The police department started a
good job recently when it set out to re-
mind auto drivers that we have exist
ing laws that ought to be respected.
The Independent trusts that this is not
merely spasmodic demonstration
but that the department will continue
to hale all violators into court. It is
better to pay an occasional fine of
$40 for instance, than to run down
some pedestrian who happens to be
crossing a thorofare. The police de-
partment cannot be subjected to any
criticism if everybody is treated alike.
The man driving the $4,000 limousine
should respect the law Just the same
as the fellow who ranbles along in his
Humble Henry.

Minot is the city of beautiful homes.
A home does not need to be large and
imposing to be beautiful. Some of the
prettiest homes we have in Minot are
the small covered cottages, sur
rounded by neatly kept lawns and gar
dens. Everywhere about the city
there are evidences of the careful at
tention that the yards have received.
The unsightly piles of ashes and rub
bish have disappeared from the rear
yards. Well kept gardens replace
them. Lawns are neatly cut. The
hedges are nicely trimmed. Flowers
are blooming everywhere. The trees
appear at their best at this season of
the year. A little attention given to
the home surroundings pays big in adj
ded satisfaction Minot never before
as beautiful as at present

Indians. Many of the old warriors
cannot speak English but they talk
ed thru interpreters. The Indians
were very loyal during the war and
they are kept we'll versed in what has
been going on in Europe. They have
the utmost respect for the guns of the

The county has on hand number of
perfectly good road drags that could
be used to good advantage at the
proper time, but which have been used
scarcely at all this season. The coun-
ty pays for dragging the roads at the
rate of rs cents an hour for man
with four horses. This does not seem
to be enough to make the proposition
particularly interesting, but the COM
missioners figure that it is fairly good
pay considering that the man who
drags the roads is going to get good
deal of the benefit from the good roads
extending past his farm and that the
work usually can be done shortly after
rain when he might not be very bus
lily engaged otherwise Graded roads
that are not dragged are much poorer
than the old natural prairie trails. A
road should not be graded unless pro-
vision is made for dragging them.
There is law that each township
must make a levy equal to $500 per
mile for each mile of graded road in
that township. The money thus raised
may not pay all the expense of drag
ging the graded roads, but will go
long ways in providing better high
ways.
Lunbermen inform the Independent
that the prospects are that there will
be no decrease in the price of building
material or in the contract price of
building for a period Of years. Lum-
Der mills cannot handle the business.
While there is not great demand for
lumber in the vicinity of Minot just
now, in many parts of the United
States there is great building activity
livestock in the mills has been depict
ed by the demand made upon them by
the war There was call for all the
ship building lumber that could be
turned out. Only the larger parts of
the logs were used as there could be
no delay in saving out the material
and thus there was less saving Of the
smaller pieces Of lumber such as the
two by tours. Then, flooring and the
better classes Of lumber come from
the heart Of the logs. Little Of this

SEWANEE NIGHT

Big BOOSTER

Chattanooga. Oct. 19.-"Sewanee
night" was observed Wednesday at
Detroit, Michigan, in connection with
the triennial general conference Of the
Episcopal church. The occasion was
attended by the bishops and clergy of
the southern dioceses which own and
control the University of the South.
the Right Rev. William Mercer Green,
u. D.. bishop coadjutor of Mississippi;
an dan enthusiastic alumnts of the
University of the South, was one of
the principal speaker. At this meet
ing the Sewanec million dollar en-

The general headquarters of the
Sewanee drive at Chattanooga has re-
ceived word that the state of Missis-

government owing partly to a divis-
ion OF the Progressive vote between
tive two candidates and partly to the
effect of the railroad strike which put
the Progressives in a quandary. This
victory will strengthen the hands OF
the government in dealing with the
immediate problem OF an Irish set
Element. Any solution recommended
by the cabinet committee for that pur-
pose can be hurried through parlia-
ment and its real value tested by being
put into effect at once.
1t may be taken as a foregoe con-
clusion that no solution adopted on
this plan by the government will
please any part of Ireland; the most
that can be hoped is that the displeas-
ure will be shared with some sem
blance of equality by all parties. Irish
Americans will inevitably be disap-
pointed if they take their cue from
Sim Fem. If they had maintained
an independent attitude toward the
question or concentrated on a demand
for the maximum concession of inde-
pendence which any British govern
ment could fairly be expected to make,
their influence would have been much
more felt in these days. They could
factor in the settlement If they had
chosen to espouse dominion as sug-
gested to their leaders last winter by
Sir Horace Pl1nkett. Dominion rule
is being considered today among other
plans and while there is reason for be-
lieving that this would satisfy the
great majority of Sim Fein, the in
transigeance of their leaders in ire
land and America has rendered it diff
ficult IL not impossible for this desir-
able compromise to be negotiated.
Opportunities for such negotiations
may still present themselves and will
not be neglected by those who feel
that the only hope of an Irish peace
is an agreed settlement rather than
the imposed settlement which will be
the governments only alternative
failing negotiation.
Those in America who regard the
irish question mainly as an excuse,
and a good excuse, to malign England
will deride the idea of Sim Fem ac-
cepting any settlement short of SOW
ereign independence, which, in the
nature of things today, is impossible
except by successfully waging war
against the British government. But
for American agitators to encourage
gain independence by permitting
the Irish people to believe they can
themselves to be massacred is mon
strous and cowardly advice, which, if
followed, would simply result in
throwing the whole case definitely into
the hands of reactionary militarists.
They have dominated the situation
long enough and it is only thanks to
the Liberal element in the government
that their hold on the political stu
alton Is slackening.
English opinion wants no settle
ment imposed by force of arms. The
political genius of England and Lloyd
George is for compromise. The set
Element of the railway strike has given
added charm to the word negotiation
Compromise will assuredly rule the
government proposals, but Ireland
could have something better than a
mpronise made in the political dark
of LOWING street If some outside
opinion demanded negotiations.
