and when he'd press them for what
was his, they'd quit his store and buy
at some other place. A few months
ago the Minot merchants got together
and compared notes. They concluded
that they had been E. z. Marks quite
long enough. The professional dead
beat was tabooed and now he's either
paying cash or going without. If he
moves to another town where there is
a retail merchants association, his
record follows him. Dead beats NOV
ing to Minot are known to the trade
before their household goods are un-
packed. This is as it should be. The
man who pays his bills does not want
to help feed the worthless fellow who
doesn't pay. The merchant is entitled
to a reasonable profit and there's no
excuse for him to feed and clothe some
worthless scamp. We have no time
for the man who will not pay when
he can. Swat the dead beat.

giving them hearing, the railroads
terminated all agreements and submit
ted counter proposition that had for
it's purpose the complete revolution of
the system of compensation and the
rules governing the handling Of men
that had required more than thirty
years to build up. Much as the loco
motive enginemen deplore strike,
they voted almost unanimously to re-
ject the proposition of the general
managers. The men feel that they
are not only entitled to maintain such
conditions and agreements as have
been demonstrated to be necessary to

The Independent fears that there
will be strike of the engine men of
the western roads unless the railway
companies reopen negotions with
them. Within a few days, it will be
known definitely whether the engine
men will be called out or not. In 1910,
at conference, the railroads grant
ed the enginemen an increase Of ten
per cent in wages, but in the mean
time, conditions have changed so that
they are not earning as much money
as before. Larger engines have been
installed, the grades have been cut
down, and larger cars added, so that
it is no uncommon sight to see from
60 to 10 cars pulled by one engine.
The earning capacity Of the railroads
has been increased at the expense of
the enginemen. The cost of living has
advanced 25 per cent during the past
five years while the advance in wages
has amounted to but ten per cent. A
short time ago the enginemen demand

The Independent congratulates Ed
ward A. Shirley of the Shirley Groc-
cry Co. on the recognition given him
when he was elected Vice President
of the North Dakota Retail Merchants
Association at their convention last
week. This means that Mr.. Shirley
will eventually head the association
and better man could not be found in
the state. Mr.. Shirley attended the
convention last week and read one of
the very strongest papers ever heard
by that organization on "Needed Leg
islation for Retail Merchants. Mr..
Shirley showed how the North Dako-
ia merchants were compelled to live
up to the pure food laws of the state,
while catalog houses are privileged to
ship any old brand of goods to this
state. He recommends the passage of
federal laws to govern all alike.

This year, farmers tell US, the crops
grown on summer following or fall
plowed fields, are away ahead of
those grown on spring blowing. This,
they say, is not always the case. The
earlier crops are much the better this
year. Rain is needed badly for the
late wheat, barley, flax, etc., and a

are late. The early sown crops could
not look any better, and will make a

One of the most cowardly attacks
we have ever seen in a North Dakota
newspaper was the TRADE of abuse di-
rected against A. M. Thompson of this
city and appearing in recent number
of the Devils Lake Journal, John
Blooms yellow sheet. If we were as
piring to any public Office, we would
want no higher recommendation than
the fact that Colonel Bloom was
against US, for it is we'll known to
the press of the state that whenever
Bloom has his finger in the pie, there's
pretty apt to be- graft connected with
it. Whenever a public official does not
toady to Bloom and allow him to
graft the state, the slippery editor
from Devils Lake denounces him in
bitterest terms. We know why Bloom
does not like Thompson. We happen
to know that Thompson led the fight
in the legislature for the passage of
bill that saved the state good
round sum, a good share of which
would have gone into Blooms pockets.

THE BREACH OF PROMISE HABIT


During the past few weeks there
have been numerous reports Of breach
of promise actions filed by alleged
heart-broken young women. A judg-
ment for $4,000 was affirmed yester-
day, notes the Burlington Gazette, in
favor of a girl who claimed her heart
wounds could be salved by moth
ing but money. A penniless man can
promise'to marry as many girls as he
can interview and there will be no
danger of him being dragged into
court to heal the hurt made by the
broken promise. Money is the great
pain killer for ailments of the affec-
tions. Pappy millionaires become en-
amored of the charms of designing
young women. The net is carefully
spread and Mr.. Mazuma walks into it.
The first thing he knows he has made
all manner of promises which he does
not intend to fulfill-then the public
ity and the court trial. Even the sane
timonious Mr.. Rodeheaver of psalm
singing fame did not escape, but is
paying we'll for fervent promises made
to trusting damsel, which promises
were supposed to wind up with pro-
cession to the alter to the tune of a
wedding march.
When a man promises to marry a
woman and leads her to believe that
he is sincere and then fails to carry
out this obligation, he should pay the
penalty, and it looks as if they are
paying.

The thing that deliberately throws
broken beer bottles along the high

abroad in the land and if apprehended
ought to be dealt with in summary
fashion. There is law against this

punishment consists of county Jail
sentence along with stiff fine.

The Minot speed ordinance for
autos ought to be changed. The linn
it is now eight miles an hour, and any
body who has ever driven car knows
that it is next to impossible to 60 at
so slow a speed. Every auto driver
in the city breaks the ordinance every
time he drives his car Why not place
the limit at, say fifteen miles, and see
that the ordinance is enforced? Over
in France, there is no speed limit, but
the laws regarding accidents are very
rigid, and it has been proven that ac-
cidents are reduced to the minimum.
Why not form an automobile club
in Minot and petition the city "dads'
to place the speed limit at a reason
able figure and then assist them in en-.
forcing it? A club of this sort could
also be very effective in the matter of
good roads and various other matters.

BAN ON WOODEN TRAYS
Authority On Sanitation Says They

we'll as in justice to the customer who

ficer. Mr.. Hart urges the co-opera-
ton of the health authorities and the
Inspector of weights and measures in
abolishing the wooden tray. Mr.. Hart
says that the practice disseminates
even more disease than the house fly,
as the trays used by the average gro
Ger are, he says, laid about loosely
on the counter and not covered or kept
free from contamination, accumulate
dust and germs.
