She Forgot in Watching a Bill Poster.

some day. Besides borrowing needles,
Mrs. lliet charged thread and hooks

and she had to furnish up shcr dress.

provided them with passes. When she
first bought the shop-huw many

had hoped that her windows might be
in demand. But she learned soon that
they were too small and the store
was too insignificant. No ono cver
came her way, and finally she ceased
to hope. and now tried to be content
with an occasional moving picture.
Eut it was hard.
She turned from the door. A tray

llUERr.A's Ru1Nous INACTIVITY.

Chicago Rccord-Hcrald: Huerta
has himself to blame for the condi-
tions that now confront him or the
military strength to which he pre-
tends is imaginary. There can be no
doub that the territory that is nomi-
rally subservient to him has IA vastly
greater population than the territory
that is overrun by revolutionists, but
he has made no use OF this superiority
in the field Of battle. The armies
whose engagements have been re-
ported have contained a few thousand
mel each. In some of the engage
ments the federalS have been very de-
eidedly in the minority. Hucrta has
had little more than bodies Of skir-
nishers to represent him. though he
talks of his troops as il there were
scores of thousands at his beck and
call.
A military genius with such resource
es as Huerta boasts would have swept

long ago and sent them s%curryins
across the border. A thoroughly
trained soldier who had confidence in
his support would have inaugurnted
An aggressive campaign and complete
ly changed the state of affairs by this
time. Even a mob leader might have
accomplished something. But Huerta
remains in the capital, does nothing
and has nothing done for him.

backing could hardly drift i'll this way

ADJUSTMENTS
lBunty Pulls the Strings.

The signal success Of "Bunty Pulls
the Strings" which comes to the Met
ropolitan on Thursday evening is adj
mitted by all. And the potency of it's
drawing powers is generally regarded
by theatrical people as practically
without a parallel. There is always
conspicuous merit in an attraction
that makes such a record and it is an.
parent from the numerous inquiries
that the engagement here will mark q
new record for large attendance.
"Bunty'' is the n big thing" on the
theatrical horizon at the present time.
Haymarket theatcr, London, has
been playing ''Bunty' for the past two
Years to capacity business. and it is
expected that the comedy will run
another year. New York and Chicago
nave had their "Bunty" companies
playing indefinite engagements. The
with a Scotch theme, and interpreted
by an all-scotch company of players.
1t is a quaint domestic story of SIM
PIE church going people, but it car
ries such an intensely gripping heart
interest, and such unexpected comedy.
an environment SO refreshing and
novel to the American stage, that
when seen one understands why it is
so successful. The same production
that was seen in New York and many
Of the same players will be i'll the cast
here. Miss Daweey McNaughton, who
plays the title role of "Bunty' was
selected by Graham Moffat, the u
thor. and sent to America for the New
York and Chicago engagements. All
the other members of this company
are reputable Scottish artists care
fully selected for their respective
parts.
It is safe to predict that "Bunty
Pulls the Strings" will be one OF the
distinctly interesting events of this
theatrical season.

kind is sometimes desirable.
But, under those circumstances it
would not be tho plan of government
which is in need of change, but the

in form would be merely II means to
that end. In our own casc ii is not
alleged that there is or has been cor

affairs of the city have not been and

THE QUESTION IN A NUTSHELL,

Will the city OF Grand FORTS be
likely to select I've men who will adj
minister its affairs better under the
commission plan than its affairs are
administered and are likely to be adj
ministered by the II aldermen and
the mayor who are chosen by them
under the present plan. That is. in a
nutshell, the question which the peo-
pic will be called on to decide at the
forthcoming election.
The question is not as to the theo-
retical superiority of different sys-
TENS. The question is not what has
been done in some city il another
state under a commission plan which
differs from the plan which is pro-
vided in the North Dakota. law. The
question is not what has been done in
one city under conditions entirely
different from our own. We must de-
eide what is likely to be the result in
this present city of Grand Forks I'm
der tho conditions which exist today,
and with the exact Law that is on our
statute books.
A form of government is good or
had Tor that community as it meets or
does not meet the real needs of that
community. Sometimes a change in
the form Of government is wise even
though one system is no better in IT.
self than the other. If, in a. city gov
eminent, there are waste, and extrav-
agance, and incompetency and cor
s-uption, and the men in charge Of the
government have made every depart
ment OF 1t a part Of their machine for
the perpetuation of themselves in Of
flee, Q change in the form Of govern
ment may be a good thing just for
tho opportunity it gives Of prying the
