AID IN DEVELOPING STATE
Traffic Bureau Comes Into Existence
at Grand Forks.

The directors of the North Dakota
Development League Press bureau at
Grand Forks have added to their or
ganization a new department, which
is expected to aid materially in the de-
velopment of the state. The State
Traffic bureau is the title of the new
division of the work and it has been
placed in charge of a competent traf-
hc man OF years of experience, Mr..
Joseph r. Bremen of Omaha, Neb.,
until recently with the Union Pacific
railway.
The foremost factor in the Develop
ment of a state or of a city is it's
transportation facilities and rates.
No state can properly grow until it
has adequate railway service and as
favorable rates as can be had any
where. No town or city car grow
properly unless it is treated fairly in
service and rates by it's railways. The
new State Traffic bureau will study
transportation problems as related to
the development of North Dakota. 1t
will endeavor to secure as good serv-
ice as can be had and plans also to
take up the question of North Dakota
freight rates and if, after studying,
it finds them too high, then a general
reduction will be asked.
In addition to the service to the
state in general the bureau will be at
the service of towns and commercial
clubs in assisting to work out their
traffic problems. If there is discrim-
ination against your community and
there are needed changes or faults
in the service you are invited to use
this new bureau. Ask for informa-
ton, write State Traffic bureau,
Grand Forks.

ARRESTED AS HORSE THIEF
North Dakota Suspect Believed to Be
Former Canadian Convict.

w. l.. Duff, charged with horse
stealing, was captured by the Cana
dian mounted police twelve hours
after he is alleged to have entered the
corral of Erickson & Johnson in AM
brose, taking two animals away.
When arrested Duff was riding one OF
the horses and leading the other.
Several cases of horse stealing have
occurred at Ambrose recently and it
is supposed the animals have been
taken across the line into Canada.
Duff consented to return to AM
brose without %extradition papers and
was bound over to the district court
and is now being held in the county
jail at Minot pending trial.
Papers found on his person indicate
that he is a former convict from AL
berta.

Mayor Gaynor Of New York Ex-
pireS in Deck Chair.
"AS CANDLE fuCKERS OUT"
Son Sends Brief but Picturesque Ac-
count of the Passing of Noted
Gotham Executive.

New York, Sept. 12.-How Mayor
William j. Gaynor Of New York met
his death on board the steamer Baltic,
on which he was bound for England,
was wired here by his son, Rufus w.
Gaynor. who was his only travelling
companion.
The picturesque head of the New
York municipality succumbed to heart
failure, brought on by fatigue as a re-
suit of his anXieties in the mayors
chair and the wound which he re-
ceiyed three years ago at the hand Of
a discharged employee, according to
the dispatches from the younger Gay
nor.
The end came suddenly While the
mayor sat in his steamer chair on the
deck Of the liner. In the picturesque
words of the son, "he seemed to go as
a candle fuckers out" Rufus w. Gay
nor's message said:
Father died at 1907 D. NJ, ON
Wednesday. the 10th. His death was
due to heart failure. He was seated
in his deck chair at the time. | AMI
the nurse and the ships doctor were
with him. l discovered him uncon-
scious in his chair, though still alive.
He died about three minutes later
without recognizing any of us. Every
thing possible was done, but he SEEM
ed to go as a candle tiickers out"
That the mayors heart had been in
a weakened condition for years was
the statement of physicians who
treated him at the time he was shot
in the neck and almost done to death
by an insane discharged employee of
the city in August, 1910.
Wound fastened His Death.
They would not declare their belief
that the wound inflicted by the assas-
sins bullet had led directly to the
end, but did affirm that his general re-
sistance had been lessened thereby to
a great extent.
Plans for a public funeral, to be
held probably on Monday, Sept. %,
will be made by the board of esti-
mate. Late advices from abroad say
the body will be transferred from the
Baltic to the steamer Cedric, sailing
from Queenstown; or, if that arrange
ment cannot be effected, to the Lusi-
tania, sailing from Liverpool on Sat
urday, and should arrive in New York
Friday or Saturday of next week.
The death of Mayor Gaynor auto
matically transferred the office of may
or to Colonel Ardolph l.. Kline, a Re-
publican, president of the board of al
dermen. Colonel Kline took the oath
of office and his first official act was
to call the board of estimate together
to lay plans for the public funeral
services of his predecessor. Mayor
Kline then declared that during his
short term of office, which will ter
inmate on Jan. l, 1914, he would car
ry out the policies of Mayor Gaynor,
so far as he knew them.

