the present system there are more Of
ficials during the day than actually
needed In order that the strain OF
counting ballots, etc, at night may be
divided among, many, yet at the clos
ing of the polls all the men are near
exhaustion, particularly since SO
many are men of advanced years.
Would it not be possible and prac-
tical, also economical, to divide he
force at the polls, those reporting
with the opening to carry through I'M
til the closing of the polls, others to
report at l P. NJ. to begin the counting
of the ballots or to replace those on
duty and have them later report at the
closing of the polls. If the former
complete returns would be available
an hour or two after the closing of
the polls and all officials would have
completed their labors within the
regulation day.
Your Committee prepared a Bill
that the States Attorney should be the
legal adviser without compensation
This Bill failed also. In our opinion
the passage of this measure would
have resulted in economy to the tax
payer without adding a burden to the
States Attorney.

BUSINESS FOR PROFIT

There has been quite a lot of loose
talk lately on the part of the more en-
thusiastic brain trusters concerning taking
the profit motive" out of business. If
that means anything, it must mean that in
future a man is supposed to go into bust
finding way TO kill time.
While it is true that in some instances
in the past profits have been too large, the
appalling number of business failures
which hive occurred do not indicate that
the man in business has had any advan-
tage over other classes of citizens. In fact,
he has taken greater risks and in many
cases has not only failed TO make a pro-
fit, but has lost what he had when he
went into business.
Whenever business men are denied
the opportunity to make a fair profit in
consideration of their investments, their
efforts and the risks they take, it is easy
to forecast what viii happen. More and
more capital will go into hiding, business
and industry will be further stagnated,
such payrOlls as We have now will be cur
tailed, and unemployment will increase.
There has been far too much med
ding with business and industry by gov
eminent bareauerats already. 1t Is time to
give legitimate business a rest and a
chance to work out its own salvation, free
from further official harassment.

COURT TEST OF MIRA

It IS expected that the eonstitutionality
of various phases of the National Indus
tElal Recovery Act viii shortly be decided
by the United States Supreme Court. and
in the interest Of everyone concerned such
= decision seems most desirable.
Several Federal judges have held
parts of the act to be unconstitutional. in
GLIDING Judges Alderman of Florida,
Vaaght of Oklahoma. and Grubb of Ala
bama- The first test viii probably come
on an appeal by the government from the
decision of Judge Grub. who declared in
substance that the whole act was uncon-
stitutional
The act itself provides that if any of
It's provisions are declared invalid. the re-
mainder of the act shall not be affected
thereby. For example. if the price-fixing
provisions were declared unconstitutional,
such a decision would not necessarily in
validate the labor provisions of the law,
and 50 on.
An early decision by the Supreme
Court is also desirable because the entire
act viii expire on June 10. 1885, unless re-
enacted by the new Congress, and the ad-
ministration desires to pass an act of a
more permanent nature al the Forthcoming
session.
1t IS believed that the new law TO be
proposed viii greatly modify and simplify
many of the complicated and ambiguous
provisions of the present one, especially
with respect TO the smaller business and
industrial units.
Recent dispatches indicate that the
Department of Justice will seek to have
the disputed points of uneonStitutionality
passed upon by the Supreme Court as early
as possible. through an appeal from Judge
Grubb's decision

MORE AND BETTER CHURCH

MORE AND BETTER CHURCH
GOERS
Wilton, N. D.,
Feb. 18th, 1894.
Editor, Tribune:
The recent article in the Peoples
Forum in regard to the church is q
timely challenge. 1t should stir up
every one interested to think over the
situation with q view to present con-
ditions and possibilities. The inter-
est Of the Tribune Is appreciated.
As to present conditions, though.
there IS some improvement in bust
ness, and this Is only going to be
temporary unless there is honesty
and cooperation. The moral condi-
ton looks bad. Prize fights, public
dances, beer advertisements do moth
ing to lift up morals.
The moving pictures, which could
be at least decent and q great source
Of education and respectable enter
tainment, are, many of them, low
erer and dissipater Of moral strength.
II q person travels on the train some
Of the women will get off to stand on

son may see every day and give .
small picture Of q slipping moral
standard.

churches. Some summer Sunday
