stones of Charity, Justice, Brotherly
Love and Fidelity, being placed upon
the altar by the leading officers of the
lodge. To those were added a United
States flag. a bible-the Elks singing
Nearer My God to Thee''-and an Elk
head. After a lodge ode, W. F. Bur-
nett, chairman Of the building commit
tee, presented the keys of the building
to Exalted Ruler Hughes. who. after
coneratulating the committee upon its
work, turned them over to the trustees
and Esquire Hauser proclaimed the
building dedicated 10 the principles of
the order. Exalted Ruler Hughes then
introduced W. F. Burnett to give the
address of welcome in the absence of
Mayor johnson, referring t Mr.. Burnett
as the future district deputy of North
Dakota.
Mr.. Burnett said two things overawed
him : it was the 6rst time he had ap-
peared before an audience in the new
hall and the first time he had stood in
the shoes of the mayor. He gave a lit
tie sketch of the origin and wonderful
growth of the or6er. He said while Elks
believe in having a good time, they al
so stand for. something more and were
this not true they would never have in
creased SO rapidly. In the for-get-me-
not. the flower of the order, he saw a
symbol Of the fraternal spirit of the
EElks. Mi. Burnett wished the visitors a
happy time and said locks had been
broken, keys thrown away and doors
opened wide, and the city and the
homes of the city belonged to the visi-
tors.
Miss Marjorie Stickney at this point
made a great hit by her rendition of

off and the banks were closed. Perhaps
the latter so that checks issued by local
Elks for the entertainment of their
friends would not be presented for pay
ment until the fun was all over. After
facetiously referring to the Apostle
Paul's advice as to liquid refresh
ments. Mr.. Simpson spoke eloquently
of the grand, noble work of the Elks, to
advance mankind in general and each
man in particular.
Miss Stickney sang very sweetly Good
Night Little Girl Good Might and gave
a second song in response to continued
applause.
Mr.. Hughes then introduced the
speaker of the evening, George P.
Jones. as North Dakota Elkdom's man
eloquent, Jones of Rock"
Mr.. Jones said that in all his eight
years residence in the state he had
never found so much pleasure in coming
, before an audience. He divided his
address into a discussion of what the
Elks are, what they are doing and what
they stand for.
In 1867 in New York, soon after the
Civil war, when there was felt a need
of closer companionship, ten theatre
people organized the Jolly Corks."

THE WEST VIRGINIA ELECTION.

In the Congressional election held in the Third
Maine district September Republican was chosen
to succeed Republican The election in the First
West Virginia district Tuesday resulted in the choice
of Democrat to succeed Democrat.
The Republican nominee in Maine had shown
pronounced progressive tendencies speaker of the
assembly and received large vote from those who
had supported the Progressive party in the Presi-
Dental election. And in West Virginia many Pro-
gressives supported the Republican candidate in
direct fight on the tariff ISSUE
The fact that the Democratic candidate in Maine
was given about the same vote cast for President
Wilson and that there has been overturn in West
Virginia would seem to indicate disposition the
part of the voters not to lay weight upon the tariff
question at this time In the past the back fire in
elections held within a year after the passage Of
tariff legislation of any kind has been regarded
almost inevitable, but this year there has been no
sign of it. If general deductions may be drawn, it
would appear that the country is willing to let the
President 60 ahead with his policies until it under
Sands them more fully and is in better position to
approve or condemn them as whole.

SAVING THE GAME BIRD.

The day that President Taft became Professor Taft
he signed the most important game bill in the history
of this country. President Wilson is now engaged
in continuing the work of saving our migratory game
birds from defamation, if not determination. The
new law is effective beginning November l..
Between 1910 and 1913 the American people
exterminated the following birds: Great aux,
paas cormorant Labrador duck, passenger pig
con, Eskimo curew, Cuban tricolor, Gosse's and
Guadalupe macaws yellowwinged green parrot, pur-
pie Guadaloupe, and Carolina parakeets Out of
900 passenger pigeons half century ago,
there remains just living species that is now in
the Cincinnati geological gardens
Heretofore it has been the custom to shoot nj
gratory game birds, the principal species of which
ducks, geese, and swan together with shore birds
all along the Atlantic coast line, practically an un-
interrupted open season from fall to the following
spring This vast army of sportSmen has been esti-
m, ted in accordance with hunting licenses issued, at
100000.
In the proclamation just issued by the President
practically closed season is placed on migratory
wild fowl north of latitude 10 degrees after Decem-
Der l6, and in the States south of latitude 40 de-
grees January l6 begins the close season, with few
exceptions.
This means that there is hope for some of the
North American birds which have been threatened
with early determination.

Here's a Book

Inc Headquar .er Recruit" by Rien-
ard Dehan, published by the Frederick
A. Stokes Company of New York
Short stories are hard to write, and
really good ones are as rare as the
proverbial teeth of the hen. Richard
Dehan knows how to write short
stories, and the collection under the
name of The Headquarter Recruit"
which has just been published by the
house OF Scribner, Is exceptional. Not
every one Of them has the snap and
comeback which makes the reading OF
o. Henry's tales so fascinating, but all
are stamped with a charm which indi-

norance of the real conditions and call

Is a work Of art Kindly humor, plots
of great originality, and a thorough
understanding of widely differing indi-
vidualities, mark the work of Richard
Dehan. The tales of English life in
the colonies, which indicate a thorough
appreciation Of army affairs, while rerni-
niscent Of Kipling. are nevertheless dis
tinguished by the definite and fascinat-
ing style of the author. He understands

A SQUARE DEAL BUDGET.

