Every resident of Grand Forks
county has reason to be proud of the

is that the view of it, from the direc-

o~bstructed by cheap wooden build

which ought to be. and which must
inevitably be part of the court house

The Mitchell Cabinet.

Our new Mayor takes Office to-day with the first
onerous task of his administration admirably per-
formed. The appointments which he announces are
in plain words notable achievement We say this
with respect both TO the personal qualifications Of
the men selected and the aim and purpose which
runs throughout the list.
The political hack is conspicuous by his absence.
There Republicans and Democrats and Progress
sives among the appointees But obviously the
politics of the individuals counted little nothing.
Broadly speaking, Mr.. Mitchell has made a candid
and consistent effort TO get for each post the avail
able person best fitted to perform its duties And
the politicians he has sent about their business
Upon the list the names of Mr. Bruere, Miss Davis,
Mr. Kngsbury and Mr. AdamsOn stand out for
especial mention Mr. Bruere is young like Mr..
Mitchell, and shares with him and most morals
the distinction of having made mistakes. But his
services to the city have already been considerable,
and for Mr.. AIitchel's chief aid ii would be hard
to suggest man more intimately acquainted with
the citys affairs better qualified to give advice
The selection Of Miss Davis we have already praised,
and of precisely similar fitness is the choice of Mr..
Kingsbury and Mr.. Adamson.
There many misgivings and much cynicism
when Mr.. Mitchell pledged himself to a non-partisan
administration. He has had the courage TO live up
to that pledge in the face OF endless political
pressure lie has, further, had the ability to select
a cabinet which is its justification Of non-par-
tisanship

Mr.. Waldo Gets What He Deserves

The inglorlous exit of Mr. Rhinelander Waldo was
exactly as II should be There has been soft
hearted tendency of late TO treat Mr.. Waldo as a
wel-meaning incompetent who did the best he could
with a very hard job At this soft-hearted season
of the year we have no especial quarrel with such
lenency.
But the events OF yesterday recall the unpleasant
truth That is that Mr.. Waldo has been a Tammany
Police Commissioner with all that the implies.

Why the Worst Murderers Get Of.

The more atrocious the crime the less likely be-
comes its punishment That is the way the lack Of
a verdict in the Schmidt trial works out. There
are people who won't believe that a man will COM
nit hideous murder unless he is insane And
some Of them always find their way into the jury
box To such men the enormty of a crime
is sufficient evidence Of insanity the part of the
one who commits IT,
The moral is that any one contemplating murder
should make up his mind to do it in the most shock
ing and depraved manner possible. Then he may
count upon some humane jurymans sending him 10
one of the asylums for the criminal insane, from
which escape release is almost matter Of course
Ten of the Schmidt jurymen preferred TO face the
possibility of Schmidts going free rather than see
him go to Matteawan They we're of sterner stuff
than juries in the past have been who have COM
promised upon confinement in Matteawan as ade-
quate punishment while winking at the fact that
such confinement is usually brief.
If the monster Schmidt does finally escape pun
ishment perhaps the state will be shocked into
changing the law that the insane murderer may
be pronounced guilty and confined for life. Then 4
compromise which will result In adequate punish
ment and protection for society will be possible to
jures dividing upon the grounds on which the
Schmidt jury divided.

Tammany's Appetite for Reform.

Following the announcement of Tammany-Pro-

ship comes another just portentous, that Speaker
Smith, for Tammany, and Mr.. schaap have COM
bined to revise the Assembly rules In the interest
Of reform and the people They have special quail
ications for the job. Smiths course as Speaker has
proved that rules make no difference as long as
their administrator can disregard them and Schaap
has frequently proved that even good rules cannot
protect those ignorant of them.
Tammany seems to have nothing short Of a tape
worm appetite for progress and reform in thus
swallowing the Progressves and all their doctrines
