With our city election Dearly two
months Off the political pot is already
beginning to boil. Two tickets in the
field, viz: The Citizens ticket and the
Socislist ticket. 1t is currently report
ed that the republican, who polled
such a small vote at the last election
that thsy can only get on the ballot by
petition this year, will not put upa
ticket being satisfied with the Citizens
ticket which contains five out of SIX
republicans. The democrats have is-
sued no call as yet but it seems certain
that they will In due time nominate
ticket
The Statesman Democrat 10 just
what its name indicates, a democratic
newspaper. Ye editor has all his life
been democrat frorn convictions and
cannot be anything else politically and

supported the cause of democracy and
expects to continue in that course.
This seems hardly necessary for US TO
say, for our course has in the past been
consistent and 80 pronounced for near
ly twenty-five years which wei have
written the editorials of This journal
that everybody knows we can take no
other course. By this we do not mean
to say that we shall in the coming cleo
ton support any man the party may
see iii to nominate. During the cam
paign against the iegalized saloons
lsst spring we stood with the decent,
respectable party against the rum traf-
fic, we yield no man in service to that
cause and we neither haveI any re-
grets of our course nor apologies to Of

day ana expect to so long as we live

are not ready at this time TO believe
that all the good people OF the town
are ready TO flock TO the citizens move

A serious dispute between the coal
operators and their miners is IN prog

and already the price of bituminous
coal has nearly doubled. A miners
strike always puts money INTO the

For weeks there has been waged 3
most resolute and stubborn strike at
the Mills Of the American Wooden
Co, at Lawrence, Massachusetts.
These mills are owned and operated
by the W oolen trust and the Employees
have been demanding a reasonable
compensation, a wage commensurate
with their labor and in measure with
cost of living. Thousands of men,
women and children have been locked
cut aud there has been untold cruelty
and hardship imposed by the trust and
the local civil authorities which appear
to be controlled by the trust.
This trust has written the wooden
schedules of all the tariff bills enacted
and defended by the republican stand
pattsrs for years ostensibly for the
protection of the very laborers whom
they have had locked out and were
trying TO beat and starve into sutmis-
zion and were near succeeding when
Congress took hand in the way of an
Evestigation. Within the past week
the demands of the employees have
been granted and the people have re-
turned to work at the advance de-
manded but from no sense of justice
upon the part of the employers it il
nothing but the white light of public
ity who has exposed the roltenness OF
the tariff protection to labor and the
indefsnsibiity of the wooleu chedule.

gram of great variety, no two
numbers on it being alike, and
a large part of it is owned by
the company and can be given
by no other organization. In
addition to the vocal and in
strumental solos and duets,
readings and musical numbers
in which the whole company
appears, the program includes
several sketches of the COM

Local Dealers viii be Benefited

Grand Forks, Nov. 2O.-With
the inauguration of the parcels
post WHICH goes into effect
January 1st, the local retail
merchants all over North Dakoa
will be given big advantage
over the distant competitor.
Under the zone system in fix
ing the charge on packages
distance plays All important
part. For example a Grand
Forks merchant may deliver a
package, to a resident of the
country district reached by
rural carrier or in the city of
Grand Forks at the rate of tiye
cents for the first pound and
one cent for each additional
pound. This would make the
cost on an eleven pound pack
age, the maximum weight car
ried by parcels post,a total of Is
cents. For Chicago mail
order house to deliver the same
package the charge would be
eight cents for the first pound
and six cents for each addition
al pound. The charge on an
eleven pound package would
be sixty eight cents or a differ
ence in favor Of the local mer-.
chant of fifty three cents. The
same situation exists in every
other city of the state and
should prove an advantage to
all North Dakota merchants.

Citizens Of Bottlneau Went Back to

The people of Bottineau had
an experience Tuesday night
which taught them to more
fully appreciate the electric
light service. About once in
five years it is necessary to put
new smoke stack on the
power plant and arrangements
were made to do this job on
Tuesday. The old stack fell on
the new one and damaged it to
such an extent that it was i'm
possible to get things in shape
to run Tuesday night. As a
result business was suspended
in some places, such as the two
moving picture theaters and
The Courant office. Many Of.
the stores were dimly illumin-
ated by kerosene lamps. There
was general rejoicing when
the juice" was turned on
again Wednesday evening.

BATTLE WITH SLums
Jacob A. RlIs Made a Hlt With His
Lecture on Monday Evening
STORY OF WONDERFUL REFORM
Tends to Encourage Civic Pride
and Activity in Even Small
Towns

Jacob A. Riis, the famous
New York reformer, lectured
here on Monday evening under
the auspices of the Ladies
Lyceum bureau, his being the
second number. on this years
course.
Mr.. Riis spoke on The Bat
tie with the Sums and gave
illustrations with stereopticon
slides. He prefaced his main
lecture with a short talk on
the old home town in Den
mark and showed a number of
very interesting pictures taken
there. He told of his career in
New York, his early struggles
and the development of his in
terest in the tenement question
and in the problem of proper
schools and public play grounds.
The pictures bore excellent
corroborative testimony of the
wonderful reforms that have
been worked in New York.
A large audience enjoyed
every minute of Mr.. Riis' lee
ture and the general opinion is
that they were not only we'll
entertained but we'll instructed
along lines that are possible of
aDDlicatiOn in a small town aS
well as in the big city. 1t was
worth while to bring Mr.. Riis
