THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) Ra a HIGH COST OF INVESTIGATION Practically the same ground as was travelled in the other cases of the City against the Bis- | marck Water company is being gone over again before the members of the Railroad Commission. Whether the decision is favorable or adverse to the city, an appeal tothe courts doubtless will be made. This jwill, mean more, attorney fees and freshviplunden fori: theoutility “experts” at $35 a day: “anit! engtises| and" probably more. wOnee the case gets: into. the courts, it may hang fire’, for a year or so or probably five years and many: people who are now drinking Missouri | water at the present price and quality will be beg- ging:a drep in some other realm before any of the objectives ‘theigity has started out to reach have béen realiaddba9.: 8 e pHEviodS Ate hearings’ tisve cost the tax- payers ‘of Bismarck some $11,664.00. Under the ruling of the railroad commission there is assess- able against the water consumers some $23,850 expended in the various phases of the litigation by the Bismarck Water Supply company. To date then without any charges being assess- ed for pending litigation in courts, for the present hearing and for what litigation may follow, there faces the taxpayers and water consumers of Bis- marck some $35,515, enough probably to have built a good clarification plant and much needed main extensions. The city has employed an “expert” i in this case} at a cost of $35 a day and expenses: The records | show that this man not many moons.ago was a bookkeeper for the St. Paul Water company at a salary of $205 a month. His own testimeny on the stand Monday was to the effect. that. he was | not even a chartered accountant, nor an engineer familiar with utility matters. | w ‘ There can be no criticism oft/ :theicity; Conithis- sion employing the best talent to defend the in- terests of the city. But if the.city had expended this $11,664.00’ on. experts ,who. are.’ qualified in utility matters doubtless some progress would have been made. To date there is nothing to show but, a series of reversals and pending cases of doubtful, merit, ‘ Ay There is an * almost unanimous demand among the taxpayers ‘and the water consumers to acquire the water. plant, but the expense piled up to date| in futile litigation has cooled -their ardor, and dampened their enthusiasm. > The city started out to acquire the plant oy | eminent domain.

Most of these: fases were | started not to secure lower water rates a better quality of water for Bismarck,. but as Hat and; spite. measures instigated largely because.of political grievances (or factional strife | a the two major utilities—a ‘controyersy mhich is of common knowledge and for which the payers and water consumers are paying dear-| and will continue to pay mich more’before the falc chapter is writtenpunless a halt is called.

AN IDEAL CONVENTION CITY Bismarck will be host in the near future to two | conventions, the Christian Endeavor and Feder- ation of Labor. Both of them are most important in their respective fields and everything should | be done to make the visit of the delegates here most enjoyable and profitable. *’ The Capital City has not put forth the right effort to secure conventions because it is poorly organized to do so. It fails before the efficient | organizations of other cities whose civic bodies are keenly alert to the advantages of securing as many of these meetings as possible. .. That the city is able to entertain these import-| ant organizations is due solely to personal effort on the part of certain interested people and to them alone is credit due. i Bismarck will extend a hearty: welcome’to the | delegates of the Christian Endeavor, a society | ‘which has done great good among the young peo- ‘ple of the land. Such an organization is needed | More. especially now when the hold on certain ‘fundamentals of right living is‘not as firm as it | was a decade ago, “ithe speed of autombbiles to 12 miles an ‘hour at " lheghtive pole, brain the positive. g toward arbitration and the purchase | (A more crucial time never faced organized labor whose representatives also gather here in the near future. Labor is going through turbu- lent times in adjustments that are necessary in the struggle back to normalcy. The discussions of this body have a special significance in view of the industrial unrest that lis evident in many of the large centers. This has only a reflex influence on labor conditions in North Dakota. In this state the problem of un- employment is not acute. With the exception of the coal strike and the fight being made upon the closed shop by the printing industry, North Dakota’s labor situation is in excellent shape. Minimum wage conferences held’ recently passed off harmoniously and there is nearly everywhere in all but two industries, an earnest effort to compose differences and to work together in these times of adjustment. Bismarck is glad to welcome the delegates of these various organizations and aid in making their gatherings a-great success. Every effort should be put forth to make Bismarck the banner convention city of the state. Its hotel facilities are second to none and there are so many points of interest that this city should not find it hard to secure double the conventions it does each year. TRAFFIC REGULATION It usually takes a fatality to bring home the ‘necessity of regulating the automobile traffic. A’ new. ordinance has just been passed restricting street intersections and twenty miles an hour ‘elsewhere. But what is as important is the restriction of the operation of automobiles to experienced and licensed drivers. Persons under eighteen years of age as a rule lack the judgment necessary in lemergencies.: In spite of all that parents can do, children will wander into the streets. It takes a level head to operate cars in cities where police regulations are not strictly enforced. The deepest sympathy of the community goes out to the stricken parents and the lesson deplor- able as it is, should serve to strengthen the en- forcement of traffic regulations. Children under sixteen should not be allowed to operate cars in the city limits and there should be some system of licensing drivers. On the other hand steps |should be taken to Prevent the use of the streets \as, play grounds... Auto drivers complain that in some districts istreets are being used as baseball diamonds. A traffic officer could easily aid in preventing the improper use of the streets. Tf the ordinance permits children of sixteen to |drive cars, the age limit is not high enough. Upon lofficer in the city whose duty during the summer months should be to minimize the charges of such accidents as that of Tuesday evening. A DRY CELL et World- famous Dr. George W. Crile, who ‘oper- jates as skillfully with one hand as the other, co \pares the human body to a dry cell, with !iver the m- Anything that affects the liver will also attect the brain, says Crile.

