The newspaper boys of the state
vill extend deepest sympathy to Edi-
or w. G. Cushing, of Beach, and his
.amily, who have so recently been be-
reaved of wife and mother. Mrs.
Cushing passed away recently at Bis
marck after a long illness. The de-
ceased was we'll known club woman
of the state and has been identified
with newspaper work for many
years. Mr.. Cushing is one of the old
est newspaper men in point of service
in the state. ~., e,~ r
On Tuesday at Bismarck the people
voted on the proposition of issuing
thirty thousand dollars worth OF
bonds for an incinerator, added fire
equipment and a few other things
which in the opinion of majority OF
the people were unnecessary. The
Bismarck Tribune made clean fight
against the proposition, claiming that
the city was now taxed heavy enough
and that these added burdens were
not needed. The people of the capital
city thought the same way as the
Tribune and very decisively voted
against the bonds.
AS the fall season approaches and
the householder casts his eye down the
basement to take slant at the coal
bin and get it ready for filling in the
near future, the outlook is not one OF
optimism as regards lower prices
Press dispatches tell us that there will
be no drop in coal prices in the near
future and from all appearances the
railroads are not going to loosen the
already tight grip they have on high
freight rates, so that the consumer OF
coal can figure that it is going to cost
considerable money to fill up the fam
ily coal bin this winter.
The salary of the Minot Normal
school faculty has been promised
soon. This is for the June salary. We
presume the Valley City salaries will
be held up August first in order to let
the Minot bunch get their June sti-
pend. Several business men in Valley
City have bills against the state held
up for the past two months, yet the
league orators are waving their hands
in the air while talking to the farm
ers and telling them that all bills are
being paid. Don't you think condl-
ton of this kind should be stopped.
Sign those recall petitions and let US
at least put stop to any more fool
ishness.
Commander Evangeline Booth, head
Of the Salvation Army in the United
States, says that the country is facing
the worst winter industrially, it has
known in fifteen years: "1n New
York City alone" she declared yes
terday, 1--WE are receiving an average
of 800 registered applications a week
for regular employment. That is less
than one-third of the actual number
applying, because we do not register
the transient or unskilled men; nor
does it include the hundreds who come
to US daily for food and lodging. Of
the applicants for work today "a
were really professional men whose
credentials entitle them to good pay
ing positions.

The Courier News has nothing else
to kick about and falsify about so it
editorially says that the independent
press is opposed to the Farm Bureau
and other farmers grain movements.
It seems to be impossible for this sheet
70 lcll Clle III uCI Liz
has done as much service for the farm
bureau in giving it free publicity as
the Courier-News and has been heart
lily in sympathy with any movement
that will better the marketing condi-
lions of the farmer. We have failed
to see any independent paper knock
ing these movements. The only thing
they are knocking these days is the
incompetent wasteful state admins
tration, and goodness knows it needs
knocking clear out of sight. It has
been frost for North Dakota under
the leadership Of the present bunch OF
socialist admirers. Ii
