ly as such thing would have been
considered few years ago. but It was
genuine surprise to very many peo-
pie that the city of Winnipeg no, only
voted for the abolition Of the saloon.
but did so in such an emphatic man
ner. The Manitoba Capital says that
Winnipeg is the only city Of its size on
the continent that has ever given a
ma ajority for prohibition. and We have
no reason to question the statement
In all campaigns for prohibition it is
taken for granted that the large cities
will vote to retain the license system,
while the strength of the prohibition
sentiment will be found in the rural
districts.
The reason for this is not necessari-
ly that city people are more addicted
to drink that country people. It is
true that large cities have their slum
districts. but even if there is no con-
centration of the less desirable ele-
ment in the country districts, those
districts also have their undesirables.
Undoubtedly one of the reasons for
the reluctance which has been shown
in the large cities to adopt prohibit
ory legislation is that there is preva-
lent very we'll defined doubt as to
the reasonable probability Of a prohi-
ton law being observed in a large
city, hence many city voters who are
heartily opposed to the liquor traffic
are found voting for the retention Of
the license system as the most prac-
tical thing under all the circum-
stances.
Winnipeg's very emphatic verdict in
favor of prohibition is, therefore,
noteworthy. With a very large area
in Ontario under prohibition by local
option. and all Of the northwestern
provinces in the dry column, it ought
to be possible within a comparatively
short time to get a practical demon
stration of how nearly the people Of
Canada are really ready for an effect
i've prohibition law.

STUPID CHARGE TO MAKE.

Some of the charges made by the
sorlie campaigners against the Dinnie
administration are just plainly malic-
ious. Others are both malicious and
stupid OF the latter class is the asser-
tisn made in published statements re-
latinx to the payment of the city's
share Of the cost Of special improve
ments, such as paving, water mains
and sewers. The statement is made
that these payments become delin-
quent on March I, ana that thereafter
interest and penalty are charged
against the city If they are not paid
1t is charged that the taxes which be-
not paid until October, and that the
city thereby incurred the penalty at
tached to delinquency.
In the first place, 1t Is not true, as
stated, that the city's share Of public
improvement expenses was not paid
until October. The records for that
year show that these payments had
been made before September 1. It is
not true, as stated, that these pay
ments are made, or are required to be
made to the county treasurer. The
county treasurer has nothing TO do
with them. It is not true, as stated,
that these payments become delin-
quent on March i, and that penalty is
charged thereafter.
When settlement is made with the
contractor for special improvements
he is given warrants covering the en-
tire cost of his work. For tho retire.
ment of the warrants taxes are levied
against the property benefited for a
proper proportion of the cost, usually
80 per cent, and these taxet are COL
lected in the same manner as are 9TH
er taxes, and are subject to the same
conditions as to penalty and interest.
The city's share Of the cost, 10 per
cent, is provided for in the annual ap-
preparation ordinance. and it forms a
part of the general tax levy. The war
rants issued on account Of such i'm
provements are called in as funds are
received which are available for this
purpose. This means that payment is
made as taxes are received for that
purpose. There is no penalty. I'm
paid warrants draw no more interest
at one time than another, and they
cannot be paid until taxes are paid
and the money turned over. to. the
city. Payment is made; not by the
county treasurer, but by the city
treasurer. The .sorlie accusation is
false and silly.

NO HOLTDAY AFFAR..

There has been lot Of loose talk
in the past about the ease with which
affairs in Mexico could be Settled"
by the sending into our neighboring
republic Of a handful Of American
troops. There were visions of few

through Mexico, driving the flying
Mexicans before them like chaff,

Mexico. but beyond it. through the

COMMUNITY LIVESTOCK
SCHEME IS COMMENDED
Grand Forks County Better Farming
Association Lends Impetus to
Pure Bred Cattle Movement.

At meeting of the Grand Forks
Better Farming association in the
court house the subject of community
stock raising was taken up and unani-
mously endorsed for the farmers of
this portion Of the Red river valley.
AS result Of this meeting efforts
will be made to encourage the breed
ing OF pure bred cattle of various
kinds in the different communities.
Conditions throughout this portion Of
the country will be greatly improved
by this method, it is believed, and will
tend greatly to discourage the raising
Of dual purpose cattle.
Many suggestions Of interest are
contained In the report of the COM
mittee appointed to look into the mat

Of American troops into Mexico will

MORE DEMOCRATIC HARMONY.


In North Dakota we are having an
exhibition of more democratic har-
mony; or perhaps it would be better
to say that we are being given an
other exhibition of the same old har-

given to understand that the fact
that man was democrat was evil

imasin;rys.
The il'atiOn as it presents itself
toda" is that not all democrats are
worthy of confidence aud respect. 1t
is painful to reach this conclusion. but
no other is possible. On the one hand
We arc ass,lred by life long democrats

seeker, and that those who consort
with him are no better than he is, II.
indeed, they are not worse. On the
other hand the defenders of the conf
mitteeman are equally positive in their
assertion that the men who make
these charges are themselves unwor-

point upon it, they are In politics
