faithfully as she has read the society

waist to steady their stomachs Every
one knows that the devotees of art de-
mand the greatest freedom IN their

some day may mean fame, so this is
probably the most unusual thing they
could think of.
Apologize Presby terian elders admit
that in their desperation they have walked
the deck with n braZen champagne bottle
under each arm, and that they were cured
by this ungodly remedy. ON the other
hand, wide-checkeG sporting men suggest
such mild things as lemons and ginger

nourishment lived for FIVE days on hard
crackers, and insists that they are the
only thing that saved her. Some say
YOU must drink no water: others that you
must take no soup. Old experienced trav-
elers advocate nothing but toast. The
most popular rule for a seasick cure seems
to be: do the opposite OF what you
would naturally do on land"

MAYOR SCOTS ADMINISTRATION,

When public servant is approach
ing the end OF the term for which he
was chosen, and seeks reelection, 1t
is well TO review carefully and Impair
italy his official record and take stock
Of his stewardship. The Times, in
consonance with its duty as news
paper whose aspiration is to serve the
people well in all matters pertaining
TO the public good, has taken the
trouble TO look into the matter of
Mayor James l.. SCOTS administra-
tion and without prejudice or inten-
ton TO reflect upon any other person,
investigation, the details OF which are
matters OF Official record.
When Mayor Scott assumed Office
there was no money in the treasury
and the city was deeply in debt and
its credit impaired. There was cry.
ing need for immediate work and
much Of it. Among his first acts was
10 borrow about sl400; buy teams,
wagon and tools, and begin work
on the streets. The old waterworks
plant on the hill was converted into
a barn and storage quarters for the
city's tools, etc. A street commits
sioner's dwelling was also repaired
and made habitable, and that official
was placed upon salary of sos per
month and required TO stay on the
job SIX days week.
The sum Of $500 was expended for
new fire hose.
Water and light plant bills to the
amount of $500, contracted prior TO
his Induction into office, were paid.
Four hundred dollars have been ex-
pended Ia the construction of new
bridges in the Moore addition to the
city.
One piece OF scrip amounting TO
sl,70O, money due the Forrest City
Manufacturing Company for wood
furnished the light and water plant
during the years 1910 and 1911, was
cashed and taken up.
A city health officer has been en-

pocket, without expectation or desire
OF reimbursement.
The above, in brief, is Mayor
Scott's record for the time he has
served OF course, we do not mean to
say that he has done all those things
without the aid of the board of alder
men; but neither could the board
have accomplished this work without
the hearty, intelligent and earnest CO.
operation of the mayor. He has been
the executive officer, and he has de-
voted his best efforts to the city's up
building and improvement. He says
that with board of aldermen such as
he now has, he can pull the city en-
tirely out of the mire within the next
two years. He has held the position
one term. 1t has ever been a demo.
cratic custom to give good official a
second term, but Mayor Scott asks for
another term on an impartial consid-
Grafton of his merits

R. W. BENSON & CO. +:

ployed at salary of $50 per month,
and he is required to look after the
sanitary conditions of the city, make
frequent inspections and enforce the
health ordinances of the town.
Street crossinge costing $500 have
been constructed.
There is now $1,000 less outstanding
scrip than when Mayor Scott took the
helm Of city government.
Previous TO his administration the
city light and water plant was oper-
ated at loss Of from $500 to $500 per
month The last months (Novem-
ber) report OF the plant showed a
profit of $500. The water at one time
had been cut off leaving the public
without this service for several hours
per day. Now the service is contin-
Gus. And in former times the electric
light service was so unsatisfactory at
times that number Of our merchants
were forced TO install acetylene lights.
Now every business house in town, we
believe, uses electricity.
When Mayor Scott came into Office
the citys credit was 50 bad that the
public refused to supply it on credit.
He had certain bills charged to his
personal account ana thus tided the
city over some very rough places
The street commissioner and other
City officials promptly file their month
ly reports with the mayor and board,
as required by law, and by the insist
ence of His Honor, and these reports
account for all moneys collected,
from whom received, when and what
for, and show TO whom every penny is
paid, what for and when. In other
words, the city government is now
conducted upon strictly business
basis, and systematic bookkeeping is
exacted as with every other success
ful business institution.
When the sheriff and collector turn
ed in the taxes assessed against the
wy ChCi ~ dOIldi uut Tie GUY was
paid in city scrip, not a dollar in cash
being received. 1t can readily be seen
how this state OF affairs would harass
the city administration. but despite
these untoward conditions, the city
government has been placed upon
practically cash basis, and it's credit
Is now frst-class.
Few people realize the number of
appeals for assistance made to the
mayor of town. Mayor Scott has
been the chief almoner OF Forrest City
without cost to the taxpayers People
reaching the city in a destitute con-
dition, sometimes i'll, turn first TO the
mayor, and Mayor Scott has never
yet turned deaf ear TO the cry OF the
needy. He has paid hotel bills for
those without place TO stay, and has
bought railroad tickets and enabled
stranded men, women and children to
continue their journeys. The money
for these purposes has come out OF his

DO Careful About Fireworks.

