MayvilIe to Play Moorhead.

A school event tomorrow afternoon,
one hat local fans have been antici-
pating for a long time will be a ball
game between the teams of h normal
schools at Mayville and Moorhead.
The game will be called on the normal
diamond at 4 o'clock. In a recent bat
tie at Mayville between the same
teams the Moorhead normal boys were
victorious in a score of 8 to 6. It
was one of the first games of the sea-
san and since then the boys have
been doing some good practice work
and if the weather is agreeable there
is likely to be some fast ball playing
as Mayville will not relish being licked
1T home and away from home by the
same bunch Of contestants. Profess
sor Hitler, formerly of the local
school, is not at the head of the May
vile school and he will likely accom-
pany the team to Moorhead, of bust

IN the kind OF work, but how it is done.
The boy who has a well trained
brain can make more money, if this
is what he wants, than his father who
was but a human machine, at the same
kind of labor. He can also advance
where his father stood still and he can
find new and better ways of doing
what his fathers did smerely mechanic

This we believe is the way out of the
present situation. 1t is not a short or
easy way but it will be travelled and at
the end will be found no such thing as
unskilled, degraded or degrading labor,
or any thought that there is or can be
such a thing.

The Nation and Its City.

The endeavors of the American Civic
Association, with a membership Of thou
sands throughout the country, to pre-
vent the denationalizing of Washington
as the federal city by any infraction of
the organic act and the equal participa-
ton by the government In its mainte-
nance should have a beneficial effect. A
propaganda of this character Is not only
entirely proper, but is to be welcomed as
in the national as well as the local in
terest. The members of the National Civic
Federation are keenly interested in the
welfare of the country at large. and they
have on repeated occasions voiced
their pride In the District as a fit ex-
preston Of American civilization and
have wrought for its Improvement through
the solution OF problems here existent. II
must be believed that the national senti-
rnent is favorable to the evolution OF an
ideal capital city. and II is obvious at
the same time that such a city cannot be
developed and maintained without equal
sharing by the government in the ex-
pense No one credits seriously the as
sertion that there is discomfort i'm the

whereby the United States pays half the
cost OF District municipal administration.

there is any appreciable understanding OF

The Wire Dissolution.
New York Evening Post,

From the New York Evening Post.
The dissolution of the great telegraph
and telephone combination presents three
points Of cardinal interest. In the first
place, it is conclusive evidence that the
feat can be done-a thing that has been
denied over and over in regard to cases
of similar nature. This conclusion is dis
tinctly emphasized by the fact that the
dissolution was effected by friendly UNI
derstanding between the company and
the Attorney General; for in order to
satisfy Mr.. McReynolds as he has been
satisfied. it may be assumed that the
practical effectiveness of the scheme of
dissolution was fully made out to his
mind. In the second place, 1t is innpossi-
BILE to look upon this latest development
in the series Of great merger-dissolutions
otherwise than'as link in the chain of
legitimate consequences Of the memorable
decisions of the Supreme Court, during
Mr.. Taft's administration, in the Stand
ard Oil and Tobacco Trust cases. And
finally, as an indication of the immediate
temper of the time, the affair has very
much the look of manifestation of de-
sire on the part of the Wilson admins
tration for peace and not turmoil be-
tween government and business.

Pedestrian Duties.
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
At the annual meeting of the American
Automobile Association code OF rules for
pedestrians was presented, and they were
good rules.
This led all the rest:
1. Pedestrians shall keep to the right
and shall not stop or stand on sidewalks
or road crossings so as to obstruct their
free use by others.
Obedience to such rule would prove
even more of boon to pedestrians them
selves than to motorists.
But here is a rule which motorists
might obey a little more heartily:
4. Pedestrians shall have the right Of
way over all vehicles at designated road
crossings only, but in crossing they shall
not loiter and shall continue to cross
the roadway without stopping.
This code is said to be the first ever
drafted for pedestrians. and concludes
with the following sensible observation:
Accidents only can be reduced to the
minimum by eliminating as far as pos
sible all Of the factors contributing to
them, not only those arising from the
improper use of vehicles on roads and
roadways, but also those arising from
the improper use of roads. sidewalks and

some respects a measure of the infiu-
