Under the auspices of the local Elk
lodge, the famous colored Jubilee sing
ers will be at the opera house on the
evening of November 18th. They consist
of eight colored sonesters. four male
and four female, the formers being con-
sidered the second best male quartet in
the United States. They recently ap-
peared before an audience in Fargo and
completely enthralled their listeners.
The Tribune w.the Dickinson men
on Wednesday Among the Stark
county representatives here are E. A..
Lillibridge, president of the Slope De-
velopment League for Stark county !;
George Senour, the tall banker of Dick
inson. and C. D. Litch. They + after
something, and show signs of being on
a still hunt. That combination ought
to win out anywhere. Mr.. Lillibridge
was the man who came down here and
made such a fine fight for Stark county
land owners and got a ten per cent re-
duction of taxes for the people down
there. Few men are able to accomplish
what Mr.. Lillibridge has done.
FARGO Forum 20. E. Matthias of the
city OF Dickinson was a visitor to the
city Saturday and yesterday and was a
guest at one Of the hotels. THE crop
in our section is all right said he,
but it is not more than 10 per cent
threshed. Yes, we are needing men out
that way to a considerable extent, but
I cannot say just how many men are
needed to do the threshing. We have
been a loser in the way Of crops out on
the slope for two or three years and we
are doing our best to get this crop har-
vested and marketed. for as the small
boys say, we need the money. The
city Of Dickinson is growing and grow
ing nicely and we are looking forward
o q year Of business"

more the Oregon system is affecting
national affairs in tha, it is gradually
converting the United States senate
into truly representative body.
The Oregon system has become a
national issue and the truth of this
must be obvious to all well-informed
people If 1t is not national ques-
ton why Is President Taft fighting
IL in connection with his campaign
for denomination. Why has he
classed as "neurotics" those who IA
vor such things? Why has Attorney
General Wickersham been denounc-
ing those who favor direct legislation
as 'insensate" folk; why did Secre-
tary Nagel attack the initiative and
referendum in a speech delivered
only yesterday? Why are men like
Woodrow Wilson and Bryan, progress
sive leaders in the democratic party
and men like Roosevelt and La Fol-
lette, progressive leaders in the re-
publican party, espousing the cause
of direct legislation.
AS everyone knows there is very
close relationship in this country be-
tween state and national politics. We
cannot hope for good and wholesome
conditions in national politics with
out first bringing about proper con-
ditions within the states. The Ore
gon system is both state and ma
tional question.
In supporting Taftism and at the
same time upholding the Oregon
system the Oregonian and the re-
publican politicians of this state are
| trying an impossible thing. They
are attempting a horseback tandem
act with the horses going in oppo-
site directions.

TELEPHONE ETIQUETTE.

1t is announced from Chicago that
many of the important western rail-
roads are moving for the adoption of
new rules in the operation of their
telephone systems, and that hereafter
employees who make tart answers to
the public over the wire will be pen
allied saye the Atlanta Constitution.
No such expressions as get off the
wire" ring off," not to mention
others of a more blistering nature,
will henceforth be tolerated.
The reform might well be extend
ed to include all uses of the phone,
whether by public service corporations
individual business houses or indi-
vidual patrons themselves. The mar
velOus spread of the telephone with
in the past few years has given rise
to conditions entirely without pre-
cedent, from the standpoint of social
custom and the personal equation.
Men and women whose conduct and
manners offer the last word in cour-
tesy and gentility in the drawing-room
and even in business, often lose all
grip of themselves once they get at
the phone. The twin facts that one
is not face to face with the other
party and that the conversation has
more or less the screen of anonym-
ity, are not infrequently abused as
palliating the grossest rudeness.
There is, of course. an element of
humor in many of the situations thus
created, with an occasional tincture
of distinct ill-breedng where the
eavesdropper gets in his or her deadly
work. And since the telephone, like
all other devices of human origin, is
by no means perfect, there are mo-
ments when evaporation appears tc
call for the nearest approach to pro-
family the well-brought-up individual
allows himself.
But if We are TO get the greatest
efficiency out of the now established
Instrument for communication, it is
well to remember that courtesy will
facilitate business here no less than
in face-to-face dealings with the
world. The temper, inflamed langu-
age and selfishness wasted upon the
telephone is a definite deterrent tc
getting the best results from it
When you have to use the wire il
does no harm to bear in mind that

A NATIONAL ISSUE ALSO.

Anxious to uphold President Taf;
and at the same time carry approval
of the oregon system on its other
shoulder the Portland Oregonian says
the oregon system is entirely a
state matter. 1t is not a national
issue"
But it is national issue also. The
initiative and referendum, the direct
primary. recall and presidential pref
erence primary make up the Oregon
system. Those things are at issue in
the fight for both the republican and
democratic nominations for presi-
dent They will be at issue in the
presidential campaign this fall. From
indications the Oregon system
though it may not be called by that
name in the campaign-will be the
cne great thing around which the bat
tie will be waged.
Though direct legislation and di-
rect nominations are provided for by
state laws such laws have a bearing
also upon national affairs. The en-
actment of those reforms means the
overthrow of state machines and the
unhorsing of the bosses. The chief
benefits resulting therefrom may be
Of state concern, but national politics
too becomes greatly bettered by the
process. The national bosses work
through the state bosses. If the state
bosses are unseated the nationa
machine is crippled. That this is true
is strikingly illustrated this year. II
preparing for the convention the ma
tional leaders find they face a new
situation in many states. In a host
OF states the old party machines have
been battered and because of the di-
rect primary have lost their old time
usefulness. In a half dozen states
or more the presidential preference
primary law is now in force and in
those states the old time machines
have been almost abolished Further

THEY SHOULD GO SLOW.

Pendleton had another auto acci;
dent yesterday and follow so quick
ly upon the heels of the unfortunate
accident in which Carl Guiot, the blind
musician was run down on Court
street, it should tend to bring about
greater observance of the speed or
dinance within the business section
Under the ordinance auto drivers are
required to go slow and keep their
machines under control. That ordi-
nance should be more rigidly enforc-
Ell because it is a measure that looks
more than anything else to the pro-
lection of women, children, the in
firm and aged.

minute. He sat first in one room and
then in another, hoping for company.
Finally it seemed as if the very silence
of it all would make him scream. He
was plunged in big chair in the
lounging room which was quiet as the
grave, when his sponsor at the club
came in.
He touched the New Orleans man
on the shoulder and said:
II say, old chap; will you have a
drink"
The New Orleans man jumped up
grabbed his friend by the arm and
shouted:

DRIVEN TO DRINK.

The Union club of Cleveland. Ohio,
is a large and imposing structure. AT
luncheon time it is one of the most
popular places in the city, but at
night it is about as gay as the House
of Usher.
A man from New Orleans in Cleve-
land on business, was given a card
to the club by a friend. He didn't
know a person in Cleveland except
his sponsor. Naturally he was lonely
and naturally he went up to the Union
club at night to see if he could find
company. Nobody was there but the
servants. He wandered about in the
