packed.
General Election In Siaht7
The question on every tongue at the
political rendezvous clubs was wheth-
err the momentous events of the day
had brought a general election in
sight. An appeal to the country and
q breakup OF both the coalition gov-
eminent and the Labor party are con-
tingencies Of the near future, and
while the government has secured
what In ordinary circumstances would
be regarded as a satisfactory major
ity, 29S for Its bill, the detection Of
a large section OF the Labor party,
with the loss Of four members of the
cabinet admittedly places the govern
ment In a critical position and many
doubts are expressed that 1t will sue

THREATEN TO BLOW UP CITY
Attorney Organizes Body of Citizens

Had Just Looted a Building
Strike for Higher Wages.

Youngstown, o., Jan. 10.-Three men
were killed, 10 persons wounded, and
six city blocks were burned with a
loss estimated at $4,000 0 as the re-
suit of rioting in East Youngstown,
following a battle between a crowd Of
strike sy~mpathizers and armed guards
at the plant of the Youngstown Sheet
and Tube Company. Three regiments
of state troops have been ordered here
to take charge of the situation.
Threaten to Blow Up Section.
Shortly before midnight mob leaders
broke into a freight car containing
500 pounds OF dynamite. They took
the dynamite and started toward the
residential part of East Youngstown,
declaring they would blow that Sec
ton of the city to pieces.
The trouble was the elimination Of
a strike OF iaborers which began at
the plant Of the Republic Iron & Steel
company a week ago and spread to the
plants of the Tube company, the
Youngstown Iron & Steel company,
and the Brier Hill Steel company, all
independent" concerns. The men de-
mand 25 cents an hour; the companies
offered an increase from 70 TO 1917
cents to % cents per hour.
Citizens Fire at Mob.
With the rioting at its height, Os-
a Diser, city solicitor Of East
Youngstown, organized a body of citi-
zens and armed with revolvers march
ed to the point where the rioters had
just looted q building.
The citizens fired a volley over the
heads of the rioters who returned the
fire. Diser ordered his men to fire
again, this time pointing their weap-
ons point blank at the mob. About half
a dozen men fell. Armed with night
sticks the solicitor and his men waded
into the rioters using their clubs free
ly and scattering them into groups.
Rioting started early In the
morning when strike s~ympathizers and
workers at the Steet and Tube plant
clashed. Stones were thrown and sew
eral shots were fired, but no one was
injured.

A WAR ANIMAL.

The mule has proved far more re.
liable and useful transport animal
than the camel in the ,Mesopotamia
campaign. If beasts were decorated
the mule would be covered with rib.
bons. He knows not defeat. His
hardness is proverbal; none of the
plaques of Mesopotamia have affect.
ed his sangfroid.
The camel so far has been but an
auxiliary. The breed used here, called
"Judi,' is not, like his "Bedawi"
brother, trained to go without water,
but he is proof against the ubiquitous
camel-hy, and. has certain other vir.
tues of his own. In spite of his wob-
bly, extremites and grotesquely pro-
pOrtiOned limbs, the camel is a dainty
beast. His mincing gait and super
cilious glances are generally attribut.
ed to pose; as d matter of fact, they
are the expression of an inward and
unsupported delicacy. Too often the
cameTs uncouth bulk gives a false i'm.
preston Of hardness. He is not
hardy.
He is brittle, and will break his leg
kicking against a stone, and he will
split up and die if his legs slip apart
in the mud. In this country snow
kills him. He is as sensitive to damp
as city clerk, and will catch a cold
if asked to sleep in swamp. But
we'll cared for, sufficiently equipped.
and tactfully treated, he is second
only to the mule as beast of burden.

