THE NEW CHARTER.

0NE of the difficulties in considering a new
~ form of city government not only for Will
minpton but for any other city is the fact that
many men, perhaps most of them, through force
of habit look at the question from entirely par
tisan point of view.
Both Democratic and Republican politicians, or
at least many of them, picking flaws in the new
charter. The uppermost question in their minds
is whether the charter, if adopted, would work out
TO place more Democrats or more Republicans in
Office.
We printed letter the other day which took the
point of view that the new charter was merely
scheme of the Democrats to dislodge the Repub-
lcans from control of the city. Some Democrats
think it is a scheme TO keep the Republicans in
power
The vital question, the one that concerns the
masses Of the taxpayers is entirely lost sight OF.
The only point that concerns or should concern
them is can a better and more efficient city gov
ernment be secured by means of the new charter
This is the chief question that should be debated
and not whether this that political control shall
remain or whether some non-essentials which have
not been placed in the charter are of sufficient inn
portance to condemn it.
= American cities are slowly learning to their
great cost that partisan city government is no
more the best kind of government than partisan
control of a corporation is the best kind OF control
There is really difference between private cor
poration and a municipal corporation. Foreign
cities long ago learned that obvious fact. Our
American cities learning it. Memphis, for
example, has proved conclusivey the advantage of
a commission form of government for that city
as a business proposition.
The proposed city charter for Wilmington has
been subjected TO a great deal of criticism. One
would fancy that it had but slight chance of adop
fion but it seems to us that the merits and demer-
its OF the charter should be carefully considered
before forming definite conclusions. Certain il is
that if the charter fails it will be some time be-
fore we can hope to get new one.

COST OF CITY AUTOMOBILES.

II HE authorities of Trenton are considering the
L cost of maintaining automobiles for the use
of city officials. According to Mayor Donnelly
the purchase of 5000 automobile for the Sealer of
Weights and Measures to take the place of the
horse and wagon now in use would mean a saving
of $l75 a year. The expense of the horse and
wagon is estimated at $500 year.
The Trenton Times remarks that the Mayors
estimate is that the automobile can be maintained
at a cost Of fifty cents day, which the Times
thinks is entirely too low and others who have
studied the automobile question will agree with it,
The expense of tires is the chief item, but there
many others cities are finding out the more

DELAWAREs DELEGATION.

- OVERNOR STUBBS, of Kansas, one of the
NJ leading Roosevelt boomers says the Delaware
delegation to the Chicago convention will be di-
vided between Roosevelt and Taft
This will be good news to Colonel Houston and
others who recently joined the Roosevelt forces,
but it is to be very much doubted whether the pre-
diction of the Kansas governor is correct.
If there we're presidential preferential primaries
in the state and vote by counties probably there
would be divided delegation, but under the state
convention system the delegates will be all one
way.

ELECTRICAL SHOW
ENDORSED BY CLUB
COMMERCIAL CLUB ADOPTED
RESOLUTIONS ENDORSING
ELECTRICAL SHOW AT ENeI-
NEERINe BUILDING AT A. c.
THIS EVENING.

