COMMERCIAL CLUB ORGANIZATION

With the election OF a new set Of officers for the en-
suing year, the Grand Forks Commercial Club starts out
on a new period Of activity, and adds another to the COM
pleted years Of work. The new president, H. B. Finch.
is one Of the most prominent business men in the state.
the. head of a great organization which carries on a
business of vast magnitude, not only in North Dakota,
but in a territory many time the area Of this state. He
has demonstrated his business capacity in many ways,
ana his assumption Of the duties Of president Of the
Commercial club Is but one Of the many evidences which
he has given. in a quiet and unostentatious way, Of the
interest which he takes In the public affairs Of the COM
munity.
No one will ever be able to estimate correctly the
value of the influence which the Commercial club has
welded in shaping the course and aiding the develop
nent of Grand Forks. Doubtless the city would have
grown and made progress had there been no Commercial
club. But as one glances back over the years, and re-
calls the work which has been originated and carried to
a successful conclusion through the agency Of this club
he wonders how these things could have been brought
about without such an agency.
Consider just a few Of the conspicuous achievements
Of the club. There are the location Of Wesley College;
the building Of the street railway: the organization Of the
Civic League; the initiation Of the movement for a park
system; the building Of ct. Michael's hospital; the organi.
cation Of the Northern Packing company. These have
left visible and material evidences Of their presence. And
exerted on behalf Of the club an effort in the direction OF
cooperation with individuals and public bodies of almost
every character for the furtherance Of their work in or
der that Grand Forks might be 4 better home city and
a better business city.
Add to this the influence which has been exerted in
the way Of bringing together the people Of the city en-.
gagged in various callings. Of breaking down the walls o.
loyalty to the city and the willingness of each man tt
cooperate with all the others in every worthy work, and
we have a record Of achievement Of which any orsanisa.
ton might we'll be proud.

Womankind has the final say about
this, and doubtless will respond to the
appeal for q thorough-going reform
In the practice. at least for the dura-

that what was originally q conveni.

as sh~opkeepers and salesclerks will
testify, and as many customers will
admit, If it is brought to their atten-

The merchants cannot be held
blameless; they have encouraged it.
The Council of National Defense rec
ommends that they discourage it from
now on, and calls upon customers to
cooperate.

All this is plain enough. Expressed

THE FLAG!
WHEN AND HOW!

Rules for how and when to use the
American nag:
The Flag-should not be raised be-
fore sunrise and should be lowered. at
sunset.

the spectator should. II walking, halt;
II sitting. arise, stand at attention and

When Portrayed-The nag when
portrayed by an illustrative process
should always have the staff so placed
that 1t is at the left Of the picture,
the fabric floating to the right. Tn
crossing the flag with that of another
nation, the American nag should be
at the right.

Dissertation Of the Flag-No adver.
tisement or lettering Of any sort
must ever be placed upon the aag,
nor must it I'VE be used as a trade
mark. It may not be worn as the
whole or part Of a costume. and when
worn. as a badge it should be small
and pinned. over the left breast OF to
the left collar lapel.
Displaying the Flag-The flag, out
OF doors, should be flown from a pole
whenever possible. In the United
States army all flags are. suspended
from poles and in no other way.
Used in Decorations-When the flag
is hung vertically ESQ it can be viewed
from one side only the blue feld
should be a he right. as one faces
1t. When hung horizontally the field
should be at the left. The flag should
never be placed below a person sit

SEVERAL THINGS AT A TIME

We Americans have the habit Of doing several things
ut a time. and In that We probably do not differ greatly
from other people. Doubtless the French deputies are
accustomed to injecting into legislative enactments mat
teo which do not belong there. Certainly the British at.
tach all sorts Of riders to all sorts of bills in order that
the passage of the main bill may carry with 1t some other
feature which Is not related to 1t. And the practica ts
so common in the United States that 1t passes with
slight comment. -.
inclusion Of a prohibition clause in the food control bill
1t is true that the clause prohibiting the use Of food ar
ticles for the manufacture of alcoholic beverages is put in
SUCH form as to give it the appearance Of a food con-
servation measure. 1t is equally true that the major pur-
pose Is not to conserve food, but t. FINNISH the con-
sumption Of alcohol. The fact that possible to link
the two together has been seized upc.. ~ the prohibition
enthusiasts as an opportunity to secure the enactment of
the legislation which they consider most highly desirable.
The inconsruity that exists in the. tumble which Is
found In much of our legislation is not affected by the
desirability Of the legislation itself. There is scarcely
room to question seriously that II the use Of Intoxicating
beverages could be banished from the nation for the
period Of the war, or forever, the nation would be bet
ter off. Enforced abstinence would be no great hardship
to anyone. 1t would seriously inconvenience but a few.
And the elimination. of the evils which come from tho
Incorporate use of liquor would be of such incalculable
benefit that such slight inconvenience as occasional in
dWtduals might be called on to endure are not to be con-
sidered in comparison.
Logically a bill having such possibilities ought to
be considered by itself and on its own merits. To attach
1t to a bill Of another sort. which is being enacted for an.
other purpose, does not give opportunity for the proper
consideration Of the prohibition question itself. But its
passage in its present form is in accordance with a GUS
custom Of doing several things at a time.
