GENERAL DELIVERY.

The postmaster of Chicago has is
sued an order forbidding the general
and unrestricted use of the general
delivery window. There are two rea.
sons for this. One is that it is the
most expensive way of handling mail
in large Office, and the other that it
encourages young girls to carry on
dangerous flirtations.
It's the most expensive because
every time person asks for Robin
son." for instance, the clerk has to
go over all the letters for people
whose names begin with "R," leng.
thy and time-wasting procedure
where there is much mail It's quick
er and cheaper to deliver mail on a
regular route.
Most of the letters. too, are for
persons who are using the shield of
the general delivery window to carry
on some sort of clandestine CORE
sp0ndence. 1t would be we'll if every
young girl could be made to realize
that the right sort of man prefers to
address her at her home. If she is
of age, the government will protect
her right to open her own mail with
out interference from anyone, and if
She is not of age, she needs all the
more to be saved from the danger of
secret correspondence.
For people who are travelling, with
short stops between trips, the general
delivery is a legitimate convenience.
For people going to new place to
live it is often useful until they have
become definitely located. 1t was in
tended as means whereby tran
sients may get their mail without de.
lay. The sooner it's use by regular
residents for transactions which will
not bear the light is stopped, the bet

START A SAVINGS ACCOUNT.

There is far more money in the
United States than ever before, and
more pouring in right along from the
sale of war supplies. Financiers say
that the present gold surplus in our
banks would afford a basis for near
ly 5000, 900, 900 more credit without
straining our financial system.

comprising $1,000 institutions, is urg

depositing every dollar they don't
need, instead of wasting the profits
of prosperity in extravagant living.
The bankers point out that the money
is needed for big things, to promote
our national development and trade

thrifty people will be rewarded no,
merely by their own financial secur
ity, but by the multiplied prosperity
that their savings will help to make
possible.

WEST SHOULD UNITE.

Residents OF Bismarck and the
Slope are somewhat at a loss to OK
plain the hostile attitude of the Far
60 Courier-News to this section of
the state. The friendly attitude Of
the business men of the Gate City
and its citizens generally to Bismarck
makes the attitude of the Fargo press
doubly hard to fathom.
Why the Courier4News has hoisted
the flag of sectionalism does not ap-
pear. Whether it's position is senti.
mental or commercial is also yelled
in mystery. The fact is very appar.
ent on the Slope, however, that the
newspaper in question has assumed a
hostile attitude toward this section
of the state.
The Tribune is not concerned with
the editorial policy of the Courier
News as regards Bismarck and the
Missouri Slope. That is their bUsi-
ness, but it merely wants to nail
malicious lie that the Courier-News
recently circulated through it's edi.
torial columns.
Blindpigs are not running rampant
inEismarck. No more liquor per cap
tia enters Bismarck than Fargo and
we are willing to wager that the
amount is considerably less, as shown
by the express and freight records G
, the various roads entering Bismarck
and Fargo.
Bismarck today is the cleanest, the
most progressive and the mos! -four
ishing in its history. 1t is the hub
of the splendid Missouri Slope coun-
try, the garden spot of North Dakota.
The growth of the city and its terri
tory refutes the idle chatter, section

ed throughout the state.
The time has come for the Slope
country, stretching on the north to
the Canadian boundaries, on the west
to the Montana line and on the south
to the borders of our sister state, to
rise up in protest against the atti-
tude of certain interests in the east
ern part of the state towardthe Slope
country. The Tribune does not be-
lieve that the movement started in
behalf of a town aligned with the
Red River valley has the endorse
ment Of majority of the voters in
that district, but the time has passed.
to allow the unfair and malicious
criticism aimed at this section of the
state to go .unchallenged.
All sections of the state are inter-
dependent. You cannot seek to de.
stroy property values in one section
without causing depreciation over a
wide area. The Slope country has
done much toward the upbuilding Of
FARO and her industries. What can

GATHERING DATA FOR
A STATE ROAD MAP

State Engineer Bliss is securing in
formation from the various county
auditors of this state relative to the
locations of the more important coun-
ty roads. If sufficient data can be Sc
cured, he hopes to compile state
road map of sufficient accuracy to be
of value. A great many inquiries
have been made for state map
which show the more prominent
roads, and Mr.. Bliss expects that
there will be big demand for them.
Mr.. Bliss says that the replies re-
ceived from the county auditors to
date practically assures the compile
ton of a map which will indicate the
location of the best roads between
the various county seats of the state.

pENouNcEs PRIMARY.

Minnesota's presidential preference
primary law was denounced as "a
fraud on the voters of the state and
the nation" by H. " Mercer of Min
neapols in arguing before the state
supreme court for the petition or
Walter N. Carroll to have the law de-
clared unconstitutional.
Chronic candidates are favored by
the law" said Mr. Mercer, land are
encouraged to seek the presidency.
The greater the credit to the seeker,
the more likely he is to seek the Of
fee. The greater the credit to the Of
flee, the less likely the man is to seek
it,"
w. J. Stevenson, assistant attorney
general, defended the law in appear
ing for julius A. fSchmahl, secretary
of state, and made light of Mr.. Mer-
GERS objections to it,. All the su.
preme court justices heard the argu-
ments in special session, and a rum.
Der of politicians attended, being al
tracted by the Importance OF the is.
sue involved.
Mr.. Carols attack on the law was
based on Secretary Schmahfs refusal
to accept his filings, first for delegate
at-large and then for presidential cleo
tor. Mr.. Carroll wanted to file with
out declaring his preference, and in
his answer to the order to show
cause. Mr.. Schmahl declared to the
court that he was simply Obeylng the
law as he understood it, as the pro-
posed filings did not comply with the
statute.
Mr.. Mercer declared that the law
may result in disfranchisemenr OF
Minnesota voters. No voter can ex-
press choice in the primary unless
the man of his choice has been filed
as a candidate. If no candidate IS
filed, there is no expires sion. The law
says that the electors must pledge
themselves to vote for the man ap.
proved by the voters in the primary.
Root might be the choice of the state
in the primary, while Hughes would
be nominated by the convention and
yet the electors would be pledged to
vote for Root If a voter wants to
express his choice for certain man,
he must first induce that man to per-
nit the use of his name. Ii ne jalls,
he must take his choice from among
the names filed, or not vote at all.
Those not finding the man OF their
choice on the ballot are disfranchised.
or else compelled to vote for man
they do not want, which Mr.. Mercer
said, is worse than total disfran-
chisement"

Local School Bonds
Resold at Par BY the
First National Bank
VIEW HELD UMATILLA COUNTY
CAN GET ROAD BOND MONEY
AT FOUR PILR CENT.

That the bond market Is in the
most favorable shape in many years
may be seen from the fact the First
National Bank of Pendleton recently
sold at par the 100000 Pendleton
high school bonds, drawing four and
a half per cent interest The bonds
were sold to the Lumbermens Trust
Co., Of Portland.
The First National purchased the
bonds at the time the high school
was constructed several years ago.
The interest rate was such that for
several years the bonds could not
have been moved at par. However,
the financial situation is now so flour
ishing that an offer to take the bonds
was recently made to the bank and it
was accepted
The sale Of the school four and a
half per cent bonds at par is of inter-
est in view of the proposal to bond
the county for good roads As the
bonding proposition will go before
the people it will specify the bonds
shall draw not more than five per
cent interest In the view of men well
informed it should be possible to sell
Umatilla county road bonds drawing
four per cent interest The security
back of the bonds will be much great
er than the security for the school
bonds The size of the bond issue will
also be advantageous with reference to
the sale on favorable terms.
