We have no wars to boast of, thank Heaven, but we have a good, husky volcano in operation. Mount Lassen, in California, whose efforts have been rather lost sight of in the European upheavel, has been on the job for more than a month, blowing her head off. At last reports there has been more than two dozen erup- tions. Fortunately the peak is in a desolate region where there is no danger to cities or farms. It is out of the beaten path of tourist travel; but any tourist who wants a few genuine thrills without going abroad for them could do worse than visit this mad mountain and revel in a rare exhibition of fiery lava, ash clouds and belching smoke and steam. Some daring visitors re- cently tried to ascend to the crater, but found it hard walking in the hot ashes and crumbling pumice, and were driven back by volumes of sul- phureous gases. Cattle have .been suffocated around the base of the mountain, and vegetation has been destroyed for miles. It is not gen- erally realized that Uncle Sam has a ‘good supply of volcanoes. In Alaska there is Mount Shishaldim, which in power and splendor rivals Japan’s Fusiyama. There are 57 more or less active volcanoes in the Aleution Islands, and in Hawaii Kilauea and Mauna Loa are lava- sprouters that can hold their own with any in the world. Even Mount Hood and Mount Ranier, in our own northwest, still smoke a little occa- sionally and give Tacoma and Seattle new cause for pride. Mount Baker erfipted in 1843 and Tres Virgines, in .southern California, in....1857, whieh is but a little while ago, as voleanic lives are reckoned. It shguld be remembered, too, that the hot springs of the Yellowstone are evidence of lingering volcanic ac- tivity in what was once a hugh cra- ter. County Option. Contrary to the report that Wil- liam E. Lee has sidestepped county option, a statement has just been made by the republican nominee in which he reiterates his stand on the question. That he did come out straight and plain on the question is evidenced by the following from his Owatonna speech: “I believe in county option and that the people of any governmental unit should have the legal machinery provided for the expression of their will upon the liquor question. In addition to providing a county option law, I be- lieve in further reducing the power of the brewery in politics and curb- ing the sinister influence of the li- quor traffic by preventing brewery ownership of saloons or buildings oc- cupied by saloons, by enforcement of | laws prohibiting the sale of beer or liquor to any but legally licensed retailers, thus doing away with blind pigs and other illicit places whose existence depends upon the illegdl sale of liquor, and by such other legislation as may be neces- sary to destroy the power of the li- quor traffic.” KKK KRR KKK KKK X * EDITORIAL EXPLOSIONS * HEHH KK KE KKK KKK KKK Nine men out of ten if asked the cause of the war would be up a stump.—Martin County Sentinel. —— Don’t go right off and buy an au- tomobile because gasoline has drop- ped 2 cents a gallon. The worst is yet'to ecome.—Hubbard County Jour- nal. e “What will Candidate Hammond have to say on the county optiom | question?” is the thought upper- most in the minds of voters. Mr. Lee mreets the question squarely and Mr. Hdmmond’s friends declare that he is no side-stepper.—Fairmont Sentinel. | —— The damper has been put on poli- tics for some time, candidates have! been quite inactive in campaigning except that they have made them- selves noticeable at picnics, but now they are commencing to make their presence felt. Before long business places, telephone poles, signboards, will be decorated with these familiar faces. We look forward to a lively campaign, in the state as well as in the county.—Warren Sheaf. —— The Rines-Preus election contest has brought out the fact that some printers are ignorant of the proper manner in which to rotate names upon ballots, as required by. law. Some of the country papers are at- tempting to defend these printers on the ground that properly rotate the names. This is tommyrot. The perfect rotation of candidates on the ballots is a sim- ple process and can easily be worked out by any person with average in- telligence. * To contend that it can- not be done is to admit absolute ig- norance of the simplest form of ma- thematics.—More Times. WHAT CITY PLANNING IS. Both Utility and Beauty Should Be Kept -In Mind. In the scope of practical city plan ning are included the broadest prinvi ples and the fullest details, says Frauk Koester, consulting civic engineer. of New York city. The leading elements are the plan of the city as a whole, the segregation in suitable districts of the different classes of the population aud their proper housing in classes of struc tures suited to their requirements, the arrangement of such classes of strue- tures in groups #nd district units and the.placing of such groups and units in proper relation to the whole, the devel- opinent of other classes of units, such 1s civie centers, parks, public squares. zrounds, athletic and recreation nelds nd cemeteries, and their location with veference to their uses and nature; the supplying of the units with the facili ties and the public structures neces- sary for the business to be transucted In them. the location in civic centers of Luildings suited thereto both as to their uses and tbeir architectural char- acteristics, the arrangement of systems of transportation, the laying out of streams of traffie, location of railway statious and bridges and harbor facili- ties, the systematic location of schools, {ibraries, churches, hospitals, institu ticns, theaters and other semipublie structures; the general hyglenic design of buildings and the system of city sanitation and waste disposal, the lay- ing out of adjoining lands, woods and tields for purposes of recreation, the artistic regulation of structures and street plans and the laying out of sur- rounding territory. all in accordance with a settled plan adapted to fulfill in the best possible way the purposes in- ended. The planning of a city. like the plan- ing of aunything else. should be carried ut with a view to the use which is to e made of it and to « it best to hat use and in addition t e it as leasing from an artistic poi ¢ of view 18 possible. There shounld first be strength in the design. «rt if strength be economically manifeste 1 the artistic enrichment of the design will be easily effected. Among the new electric cigar lighters for automobilists is one en- closed in a watch case, which can be hung up by the ring. DECIDE YOURSELF| The Opportunity Is Here, Backed By Bemidji Testimony Dot take our word for it. Don’t depend on a stranger’s state- ment, Read Bemidji endorsement. Read the statements of Bemidji :itizens. And decide for yourself, Here is one case of it. Oliver Gordhamer, carpenter, 1200 Dewey Ave., Bemidji, Minn., says: “I was stiff and lame in the morn- ing and it hurt me to bring any strain on my back. I believe it was heavy lifting and hard work that brought on the trouble. I was han- dicapped in doing my work, espec- lally stooping or lifting. Reading about Doan’s Kidney Pills led me to try them. Three or four boxes strengthened my back and made me well. At that time I.gave a state- ment praising Doan’s Kidney Pills, and as I have had no trouble since, [ am still a strong friend to them.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Gordhamer had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffila, N. Y.—Adv. Remembér 7 the Blobs ?

This Form of Administration Is Be- coming More and More Popular. Taylor and Denton, Tex., have re- cently been added to those having the city manager plan. In Lakeland, Fla., the city managership was created by ordinance last spring under the general power over administrative’ organization conferred upon that town by its charter. The largest city which'bas thus far seriously considered this“plan is Seat- tle, Wash. [For some tifie a charter revision commission has been in ses- slon there, and It has recently brought forth the fruits of its activity. Unfor- tunately this body wandered somewhat afield from the typical form by making provision for a separately elected mayor. Upon this officer is conférred the responsibility for what in Seattle are called the humanitariau, cukural and general welfare departments, such as libraries, parks and playgroundy. amusements. housing. unemployment, municipal farms, efe.
