AS USUAL.

Already, before the men have taken
Office, the Journal has begun It's at.
tempt to bully and dictate to the new
cit ycommission. In It's issue Of last
evening it attempted to tell the new
city government what it must do in
the matter Of chief Of police.
These tactics, used against the men
whom the Journal has been landing to
the skies, are laughable, but nt-sthe
same time 1t must be highly annoying
to the commissioners-elect. n. xg
The World has no particular interest
in who is or is not to be chief Of
police under the new regime. Mr..
Timboe suits us. He has made a'good
officer and deserves re.appointment.
But If the commission thinks other
wise, that Il their business. The point
is right here Does the Journal own
the new commissioni Is it going to
name the appointeess -
If so we would suggest that the pa
per invoke the recall, GUST the members
elected last Tuesday and then proceed
to elect ticket made up about like
this:
President of the commission: The
editor Of the Journal:
Commissioners:
The Journal Editor.
+ The manager of the Journal.
The proprietor of the. Journal.
The Journal "boss.''
If this were done, there might he

Before election many people wonder.
ed why Silver Serumgard, who had
started to make the race for president
of the city commission, quit 50 sud-
denly. At the meeting of the new
commission last evening the reason be-
came apparent. He was named as city
attorney at the munifcent salary Of
1920 per year. Pretty small bait to
catch such big hsL, but it evidently
was efficient, and certainly it Is econ
omical. .....4

Is THIS ECONOMY.

AZ tno MeollAS VI tn0 new city CON-
mission last evening, the, Devils Lake
Journal was designated as the official
paper OF the city. No rate for the
publishing was fixed, and from what
we know of the Journal management /
is safe, to assume that the: full legal
rate will be charged for all pubnca-
lions made for the city. -

per. It has done the dirty work Of the
crowd now in control for some time,
and on that basis il entitled to some
reward, but
Tt v, Of chapter Of the city or
dinances of the City Of Devils Lake,
(and it is presumed that these ordin.
ances still govern) provides that:
"The city council, Immediately af-
ter its organization In each year, shall
advertise in one Of the leading news
papers of the city, soliciting bids,
which bid shall state the least rate

the party bidding will, during such
year, print in the newspaper Of which
said bidder is the proprietor or man
ager. the said matter. At the first
regular meeting of the city council Of
ter the expiration Of two weeks the
council shall open all bids that may be
fled and shall contract with the low

but it shall have the right to reject
any and all bids and again advertise
as before until acceptable bids shall
have been received and q contract
made. The party to whom the con.
tract for such printing ehall be let

In the sum Of five hundred dollars to

the faithful performance Of his con.
tract. and the newspaper 60 contracted

The World has been the city official
paper during the last year and won the
contract under competitive bids and
has made all publications required to
be made under the terms of that con-
tract at the uniform rate Of three
cents per line
When the Journal was designa ted
last night nothing was said about rates
and it is only fair to assume that the
ma ximum legal rate will be charged
for the work. This is more than one
third higher than the rate charged by

MIR. TAFT AT NEW HAVEN.

An"' was 1ous1HR welcome given
~ Mr.. Taft upon his arrival at New
Haven, where he takes up his ras :.
dence and the work Of the future
among the young men of that in<ti-
triton. The reception was all TIL,
more impressi"c because Of It's sim
certify, lts utt,r lack Of selfish less
and because it was 6 spontaneous
tribute to individual worth. Perhnps
In all the period Of his public life
Mr.. Taft never experienced anything
just like it. He has been for many
years in places where things were
expected of him. People Aocked to
him largely because Of his frfendli-
ness and his high personal qualities,
but in all the crowds there were al
ways those who sought to profit from
his smile, who sought his help and in.
dorsement in private ambitions.
But the "Men of Yale" poured out
to welcome MT. Taft as private citi-
zen and as member Of an honored
faculty. They wanted nothing and
expected nothing from the former
president except reciprocal friend
ship. It is little wonder that for a
moment the famous "Taft Smile" was
absent and Mr.. Taft was overcome
with emotion. Here was genuine ap.
probation right from the hearts Of
three thousand undergraduates who
expressed enthusiastic pleasure be"
cause Mr.. Taft, just plain Mr.. Taft,
was to join with them and become
a part of their university life. And
it is doubtful If Mrs. Taft ever re-
ceived sweeter tribute than that
bouquet Of violets handed her on be-
half of the students. It was all in
all, very beautiful scene, and one
that doubtless will remain vivid in
the memory Of both Mr.. and Mrs.
Taft long after some of the grand
ovations i'll political life shall have
been forgotten.

thank God for the opportunity, /" These
were the words Of greeting from the
former president. And they were mag
nificent words, for they came from a
deep conviction Of duty and opprtuni-
ty. What a significant contrast this
scene presents to the spectacular feats
Of another former president who left
his high office to devote himself to
fomentHng disorder and preaching dis
content with his country's most cher
ished institutions. It was realizing
sense Of this contrast, probably, that
inspired the men Of the university to
join in that solemn and beautiful old
song, "For God, For Country and For
Yale" And Mr.. Taft waved his hat

THE NEW ADMINISTRATION II

woodrow wilson, now Well settled

things in favor of the advancement Of

The American people, long before
the election of last year, had become
impatient for change .from-almost
intolerant Of the last part of-the ad-
mfnistration now retired. Their warm
welcome Of the new order will stiffen
the president against mere politicians.
The people were aroused, very nearly
rebellious, against the rising cost of
living, relief from which has been
pledged to them. Any party or faction
seeking to thwart a Wilson program
will be discouraged by the prospect Of
appearing in the light Of denying to
the public that promised relief.

pany appeared before the Superior
Court Monday morning and asked
that a receiver be named.
He informed the court that the
company was hopelessly insolvent and
that he saw no necessity for answer
ing the petition for a receivership filed
last Friday. He said the assets are
about $50, 900 and the liabilities some
thing above 100000. Superior Judge
w. d. Ellis announced he would name
the receiver during the day.

existence, the assets were now less

petitioners obtained a temporary in
junction to restrain the company from
paying $12, 900 interest on income GER

Comptroller General William A,
Wright was investigating the affairs
of the company at the time a petition
for receivership was asked, and was
consulted regarding the appointment
Following the investigation, General
Wright interviewed in behalf Of the
State. Judge Ellis acceded to the in
PREVENTION and, instead of appointing
receiver, as he previously had ex-
pressed his intention of doing, or
dered the Deputy Insurance Commits

the company and hold them intact
until some further order from the Su-
perlor Court.

for one client in the case said that
the company settled one $4,000 death
claim for "a, 100, paying with a check.
