It is a divided Greece that enters the war. The provisional government that has usunped all constitutional powers ignores King Constantine, who leans toward the Teutons and has insisted upon strict neutrality. What the ultimate outcome will be of this declaration of war remains to | tbe seen. Does this disregard for mon- archy mean the establishment of a Greek republic?

The Non-partisan league's efficiency ‘and economy program will meet with very general approval. The state government too often has been creat- ed a job-making institution rather than an effective machine for the ad- ministration of the people’s public business. While North Dakota has been comparatively free from chair- ‘warmers, there are several instances, in ‘which the consolidation or com- ‘bination of conflicting departments will save money and at the same time promote greater efficiency. Argument is a whetstone for the knife of invention. THE NEW COUNTY SEAT. Now that Carson has been fortun- ate enough to win the much coveted county seatship of Grant, the Tribune knows the good people of the new county well enough to predict that. they will all pitch in with a will to aid Commissioners Thomson, McDow- all and Wade in the difficult. work which they have ahead of them. They are good fighters down there in Elgin, New Leipzig, Leith and Brisbane, and a good fighter is always a good loser. If two years hence it, shall Prove that the county seat is not suit- ably located, then will be time enough for a renewal of hoitilities. In the meantime, it is the duty of everyone to join forces, see to it that Grant receives all that is coming to it and that the list of county officers whom the commissioners are to appoint re- ceive the support to which they ure entitled. Love, like a violet, is often passed by in pursuit of the sunflower, suc- cess. “HEARD SUNDAY.” Helen Keller, world’s most famous blind and deaf woman, went to hear ; Billy Sunday, evangelist, who is now ‘ preaching in Boston. “The noisiest man I ever heard,” she said. “He is a monkey wrench _ thrown into the machinery of the s0- ‘cial revolution that is surely coming.\ “He is doing a lot of good, but not “in thie way he thinks he is. “He is preaching an old faith, but not heard from God in a long WHEAT SHOWS SLIGHT DECLINE Chicago, Nov. 25.

TO INVESTIGATE TERMINAL ELEVATORS UNTIL SESSION: COMMISSION MUST GO SOME The North Dakota 1 railroad commis- sion, has a man-sized job ahead of it, providing the amendment — repealing the mill tax for terniinal elevators has carried, which semi-official re- turns seem.to indicate. This amend- ment provides that the commission must investigate the location ‘of a terminal elevator, the cost of build- ing and obtaining sites, and submit a report of its findings to the next legis- lature. The commission has had no authority to incur expenses for this purpose prior to an official certifica- tion from the secretary of state of the passage of the amendment. The board has little more than a month in which to look into this weighty. proposition, make its findings and prepar@ its re- port to the Fifteenth legislative as- sembly, but the commission promises to “give the subject’ the earnest and conscienti»us investigation its im. portance deserves.” “Offerings he sets were reduced’ from‘ $85,000 ‘ta! $40,000, and its good will was’ entire- ly lost, for all of which he claims $50,- , 000:in damages from the defendants. The original action was brought in. the district court of Cass county, where Judge Pollock sustained a de- ; murrer of the defendants to the com- plaint. Murphy then appealed to the supreme court | whore it is now set: for hears at the December term. Murphy contends that the defend. ants, stockholders in the Medina state bank, agreed January 10, 1914, to ad: vance $20,000 needed by the institu- tion to tide it over and to accept as collateral for the loan unpledged bills of the bank. ‘This, he claims, they. failed to do when called upon; as a result, he alleges, the bank. was un- WANTS QUICK ACTION ON SUIT FOR $50,000 AGAINST GOV.
