LOTS OF INFORMATION
IN PUBLICITY PAMPHLET

We have before us a copy Of
the North Dakota State Pub
licity pamphlet and from it's
contents We gleanl information
that is refreshing to the mind of
he who contends that the days
Of statesmen are past and gone.
We read Of tasks promised and
performed by the versatile gentle.
men therein portrayed, for the
benefit of the suffering public
and we glory in the thought that
North Dakota has produced men
50 strong Of character and go
broad Of mind. We read again
and some of the things fail to
hit the respondent chord that
they did at first, for back in
the farthermost recess Of our
mental factory it seems that we.
have heard some Of these points

brought up before, and as we
remember it, the men who wishe
to advise the thinking public tha+
certain arguments put forth by
their opponents were of no conse>
quence, are now using those
same arguments to- further their
own cause.
We read for example the eu-
logy on our senior senator and
Note therein that it would take
years for a new man to acquire
the standing that he now holds
in the senate. If we remember
correctly when Senator Hans
boro brought out this argument
it was not given so very much
consideration; and when it did
not hold good with a record
such as he had, we fall to see
where our present senior senator
should profit much by it. Hans
boro's record I'M the senate was
one Of service and achievements.
We have failed to- find anything
that is so wonderfully laudable.
in McCumber's seventeen years
Of representation. True there
have been resolutions passed and
garden seeds shipped at various
and divers times for which the
constituency Of North Dakota
should be duly thankful, but
when it comes to actual achieve
ments which should make it diff
ficult for a new man to enter
the senate and accomplish as
much, by reason Of Mr.. Nc
Chmber s position through these
achievements, we fail to see the
proof to substantiate the state
menE.
We look over the records Of
some of the other candidates for
the, United States Senate and
it appears to us that there may
b othrs who could fill the shoes
Of our senior senator and do so

the state which they represent

THE NATIONS DEAD.
Beside the army Of her dead

Once more the nation stands,
With banners waving at her
back
And blossoms in her hands.
With equal love and grief and
Etde.
Impartially, today
She drops her roses and her
tears
Upon the blue and gray.
Forgotten are the years Of strife,
The cause they lost or won,
Each sleeper in the silent tents
Is her beloved son.
The uniforms are ashes now,
The swords and guns are rust,
But memory's eternal green
Is rooted in their dust.

Weekly.

AMERICA ENRST

MULLER E. CALLAWAY, a Georgia
mill operator, appearing before
the House Ways and Means Com
mittee in favor of protective tariff
on dyestuffs, declared: 'I am about
200 per cent. Democrat and 40 per
cent. Republican, but politics ought
not TO enter into the building up of
the dye-making industry here" Evil
dently Mr.. Callaway's 40 per cent
Republicanism was pleading the
cause. This statement, oft repeated
before the committee during the
present hearing, that politics ought
not to enter into building up the dye
making industry" is about the most
arrant nonsense of which the Demo-
Gratis have yet been guilty.
In the first place, why single out
the dye-making industry? Some
Democrats reply that it is an infant
industry, and should be encouraged.
That is weak answer for a party to
make which has been categorically
against a protective policy of any
kind. In the second place, on what
great policy are the two great parties
at issue? Assuredly it is the tariff.
The Republicans have always stood
for protection to American Industries,
the Democrats have stood for free
trade, or a tariff for revenue only.
which is free trade with a handicap.
In demanding of the present Congress
a protective duty on dyestuffs, manu-
facturers are asking a Democratic
body to apply a Republican principle
to their particular industry. There is
no Disgusting the fact. The Demo-
cratic party cannot, consistent with
it's classical policy, yield to this de-
mand. which is not saying much be-
cause that party has become hope
lessly inconsistent. Dyemakers are
entitled to protection. So are cotton
manufacturers, steel manufacturers.
wool manufacturers, miners and agri-
culturalists.
All 900 per cent. Democrats" who
want protection on their particular in
dustries are advised to get into the
melting pot and boil down to 100 per
cent. Republican, vote for that party's
candidate and legislators. and make
the protective policy of national ap-

