The Tipping Evil.
Christian Science Monitor: At the
present rate, unless the tendency be
checked, the cost of tips will soon rival
regular legitimate traveling expenses.
In the end, of course, the ordinary
traveler must either rise in revolt
against this system or become so dis
couraged by it as to travel only when
he cannot possibly avoid it. The trans
portation companies, the hotel keep
ers, the restaurant keepers, all those'
who deal with the public in transit or
away from home, will, we believe, find
it to their advantage to assist in
overthrowing a practice that, rightful
ly or wrongfully, is creating a senti
ment by no means friendly to them.
It is felt widely that their tolerance
has been knowingly at the expense of
the comfort and pocketbooks of their
patrons. It will be a happy day for
this republic, when its people shall
have gotten down once more to terms
of study self-help and independence,
when they shall demand only what
they, earn and refuse all gifts.

The following article was contrib
uted by Capt. Q. H. Williams:
The army appropriation bill con
tains a number of provisions which
alfect the organization of the army.
The scope of some of the sections in
the proposed legislation makes it the
most important since the last gener
al reorganization of the army in 1901.
The organized militia, since it Is a
part of the first line of defence with
the army, is directly interested on ac
count of the effect upon it, of the pro
posed measures, which include a Ave
year enlistment and the abolition of
the present division of militia affairs.
The position of chief of the division
wll be done away with, under the pro
posed bill, and the office establishment
consolidated into the proposed general
staff bureau, to be composed of the
present detailed general staff and the
present personnel of the adjutant
general's and inspector general's de
partments, including a certain number
of officers who will be permanently on
the general staff.
It is, therefore, suggested that all
the proposed amendments be carefully
studied by the organized militia.
The regular army has not yet been
supplied with the sweater and it will
be some time before the quartermas
ter's department will be prepared to
issue sweaters to the organized militia.
The olive drab coat will still be worn
for drills and ceremonies and occa
sions in camp when the field kit is not
worn.
The new Infantry equipment, model
of 1910, will hot be manufactured in
sufficient quantities to permit the is
sue of complete sets thereof during the
year 1912 to the organized militia but
the intrenching tools, model of 1910,
and carriers therefor, can be issued to
the organized militia after charge of
their value against the allotment of a
state under either Sec. 1661, revised
statutes, or the act of May 27, 1908.
These intrenching tools and the car
riers can be u&ed with either the old
design infantry equipment, or the new
design, model of 1910!
The supply of Manual for Privates
of Infantry is exhausted, and Instruc
tion Circulars, No's. 2, 3 and 4, D. M.
A., are out of print.
It is regarded as advisable and rec
ommended that under peace strength
there should always be available for
assignment to each regimental organ
ization, independent of the personnel

bulance companies and field hospitals,

THE NATIONAL GUARD
TO LATE COL. W. H. R0BIN80N,
A FORMER MEMBER.
The following resolution was adopt
ed at a regular meeting of the Build
ers & Traders' exchange of Fargo,
Thursday, Jan. 11, 1912:
Whereas, Hon. W. H. Robinson has
been by that Supreme Intelligence
which governs the affairs of men, re
moved from this earth and,
Whereas, his friends, members of
the Builders and Traders' exchange of
Fargo, have heard with profound sor

Be it resolved, That as a token o
our love and esteem for him, this res
olutlon be engrossed and forwards
by the secretary of this exchange
the family of the late Hon. W. H. Rob
inson and his business associates.
Colonel (Robinson was born in Chi
cago, 111., Oct. 21, 1848 and died at hi
winter home at Hammond, La., De
24, 1911. He came to North Dakota i
1863 and established himself in th
lumber business at Portland, late
moving to Mayvllle and since the
time had ben actively engaged in th
upbuilding of the state. He was
kind and courteous gentleman whoi
to know was to love and the man
courtesies sbown to the Builders
Traders of the state, the ever read
hand of friendship, the kindly smll
and the hospitality shown at all time
to our members will ever be cherishe
in our memories.
Now that the life work of our frien
is ended, now that he has laid dow
the burden of human existence, w
that are left to mourn his untimel
death, feel that we have suffered
great and lasting loss and as a fut
ther tribute of respect and love fc
the memory of our fellow builder it 1
Resolved, That a copy of these ret
olutions be spread upon the records

Even Olstad Believes TM# City
Best Little City in West and'
Will Open Office.
That Fargo is the best little city in
the west and that greater possibilities
are offered the young business man
here than, in any other city in this
section of the country is the opinion
of Even Olstad, who a few days ago
arrived from New Norway, Alberta.
Mr. Olstad has been in the New
Norway district about eighteen years,
going there flrst when the Indians and
half breeds occupied the country. He
and other members of the famliy have
dealt in large real estate ventures in
Canada and are said to have been re
