Third: If the Board orders paving
we don't want We can file written pro-
test. If we do, a public hearing must
be granted by the. commission and
those protesting shall be heard with
their objections. It will take four out
of the five members Of the Board to
carry the paving ove such objections.
It isn't likely four out Of five men,
bers will vote in direct opposition to
the peoples expressed desires.
Fourth: If the Board acts irregu-
larly or fraudulently the court has q
right in a properly brought proceed
ing to enjoin the action of the Board.
In any event the Recall is always
at our hand ready for use if public
sentiment is really opposed to the &C
ton of the Commission.
Judge Buttz in his recent decision
did not hold that the Board could not
be enjoined under any circumstances
His holding was that until the Board
had taken definite action ordering in
the paving the Board had no power to
interfere. When the Board has order
ed in the paving then the Court has
power, if the action Of the Board has
been irregular or fraudulent, to enjoin
the order Of the Board.
For example, the Legislature may
be about to pass a law which is d.
rectly in violation Of the constitution,
The Courts have no power to inter
fere with the Legislature in passing
the law. But If the law is passed the
Court can step in and enjoin enforce
ment.
Then again, is it good policy to bind
the Board by the protest Of the prop.
erty owners only? Remember that
the socalled "Paving" Bill affected
not only paving but every other form
of public, improvements in cities, thus
giving to a few obstructing property
owners the power to block all city
improvements. Haven't the rest Of
the voters, who own no property, OF
who own property in other parts Of
the city than the particular one at
fected by a particular piece of paving
or other improvements, some right ?
In other words, hasn't the general pub
lie the right to force paving or Other
improvements for the general goot
even though opposed by propert!
owner in a particular district.
To illustrate: Suppose there arises
the question of paving the streets an,
avenues leading to the Fair Grounds
This might be considered by the gen
eral public as very necessary and de
sirable. Would it be right to ALLOW
a dozen property owners in that par
| ticular district in the southeast par
of town to block that necessary i'm
proyement? Wouldn't the larger in
~terests of the public be subserved, b,
overriding the objections of a few oh
structionists?
Let's not jump at conclusions with
out knowing the facts. Let's be fai
with each other and with other off
Gals. Let's not accuse each other 0
bad faith without knowing whereo
We speak. Let's get together an
pull together for a bigger, better, NOR
harmonious Devils Lake.
Respectfully,

Editor of The World: Please pub
fish the following: Answering Mr..
Traynor's article in the Journal of
last week in which he so ably de-
tends himself from your limitations
of his connections with a fight against
the Stevens bill introduced in the
state legislature which would give
the people a right to forestall paving
operations unless the majority of the
people wished it. Permit me to say:
Mr.. Traynor, I believe, is honest
in his intentions, tho perhaps some
what MISUNDERSTANDING. Why should
not the majority of the people in any
given district have the right to stop
pavement, unless in an area where
it was for the public's good generally
then why shouldn't the public in
general stand the expense and not
the adjoining taxpayers to the propos-
ed paving district be charged up with
the entire costs. If that is proper,
it is o. K.
Mr.. Traynor speaks of the unlikeli-
hood of the commission being unani-
nous on paving bills in spite of neigh
borhood opposition-Well, MI. Tray
nor, why not have law protecting
them against even the possibility Of
a boughten commission.
Ask MI. Traynor, what good a re-
call election would do after the dam
age was done-and we have to pay
the bills?
I say, Lets be fair, as The World
has oftentimes suggested, but amend
our laws so that the commission can
not do any paving without q public
,lapproval, So thsgs could moi. do othe.
but strictly conduct the city business
without public approval for any maj
or city investments-as they did in
the last seasons pavement. As ! un-

CantaiOupes Grown
In Imperial VaIler

San FRANCISCO, Nov. 9.-More than
100000 cantaloupcs-enough 10
furnish every resident of the United
States for a melon and half for
breakfast-were raised in the I'M
perial Valley of Southern Californ a
Fruit Express Company.
Land on which the melons were
raised not so many years ago was
desert. Now more than 400 miles
Of irrigation canals carry water from
the Colorado river to Imperial Valley
farms. The valley is located not far
from the lowest land depression in
the world.
In all, $4,000 carloads of canta-
loupcs were shipped from Impcria
Valley points this year to Pacific
coast and eastern markets. All wen,
out in refrigerator cars, big ice man
ufacturing plants being operated at
Brawley and FL Centre, valley points
70 stock the cars.
An attempt is to be made this win
ter in the Imperial Valley TO produce
Christmas melons, the valley II years
ago having sent out the first melons
ever produced in the country during
the holiday season outside of hot-
house.
The first Christmas melons were
raised during a frostless winter anf
predictions have been made that tn
1921-22 winter will be frostless. Act
ing on the predictions many farmers
have planted winter melons, hoping
to realize a golden harvest.

HEART OF BRITAIN
.4 FOR CONFERENCE

Washington, Nov. 9.-While the
delegates of the powers were quietly
at work today perfecting their plans
for the armament conference, cheer
ing assurances of support for the pur-
poses of the negotiations reached
Washington from two important
quarters of the old world.
: David Lloyd George, the British
premier, in message expressing re-
gret that he could not attend the op-
ening session on Saturday, declared
the heart of Great Britain was "deep-
ly set upon the success of the confer
ence," and promised the diligent eff
forts of the United Kingdom toward
solution of the problem of arma-
ments. At the same time it became
known through unofficial channels
that Pope Benedict had given his ar
proval of the purposes set for the con-
ference and might pronounce the of
fetal sanction of the hly sec at the
consistory of November 81. He has
prepared to maintain close scontact
with the negotiations as they develop
The certainty of support by two
such powerful forces struck note of
encouragement in all the delegations
as they conferred among themselves
on The work ahead. For the most part
these conferences produced no sur
face developments of Importance, al
though they brought together for the
first time the full membership of the
American delegation and it's advisory
committee and gave the representa-
tives of other powers, occupied hith-
erto with succession of ceremonial
visits, breathing space in which to
review their plans in the light of their
experiences on American soil.