Is is quite natural for Young
America" to celebrate at Christmas
time. 1t is expected that the boys
shoot off their fireworks and their
popping crackers, but The Times de-
sires to state that in the interests of
the whole city, care should be exer-
cised and no fireworks should be ex-
ploded near the cotton platforms nor
any other place where fire is likely to
originate. Parents should warn their
children against the indiscriminate
and careless use of fireworks, and the
officers of the law should be watchful
and exercise every precaution for the
safety Of the city and the prevention
of fire during the Christmas holidays.
The Times urges its friends TO be
vigilant, and put forth every effort to
prevent fire during the holidays
There should be no shooting of loaded
firearms on the sidewalks, because il
will be remembered that the past two
New Year celebrations resulted In
great damage to the cables and much
expense to the Southwestern Tele-
graph & Telephone Company in this
city. Let us not have a repetition of
these depredations this holiday sea-
son is the urgent plea of The Times,
and we hope II will be needed and re-
membered.

This AFTERNOON
BETWEEN THREE FORCES IN
MooRHEAp WHICH WILL PROB.
ABLY MEAN REDUCTION IN
SALOON LICENSES AT CLOSE OF
LICENSE YEAR.

An important conference was held
at the city hall, this afternoon, and
called to order at 5 o'clock, between
the city council, a committee from
the board of directors of the CONNER
cial club and a committee from the
Loyal Liberty Protective league, a To-
cal organization of liquor dealers.
The conference was for the purpo Of
reaching an amicable understanding
as to the number of retail saloon Ii
to be issued for the new IL
ems period beginning July 1 and the
amount of the fee.
For some time there have been ac-
tivities along the line of bringing the
matter before the council which
should lead to a very much desired re-
duction in the number of saloons in
Moorhead as was tentatively promised
a few years ago, and towards which
a start was made two years ago.
1t is understood that in all probable
ity the conference will decide to ask
the council to reduce the number Of
saloons his year from forty to thirty.
The stand taken by the Loyal Liberty
Protective league is expressed in a
report presented at the conference and
signed by Jacob Keifer, H. Miller.
Ralph Peterson, Julius Aske and w.
H. Diemert. The matter of licenses,
fixing the fee, ETC., will be one Of the
orders of business to he considered
by the new mayor and council at the
first meeting of the new administra-
ton this evening.

DELIGHTFUL SERVICE

A Lenten choral service was the
feature of the Sunday vesper service
at the Congregational church, Moor
head, last night and it was thoroughly
devotional and spiritually helpful. The
principal part of the service was a
delightful n reverential rendition of
a cantata- for use during the peniten-
tia1 season, Via Crucis, by j. w.
CoWie, and arranged for a quartette.
For Passion Sunday the rendition was
particularly apropos. The words OF
the cantata are taken from st. Luke's
account of the events preceding the
crucifixion of Our Lord, beginning
with the sentence, an the evening He
cometh with the twelve"
The prelude describes the as
sembling of the Master and the twelve
in the upper room and is interpreted
by the voices Of the quartette choir
of the church. Mrs. Askegaard, Mrs.
Wheeler, Paul Bunce and Howard
Moody. Miss Lillian c. Wright play
ing the Accomplishments. Next is de-
picted the scenes on the mount Of
Olives and in the garden of Geth-
semane. Advancing with the story,
Christ bfeore the High Priest is des-
cEibed in an intermezzo, solo and
quartette, the solo artistically inter-
preted by Mrs. A~skegaard with Miss
Huntoon singing WITH IHe
~quartette in this division of Cowie's
great work. u
Following were described the scenes
of Christ before PLATE, the road to
Calvary, Calvary, the Darkness, and
the finale, God so Loved the World. A
very beautiful number was the alto
solo, How Long Wilt Thou Forsake Me
o Lord? sung with charming express
sion and sympathy by Mrs. Wheeler.
Howard Moody in his Interpretation
of the solo for the baritone, If 1t Is
Possible Take This Cup From Me,
was rendered Understandings and
beautifully expressed and Mr.. Bunce
tenor, in the role of PLATE met every
demand of the composer. 1t is under
stood that the work will be repeated
during a special service on Good Fri
day evening.