Details concerning the District of Columbia est
mates for the coming fiscal year are not yet made
public; but it is generally understood that especial
effort has been made to give square deal to all sec
tons of the city. For years there has been complaint
tcat the northeast and the southeast have not had
er fair share of attention and appropriations The
rev Board of Commissioners have devoted especial
EFFORT to determine how far such complaint is justi-
fed, in order that they might nelligeny proceed to
correct any evils.
To this end the three Commissioners have dill
gently toured the city and seen for themselves,
They have supplemented what they saw with what
they could learn in conference with representative
Citizens and organizations in all the sections.
In the past this business of'mantaining touch with
physical conditions and needs has been too much
turned over to the Engineering Department 1t was
unfair both to the engineer officers and to the civil
Commissioners. The community is entitled to the
best judgment of the whole commission when large
questions of social and public policy are involved
The present Engineer Commissioner is to be COM
mended for seeking the largest measure of co-opera-
ton from his colleagues in these regards

THE PROBLEM OF MEAT.

All the world is worried about meat supplies fol
the future, and with reason. Argentina and Australia
if they divert some of their meats to this country
will merely create vacuum in Europe Yet of all
countries, the United States has best reason to hope
supplies may increase with the demand.

duties Yet more viii come later. Canada will for
a long time be able to supply the range stock ths.
has largely disappeared from our own farther West
by reason of the cutting up and fencing of the ranges
The northern states of Mexico constitute as fine a
cattle range country as there is in the world. With
safe government restored-and it surely will be, one
day-that section would be another Texas for cattle
supplies; maybe couple of Texases.

SENATOR POMERENE's ADDRESS.

dressing the Chamber of Commerce last evening
he talked of his ews-and they are we'll known to be
also the views of the legislative committees and of
the Administration about the the management of
public utilities
Senator Pomerene wants no injustice done to any
interest," but he has been turning over in his mind
the thought that one traction corporation in this town
IS capitalized at almost S300000 mile and another
at almost 100000. He guesses that universal trans
ters between those two companies will do no grave
injustice So do we
The Pomerene speech should give hope and
cheer TO every publicspirited resident of the Dis
trict. Think back just handful of years, to the
time when Senator who introduced universal
transfer Amendment was denounced on the Senate
floor and the whole organization of the Senate Joined

secured. Surely it will be conceded that change for

II is not over six years since the Senate District
Committee was an absolutely impossible obstacle to

A NEW COMMERCE COMMISSIONER

Charles A. Prouty, for seventeen years mem
Der of the Interstate Commerce Commission, is to
retire and take general charge of the business
valuing the railroads. This leaves vacancy which
will be filled only with great difficulty for Mr. Prouy
is one of the great specialists in regulation of inter-
state carriers With all credit properly due to other
men, Prouty occupies foremost place among the
men who pressed upon the public that nssten appeal
which brought the legislation of 1906. 1t was work
of education of arousng popular interest in COM
plex subject and Prouty at the risk of his position
and career, had the courage to do what needed
His retirement leaves Judge Clements as the sole
remaining veteran of the old commission, serving the
last months of term that will expire with the close
of this year. That Judge Clements will be reappoint-
ed is regarded by the friends of the commission and
the law both fitting and likely. Meantime comes
the problem of filling the Prouty vacancy.
When Commissioner Lane retired to become i
Cabinet member, President Wilson instituted the
plan of promotion within the commissions service and
named John H. Marble to be commissioner. 1t was a
practical application of the merit system. The
procedure would indicate Patrick ]. Farrell as the
commissioner to succeed Judge Prouty.
Mr. Farrell is general solicitor to the commission
possessor of great fund of expert knowledge gained
through long and very successful service in that ca
paciy The record of cases in which he has appeared
before the Supreme Court in the effort to get the
law interpreted in the largest interest of the public
demonstrates that he possesses both knowledge of the
law and the confidence of the court His service in
this capacity, on the interpretive side, has not been
second to that of Prouty and Clements and Lane on
tie constructive side. At time when the veterans
of the commission are leaving, and when new and
very important questions command its attention, it
is of the utmost importance that with grasp ex
perience and full sympathy with the purposes Of the
law should be put this commission. 1t has many
times been said that the commission has been more
remote from politics than any other instrument of
the Government save the Supreme Court. That is
where it should be kept; to that aoofness it owes
largely its unique standing in the confidence of the
public and the railroads alike. Mr. Farrell is man
who could not possibly be an experiment or an un-
certainty. He has all the qualifications, and he de-
serves the promotion.

ITHE work Of setting type is one CT
the most important branches
Of the printing trade and re-
qures a certain amount of
skill which can only be acquired by
experience. Therefore the experienced
reliable typesetter Is a valuable man in
the printing business.
There are several definite classes nj
! typesetters or compositors. The jon
compositor employed in the setting of
type for books is one of them. Another
very important olass of compositors
| consists of the men engaged in the
newspaper printing Offices working the
linotype machines.
Every young man who desires TO be-
come a typesetter must possess a Ger
| tain definite liking for mechanical work.
He must have a quiskness of eye, be
rapid in his movements, and at all
times be wide awake. He must
especially be master OF spelling and
punctuation and have a good gram
! mar school education.
Almost all successful typesetters be-
long to the union of their trade. In
the majority OF newspaper shops type
settlers must be members OF the Typo
graphical Union.
The only way 10 learn the work of
typesatting Is to enter printing shop
as An apprentice. Three TO five years
is the time usually required to complete
the term OF apprenticeship. All learn
ers receive a small wage during the
period of apprenticeship which varies
with the locality. size OF shop and kind
OF printing done. The average pay, how
ever. is 81 per day. At the end OF three
to five years the young man becomes P

titled to full pa!.
Most typesetters receive from s2i TO $G6

receive more. The highest paid men in
this line Of business are those engaged
in setting up type for advertisements.
This work requires special care and
