people into public affairs. And any plan that
doesn't get them to make that entrance win fail
There is way to capture the interest Of ALL
the people in city government and keep them IN
terested and that is to make PUBLICITY recog-
nized function Of city administration.
When public meeting is to be held of great
importance, don't depend on fugitive and anony-
nous newspaper notices; send notice to every
person individually and urge him to be there.
When new ordinance is passed. boil it down,
print it on . card with few added explanations
as to what is expected Of it and why it is neces-
sary, and. put copy in every house in Rich
mond. When question of unusual Importance
is before the people, send out notices to them,
explain the issues, urge them to think it over,
to attend the meeting and to aid nits discussion.
Evey person who serves the public will testify
you have to meet the public MORE than half
way. The merchant doesn't expect people to
break into his store. He goes after them. If
advertising will make private business go, it
will make our public business go. And it doesn't
suffice to tell the public once; we must never
stop telling the public. The interests that lie in
wait to graft on the public's money never sleep.
"The printing and distribution of these cards
and folders would cost money!" Not as much
as might be thought. Enough could be collected
at one enthusiastic mass meeting to pay for a
years publicity. 1t will be worth a thousand
time all it's cost in money. THE PEOPLE
DON'T KNOW HOW INTERESTING A GAME
is THE MANAGEMENT OF A CITY. WHEN
ONCE THEY FIND THAT OUT, NOTHING
WILL BE ABLE TO KEEP THEM AWAY.

uniformed Councilmen.

A number have expressed surprise that men,
bers of the council showed themselves so unin-
formed concerning the transactions Of the board
of works. 1t seemed out city dads didn't know
what improvements had been made or turned
down or were in prospect of making. Nobody
will question that all members of the city admin
istration, if they have any sense of patriotism,
will keep abreast of the activities of the citys
affairs. Every councilman who has a sense of
duty ought to make a continuous study of the
daily events in the administrations work.
This is what they ought to do. But have we
much right to complain if they don't do it? How
can we expect that it would be otherwise than it
is? How much encouragement does council
man ever receive? If he errs, his neighbors
make life miserable for him. If he does good work
they don't open their mouths
How much interest can we expect in a lob
that pays about three dollars a week? How
many who scold the councmen would make
their brains sweat for that magnificent sum?
The city council was necessary institution
in it's day, but its day is now past. To achieve
the best results in our city government, we need
council of just five members on the Job all the
time, paid salary that will command respect
well ability, and made responsible not to a
political party but directly to the people.

Shall We Live Again?

eff a man die shall he live again ?" Job asked
this question thousands of years ago. 1t was
asked by men thousands of years before JOB. IL
is the question we will be asking ourselves IN
the Easter services tomorrow. Men will al
ways be asking it.
And that is one of the reasons for believing
when man dies he will live again. Horses and
cows do not worry about death. Birds have no
fear of it, The fishes are afraid OF PAIN but
do not seem to dread dying. Man alone has come
to be big enough to feel the need OF eternity.
That need within him foreshadows the reality
just as eyes prophesy light the ears prove the
existence of sound, the nervous system OF ma
terial objects. 1t is the capacity for eternal
life in the human soul that makes immortality
probable, else nature has viely deceived us.
But we can have no life without a brain,
somebody said John Fiske characterized this
remark piece of colossal Stiffness. Inc
brain does not CREATE the mind; it merely
TRANSMITS it. 1t is telephone through
which the soul communicates with the world.
Does the destruction of the telephone imply that
the one talking through it has been destroyed?
Eyes, but there can be no life without a
material body. We can not see without eyes, or
hear without ears" Let us not be so sure. The
greatest living psychologists accept 'clairaudi-
Clairaudience is hearing without ears, claivoy-
ance is seeing without eyes. AS for our body,
it is diving all the time. What has become of

Charles Edward Russell in Pearson's
magazine for May.
He declares the street car compan-
les had watered their stock fifty-three
million dollars and were driving their
managers to pay dividends on this fic-
titious valuation. This meant low
wages and long hours for the employ
es. They organized in August. 1918,
to protect themselves against this op-
preston and finally, since their ap-
peals were unavailing, went on a
strike.
But only one newspaper" writes
Russell, the Indianapolis Bun, report
ed these things. The Sun had lately
changed hands. Its new proprietor
ship had no interest in labor organiza-
tons and at that time little enlighten-
ment as to fundamental social condi-
lions. But it thought news was news

Two Men Accused Of Killing
Farmer for Money.

Joseph and Fred La Count of Thief
River Falls have been arrested &C.
cused Of a murder committed four
teen years ago. They were taken to
Crookston and placed in Jail.
Sheriff Kelly of Polk county, who
made the arrests, read the warrant
to the men, explaining that they must
answer to the charge of killing j.
Lande, a Polk county farmer, in 1900.
Joseph La Count turned pale when
he learned that he must face trial for
murder. He staggered as he was TAX
en- in custody by the sheriff.
II don't know anything about it,,
he muttered. -.s- .:~
Fred La Count was unmoved and
remained silent.
The arrests were the result of dis
closures made by farmland who
lives near Crookston. His name is
Poveau and he is said to have been
drunk when he told the story of the
killing of Lande.
Poveau declares he was q witness
to the crime. 81. Fl
He says he promised to keep the
secret provided he was given a part

ICEMEN'S STRIKE SETTLED

Minneapolis Company and Ito En-.
pIoyes Make Concessions.
After a conference the strike Of
Minneapolis ice wagon drivers and
handlers, which began on May IA,
has been settled.
The Cedar Lake Ice company will
put 100 wagons back on the ice routes
and the drivers and helpers will re-
ceive a fiat increase of $3.50 a month
in wages, with a. commission which
will make up at least as much as the
remainder of the raise demanded by
the union.
In return for this concession on
the part of the company the strikers
agreed to a plan of arbitration of all
future difficulties that will preclude
the possibility of any similar tieup of
the ice business in the future.
Both sides were jubilant over the
outcome Of the conference.
