Importance to this city. The one item
in monthly salaries paid to railroad
employees Of this line is over $4,000

East Grand Forks Banks

The real wealth and prosperity of
the citizens Of this city and the farm
ers tributary to it, is best reflected by
the deposits of the First National and
First State banks that aggregate
$670,000. This, however, does not
show the real financial condition, ow-
ing to the intertwined community Of
interest existing between East Grand
Forks and Grand Forks. Still 1t is

This is certainly a magnificent
showing and places Polk as the pre-
mier county in Minnesota as to fer
tility of the soil. Of which Crookston
is the county seat and East Grand
Forks ranks second in population,
while in wealth and business oppor-
tunities its only rival. There are ten
incorporated cities in Polk which &C
cording to the United States census
of 1919 had a population as follows:
Crookston, 1859; East Grand Forks,
1888; Fosston. LOIS: Mcintosh, 634;
Fisher, 1928; Erskine. 324: Climax,
269; Mentor, 222; Langby, 1877, and
Beltrami. 149. All OF these cities
showed remarkable growth, but none
Of them were in the class Of East
Grand Forks. Crookston with its pop-
ulahon In 1910 OF 1853 only made an
increase Of 4.1o2 from 1890 to 1910.

75th BIRTHDAY OF KING CHARLES |. OF ROUAlANIA.

Rounania.s rise from g. position of aIavish subjection to Turke ey to a free and independent nation. the most pros gressive and enlightened of the Bai-H kan states has been accomplished during the reign of one monarch. Charles who was born Prince of Hohenzone Tern gmaringen just three-q quarters of century ago to- day, April 20. 1888. He was elected prince or hospodar of Rounanla by a pIebiscfte on April 20. 1ss6, his twenty seventh birthday, and was crowned king in 1881.
 The territory of Rounaania, recently increased by conquest of vaIu- able stretch of country from Bulgaria conaprises the old Danubian. princi- palities of Wallacnia and Moldavia, of which the capitals were Bucharest, now the seat Of government of the kingdom and Jassy. respectively. These provinces formed part Of the ancient Dacia. Roman province which was subdued by Trajan, in oe Tn the following century Dacia was abandoned tosthe Goths, and subse quently it was snecessively held by the Huns. the scythians. by Charle-8 magne. and by the Magyars and the Turks. Russia annexed part of Moldavia about a century ago. and in 1921 walachia and Moldavia were placed under the protection of the Czar, although still Turkish territory. In 1854 the Russians quit the prov inces, but the Austrians enterc@ 1nd remained until the government of the municipalities was settled at a -aris conference. whereby there were to be two princes sor hospodars. chosen by elective assemblages. and the suzer s a.inty of Turkey was to be preserv- ed, Alexander Couza was elected hospodar of both provinces. The un- ion of the provinces under the name of Roumania was proclaimed and ac- know1edged by the Porte in 1861. Five years later a revolution forced the abdication of Prince Couza- The provision government offered the crown to the Count of Flanders. father of the present king of Belgium.

LACKS TRAINING FOR JOB
ET. IF BE TAKEN with a grain of salt

EFT IT BE TAKEN with grain of salt that .h< Mr. MeIen is to lead a great organiza- ton of railroad brotherhoads. If such an ex- pertinent should be attempted it would almost certainly be failure Neither by training, knowledge, nor temperament is the former rail- road president adapted to such a task MT. Mellen has devoted his life to the accumulation of wealth. The later years ofshis career have been spent in atmosphere Of adulation, especially that in the public press was acquired by system not much different than that adopt ed by popular actor to make himself known, but it was adulation Only for few brief months at the end of his service was MT. Mel len subjected to the s1ines and arrows, not of outrageous fortune, but of fortune outraged If report be true he has suffered greatly Under this change Of environment, and would be eer- tain therefore to suffer more under the con- tuIneIy to which those are exposed who lead labor on it's long road to improved conditions.
 The modern labor leader must be 8 student as well man Of affairs He must be 8 so- #ciologist as well as an enconomist He must be above the temptations Of graft however sub- tie the form in which the graft is offered.
 E $ Mr. Melleny after long service with the New Haven monopoly, saw the organization of which he was the head brought to it's knees its stockholders stripped Of q large portion of the value Of their investments. Ho said, when at last the lisgraceful facts came to Ii ght sA had nothing to do wifi it. It was not my fault I advised against it.'' He was sort of glorIfied office boy, presumably because that way his iob remained and his wealth increased
 But if the leaders of labor were kind of men who would consent to be office boys, while some clique Of Insiders destroyed their organi szafions, inc labor movement would be still in it's infancy and men like MT. Me len would not consent even to treat with labor, much less de- sire to lead it.

