'To date the people of that commonwealth have not branded him, to put it vulgarly, a “knocker.” He has never been accused of hurting his city or his state. Any- one who has followed his campaign for tax reduction knows that he handled the subject without gloves and he stepped on the toes of the off holder and his ends. He also served notice upon the tax-eaters that the day of come-easy go-easy in New York expenditures was drawing to a close. The other day amid impressive ceremonies this fearless executive signed what is known as the Phelps bill providing for a reduction of 25 per cent in the State income tax for 1924, effecting a saving of $8,500,000. That money will go into new investments, homes, in- creasing output of factories and in a hundred ways will the saving on taxes stimulate business, build up a city and promote General not simply Clique prosperity. Coming back to North Dakota and Bismarck. ciple involved is the same. always brings down upon one’s head personal abuse, invec- tive and vituperative attack. But that is as nothing if the voter can only be aroused to the fact that the BALLOT IS HIS ONLY weapon and he should use it in the interests of lower taxes. During the next few days the abuse will be accumulative. The horde of tax eaters, job holders and special beneficiaries will make their usual appeal to the pre- judices of the voters. They will seek to inflame their minds on issues that are’ not involved at all. It is necessary for the voter to keep a cool head if he wants to prevent, his pocket-book from becoming completely empty. Those behind the city hall gang are deeply entrenched. They have money, an organization that functions because its leaders are paid city officials and can afford to electioneer at your expense Mr. Voter. Those enjoying favors and pro- tection at the hands of the city hall gang will be out in their ears election day inviting you to ride with them to the polls and will pour into your ear every argument why the orgy of spending should continue. Don’t be misled. The ballot is your only weapon. * Use it April 7. It will be two, maybe four years before you will have as good a chance as this to protect your property and your earnings from the kind of confiscation sponsored by the city hall gang. It’s your fight Mr. Voter, it’s up to you. You pay the freight. Lenhart and his machine spend the money. Your vote is the brake. Apply it hard April 7, even though you bump off the front seat a few extra office - holders whose services can easily be dispensed with at a saving to you. YOUR BALLOT IS THE WEAPON! The prin- WALTER PERKINS MACOMBER In the death of Walter Perkins Macomber, which ot- curred yesterday, North Dakota lost one of its leading citi- zens and a man who was a big factor in the development of the state. > Mr. Macomber came into North Dakota in the early days and he was quick to see the great possibilities here. He found his field in this new country on the border of McLean and. Burleigh counties, where the great coal deposits amplify the natural richness of the land for stock and farming pur- poses. The bare prairie, then, gave no sign of the activity which has built up the town of Wilton. The town and its promise tell the story of his life there and stand as a monu- ment to this far-seeing man. Mr. Macomber was called the father of the lignite coal industry and he is given credit for the establishment of the mining of coal in this state on a paying basis. When some writer of the future writes “The Romance of Lignite,” and tells of the rise to fortune of the lignite coal barons, Mr. Macomber will stand out in the light of those almost un- known heroes who forced anthracite upon an unwilling pub- lic nearly a century ago. Although his chief interests were in the mining of coal, Mr. Macomber was successful in other lines of endeavor. He carried on a large trade in lands and graing and was very "successful in farming. During his residence in North Dakota Mr. Macomber contributed much to the upbuilding of the state. His rare judgment and tact in all affairs made his counsels and advice invaluable and he was recognized as one of the big leaders of the commonwealth. 3 O. K. OR NOT? Now let the anti-scientists rage. Thousands of mice in Vienna, afflicted with cancer (doubtless maliciously planted) were operated on in a manner which normally would have led to recurrence, and then treated with maximum doses of insulin, with the result that half of them remained per- manently cured. : j i : : Is this not a violation of the constitutional rights of mice? And if it leads to methods by which many human cancers now inoperable become inoperable, or operable ones can be ‘treated by less cutting, have we any right to save human ives at the cost of the lives of mice? ; 2t-™Mere are those who would make it the law that mice should be mercifully tortured to death, with traps and poi- son, to protect human larders, but must not be sacrificed to save human life.

And the blossom fairies had been} so busy that trees were now sprinkled all over with fuzzy buds and katkins. And beside that there were yellow bushes out everywhere { Mrs. Bluebird built her nest in a fence corney while fat, lazy Mister Bluebird watched her the nest building himself. The Mareh Hare and the Twins came alung just as the last piece of | straw was being put into place. “I forgot!” exclaimed the hare. “I. certainly did plumb forget.” “What's the — matter?” asked Nancy. “What did you forget?” Isn't spring started? Isn't everything lall right? | “It certainly isn’t,” said the hare “I forgot about the bird houses.

Either that or a chimney.” z | “Or on my account,” said Mrs./ Flicker. “A hole in an old tree is good enough for me.” There were other birds who could jalso have said not to bother about, \them, but they had not yet come! from the south, The meadow foy instance, would likely have s “I build my nest onjthe ground And the blue jay would have (Gif he were honest),®*You needn't, bother about me either, f i jthe nests that other birds built.” And the oriole would have said, “And as for us, we make a sort of pocket and hang it from a branch. No bird house for us, thank you!” But, for all there were so many birds who didn’t need houses, the March Hare knew that there were hundreds who did. Mister Tingaling, the fairy land- lord, took out his rent book, “I fig- ure,” said he, “that there are going to be at least nine hundred and nine- ty-nine more bird houses needed this wu have year than ever before. What had we better do?” “We'll write to all the boys at aid the March Hare, “and ise in the papers.” ‘The next morning every boy for miles and miles found a letter under his door. And’ ail the papers in town told about bird houses being needed. And now, if you listen very, very carefully you will’hear sounds of sawing and hammering everywhere. It is people building houses for the poor homeless little wrens and war- some place to go when they come to visit. If you haven’t one near your house now, you'd better hustle and make one, so you had. _ (To Be Continued) (Copyright, 1925, NEA Service, Inc.)

The Florida boom has at least one popular millionaire to its credit. No one will begrudge William J. Bryan his entrance to the ranks of the plu- tocracy, In fact, no one will sus- pect him of belonging to it, except in assets, In spirit, Bryan will always be the “Commoner,” even if the jour- nal of that name is suspended and its founder is rated at a million. This is only one of the qual that have endeared Bryan to all of us. Few of us voted for him, and fewer agree with him, but everybody has a warm spot in his heart for him. In this age of cynicism, it is well to have had one public character whom ambition did not harden nor defeat sour; who may have been mistaken usually, but who meant right al- ways.

DAWES ORATORY WILL CO WITH THE PEOPLE — + Dawes will make speeches on behalf of the reform which he is advocating in the Senate. His style of oratory will “go” with the people, whether it does with the Senate or not. This is the rule which he wants changéd. Up to a few years ago, the Senate rule was that every Sen- ator had the right to speak as often and as long as he liked on any mea- sure, and that no vote could be taken so long ds any one wanted to speak. Then, in a spasm of “reform,” the Senate pretended to cure this. So now, after a bill has been under de- bate a certain number of days, if two-thirds of the Senate votes to close debate, the debate still goes on for two more days before it begins to close, and after that each sena- tor may still speak one hour on it. That would take 21 days of ses- sions of the usual length. But a suf- ficiently determined majority of two- thirds can, theoretically, force a vote in three weeks, or perhaps in one week by all day and all night ses- sions. Practically, a determined minority, by forcing this step to be taken on many measures if threatened on one, could’ obstruct indefinitely. It has never been tried but once, and then it delayed instead of hastening mat- ters.
