Government by Few

Government by Few
 You know why the world long ago saw, though not all parts of it have acted upon the perception, that gov. ernment that is concentrated in the hands of too small a group of men is a bad government, not because the men are always bad, but because they go bad sooner or later, and because more than that, they don't know enough-they are not in touch with enough parts of the great and various bodies which they are trying to di. rect.
 '1 have been told again and again that it was a mistake for me not to call into counsel in public affairs the men who constitute what we have agreed to call Wall Street and have again and again said this: If they would come in a spirit of cooperation they would be more than welcome But they always come in spirit of resistance, not only, but advising al terations in the plans which would defeat the plant. l am speaking by the book This is not generalization. They have a subtle genius for propos- ing seemingly immaterial changes which would eventually lead to the defeat of the main objects of the leg station proposed. Do you wonder that I do not call them into consulta- tion? And yet I tell you again that they would be welcome when they come to cooperate and they will not be welcome until then.
 "Why, the amount of genius that is expended in this country in resisting hopeful changes is one of the greatest indictments on the score of waste that this country has laid itself open to. Brains have been burned out act ing as brakes. I solemnly protest that that is not the right use for the best

new PLAN
IS BEING
ADOPTED
Mid Term System of Promo
tions Worked Out for
Fargo Schools

Indications are that the adoption of
the mtd-term promotion scheme in the
schools of Fargo will permit a large
number of primary children to enter
the schools after the holidays. and 1t
Is known that there are twenty-h five
youngsters. who will enter at the
Agassiz building at that time.
This fact was brought out in a re-
port Of Supt. Arthur Deamer at the
meeting of the board of education last
night, when that body took UP the
matter providing room for these new
pupils.
To prevent the moving of a whole
grade from this, building to give room
for the new pupils. the board Is con-
sidering the removal Of a partition be-
tween two small rooms on the Sec
ond floor Of the Agassiz building,
which are not in use at the present
time. and making goods sized class

the hands of the building committee

Age at Entrance.
Superintendent Deamer took up the
matter Of the desirable age at which
children should be allowed to enter the
schools. He said he would make it a
rule that any child reaching the age
Of 6 years on or before June /, 1917,
will be admitted during the holidays,
and that next fall any child who will
have reached that age on or before
Dec. 1, 1917, will be allowed to at

Two Regular Substitutes.
The board last night passed q
resolution for the employment of two
regular substitute teachers for the
Fargo schools. They will be on the
payroll continually, and will work
wherever needed to take the place Of
teachers taken from their work by
sickness or other emergency.
Last year on an average of two
substitutes were at work every day
and 1t is the belief of the board that
by putting two substitutes on the
regular payroll a better class Of teach
ers can be secured, and that they can
be maintained at little additional cost

FLOOD OF ASIANS
COMING TO U. s.
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, d. c., Dec. 7.--Warning
against a threatened migration of the
populations Of western Asia to the
United States is contained in the an
nual report of Commissioner General
Anthony Caminetti of the immigration
service, made public today. The war
and conditions Immediately after it's
close will stay the stream for a time,
but steps to head it off, must be taken
before transportation interests begin
to Gull the field for their business, the
report declares. y = o. .'
immigration from the far orient, too,
is a problem still unsolved, the report
sets forth. The systems heretofore de-
Vised to deal with it do not promise
much improvement and machinery for
enforcement Of the Chinese exclusion
act is not adequate or we'll adapted,
it says. Arrangements for the admis-
sion Of Japanese. it is declared. should
be amended to fit conditions better.
The Chinese exclusion law" says
the report, should be so modified as to
make use of the same administrative
methods and means as are employed
in enforcing the general immigration
law; and the Japanese arrangement
should be SO changed as to reduce ma
terially the efficiency Of the other fair
ly satisfactory plan"
t1thdu Immigration, WhtSh WOutd pe
permitted more freely under a recent
supreme court decision. will be taken
care of in the Burnett immigration bill
pending in congress.
Smuggling OF Chinese. the report
says, has been combated vigorously
with the result that amateur SNUG
Cling has been stamped out to a large
degree. Higher prices than Chinese
are willing to pay therefore, 1t is said,
has attracted to the business an expert
class of criminals who use more scien-
tific methods. A bigger appropriation
Is asked to meet the problem.
The war situation, the report says
has presented many difficult legal ad-
ministrative questions at sea ports and
along the Canadian border.
The report describes the develop
ment of its employment service and
outlines an extension of it's policy Of
cooperation with state and municipal
employment agencies.

