XEAROLD J. DANE, Editor. The Gas Franchise. The attitude.of certain members of the council on the gas question last|= night bodes ill for the people who are looking for a cheaper way in which to heat and light their homes. To these people, together with the bus- iness men who want cheap fuel, light, and power it is not a question of “gas or no gas” but a question of franchise terms. The eagerness with which the gas petitions are being signed .and the unanimity of opinien that the city is ready for gas, cannot help but be a gulde. to. the council- men of what the people want. Their attitude must be that of servants who are to protect the city by getting the best terms possible. Bemidji wants gas, is ready for it and the question is of franchise terms only. To a layman, the contract offered by Mr. Collins and his associates ap- pears to be one of the best ever sub- mitted to a municipality this size. In offering to pay the city a gross earn- ings tax, they recognize the fact that in granting the franchise the city is giving over to them one of its inher- ent rights and that a fair recompense is just. In submitting to adequate regulation, in allowing the city to buy the plant at any time, and in sev- eral other progressive provisions, the contract offered is far ahead of those in eftect in St. Paul and Minneapolis. If after inspection by good lawyers, the council finds the franchise sound and hole proof, there appears to be at this time no good reason why the city cannot be burning gas by Christ- mas, Steenerson to the Front. Halvor Steenerson, congressman from the Ninth, has come to the front with a bill which will allow home- steaders to get patent to their lands without residence if the lands are subjéct to drainage. The introduction of the bill comes as the result of agi- tation from Bemidjf and other North- ern Minnesota points. If the bill is passed, it will do away with all ques- tion as to the proper interpretation of the Volstad act. The bill will come |8 up at the next session. A Republican Tariff* Bill. The Republicans of the house have not fully decided whether to present a complete tariff bill as a substitute for the Underwood bill. Mr. Mann, their leader, and Mr. Payne, their tariff au- thority, favor such a Fordney, of Michigan, and standpatters ,oppose it on the ground that, if a bill is prepared now, it may come back to plague the party, when it returns to power. This is well enough from a stra- tegic viewpoint, but how' will affect the return to power of the party, to have no up-to-date views on the sub- ject of the tariffi? Will the people en- trust the Republican party with an- other chance at the tariff, when they put nothing before them as Republic- an doctrine but the example of the last tariff, namely the Payne-Aldrich law? The people will probably want to know in advance whether the Re- publicans have learned anything about revision downward. Mr. Ford- ney is evidently consumed by a great fear that in their present state of mind the Republicans may concede something to low duties. ~Does he think he can re-enact the Payne- Aldrich bill ' while the people are 100k- ing? Mr. Payne has abaridoned this atti- tude. He has examined the newest draft of a Republi¢an wool bill and approves of it. The duties are equiva- lent to seven per cent on cleaned ‘wool or twice that on unscoured wool. course.” Mr. other “These duties are ot excessive.

Palace of Agriculture, are moderate, but they recognize the principle of - protection. Mr. Ford- ney evidently doesn’t want to be moderate. ~He wants. the Republi- cans to'lay low-in-the hope that the Democratic tarift will fail, ‘and then to come along with ‘a claim that they have a mandate to hoist the duties high. This is the way to settle the tariff and_ get it.out of politics and busi- ness of the country. The public de- mands lower wool duties. The De- mocrats have responded by removing them " entirely. = The Republicans could well afford to state moderate proctectionist views in a bill. In this way the party could get past the. Payne-Aldrich law and begin a .new deal while still in opposition. It will be much easier for. the Re- publicans to take a low protective tariff view now than when they come back into power. What Mr. Fordney and a few standpatters want to avoid, namely, the expression of concrete | views on the tariff, is exactly what the Republicans ought to accomplish while they are in the minority.—Min- neapolis Journal.

Dr. Henry Skinner, lecturing at the Academy of Natural Sclences in New York, averred that he would rather have a rattlesnake in his kitchen than one common housefly. - Few house- bolders’ will agree with this statement. Doubtless it was made to emphasize the Intensity of the speaker’s abhor- rence of the buzzing pest which will soon begin to dispense his exquisite torments in dwelling. rooms unless means are adopted to repel the winged invader. The torture, however, is the least of. woes The perils our. eyes do not see are immeasurably greater than -the sting that irritates the nerves and spoils the temper. Flies thrive upon garbage. ~ Every trace of refuse should be promptly re- moved from the neighborhood of a dwelling and scraps of food" burned or disposed of otherwise than by standing them in some pail. The filth so caught up and transferred by the flles is a source of grave danger and a prolific cause of sickness.. Nobody would en- dure the sight of the busy fly did he realize what its flitting really imports. abroad, "Swat the fly.” To a large extent this wise counsel has been heed- ed. But now is the time to watch for the hatching of these small yet per- sistent enemies. Careful attention paid to the maxims of cleanliness will alike minister to the comfort of the house- bold' and subdue a nuisance which is one of ‘the drawbacks of the summer season. The housefly should have no encouragement. e x * x 7 K % NORTHERN GROCERY X x COMPANY * x * * S x x % cesssssevssas g % * WHOLESALE . ¥ x e GROCERS * % L el eaten et i * : x R IIIIAIIIIIRIK T R S ] Get Your « HOUSPHOLD.
