THE oRPHEUM,
CONVENTION WEEK.

Those who attend the Orpheum dur-
ing the convention week beginning
Monday will find that Manager Fowler
has looked we'll after their interests,
for among the acts for the week are
some of the best that can be found in

will be found that has seventeen people,
but for the first half Of the week the
great Banda Roma will be here. This
is known as the Royal Italian band,
and the men have been selected for
their ability as solo artists. 1t Is a
rare attraction.
In addition Miss Evelyn Dare will
sing, the Beardsley Sisters will render
some delightful duets in dainty Co.'S
tunes and Charles Loder & Co., will
produce the clever sketch, The Night
Doctor. which is second to non as a
laugh provoker. Another big act will

clever and pleasing act which they
dress nicely. Miss Evelyn Dare will

GRAIN BUYING ABUSES.

= The North Dakota board of railroad
commissioners is to be commended for
the stand it has taken in the matter
OF stamping out abuses in the grain
buying industry. The Forum has
recently published accounts Of certain
abuses, alleged to have been practiced
BY certain elevator men Of the state.
The board has issued a very timely
bulletin in which it reads the riot
Act" to the grain buyers and informs
Them that certain practices must be
stopped.

road commission refers. There are
undoubtedly hundreds of honest and
reliable grain buyers and that class
will probably work with the commits
sion in seeing that these abuses are
stopped.
The farmer has enough to contend
with this year. what with
able weather at threshing time and a
very unsatisfactory price, without
having to fight with INSCRIPTIONS

plete protection from the state and

PRODUCTION OF GOLD.

Production of gold for the past year
showed an increase over the year be-
EcPezof $780, 00. This country pro-
dueed about that much less than the
vsar before, the chief gain being made
in the Transvaal and Rhodesia. In the
last FIVE years the annual increase has
been small.
Z Some economists have ascribed the
Increased cost OF living in considerable
measure to the steady increase in the
output of coal. 1t is commended that
the more money there is in circulation,
the less viii be the purchasing power
of the dollar. But not all the gold gets
into circulation, The United States
mint sold $S,ooo,e 600 more in bars the
past year for use in the arts. In the
Mechanical world there was also an in
Creased use. The demand for gold for
other purposes than coinage helps to
prevent any currency imitation.
cold strikes in Alaska and in South
AFRICA in the last few years have caus-
ia some uneasiness as to the food of
yellow metal, threatening the monetary
Mtandard OF the world. With the APP
rarent gIackening in the rate Of in
crease this danger becomes more re-
mote.

started by the comic magazines, fur
thered by the ca~rtoonlsts and made use
Of by politicians, of the phrase "com-
mon people just as If there were any
other kind of, people in America. The
st. Louis Times makes the following
comment on this foolish custom:
The president, and, the president
elect have recently assured the people
that they are friends of the common
people,
If this be true, what part or portion
OF u citizenship are they the friends
OF? Do they recognize a classification
of such character? II so, what portion
OF our citizens regard them as their
friends?
Who are these common people, to
whom the president and president
elect refer? Why should the presi-
dent-elect of the United States, from
his high station, seek to inculcate in
the minds Of the rising generation the
idea that there is, among our citizen
ship, a common people,?
This must of necessity include the
thought that there are some others
above and some below the common
people" If they refer to the plain
everyday American citizen, who is
the producing. aggressive and infiuen-
tial factor in our American life, then
why should they be designated as
common people?
It is the worst sort of nonsense. We
have no common people" We are a
plain, democratic, active, aggressive
and unassuming people.
We recognize no superior class, save
the superiority Of brains and charac-
ter. 1t i'll becomes the leaders of
thought to make such ill-timed sugges-
tons.

NEW YORK, LARGEST CITY.

Estimates of the growth of popula-
ton for the year 1913 for the cities of
New York and London indicate that
the American city, including it's met
ropolitan district, will this year pass
London and it's district, thus becoming
the largest city In the world. Adding
to the present population of metropol-
ttan London, its average rate of in
crease will give 7,44O,O 900 population at
the close of the present year, while
metropolitan New York will reach a to-
lalNof $4,000.
Not only will the American metropo-
Us thus forge to the lead in the matter
Of population, but its bank cIearings
are already 100000, 900 more annually
Ihan the English capital.
The youngest among the great ma
8on8 the United States has in the last
lsyo decades reached a position of
leadership in many lines which has
heep the marvel and envy Of older ma
mons. For hundreds Of years London
has been the largest city in the world,
and when the lead is taken by New
York it will take some time for the
ruth to become a fixed part of the gen.
oral geographical information fund.
And there is little danger that the
Acepter will pass from its new holder
for generations.
y Concentration of population in large
stiles is n of the perils of the nation,
but the growth of New York was inev-
4table. While London is a big slice Of
England, the new worlds metropolis
takes up a comparatively small part Of
This nations total area, and it's infu-
Ance is not so pronounced on the re-
snainder of this country. There is
more freedom in the handling of the
problems of great cities over here,
Enough on the other hand there must
Hecessarily be more Of experimentation.
Te be able to boast of the largest
City in the world is gratifying to a
country whose real growth Is but lit
sle known abroad. In part by reason
Of this prestige, the influence of the
United States in finance, in trade and
IN all the arts of peace will be fncreas-
nd. It's a good advertisement abroad;

Prompt Justice.

The following rs related of a good
justice Of the peace in Massachusetts
in colonial times:
On a cold night in winter a traveller
called at his house for lodging. The
ready hospitality of the justice was
about to be displayed when the strang-
err u~nluckily uttered a word which his
host considered profane.
Whereupon he informed his guest
that he was a magistrate, pointed out
the nature of the offense, and explain
ed the necessity Of it's being eXpiated
by sitting for an hour in the stocks.
RemOnstrance was unavailing, for
custom of that time allowed the magis-
trate to convict and punish at once,
and in this ease the magistrate acted
as ~acCuser, witness, jury, judge and
sheriff. all in one.
Cold as it was, the worthy Justice,
aided by his o n conducted the travel
er to the place of punishment, an open
spot near the meeting house, where
the stocks we're placed Here the way
farer was confined in the usual man
ner. the benevolent executor of the law
remaining with him to beguile the time
Of it's tedium by edifying conversation.
At the expiration Of the hour, he was
reconducted to the house, and hospit-
ably entertained until the next morn
ing, when the traveller departed.