BETTER LAWS
NEEDED TO CURB
The TRUSTS
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, Dec. 7.-Complete dl-
1yorcement of transportation from
production by amending the COM
modities clause of the interstate COM
merce law; authority to sue corpora
tions wherever they transact pusl-
ness: perfection OF neutrality laws
and extension of the right or search
warrant in criminal cases are among
the recommendations OF Attorney
General Gregory in his annual report
to congress, made public today.
The attorney general says that de-
spite the governments victory in the /
supreme court in the Lackawanna
Coal company case the railroads are
still able to claim that the commodt-
ties clause does not prohibit them
from engaging in production along
their lines, provided only that they
sell the articles produced before trans
porting them. He urges an amend
ment, introduced at the last session
of congress, to prohibit a railroad
from transporting articles manufac-
tured or produced by 1t or by any
corporation it controls or it is aftiliat-
ed with by having the same controll-
ing stockholders, irrespective OF In
terest in the articles at the time or
transportation. He says 1t Is also
necessary that congress prohibit any
railroad owned or controlled by a
producing or trading corporation, and
not merely a plant, from transporting
the articles produced or owned.
Employment for federal prisoners
ana an amendment to the criminal
code to prohibit the false labelling Of
packages which contain arms and am
munition are among other recon-
mendations. The last is to meet eva
sions of the embargo on arms to Mex
leo. .t
The present administration, the at
torney general says, has insisted upon
more effective dissolutions of mon
opolies and combinations in restraint
of trade and at the same time has
been solicitous to avoid prosecutions
for which there is no adequate
ground" During tho year ten of these
cases have been finally determined
and of 36 cases now pending Is, in
cluding, the Reading, Lehigh Valley,
Harvester, Steel Kodak, and Shoe
machinery cases, have reached the
supreme court. OF those disposed of,
one was the case OF the National Reg
lister company whose conviction was
set aside by the court of appeals, an
nulling two counts Of the indictment
and constituting the third so as to
make a successful trial impossible, and
the attorney general says 'the Grim
inal proceedings will not be further
prosecuted"

WOULD HAVE
ILLINI BOXING
Law REPEALED
Chicago Athletic Association
Plans Active Campaign
to That End
(By Associated Press )

Chicago, Dec. Mime hundred men,
comprising the Second Regiment Ath
1etic association, led by Col. John J..
Clarity, voted yesterday to undertake
ian active campaign for the repeal of
the law against boxing in this state.
Il cannot understand why people OBJ
eject to boxing and then approve wrest-
ling and football" said Col. Garrity.
Either is a far more dangerous
sport. In boxing one hears the thud
or slap Of a glove on a naked breast
and occasionally sees a squirt of blood
from the nostrils. These are triviali-
ties.
But in wrestling there is the cruel
relentless twisting Of fingers and toes,
the crunching of bones and the grind
ing of muscles, all so silently that the
onlooker can not see what the partici-
pant is suffering, and in football there
is the smashing Of body against body,
the hurting Of one human hulk against
another, the desperate graphing of
one powerful runner rushing at top
speed, by another. Yet no one raises
Il protest against these sports.
Boxing is not only interesting but
it is essentially clean, and a manly
sport, indulgence in which affords
physical training of incalculable
yaiue"

RUPERT DENIES CHARGE
OF FRATERNITY BOSS
Says Ray Keatina Received Salary for
Entire Season Though He Pitched
But Nine Games.
(By Associated Press.)

New York, Dec. Jacob Rupert,
president Of the New York American
league baseball club. last night denied
that the club had taken advantage of
the disability clause in the contract of
Player Ray Heating, as charged re-
Gently by David Fultz, president Of the
Players fraternity, and had not paid
Keating in full. Heating, according to
statement made by Rupert, pitched
in nine games during the first two
months of the 1916 season. Later,
after physicians had examined the
player at the expense of the New York
club, Keating, the owner of the Yam
KEGS, declared, received his salary,
which was $4,000 for the season.
The case of Player Vance, he added,
did not concern the New York Ameri-
cans, but was a matter between Vance
and the Columbus American associa-
tion club, which took over the players
contract at the beginning of the 1916
season.
The Columbus club, Rupert said he
understood, paid Vance one-half of his
salary after the player had agreed to
accept it because Of his inability to
play.

In Realms of Sport
Choice of Manager
For Next Season
Big Ball Problem

Who will succeed the late Col. Rob-

go-MOorhead Northern league club?
This question is a much discussed
one among Fargo and Moorhead base
ball fans at the present time, though
nothing definite has been announced by
the baseball committee.
Several applications for the job are
in the hands of the committee, among
these one from George Mullin, former
Detroit American league hurler, who
managed the Newark team in the In
ternational league the past two years.
A considerable number of fans would
like to see Denny Sullivan, Fort Will

liam manager in 1916, at st. Joseph in
the Western league last season, get the
place. Denny it is said, wouldn't be at
all averse to accepting the job.
Sullivan's popularity with local fans,
his baseball experience, and his ability
to handle youngsters make him an
ideal manager.
Ralph Bell, pitcher with the team the
past two years, has also been men
toned in this connection, but whether
he would accept if offered the job is a
probability.
1t is hardly probable that the 1917
manager for the local team will be ap-
pointed until after the new year.
