Tired of 1t

(St. Paul Dispatch)
Probably the best description of the attitude Of
the rank and file of the Nonpartisan league in
North Dakota, and of that cf the people generally
was that made by j. A. Gray, delegate from Ran
som county, and the radical candidate fer chairman
Of the convention at Bismarck last Thursday He
is credited with telling the conventions:
"The people are sick and tired of this
hubbub Of running around, heapng abuse u
upon people, and stirring up trouble"
After ten years CT it, beginning with denuncia-
ton of big Biz descending naturally to an assault
upon all men, not actual farmers, as enemies of the
farmer taking in those who dared to differ from
the dictates Of Towney and at last coming home to
roost and ending with fierce denunicaton of each
other, the Nonpartisan leaguers seemed to have
developed a political method into habit. But
even they have grown weary Of it. While Jack
Pfeifer Of Dickinson, Roy w. Frazier Of Crosby,
Dell Patterson Of Donnybrcok, prominent in league
counsel. were howled down with cries Of Throw
him out" "Choke him oft" or were ruled "Cut Of
order" by the chairman, Gray was permitted to
voice his sentiments uninterrupted and with indica
tfons Of approval from the convention Any man
who knows what league conventions have been since
1915, knows what that means.

Telegraph Co. To transmit voice
across to Europe it has been found
that the submarine cable would be
too expensive. Radio offered the best
and most practicable means, but the
Bell System engineers needed certain
patents held by the Radio Corpora
ton of America, and so the transfer
came about. It means an impetus for
the long-distance telephone service.
Time Difference Problem.
There are, of course, many other
difficulties to be solved. For instance,
the difference in time means that only
about two hours Of the business day
in New York. namely, to IL in the
morning, would correspond to the last
two hours, namely, 2 to o'clock in
London. The American business man
has been educated to do a good deal
Of telephoning at night. but the Briton
has not. And to get the Englishman
at his Office at 10 O'Clock in the morn
ing would require a call on this side
of the Atlantic at 5 o'clock in the
morning. Much of the telephoning,
therefore, would be concentrated at
certain hours. probably from s to IL
am. on this side of the ocean, and
from l to pm. in London, all of
which means the building Of adequate
facilities before a service can really
be offered as practical. Far from be-
ing a monopoly in the general sense
of the word, the movement is one of
scientific development by the use of
patents which the Government itself
has granted exclusively.

The District is trying out a new
method Of collecting garbage. Port

large quantities to the disposal plant,
thereby saving the collecting trucks
time lost in hauling. However, Engi-

doubt today that the system would be
adopted.
Admitting that the new method
