Walters and Tips

"A Boston hotel proprietor, in an article contributed to the New York Sun, enters protest against the prevalent notion that the wages of a waiter are insufficient to support him; that the hotel management knows this and depends on the guests to help him out by tipping the waiter" said a travelling man. "The waiter, according to the Boston proprietor, is paid all that his service is worth to the hotel. Were his wage treble what it is the waiter would still 'nunt as hungrily for tips as he does now.

Too Much Dirt on Streets

All loyal citizens rejoice in any evi- dences of prosperity, even the dirt dropped upon paved streets, spilled, as il were. from the car of progress, but there is not enough care shown in loading the wagons" said a Birmingham booster.
 The street cleaning department has all it can do to make even partial clean-up of the streets and alleys The contractors for excavating and for hauling are over loading the wagons with earth and 1t falls off along the streets. Also many or the wagons have loose bottoms that spill all the way to the dumps When this spilled clap is wet by the street sprinkler some of it sticks; when the sun comes out and dries it, the June breezes carry a cloud or red dust everywhere.
 And while am registering mild kick also would like to protest against she unnecessary blocking of the streets with old lumber and trash.

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.

If the Republicans are swept
from power on Nov. 5 because of
their failure to keep tariff prom
Uses. it will not be the first time
that the tariff operated to. the
end against the party of protec-
ton.
During the war the tariff has
been elevated to the skies but
afterwards the Democrats tried
to have it reduced. BY 1880 the
Republicans had to notice the
demand. They promised down.
ward revision but in 1882 passed
a bill making only slight reduce
tons. The public got mad Just
like it was over the Payne-Al-
drich bill and in 1884 elected
Cleveland.
When the Republicans got in
to power again they boosted the
tariff, which had been lowered by
the Democrats. Prices went up.
the rank and file became indig-
nant, and in 1892 again made
Grover Cleveland president.

s,oorsr ISSUE OF AL.

How is. the cost of living re-
duced? This is the most impor-
tant question before the Ameri-
can people. Its solution is more
vital far than the identity of the
next President. IA fi lg<4
Under the present system of
excessive protection, those who
toll are each year finding it more
difficult to make a living, while
the comparative handful of mil
lionaires who chiefly reap the
benefit of this toll spend their
time in idleness and dissipation,
their fortunes meanwhile in
creasing in almost exact proper
ton to the increase in cost of
living.
The result is that many Amer
leans, especially the hardwork-
ing poor, are becoming plainly
Disguised with the way things
are going, Disguised even with
this form of government, and are
turning to socialism.
This feeling on the part of the
wageearner is Simply history re-
peating itself. Extravaganza and
poverty, the history of the world
shows, never made good bed-fel-
lows in republics designed as
cradles of, liberty. 1t is OBJ
vious that the high cost of living
problem should be solved before
the unrest grows greater. The
earlier it is settled, the better for
the republic. Which party will
solve it, the Republican party or
the Democratic party? The Re-
publican theory has always been
that the heavier the tariff tax on
the things eaten, worn or used by
the people, the better for the peo-
pie. The Democratic theory is
that to reduce taxation is to re-
duce prices. The people must
choose between the two policies,
the policy of protection or the
policy of merely enough tariff to
raise sufficient revenue to meet
the actual expenses of the gov

Crop Outlook.

Grand Forks, June 25-Unless
there is adecided reversal in con-
ditions within the next momt.,
North Dakota will show theU. S.
just what she can, do in the wsy
of producing a bumper crop. Nil
ever this great state, reports in
dictate that conditions are almost
ideal. Rain in sufficient guam
ties has fallen in practically
every portion and cool weather
has given the proper opportunity
for young plant development.
North Dakota is one big garden
now, her beautiful green fields
stretch for miles and miles, as
far as the eye can reach and in
every direction.
Speaking of the difference be-
tween North Dakota and the more
western states traversed by the
Special Northwest Development
Congress train, which went to the
coast recently, a number of the
Grand Forks delegation said:
1T did us good when we got
back into North Dakota and saw
the growing crops after we had
been treated to hundreds of
miles of sights of mountains and
lands that were not fit for any
thing. The crops clear through
North Dakota were looking mag
nificent. We felt good when we
began to strike. the. farming
country of North Dakota. 1t was
a great sight. 1t was inspiring
and I for one was glad to get
back in the state again. We
came clear across the state and
many were the complimentary
remarks that were made. The
expression was made several
times that the Almighty had been
mighty kind to North Dakota and
her people,"

Grand Forks, June 25-The
country over, politics holds the
center of the stage just now and
until the national conventions
are out of the way, constructive
work along other lines will have
to wait. North Dakota has at
tracted attention in both party
conventions because of the indi-
viduality Of the msa that make
up her representation. In the
republican convention, the North
Dakota delegation has held the
center of the stage because Of the
bitter blight for the nomination
and OF the need by both Of the
leading candidates for the North
Dakota votes which were in
