DEMOCRATS
GREATLY PLEASED
LOCAL DEMOCRATIC LEADERS
ARE GREATLY PLEASED WITH
WILSON'S APPOINTMENTS THAT
HAVE BEEN SO FAR AN.
NouNCED.

An expression OF satisfaction has
been heard among the local demo-
cratic leaders over the appointments
that have been made by President
elect Wilson, which have thus far
been announced. All OF them are feel
ing greatly encouraged over the pros
poets for former Governor Burke's
political future and think an an
nouncement will soon be made from
the New Jersey capital that will
please every North Dakotan.
The only confirmed announcement
of any of the president-elect's ap-
pointees is that of secretary to the
president who will be Dudley Field
Malone, son-in-law Of Senator O'Gor-
man, Junior senator from the empire
state. This announcement appeared
in The Chicago Examiner, in which
Malone's formal acceptance of the
position was printed. His appoint
ment has met with the general APP
probation Of the democratic party
over the country and particularly
among the local democrats.
A press dispatch from Trenton,
which appeared at the same time in
The Cincinnati Enquirer, The New
York Sun, The Chicago Tribune and
The Chicago Record Herald, states
IHdI ~ udS DGSn uHOIlCldlly given OUT
from the governors Office at the New
Jersey capitol, that William Jennings
Bryan win be rendered the Office of
secretary of state in the cabinet. The
commoner's many ardent followers in
North Dakota viii be greatly pleased
to learn of this news.
Representative Palmer of Pennsyl-
vania, according to the same dis
patches. is to be rendered the secre-
taryship of the treasuary. And it is
understood, so the advices continue,
that former Governor Dix Of New
York will be offered the post of secre-
count of his familiarity with the large
commercial and labor problems of the
east gained through his experience as
chief executive of New York during
the last two years.
The first appointment that will
probably be made, outside of the
cabinet, after Governor Wilson steps
into the White House, will be to fill
the ambassadorship of st. James,
made vacant by the recent death OF
Whitelaw Reid, The same dispatches
declare the president-elect will send
the name of Judson Harmon. former
governor of Ohio, to the senate for
this post. Former Governor Harmon
has just concluded a visit with Cover
nor Wilson at Trenton, it is
ed, and this is believed to have been
the purpose of the conference.
For the first time the eastern papers
seem to have given serious considera-
ton to the application of the friends
of former Governor Burke for the lat
ter's appointment to an important
post. From the press comment that is
being made, it is taken as an indica-
ton that the former democratic
flickertail executives name is receiv-
ing every consideration at Trenton.

paper. They are quite an increase on
the powers of former years and among
the powers which are given to the COM
mission is that of the ordering of the
abandonment of thosoughfares when
such abandonment will DC TO advan-
tage in doing away with grade cross
ings. 1t is said quite a number of or
ders under this power of the commits
sion will be issued during the next year
as it is claimed there are number of
grade crossings which can be easily
abolished if the thoroughfare is de-
waited somewhat from its present
route. This power will be of more use
In the country than in cities.
Another power which has been
placed with the commission is the right
to change the routes of railway com
panies in cities. This power also is
granted with view of future change
Of routes in municipalities to terminals
with the idea that with the power the
commission will be in a position to
order changes which will permit of the
location of stations il more convenient
localities and also possibly the devil
alton of the railway right of way so as
to remove it from congested portions
.of municipalities.
The changes in the railway commits
sion law in the way of giving addition
al powers to the commission have been
more numerous at the present session
of the legislature than at any previ-
Gus session in many years and the
powers conferred on the commission
have been more material in character.

The commission named to settle the
damage claims arising out Of the con
struction of the trunk sewer has been
successful in making adjustments salts
factory to all concerned in all but Two
cases but as these two cases seem likely
to get into the courts the final settle
lnent is likely to be postponed for some
time yet, The contractors on the sewer
are naturally anxious to have the city
surrender the money held back to meet
these claims offering to give bond in
place of the cash, but some of the al
dermen are in favor of hanging on to
the cash until it is certain that the city
cannot be held liable in any way. The
city would be in much safer position
if the wishes of these aldermen prevail
and the city retains the money until the
contractors can show that every single
claim has been adjusted. 1t is posi-
bic for situation to arise where the
city might be forced to sue 10 recover
on any bond given whereas if it holds
on to the money it is absolutely safe
no matter how the expected law suits
come out.

PLAN A BALL PARK.
Directors of Old Settlers Club May
Make Additions to Grounds at Lake

The directors of the Old Settlers club
met on Friday afternoon at the grounds
at Paddock's Lake to make arrange
ments for the annual reunion of the
club to be held the last Thursday in
August. The most important question
to come before the officials was plan
for the building of ball park on the
lot just across the road from the pavil-
ion. The plans including fencing in
some four acres of land and the build
ing of suitable grandstand to take
care of the crowds. While the invest
ment is not expected to be a profitable
one it is thought that the park would
aid materially in increasing the receipts
of the club at the annual reunion. The
planning of the ball park was referred
to a committee to secure estimates and
formal action will be taken at the next
meeting Of the board.
Invitations to deliver short addresses
at the reunion were extended to Attor-
ney James Cavanagh, Prof. Otis l.. Ire
nary and w. T. Marlatt.

number were sent to other corrective
institutions in the state.
The report showed that during the
year the patrol wagon was sent out
1865 times.
The police recovered S. stolen b
cycles in the year, stolen property to
the value of $2s67 was recovered and
there is still to be accounted for prop
erty stolen to the value of 1926. Fifty
three lost children were picked up and
returned to their homes and 81 horses
we're cared for during the year. 153
animals were killed by the police Off
GERS in the twelve months.

ment showed fees and fines to The
amount Of $4294.1S collected and turned

The chief holds that the city Lookup
saved the city in fees $500 during the
year.
Announcement was made that the au.
tomobile patrol wagon would be ready
to put into service by the first of
September and it is thought that this
will materially decrease the operating
expenses of the department.