Tariff Conferees Dispose Of Two
More Schedules.
HOUSE WINS WOOL VICTORY
Senate Recedes From Its Amendment
to Free List the Cheaper Grades
of Blankets.

Washington, Sept. 16.-Most of Ito,
knotty problems in the wool and pa
per schedules were disposed OF by
the house and senate %conferees on
the Democratic tariff bill and a good
start was made on the sundries
schedule.
One of the important agreements
occurred when the senate confereea
receded from the amendment to fires
list the cheaper grades Of wooden
blankets and accepted the house par.
agraph making them dutiable at -
per cent ad valorem.
The paragraph on wooden yarns
was compromised by splitting almost
equally the difference between the
two houses, the house having voted
a 20 per CEN and the senate a Is
per cent duty.
A speech in support of the tariff
was made in the senate by Senator
Thomas of Colorado, a Democratic
member of the finance committee.
The senator had prepared his
speech for delivery during the tariff
debate. but was prevailed upon to
withhold it so that passage of the
bill might not be delayed.
He warmly defended the sugar
schedule and declared that much OF
the agitation against free sugar by
the beet sugar industry was based
on a misrepresentation.

HIS OWN ADMINISTRATION.

an article in a current periodical as
follows:
IF this administration is a success
It viii be Wilson's success. If II is a
failure is viii be his failure. And the
amazing thing about his complete dom
ination Is that Il IS not an arrogant
domination, or a magisterial domina-
tion, or an offensive domination, but
a seave calm, perfectly natural result
Of a superior intellect dealing with in
feriors. He is agreeable, mild-man-
nered, pleasant, even solicitous about
II all; but the fact that he is affable
and courteous does not alter the other
fact that he is firmly and entirely the
leader. and insists on complete recog-
milton as such. He smiles when he
tells a man &c do thing. but that
smile does not decrease or soften the
imperativeness of the order. He IS

SUBSCRIPTIONS RATES.
4 MANS OWN.

How much property could you pos
sess without law? Think only mo-
ment and the answer 10 this question
is easy. You could own just as much
as your individual strength would en-
able you to hold. If you were cunning
and strong you might be able to hold
more than some of the rest OF your
fellowmen, but even then all your be-
longings might be carried away If a
few rapacious individuals combined
against you.
The fact is that it is TO the fiat OF
society, expressed in the form OF law,
that you owe your ability to own any
more than you could possess by the
power Of your strong right arm. It
must be evident, therefore. that there
IS precious little that you have a right
to call your very own, to be used with
out regard to the welfare Of your fell
lowmen. This idea was forcefully ex-
pressed by Secretary Of Labor Wilson
in an address this week It is the
basis Of the present progressive move
ment in politics which looks to a wider
distribution Of the benefits Of the right
OF private property and is therefore
worthy Of especial note. Mr. Wilson
put it thus:
Law has created those titles, not
primarily for the welfare Of the men
to whom it conveys il, but for the wei
lare Of the community Society has
conceived, whether rightfully or wrong
fully, that the best method Of promot.
ing the welfare Of society is to convey
titles to individuals in real estate and
personal effects. It does it, however,
not for the welfare OF the individual.
bHt-for the welfare Of the great mass
Of the people. If any individual or cor
poration takes the ground that the
property is his own, that he has the
right 10 do with 1t as he pleases and
fails to take into consideration the fact
that the title has only been conveyed
to him as a trustee for the welfare OF
society, then he is creating a condition
that viii cause society to modify or
change these titles to property, as it
has perfect right to do whenever in
its judgment It deems it for the well
fare Of society to do it,
There is nothing new or radical in
the idea here conveyed. It's basis is
as old as the doctrine, mo man liveth
to himself and no man dieth to him
self" It is in accord with the princi-
pie of modern ethics which declares
that the foundation Of human rights is
human welfare. Out Of it grow all
the regulations which restrict the
individual in advancing his own well
fare TO those activities which do not
conflict with the welfare of society at
large. Complete recognition Of this
principle will be the solution of the
most perplexing of our social prob
lens.
