" baseball owes much to Ban
Johnson. He broke in as a
rebel chief but once firmly established
in power, became the big Car John
son through his American League
instituting number of long-needed
reforms. He made Of the much
abused umpire a national figure in
stead Of "scapegoat," and by forcing
respect for him from the player even
tually commanded also the venera-
ton of fandOm. 1t was Johnson who
was largely instrumental in stamping
out all forms of roWdyism upon the
field. And when he had forced recog-
milton to equality from the National
League, he was one of the leading
spirits for peace and good will toward
one happy, concerted union for the
common good.
The Johson regime marked a new
era in professional baseball. He was
at first looked upon with suspicion.
1t was not believed at the time ne

frenzy is law unto itself and the

Ever since the American League

The debate never will be closed so

Baseball writer's in the big cities

They are generally OF the opinion that
there is no appreciate difference in
the respective strengths of the big
leagues. And why should there be? The

hunt for talent Each club has its
scouts securing the country for new
players. There is little choice among
the rival managers Each circuit
boasts its great popular heroes.
There was a time when the Amer
lean League overshadowed its totter-
ing rival. That was back In the war
days of ten years and more ago. The
young circuit in the hands Of young
and vigorous capital jts who had gone
in on gamble, put up the money to
rob the National League Of its best
known stars. There was such an ex-
odus of talent from the parent major
that the old Established organization
was left weak, indeed.

Gasoline will probably be the most
important Ignite coal by-product. &C
cording to the analysis made by Dean
Babcock of the School of Mines at Grand
Forks. From 10. 900 to II, 900 cubic feet
of gas can be produced from a ton of
dry Ignite coal. Gasoline is now being
made on a commercial basis from nat
ural gas, and the composition of lig-
mite gas and the natural gas is much
the same. Another BY product is tar,
al a ton of Ignite will yield between
20 and 80 pounds of tar, and it is rich
in lubricating and wood preserving
properties There is also ammonia sui
plate. which has a high market value
as a fertilizer and can be used fer sew
eral manufacturing purposes.

1t seems that the senate was not will
ing to appropriate ST, 500 for carrying
on plant breeding experiments at the
Dickinson station The house passed
the bill without a dissenting vote but
the senate suffered the measure to die
in committee. If Supt. Waldron could
have been present when the bill was
first discussed in committee it might
have Jared better. The work at the
Dickinson experiment station is GER
tainly valuable to the farmers of the
entire state. The usual fixed appropri-
alton of SIS. 900 comes to the station as
in the past, bul there was great merit
in the special appropriation asked and
it seem a pity to have so valuable a
work as Supt. Waldron has been con-
Quoting curtailed in the least. Our
farmers need every bit of information
that can I've given them in this way.

GEO. HEATON LUMBER CO.
A Yard of Quality and. Service.

Of course we are not merchants, but
since the province of this paper is TO
tell the truth as we see it we do not in
tend that local merchants shall be
slandered by organizations too powerful
to be fought by sn individual.
There are dishonest men in all. lines
of work. The inability to see the differ
ence between mine and thine afaicts a
few members of all classes, whether
they be retailers. preachers. bankers,
doctors, engineers, editors, writer's or
what not. But the dishonest man in
the exception. and not the rule.
Well admit that retailing is not as
efficient as it might be, but neither is
surgery, nor architecture nor even farm
Ing. Well admit that retailing is
sometimes a trife wasteful, but we
can not admit that merchants are n
more dishonest than any other people.
In fact some retailers have been
known to suffer by the vices Of their
customers, and every merchant who is
open handed enough to sell goods on
credit is absolutely sure to lose a part of
the value of the goods sold.
In spite of what the quotation above
may say. the retailer does not ''swipe''
and gets very.little return for the service
he performs. In fact, we do not believe
that n of his critics would be willing
to do the work he does, for the pay he
gets.
That the retailer peforms a service for
which he should be paid. is as certain
as that a railroad company should re-
ceiye remuneration for the transporting
of goods.
The retailer completes the connection
that is necessary before goods and con-
sumner a get together, and if there
were no retailers, we should not be
civilized as we are. Without the re-
taller every consumer would be com
PEELED to 60 to primary markets for
goods, an act that would take all the
time at the consumers disposal. The
retailer by concentrating the purchases
of man consumers cuts u waste and
brings goods to the place where they
are to be consumed at a much smaller
cost than if every user" had to do
this for himself.
No n could be expected to do all
this for nothing, and that's why the
retailer needs his profit. That the re-
tailer's profit is not excessive can be
proved by any man who compares the
earnings of a retail store with those of
any other business. Why, even a bank.
although working on an apparently
small margin, earns more money on the
average than a retail establishment.
Of course the ''eliminators'' are hav-
ing a good time with the poor retailer,
but it is our candid belief that the
elimination of the retailer would be a
mighty big and unpleasant joke on the
people who turned the trick.