4 CITY MANAGER

Tow long the commission form of
II government will last in the
American municipalities will de-
pend almost solely upon the character
OF administration. In too many cases
the commission form has resulted in
breaking down of public interest in
municipal affairs and the reaction is
almost invariably against a. con-
tinuance of the commission scheme.
Already certain weaknesses have
been developed in the commission
plan wherever 1t has been tried and
there is movement to establish the
commission-manager plan. This means
the people elect a commission. acting
as q. board of directors. who hire the
city manager and he in turn empIovs
anG directs the employees. 1t is be-
heVed that this plan will become
popular, large number of cities hav-
ing already adopted the new scheme.
If we are to have centralized govern
ment, as under the commission plan
it may as well extend to the limit in
the employment of one man instead Il
of five. If the responsibility, according
to the theory of the commission
advocates, should be concentrated in
a small body it might be further con-
centrated in a single individual. Then
the people would know just who TO
look to for results.
There are now forty cities with the
ommission-manager plan in opera-
tion and the experiment is spreading
rapidly. Under this plan the COM
missioners are assigned each to the
headship of a city department. They
assume no individual administrative
work, they do not give all their time
TO the city, but only spare time; they
receive only nominal salaries or none
and continue uninterrupted their
private careers. They are empowered
to hire from anywhere in the nation
city manager at good salary which
they can determine. The city man
ager holds office at their pleasure. is
their sole executive agent in all things
and runs the municipal administration
under their continuous supervision
and direction. AS n rule nonresident
is selected for manager so that he
may be free from local, political and
neighborhood entanglements.
1t is held as one of the strong
features of the commission n-manager
: plan that there is moro efficiency in

Cost of Newspapers
IFrOm Newspaperdom. I

Two cents is the right price for the
modern newspaper; we cannot go on
adding sheets forever and maintaining
one cent retail. The price was set
originally for four-page newspapers,
but the value of what is given the pub
lie has grown beyond all reason out of
proportion with the price. .
Added circulation means increased
loss, especially with the war prices the
newspaper publisher has to pay on all
sides.
He spends twenty per cent. more
for news than he did a decade ago;
the cost of labor has been jumped
twice in that period, and Is up about
fifteen per cent; paper has gained
more than that, and may jump another
fifteen per cent. before the year is
ended; type metal is one hundred per
pictures are demanded and they cost
chimes are required every few years.
All along the line it is more, more,
more. 1t is the fear of one
cent competition that deters the pub
Usher from raising the price; but 1t is
so apparent that cooperation of the
interests as discussed will shut out
such suicidal competition that the
publisher should be willing to tackle
the proposition in a business-like
way, and put it through.
The public is paying thirty to fifty
per cent. more for it's clothing, and
stands it without a murmur. Nobody
is rushing into the clothing business
on that account. And newspapers can
be put up to ten cents q week, the
right price, with very little difficulty.

candidate for the spotlight. because he
Is both unusual and typical. He is
a native builder of the South-a
Southerner born and raised who has
demonstrated that the South pro-
duces industrial brains of the highest
order. When he came to Chatta-
nooga with his parents and several
brothers, he was five years old and
barefooted. His father began the
family work by accommodating some
thing of fortune and a large amount
of Chattanooga real estate.
Charles began his career as q build
er in life, helping to erect Chatta-
nooga's first theatre when still a boy.
AS soon as he came into his share of
the family fortune. he disposed of the
vacant real estate, gathered together
all the capital he could. and proceeded
TO furnish the city with sundry equip
ments and improvements which he
thought it needed. He built a gas
works and a street car system and
took over a little coal mine, quad
rupled its output and made Chatta-
nooEa an important center for the
production of coke.
Meantime, the great power posi-
bilities of the mountain streams were
beginning to be realized, and a con-
gressional investigation was held to
determine whether the city of Chatta-
nooga should be allowed to develop
n power plant on the Tennessee river.
The committee decided that the pro-
ject was a good one; but before
granting the permit, Congress re-
quired assurance that the plant would
be built. The city could not give a
guarantee. Mr.. James then took the
stand, and gave his personal assur-
ance that if the city refused to carry
out the work, he would see that is
was done by private capital.
The Chattanooga city fathers de-
cided that they could not afford to
build power plant, and it was up to
James, who took into his counsel J. G.
Guild, n well-known civil engineer.
Between them they had not enough
capital to swing the deal; but they got
assistance from New York, and the
plant was built. Neither of its pro-
moters made much money out of the
work; but they made good the assur-
ance given by James, and gave Chatta-
nooga a tremendous industrial asset
The plant is that at Hale's bar and
has total of $4,000 horse power. 1t
has the capacity to furnish all the
power for four times as many fac
tories as there are in Chattanooga.
Chattanooga also has a smaller
plant. generating about $500 horse
power on the Okokee river, a much
smaller stream. Since the develop
ment of these two projects many of
Chattanooga's factories have substi-
tuted electrical for steam power, and
a number of new ones have been
built, while many small towns in Ten
nessee and Alabama obtain both light
and factory power from the same
plnts.
