A young woman arrested in Duluth
the other day said that she had
graduated from a school where
pupils were taught to simulate deaf
ness, and to beg thei. living as deaf
ute She said that h had worked
all over several states. with quite sat
i~sfactory returns. Whether or not
there is such a school. ii is a fact that
many persons are going about the
country representing themselves to he
deaf and dumb, and collecting money
because of that fact. Notwithstanding
they are to all appearances strong
and a~ble-hodied, and quite able to
perform work Of many kinds. A we'll
built man. physically sound, who
asks for aims because he is deaf and
dumb, is a fraud. and should be
treated as such. He can earn a good
living if he wishes 10 do so. There
are all sorts of occupations where
deaf persons are employed at good
wages, and where their deafness is
nc a great bar to efficient work. The
whose business of indiscriminate beg
ging is bad, and should be d~iscour-
aged. If a nan is unable to earn his
living, there are public authorities for
taking are of such cases and there
is no reason why he should peram-
hulate about the country, begging
from persons who nave no means OF
knowing whether he IS a fraud or
not.

NORTHWOOp CITY.

Being in their own county the city
Of Northwood was an especially in
terestine place TO mbe of the
Commercial club on their trip last
Tuesday. The city is in a corner OF
the county distant from Grand Forks,
and many of the members OF the par
" had never before seen it. they
found it we'll worth a visit. for IL is
n of the neatest n prettiest little
cities in the state, and it bears evil
dence on every hand of being inhahi-
tated by people who are e~nterprising
and progressive, and who are right
up to late. The streets are covered
with gravel, we'll packed n rolled
in, and are as smooth as a we'll laid
pavement could make them. Consid-
ering the size of the place the light
inx system is by far the best in the
state, for the entire city is lighted
BY means OF the cluster lamps used
in the now familiar white ways" in
many cities, but which are usually
confined to the business sections. In
Northwood the whole city is a white
way, and the people are properly
proud of this fact. The city has a
fine hospital. built by the enterprise
Of local people, and an annex nov
being built will double its capacity.
Other Improvements too numerous to
mention are to he found all over the
city.
A few years ago the entire business
section OF Northwood was burned to
the ground. Seldom has fire made a
cleaner sweep. Many of the residents
lost heavily. and the task of rebuild
ing seemed a tremendous one to un-
dertake. But the people took hold
with a will, n demonstrated their
faith i n their city by beginning al
once the building of a finer and bet
ter city than they had had before.
Today the business streets are lined
with fine brick buildings, me these
are all occupied by business men who
carry good stocks and know how to
display them. for the business sec

p%earance.

LEGISLATION IN THE LIMELIGHT

Hoping to impress the good folk
Of the provinces with the industry Of
the august members of the French
chamber Of deputies says the Chi
cago Record Herald. 1.-The clerk per-
mitted a moving picture operator to
take a film of the chamber during the
debate on q really important measure.
"Cnluckily the clerk omitted to
warn h Jealous servants OF the peo-
pie, and the machine caught a picture
of fifteen. instead of over five hun
dred. deputies yawning and even
snoring in a deserted hall. Only when
it came to a vote did the noble ff-
teen show any signs of returning
consciousness. Having voted the
proxies Of the ~absentees. they would
probably have lapsed once more into
slumber had it not got about that a
acknowledgement vas in the offing."
Immediately, it is related, the gall

of conscious virtue and patriotism,
became furiously busy with the :.f-
fairs of state. So long as the cine
matograph whirred, there never were
such faithful and industrious servants
of the public as they.
The Record-Herald speculares: "It
appears that the moving picture ma
chine is to be second only to the die
toeraph for legislative revelations.
What, n wonders, would a machine
secretly focused on our own HOUSE at
Springfeld-or at Washington, for
that matter-reveal as to the habits
of legislators?"
Though the moving picture machirc
wouldn't get it all, by any means, for
a good deal happens away from the
floor Of legislative chambers, it GER
tainly would provide a more honest
report Of what goes on thar the Con-
gressiona! Record or the journals of

Closed Car Season.

