Such questions are as improper to be
asked by the senate as by anybody,
and without reference to the excel.
lence Of the motives with which the
questions are asked. When such
questions are asked they should not
be answered. The question should BIZ
withdrawn and the gentlemen should
be relieved OF the necessity Of re-

There can be no question Of the
senate's dignity in refusing to press
questions improper to be asked, es-
pecially after a first installment had
been answered, although wandering

ST PAUL YARDS TO
Have SHOW AGAIN
Big Feature of Last Years
Fair Will be Repeated
This Season.

The st. Paul Union Stockyards
company's big educational live stock
exhibit will be put on at the Grand
Forks fair, July rs to 81. This ex-
hibit is composed of the following ami
mails: Two good quality fat beef type
steers: 2 thin scrubby steers; 3 good
quality lard type hogs; 3 good quality
bacon type hogs; 3 poor quality hogs;
3 trimmed lambs: 3 untrimmed lambs;
3 good quality fat sheep; 8 poor quail
ty thin sheep.
All the animals were Drought on
the regular open market at South st,
poster showing all information about
each animal, age, weight, selling price
and total value.
The exhibit is planned so that good
type stock Of each kind will be ar
ranged beside poor type stock of sim
liar kind.
When looking at the actual animals
and comparing them, one with anoth-
er. and the ages, weights and prices
of each. visitors annot help being i'm
pressed with the fact that a little ex-
ira care in the breeding and feeding
OF livestock for market is amply paid
for, when oashing the animals. and
lack OF such care means a distinct
loss.
This exhibit was shown at both the
Grand Forks and Minnesota fairs in
1913.
The written comments received
from people who saw the exhibit last
year were many and enthusiastic as
to the educational value of the ex-
hibit. and prompted the st. Paul Union
Stockyards company in putting on a
similar exhibit this year.

A GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT

William Waldorf Aston, a former
American. but for some years a Brit
ish subject. wanted to be a duke, and
because he could not. he Is disap-
pointed. and life has few charms for
him. He intends TO sell his newspa-
per properties and withdraw himself
from much of the English life with
cent years. Could anything be more
depressing than the spectacle of a
man with such opportunities plung-
ed into such a condition OF despair
by such a Disappointment?
AS to the reasons why Mr.. Astor
chose to leave the United States and
become a resident Of England, and a
citizen Of that country. these might
we'll have remained his own business
had he chosen IT that way. But he
did not so choose. He left the Unit
ed States in a fit of pique, and on
his departure he delivered himself OF
some very untimely and u%ntasteful
comments on his native land. In
leaving his country to take his posi-
ton as q gentleman among gentle
men, he acted the part Of a boor, and
showed bad manners end bad breed
ing. His outburst OF temper won for
him expressions of scorn from all over
the country, and he left home in bad
repute. Since his residence in Eng
land began he has been a tuft hunt
err Of the most pronounced type. He
has toadied to position and title in a
tanner which may not be thought
strange for an uneducated man who
has been suddenly endowed with
great wealth, but which is particu-
larly exasperating when the perform
er is a man of American birth who
belongs to a great and we'll known
family, who has always had every
possible advantage that position and
wealth can give.
On the whole. we are rather glad
that Mr.. Astor's quest for a duke
dom has failed. It makes little Diff
ference here, but a mar Of his type
merits disappointment when the am
bition of hts life takes such a pitifut
turn.

TRAINS
FOR BRANCHES
Hearing Will be Held July
80 at Devils Lake by
Commission.

A hearing will be held at Devils
Lake July 80 by the state railway
commission on the. application of the
Great Northern railway to substitute
mixed trains for the passenger service
on a number of the branches in the
northern part of the state. The lines
affected by the application are the
Lakota-sarles. Rugby-Antler, Minot-
Sherwood and the Berthold-C Crosby
branches.
1t is claimed by the railroad that
the venue derived. from the passen-
ger service on these branches is not
sufficient to pay the expenses Of oper-
ating exclusively passenger trains.
Notice of the proposed hearing has
been received In this city from the
commission and the city is invited to
send a representative to the hearing
If it is SO desired.

