PREVENTION OF FIRES.

There was held in the rooms of the
Commercial club last evening a meet
ing of the North Dakota Fire Proven
ton association, which was attended
by great number of Bismarck citi-
zens and business men. Owing to the
large number of fires which have oc-
cured during the past few weeks in
various sections of the state, the num-
Der of special agents of insurance
companies, who are deeply interested
in the work Of fire prevention, was
necessarily somewhat limited. How
ever this did not therefore with the
good results of the meeting. A little
precaution exercised judiciously at a
proper time will often save millions
OF dollars of fire waste. The work OF
the Fire Prevention association is the
education of the people. the dissent
nation of knowledge which, if prop
erly applied, will reduce materially
the great number Of conflagrations
which occur annually, many of which
are preventable 1t is hoped that the
visit of the fire preventers to the
state capital shall not have been in
vain.

There seems to be slight analogy
between the political situations in
the United States and China. In
China, DR.. Sun Vat Sen. president of
the new republic, declares that his
purpose is to establish the new re-
public aid restore peace in the coun-
try. Then he is willing to drop out
of the race, and even suggests that
Premier Yuan Shi Kai may be his sue
cessor. In this country Mr. Taft has
outlined program of legislation
which he is firmly convinced is for
the best interests of the people. He
is intent upon doing what he thinks
is his duty and leaves the matter of
his reelection to the people. While
there is no premier in the United
States who may come back into pow
err, there is one whose position is
analogous. In each nation is a man
who formerly welded supreme influ-
ence, displaced by a man who is act
ing from the courage of his convic-
tons. Is human nature the same all
the world over? We shall see when
new rulers are chosen.

AN INSTITUTION OF TODAY,

In the mind of the average citizen
the Panama canal is but one vast,
visionary project. Few people, save
those who are vitality interested in
the link which will connect the two
oceans, are aware of the fact that only
few months remain before the big
ditch is an actuality. New Years
day, 1912, marked an important epoch
in the construction work. On that
date the engineers announced that 80
per cent of the excavation work was
completed and Is per cent of tho
concrete for the canal locks was in
place. But one-fifth of the work re-
mains to be completed The con-
struction of the canal has been, and
still is tremendous task. When the
first great ship successfully makes
the inaugural trip from ocean to
ocean, Uncle Sam may wipe the sweat
<K homes toll from his brow, and say
with righteous pride, II have accom-
plished one of the greatest achieve
ments of all the ages" As the months
ROW by and the date of the opening
of the new highway of commerce ap-
proaches the people of the United
States will hocOmo mOro and mon,
'cogaizant Of the stupendousness of
the undertaking, which rends asund-
er two great continents, and allows
craft of the ocean, built by hands of
man. to pass between. Is it any
more wonderful that Moses and the
children of Israel should walk be-
tween walls of water through the Red
Sea, than that ships of the ocean
should be made to pass through the
center of hemisphere? The Pan
anna canal is not day dream, en-
veloped in a misty haze of golden
future. 1t is an institution of the
present. Americans should perceive
its reality, and, in spite of political
Affiliations, extend congratulations to
the administrations. and to the com.
petent men, under whose supervision
the great task is approaching compile

missiCners this morning.
1T is true that my proposed candi-

porlunlty to personally consult some
OF my friends over the state before

Now that the present incumbent
p. D. Norton has stated that he will
positively not be candidate for re-
election think the opportunity for me
is favorable. I have lived in North
Dakota good many years, and a
great deal of the time | have been
engaged in newspaper work. l have
always kept in close touch with poll
tics over the state and have cultivated
a wide acquaintance. If the people
will fairly consider what have been
able to accomplish for the state dur
ing the time l have been secretary
for the railroad commission I think
they will fully agree that l will cas-
lily make good secretary of state.

FRENCH and WEIGH
SEE GOOD YEAR
Pioneer Hardware Firm Declare Con-
ditions Favorable for Big Crop.
Well Stocked to Supply Trade
Full line of Modern Machinery.

With conditions favorable for sue.
cessful year. the pioneer hardware
firm of French & WEIGH decided this
morning to tie up with the old reliable
for the year. so Mr. WEIGH, the man.
ager, called the Tribune over and
signed up for twelve-month the ads
which viii. run regularly in the daily
and weekly editions, and will keep
the Missouri Slope people posted on
what's doing in the hardware and i'm
plement line.
Mr.. WEIGH is one of the old timers
in Bismarck, having watched and
helped it grow from village to the
city as it stands today. To him is due
much credit for the great results
achieved by the commercial club dur
ing the past year, in which the city
contributed heavily as did the county
to insure the success of the EXPOSE
ton. To make each Market Day bet
ter than the proceeding day, to make
Bismarck market place for its logi
cal trade territory, and many other
things in loyal boosting for the old
home town. In fitting comparison
the French & WEIGH hardware firm
has grown from small institution to
the commercial magnitude Of now
being one of the largest in the CEN
trail section of the state-carrying in
addition to the regular hardware
lines, an immense stock of farming
implements and machinery. gas trac-
tors, retailers for the famous I. H. C.
lines as we'll as wagons, buggies, har-
ness and a large stock of plumbing
and heating equipment for installing
in buildings or homes.
To such men as Mr.. WEIGH and his
firm who have and are doing much for
digger and better" Bismarck, the

COOPER FOR COMMITTEEMAN.

COOPER FOR COMMITTEEMAN.
Towner News-Tribune: Hon. E. c..
Cooper of Fargo has been suggested
to us as a logical candidate for repub-
lican national committeeman, and
while We have not heard that Mr.
Cooper is interested in politics this
year. we have no doubt but what his
announcement for this position would
meet with general approval
Mr.. Cooper was formerly insurance
commissioner OF this state and made
an enviable record, serving the peo-
pie of North Dakota to the best Of
his ability and doing much to make
the laws governing insurance COM
panies, that are now on our statute
books. North Dakota people could
not find man more capable of filling
the position mentioned, and we hope
that this suggestion will have it's eff
feet.

MORTON COUNTY TAXES.
Auditor Harmon Files Stateme
Showing Big Credit Due His
County.

County.
II. Fl. Harmon, of Mandan, and aud.
tor of Morton county, spent the
! morning with State Auditor Brightbill
in settling up some tax matters be-
tween the state and Morton county
Auditor Harmon has made a complete
statement showing by years the taxes
which have been abated and for
which the county seems to have not
been credited. The completeness of
the report may be more fully under
stood when it is said that it covers
each and every year from 1883 to 1909.
In the abatement of real estate he has
given the description of land, the as.
sessed valuation, the total tax against
the land, the amount of tax, and the
reason for the abatement. The same
information is given with regard to
personal property except that the
name of the person assessed is used
instead of the description.
After having made such a complete
statement as this for each year for
the q years, he also furnished a re-
capitulation from which all of this in.
formation in total may be gained at
a glance. The total amount of credit
asked from the state is no less than
$50 1851. This is to cover taxes
which fer many reasons are not COL
lectable. such as taxes being set
aside by the court, abated by the
county commissioners on wrongful
description or double assessment, the
moving out of town of people assessed
with personal property only, etc. Aud
itor Erightbill says that it is one of
the best and most complete state
ments ever filed with him as tax
settlement.
Auditor Norman also made settle. |
ment with the state for the care of
the insane from Morton and turned
over to the treasury a check for more
than $6,100.00. Up to December 81,
1910. Morton county had only three
patients wrongfully charged to it, and
Auditor Harmon is making claim
against the state for about $4,000 on
account CT these, which amount the
county should not be asked to pay.