Zimmerman in Jail

York, No% %s9.-Abert Zimmerman,
"a years of age, held responsible by
the coroner's jury for the killing of
Pink Hudgins, whose dead body was
found by the roadside near his home
Monday morning, was arrested in
Shelby, N. c., last evening and lodged
in the York county Jail last night.
Zimmerman evidently went direct
from York to Shelby, where he had re-
Gently been employed. He was making
preparations to leave chat town when
arrested, it is said. He waived extra
dition papers. Zimmerman refuses to
discuss the Hudgins killing.
Mrs. Effie Hudgins, wife of the dead
man, was committed to Jail Tuesday,
charged with completely in the kill
ing. Evidence brought out at the
inquest tended to show that domestic
troubles led to the tragedy.

Unemployment
To Be Discussed

London, Nov. 10.-The session Of
parliament whic convened in Febru-
ary was proroged by Roaly Com
mission after brief authomin sit
ting following the August adjourn
ment to consider the unemployment.
Several members, who are apprehen-
sive over the Irish situation, asked
the government to allow another ad-
journment instead of definite clos
ing to permit quick reconvening, but
Austen Chamberlain, the government
leader in the house of commons, de-
clared nothing stood in the way of
proroguing.

UNKNOWN SOLDIER
RESTS AT CAPITOL

Washington, Nov. GA plain sol
dier, unknown but weighted with hon
ors as perhaps no American before
him because he died for the flag in
France, lay tonight in a place where
only martyred presidents, Lincoln,
Garfield and Mckinley, have slept in
death.
He kept lonely vigil lying in state
under the vast, shadowy dome of the
capitol. Only the motionless figures
of five armed comraces, one at the
head and one facing inward at each
corner of the bier, kept watch with
him.
But far above, towering from the
great bulk of the dome, the bro oding
figure of freedom watched, too, as
thought it said "Well done" to th2 ser
want, faithfufunto death, asleep there
IN the vast dim chamber below.
Americas unknown dead is home
from France at last and the nation
has no honor too great for him. In
him it pays it's unstinted tribute Of
price and glory to all those sleeping
in the fair soil of France. 1t was
their home coming today; their day
of days in the heart of the nation
and they must have known il for
the heart beat of nation defies the
laws of space, even of eternity.
Sodden skies and gray, creeping
chilling rain all through the day
seemed to mark the mourning of this
American soil and air at the bier
of this unknown hero. But no jot of
the full need of honor was denied
the dead on that account. From the
highest officials of this democratic
government to the last soldier or ma
rine or bluejacket, rain and cold
meant nothing beside the desire to do
honor to the dead.
An endless procession moved
through the rotunda of the capitol to
honor the unknown dead lying in state
where only the martyred president
have rested, the spokesmen for the
American groups and for the world
powers are free to place floral offer
ings on the bier and. heaped tributes
which are growing higher, spreading
about the vast chamber through the
day. Flowers from France and South
Africa, 5000 miles away, are among
the tributes. The British embassy
arranged the parade, headed by
sA.thur- L Ralfour. chief of the anna
'ment delegation with two motor
trucks filled with flowers, including a
wreath from King George.

DEMOCRATS GAIN
FOUR STATES

New York, Nov. 9.-Final summa-
rization tonight OF results of yester-
days "off year" elections throughout
the country indicated substantial
gains for the Democrats in four states
maryland, Kentucky, Virginia and
New Worthwhile municipal ballots in
many cities resulted in changes of
party control.
The outstanding case of statewide
Democratic victory was in Kentucky
where that party regained control Of
the Legislature, which has been Re
publican for two years. In Maryland
where the entire lower house was
elected, with 81 members of the ser
ate, Democratic control increased.
In Virginia the Democratic guber-
natioral candidate, State Senator f.
Lee Trinkle, led his Republican oppo-
nent by wide margin, which eX-
tended also TO his running mates, in
cluding j. Murray Hooker, the party's
candidate for representative in con-
gress.
In the New York assembly the
Democrats increased their representa-
tion by % seats, although the Re
publicans, with a total of sc assem-
blymen, still retain a wide wo- king
margin.
Albany, long regarded as tn
stronghold of Republicanism in thi,
state will have a Democratic admi0
istration for the first time in % yeas
The Democrats elected their mayoral-
ty candidate, w. S. Hackett, and
seized every other berth in the city
administration balloten on, including
a large majority of the 19 aldermanic
seats.
Detroit reelected Mayor James Cou-
sens, whose campaign was waged on
a platform calling for municipal trac-
tion ownership, while Cleveland gave
Fred Kohler a substantial plurality
over Mayor William S. Fitzgerald
(Republican) and voted to change to
city manager plan of government
in 1924.
1t was Kohler who, when dismissed
as chief of police by Newton D. Ba-
kcr, then mayor, told his friends he
would some day vindicate himself by
being elected head of the city govern
ment. He conducted his campaign
without making a speech, Cleveland
is said toebs1 the largest. city. which
has adopted the city manager plan.
Republican mayors were elected in
