Dental society last night 1t was de-
cided to adopt the rule Of closing all
Saturday afternoons during the hot

opinion as to the merits Of the ef-
forts of the players. The business
men at this fea st of music and good
things to eat evinced beyond a doubt
that they are willing to help develop
organizations calculated to assist the
cause Of music anywhere, everywhere.

Squires Of the state university spoke

joyed in Grand Forks, giving en-
comium to Prof. Lampert for his eff

done much in the progress made in
the patronage of serious musical en-
deavor in Grand Forks in the past
few years. He then introduced Prof.
Lampert. who thanked the CONNER
cial club for its efforts in behalf Of
the musicians and music lovers of
the city, declaring that the principa,
aim Of his orchestra is to cultivate a
taste for the best music.

cHINA's CHANGE.

The Chinese throne has been abdi-
Gated. All Of which goes to prove that
the world really "do move" A few
years ago If any one had been making
a. book on which n OF the mon
aEchies would be last to be changed
to a republic-China would have been
the longest shot. A.
Tor centuries China has been re-
garded as more than Philadelphia in
its soporiferousness. Centuries ago it
was the lead of civilization. nvesti-
cations disclose that most Of the
things the people regard as new
were once common with the Chinese.
Years Of reaction and decadence re-
suited in the decline of The race till it
gained an international reputation for
the lack Of ambition and energy on the
part Of its people.
There has come a change. From the
little information obtainable from the
country Of mystery-one is inclined to
be startled by the suddenness of the
transition-but the underlying causes
have been apparent to careful OBJ
servers for years.
From one of the most abject mon
arches to a real republic is a long
jump. 1t will not be made withant
difficulty and the new government will
not at nee operate smoothly. Ii re-
quires no prophet to predict that China
stiiI has a lot Of trouble in sight. But
if the other powers will agree there
shall be no division Of China and safe
gpard and protect the new government
there is no reason why the republic
will not succeed.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

These gentlemen are frequently re-
ferred to as county "dads"-because
Of their somewhat paternal duties for
The rest of the taxpayers.
The office of county commissioner
while by no means igh-salaried-is
decidedly important. A competent
set of officials can WELD a great in
fiuence for good. BY intelligent meth
DDS great sums can not only be saved
for the counties-but the value Of farm
lands can be greatly advanced by the
Improvement of roads and other things.
The commissioners are the "manag-
srs" of county affairs. AS in other
lines-able and competent management
gets results.
The annual meetings should result
ia a great deal of good. One of the
chief benefits will be the tendency
toward uniform methods over the
State. The addresses and exchanges
Of ideas will be educational-and the
commissioners are to be congratulated
on the excellence of the programme
arranged for their instruction and en-
tertainment.

THREE-FoURTHs vERDIcTs.

Ohio has decided to amend her con-
stitution so the verdict of three
fourths Of the jurors in a case will be
decisive. Following the example of
newer western states, the buckeyes
have taken this advanced step.
North Dakotans have discussed it
from time to time but no definite ac-
ton has ever been taken on the mat
ter. Instead Of defeating justice-the
plan will aid 1t. Nine men are GER
tainly more likely to be right than
three. If the evidence is Of a nature to
convince nine of the twelve iu-
rors-it mus be sufficiently conclusive
basis for a verdict. The three fourths
proposition will prevent some Stub
born, bull-headed man from tying up
the jury for hours-or from bringing
in a disagreement. 1t will prevent the
numerous cases of retrials and expedite
court business to an extent that may
prevent some of the criticism now
made on the courts and their methods.

INTEREST in

In his annual report to Secretary
Wilson, Or. a. G. True. the director Of
the office of experiment stations, deals
interestingly with the work OF irriga-
ton in which he says: THE wide
spread interest in irrigation. the large
sums expended in securing water sup
plies, the rapid settlement Of lands
and the great agricultural develop
ment under irrigation enterprises have
necessitated the expenditure of much
more time and funds in furnishing
information to prospective settlers and
in extending timely aid to those who
are endeayoring to establish homes in
the reclaimed portions Of the arid
lands of the west. The number Of In
quiries from eastern people for in
formation concerning agricultural
conditions in the different sections OF
the west has increased more than 40
per cent during the year. This de-
mand has been so great hat it has
been necessary to have reprints Of
nearly all the bulletins OF both the
practical and state series described
in former reports. During the year
three additional bulletins of the state
series have been published, leaving
but five of the arid and semiaTid
states that have not been covered.
THE thousands OF settlers who have
settled on irrigated lands during the
past three years are for the most part
ignorant OF irrigation practice and
methods, and both the most recent
settler and the pioneer irrigator are
continually confronted with new prob
lens. To assist both the old and the
new settlers. agents have been main
tanned throughout the entire year in
ten of the western states, and in three
others during the spring OF 1911.
These agents devoted a large part OF
their time to travelling from place to
place in their respective states collect
ing data, studying conditions, giving
practical advice to irrigators, con-
sulting with the officers of irrigation
enterprises regarding the Improvement
Of methods. and addressing farmers
meetings upon practical irrigation
questions. The work of the agents has
been supplemented to a large extent
by the bulletins and circulars Of this
office and the farmers bulletins of
the department, three additional bull
letins and two circulars having been
issued during the past year"

IsrEpHENsoN,s ExoNERArloN.

Things appear to be breaking badly
for LaFoHette. Rabid utterances of
his public addresses. a physical break
down and the consequent desertion Of
his banner by thousands of insurgents
owe the west were recent events On
top of this comes the exoneration of
Senator Stephenson Of wisconsin
against whom LaFollette has concen-
trated all the bitterness of his intense
nature-despite the fact that at one
time Stephenson was his benefactor
and backed LaFolIette till the latter's
political advancement became possible.
BY a vote of eight to FIVE the senate
committee says Stephenson is not
guilty of bribery in securing his cleo
ton to the u. s. senate. incidentally
a way of evading the much-vaunted
primary election laws has been shown
and the falsity Of the claim that the
primary is the panacea for all political
Ills is amply demonstrated.

M'cAsE MIGHT QUIT.

Solicitor McCabe Of the department
Of agriculture may not be responsible
for all the troubles in that department
but he is certainly a storm center.
1t appears that he is involved in al
most every rumpus that is created.
1t seems peculiar that a man-so
much in the limelight in such an OBJ
jectionable manner-should be retain
ed in the position. There must be some
other attorneys who can fill the legal
requirements without having the quail
tiles which makes McCabe's connec-
ton with the department rather no
torious.
