BREAKING OF GLASS PUTS A
HALT ON ROBBERY
John Meyers, who works at II w.
Monroe street, stopped in doorway
to light a cigar while on his way to
work yesterday morning. He heard
the sound of glass breaking.
Three men were rifing a window
in the jewelry store Of LebOlt & Co.,
State and Monroe streets. Meyers ran
to nearby restaurant and got Po-
Hceman Frank Newman.
Together they hoofed it north on
State street in pursuit, with New
mans gun playing a steady tattoo.
Two of the men turned down an al
ley and emerged on Dearborn street,
where Officer Frank Jacobson trip
ped one of them and he was caught.
The others got away
The prisoner gave his name as
Frank Reimer. At Madison and Clark
streets he threw handful of dia-
inond rings away. They amounted to
about $4,000 Only a part of them
were recovered.
TRIB RAPS PARMALEE co.
The Trib pulled a good story this
morning. 1t dealt with the high
handed monopoly which the Frank
Parmalee Company cabs and taxicabs
enjoy at the various railroad depot.
The Parmalee company taxis has
this privilege exclusively and it seems
they're able to sting the incoming
passengers for as much as they
want to.
The story oughtn't to increase any
friendship between the McCoEmicks
and John. Shaffer of the Post. John
is the head of the Parmalee Company.

Devils Lake, N. D., Feb. 2s.-su.
p~erintendent J. A. Haig has already
started plans for the Ramsey county
summer school session which will be
held in conjunction with the coun-
ties Of Rolette, Towner and Pierce
at Chautauqua this summer. Mr.. Haic
is writing the superintendent of these
counties on matters which must be
closed at once. The session is ia
last six weeks and will be open
ed so that the teachers may receive
the benefits of the Chautauqua pro-
gram. The Cllautauqua directors
have consulted the superintendent OF
these counties and superintendent Y,
g. Barnell as to the choice Of talent
and when selection is made they will
be asked to give an opinion. While
Chautauqua is in session the classes
will close at 1880 o'clock and this will
give the teachers all the afternoon
and evening to prepare their work for
the next day and enjoy the attractions

COMMON SENSE IN LAWS
Federal Officer Urges PracticibaAt,
and Adeuuate ADMINISTRATIONS

Chicago, Feb. 26.-Common sense
in public health administration was
emphasized by Assistant Surgeon
General Rucker of the federal public
health service, addressing the Chi
cago Medical society.
He said that it is entirely proper
to insist on the abolition ofrthe COM
mon drinking cup, but insistence that
cups be furnished and sterilized is as
ridiculous as the Individual door
knob would be.
Some recommendations by un.
trained enthusiastics bear close re-
semblance to the royal society's rec
onmendation regarding bathing.
These, reduced to lowest terms, do
battle"
Common sense in public health
administration comprehends the en-
ployment of well trained health Of
Ulcers at adequate salaries. and with
sufficient funds to- administer laws
with specific Liquidation, having as q
foundation a basis OF fact and prac-
ticabiEity. Fact, NOT theory, must be
the basis of our action as disease ID
not a ghost but a reality. Common
n application knowledge alone
can control it. )
The sanitary millennium will never
come. but research and, n common
sense administration will bring II
nearer" 83l94 . -

ALFALFA prizes
TO NORTH DAKOTA
All Awards for This Grass
at Dallas Exhibit 90 to
Dakotano.

Fargo. n. d.. Feb. 2~6.-Professor
Dynes of the agricultural college has
yust returned from Dallas Texas.
where he had charge Of the North Da-
kota exhibit at the National Corn ex-
position. He states that the North
Dakota booth was one Of the prettiest
from the artistic viewpoint Of the
twenty-seven booths there, represent.
ing as many states. The exhibits were
q part Of the show separate from the
competitive side. In the competitive
side he stated that North Dakota took
everything in the prizes offered for
seed alfalfa. This fact is important
as 1t shows that the North Dakota
climate and the general conditions Of
the state are the best for the produc-
ton Of the alfalfa seed. In the south
ern state the seed does not set, but
1t does SGT here in North Dakota and
thus a new field is opened up for
farmers In the production Of alfalfa
seed.
Professor Dynes took a very inter-
esttng trip to San Antonio, where he
visited the historical mission. Almo,
in which 200 Texans held the fort
against 1900 Mexicans. in the Texan
war of independence, for eleven days,
finally having to give in and they were

business of the state. and the wisdom
of the last legislature in authorizing
the commission to formulate a uniform
system of bookkeeping for elevators
and providing for examiners in the
employ of the board has been amply
demonstrated in the past year.
While the LAW is IL step i'm the
right direction, it does no. so far
enough. and undoubtedly the next

road commission for authority TO
place the grain elevators Of the state

DRUG VICTIMS RELIEF SOUGHT,
Proposed Law Would Have User Sen,
to HOSPITAL. Not to Prison.

" ~ AAoOIhs
Albany. N. V. Feb. ga plea for
the relief Of drug victims was made
by DR.. Charles A. Towns, of New
York before a legislative hearing yes
terday on bills designed to restrict the
sale Of habit forming drugs.
THE drug problem in the under
world is one for the police to cope
WITH" DR.. Towns said, but drugs
have worked a greater havoc in the
upper world than in the underworld
and here havoc has been wrought
upon men and women who really are
worth while and whom it is the duty
of the medical profession. drug trade
and everybody who lays the slightest
serve"
The feature Of the proposed laws
is a provision designed to treat those
who obtain drugs in violation of the
law as victims of disease and not as
criminals. This provision would give
the magistrate authority to commit
habitual users Of drugs to hospitals
instead OF prison.

STATE SUPERVISION Of ELEVATORS
on SANE BASIS AS BANKS IS URGED

upon the right to keep or not keep
real books as they choose.
There is no disposition on the
part of the commission to entail
hardship upon The grain trade; on
the contrary, it believes this business
money annually than all the banks in
the state put together-to be the most
intimately important to the grain
growers, for upon the integrity. fair
dealing and %solvency of the elevators
largely depends the welfare OF our
greatest state industry. Happily most
of these small houses are ably man
pleasure at h idea of state super
vision in all the term implies. but on
the other hand. the experience OF the
commission has shown a great many
Instances Of most lamentable de-
triencN in management or reasonable
care in conserving the interests OF
customers. or even protecting the
company's w investment: and the
experience of the commission has
also shown that from this latter clas IS
comes the greatest opposition to any
supervision whatever.
Would Not he Hardship.

ton is bound to come. The railroads.

peer placed under the control Of the
state and nation. For years the farm
ers have been ~endeavoring to secure
from congress a grain grading law.
which would practically place the
grain trade under national super
vision, this on the theory that a grain
warehouse is 4 public utility as much
as certain other lines of business
serving the people. Modes of con-
Quoting business have been prescribed
for the other utilities. so it seems TO
US, in the light of modern thought,
that the grain business should live up
to the rules and regulations prescribed
D. the state.
Would Strengthen Elevators
Full state supervision would
strengthen the elevators in the ewes
or their customers: it would not at

c,ent the inefficient. It would prob
anly stop the wasteful declaring of
ui'ioeHuS 10 the detriment of the
business; it would compel the set
