Who Pays the Cost

Who stands the cash? Who pays
the bills? Who feeds the drunkard's
children? Who provides for the
drunkard's broken--hearted wife?
Who supports the beggarly tramps,
who, having wasted their money in
drink, wander about the country?
Who repairs the losses caused by the
failure of Incorporate merchants and
reckless and half intoxicated business
men? Who makes good the damages
caused by the blunders of drunken
workmen and the h%indrance of business
caused by the sprees of Incorporate
employees? Who pays for the railroad
wrecks caused by drunken conductors
and engineers? Who builds the
asylum where the crazy drunkards are
kept? Who supports the idiotic
children of drunken parents? Who
pays the attorneys and juries and
judges to try drunken criminals?
Who pays the expenses of trials and
commitments and executions OCCASION
Ell by the crimes If drunken men?
Who pays for the property destroyed
and burned by drunken men? Who
builds and supports almshouses,
which but for drink might remain un.
occupied? Who endures the suffering
and losses and brutality which are
due to the recklessness and insanity
of drunken husbands and fathers?
Who pays for the inqu SIS held on
drunkards found dead b! he wayside?
Who pays for a pauper's coffin and
digging a d%runkard's grave in the
p"tter's field, when the last glass has
been drunk?
Who pays the bills? The drunkard
cannot, for he has wasted his SUBJ
stance in the cup. Will the rumsell-
err pay them? The fact is. you and l.,
the sober Industrious, toiling portions
OF the community must meet all these
bills. The drunken rowdy, wounded
in the street fight is cared for in the
City hospital at our expense; the
drunken beggar is fed from our table;
his hungry children come to our door
for bread, and we cannot refuse as
s%istance to his suffering wife; and
when at last, having wasted his sub
stance in riotous living, he comes to
the almshouse, the asylum, the hospi-
tai or the prison, honest, sober, tenn
perate men pay the bills for support
ing him there. There is no escaping
it. We may protest, we may grumble
at taxes, and find fault with beggars,
but ultimately and inc vitality we must
foot the bills.

Yes, but you did my dear.

The Walsh County Record, in
the following editorial published
recently. shows conclusively that
the North Dakota farmer who
votes for the Democratic candi-
date for president this fall will
be voting ag ainst his own inter
ests. Read it.
North Dakota farmers are dis
gusted with Taft because of his
fight for reciprocity. They feel
that he was not the friend of the
agricultural interests and that
he was working solely in the in
terests of the eastern manufact-
urer. We take that same view
ourselves. When, however, it
comes to voting the Democratic
ticket in order to get even with
Taft, what is the result to be?
To vote for Wilson will be to vote
for Il man who believes in the
theory of free trade, or as near
that idea as it is possible to get
and still raise revenue for the
general government. If Gov.
Wilson is elected president there
will undoubtedly be a Demo
cratic congress elected and then
we can expect the Democratic
theory OF free trade or tariff for
revenue only to be given the
right Of way and speedily en-
acted into law. Such action will
Snrely result i'm the abolition of
all duties on grain, beef, pork
and other food stuff, the very
things we in North Dakota raise
and sell. Taft's program was t"
effect a reduction OF grain duties
by the reciprocity route. and his
failure vas due to the refusal OF
Canada to acqniesce. The
demo cratic plan will lie to alb
snluteIy strike down all duties
on food products, and this will
only require a Democratic con.

BERTHA REINAN's BRAVERY
Lost Her Life Trying to Shield He
Mother from Her Murderous
Steufather

New York, Jan. Bertha Reinan,
aged fourteen years, showed herself to
be of the mould that heroines are cast
in, when she gave her life to save that
of her mother yesterday. receiving two
bullets intended for Mrs. Martha Benz.
The shots were fired by the woman's
husband, George Benz, salesman.
They took effect in the child's head.
and she died almost instantly. Benz
fed the house and was caught later on
by the police and held without benefit
Of bail.
Benz is a salesman for large whole
sale house. He and his wife have been
separated for several months. Yester-
day morning he went to their apart
ments uptown, but not finding them at
home, waited for them in the hallway.
There Mrs. Benz and Bertha found him
when they returned from making some
New Years calls. Benz tried to effect
a reconciliation with his wife, but she
refused to live with him. He pulled a
revolver.
81 will kill you and end this thing
right now" he snarled.
With shrek Bertha threw herself
between them, as Benz leveled the re-
vo1ver at Mrs. Benz's heart The re-
volver spoke twice and the two bullets
crashed into the child's head. She
sank to the floor and Benz fed.
In the streets several men pursued
him and a block distant he ran into
the arms Of policeman. and was taken
TO Jail

