SPEED EVIL

The records show that in the city Of
New York 221 persons were killed by
automobiles in 1912, and that in 1913
the number was increased to 800.
Eighty-one more deaths during the
Year just ended than in the preceding
year, or an increase of nearly 81
per cent, would seem to point to an
astounding condition of affairs.
Perhaps, however, the figures do not
indicate precisely what their face sig
nitlcance IS. In all probability the
number of automobiles in use in New
York was greatly increased in a years
time, n of course there is the uues-
ton of increased population. which is
by no means inconsiderable.
Yet to a certain extent, the figures
quoted must indicate an increased in
difference to human life among New
Workers. Clearly they mean that the
authorities Of that city have not yet
devised methods for checking the speed
evil. and that greater, related evil, the
contempt Of those who ride for those
who must go afoot.
In many respects New York is the
most civilized Of American cities.
Those who have witnessed the sale of
sterilize. milk under perfectly sani-
tary conditions to the poor in Battery
park, or who recall the ease with
which pure water can be obtained
throughout the city by the simple
means Of dropping a penny in the slot,
will concede that humanitarianism in
its profoundest form is much alive in
the. city which is additionally regard
ed as heartless.
1t Is the more to be regretted, there
fore. that the city which leads in
many ways is found to be helpless, as
yet, in the matter Of coping with a.
menac which is based upon the most
rep~rehensible qualities in human ma
ture..

Beede Answers the
Norton Statement

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. Ito The
Forum: Congressman Norton's letter
in The Fargo Forum, Jan. 10, is well
come. 1t shows his position. His
previous telegram left matters in
doubt. For his wrong position in this
matter, n not for any. politics, I
must oppose his reelection to on
greSS.
1t is against the interests of the
people and against true humanity to
pe~rpetuate a system of Indian gov
eminent which must soon cause a
race Of detectives in North Dakota.
similar to those now On the White
Earth reservation in Minnesota. It
will cost millions of money. 1t is
against true humanitarianism. With
immediate honesty and energy such a
Ditiable condition can be avoided in
North Dakota.
Mr.. Norton and the Indian bureau
admit that whereas a few years ago
more than 10000 head of cattle were
owned by the Indians on this reser-
walton, they now possess only about
$500" This statement is welcome. 1t
is true. L have hesitated to make this
and similar startling statements, only
because the official reports" official
aftidavits," ETC.. are not in my posses
sion.
The fall roundup, 1910, showed
over 5000 calves. There were 10000
in 1910. Now there are only 4,500.
This loss alone is enough to condemn
the governmental system. They tried
to purge the Indian bureau by laying
the guilt to Mr.. Roberts, Gin charge
of the cattle" He is dismissed. And
I approve: not because he is guilty
but because any man in his place, tied
up as he was, lacks opportunity, and
so might as we'll be dismissed.
Will the Indian bureau give free &C.
cess to all copies of papers and tele-
grams, or not? Will it furnish copies
of these to citizens desiring them?
Is the Indian bureau. with it's over
lords a CLOSED corporation" or is it
a public function with it's acts and
records fully open to the public? Is
it primarily community self-govern-
ment, or is it "a bureaucracy"
Since "a few years ago seven
eighths of the cattle have disappeared.
T~hirty-five Thousand cattle have dis
appeared. Normally they should
have increased, instead of decreasing.
Did they die on the prairie? If so,
find their skeletons and show them.

EDITORIAL COMMENT
Unnecessary Gold Lace.

Philadelphia Bulletin: If the chief
or q principal obstacle in the way Of
better reorganization Of the national
guard forces in the various states for
coordination with the federal army
is the desire of d few major general
and Brigadier generals and their staffs
to retain their gold lace and like
emoluments. there ought to be an ear
ly end to the dispute and the full pur-
pose Of the law passed five years ago
should be speedily accomplished.
The stand taken by Secretary Of
War Garrison is definite, and proper,
even if it were within his discretion to
disregard the terms of the law gov
erning the allotment of federal funds
for the aid OF state military training.
1t is essential to the federal purpose
that these state troops shall be so
organized as to be readily amalga-
mated with the federal army in time
of emergency, and to this end there
must be uniformity and coordination

SMOKE AND A TRAGEDY.
why senator Bate Never Lighted

Cigar After Battle of shiloh.
Washing; Post: 1.-THE late Sen. Will

a cigar which he simply chewed
to pieces without lighting, although
.passionately fond of a smoke" said H,

this grew out of a tragedy on the bat
tleffeld of Shiloh. During the progress
of that bloody fight General Bate, who
was devoid of fear, lit a cigar, but had
taken scarcely a puff when q ball from
the Yankee side knocked the weed from
his mouth and, passing on, struck his
brother, who was not three feet away,
in the breast, killing him instantly.

EFFECT OF GINNING ON LINT.
Speed of Machinery Does not Effect
Cotton, Says Expert.

Washington, January 25.-Under
the provision of the appropriation Sc
cured by Senator Smith, of South
Carolina, during the last session OF
congress-, requiring the department
of agriculture to investigate the gin
ming, baling, grading, etc., of cotton,
one of the findings of the depart
ment is that the speed of the gin
does not effect the lint so long as the
cotton is dry and the gin in good me-
chanical condition. The head Of this
department informed Senator Smith
yesterday that the test had been
made at different ginneries in the
South, running the gins from the low
est number of revolutions to the
highest, and that as long as the cot
ton is in good condition and the gin
properly adjusted, the highest posi-
BILE rate of speed did not injure the
lint one particle. This he considered
of vast Importance to the cotton in
dustry throughout the South, because
the number of bales that a ginning
plant may put out, in large meas
ure, determines the price of ginning,
and this is an item Of Importance,
both to the farmer and the owner OF
the gin.