| When the jitney came into vogue
times were bad. Thousands of auto
mobile owners were glad of a chance
to make the cars earn their keep
The public took to them because of
their novel appeal. The owners made
money for awhile, or imagined they
did. AS matter of fact, most of
thu: owners, in their first enthusiasm,
neglected to reckon anything for de.
probation. When the cars began to
wear out under hard usage, it dawned
on tn EN- that nhe excess Of receipts
over Operating expenses would not
suffice TO provide a new car. So lit
tie by H. tie the jitneys dropped out.
In some cities, they have proved to
be valuable auxi1iaries to trolley SER
vice. Therr will always be such use
for them in many communities. But
when it co mes to real competition
with the trolley car, the jitney seems
doomed to lose out in crowded sec
tons; and there its usefulness is linn
tied by the fact that as the vehicles
grow numerous they become a nuis-
ance and a danger to the public.
Oakland, Cal, has barred them from
its business zone for that reason.
If banishe'i to the outskirts, the
jitney can't make a living, because
Of the c ost of long hauls. And be-
cause it is incapable of carrying citi-
zens to the suburbs for the price OF
a trolley fare, the jitney bus is not
so valuable a factor as the electric
line in promoting the healthy growth
Of city.

WORKING IN VACATIONS,

In some places where child labor
legislation is under discussion, at
tempts are being made to secure ex.
emptions for children of the poor SO
that they may work during the long
school vacations. This sounds reason.
able until 1t is analysed. A few hours
work in an otherwise idle day-work
such as wheeling a baby, working in
a garden, running errands, moving
lawns-is not likely to hurt a growing
boy or girl. And that is the kind of
thing people in the average small
city or town think of as vacation
work.
But that is not what the agitators
for vacation work are after. They
want children to work in factories or
canneries, shutting them up during
the hot weather. letting them out too
tired to play, often too tired to sleep.
The theory underlying the closing
OF schools for the summer is that the
children need the rest during the
heated period Of the year. The vaca-
ton is given that they may be free
to pick up needed strength and 70
business in the outdoor air. If in.
stead of getting this, the children are
10 be shut up in places far less whole
some and comfortable than school
rooms, the schools had far better stav
open.
Many cities, in fact. are establish.
ing vacation schools for the purpose
OF keeping children in crowded dis.
tricts off the streets. In neighbor.
moods where homes are less desjra.
BILE than school houses and their
grounds, this is wise. In hammer
communities, where back wards
abound and there are whole skvfuls
OF fresh air, the need is different
Two or three hours of household mr.
outdoor chores never hurt growing
boy or girl in comfortable home
and the educational value of them il
very great. But this issue is not TO
be confounded with exemptions for
shut-in slavery.

MILK INSPECTION.

There is much room for improve
ment in the sale and distribution of
milk in Bismarck. Some of the dali
ries are striving to give service and
keep up the quality Of their product,
but housewives the city over can tes'
tify as to the unsanitary conditions
under which some of the milk is de.
livered.
Ii is not unusual for patrons upon
emptying bottle of milk to find a
ticket in the bottle left here by some
other patron. This merely indicates.
thai the containers are not thorough
ls cleaaseG Ii is also notorious fact
that much OF the cream delivered
from dairy that is rated high by our
Lilk Inspector has just enough butter.
fa- 10 get under the wire and that
its sweetness is evanescent. lasting
az q rule about six or seven hours,
and sometimes less.
There is another arbitrary rule in
force that should receive immediate
attention from the city commission.
IL is impossible to purchase pint OF
milk from one OF the leading diaries.
The patrons must purchase a half
pint OF cream in order to get pint of
milk.
IL is time that the milk industry in
Bismarck was placed under stricter
supervision. The health of the chill
dren depends upon a pure supply of
milk and honest and efficient inspec-
tion-not the superficial substitute
the city now has.
That dairy which refuses to sell
milk in pints and multiples thereof
should have its permit withdrawn.
There is no reason why the poor
man should not be able to buy pint
Of milk without purchasing a pint Of
cream or initiating his order to a
quart of milk.
Bismarck should insist upon rea-
sonable service such az obtains in
other cities.
1t is matter of comment that the
milk and cream as a rule-there are
exceptlons-is of an inferior grade.
If the inspection maintained here by
the University of North Dakota is in.
efficient, the matter should be taken
UP with Prof. Ladd of the State Agri.
cultural college and a rigid inspec.
tion of the milk conducted.
The citizens of Bismarck pay
enough to get milk of the highest
test.
Efficient milk inspection will give
ii to them.
Why not Pasteurization?