PERNICIOUS FEATURE OF
THE FREE TEXT BOOK PLAN

The Star highly approves of the fol-
lowing from the Miami Metropolis:
One of the candidates for state super
in tendent of public instruction, Col. \.
NJ. c. Russell, who for many years has
been identified with the educational
work Of Florida, is making his race
primarily on his advocacy Of free text
books for the children of the state and
il is possible that the word free" will
succeed in securing him the support
of the less intelligent number of the
voters of the state.
Col. Russell is sincere in his ad-
vocacy Of the measure because he is
sincere in everything, but the county
school boards of Florida are already
permitted to provide free text books
if they care to and in three counties of
the state the plan has been tried with
little satisfaction. In some counties,
too-probably in all the counties of
neutrality-suspicious. is made by the board
of public instruction to provide text
books for all children financially una
bic to secure them, making the free"
text book proposition a rather unnec-
essary one from the money stand
| point
There is another standpoint, however,
that should be given first considera-
| ton and that is the practice of hand
ing down textbooks from grade to
grade that accompanies the free text
book system in places where it is used.
We have seen biographies piled high
| er than your head. dog-eared and germ
| infested that one fifth reader class
after another had used until the last
room full of children that were COM
PEELED to use the repulsive looking
books, hated geography most fervent-
ly-and naturally.
1t is bad enough for little brothers
and sisters TO have to use battered up
books that the older ones have fraz-
zled the learning out of, but it is a
whole lot worse for a clean-handed
| little fellow to start a new year at
school with a collection OF books that
have been handled by the Lord knows
who and how.
Curious as it sounds, we believe that
the public schools are designed for the
education of the children and any
thing for the sake of the peoples
pocketbook that is saved at the ex-
pense of the educational phase Of the
situation should not be countenanced
| Free text books sound we'll but the
| better plan would be for every county
| in the state TO be compelled to adopt
/ the plan of providing school supplies
| for all children who come from fam
| lilies unable to provide them and give
parents the privilege of buying for
each little son and daughter a set OF
| brand new books, clean and shiny and
! inspiring, to be their very own"

we have all the fluid we need right IN
der US, and the Star Is informed that
there are ways and means of making
il just as soft and pure as that drawn
from any natural supply can be The
Star doesn't vouch for this informa
ton II hasn't seen the plan worked
out, but Il it is practicable it Will GER
tainly be the proper one TO follow.
First, on account Of the expense; sec
ond, on account of certainty and Sc
curity. If we draw water from a dis
lance, We can never be sure, as big
ger cities have found TO their sorrow.
that the source isn't contaminated, or
that some accident Will not cut il off.
As long as we have our water supply
right here under our own hands. we
will know what ii is and what It will
do.
As for the question Of buying the old
plant or building a new one, the Star
thinks that 1t will be best for the city
to buy, If the water company is reas-
enable, and then improve the plant. It
is almost certain that the water COM
pany will sell at figure that will
make it TO the advantage of the city
to buy rather than incur the immense
expense of moving its property. There
"stung" in such a transaction. There
are plenty of men competent to put a
fair valuation on the old plant, allow
ing for deterioration; and if an agree
ment can be reached the city can take
possession Of it and improve it to meet
its needs much more quickly and
cheaply than it can put up plant of
its own.
The Star therefore favors the city
buying the old plant and putting in a
water softening apparatus. It's ad-
vocacy Of this plan is contingent on
the water company being reasonable
and a Understanding machine being
what it's advocates claim for II. These
are matters for the citizens and the
council to calculate in public spirit and
decide on what is best for the general
good

THE CHINESE REPUBLIC

\ republican form Of government in
China would be an absolute failure
and would be a calamity 20 the Chi
nese nation. according TO Prof. W. G..
Bateman of the Imperial University at
Tien Sin, who has arrived at his home
in California after being driven out of
China as the result Of the revolution.
The people in China are more ig-
norant than we Americans realize"
said Professor Bateman. Their con-
dition is simply awful They are in
no condition to govern themselves
What the professor says may be
true, but how are the Chinese ever to
learn TO govern themselves unless they
begin at some time to try.
