THE 1900 ASSESSMENT.

The annual report of the county
assessor which appears this week
shows an increase over the totals o.
last year of SG4N, al. In this increast
there Is food for much thought. Al
together the report shows n healthy
condition Of every industry aId that
the people oi Fergus county are NJ
well off from "A financial standpoint,
as those OF any section in the coun.
try. We believe that the report Of
the census, which has just been taken,
will enable us 10 show that the per
capita wealth of Fergus county PEG.
pie is far above that Of the average
in the whole country.
Some features are particularly in
iteresting. While but 10000 more
acres of land was assessed this year
than last, which represents the
amount upon which final proof has
been made within the year, the value
of that land has increased S2l2,OJS.
Tho improvements on the same have
increased about Sl6,0 900 In value.
No change was made this year In
the valuation ef town lots In Lewis
town and II remains about the same
as last, but the improvements show
an Increase in value of S64,Sl2. This
should be very gratifying to the peo-
pie Of Lewistown. IL IN IA big In

building is occupied and the demand
Is still considerably ahead Of the sup

show a further increase OF $4,000 oI
more.

ing to be dealt with fairly and given
the largest measure Of free govern
ment which they are capable OF
exercising. To assume that they are
now capable OF self-government Is
absurd.
To sandwich mllitarism In with
the Philippine question for the pur-
pose OF preiudicing those OF foreign
birth is a natural thing for the DEM
ocrats to do. But this will fall fiat.
Facts and figures will show the alb
surdlty Of this campaign shiboleth.
An army OF $1,000 with the limit
placed At 100. 900 will not alarm a ma
ton Of 76,OO0,O 900 0f people. Even
with the 10000, 900 In our insular pos
sessions there is more likelihood of
the present numerical strength be-
ing reduced than enlarged. 1t will
lie difficult To make the intelligent
foreign born citizen believe that one
soldier To every $50 inhabitants isgo-
ing to endanger his liberties or that
there is any possibility Of his being
pressed into service. Militarism has
doubtless driven a great many from
their native land and hlittle won
der. Germany has an active army
Of nearly 1900, 900, ready for service
on short notice, with reserves that
would swell the number to over ], 000,-
900. France has nearly as large an
army In the regulars and reserves. In
these and other European countries
every young man over tw%enty-one
years Of age In enrolled for military
duty. Is there any danger Of this in
America? Not the slightest. There
will never hc any necessity for alargt
army and the idea Is unreasonable
as well as un-American. 1t is simply
