Dusseldarf an Example of a Progressive Municipality. When we say that a cffy Is well gov erned we mean simply that the streets are in goed condition as to paving. rleaning and lighting; that the service of the water, fire and police depart- ments is satisfactory: that there is Iit- tle or no graft at the ¢ity ball: that the officials-are both eflicient and honest: that well mapaged schools. hospitals nnd parks abound: that the tax rate is low and that the tazpayers get the worth of theii mony, All this Is included In the Germmn Idea of a well governed city all this and very much more The German expects all the things which an Amer ican expects from bis city. but he also wants the municipality to provide elec tric car service, snpply many of the Always alive to usher forth the greatness of Duluth, the News-Trib- une of that city yesterday published a booster edition which is a dandy. The issue contained a story of the Zenith City’s growth, its advantages as a manufacturing and shipping center, its climate, its ideal fitness as a place of residence and its many other resources which are rapidly making it one of the nation’s most important cities Never before has the Lake Boule- vard heen visited by as many grey squirrels as is now the case. In many cities the parks are stocked with these pretty little animals and they are protected by the officials and citizens. These squirrels soon be- come tame and the pets of many. In past years young boys of Bemidji have taken delight in shooting the squirrels with sling-shots. Let's join the ranks of the other cities and help increase rather than decrease the number of these playful little creat- ures. Parents should warn their children to let them remain un- harmed. Their County Option Views. The vest method of dealing with the liquor question is about the only issue between Candidates Lee and Hammond, and upon this point each of the gubernatorial aspirants seem to have made himself clear. Both pledge themselves to sign a county option law. if the legislature shall en- act one, both asserting that such an event may be taken to carry the ex- presaion of the wish of the people. But after that declaration the can- didates part company, says the St. Paul Dispatch. Mr. Lee favors county option. He is on record with the belief that the county option plan is the best regu- lative method. Mr. Hammond is not- convinced that .county option is the best and fairest way to handle the liquor ques- tion, but seems open-minded on the subject. While in sympathy with the purpose of reducing the liquor evil and controlling the. traffic, he doubts the equality and effectiveness of the county option plan as a rem- edy. As a matter of fact, the state elec- tion will be influenced, to a large extent, by this very question, be- cause it is the only issue. The legis- lature, not the governor, must de- cide it, and the views of the execu- tive are important principally as in- dicating a state of mind. But it is just as well to know where each can- didate stands.
