and going back to the old council sys-
tenn. It will have to be admitted that
there are flaws in the present form Of
government as well as there were in
the old. In the first place, in order
to place the city on cash basis, it
became necessary to raise the assessed
valuation of the property to an abnor-
NAL figure, thus increasing the state
and other taxes, making the taxes
away out of proportion. Those who ad-
vocate going back to the old form Of
government, point out that two alder
men from each ward can look after
the needs better than five commission
ers selected promiscuously from about
the city. It is fact worth noting that
during the time that this city has been
under the commission form Of gov
eminent, there has been but one COM
missioner during all those six years
who has completed his term of office,
and that one was Peter Vandenoever,
who was elected for a two year term.

Some of the newspapers of the
state have accepted advertising of late
from travelling doctors. This, in the
opinion of the writer, it not treating
the doctor nor his prospective patient
right. In the first place, these doctors
travelling around claiming to cure
every form of disease. are not apt to
be as capable as the home physician,
otherwise they would have established
a good practice long ago. In the Sec
ond place, they are here today and
away tomorrow and cannot possibly
diagnose case properly, or give it
the required attention, should they do
so. They are after the '1ong green"
and don't care how they get it. Treat
your local doctors right, even if their
ethics do not permit them to become
big advertisers. a...~

The Independent extends to its
friends its most cordial Christmas
greetings. To get the most out Of this
happy Christmas time, we should no,
overlook those little acts that near
so much to others. A letter accom-.
panied by some little reminder will be
welcomed by your friends who are fa1
away. Remember the needy who are
ever with US. A little help from those
who can afford to give, will brighten
up many a home that would otherwise
be dreary. And remember, it would
not be out of place to let the Christ
mas spirit prevail thruout the entire
year. What fine old world this would
be if everybody would only try to
make others happy. "

Vodka seems to be on the run. The
German government, realizing that
most of the deserters from it's army
are due to drink, have now prohibited
it's use in its eastern armies. France
has also put the ban on absinthe and
other Intoxicating liquors and Great
Britain is constantly putting more re-
strictions on the consumption of liq-
uors. These nations, like the rapidly
increasing number of employers in
this country, are after the best re-
suits and experience has shown them
that liquor stands in the way and that
it is the sober, clear-headed and phys
ically able man that fills the bill.

One of the Minot papers in a recent
issue told of many of the poor people
of the city who were suffering for
want of sufficient food and clothing.
A stranger reading this article would
Immediately picture in his mind poor
little urchins and crying women beg
ging for something to allay their hun
ger and garments to clothe their max
ed bodies. Conditions are not as bad
as that. The poor and the unfortu-
mates we always have with us, but dur
ing our twelve years. residence in Mi
not, we have never seen anyone really
suffering for the want of food and
clothing. The people of this city are
among the most charitable in the
land. There are always. number of
county charges in the city but Peter
Vandenoever, commissioner from this
district, in whose charge these poor
people are placed by virtue of the
statutes, has been most careful to see
that all worthy of support are amply
provided for. Colonel Scarlet has
been very kind as we'll. The Saliva
ton Army has done creditable work.
There are unfortunate people who
must be looked after, and the Inde-
pendent happens to know that Mr..
Vandenoever is doing his work in a
conscientious, capable manner. We
don't believe that the writer of the
article realized how it might be mis-
construed.

Never so many books. Pages of
books in magazines, piles in the
stores. No gift so suitable for any
one. Fancy things soon lose their

ever. Unless children are too young,
give them a book. This season brings
some new ones, like Henry Van Dykes
"The Lost Boy" or the story of Jesus
wandering in Jerusalem, told in de.
lightful style. If the girl has not read
Alice in Wonderland, get her that. Oh
course, no childhood is complete with.

Let every man keep his own prem

good deal to make his own town bet
ter place in which to live, and it does
mt need any organization with a long

Neither does it need public meeting
and the passing of a lot of wordy res

such things he never would have dis

WRITE TO YOUR MOTHER
TONIGHT.

Write to your mother tonight.
Sit right down, my boy, and send of
that letter you have been promising
yourself you would write for so many
weeks, perhaps months.
You don't know what it will mean to
the dear woman whose once laughing
eyes have long since been dimmed by
the tears she was not ashamed to shed
because you were so far away. You
don't know how many, many times the
dear old soul has cried herself to
sleep because she hasn't heard from
her boy, cher baby" she will always
call you. If you knew the ache that
was in that great big kindly heart Of
mothers you wouldn't wait another
minute.
OF course, you wouldn't neglect that
mother Of yours for all the wealth in
the world. That is, you don't intend
to neglect her. But you have, you
boys who are away from home. And
it has hurt her.
She will, of course, like all mothers
do, make excuses for her boy. She
will say, II guess my boy hasn't had
time to write today" And she will
smile and wait for her mail carriers
next trip. Then the ache in her heart
will grow worse when she sees him go
by without stopping.
Write to your mother tonight, my
boy. Make it a dandy long letter.
Fill it full of things she wants to hear.
All about yourself, what you have
been doing, when you are coming to
see her, and above all, tell her that
you love her.
You'll be surprised to see how much
better you feel after the letter is we'll
on its way.
