Charles Noble Gresor, Gives Address On

slty Of Wisconsin, addressed the Civic

the technical training that the frater-
nifty must undergo to be allowed to
practice and defending against all ira
ducers and critics the honor sapd glory
of the profession. The evar-increasing
number of lawyers in America Mr..
Gregory attributed to the opportunities
the profession offered for public pref
erment as well as pecuniary gains, and
while the bottom of the ladder was
crowded with struggling under-paid
advocates, there was still plenty OF
room at the top. But there is a clergy
man for every lawyer, and there are
many more physicians and surgeons
than lawyers, despite the official fig
ures OF the census which puts the ratio
at one lawyer to every 1858 men. In
China there are no lawyers at al, but
the custom of criminal torture Pr walls
there in all it's horror; and in Russia
there is but one lawyer to every 81 900
persons-facts in which Mr.. Gregory
found argument going to show that
where civilization is highest there the
lawyer is in greatest demand. the sup

lated by the demand The power Of
the American judiciary, which exceeds
the power Of the legislative depart
ment OF government and is unique
among the judiciaries of the world. is
another thing that contributes to the
glory of the American bench and bar,
while the single fact that with the ex-
ceptlon Of soldiers chosen in times CT
war every American president has
been a lawyer. is proof of the honors
that are possible in the profession. But
because Of all this the lawyer has
greater responsibilities in America

One hundred members donating SIS per
month means fund of $500 per month
or $4,000 year to be put into city
homes and business houses. The
loans are controlled by a board OF
local members who are thoroughly
familiar with the proposed investment,
and as the business of the community
expands, the associations operations
keep pace. Miles City has success
full association, and the investors have
not only never lost dollar but they
have added many comforta BILE homes
to the town.
Although at the present time For
syth is rather small to support such
an association, one could be started
the coming summer. which would form
the nucleus of an enterprise that would
do much towards promoting the pros
perity of Forsyth.
Nearly every good sized town in the
state has it's own building association
and many of them owe much of their
growth to these organizations.
Why not Forsyth?

Try to Beat the Yankees.

Che of che ways in which Germany
has been seeking to shut out American
goods from her markets is by refus-
ing advertisements OF things made in
the United States. Frank H. Mason,
the American consul general in Ber-
lin, reports to the state department
that for the last six years the Ger
man trade papers have refused to pub

cIes and sewing machines The tariff
did not shut out the American bicy-
cles, so the German manufacturers got
together and declared that they would
patronize no paper devoted to thu BIZ

OF American wheels. Several German
manufacturers OF bicycles are also
manufacturers of sewing machines, ana
they decided to include those in the
boycott list. At first there was con-
siderable damage done to the American
trade. but after awhile the Yan,ea
traders Hooded Germany with COR

DECIM AL YSTEM.

Writer Gives Good Advice to Com
merciai England.
The continental bagman, who is in
a fair way to drive his British rival
from the markets, starts his business
career with a second commercial edu-
cation. The decimal system of coin
age and measures reduces arithmetic
to the simplest of exercises. At the
age of 10 he has learned enough for all
practical purposes, and turns his at
tentlon to languages. When the day
comes for pushing his country's COM
merce abroad he is, thanks to carefully
compiled bluebOoks, a walking ency-
clopedia of the requirements of The
country which he is about to visit
Not only can he converse with his GUS
toner in his own language, but he can
also show him samples of what he most
requires, marked according to the COIN
age and measures OF his country If
England would hold her own, not only
in Europe, but in more distant mar
kets that; her enterprise alone has
opened to the world, she must educate
her sons differently, says the London
Express. Let them waste no more time
on useless calculations concerning
acres and hogsheads, however excellent
the mental exercise, but turn their at
tention to few and simple coins and
measures of other lands, as well as
their languages and requirements.
Better still, let England take I'D the
decimal system and render such calcu-
latlons unnecessary to any. In SO do
ing she would be but following in the
footsteps of other countries, who are
certainly not losing ground where for
elgn trade IS concerned. 1t is nearly a
century since France adopted her pres
ent system in place of one as obs 9le.e
and cumbersome as our own. Anleri-
"a, too, must have made the change at a
comparatively recent date. The pl-
grim fathers certainly did not take out
supply of dollars and cents in the

BUILDING AND LOAN.

