Record We are surprised
to note that The Hamilton Indepen-
dent favors the ratification of the
Canadian reciprocity treaty. Just
why a country paper published in a
strictly rural community in the Red
river valley should hold brief for the
millers and manufacturers is beyond
our ken. The treaty may be OF benefit
to the Canadian agriculturist and the
manufacturers and millers of our
large centers of population, but it is
directly aimed at the farmers of North
Dakota who are the support and main
stay of the country newspapers.
Brother Wood better wipe off his
glasses and take another look at that
treaty and its provisions before he
gives it another boost.

st. Thomas Times: North Dakota's
constitution has been in force since
October 1889, and has been amended
but slightly. 1t is a cumbersome docu-
ment and to be adopted to present
| conditions should be amended in many
particulars. The system of amending
the constitution requires so much time
! that little relief can be expected from
amendments and the practical way of
righting the difficulties would be the
calling of a constitutional convention
for the purpose of erecting a new con-
stitution. Representative Frame has
! introduced a bill in the house which
provides that the question of calling
constitutional convention be sub
mitted to the people at the next gem
eral election, and If a majority favors
the movement then the Thirteenth
| Legislative assembly is to be charged
with the details of districts, elections,
time, etc. We believe the bill good
one. 1t will let the people decide for
| themselves the question, and will set
at rest for years the question of
whether the state shall have con-
stitutional convention or not. We
trust the bill will receive the sanction
of the present legislature.
