THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE. |
President McKinley's forthcom-
ing message to congress, it is
stated from Washington, will
recommend the establishment of
American sovereignty in thePhilip-
pines by all the force that may be
needed, that it may be maintained
permanently, that the civil govern
ment follow the military at the
earliest possible moment, and that
wide latitude be allowed the
natives in local self.government.
In the forecast of the message an
nouncing this policy it is not
intimated that the president en-
deavors to justify in principle this
departure from American doctrine
and the consequent denial of
liberty to a people who had we'll
nigh won it from their Spanish
oppressors before this government
received the opportunity to prove
a consistent loyalty to American
declarations. But the president
does make an effort to commend
his policy to the American people
by showing that there's money in
it for them.
GIN recommending definite ac-
ton by the coming congress as to
the future government of the
Philippines" we are told, "atten-
ton will be called to reports from
competent authorities showing the
great commercial Importance of
the islands" Upon this exhibit,
it is to be presumed, whatever
opposition there may be to the
forcible annexation of the Philip
pines, the final and lasting repu-
diation of the Monroe doctrine,
the deliberate refusal to longer
recognize the truths enunciated
in the Declaration of Independ-
euce. will vanish like mists before
the sun. Why? Faith, because
there's more money in holding the
Philippines than in letting 60 of
them.
There is lack of morals and a
consequent pitiable absence OF
dignity in this administration
policy to be announced in Presi-
dent McKinley's message, but
commercialized politics never re-
ceived q more typical illustration
Now that we have chance to
grab and hold a big slice of terri
tory ia the Old World we'll do it,
right or wrong, and in clear
violation of the solemn pledge
contained in the Monroe doctrine.
God helps those who helps them
selves. Money talks. Nothing
succeeds like success. Power is
greater than principle. These are
the sentiments that will resound
through the presidents message
to the next congress. That
message will be the first of its
kind in American history-pray
God that it may be the last.

ors state that Of the entire crop
acreage of North Dakota almost
three-sevenths consists of flax,
which at the present high price
means the bringing of great
wealth to the state. In 1896
statistics showed that our state
produced in round numbers 5, 000,-
GOO bushels of flax and this year
the yield of the same seed is
estimated at 100000 bushels.
All of this flax has been or will
be sold at prices ranging from
$l.00 to Sl.20 per bushel, accord
ing to which North Dakota will
get more than $lO,O00,OO0 for its

their flax to market and holding
their wheat for better prices.

gold we'll have to be shipped

Another weeks work has been added
to the fine work already done by the
captains and teams of the Wheeling
tournament, which completes the
twenty-first week of twenty-seven
week schedule, and the race until now
has been very interesting. OF course,
the teams that will probably take the
prize money have for some time held
the s. me positions, but to hold them
will take extra care on behalf OF the
CAPTAINS, who will have to get their
best material out every week and put
in their best ticks, and even that may
fail. for bowling is an uncertain game
and is never over until finished.
Last weeks games started between
the Aber Nits and Wheelings, and 1t
goes without saying that the latter
took three straight, which was in part
the fault of Bernie Schrieder. VINO
tried a new set of bowlers while he sat
calmly by and watched them so down
in defeat But Bernie never had the
nerve to lose, for, as he says, 1t makes
him sick for a week after. The above
games make nine games won by the
Wheelings from the Aber Nits. The
next night it was the Frog Horns
against the All Alike team. and Oh
course Fiddle" Rolls ale punlshers
got their usual swiping, much to the
delight of H. Balzer, who IS watching
that second money like a dog guards

Horns could have taken one game that
night, only they didn't want to. ~

two teams the All Alikes won them all.

one member on the racing board 1t is
hoped by this means that should good
men be selected, the racers will come to
understand the workings of the organiza-
ton and see tht it is trying to help them.
At present many of them think we are
antagonistic to them and their interests.
Now, regarding the outlaws" contin
ued Mr.. Mccarthy, several of the per-
sons who are heading the revolt against
the l.. A. W. are discontinued men
They have formed a so-called board OF
control which corresponds to the racing
board of the league. More than one name
they have dowR as members of this board
belong to men who have no desire to be
included among their number and have
written to them, saying that their names
are used without authority. and desiring
them to be removed. Two of these men
told me that instead of being in league
with the outlaws they were staunch men,
bers of the l.. A. w.
Many of the professional racers who
have taken part in unsanctioned events
have done so because, like most of their
class, they We're broke at the end of the
sea son. The only races being held were
the outlawed ones, and they hoped to win
more by taking part in them than their
fines will amount to when the regular sea-
son opens, when most of them will pay
up and be reinstated by the league. They
had to live. that's all, and took chances,
and 1 don't blame them much.''
Mr.. Frederick House, the well known
New York Lawyer who is the president Of
the National Cycling association, the chief
opponent of the l.. A. W., summed up the
situation as it now exists in a manner
that left no doubt of his opinion as to the
outcome Said he:
Cycle racing has reached stage of it's
existence where it demands more con-
sistent and conscientious attention than it
can ever hope to receive from such a
loosely drawn organization of individuals
as is the l.. A. w. That body annually
changes it's complement Of officers, max
ing revision of the racing department a
natural sequence. The track owner, the
race promoting club and the racing man
are nonentities according to the league
standpoint, and are not to be trusted with
the direction of the sport in which they
are all vitality interested.
1.-THE most glazing inconsistency is the
barring of the professional from member
ship and still presnping to dictate to him
how he shall earn hislivelihood in compe-
tition.. Every year on the assembly floor
the league orators have insulted the pro-
fessional elass. which contains just as

pleaded so hard, saying that his team
needed it so bad, and gave him the story
of how he would like to beat Dutchy Will
helms Puritans out for the honor (but
it's the glue Sid wants., etc, until finally
after Sid had blown himself at the cafe.
Bill did give in and thei Golden Rods won
two of the three. Ed. Bearley did very
well for man weighing a54 pounds. Last
weeks games between the two teams
made it eight out of nine for Sid's team.
Thursday night Dutchy Wilhelm and his
paper collared team went out to the al
leys in all their glory with the intention
of taking three games in a hurry and go
home, but the Cronies also had an eye
out for a game or two, and straight-away
they took the first game by twelve pins,
and would have taken the other two only
for the fear that it would cause the Puri-
tanS to get to quarreling among them
selves and might hurt the league, so the
Cronies lost the next two which makes
seven of the nine that the Puritan won.
Friday night Henning threw the rod
into Bill Faulkenstein's team of Rum
Dums three times, which pleased Dad
immensely, for as he didn't get to bowl
that night, on account of serving OK tail
soup and book beer. He was wishing they
would lose three, which they did, and
ever since Dad has been smiling and
saying that had he been there it would
have been different, but Big Bill knows his
capacity as q bowler. The above games
made it nine straight for the Bowlers.

averages of the ten teams and the sched-
