TAX MAIL ORDER HOUSES.
Congressman Declares They DepIete
Population Of Towns.


The great American mail orner
houses are fast putting the country
merchant out of business, asserts Rep |
resentative Hinebaugh. the Illinois
Progressive, who recently inserted in
the Congressional Record in the house
an argument in support of his bill tax
ing these concerns for rural benefits.
His measure proposes that the reye-
nue. thus raised shall be expended in
building country roads
Mr. fImebaush says that the de-
crease IN village population is due to
the elimination of local merchants by
mail order competition and that a so
clal deterioration OF rural centers is
the net result.

CITY PLANNING DIFFICULT.
Requires Co. operative Effort to Secure
Scientific Results.

Lack of adequate planning for indus
trial communities Is vigorously dls-
cussed in the Survey by George b.
Ford. city planning expert for Newark
and lecturer on that subject at Column
bia university He says:
Large cities are spending millions
today to widen streets, cut through
new streets, provide parks and play
grounds In congested areas, almost all
of which might have been saved II
the city had been originally planned
with foresight. Hundreds of millions
are spent on hospitals, asylums, sani-
tarlums. jails. health. police and fire de-
nartments, large portion of which
could have been saved If the cities had
not been SO wastefuily aud sunseien-
eaeally designed, aA H

nant Instead OF the occupant being

ton, character and width for use and
not according TO obsolete precedent; II
transit lines were designed with the
same efficiency that the manufactures
exhibits in designing his own plant; II
| people could only realize that money
spent In scientifically designed recre
ational facilities is paid back in many
ways to the community, then the work

being an eyesore and disgrace to th'
community would he what the Eng

"The problem is simple IL requires
first, merely an appreciation OF tn
fact that city planning pays. and, sec
ond, It requires cooperative effort Of
the part of the workingmen TO secur
such scientific city planning"

European governments into the per-
tidions belief that violation Of the stuff
| rage in Mexico is notorious, that Pro-
visional President Huerta is to blame,
that he cannot now be considered by
them as the constitutional president
and that those governments are not
obliged to stand by their recognition
Of him.
Nothing can be more sophistical
nor more unjust than such an argu-
ment
Nobody but ourselves has any right
to determine whether Huerta has vic.
lated the suffrage; nobody but our
selves should place the responsible
ties; none but our own authorities
conformable to our laws should refuse
to recognize him, depose him, submit
him to a process or condemn him to
death.
Foreign governments cannot mix
in this sort Of thing. They cannot
ignore it completely as they are inca
pacitated by decency, by morality and
by common sense to fix the political
course of other countries"
The newspaper says it cannot be-
lieve in the arrangement which Pres
ident Wilson proposes because In the
world there are honorable men who
esteem decorum, who keep their
pledged word and who are sincere and
loyal. There are also governments.

Youth DruQ9ed;;

JOHN HAHN LOSES MIND AFTER
POKER GAME WITH
STRANGERS.

Bottineau, N. D., Nov. 3.-John A.
Hahn, step-son Of Ole Nuland, was
before the insanity board the first Of
the week. After an examination he
was adjudged insane and Sheriff L. P.
Sandstrom and Mr.. Nuland took him
to Jamestown.
Hahn, who is young fellow about
% years of age, left here for Minot
On the train he met fellow who
offered to "show him around" the
magic city. He was gotten into a
poker game and in due course of time,
dealt the proverbial four aces. He
bet all the money he had, SO, and
wanted to bet more, so IL was decided
that the hands were to be sealed up
until the unsophisticated youth could
wire to Bottineau for SITS. He wired
the Bottineau National bank in this
city but the money was not sent until
later. He told G. X. Vikan. the
cashier of the bank that he was in
trouble, saying that he had gotten in.
to poker game and had been drug
ged. Mr.. Vikan advised him to leave
Minot at once and come home, so he
took the first train for Rugby and
walked to Dunseith. There it was no.
ticed that he was deranged and the
| officers picked him up and brought
him to this city and turned him over
to the proper authorities. Later he
became violent and it was deemed
best to send him to the state hospital.

INDUSTRIAL SHOW GOOD.

INDUSTRIAL SHOW GOOD.
Several who went to attend the corn
show at Leal last Thursday spoke en-
Enthusiastically of the exhibit of canned
fruit and vegetables which had been
grown in and around Leal. This ex-
hibit included berries of various kinds
caulfower, rhubarb, tomatoes and
peas. There were some beautiful ap-
pies on display also, which had been
grown there. The school exhibit was
worthy of special mention also and
compared very favorably with many
city school exhibits, even excelling
some exhibits from city schools. E.
A. Greenwood addressed the women
who attended ON Butter Making"
Miss Brown, domestic science teacher
from Uxbridge, and the domestic sci
ence teacher from Leal gave interest
ing and instructive demonstrations on
cake-maHng and recipe for prepar-
ing cabbage. Mr.. O. A. Barton spoke
to the children of the grades and Mr..
Hoke, better farming expert from
Grand Forks also addressed the peo-
pie. Mrs. Frank White acted with
Mrs. Grewcox as Judge Of the needle
work and also addressed the farmers
and their wives on the question Of Civ
ing the children on the farms some
means whereby they might earn mon
ey of their own, doing away with the
desire to leave the farm for the pur-
pose of making money which they can
call their own. Mrs. White also spoke
of the advisability of boys and girls
learning something of bookkeeping
and simple business methods. There
was fine exhibit of corn and veget-
ables. Edwin Maryland and Miss Min.
ME Nelson acted as judges and took
an active part in the program of the
day.

WILSON POLICY SCORED BY
the MEXICAN PRESS; CAN
SETTLE Their OWN AFFAIRS
Paper Declares President "SeekS Allies for Crime
Against Humanity" Asserts That Aid Of foreign
Powers in Situation IS Unnecessary.

Mexico City, Nov. 3.-"The politi
cal intrigues of the White House
against our country have entered a
period of apparent inertia recently
President Wilson showing himself re-
served, undecided and expectant, like
one who prepares most telling blow
says Ell Pals, the nearest approach to
an independent newspaper in Mexico
City, in an editorial article on the
situation today 1t continues:
1.-THE cable, however, in spite of its
lac0nicism, gives a glimpse of the
Vaccinations of the government at
Washington which may be summarized
as follows: President Wilson has not
resolved to proceed frankly and open
ly against Mexico, doubtless because
he comprehends the colossal injustice
of his cause; but he searches for al
lies and accomplices in the crime
against humanity plotted in the White
House of annihilating and despoiling
us as in the time of Santa Ammo. To
this end tend all the efforts of the
Puritan president, and we know by re-
cent dispatches that an effort is being
made to bring about combined diplo-
matte movement by at least some of
the European powers to sanction acts
which the American government may
attempt against Mexico.
1T is said that France, England and
Germany will aid President Wilson In
the work. either by intervention or
through Carranza or by obliging Pro-
visional President Huerta to renounce
the high post he occupies We are
still obliged to believe that the friend
ly powers which voluntarily and open
ly recognize General Huerta as pro-
visional president of Mexico will not
aid the United States, either morally
or materially, because this would be
the equivalent of fragrant contradic-
ton at variance with international
Dractises and the decorum of honor
able government"
