Look out, boys, Wall street is in

Paris has barred the tango. 1t also
is trying to bar the goose step.
A Virginia, Minn., couple got mar
fried in a morgue. 1t usually takes
bridal couple two months to feel that
way.
New York has voted for the 30
hour day; at least the legislature
voted to increase the working hours
of women.
Truth may be stranger than fiction
but if this war keeps on the CORE

That Cleveland man who discov-
cred that drums have souls is right;
the one we gave our small boy last
Christmas is a lost soul.
John D. BOOKSELLERS auto hit a
Tarrytown, boy. Lucky boy. If we
ever get hit by an auto it will belong
to a bankrupt who bought it on the

Henry Parish of the New York Life
Insurance company retired and some
one strove to make sensation out
of the fact thathe hated telephones

that Mr.. Parish hated delays.

STANpPATTERs ALERT.-

STANDPATTERS ALERT.-There
is always danger to the people polit
ically during hard times. The forces
of Special Privilege work while the
people sleep and are always on the
alert to seize every opportunity that
presents itself Already we hear the
old slogan of "a Full Dinner PAIL"
and it is started by the very men who
helped empty it. They know that
the time to appeal to workingman's
stomach is when it is empty; for too
often the head is empty when the
stomach is.
Aldrich, who for years ruled the
u. S. senate for the benefit Of Special
Privilege, ducked when the people be-
gan to get their hands on their own
government. But now that gigan-
tic war in Europe has upset business
all over the world, Aldrich sees a
chance to fool the people again with
his yells for a high tariff and full
dinner pail. So he is about to trot
out Elihu Root as the G. O.. P. can
didate for president. And Root is the
man who played Mark Hanna in the
Chicago convention in 1912 and ran
the steam roller over progressive Re-
publicans.
The inference is that followers of
the Bull Moose are now ready to
kneel down and kiss the hand that
smote them. ~
Things look dark for Wilson just
now, but if business keeps on pick

AN EXPLANATION.

Because Minot's census figures were
imprcperly tabulated, an error was
made in the final figures. OF course,
no II was to blame but the local
authorities. Tie attempt of the Op.
tic-Reporter to blame the Bismarck
Tribune for publishing the erroneous
figures is puerile. This paper merely
printed the official statement given
out by the secretary of state, who
in this instance was not to blame for
the error, either. Hundreds of other
state papers published the same fig
1lres. &'&r
The Tribune was quick to correct
the figures, otter Secretary Hollenga,
with a courtesy lacking in the Optic.
Reporter, called our attention to the
facts. When the official figures are
made public, the Tribune will take
sreat pleasure in giving Minot just
due for its magnificent growth.
We extend our congratulations to
Secretary Hollenga for the energetic
way in which lie is arriving at the
true figures. but the Optic-Reporter
mutt look nearer home for the origi.
nal mistake.

SCORES SINKING FUND PLAN.

The serial plan of paying debts is
advocated strongly in an article by
James E. Boyle, professor Of econom-
les and political science in the Quar-
terly Journal of the University of
North Dakota for July. Professor
Eoyle reviews the history of the
debts of four North Dakota cities,
Grand Forks, Fargo, Devils Lake and
Minot.
1.-The evidence here presented
whites Professor Boyde, "sho US the
striking tende1icies, not only in North
Dakota, but in nearly all our Ameri-
can cities, namely the quickness-al-
most recklessness-with which cities
rush into debt and the slowness with
which they pay these debts. One sur.
prising thing is that the city's credit
remains good and THAT plenty Of funds
are constantly Forthcoming at the
rate Of interest commonly as low as
4sper cent?
Professor Boyle. quotes a provision
of the North Dakota constitution
which requires cities, when mourning
debt to provide for payment of the in

WASTEFUL PRACTICE

Til sky at night will soon be lighted

"I.otation Investigations by many oil

vegetable matter is a very important
ingredient in the soil and that straw

Hopkins of Illinois gives the value
of oat straw fer manurial purposes
at $3.50 per ton. Wheat straw is val

tive comparison gives the value of

to the pastures and meadows, it would
