A citv is like an individual or a cor
poration; its growth and development
depends to a very large extent upon its
ambition, says an exchange. If it is
satisfied with a limited growth, it will
remain small and incomplete. If, on
the other hand, it is ambitious and
wide-awake, if it has energy and in
itiative, if it makes the most Of its OPP
portunities and where there are a few
opportunities proceeds to make more,
then it must grow. In speaking of a
town, we must necessarily mean the
citizens of the town. They make up
the community and determine its future.
The view point of the citizens and their
energy and brains, initiative and ambi-
ton or the lack of those qualities
determine the city's future. The res
possibility therefore, comes home to you
and to me. For it is the sum total of
community ambition that means growth
and development or the reverse for the
city.

The "Mjkado.s

Most people outside Japan are wont
to speak Of the "mikado," but really
that title is obsolete. The japanese
never use that appellation themselves,
and they do not like others to do 10.
Educated Japanese speak Of their sov
ereign as 'shnojo sama." and the or
binary folk term him 'tenshi sama."
'sTanno' is the title used in all omcial
DOCUMENTS. and for the foreigner the
most correct form ID ~"kotei"-that ID,

Merftm Election

IL SIOSL1011
Treasurer C. R. Kositzky in Burleigh
county as a member of the board OF
commissioners marked the close OF one
of the most desperate political ballots
ever fought in the state for a minor
Office. 1t started in the primaries and
ended when the polls closed November
5-the corrupt practice law being en-
tirely disregarded. Certain interests
in Burleigh county, which have been
accustomed to control politically jointly
the county of Burleigh and the city of
Bismarck were arranged against
Kositzky and every %artifice known to
unscrupulous politicians were brought
into play to defeat him. The real
trouble started over two years ago
when Kositzky was serving his first
term as county treasurer. Kositzky
formed a habit of delving into the old
records around the county building and
he naturally found many things of a
suspicious nature and he commenced to
talk and tell the people what he found
and what he thought was o right.
He found among other things that the
Bismarck Water Works, owned by
Alex Mckenzie, and property belong
ing to Ed. Patterson, who vas county
commissioner and also member of the
CITY commission, was escaping taxation
or assessed at a ridiculousls low valua-
ton and that taxes were not being paid.
Efforts to quiet kositzky were made,
but Kositzky contended that he had
done nothing wrong officially and that
he had nothing to fear-so threats and
browbeating failed. One thing brought
out another and gradually the circle
involved grew and sides We're being
taken and the fight was on in earnest
from both sides the inside "a being
revealed and Burleigh county taxpayers
commenced to learn how they had been
m~isgoverned and defrauded for years.
Kositzky was dubbed 1.-The taxpayers
watch dog and differences led up to a
personal encounter between him and
Ed. Patterson. Kositzky was fighting
for right and for justice and those who
opposed him We're fighting for graft
and for wrong. In the campaign just
closed columns and pages of certain
Bismarck newspapers We're given over
to Kositzky in an effort to belittle and
besmirch him in hopes of defeating him
for county commissioner-he vas tried
and convicted of every crime imaginable.
But the people had the final say and
their verdict was that Kositzky had
made a good fight for their cause and
they rewarded him by election to the
Office he sought.
This fight in Burleigh county has
been watched from every part Of the
state. Its bitterness has attracted at
tention. The way it has terminated
is a victory for the taxpayers and for
good government. The result in Bur-
leigh county will be a stimulus and an
| incentive to men in office to do right.
1t has proven conclusively that tax
payers are awakening to their rights
and that they will recognize as a merit
deeds of men in office when performed
in their interest. The time is drawing
near when taxpayers will scrutinize
u closely the acts of their public servants
6 and men in office will be held to strict
accounting.
Mclean county's official family needs
Kositzky.

A MUSICAL EVENT
Opening of the New Pipe organ
in the Church OF the Good
Samaritan

The formal opening Of the new pipe
organ recently installed in the Church
of the Good Samaritan, occurred Mon
day evening. At the request OF The
Herald. DR.. Harold L. Lamb wrote
the following account Of the event:
THE new organ was heard to its
best advantage in the hands OF the
rector, Rev. S. l.. Mitchell, who pre-
sided at the keyboard. The instru-
ment embraces wide variety OF ef-
feet for one so relatively small The
main body of tone IS obtained in the
principal and diapasOns. The always
pleasing string effect is given by set
of aeolian pipes, while the trumpet
and fifteenth add unusual brilliancy,
the entire manual being we'll sup
ported by rich pedal bourbon. The
pipes are we'll voiced and in volume
the organ amply meets the require
ments of the building. The case of
the instrument is constructed in the
mission style of oak finished in dark
brown and gives a substantial support
for the bourbon and lower diapason
pipes which appear eXteriorly.
1.-THE program comprising ten num-
bers was we'll selected and not only
demonstrated the possibilities Of the
organ but as we'll the preeminent
ability OF the organist. Especial
mention must be made of three num-
bers, the transcription of the familiar
hymn "Ortonville,' and the closing
number, double one by Cadman,
both of which brought out most fully
the beauty of this king of all
musical instruments, w h lie the
march of the Silver Trumpets" dem
onstrated it's capacity. The opening
number of the program was rendered
by the church choir. Mrs. Mitchell,
| i'm her usual artistic manner, sang the
solo "Hold Thou My Hand" which
added much to the pleasure of the oc-
casion.
sThe evening was rare musical
treat to an audience of Sank Centre
music lovers which more than taxed
the seating capacity of the church.
The presence of this pipe organ in
our city reflects great credit on the
enterprising rector and his parish.
