JOHN l.. SULLIVAN.

The news of the death of John L. Sullivan will
bring to thousands of people who never saw the man
the sense of having lost a personal friend. Sullivan,
in the heydey of his career, was the worlds greatest
pugilist. But he was more than a man of skill and
Drawn. He was a parsonage and a national institution,
and in spite Of the adulation which was poured upon
him for his success in the ring. in spite of the wealth
which he squandered, and in spite of the unfortunate
habits which he contracted, he remained throughout his
life a big, laundering. warm hearted boy.
OF Sullivan anecdotes there are many, but one that
is recalled will serve to illustrate something Of the
quality that cndeared the man to many who looked
askance on his occupation and disapproved entirely Of
some of his habits. A man who had business with Sui
Ivan during the high tide Of his prosperity called to- see
him and was shown the direction in which the pugilist
had just gone. The visitor followed until he came to a
back yard from which ominous sounds issued. The
place. as the visitor learned afterward, was the home of
a destitute widow Of whose sad condition Sullivan had
just learned. There. in the squalid back yard. with
frock coat laid aside and silk hat pressed tightly on the
back of his head. was the worlds champion pugiist
in order to provide material for a fire in the kitchen
stove, and as the perspiration rolled down his face the
language in which he characterized the deserving 'hus-
band was unfit for publication.
That story is an index of sullivan's quality. In or
out of the ring he was a human being. with a warm
heart and both the strength and weakness of an emo
tional nature. It is not strange that men of educa ton
and social standing found in him a refreshing COM
panion, or that those in humble stations made of him
an idol, for the real man was always there and in
evidence.
Sullivan passed through the period Of dissipation
from which few professional pugilists escape. In the
days of his youth and strength he won many victories.
But in his later years. when. according to the common
understanding his fighting days were long past, he fought
a more desperate fight and won a finer victory than had
ever been his in the ring. for he mastered his own
passions and conquered his own appetites, and after
going down into the depths of degradation, he was able
once more to stand before the world, a man.

TOOK TOO MUCH FOR GRANTED.

The distressing accidents in which, on two con-
secutive days, two sleighs loaded with school children
were struck by trains within a few miles of each other.
just over in Minnesota, present impressive object lessons
on the folly Of taking chances where human life may
be involved. The news dispatch telling of one of the
accidents says that at that place it was the duty of the
railroad to flag the crossing. This may be true, and
for all we know to the contrary, that may be the fact
in both cases. But such an understanding, if it exists,
does not in any measure relieve the driver of such a
conveyance of responsibility. ....'
The practice followed by the Grand Forks Street
railway company-to use a local Observation-Disclosures
the point. At one of the principal crossings in the city
there are railroad gates which are supposed to be closed
street railway employees are not permitted to depend on
this warning. They are required to stop each car a
sufficient number of feet from the crossing, and the con-
ductor must go forward and satisfy himself by personal
inspection that no train is near before the car may pro-
coed. This rule applies to all crossings in the city,
whether protected by gates or not.
There should be some such requirement with refer
ence to the crossings Of tracks by vehicles used as public
conveyances of any kind. That is, it should be under
stood to be the business of the driver, who is the re-
sponsible person in charge, to take nothing for granted,
but to know that the crossing is safe before he attempts
it. In these two deplorable cases the drivers thought
the crossings were safe. They did not know, and be-
cause they did not know, nine children were killed.

POTATO YIELDS

Potato yields vary with soil, climate, local weather,
prevalence of such diseases as blight, and most of all
with the labor intelligently invested in the crop. The
normal yield for the United States is somewhere around
100 bushels per acre. Many experienced growers in the
northwest who cultivate large tracts figure on $50
bushels as a standard yield. Two hundred and even
800 bushels per acre is not at all uncommon, And farm
yields in many cases greatly exceed these figures.
The city gardener is concerned, not with yields per
acre. but with yields per square foot. He is dealing in
square feet, and not in acres. And on a we'll cultivated
city lot, under the conditions Of cultivation quite prac-
tcable on a farm tract, yields which would run into
very large figures can easily be reached in a moderately
good year. ID
The city lot of so by 40 feet, mellow and we'll
titled. on which potatoes have not been grown for sew
eral years, can be made to produce anywhere from so
to 100 bushels of marketable potatoes if the season is
fairly favorable. One year with another a man can raise
on as25 foot lot enough potatoes for his family for an
entire year, and he can do it with an expenditure of
labor so slight that he will never notice it. The potato
crop is one of the safest and most generally satisfactory
that the city gardener can raise. '

SlNN FEM LOGIC

So Edward De Valera has been elected head of. the
Sim Fein organization in Ireland. Mr.. De Valera saws
that Ibis been invaded by Eng
land, and that SO long as English troops are in Ireland
q state of war exists between the two countries. There
fore. says Mr.. DE Valera, "England's enemies must be
Irelands friends
Let us see where that leads us. Germany, Eng
lands enemy, is 1reland's friend. Ireland, as represented
by the Sim Feiners. naturally reciprocates. Germany
is the enemy of the United States. Ireland-sinn Fein
1reland-is the friend of Germany. Therefore that Ire
land is the enemy of the United States.
If Mr.. De Valera is logical, if his reasoning is
sound, every non ma turalized Irishman in the United
States. who is a member of the Sim Fein or a sympa-
stltzer with it should be informed as an alien enemy: and
every American citizen who is either affiliated or in sym
sspathy with: the Sim Tein should be jailed as a sed,,;ous
person ~ .
;saassssssssS II is 20 wonder that the men who have struggled
ayalantlySfor years for Irish home rule, and who see
some prospect of success just ahead stand aghast at the
mischievousness Of the Sim Fein propaganda. It is no
wonder that O'CIonnor has denounced the ~pernicious
activities of this society, and that Redmond :as besought
his countrymen to have sense. Neither, it may be sale
is itany wonder that; an elementSoEsthbe Irish population
which has on SO many occasions exhibited a total in
capacity for constructive action has been led into mazes
of folly by such Missionaries as De Valera.

TIMELY AND CREDITARLE

The Herald has just received from the secretary of
the Minot' Association of Commerce, Will E. Holbein,
who is irreverently addressed by his intimates as "Bill,'
a copy of as fine a little magazine asi has come to this
office in a long time. 1t is the special coal mining edition
of The Business Bulletin, which is the regular and official
monthly publication Of the association. Mechanically
the magazine is an exceedingly tasteful publication, and
we suspect that Mr.. Holbein had a good deal to do with
the arrangement, as well as the preparation of the mat.
ter, for he is an old newspaper man who knows printing
from the ground up.
The really striking feature of the magazine, how
ever, is Its timeliness and appropriateness. Minot is in
the center of a vast Ignite coal territory. Present fuel
conditions are directing attention to Ignite coal, its
availability. its possibilities, and the quantities which
may be made available for use. And now, Just at the
psychological moment, when people are interested and
want to know, along comes this magazine which tells all
about it. ~
There are given in the Bulletin several well.written
articles presenting pertinent facts about the coal de-
posts of North Dakota; articles describing mines H.
ready opened and in operation in the Minot district. and
the. announcements Of business firms now engaged in the
handling OF the coal. together with a fine line Of general
advertising indicative of the lively interest that is taken
by the business men of Minot in the development of
this, one of the states most important resources. The
articles are embellished with good illustrations, and the
whole work is a. credit to the city, the association, and
the secretary.
