The first, twenty-five of the
..Prettiest Country Homes in
America" are shown in the
February Ladies' Home Journal.
There will be over one hundred
of these photographs, and they
will picture in detail the most at
tractive and artistic country and
suburban homes in the United
States. The pictures that will
constitute this series were select
ed from the photographs of sew
en- thousand Of the prettiest
American homes. A competitive
contest for q photograph of the
prettiest house in this country
broughta a picture of every home
having any claims to attractive
ness or beauty, and from these
the very best were selected for
publication in The Ladies' Home
Journal exclusively. Houses cf
all sizes. from every section of
the country. of various costs.
have been selected. and the
series will be valuable for sug-
gestions to those who conten-

modelling an old one.

One qualification which Sena-
tor elect McCumbcr possesses is
that he is an actual resident OF
the state. and not q carpet bag.
ger. In every new state the
carpet bag is strongly in evi-
dence. and it is natural that
it should be SO. The
early residents are all out.
siders. and with those who come
to build up the state, are those
who come to be built up by it.
Failing this they go on to fresh
fields and pastures new, where
the grass is longer, and the nib.
bling better. North Dakota,
like other new states has had its
season Of representation by
transients. but for several years
back the tendency has been
against the plan Of electing to
public Office any but bona fide
residents, who have cast in their
lot with the otter citizens of the
state. and to whom political de.
feat does not mean removal from
the state. Mr., McCumber was
i successful North Dakota bust.
ness man years before his cleo
tion. and. had he not. been elect.
ed, he would have remained g

On Sunday night in New York
City IL mass meeting was held to
protest against the policy Of ex-
pansion. The meeting was pre-
sided over by u number of lead
ing democrats and mugwumps.
The burden Of their wall was, ;Ls
always: I'VE are unalterably
opposed. The organization
which delights to call Itself
democratic, is always opposed
to every advanced position taken
by the United States. 1t seems
incapable Of taking an advanced
position on any question thai
reaches beyond it's ideals Of 100
years ago. It would make Il
Chinese wall of the constitution
and crack over the head any
venturesotne spirit who would
dare to peek over that wall int.
the great world beyond. Lik.
the barancles on the bottom Of a
ship it clings to the keel of the
great ship of state. with ap
parently no other object than t..
impede it's. progress. Every
once in a while the people havs
to dry-dcck the ship to scrape of
the barancles. The clinging oi
the party toits dead ideals makes
one think of the tickle cry of the
French: .'Roi est mort; vive le
Roi" (The king is dead; long live
the king). The constitution is
great; it is good; it is powerful
within it's limitations but it is moi
a blanket mortgage which covers
the scope of human wisdom;
neither is it the ''king;" but
rather the throne, upon which
sits the real sovereign-the will
of the people; and as long as
human freedom, justice. equal
rights and humanity the four
feet upon which the throne is
built-holds chief place in the
hearts Of the people just as
long will the throne remain.
Upon this foundation whose
breadth is limited only by crea-
tion itself, may be builtat super
structure reaching to the utter
most ends of the earth and tower
ing to the stars Of heaven,
There is room for expansion
within the consti tion Patriot.

Icommends the passage Of q law
requiring the payment Of fees
for official documents issued by
the board of university and
school lands, the fees to be
turned into the expense fund of
the board. The fees proposed
are: for land leases. Is cents; land
contracts Of sale, 81; patents
81. 25; for approving and record
ing assignments of contracts, 81.
for certified copies of contracts.
81. Such fees, it is estimated,
would yield a revenue Of $1,000
for the biennial period. A law in
South Dakota, similar to this
recommendation. has been in
force since 1891 and during the
last biennial period produced a
revenue Of $4.892. Fees are re.
quired for u documents issued
from the offices of the secretary
of states. commissioner Of insur-
ance. commissioners of agri-
culture. superintendent of public
instruction etc. Why not also
from the board of university and
school lands.
