II message to pupils recently issued
by the executive committee Of the Ma
tional Columbian Public School Cele-
bration speaks a vigorous word to every
II of the several million American
boys and girls. How far the word will
have effect depends upon each individ-
ual boy and girl. Once enlisted in the
movement they will feel the stimulus
that comes from being in ii great move
ment, II of a mighty mass. working for
a common end. When that end is the
glory of such a country as ours, is it not
worth a little sacrifice? 1t is hoped that
the pupils in our public schools will be
as enterprlsing in moving III this matter
as those in any other place in the state.
Our schools should move with equal
step on that day with all other schools
throughout the republic. Failure to
participate in tins national demonstra-
tion will doubtless be cause for regret III
later years to all pupils who permit
themselves to be lett ont.

The Wood County Reporter COM
ments thus cruelty on the death of the
Williston Tribune: Died, in its little
log shack, in the city of Williston, on or
near Friday, May 90, the Williston Tri-
bune, owned and operated by Geo. w.
Wilson, editor of the Minot journal. Its
untimely death was caused by lack of
funds wberewithal to pay for it's patent
sheet. Dead, defunct, without any
doubt. The Tribune has made a noble
struggle for life, but the efforts of Bro.
Wilson and Slim were not appreciated
by the Williston people. In the words
of an ancient philosopher we dolefully
exclaim "Vale! Valev Tribune! This
nondescript sheet has merely gone the
way of all the world. To the financial
mourners of the departed we extend our
sincere sympathy in their loss.

RAILROAD COMMISSIONER HARMON
has returned from his triple see the great
Memphis bridge opened. He is full of
praise of the hospitality of the people he
met in the south. He fell in with a
number of men whom he knew years
ago, when he spent some little of his
time in Kentucky and other southern
states. Mr.. Hfrmon says he is satisfied
that a good emigration agent could do a
great deal in Tennessee and Kentucky
to induce immigration to North Dakota.
The citizens there are very backward in
their information concerning this state,
and they were astonished at the facts
Mr.. Harmon gave them. He says that
land sells there for a very high price, and
when they are told of the low prices of
highly productive land, such as can be
purchased in the Missouri slope, they
open their eyes in astonishment.

HE following from the Richland
County Gazette may be taken as a fair
exponent of the opinions of the news-
papers Of the state: mo one is anxious
to have a special session of the legisla-
ture for the mere sake of having one.
But it is probable that almost every voter
would rather have an extra session than
to lose his vote in the presidential cleo.
ton. With regard to the appropriation
for the Columbian Exposition, it is a
good rule that "Whatever is worth do.
ing at all is worth doing WE'LL" If we
have an exhibit, we ought to have a
creditable one. If it is not creditable. it
will injure the interests of the state
more than it will help them.

GENERAL PoRTER's latest appeal for
the Grant monument fund ought to be
the mean of completing the undertaking
which, under his energetic and u
full direction, has advanced so rapidly
and so far toward fultillment. Since
"the sixty days. campaign" began more
han 100000 has been subscribed, and
only about $4,000 is needed to make up
the half million. There is a strong de-
sire on the part of all who have engaged
IN this task to bring it to an end before
Decoration day. Only six days therefor
are left, but they surely ought to be
enough. And yet just because it seems
so easy to raise the small sum still re.
CURED there is a chance of disappoint-
ment. Many may feel that the
result is already secured and so
neglect the final appeal. General
Porter and his associates deserve to
be guaranteed against the consequences
of such ~inadvertence. They have labored
persistenly and %unsel6shlyt for two
months, and they have achieved a bril-
liant success. The fund is practically
complete. The lack of a few thousand
dollars will not diminish their credit but
only their satisfaction. 1t will, how
ever, seem to signify a want of apprecia-
ton of their efforts on the part of this
community. There must be a great
number of patriotic citizens who will
hereafter deeply regret their Indifference
or negligence if they fail to respond to
this last call, and so cut themselves off
from personal participation in the tribute
which New York is paying to the mem
DRY of General Grant.

If the announcements all over the
state are to be considered an index of
public sentiment there will be several
ladies holding the position of county

AT a meeting of the Grand Forks

AT a meeting of the Grand Forks
chamber of commerce on Tuesday. it
was virtually decided not to attempt to
hold a state fair this year. The city has
raised the $1,000 guarantee fund, but
the state agricultural board in addition
required that the railroads be inducedt to
ship exhibits free in and out, and grant
a single rate for the round trip going to
and returning from the fair. This the
railroads declined to do. SO the board
determined that it would be better to
use the $1,000 in the purchase of perma-
nent fair grounds and let the fair slide
this year. Probably the decision is a
wise one, audit Is now too late to perfect
arrangements for a successful exhibit. If
Grand Forks donates a satisfactory
piece of ground, it is to be hoped that
the next legislature will make a
sufficient appropriation to cover the
deficit which may be expected, and
that the policy of bleeding towns for
state purposes will stop. If Grand
Forks donates permanent grounds, the
state can afford to appropriate the money
required for current expenses. The
will oppose the knock down and
drag out policy Of asking towns to stand
and deliver in order to carry on enter
prises for the benefit of the whole state
or to erect state institutions. A town
may he properly asked to donate a site.
Every North Dakota town has plenty of
real estate, and the location of a state
institution will enhance the value of
surrounding realty sufficiently to justify
such a donation. But after the site is
secured. all the other outlay should
come out Of all the taxpayers. This is
the only equitable method.-Fargo

In short. everywhere financial affairs were
at the lowest point of depression in one OF