self. remains to be seen and the man
ner in which the new secretary will &C.
quit hiui self in this rcsition is. Of
course, to be demonstrated.
Though Mt. Bryan has been before
the public for a good many years. and
has been. in a way. In public life. he
has held no Official position since his
retirement from congress as q house
member many years ago. Success in an
administrative Office is largely a matter
Of personal adaptability. and the whole
country will observe with interest Mr..
Bryan's initiation into what will be a
new class of work for him. Some of
the other members of the new cabinet
are we'll known aud Of admitted ability.
Others are less we'll known to the pub
lie. President Wilson has undoubtedly
made his selections with great care.
and his persistent silence concerning
the personnel of the cabinet has en-
abled him to hold the situation open.
and subject to his decision until the
last moment.
The new president has had valuable
experience a al executive. FOR as gov
ernor OF New jersey he has had a fore
taste of the class of work that he will
have to perform as president of the ma.
ton, and of the sort of problems which
will be presented to him for solution.
On the whole the feeling of the coun-
try toward him seems TO be one of great
cordiality. The %peculiarities of the
last campai ign doubtless had much to
do with that. When the retiring presi-
dent congratulated his successor we can
we'll believe that he did so with the
greatest heartiness and sincerity and
that these feelings were enhanced by
the fact that it was Wilson rather than
Roosevelt whom he was called upon to
congratulate. And the Roosevelt people
have felt we'll pleased that. though they
were unable to elect the man of their
choice, they did succeeded in defeat
ing Taft and his supporters.
President Wilson has made it known
long ago that he would call congress
together Immediately in extra session
for the purpose of taking up the revision
of the tariff. That announcement was
wise, and it has doubtless had a great
deal to do with the composure with
which the country has looked forward
to the change of administration. The
tariff is to be dealt with at once, and
whatever disposition is made of it. that
disposition is not likely to have as bad
an effect on the country as would a per-
iod of waiting and uncertainty.
On the whole, the democratic party
has a great opportunity. 1t comes into
power at q time when the sentiment of
the county favors some marked changes
in our policies. If the party measures
up to its opportunities it will earn the
gratitude and confidence of the country.
II it forgets its duty to the country and
goes to playing politics for the sake of
triflina advantages in the holding of
Office it will soon again find itself out
in the cold.-Grand Forks Herald.

in the famous Spring creek country,

that times passed.
You can't get away with that sort of
thing now without humping up pretty
hard against the power of law.
Of course unfairness is often practic-
ed, as the following quotation will
show. 1t is taken from a recent issue
of a publication that is widely circula-
ed and it deserves your thoughtful con-
sideration.

HESITATION TOE is
LATEST OF AILMENTS
ST. Louis Doctor Lays Its Existence to
That Dreamy Step Now
So Popular.

The hesitation toe" blamed on the
hesitation in that enhancing new
waltz, is causing St. Louis society girls
to hesitate in the simple art Of walk
ing. according to DR.. Alexander Il
Block, 5S45A Won Versen avenue, St
Louis. In fact, 1t threatens to elimln-
ate the hesitation from the hesitation
unless some enterprising doctor can
discover a method OF relieving the
swollen toes after nights indulgence
in the dance
ITS the hesitation in the dance that
causes the trouble" said DIR. Block.
.Ip the last week have had dozen
patients come to me suffering with
mains In the large toe and the ball OF
the foot. In the hesitation waltz
there is a strain on the toe during the
hesitation.
The dance, according to the doctor
would be all right without the hesita
ton. It is the little pause that does
the damage In time, he says, the en-
tira arch OF the foot will become at
fected and flat feet will result.
Another thing which adds to the
strain on the toes according to the
doctor. is the fear Of the girls thai
they will throw shoe" The pumps
have a tendency to slip off at the hee
while the girls are dancing on theii
toes. To hold them on the girls pu
extra pressure on the toes.

doctor believes. The younger set, how