This is the closed car season among motor car people. Now is the time of the year, more than any other, when the closed car business is at it's height. The woman motorist is not alone responsible for this, either. All though the woman motorist, whether she drives a car herself or whether she is, a passenger, desires above all else to feel comfortable, restful and at ease; likewise does the man motorist. There are some men who will drive an open race roadster the year round and boast of ito their friends. Such men are to be congratulated upon their TO- bust condition, but the vast majority. of business and professional men can not enjoy the exposure to that eX- tent and they, too, have become ex- acting and discriminating in their de- mands for closed cars for winter and fall 11zo

When the Ford Motor, Company closed it's business for the year on Sept. 30th approximately 1000 Model T.

In the year which just closed the company built well up towards the 200, 1000 mark which had been predicted. No announcement has yet been made regarding the pro- duction plans for 1914 but from the active manner in which construction is being rushed on the big additions. to the plants at Detroit; and also the. erected throughout the country, 1t is apparent that the company is prepar-. ing for a big production year.

GAMBLERS IN FOOD.

Nearly one hundred United States
district attorneys have been instruct
ed by Acknowledgement McReynOlds
to investigate Snd report upon the
operations. of the alleged cold-stor-
age combine" There are thousands
of states attorneys who should have
been at work in this field long agao.
The cold storage combine is some
thing more than an allegation. 1t is
the biggest gamble of the day. 1t is
the sure thing" bet that spectators
make against the vital needs of the
people.
Forestalling or engrossing, as the
operations of the cold storage people
would have them described several
centuries ago, was crime. Men
who held back the peoples food sup
ply for gain were criminals and were
punished as such. In every part of
the United States where the common
law prevails it is still crime. In
many states where statutory law has
displaced the common law it is even
more specifically CRIME.
The cold storage inventions are
not public blessings. They are pub
lie Affections. They preserve food
but they increase prices. When food
is abundant and should be cheap,
they corner it. When the markets
are bare, they supply the demand
sparingly at exorbitant rates.
Yet there is no monopolistic enter
prise in this trust ridden land more
easy of regulation than storage and
all the processes of storage. T here
is not state or county that cannot
defeat the whole conspiracy. Laws
as old as civilization run against it.
There is not an honest court in
Christendom that will not, on appli-
cation, enforce them.
Why Investigate an outrage that
afflicts every home and blights every
table? These gamblers in food are
more notorious than those who risk
money at cards or on horses. 1t is
action that they fear; not investiga-

SUCCESS OR DEFEAT.

The democrats of Iowa may choose.
Defeat or success depends upon their
own action alone. If the democrats
will get out to the primaries and
nominate capable men whose demOc-
racy is unquestioned, victory will
crown their efforts, but if the demo-
Gratis are unconcerned and refuse to
take the proper interest either in the
platform or candidates, then it will
be the same old story-defeat-and
perhaps dishonor.
Democracy is understood to be fair
ness, straightforwardness, honesty,
taking the people into your conf
dence, and democracy is opposed to
fraud and trickery, to deception and
double dealing. Democracy, if de-
mocracy means anything, is fair play
and open straightforward conduct.
There are evidences abroad tend
ing to show that it is intended to
trick the democrats into doing things
which they might not do in the full
light of day.
1t was Abraham Lincoln who said
You can fool the people for awhile,
but not always
1t is a cardinal principle of the
democratic faith that the interest OF
the whole people is of greater con-
Germ than is the interest of any one
man, or set of men. The people Of
Iowa and the people of every con-
gressional district in Iowa, are mani
testify more concerned in the affairs
of government than the man or CO.

seek nomination to Office, and il

THEORY VERSUS FACTS.

r 1t has been truism Of the high
tariff school for half a century, as
isarcastically expressed by the late
James 6. Blain, that low tariffs invar-
iably and inevitably result in a
..bounteous flow of gold out of the
country and of pauper labor goods
into the country. The first month
OF the new low tariff shows gold flow
ing "bounteously' in and not out. 1t
shows pauper labor goods flowing in
less "bounteously" even less than a
year ago under the high tariff. 1t
shows American merchandise flowing
out to an unprecedented extent for
the season. 1t shows trade balance
in our favor the greatest ever known.
Who now are the theorists and
the impractical doctrinaires OF this
old problem?
