A Difference 'The old saying that it makes a great deal of difference whose ox is gored still holds good. Just' recently "Our Peaceful Theodore'' has been pushing a case against a Wisconsin newspaper man for libel. It occurs to us that we have read some speech es of the ex-president, in which the words "liar," "cheat," "coward •"crook" and a few other choice phrases were used. We presume that the Colonel has been pushing this suit just to prove that he has all the libel phrases and words copywright- Does Tariff Affect Wages Duluth Nws-Tribune: Eugene N. Toss is the democratic governor of Massachusetts. He once was a re publican. But he decided that the protective tariff was an iniquitous affair which robbed the many for the benefit of the few,-while incidentally the way to office was not open to "him in that party. So he became a democrat on the -tariff issue. He was more than a tariff revisionist, lie was practically -a free trader. He made this his campaign issue and won. He won .-again on the same contention. Now -the tariff is being revised in a way -that largely fulfills his ideals. He is to have his returns. He has 'his chance to prove that the manu facturers of this country do not need rgovernment protection, that they are WEEKLY BULLETIN A. J. Stafne Farm Lands No. 1.

But Governor Foss is also a man ufacturer .and his employees recent ly decided they must have a twenty per cent increase of wages. Speaking for his company he refused this and his refusal was put on significant grounds. He said: "The request comes tft a peculiar ly inopportune time, when the indus tries of the country are seeking to adjust themselves to the impending change in the tariff policy of the national government. There are few, if any industries, which at this junc ture are in a position to incur an in creased expense- by making a sub stantial advance in wages." So the employes struck, 1,200 of them, and Mr. Foss closed the fac tory. As a free trader he finds that a protective tariff is essential to per mit wages to keep pace with the cost of living and that advance in the kind of living which has leen the America wage model. It is now Secretary Redfield's part to put in operation his declared in tention to investigate any manufac turer who used the new tariff as an excuse for regulating wages. Gover nor Foss offers him a distinguished subject. Battle The Flies The North Dakota Health Bulletin contains the following:—As the cold weather of winter has passed and stands bowing to the graceful en trance of spring and warm weather, we rejoice in beholding nature take on her new mantle and gaze with admiring eyes at the new growth of things beautiful, but at the same time we should not forget that with this change of season comes our com mon enemy—the fly. This is the most dangerous insect known to man. They are the filthiest of all vermin— they are born in filth, live in filth and carry filth around with them. They are capable of carrying millions of disease germs and leave some of these wherever they alight? They may and actually do infect the very food you eat and it is surprising that there is not more sickness than there is when we realize that they come to your kit chen or to your dining room fresh from the cuspidor, where, perhaps, sputum from tubercular people is de posited—from the privy vault, where colon baccillus and the germ of ty phoid make their home—and from other breeding places as the garbage can, manure pile, from decaying veg etable matter, or from the cantagious sick room—with their feet and bodies laden with the virus of disease which is deposited in milk and upon food only to W injected into the unwary human body and still this contamina tion escapes recognition owing to its microscopical appearance. Carried into the body, then, it is capable of setting up such diseases as Typhoid Fever, Scarlet Fever, Diptheria, Tu berculosis and other infectious dis eases. A clean home is the fly's worst enemy. There he perishes for want of filth. It is most essential, there fore, that the home and its surround ings be kept scrupulously clean and sanitary. Allow no filth or decaying matter of any kind to accumulate on or near your premises. Sprinkle ker osine over contents of privy vaults, keep garbage receptacles tightly COV' ered clean the cans every day, and the boxes at least every week. See that all manure is removed at least once a week—by so doing you will eliminate the breeding places. To get rid of this pest, screen your doors, windows and porches. Screen all food especially milk. Do not allow them to come into contact with the baby's bed, his bottle or comforter. Catch them as fast as they appear. Use liquid poisons, sticky fly papers, fly swatters and traps. A good fly poison can bo made by using one pint of milk, one pint of water, one tablespoonful of formalde hyde, one tablespoonful of sugar. Sat urate small squares of bread and place in a shallow dish using the pre caution that it is beyond the reach of children and animals. Jhis is a sim ple mixture but it will kill flies by the thousands. As in most matters of sanitation and hygiene, cleanliness is the watch word. Make your backyard corres pond with that beautiful lawn in front.

Ranchers near Medora say there was an unusually heavy loss of range horses in the bad lands the past win ter, in some pases running as high as 30 per cent. Fall rains spoiled the nutritive qualities of the grass, then the heavy snow of October packed it close to the ground, making it hard to get, while lack of snow liter in the winter deprived the animals of need ed moisture. One instantly killed and two injur ed is the result of an explosion of a gasoline tank at Rolla. Geo. Dever aus was the unfortunate man killed, and Harry Kyle and Chas. McKay were somewhat, but not seriously in jured. The accident occurred while Mr. Deveraux was trying to mend F.

D. COM. PASS BILLS AND PETITIONS (Continued from page 1) said that he understood there was a city scavanger under contract, and that little attention had been paid to this work. Also that if there was such an office as scavanger he sug gested that the same be abolished so that some one else could be gotten to take up the work. It appears that the council must advertise for bids for this work, which will be done. The health officer also said that he had observed a large pile of rubbish, tin cans etc., adjacent to the city jail and suggested that it might be a good idea to get this out of the way and set a good example. He was- directed that in cases where people refused to clean up that he have them arrested and brought before a justice and fined. The matter of alowing a large num ber of bills was then taken up and for nearly two hours the council went over these bills, satisfying them selves as to the correctness of the claims. Some of the bills .ere turn ed down. Among the claims were two or three for refunds on meters, which had been presented two or three years ago and never allowed. The council did not look kindly upon a number of old accounts, which had been put over from one time to an other and never settled and some of these accounts will probably be left pending. The commissioners drew their first salary vouchers for the managing of the affairs of the city of Williston at this meeting. Hope deferred has given many a man cold feet.
