claimed authority. Following the
refusal of the mayor to pay him
for his services Alderman Lowell
presents a bill for his services as
street commissioner but no evi-
dence of any work on the street
was furnished with the voucher
nor by MIR. Lowell. After a heat
ed discussion all street and alley
bills were laid on the table. Nj.
J. Moran's bill and the bills ap-
proved by him for his brother
amounted to over $40O. The
mayor challenged the alderman
for attempting to use the street
and alley fund to reward their
friends for fighting and opposing
him. refusing to recognize his or
d-rs and throwing his supporters
in Jail illegally.
The meeting did not adjourn
until after midnight and before
adjour>;ng the mayor asked for
a reconsideration on the appoint
ment of S. A. Smith for chief of
police and ]. R. Waters for aud
itor. which was followed by a
motion by Alderman Linger to
confirm with the result that the
other five voted no and Beach
still remains without an auditor.

for Policeman
Action of City Conucil in Refu.-
ing to Recognize Needs of Pol
'cemen Repudiated by Citi-
zens Wko Subscribe Money
For Night Watchman.

At meeting of the citizens of
Beach last week called for the
purpose of considering the coun-
ty seat campaign, the question of
the needs of night watchman
was brought up and all present
expressed themselves strongly in
favor Of police protection. espe-
cially during the night, ard a sub
scription paper was circulated
pledging money to hire a private
'atchman until such time as the
city council would act. Those
who took part in this step were
practically all supporters of the
anti-Brinton alderman and it is a
case of the council being repud-
lated by their own friends.
We understand that about $50
was pledged to be paid monthly
and the friends of the alderman
who circulated the petition have
employed M. ]. Moran as their
private policeman,he having been
sworn in as deputy sheriff by
Sheriff Madison.
The city council some time ago
in order to prevent the mayor
from appointing police officers
passed a resolution against the
employment of night watchman
and in their determination to op-
pose the mayor have stood pat
upon this resolution until absol-
ute necessity has forced their
own friends to repudiate their Of
fetal action.

Asked for a brief description
of what he saw along the battle
line, Hayes declared;
The battle front these days
is far different from what it used
to be. There are a few men to
be seen. and practically no guns.
All are concealed. Shrapnel

Stock Shippers
Will Be Heard
Hearing Before Interstate Com
merce Commission Oct. FL,
On IMPORTANT Matter.

A matter of considerable in
terest to farmers and the smaller
stock shippers of the state. more
particularly in the western part of
it, will be the hearing before Ex-
aminer Dow of Bismarck, Octo-
Der II. The hearing will be held
at the Federal building at ZOO
p. In.
Some time since, the railroads
of the west gave notice of an in
tention, on a near date, that they
would withdraw the privilege
heretofore granted to shippers of
live stock to load and unload at
one or more places until the ship
ment YVES complete or delivered.
On representations being made
to The state railroad commission
that the abrogation of this privil-
ege would work a hardship to
stock shippers, the commission
asked the interstate commerce
commission to suspend the pro-
posed rule until the shippers
could be heard, and this request
vas granted and a hearing set be-
fore the national commission late
in November. Other states have
also taken up this matter and as
a consequence Examiner Dow
has been sent out to hold local
hearings.
As this particularly effects the
smaller shippers of stock. it is
hoped those that will be injured
by the proposed change in the
rules will attend the Bismarck
hearing. as it is incumbent upon
them to prove their case.

Auditor or Chief of Police
Pass resolutions Taking Mrs.
Richards Addition Into the
CITY.

The city council met in resu-
lar session last Monday night, with
Mayor Brinton and all the alder
man present. On account of
there being no auditor the read
ing of all previous minutes of
meetings were laid over and reg
ular business taken up.
Mrs. Richards was present ask
ing tor the extention of the sewer
and water into her addition to
the city and this will be done as
soon as possible. The final read
ing and passage of the resolution
annexing her addition to the city
OF Beach was acted upon and the
following the required publica-
ton her addition will become part
of the city.
A little friction was caused
when acting Clerk Lowell presen-
ted bill of over 5000 on behalf
of M. ]. Moran for services as
street commissioner and another
bill for Pat Moran for street work
which was approved by his broth
er as street commissioner. M. J.
Moran had put in a bill as chief
OF police for services after he had
been removed by the mayor and
the council allowed the bill, but
the mayor refused to issue a war
rant, except for the amount due
him up to the time of his dis
charge. After being discharged
Moran still policed the streets and

SUFFRAGE NOTES

The Memorable tour of Mrs.
Antoinette Funk of Chicago
through North Dakota in the in
terests of woman suffrage came
to a close at Minot last Sunday.
Very fortunate indeed were the
towns privileged to hear her.Mrs.
Funk is sometimes spoken of as
the most able lawyer in the Unit
ed States. She was raised in a
legal atmosphere and as a child
spent almost as many hours in
the court room as she did in the
school room.
She became interested in suf-
rage several years ago and was
appealed to by the women of
Illinois during their campaign at
Springfield for the present suff-
rage act She won the leaders in
both the republican and demo-
cratic sides and. more than any
other person, made it possible
Tor the advocates or woman Suft-
rage to declare on the floor that
this was non PARTISAN measure.
A simple, shrewd, unassuming
little woman. Mrs. Funk combines
pretty nearly all the qualities
which make for success with pub
lie audiences. She understands
politics thoroughly ard what is
more unusual. she seems to un-
derstand politicians as yell. Mrs.
Funk is the mother Of two grown
daughters cf whom she is very
proud. Both the girls have made
their maiden speeches on behalf
of woman suffrage.