LAW BREAKERS ARE CROWDED
Annual Report of the Department Gives
Many Interesting Statistics of Work
Done During the Year just Closed
Large Sum Earned for City in Fees.

Law breakers in Kenosha are crowd
ing the city out of house and home and
Chief of Police Owen O'Hare in his
annual report just filed with the city
clerk has asked the city council to pro-
vide for an addition to the city lookup
in the basement of the city hall. He
declares that the present cell room is
inadequate to the demands made upon
it and asks that some plan be worked
out by which three more cells may be
added. The four cells are filed to
overfoWing on Saturday and Sunday
nights and the police have been forced
to ask aid from the sheriff in order to
house prisoners on several occasions.
It is thuoght possible that the new law
providing for the working of prisoners
on the streets will have the effect of
largely reducing the number of prison
ers at the city lookup and it is not
probable that any action will be taken
to put in more cells until after the new
law has been tested out.
The annual report Of the chief of po-
lice is decidedly interesting one. The
report showed that during the past
year the police have made a total of
l,724 arrests or more than 4 arrests for
each day in the year. OF this vast
number 483 were arrested on charges of
intoxication and 387 on charges of dis
turbance. The principal causes of ar
rests were vagrancy al, assault and
battery IL, speeding SO, on suspicion

pie arrested during the year were

The industrial commission is entirely
satisfied with the workmen s compen-
sation law in its present form and the
members Of that body believe that good
results may be confidently expected
from the operation of the law. One
thing is certain and that is that since
the defenses of contributory negligence
and assumption of risk have been wiped
out in this state every company that
wants any indemnity insurance will
have to come under the act. The rate
schedules fixed by the insurance com
panies must have that effect and the
managers Of these companies do not
hesitate to state frankly that they pre-
fer to have their risks operating under
the law. With the amount of damages
fixed, the actuaries will be able to fig
ure the hazard fairly accurately with
a few years of experience under the
law.

Some time ago the head of the fed
eral bureau of education told us that
we were greatly mistaken as a people
if we INDUCED the fancy that our ele-
mentary educational system was eff
Gent and satisfactory Now the same
bureau issues a vigorous defense Of that
system against the complaints and
charges of some of the champions of
the three Rs, who say OF imply that
today less attention is paid in the pub
lie schools to fundamentals and essen
tials, because of the number of fads
and frills in the modern curriculum
than was paid formerly.
The bureau categorically states that
such charges are wholly devoid Of foun-
dation, and that there is no golden
three RS age behind us. The funda-
mentals are better taught today than
ever before, and the newer studies are
all practical, important and semi-voca-
tional.
We recall various articles and address
es IN which it was shown by analyzing
old examination papers and similar
documents that the teaching Of the es-
sentials is better today than it was in
the past. The golden age, doubtless, is
merely dream. But it assuredly does
not follow that the three Rs are prop
erly taught now, and that no further
Improvement as to them is desirable,
necessary OF possible. The fact is,
too many school graduates are very
poor writer's, poor spoilers, poor read
ers and poor arithmeticians. Business
men know this from sad experience.
Golden age OF dark age, the past is past.
What we need and should have is bet
ter grounding in essentials here and
now.-RecordH Herald.

URGE COOPERATION
Employers and Employees
Must Unite to Prevent
Accidents in Factories
NEGLECT OF DUTY MAIN CAUSE

Cooperation between employer and
employees to eliminate industrial acct
dents is the method suggested by c. w.
Price, assistant to the Wisconsin indus
trial commission, at the joint meeting
of liability insurance agents and the
commission in Milwaukee. Mr.: Price
believes employer and employee are now
too far apart.
He said:
'SThe whole problem of accident pre-
vention must be laid out on the table
and the employer and employee must in
vestigate carefully and honestly the
causes of accidents and then each face
squarely his responsibility. If the of
ficers, or the superintendent, or the fore
men have neglected their duty, this
should be frankly admitted, and if the
workmen are in fault this should be
equally frankly stated. The workmen
can never be drawn into a real Coop
GRAFTON in accident prevention so long
as the mistakes of the company are COW
cred up and the shortcomings of the
Workmen are exposed and condemned.
II think safety men are generally
agreed that the experience of some of
the large corporations which have done
the most systematic work in the pre-
vention of accidents has demonstrated
that reduction of at least so per cent
can be made in the hours lost on ac-
count of accidents, and reduction of
SO to IS per cent can be made in the
serious injuries and deaths. 1t is agreed
that not more than one-third of these
reductions have been accomplished
through the use of safeguards or any
mechanical equipment, while two-thirds
have been accomplished by means of
education, inspection, organization and
cooperation on the part of the work
men.
81 think the most successful means
thus far adopted to get next to the
men and to obtain their real interest
and cooperation is through the work
mems inspection committees. 1t is the
practice in many plants to appoint in
each department from one to three rank
and-file workmen on an inspection com
mittee. This committee makes an in
spection of its department, OF some

worked out satisfactorily to have the
men inspect once week without tax
ing time off. These committees submit
complete report of their findings with
suggestions of safeguarding, to the
superintendent or other officer. 1t has
been found practical to allow the men
to serve one, two, or three months on
the committee, and then they are made
honorary members and are encouraged
to report any points of danger which
they may find from time to time.
