A HOT TIME.

Out in Morton county they are hav'
ing a hot time. States attorney
LANCER is taking his job ser.
iously and several hundred blind,
piggers are being brought into
court before the judge who was form.
erly an attorney for some who prac.
ticed such things, and who may be
presumed to know considerable OF
their methods. So far as is recorded
he has soaked 'em proper" for VIC
lating the law. The sheriff is puzzled
to know where to lodge all the people
who are arrested. The county com
missioners have failed to give the
states attorney an assistant as has
been customary but he is going it
alone" in way calculated to make
history and news. This was Langer's
promise in his candidacy for Office and
he is keeping it.-Courier News.

THE STATE SCHOOLS.

There seems to be a disposition on
the part of the western part of the
state to urge thorough checking of
the state schools and since the mat
ter has been started, many Of the edu-
Gators in charge are disposed to favor
such a move, so that for once at least
the agitators may be in harmony
with those he sought to annoy. The
matter of checking the affairs of the
state institutions is a business pre-
caution to which there could be no
reasonable objection, provided the
committee were men who knew their
business. 1t would hardly be just to
the educational institutions to omit to
place on the committee men who were
to make the final report at least one
eminent educator who lad studied the
education problems and who is famil-
lar with schools and school work and
the necessary cost of maintaining the
same in this state where it must be
admitted the cost of everything that
can be taxed to the cost of an educa-
ton is higher than in the east. This
is an age when men are specializing
and expert information in any line is
available and when we finally make
our decisions as to what changes if
any, shall be made in the state institu-
lions it should be only after We have
had the advise of experts and not in
| answer to clamor coming from Bis
marck, started to stem the tide of pop
! ular demand for the removal of the
| Capital to more accessible section
! of the state. The suggestion has been
/ made that the model and kindergar-
ten departments of the Normal schools
is needless expense and yet few
people would care to employ a teach
er who had no actual training and who
! had acquired their knowledge merely
from books or oral instruction. The
final solution of lowering the per
| capita cost Of educating the children
| in the various state schools will be
| an increased attendance, and not the
elimination of the very things most
necessary in rounding out the final
education of the graduates.

MORE CARE URGED.

Perhaps there Is no sport in the
world that is more alluring or health
full than that of coasting and there
fore it should be encouraged within
reason but in order to avoid danger
there are certain precautions that
ought to be observed. If young PEG.
pie are to coast on the roads then
guards should always be posted to pre-,
vent teams being encountered. Five
years ago a boy lost his life in about
the same manner in which the young
people were injured this week and it
seems very much like a miracle that
none were killed in the recent acct
dent. No good end could be gained at
this late date by criticizing or scoldins
but in the future no cOasting party
should start on downward plunge
until the signal has been given that
all is clear and no teams are in the
way Of the coasting party, or perhaps
it might be much better if coasting in
the main roads were prohibited. If
this were done slide could be easily
arranged that would be even better
and that would not interfere with the
regular traffic.

THE HIGH COST OF SALVATION

In the February Womans Home
Companion, the Rev. Charles Stelzle,
superintendent of the bureau of social
service of the Presbyterian Board of
Home Missions, writes an interesting
article entitled, Making the Church
Do Real Work." 1t is a practical talk
on the business of the church and how
it can best accomplish the work for
which it was organized. Following is
an extract from his article:
1t would shock the average church
member to be told that the conversion
of each new recruit for his church had
cost just $37O.25-if this were true.
And most of the members of the
church in question would become in
dignant if they were criticized on &C.
count of the high cost of salvation
when it was compared with church
in which the cost per conversion had
amounted to only 5000.
It isn't fair to consider the mater
OF conversion from the standpoint of
dollars and cents is the general atti-
tude OF the church worker. And he is
right. II the principles for which the
church stands are true, then it doesn't
mater how lch it costs in money

value to win men and women to the
standards Of the church, whether it be
through conversion confirmation, or
whatever else may be the method Of
accession.
But if it were possible to have each
of the churches under consideration 50
organize their work as to make these
amounts accomplish the same results
for ten persons instead of one, would
it not be right and proper to introduce
the methods which would produce the
best results for the money expended?
There are some perfectly sincere,
warmIhearted people who shudder at
the thought of efficiency or system
in the work of the church, because
they like to do religious work Joyous
ly and spontaneously They abho1

into church life, because they believe
that such work is too sacred to be de-

"The rank and file in the church
should not balk at system in relig-
ious work, when the preachers them