MAY0,s DEMAND ON ZARAGOZAI

 government, requiring that 8 salute should be fired to the American flag was made by Admiral Mayo, in q com Inunication address ed to General Zaragoza, on April g,
 Admiral Mayo said 2: r ssss Esi

 This sh5uld settle any dispute as to the propriefy of firing salute in return. If this is done it vii not be in response to request by Huerta, but as part of the conditions laid down for the American people by Admiral Mayo, and in accordance with the usages of na- Stions In such cases <
 As for the allegation taat MT. Huerta will claim the salute as a recognition of his govern n1ent, this seems to- be the invention of some aEaate di pIonat the office of sensational newspaper
 The United State vii not have recogniz- ed Huerta's government until it has recognized il. Any claim Huerta might make. to the contrary would make him ridiculous, and if he should assume before the world the altitude Of government Tt recognized by this gov ernnnent he might bring himself again into an attitude of hostility and be again compelled to make amends.

CARTIER.

The first white man to penetrate into the interior Of what is now the DoninIon of Canada was Jacques Cartier. Breton mariner who sailed on his first voyage to the New world. with two srnaJ ships and 12o
 men. from st. Malo 2sso years ago today. Cartier passed along the shores of NewfoundI land and Prince Edward Island and landed on the shores Of New Brunswick, where he was welcomed by friendly Indians. Later he set up across on the Gaspe shore, and. sailing past the entrance to the St. Lawrence returned to France. On his second voyage in 45s5 Cartier sailed up the St. Lave renee to the sites of Quebec and Moh- treaf. then occupied by Indian viI-l Iages, After Winter Of terrible suf- fering during which many of the adventurers died, Cartier returned home. taking with him King Don nacona and nine chief ass trophies. This treachery turned the Indians against the whites. and the Indians. destined never to see their native land again left legacy of woe to the future French settlers in Canada Cartier made third voyage to Can ada in 1s41 but by that time he was utterly weary of adventu turing. and soon returned home to die in peace.

 Tn England the suffragists go on hunger strikes and refuse to eflt. Over here they at tack their opponents at afternoon teas with lavish and more or less indigestible suppl es of cookies, candy. wafers and punch.

THE ATTEMPT TO ASSASSTNATE MITCHELL
THE ATTEMPT to assasslnate Mayo

EHE ATTEMPT to assassinate Mayor
 Mitchell is without significance in a political sense. The who fired the bullet is 72 years old, weak minded friendless and penniless. In properly organized society he would neither be at large, and especially not at large, armed. It is something to be grateful for, that the fellow is not an anatchist. and does not represent the creed of any organized hatred of society upper servants The mania for assassination is getting, in this country, 10 be a very real threat to those who hold com spicuoHs public office. The motives that move thess weak minded men are varied Perhaps the main spring is a certain primitive envy, sccompazied by the feeling that the person in authority has power to relieve the sufferings of which the man of waning intellect feels him self the victim, and thas the person in power will not do. so-
 Thus Mahoneyfs assault appears to have been inspired by the circunls tance that he tried to sec Mayor Mitchell and was not admitted.
 There is a certain lesson in the. presence of this type of men in the colh1atlnit ty The social health can be inproveds There can be less in temperance, and less poverty, and then there will be less disease of the kind which takes mr1z's minds away.

MISPLACED LAUGHTER

MERE IS NO REASON why anybody
 should laugh at The Golrant' as sertion thatIfhe failure of one voting machine mi ght cast gubernatorial or presidential elecs ton into doubt The statement is indisputably and transparently true Any sufficient error in any ballot might doIf. Those who laugh at our contemporary are thought1ess, and ribald persons who respect neither age, nor logic.
 It being admitted that the sufficient fail- ure of voting machine may cause an election dispute, and that any other sufficient voting failnre may do the same thing we arrive at the real question which is as to the comparative possibilities of failure between one system of voting and another.
 A. defect in the old fashioned ballot once. caused all sorts of trouble in this state There have been innuInerable contests and disputes growing out of errors in the old fashioned bal lot.

 Prince Charles of HohenzoIlern- sigmaringen was elected hospodar in 1886, and his arrival in Bucharest was marked by enthusiastic demon- strations.

Napier's system was of immense value in trigonome- tricaI problems, since it's use reduced what had previously been the labor of months to q few days. The pub
 lfcation of Napier,s work in 1914 created q sensation in the scientific world. The invention was completed by Henry Briggs at Oxford, who pub-I lizhed tables a few years later. The method of cornputing by means Of marked pieces of ivory was discov- cred by Napier about the same time, and hence was called .Napier's bones.
