FAIRNESS THE FOUNDATION.

The only basis on which you can build a secure social foundation is honesty and fairness. One reason why Germany collapsed so suddenly was the prevalence of injustice. Wealthy Germans were pretty well fed during the war. They could get all they wanted through underground channels and in violation of fair dealing and the food regulations. simply by paying for 1t.

The public library has recently
started a file of newspaper slippings.
The file at present contains about one
thousand clippings. The Valley City
papers are clipped for municipal news,
other papers Of the state for state
news the New York Times and papers
of like nature for general news For
example: all articles about the build
ing Of the new high school, the burn
ing Of the Armory, the building Of the
Memorial Hall, important events that
happen in Valley City, will be kept for
historical material of the city. All Of
the Tostevin articles Of the Fargo
Forum have been saved, in order that
we may have a record of the brave
conduct of the boys Of North Dakota
during the war. Other state material,
the passage of bills, agriculture, mines
Of the state, roads, other articles of
like nature will be kept
General articles will be filed using
the same subject headings as are
found in the Readers Guide to per-
iodical literature, thus making the
subject matter easily accessible. This
file will supplant magazine article
bringing them down to date, and will
contain some material not found in

The question of vacating Sixth ave
nue. in order to give the city schools
more playground room, is, being agl-
tated by those interested in the pro
position. The city council has the
power to declare this street vacant
if it wants to but we would advise the
council to go slow on this matter: It
is most important thing to act on
and the public should be protected
from any snap Judgment. Personally
we do not favor the closing Of one of
the finest streets in the city, but if it
is put to vote Of the people and :; q
majority want it, that should and will
settle it. This can be voted on at the
presidential primaries in March with,
out any extra cost to the city and
would be the only fair way out Of the
matter. It is better to buy a piece
Of ground for football field and play
ground than to close this avenue. The
paper is open to any comment the pub
lie would like to make on this subject.
