In The Open Forum
A Column Devoted to the Task OF
Keeping UP With North Da-
kota Editors.

This comment from The Farmers
Leader, the official Nonpartisal
paper of Bowman county, is TOT
good to be permitted to die I'M
noticed:
Conservation!
God! But how the mental per-
verts do abuse the word. Or, is
it just bit of ignorance on the
part of some who only think
they think?
We hear the prattle of the old
gang press talking conservation
this and conservation that-but
never a word pleading for the
safeguarding of justice, truth
and self-respect.
In other days a newspaper
editor was justly credited with
having the best interests OF his
community and his country at
heart-to deliberately falsify
men and issues were as foreign
to him as is halo in hell.
But the old gang editor of to-
day stands with his deceitful
mask jerked off, revealed to the
public the depraved lick-spittle
that he is-degenerated, humili-
ated at the feet of corruption,
ever ready to do the bidding Of
the privileged parasites who
never sweat a drop Of blood on
life's battlefield.
And the same pens of the old
gang editors that write in
sanctimonious strains of patriot
ism and conservation dip into
wells of iniquity and splash their
spleen into the eyes of the I'M
thinking that they may not sec
the dawn Of a new day in the
ascendaney of the Nonpartisan
league.
Talking of "splashing spleen"
Gosh, but those kept press" editors
must be devils!
The way of the country editol
who is determined to be loyal, is no
always a bed of roses, and tn
weekly press of North Dakota is en-
titled to the greatest credit 70
standing by the principles of RICH
and justice when it is not Away
easy. The Forman Independent
News just hints, at this situation il
the following:
The independents News re-
grets IL 1t has said anything at
any time with regard to the war
that has hurt anyone's feelings,
but we believe in intense loyalty
to Uncle Sam in this critical per-
iod, and we can't countenance
disloyalty i'm any form. We pro-
pose to express our own sincere
convictions at all times, as
loyal citizen.
The Minot Messenger is no shrink
ing violet when it has an opinion Z
express. It has a habit of speaking
out in plain terms, as witness:
The old gang and a ghost are
about the same thing. Will some
person please tell us what is
meant when a fellow refers to
the old gang? Why not get out
and say what you mean? The

violinist.
The layman would be surprised If
he were faced with the necessity of
memorizing ten or fifteen pieces Of
poetry, and even the average fine
musician finds it quite impossible to
keep up a repertoire numbering more
than twenty-five or thirty pieces that
he can. play at a moments notice.
How then is it possible for the big
artists like Mischa Elman to retain
100, 200 or even more solos in their
mind? There is of course no way to
explain it. Genius cannot be under
stood. Mischa Elman. for instance,
has at his fingers ends no less than
% concertos, SS sonatas, Is concert
numbers with either orchestra Or
piano, and 112 smaller pieces such as
encore numbers and the like. This
represents his actual working ma
terial, the works that he can and
does play off hand from memory.
Elman does not by any means con-
fine his activities to playing the violin
and while this might be determined
his, vocation and while he devotes
the greater part of his time to it,
he nevertheless finds his avocation
in composing, and has perhaps ac-
quired as much proficiency in this
creative field of art as he has in the
interpretative field Of playing.
Elmans compositions comprise
music to words by many Of the great
English poets as well as music now
being written for q ballet for which
Adolf Bolm has created the dane
ing.
Elman prefers, however, to keep
this phase OF his talents to himself
and his publishers, and as far as Is
known, has not as yet played any
Of his compositions publicly.
The famous Pembroke estate on
Long Island will be seen in THE
Outsider" Metro wonderfully
adapted from Louis Joseph Vance's
novel, Nobody" starring exquisite
Emmy Wehlen, which will be shown
at the Isis theater today and Thurs
day.
''The Outsider" required a magnif-
icent residence with sumptuous sur
roundings and this famous estate
was selected as being absolutely in
keeping with the beautiful back
ground of the Vance story.
Captain De Lamar, the owner of
the estate. imported from Belgium
some of the odd and remarkable
plants and trees that now Rdorn his
grounds. The private swimming pool,
the sun parlors, the magnificent fur
nishings, as well as the beautiful

To secure the atmosphere, Cap

SALOON MEN DEMAND
REDUCED WATER RATES
Ask Councils to Revise Those
Fixed a Year Ago-Charge
Discrimination

Asserting that the wIter-meter rates, that
beraue effective the first part of the year,
are proving hardship, several score of the
almost 1000 saloonkeepers of this city asked
tbe members of Councils Committee on
Water Rates to allow reductions in 1918.
Their. request for ferrule and meter changes
were taken under advissment and will be
acted upon during the fall months.
The Saloon men were among the principal
obiectors when the new rates became effec-
tive. and at that. time II was argued that
as they we're among the worst "wasters'
of water in the city, they naturally would
object to having TO pay for the excess
water used for their establishments. Last
fan chairman Gaffney, OF Councils Finance
Committee. and other members OF the water
rate investigation, agreed that If after Il
wears trllI the rates proved discriminatory
or excessive they would be made equitable.
This condition, speakers for the saloon men
contend has resulted and relief is sought
The various amounts paid by saloon men
are governed by the size of the ferrule used
10 hermit a flow of water into their estab-
,Ishments as we'll as by the number Of
fixtures in use The average ferrule is less
than one inch, making the fiat charge ap-
proximate S32, plus fixture and other
charges. Excess water used is paid for at
the rate of forty cents per thousand gal
must pay higher fiat, rate per thousand
gallons than is the case with the smaller
establishments This condition. the saloon
men contend. is discriminatory, and changes
in the ferrule rates formed the cruX Of to-
da VS. demand.

