\ WE NEED A BAND

With Memorial Day close at, hand
and, the Fourth IF July looming up in
the offing, question Of a band for
Dickinson is a live subject at this
time, not only for these two holidays,
but also in connection with any pa
triotic demonstrations in which q band
would play a prominent part. And
the Dickinson band is only in the in
cubation stage, and business men and
officials of the city seem content to
allow it to remain there.
A prominent local man visited the
Press office one day this week and
conversation turned to the band ques-
ton. The local man formerly resided
in Ohio, and he told interestingly Of
a splendid band which had proved a
great advertisement for a hustling
little city of 5000 in the Buckeye
state. H.
This organization was formed a
number of years ago, and a competent
leader employed at a good salary to
whip the recruits into shape. Prog
ress was necessarily slow at first,
but during the second year, the band
commenced to gain prominence. Now
it is one of the best known musical
organizations in the state. 1t has
a standing contract to play every
year at the Ohio state fair, and it is
in demand for special celebrations
throughout the state, with opportuni-
ties for far more dates than it can
fill.
But value of the band is not con-
fined to the advertising which is given
to the city which it represents. Every
Thursday night the band gives a con-
cert in it's home town, and that night
is a gala occasion. A portable band
stand is erected at the intersection of
the two principal streets Of the city,
and every Thursday night there is an
assemblage gathered in the city which
packs the main thoroughfares for a
distance of several blocks. The
countryside for a radius of forty miles
in every direction, flocks into the city.
Farmers drive in early in the after
noon in their cars, that they may
procure places of vantage. in which to
park their machines. They take their
evening meal in the city and do
their trading there before the concert
begins.
Business men of the city estimate
that the band concerts bring in a vol
m Of business amounting to many
thousands Of dollars, a great part of
which would go to neighboring cities
and towns if the attraction of the con-
certs was not held out to the farm
ers to do their trading in this par
ticular city. -,
Dickinson could we'll emulate the
Ohio city, a S surrounding this city on
all sides is a territory from which
vast numbers would be attracted by a
weekly band concert. A band for
Dickinson is a crying need, and the
merchant who walls about the initial
cost is certainly one Of the most
short-sighted of beings. A band here
would repay the amount expended for
leader, uniform, instruments and
bandstand many times over, and it is
indeed singular that local merchants
are unable to see the matter in it's
proper light. @M5

FIRST BATTLE ON
GRIDIR0N STAGED

In the first scrimmage of the sea-
son yesterday afternoon in MaxenG
PARK, the High School football team
defeated the scrubs by the score of
1910.
Though only three letter men re-
turned to the school this year some
excellent material was discovered
among the new entries, and the school
expects to put as powerful machine
in the field this season as ever drove
cleats in the gridiron for the Red
and White.
No definite schedule has been made
up for the team but it is probable
that it will meet Palmer College on
the local field October Is. The team
is being coached by Elmer Enlow,
athletic director for the High School,
and Prof. Ross Rogers, principal.

OCTOBER 4, 1917.
One Hundred and Seventy-Eighth Day
of America in the War.
GEN. CROZIER WAS RIGHT

The sharp criticism of the bureau of
ordnance for not having on hand a suf-
ficient supply of rifles for the national army
has been answered by Brig. Gen. William
Crozier, chief of the bureau. He says it is
true that there is shortage of arms, but
points out that the government faced the
alternatives of supplying the soldiers
promptly with inferior rifles incapable of
using uniform ammunition and without
interchangeability of parts, or suffer an en-
durable delay while preparations were be-
ing completed for production of the more
desirable arm in large quantities.
Each cantOnment is supplied with 5000
rifles for drill purposes, which Gen. Croz-
Ter states is amply sufficient for present
needs, as it is not essential that all of the
men at any camp drill at the same time.
Delivery of the approved rifles are being
made at the rate of 1900 per day and this
output is being increased with each work
ing day.
The important point in Gen. Crozier's
statement is that every soldier who leaves
for France will be equipped with modern
rife, capable of giving dependable service.
Reserve supplies will also be on hand to
meet demands for requirements on the
battlefelds.
1t would seeem that the bureau of ord
nance has not been remiss. but has been
meeting difficult problem in a sane and
intelligent way. 1t was unquestionably
better to put UP with a temporary delay
and with public criticism rather than send
our soldiers to battle with Indispensable
lighting equipment and, now that they
understand, the American people will en-
dorse Gen. Nrozier'S action.

GERMAN PEOPLE ARE AWAK-
ENING

The German people are beginning to
realize the profound moral isolation of
their nation. The process has been gradual
those at home could not realize the full ex-
tent of the horrors committed by German
soldiers and sailors under the direction of
1he Prussian war-lords. They believed the
atrocities to be exaggerated, they were
loath to admit Germany's lust for power
They excused Wanton murder as military
necessity and trusted the world would &C
cept Germany's explanations when the acts
of wantonness are viewed with the calm
deiberation that will follow cessation of
conflict.
But awakening has come sooner than
was expected The proof is so overwhelm-
ing that the great masses of the German
people being convinced that their leaders
have not been malgned. They are realiz-
ing that Germany has passed outside the
pale of civilized community and has for
feited the respect of civilized peoples.
The weight of the odum is beginning
to be felt by the German people, they are
feeling the strain and it is burning into
their very souls. The militarists are fight
ing hard to bolster their cause and to
maintain their power, but remarks like
those of Won Tripitz, who said, at must
be stated that it is wrong but right that
has been done to Belgium" are having
profound effect upon the thinking people

TELEPHONE CASE WON
In DISTRICT COURT
Ten Cent Arbitrary Charge Ordered
in Physical Connection Case is
0verTuled

The test case which will decide
whether the long distance telephone
is to be a convenience or an aggrava-
ton has moved along another step,
the district court having ruled on
the appeal from the order of the
railroad and warehouse commission.
The case arose out of the attempt of
long distance companies entering
that city to obey the law relative to
physical connection. The situation
in Owatonna regarding the long dis
lance companies is similar to that
in Morris, where, in spite of the law
to the contrary, people must "come
over to central when receiving a
call on the line not connecting with
the local system.
The Owatonna Journal-Chronical
says of the CASE
"Owatonna wins it's fight with the
Northwestern Telephone Company
for the elimination of the ten cent
differential charge ordered by the
Minnesota Railroad and Warehouse
Commission when that body issued
its order for physical connection with
the Tri-State company.
cat the time of the Railroad and
Warehouse Commissions order for
the establishment of physical con-
nection between the Northwestern
and Tri-State companies at Owatonna
it was decreed that the latter COM
pany should pay the former a rea-
sonable rental for the use of cable
lines in making connection; that the
Tri-State company should also pay
five cent charge upon all messages
in and out over the Northwestern
lines, and ordered the Tri-State to
pay in addition to the rental and con-
nectiOn fee of five cents an arbitrary
of ten cents. The first two features
had been previously agreed to by the
| Tri-State company but the ten cent
arbitrary practically nuIlified the
benefit sought by an order for physi-
cal connection. Both companies ap-
pealed from the order of the commits
sion and the city council having de-
cided to drop out of the case at this
juncture, James Adair Joined in the