AN ODD SUPERSTITION,

The old saying that II n rains on
st. Swithtn's day II will rain every
day for six weeks, and that II 1t is
ta1r on that day 1t will be fair for six
weeks comes to attention occasional
~. I'M one is made to wonder how
such a belief could ever have become
fastened on the people Of any coun-
try. England. where the sayins
came into vogue, is a fairly rainv
country for six weeks steady. vet
there must have been many rainy ST.
6w1thin's days. Yet hts foolist lin
Gle ttckled somebody's ear, and it has
oeen handed down, generation after
generation, and there are people win
believe II. It is 60 with a score Of
other little superstitions. Someone
frames a little rine that takes the
FANCY, and the thing gets a start. and
away 1t goes, and nobody is particu-
larry interested in heading it off.
one OF these superstitions is with
reference to the position Of the
moon. and its influence on the
weather. Thousands of people he
leVe that when the moon hangs low
In The south the weather will be cold
-or is 1t warm? The superstition ia
disproved every month, but that does
not affect the hold which the belief
has on many minds. AS to the
changes Of the moon. superstitions
are too numerous to be listed. The
changing Of the moon from n quar-
Ter to another at a certain hour is be-
lieved to presage one sort Of wealth
81. while the change at some other
hour something entirely diff
ferent. OF course the Changing Of
the moon from quarter to quarter
means no more than the change
from quarter to eighth or from third
70 third, as the area Of the moon ex-
posed to sunlight is changing all the
time. But with this as with all other
superstitions. they are hard to eradi-
cats. and many Of them are harm
less.

MExICo's NEW SITUATION.

General Huerta has resigned the Of
flee which he seized by force, and has
left the City Of Mexico on his way to
Europe. Reports have been publish
ed from time to time to the effect
that he was sending to European
banks considerable sums Of money,
in order that his financial future
might be taken care of. There need
be no fear that he leaves Mexico a
poor man. His successor, Carbatal.
o exercises all the authority that
Huerta had, and his authority Is bas.
ed on the same facts. Under the cir
cun1stances there will be no recogni-
ton Of him at Washington, n more
than there was Of his predecessor.
This is logical. If Huerta was an H.
legal governor, he cannot confer le-
gality IN his successor.
There is a chance. however, that
Carba1al may, for a. time, act as pro-
visional president Of Mexico with the
recognition Of this nation and others
OF his position and authority. This
state of things will come about If the
constitutionalist leaders accept him as
a satisfactory person to head a provis-
ional government until a permanent
government a be established in the
regular way. Under those conditions
Carbajal should be as satisfactory to
outsiders as any other person. The
essential thing Is that there shall be
substantial agreement among thu
Mexican factions as to the manage
ment of a temporary government. IF
that is brought about, foreign ma
tons will, Of course. accept the con-
ditions. and await later results.
English papers point to the retire
ment of Huerta. as a triumph for
President Wilson, but expresses tho
opinion that all the troubles are not
over yet. The latter statement is so
obvious that 1t need scarcely be made.
Mexico has been torn with factional
strife for years. It's affairs have bee,,
managed by a grinding despotisn
under which the spirit Of anarchy has
grown and flourished. All the EVIL
effects OF such conditions cannot be
removed in a day. Under the best
possible conditions there must be a
long period Of reconstruction which,
will tax the abilities OF the best men
Of the country.

FRIDAY, JULY II. 1914
FTGUREs AND c

------
The Herald holds no brief for or
against the municipal ownership and
operation of public utilities in gen
Aral. II has repeatedly urged, how
ever, that when people are consider
ing the advisability Of public owner
ship they be careful to ascertain the
real facts, and do not permit hem-
selves to be misled by the glittering
figures in municipal account books,
which very often mean nothing at
all. An illustration of the import
ance Of this Is given in the following
with reference to certain phases Of
municipal ownership in Edmonton:
1.-The advocates of municipal own-
ership who have beef in the habit Of
pointing to Edmonton, Canada, as an
example Of the success of the cult.
nave received a shock OF surprise at
the recent disclosures Of the results
Of the past year in conducting Its
own public utilities. BY an amusing
system of bookkeeping which ac-
counted for nothing but receipts and
expenditures it had been shown that
Edmonton had operated Its water,
light. street car and telephone eerv-
ices at a profit. The outside world
knew nothing Of the detail Of the ac-
counting and accepted the results at
came current that Edmonton had
proved the success Of municipal OPP
GRAFTON OF public utilities.
1T is an unpleasant surprise to
the p~rotagonists Of municipal own
ershtp, then. to learn that for the
past year every N of the utilities Of
Edmonton has shown a. deficit in its
operation. A. little knowledge Of
practical accounting has been
brought to bear and 1t was acertain-
ed that heretofore no consideration
whatever has been given to such
matters as interest. deterioration, up
keep, extensions and renewals. Still
more significant was the discovery
that in every case the entire equip
ment will have been worn out before
vi Liz olld Will "ItlCIl
the original purchase was made.
Correcting the accounting system.
therefore, has changed small sur
plus into heavy deficit. Telephone
operation, instead Of showing a profit
OF 100000, comes out with a. deficit
OF $2o1,o0o, while street car service,
which had been figured about even,
fs shown to have run behind to the
extent Of owe s400, 900. In total, IT
has cost Edmonton nearly a million
dollars for the past years operation
Of Its own utilities. The result is that
the service price must be elevated in
each case and a loud and healthy
howl is going up from the citizens
n taxpayer. What will it be when
1t comes to renewing equipment. for
which no provision has been made?"