LEWIS IN REPLY
TOLEASE CRITICS
Transit Advisor Admits No
Provision Against Scent
Exchanges
FARES MUST PAY CITY

-Four criticisms Of the sm;h-Mitten tram
sit lease made by former Transit Director
A. Merritt Taylor, and sustained from Il
legal point by six of the cty's leading law
yers, were answered by william Draper
Lewis. legal transit advocate of Mayor
Smith. in a letter made public today to
Caouncis' Joint Finance and Street Rail-
ways Committee
Mr. Lewis asserted in spite OF the view Of
these six attorneys that the lease does not
guarantee any rate of dividend to The Phtla-
dephia Rapid Transit Company and that
there is no commitment on the part Of the
city to ask the Public Service Commission
to hr a rate Of fare which will enable the
company to earn more than per cent
dividend.
He contended also that there is nothing
in the lease which obligates, directly or in
directly. the city to purchase the property
of the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company
at any time.
Mr. Lewis answered a frank Yes" to
the inquiry Of Mr.. Taylor as to whether
the City's full interest and sinking tuhd
charges are to be met out Of the gross rev
enues of the united system, or IN other
words. out Of the car fares.
Mr. Lewis likewise admitted that the lease
does provide for the continuance Of the
eight-cent exchange tickets, but. he points
out, these tickets may be abolished a. the
opening of the Broad street subway, and
the opening of this subway will automat-
ically eliminate the use OF exchange tickets
to the extent of approximately 60 per cent,
The appointment of a supervising board
as provided in the lease is again defended
by Nlr Lewis and he predicted that when the
plan Of the board is fully understood it will
be indorsed.
Before taking up his answers to Mr..
Taylor's criticisms, Mr.. Lewis pledged him
self in lns letter to recommend that the IAN
guage of the lease be changed so that all
possible doubt will be removed regarding
the Interpretation of certain clauses, and
particularly that which Mr. Taylor's attor-
ney's assert guarantees the company 6
per cent dividend.
None of the six attorneys who prepared
the opinion iudorsing the former directors
contentious would make any reply to Mr..
Lewiss letter today, preferring to wait
until the next public hearing to be held
Friday, October >. These attorneys are
Charles L. McKeehau. Parker s. Williams,
Thomas Raeburn White, william A. Glas-
gov. Jr. Henry g. Thompson, Jr, and
owen J. Roberts.

FTREMEN SAVE PRIEST
OVERCOME IN CHURCH
Father McSorley Carries Out
Valuable Articles Until Rem
dered Unconscious

Defying smoke and flames. the Rev. NJ.
j. McSorley, rector of the Church of the
Presentation at Cheltenham, succeeded in
getting out valuable altar ornaments. and
was trying to remore some newly installed
electrical fixtures. when. he was overcome
and had to be carried out by flremen. The
church interior and twenty-four stained
glass windows were destroyed at a loss
estimated as $4,000, fully covered by in
surance.
John Lindot, of the Roctledge Fire Com
pany, summoned with the LaMotE Glenside,
Old York road and JenSntown companies
TO help the Cheltenham outfit, was bruised
and cut when his company's motor ap-
paratus skldded into a telegraph pole while
turning out for an automobile on Second
Street pike, Fox Chase, and was wrecked.
Burning charcoal falling from a censer
TO the carpet, is believed to have caused
the fire. The thick smoke which belched
out of the rear Of the church was seen
by some boys, who informed Father Nc
Sorley.

WASHINGTON, Sept. "a.


The Fraukfurd Arsenal will receive ST.
245,OOo in the $4,000, 100000 urgent de-
fr.ency bul for the army and navy, instead
Of St146.OOo the amount carried for il in
tNe bill as it passed the House. The IN
crease was made by the Senate Appropria-
tions committee, and the bill as changed
Was reported fayorably to the Senate today
for passage
The destruction Of the dry houses in the
recent explosions at FranNford, and the
need OF addition dry-house equipment to
meet the needs of expanding the produC-
ton Of ammunition there for war condi-
tions were responsible in part for the in
creases voted by the committee
The House appropriated $500 for dry
house facilities at Frankford and the Sem
ate committee has raised that item TO
SG5,000. The only other increase made in
the items for Franlford is that for the pur-
chase Of equipment for the manufacture Of
small arms ammunition That sum Is
raised from Sl250OO to S2O5,0O0. All the
other items in the. money provided for
Franlford remain the same as they We're
carried in the House.