The Fargo Commercial club has
adopted the following resolutions en-
dorsing the big electrical show to be
given by the lyceum of engineers at the
engineering building at the A, C. this
evening. A big crowd is expected at
the A. c. tonight and many of the
prominent business men Of Fargo and
Moorhead who are interested in cleo
trical devices will attend. Following
are the resolutions adopted by the
commercial club:
Be it resolved, in as much as the
Lyceum of Engineers of the North
Dakota A. g. is presenting to the
public its first annual electrical show
on Saturday evening, Feb. "a, 1912,
and since they are laboring under adj
verse conditions including suitable
dates while attempting to give this
show during the period of largest en-
rollment at this aforesaid college. be
it resolved that the commercial club
of Fargo, give this enterprise all the
encouragement and advertising pos
sible to enable the financial end of
said show to be a success.
On exhibition at the engineering
building which the engineering facul-
ty have donated, will be found inter-
esting apparatus of all descriptions,
wireless telephones. wireless tele-
graphs, isolated lighting plants lights
Of all kinds, current rectiiers bat
teries Of all kinds including the new
Edison storage battery which the
great inventor has personally sent,
electro plating outfits, medical instru-
ments operated by electricity, free X
ray examination by a competent oper-
ator, Geissler tubes Of many kinds. a
Tesla coil, motor generating sets of
several makes, some Of college con-
~struction, etc, all in operation and
with engineers in charge who will
demonstrate and give information Ia
all inquiries. Many OF the business
and professional men Of Fargo and
Moorhead, have sent large exhibits
out and these will have suitable loca :
tons. The lyceum of engineers GER
tainly appreciate the manner in which
certain of these parties have donated
their apparatus SO freely.
A moving picture show with Ian
tern slides is one Of the features az
this show, and included in the FIRST
cost Of admission is cents. There are
no ~sideshows; everything can be seen
after first payment at entrance.
The x. w. G. A. young ladies viii
present a booth filled with refresh
ments. The engineers will guarantee
that me purity Of said refreshments
conforms TO Professor L.add's stand
ard.
And the engineers hope and have
tried hard, to have the first annua
electrical show ever held here to b
worth while, and appealing to every.
one, both young and old.

MORE LOYALTY
NEEDED IN u. S.
MORE LOYALTY is NEEDED BY
AMERICANS IN PATRoNIzINc
HOME PRooucTs-Too MUCH
SPENT TOWARD FOREIGN PuR-
cHAsEs SHOWN.

The scotchman swears by his
tweeds, and he wears them too, even
though he might be able to get some
thing else that would do better service.
The Irishman and his good wife
glory in the linens from the ooms OF
the green isle, even though other
countries may produce something that
will answer the purpose just as well.
The Englishman is proud of his 10y
atty to his own country. and he wears
English clothing, rides in English au-
tomobiles, and carries his English Gus
toms and wherever he goes.
The Frenchman has no interest In
any art but French art; no Interest in
any silks but French silks; no liking
for any wines but the wines of France.
and no use for any styles but the
styles of France.
The German has such a sound and
strong patriotism for the fatherland.
that he insists upon the products or
his own country, even though he can
get some things from abroad that are
cheaper and better.
The japanese engage foreign en-
gineers and high-class mechanics to
show them how to make and use cum
ming machinery to tighten the toll OF
the workers and cheaper products,
and just as soon as they have learned
all there is to learn, the foreign en-
gineers and high-class mechanics are
sent home and their own countrymen
put in their places, says the automo-
bills dealer and retailer.
How about the citizens of the Unit
ed States? Although they have a
closer relationship with their govern
ment and a greater reason for 10y
atty to their own institutions and
products than any other nation is
there much evidence that such loyalty
exists? Well, here and there we hear
some individual, boast that he wear
homemade clothing and that he uses
nothing that is imported, but such In
stances are so rare that they are Inn
pressive. The prevailing feeling is one
OF pride for things imported" ever
though the homemade may be better
and more suitable.
Americans pay from 25 to so and
even rs per cent duty on things from
abroad when the home products would
answer the purpose Derrer. IN IoC
many instances, even the anC
intonations Of voice of the foreigner
are aped to the point of distress.
There is a better and a more sen
sible way. If people in the United
States cannot produce as artistic o.
high quality and as comfortable things
as can be produced anywhere els,
under the sun, let them flnd out tn,
reason why. If our and ton
of voice are inferior TO anything else
: where let them correct and improv
them, but let them still be Unite,
States.
If American goods made under Am
erican conditions and paid for at tn
American rate OF wages are not goot
enough and cheap enough for Ameri
cans, let Americans either find put tn,
reason why, or leave a country TO
which they are far less loyal than 4
becoming or conducive to progress am
