chairman Of the National Public
Works Association, Washington, D. c.
The referendum, which was taken by
478 organizations and prominent bus
mess men in As states, the District
Of Columbia, Hawaii, the Philippines
and Cuba, contained three propositions
regarding the plan, two Of which were
approved by the majority vote and by
the North Dakota societies. Each or
ganization cast as many votes as it
had delegates at the annual meeting
Of the chamber, not exceeding ten.
The national vote favored the estab-
lishment of the Public Works Depart
ment by the federal government by a
ballot of 1927 IL to 459 IL; it's estab-
lishment, by recognizing the depart
ment of the interior, changing it's
name and excluding from it all non-re-
lated bureaus and Offices, was also ap-
proved. The North Dakota Retail Mer-
chants Association. of Fargo, the
Jamestown Chamber Of Commerce and
the Commercial Club of Valley City
are also ready to support plan for
the creation of an entirely new de-
partment if necessary.

they are doing for the farmer is in

right. We wonder who is trying to
wreck the Bank of North Dakota.
After the lady had concluded her dis

Mr.. Bill Haywood in his talk to the

er day said that it would be well to
20 hand in hand with the nonpartisan
league as it more closely came up to
the ideals of the I. w. w. platform.
He said that in time the I. w. WIS
would take over the productive earn
ing property Of the state which in
cludes the farms. Do you farmers of
Barnes county want the I. w. w. folks
to grab off your farms. That is what
will happen if you give them more
rope by continuing in power the Town
ley regime in this state.
We are advised that telephone rates
are soon to be raised again in this

a raise in rates on electric light,

comes a request for raise of tele-
phone rates, (which will no doubt be
granted. Just at this time when
there is tendency for all kinds of
material to come down and general
slump on prices in view, we cannot see
the philosophy of the necessity for
the raise.

Mr.. Nye is one of the best newspaper
men and printers in the state, and the
people of Jamestown will have a real

certainly wish Bro. Nye all kinds of

from the fact that he has bought

Forty-eight prisoners at the state
penitentiary went on strike the other
day. They refused to 60 to work at
the going wages of 25c per day which
is allowed them by the state and
struck for 81 per day. The warden
very promptly put them in their cells
and since that has been feeding them
on a bread and water diet. We ex-
pect to see them continue this hunger
strike until they are guaranteed ham
and eggs and fried chicken as regu-
lar thing on the bill of fare. They do
not have bad time at the penitentiary
at that. They maintain baseball
club in which the lifers and murder
ers form big part, and during the
base ball season they run around the
country playing ball and having a
better time than those of us
who up to this time have been
fortunate enough to keep out of that
institution. A couple of weeks ago a
couple of tough ones belonging to
this institution stole the chief of po-
lice car at New Salem and beat it out
of the country. Life at our state penal
institution is not so bad after all.
Gov. Cox has discovered another
deep laid plot to keep him out of the
White House according to speech he
recently made in Oklahoma. The gov
ernor has a keen insight into the
future. This time he has made a
good guess-there is deep laid
scheme to keep him out of the White
House as president on the part of the
people. And from all Indications the
scheme is going to be success and
Gov. Cox is lending his full strength
personally to help along the scheme.
Cox, ever since he was nominated has
gone at it all wrong. He has gone
into this fight a good deal like one Of
the old time original cowboys would
go to town after the roundup to clean
up the town. He would ride, in to
place and commence shooting up the
place and trying to throw scare into
the people. So with Cox. He goes
out in the country and commences fir
ing at random, making all sorts of
charges against the republican party
and claiming that there is no good in
the old party that has made such a
wonderful record in the past. The
fact of the matter is that Cox is a
regular cave man and every day that
he goes out on the stump he has
faculty "of putting his foot in it."
Mr.. Harding on the contrary is going
about in quiet, dignifed manner,
putting forth his claims for the votes
of the people and from all Indications
available he is making a telling and
a winning campaign.

trash and rubbish, and painting and
a general cleanup has been the or

beginning of the week operated
somewhat against the progress OF
the work, but the citizens tackled
the job again at every opportunity
with the result that Paris will this
week take it's place in the ranks OF
the cleanliness is next to Godli-

taken care of and the cooperation

will be clean from one end to the