work, down to the minutest detail,

WOULD DECREASE BODY,

Economy is being preached by ev-
cry officer of the state government
and responsive echo is recorded in
the mind of every citizen of North Da-
kota. One of the most useless extrav-
agances of our state organization is
the unnecessary and unwieldy size of
our legislative assembly. If the SEN
ate and house were reduced to one
half the present size, or even less, the
business of laWmaking would be &C.
CELEBRATED greatly, the demand for pa
tronage reduced by fifty per cent and
all other legislative expenses cut to a
reasonable figure. It is most improb-
able that any act to reduce the pres
ent size of the legislative assembly
will come from within the assembly
unless there is strong pressure from
the people Of the state. The people
have in their own hands the instru-
ment to reduce the legislative assem-
bly, through the operation of the initia-
tive adopted at regular election. We
believe it would be most fitting and
right that this new power of the peo-
pie to initiate law be first called into
operation for the purpose of curbing
the waste of public money because Of
the existance of a legislative assembly
abnormally large and unwieldy. -

ance should be we'll pleased if they
were removed from their midst. They
know all of the calamities. They know
and can tell of all the scandals and
particularly the most revolving:
scandals. They can see in every move
that the business men Of the commun-
ity make an attempt to fleece every.
body for themselves. They give no,
one credit for being honest and up
right and see no good in anything nor,
anybody. They criticize everything,
every law and everything of local
origin. They consider every man who
is fortunate enough to secure Office
dishonest, and there can be no good
in holding such position. Land
values are too high, interest rates are
too high, everything is too high that
is on the market. There is a CRATER
to everythin and everybody,
the country is going to ruin, the
town going to the dogs. Public in
situations are mismanaged and are
only source of revenue to those in
control. There is a hidden motive be-
hind everything and everybody has an
axe to grind, if we are to believe the
curbstone orators. AS long as the
world stands We will have this class.
of undesirables to deal with and there:
is no way known 10 dispense with
them.
In this connection the following, Civ
en- by George M. Reynolds of Chicago,
will be of interest:
"The men who have stood on the
street corners for the last twenty-five
years and criticized capital and those,
who control capital, are probably the.
only class of people who have not to
some extent shared in the wonderful
prosperity which has been enjoyed in
the United States durins the last
quarter of a century. These criti-
cisms have had more or less weight
with people who have been easily in
fuenced. They have unwittingly been
made the side-partners of the dema-
gogue and designing politician, who
have tried to prosper through ap-
peals to prejudice. After the fruit.
lessness of legislation of this kind
has been proved, there is always a.
wave of restored reason, and the mis-
guided find that the old-fashioned nat
ural law that make earnest effort
necessary to advancement still holds
good. This is the redeeming fea-
tire" .rr. So .,'.-sj4 80 n..s. 49,

OUR COMMERCIAL CLUB.

1t is a regretable fact that the Val.
ley City Commercial Club is not as &C.

ing in city, the size of Valley City,
or all organizations combined that are
so essential to the welfare and growth
OF the city as the Commercial club.
Opinions differ somewhat as to lust
What is the trouble with the club and
as to what is the proper remedy, but
the concession of opinion is that some.
thing ought to be done to have a. live
commercial organization in Valley
City.
There is a very great deal to be
done the next season and as the
spring is drawing near the club should
be in working order. The indications
are that there will be large foreign
immigration to the United States and
North Dakota should enjoy it's share.
And in order that Barnes county may
receive proper amount of publicity
and thus bring their share of the SET
tiers here it will be necessary that a
united effort be made in the matter of
publicity. It would not be much for
each individual business man in VAL
ley City and the adjoining towns to
contribute to the salary of paid Sec
rotary to promote the county. Such a.
man may be obtained at a reasonable
salary as he could work at something
else and only give part of his time to

OUR BANKS.

It is interesting to note at this time
when there is so much comment or
lack of money and hard times that the
banks of Valley City are showing de.
posits that are heavier perhaps than
in any previous year. In fact one
would hardly believe that there was :,
stringency in the money market were
it not for the rumors on the street
Few towns in the United States have
more staple banks and financial in
situations than has Valley City and
their statements recently published
have been a source of qualification ia

growth and wonderful development
Of Valley City and the surrounding
country.

done and ought to be done at once. It
well be we'll for the business men OF
Valley City to ponder this matter and
it is hoped that at not far distant
date the present secretary of the Com.
mercial Club will call meeting of the
business men of the town with the
hopes that some definite arrangements
will be made for the future. No man
nor set of men should attempt to con-
troll what must be a united effort on
the part of all the citizens. It is worth
thinking over in any event.

MAY NOT BE A JOKE.

Bismarck papers can now see that
New Rockford started the capital agi-
tation as sort of a joke, really mean.
ing to capture the proposed insane
asylum. Bismarck may yet find that
the joke is all on Bismarck. For
many years there has been very gen
eral dissatisfaction with Bismarck as
the capital city, to say nothing of the
graft practiced there in various ways,
and when the removal questions comes
up there Is liable to be good follow
ing. Bismarck and the Tribune have
plenty Of trouble coming without inter.

concern them. They have had the

The reports from Bismarck are to
the effect that there is a general
cutting of expenses, that economies
are being practiced in every branch
of the state legislature. It will be
gratifying to know that the legislature
of North Dakota has at last awaken.