They are presen || favorder that our readers may have both sides of important iaeuee which are being discussed in the press of the day. WOMAN’S RIGHT TO HER NAME Mrs. Peter Olesen, Demotratie candidate for |United. States. senator from Minnesota, has a \grievance that will startle the members of the Lucy Stone league. These women insist on the iright of a.woman ta keep her maiden name after tharriage and use it freely in her public, private, jliterary or business life. Recently they demand- ed passports for married women going abroad made out in their maiden names and felt aggrieved quest could not be complied with without intoler- able confusion and misunderstanding overseas. Mrs. Olesen’s grievance is the reverse. The state attcrney general with not let her use her {married name, or rather, her husband’s Christian name with “Mrs.” prefixed, on the ballot. She \has won a name for herself under her married iname. Peter Olesen may not be known all over |the state of Minnescta, but Mrs. Peter Olesen is. (That particular form of designation is her politi- ‘cal trade-mark, her capital, so to speak. The courts say she must go before the voters as Annie Dickie Olesen, a collocation of. words with which the voters are not familiar and under which they| * |may have difficulty in recognizing an old acquain- tance. She must advertise herself all over again. Perhaps the Lucy Stonite will rebuke Mrs. Ole- isen for objecting to her own and demanding her| husband’s Christian name, on the ground that it| jis unworthy of modern “enlightened” women. | |But the average run of citizens will be inclined to! criticise the regulations ‘which prevent a candi-| \date for office from using any legitimate form of } ‘name by which he or she is best known to the vot-| The chief principle involved seems to be the jeternal war on red tape.

K. Ziegfeld production, \“The Black Panther’s Cub,” starring Florence Reed, which is based’ on Swinburne’s immortal poem, “Faus- tine,” is heralded as a_ production which cost to produce more than really big productions to be made in the East, and is accepted as concrete proof of the recent statement by sev- ;3xral big producers that it is no longer necessary to go to California to make good pictures. “The Black Panther’s Cub” was mude at W. K. Ziegfeld’s big Fort Lee studios in New Jersey. ‘All of the in- terior scenes: were made under arti- ficial lights, which enables a director ‘o.obtain many effects that. are not yssible to get under natural light. The exterior scenes were also made in the East.

ADVENTURE OF | THE TWINS | WINS: By Olive Barton Roberts “What do you wish me to do?” ask- ed King Verdo when Nick had explain- ed all about everything, “How can we tind out-whether this fellow, King In- dig of the Diddyewvers, is handsomer ‘than I am? But personally I can’t imagine anyone thinking that blue hair is good looking when there is someone around with a ldvely long green beard like mine.” “Longhead the Wiseman has cided,” said Nick. “What did he decide?” asked Ver- do, quickly. “No one knows,” answered Nick. “It’s in a magic phonograph record that Nancy and I found. “Well, where’s the. record?” “It’s back in King .Jndjg’s: palace,” Nick told him. “We can’t: play. it for| we haven’t got the right needle to put on the phonograph.” “Where's the needle?” asked King Verdo. “It’s in the third peg in the heel of jyour left shoe!” said Nick. | “Well, I declare!” chuckled King !Verdo, “IT never heard anything so jastonishing in my life. The third, meg in the left heelof my—. Let’s see!” And he hauledigup ihis foat, Pver vhis knee to look. o% “Why it’s gone!” he cried. “There's nothing but a hole.” Nancy’s sharp eyes saw something. She pointed to the lump of mud King Verdo had scraped off. “There it is,” she cried. “It’s sticking in that.” ‘ Just then the lump of mud start- ed to roll away. = “No, you don’t!” cried King Verdo, grabbing it and putting the peg in his pocket. “Now what do you suppose that mud was running off for?” “tl must be Twelve Toes, the Sorc- erer, again,” said ‘Nick. “He doesn’t }want you or King Indig to marry Princess Thermo, He wants her him- self, He’s tried to stop us every way he could.” “The villain!”” shouted King Verdo. “He can’t practice his magic here. Let's be gone. We'll go to the Land of the Diddyevvers at once aNd find out all about everything.” (To Be Continued) \ (Copyright, 1922, NEA Service) de- . THE WOMAN OF POISE. ‘Once a rarity, is now to be observ- ed and admired upon every hand. In- de2d, no other woman can flourish long in the midst of this modern, com- plicated life. In the home, in busi- ness, in social life, the woman who is. sorene and confident wins, while the nervous, flustered individual wastes her talents and gets nowhere, Of course, poise is dependent mainly up- on sound health and steady nerves.
