AT the organization of the jamestown
asylum board Saturday F. B. Fancher
selected as president and G.. A.
Lieber secretary. The board reelected
all the old officers consisting of DR..
Archibald as superintendent; Mrs. Archi-
bald as matron; DR.. Moore assisting ply
stefan and Major Lowell steward. None
join in more heartily in congratulating
the doctor on his being continued in care
of the institution where he has labored
SO hard, than the TRIBUNE. Under his
ministration the asylum has grown to be
one of the foremost in the country and
we believe the people of the state will
say the board has done wisely and we'll
in his disappointment.

THOSE interested in life insurance
these days, and this takes in most of the
adult male population Of the country,
will be interested in the discussion now
going on in insurance circles about
whether losses occasioned by suicide
should be paid. One of the leading mu-
tuals of the country in a single ASSESS
ment report the payment of $42,500 for
this cause alone. The theory has OBJ
tanned among some that no man deliber-
ately shufles off this sphere unless in
sane. That this is not correct seems to
be the rule now. That a man commits
suicide is nc proof that his mind is IN
balanced; it simply shows that he is
tired of living and does not consider life
worth the game of existence. In many
cases it is simply a financial cal
culation. They obtain entrance
in some mutual company,
pay the small fee required to join and
then actuated by the love for their fami-
AAOO Uhou OIL A1OA udtc, cuu Uuc1I 0AlSU-
ence. The moral question does not come
into play at all. It is simply that their
children and wife will have enough to
live on and with this end in view away
goes the God-given breath of life. Like
many another individual, what they Sc
cure out of a corporation is "all clear
gain" That some more conservative
management of this matter will
have to be adopted by the COM
panies, is getting to be self
evident. Mutual companies are supposed
to insure their members against death by
natural causes or accidental injuries that
the parties cannot control. The amount
that the beneficiary receives when the
loss is paid on a suicide is nothing more
or less than a theft from the living mem
bers-from those who have self-will
enough to struggle against the ADVERSE
ties of the world. The business of life
insurance is not without it's drawbacks

WI call the attention of our readers to
the Arbor Day proclamation of Gov.
Burke, published in this issue.
1t is not necessary to enter into argu-

the Importance of the observance of this

JUST before adjournment congress
passed an Indian Depreciation law that
will probably put $50,O00,00O in %circula-
ton. This practically removes all re-
strictions and limitations, and every set
tier or his heirs can now get pay in full
for all losses occasioned by Indians.
Henry N. Copp, the well-known lawyer
of Washington, D. c., will send free of
cost a copy of this law to all who will
apply to him for the same.

WHILE you are talking about native
industries these days, what is the matter
with the dog business? The Alert re-

bench show of that place. Then again,
we are reminded Of the canine in Cass
county, having blue blood in its veins no
doubt, that recently sold for $500. Does
this mean that it will pay better to raise
dogs than grain in North Dakota?

Up to date, something like fifty bank
ing institutions of the state have organ
lied under the general laws of North d.
kota. Some still remain outside the law
full fold and to them Public Examiner
Wallace has addressed a circular stating
that after the Goth of this month they
will be dealt with according to the law
in such case made and provided. just
what reason there may be for a nom
compliance by a few with the statute is
not known. The courts of last resort
have said that the measure was constitu.
tional; the last legislature refused to
change it. II the instructions of Mr..
Wallace mean anything, and no one will
particularly doubt that he will do as he
says, the time to comply or shut up shop
has arrived. The measure has attracted
the attention of the financial world to
North Dakota and many of the states
passed a similar enactment the past win
ter. 1t is regarded by those in favor of a
wise, conservative management of the
financial institutions of the country az
being the best law now on a statute
book. Modelled as it is on the plan of
the national banking law, considered to
be. the best system any country in the
world has to-day, there can be no ques-

should be compelled to adopt its provi-
sions or cease swinging the banking sign
