There is a tide in the affairs of cities as well as of men if taken at the flood leads on to great achievement. Within the last few months this city has had a new vision. It has been taking stock of it things i Ke to accomplish if Bismarck is to grow and become the t city its position and territory warrant, Selfish interests must be put aside. Men who scheme merely for their own profit cannot assume the leade which must direct the future development of this city. Issues long delayed in settlement must be solved for the best interests of all the people not to preserve private exploiter who seek to continue excessive profits at the expense of the |, industrial and social welfare of the entire city. There must be a speedy settlement of the water works problem. Th who ¢ inclined to keep this controversy stirred up for political reasons should receive no conside: tion at the hands of the people interested in the future of 3ismarck, Whether this city builds a new plant or purchases the present one, an election must be held in any event to give the city commission the necessary authority to provide for Bismarck a water supply adequate in quality and «quantity. No city can beautify itself without a city controlled water supply. The people are not so concertied with the cost. Other elements govern in improvements of this kind — healtir of the people, water at reasonable cost to the salaried house- holder who desires to improve his property and till garden plots. Bismarck will become an attractive place and in- crease in population only as it provides facilities as do other | cities with which it is in competition. Bismarck is on record for a city owned plant and the spirit of the city will stand for no cheap political by-play to defeat this end hands of the commission and handicap its membe settlement of this grave controversy. Other utilit s who see seme of their interests affected in the acquisition of the water utility are becoming very active now that a definite move is being made. The water issue has been a in the Ane smoke screen for them, but the direction in which the ion is headed now, provided no one rocks the boat, commi promises to get results and the voters should support the commission. Their action is in line with the new spirit that prevails here and has been reflected recently in so many undertakings for the upbuilding of Bismarck. The Tribune will discuss the issues involved in the ap- proaching bond issue from time to time. It is going to cost | something to build here a city that will fill the needs of the | people and-attract settlers to th ction of the state. Bi marck can not continue to be without its own water work: parks, and other features that make a city grow and prosper. LET’S GO. MR. TOWNLEY MAY CHUCKLE A. C. Townley ought to be qualified to write extensively on the ups and downs of a political leader and the ficklenes: of protagonists, when he retires from the arena of publi life. He has been idolized, and he has been “cussed” ass roundly, perhaps, as. any political figure that rose to heights in the Northwest. It probably is no surprise to Mr. Townley to find many in ‘his own ranks now calling him harsh names. He need only turn the pages of history to find that often the most severe traducers of political leaders are persons once asso. ciated with the leader. He may, of course, feel the human resentment that men whom he led from obscurtiy to bask in the political limelight and some into more material com- eae | ment, w fort than they had hoped to enjoy, now r to smite him. But he doubtless finds that there are compensations even | in the darkest times of a political leader. He ought to get 2 ¢huckle—perhaps a hearty laugh—out of the remarks now being made by some who have condemned him so ‘roundly through the last several years. For example he may read in the Valley City Times- Record, which has called Mr. Townley perhaps as harsh names as Mr. Townley has called others, that “Mr. Townley talks very rationally now and is moving along lines that are going to win support,” and further from the same newspaper ; that “Now he has a great vision, and it is a good one, but whether or not he can pull it off is another thing.” Phe Fargo Tribune, which succeeded the Courier-News but not ordinarily in tone of expression, remarks that “If Mr. Townley can do something toward getting more co-opera- tion between the man on the farm and the man in town— More power to him. He will be a mighty benefactor to the state of Nérth Dakota.” ~ And the Jamestown Alert say “No one can do more to secure co-operation between the farmers and business men than Mr. Townley.” Doubtless Mr. Townley must be amused to find himself put forward as a potential Moses for North Dakota under a second “New Day” by those who once denounced him. How quickly the panorama of political activity brings new scenes before the eve. A few years ago Mr. Townley urged the state to go into the milling business. And M. Townley was roundly assailed. Now Mr. Townley sees no hope for the state in the milling business. But many of his formér traducers are very strong for the Grand Forks mill. Mr. Townley appears to be in a bad way politically. But | We still can be happy if he has a sense of humor. 4 - EINSTEIN . You read a lot about the photographs taken by astronom- @s in Australia last September, during the complete eclipse of the sun, to check up the Einstein theory.

Hines has created a type of comedy and a style of acting as individual as Chaplin or Lloyd or any of our other well- n actors. ! The story deals with a rich young man who, taunted witn being abso- lutely uscless to the world, wagers that he can make ten thousand dollars in a year, starting with noth- bet after divers adventures and thrills, Other numbers on the Eltinge pro- gram for Friday and Saturday are an Aesop Fable comedy, Pathe News and a Johnny Jones comedy, “Broad- casting.” School Board Must Pay For Transportation | A school board in a consolidated school district does not have the op- tion to discontinue paying parents for transportation of pupils to hool, when it deems such action visable in the interest of economy and when transportation has not | been provided for by public convey- lance, according to an opinion ren- | dered Cathay school officers by the | Attorney-General’s office. A 1917 law providing that if no school is taught the required length of time within 2 1-4 miles from the residence of a child, the school board shall pay, except in the case consdl- idated schools, 26 to 50 cents per day to any one family living more |than 2 1-4 miles from the nearest school, or the hgard shall furnish transportation, or equivalent in “That is the general provision re- lative to common school districts,” the opinion says, referring to the statute. “Upon consolidation there is no relief from duty to furnish transportation.” The consolidated school transpor- tation law, provides the board shall ‘furnish publig conveyance unless two-thirds 6f the voters vote against it, upon organization of a consoli- dated school district. The opinion holds that the only difference in the | duty of the board is as to the mode and method of furnishing transpor- | tation. i WILD ROSE | Mr. and Mrs. H. J.
