THIS HOME BUILDER

WINTER HAS ARRIVED

Most people believe that building
operations in Grand Forks can be
safely started only during the sum-
mer months. One local resident, how
ever, Is not Of that opinion. He Is
George Reed.
Mr.. Reed is at present having A

Riverside park. The foundation for
the new home was being laid just last
week and the remainder Of the work
is progressing as though birds were

flowers.
While 1t is not generally advised
that new structures be erected dur

out that much indoor repair work

In view Of the extensive paving OPP
erations carried out during the last
few months it is Of interest to learn
that petitions are being circulated for
the paving of additional streets.
No official notice has been given Of
the proposed improvements. How

residents on several thoroughfares are

that the work proposed is for Chest

streets. These streets are now paved
as far south as the middle of . the
blocks between Fourth m Fifth

for this paving to be extended south,

GOVERNOR HOOPER'S
APPOINTMENT.

President Hardings appointment
of former Governor Ben w. Hooper
as a member of the Federal Railroad
Labor Board will be gladly received
and warmly greeted in Tennessee by
members of both political parties.
1t is distinguished honor that
has been conferred upon this native
Tennessean, whose ability no one
who knows him questions, and whose
capacity to further distinguish him
self BY public service in his new re-
lation no one donbts.
location no one doubts.
Gov. Hooper served two stormy
when prohibition enforcement and the
of the "dry" laws were
the chief questions Of the day. He
handled it with great skill--with such
tact, in fact, that it was very diff
cult, after the issues upon which he
was elected had been solved, to return
a Democrat to Capitol Hill.
Since his retirement from state
politics he has served as chancellor of
his judicial circuit. In this capacity,
also, he has made good.
While differing from him politi-
cally, The Tennessean, with thous-
ands Of good citizens Of all parties
in this state, is glad to congratulate
him upon the merited honor that has
been bestowed upon him.-Nashville

A BITTER LESSON.

Failure of the United States Sem
ate to ratify the peace treaty and
the subsequent election of the Repub-
lican party into power, together with
the financial disaster that has been
brought upon us as an aftermath of
petty political malace and jealousy on
the part of the Republican leaders, it
seems to me ought to teach much
deluded people a lesson they will not
soon forget,
Had we entered the league of ma
tions and ratified the treaty when
President Wilson first returned from
Europe and presented it to the SEN
ate this financial crash would have
been averted. Because at that time
the whole civilized world was ready
to follow the leadership of Woodrow
Wilson, and America had it in her
power not only to be the moral leader
Of the world but the material leader
of new world fashioned in the
moulds of peace
The dominant countries of the
world and especially those that enter
ed the league of nations stood shoul-
der to shoulder ready and willing to
cooperate together and render the
necessary financial aid to war
stricken Europe to enable her to again
enter the channels of trade and COM
merce which is the life of the world
and we, of course, would have been
one of the largest beneficeries be-
cause it would have opened a market
for our much needed cotton and other
surplus that we ourselves cannot con-
sumo, whereas now we are the great
est sufferers. We have been impov-
ished and made bankrupt in a few
short months by an insanely jealous
party, who, though now crowned with
power seems to have neither program
or fixed policy. 1t offers no solution
or remedy for the propeling problems
for which it is responsible. 1t is clear
to be seen that they would be glad to
adopt Wilson's policy but they are
ashamed to do so now. And in order
to extracate themselves from redic-
ulous predicament and appease and
pacify their disappointed and deluded
followerers, they bring out the same
old tariff slop soured fifty years ago,
destined as usual to fleece the public
for the benefit of the poor, unprotect-
ed trusts and monopolies. This and a
bill to repeal the separate coach law
so that some people may have the
privilege of riding with the negroes
which seems to be the highest asper-
ations of Representative Madden of
Illinois. The latter bill as may have
been epected was met with opposi-
tion from every respectable man in
both parties, and in short the above
is about the bill Of fare dished out to
us so far.
Respectfully,
A. G. WINSLOW.

HEAVY DEATH TOLL

Storms of the nature of tornadoes

perhaps millions of dollars. Taking

of train near Laurel.
Alabama, five killed near Tuscum-
bia, three in Lamar county and one
in Dallas county. Ten injured at
Birmingham.
No loss of life reported in
Georgia, but there was much damage
at Rome, Ca, possibly $225,000.
Tennessee suffered loss of proper

Mississippi, the rainfall was heaviest
on record and in Tennessee, Alabama,

GOOD WORDS FOR
SPEAKER BOND

1t was source of satisfaction
when Speaker w. w. Bond, of
Brownsville, was elected to be speak
er of the Senate, and it is a pleasure
to state that with the record of the
Sixty-second General Assembly be-
fore us he lived up to the expecta-
tions of his warmest admirers.
His knowledge of Legislative pro-
cedure stood him in good stead upon
his elevation to the speakership.
There are none that can rightfully
accuse him of being unfair in his rul-
ings. Never were his decisions re-
yersed. And the tribute to his fair
ness, which this implies, may be more
accurately gauged when it is under
stood that before the session closed he
was the leader of one of two factions
which had developed in the Democrat
ic camp, the other of which had en-
tered into a bipartisan alliance with
the majority of the Republicans.
During the turmoil of the closing
days, Speaker Bond found it neces-
sary to advocate reform measures
from the floor of the Senate. Here
he proved himself to be power in de-
bate. There were few speeches of the
session, indeed, which can compare
with his xcoriations of the back-tax
machine which he delivered in a plea
for the passage of his own bill,
which would have destroyed the back
tax system, and again in his opposi-
tion to the iniquitous Chandler bill.
Speaker Bond represented all that
was clean and decent in the General
Assembly. His legislative record is
without a blemish. He gave himself
unsparingly to the task he had ac-
cepted. The influence which he WELD
ed was always for the good of Ten
nessee.-Nashvile Tennessean.