lawyer, if he loves the institutions
Of his country, to heed the demand
for genuine reform, and to assist in
making our trial courts efficient and
capable. When the people com
plain" says Mirabeau. the people are
always right In order I. cure the
existing evils. judges must be gwen
greater power and must be held to
more rigid accountability. It is a re-
prOach to our form OF government
that they are SO poorly compensated
that they cannot make provision
against coming old age and inhrnni-
ty, and they should be and must be
provided with ample pensions, when
too old for the active duties OF their
exalted stations.
Are Judge Woods and Judge Con-
nor more useful at Richmond than al
Columbia or Raleigh, or do the Unit
ed States esteem these eminent jur-
| StateS?
The obvious but fallacious reason
for the mali salaries now paid to
our State judges is given, that North
Carolina, South Carolina and other
States are too o to pay larger sal.
aries, and as for old age pensions,
they are quite out Of the question. The
contrary is the case, these States and
| all other States are too poOr to pay
good salaries n not to !naugurate
a system OF old age pensions. A
poor judge comes high at any price.
State Judgeship Honorable.
Why should we expect a lawyer 20
sacrifice a lucrative n permanent
practice for a thin and scant judg-
ship, however honorable? The Office
of a State judge, in these latter days
OF inflated prices, has become but
a matter Of honor, and while honor
will ever remain the last inir1nary OF
&, noble mind, it will not set a leg nor
pull a tooth. 1t we get a thoroughly
competent man On the bench, the
chances are that in a few years cir
cumStances will force him to resign,
indeed designations are following fast
and faster to such an extent that the
trial courts are lacking in continu-
lty. The office OF g. judge is SO exalted
it demands such varied learning, tact,
ability and cOmmOn sense, it touches
h people at so many points, life,
limb, liberty. property, security and
happiness, that the trOnges men
should be called into service and their
compensation should be on a par with
that of other successful business men,
sucn as u merchant, ma~nufacturer
farmer. Imagine a Judge OF yous
highest court commanding a salary OF
100000 a year.
Would Organize the Judges.
It has been quite a fancy Of mine
for years hat the Judges should or.
ganize, Just as do the lawyers, anG
doctors and bankers, and ~osteopaths
and other classes. This is the prac-
tice in England. Once q year. all III,
English judges meet in London, il

! der existing laws. to grant the petition. The open and closed seasons were
 specifically fixed by the act of con-
 gress approved May II. 1908. and the
 law contains no provision which would permit the secretary of agriculture to
 shorten the closed season. while the migratory bird law, which was ap- proved March 4. 1s1S. might possibly be construed to permit the secretary of agriculture to modify the regula. tions governing bi d shooting in Alas
 ka, 1t is very doubtful, and such q construction would, believe. be con- trary to the intent of congress Even if such a construction were possible. the secretary would have no authority under the law to alter the provisions
 which prohibits t,.e shipment or sale of game during the closed season. IT. therefore, the act approved March 4. 1913, could be construed to give the secretary of agriculture authority to extend the open season for shooting 
 birds in Alaska, a serious conflict
 would arise. and, furthermore. tt
 would open up the whole question of
 spring shooting on the Pacific coast. In view of the foregoing. the de-
 partment has reached the conclusion
 that 1t cannot do otherwise than de-
 cline to grant the petition or make any modification in the game regula-
 tions relating to Alaska.
 In this connection, however. would
 call your attention to the fact that
 there is a provision in the Alaska game law which provides that nothing
 in the law shall prevent the killing cf any game animal or bird for food or clothing at any time by natives or by
 miners or explorers when in need of food. but that the game animals or
 birds 90 killed during the closed season cannot be shipped CT sold.

In answer to . letter written by Dr. Mustard as president of the Nome Chamber of Commerce to Delegate Wickersham regarding the closed sea- son for bird shooting In Alaska Wick ersham makes the following reply:
 Your telegram and letters about closed season for bird shooting has al- most disrupted the bureaus and agri- cultural departments. After incubat- ing for some weeks they have conclud- ed that they will do nothing. which guessed at the beginning. There is no difficulty to get laws. rules and reg ulations restricting the people of the territory of Alaska In the shooting of game or breathing the fresh air. but any effort to get little more freedom along these lines is met with an in stant rebun. sand you herewith ] copy of a letter which have just received from the secretary of agricul- ture In which he soes over the situa- tion fully and says he cannot do It. The truth is the department is against anymore liberal esme laws for bird shooting in Alaska I doubt if there will be any chance to get a change in these laws since ihe department and bureau will strongly oppose any more liberality and shall certainly oppose any further restrictions.