That a splendid future is in store
Tor Forsyth and Rosebud county. few
who are familiar with the natural re-
sources and opportunities of this sec
ton doubt for 4 moment. 1t NAV not
happen this year or next, but as the
county develops and the town expands
to meet the growing demands of trade
that naturally centers here, the former.
bids fair to outstrip its neighbors. and
if the same foresight and enterprise is
displayed by the leading business
men OF the community that conditions
warrant, this consumation NAV be
materially fastened. With the be-
ginning of spring Forsyth viii enter a
new era in it's history. 1t has now
risen to the dignity of a county seat.
the capital Of Il vast territory the
larger part of which is still undevelop-
ed but which is capable of greater
production than is generally supposed.
But before attempting the task of in
ducing Immigration to Rosebud county,
Forsyth should see to it that better
Facilities are offered for handling the
trade that now naturally should CEN
ter here. The town is still lacking
somewhat in this respect and the con-
ing spring and summer should result
IN some improvements. The most cry
ing need at present is tor buildings.
nf L.,
poses are needed apd there are ten
ants waiting for every one that under
the ordinary course of events may be
erected this year. 1t is we'll known
rule OF trade that competition benefits
all alike. 1t brings more buy
ers who are attracted by the greater
advantages offered and those already
on the ground suffer no loss by the in
coming OF competing merchants but are
the gamers instead. Forsyth needs
store buildings and residences, board
ing houses and work shops-there is
healthy demand for these and up to
certain limit an investment in this
sort OF property is sure to bring good
returns. few good business blocks
would would certainly result in an ex-
pansion of trade and this would re-
suit in further demand for residences.
From the history of other towns that
have been built up by cooperation, it
is learned that the plain people, that
is, people of moderate means and who
work for wages, can do quite as much
toward building up city as capital
lists. This is done by cooperation.
The simplest plan is by the organiza-
tion of building and loan association
among the home people who can afford
olay by few dollars every month
and invest their savings in building
and loan stock.
The plan is familiar to most folks,
SO simple illustration will suffice:

OGDEN, Utah, has just bagged a

crank has figured it out that Carnegie

Asbest ~ Mining.

In Canada are number Of mines
where asbestos is produced. and ono
Of the largest of these is near Sher-
brooke, in Ontario. The serpentine
rock is mined in open quarries and
after it has been carried to the surface
that bearing the asbestos is separated
from the barren material by hand
picking. At cobbng house the LONG
fibered asbestos il knocked off from,

the preacher by shaking his head and

corner of the church: Me ready for

TO RESTRICT COTTON ACREAGE.

A press dispatch from Atlanta,
21st inst, states that Harvey Jor-
dan, President of the Southern Cot,
ton Growers Protective Association,
has issued a call to the cotton pro
ducers of the Southern States, asking
them to meet at the county seat of
every county in the South on Satur-
day, April 9Th, for the purpose of
adopting some plan to restrict the
acreage of the cotton crop for the
season 1901 and 1902.
Owing to the delay in making it
known, we fear that but little good
will be accomplished by this move
ment. But farmers ought to meet
and discuss the situation and we
hope that Progressive Farmer read
ers will attend these conventions
wherever possible.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The Southern Tobacco journal re.
ports that a meeting will likely be
held at Raleigh or Danville at an
early date for the purpose or organ
izing the tobacco growers of Nir-
ginia and the Carolinas into an In
ter state Tobacco Growers AssOcia-
ton" We hope that the report IS
correct.
New cleo factories are being started
and the fraud grows more powerful
with every passing day. The dairy
men of all sections must stand solid
~ in defence of pure food and honest
dealing before oleo can be destroyed.
Southern dairymen will feel its hea'
Wy hand more plainly than ever from
now on.
Cotton went still lower yester-
day, the price paid being 81 and 81
cents So says one Of our Raleigh
exchanges. It is worthy of note in
this connection that our esteemed
contemporary has not recently called
attention to its numerous editorials
Of only a few weeks ago, the refrain
Of which was, "Hold your cotton for
ten cents" It is a curious fact that
these papers which give the farmers
such advice invariably claim credit
for all money saved to the farmers
in case the price goes up, but never
mention their prophecies if a decline
in price follows.

criticise. The animosities and hard
feelings of the campaign of 1900
ought to be forever buried. But it
is worthy of mention that some of
the friends of peace and amnesty in
this particular dropped the doctrine
when they came in sight of the Craig
impeachment resolution.
The election law we have not yet
carefully examined, but it seems to
be incOmparably superior to that of
1899, as was admitted by the Repub-
lican members.
For the agricultural interests of
the State, the Legislature enacted
some useful laws, chief among which
we place that allowing only prac-
teal farmers upon the Board of
Agriculture. In accordance with
this provision, Gov. AycOck has just
appointed some good farmers and
splendid men to manage the Agri-
cultural Department.. The act placing
the A. and M. College under control
of the Board of Agriculture also de-
serves the appreciation of the
farmers.
Little progress in good roads legis-
lation was made, Senator Alexan-
der's efforts in this direction being
baked, but the test of the wide tire
law in Charlotte township is ex-
pected to set the State thinking upon
this important subject.
Party pledges were vainly invoked
in behalf of the legalized primary
idea, which was vigorously sat upon.
Though backed by public senti-
ment as we're few other measures,
the plan for a reformatory failed.
It's friends will keep up the fight and
hope for victory in 1901. The same
is true of laws against factory child
labor; upon this subject we have
already written.
Fresh from a campaign in which
the race issue was the leading one,
the members of the General Assem-
bly, deserve great credit for their
fair and liberal treatment of charit-
able and educational institutions for
the negro race, especially the A. and
M. College of Greensboro, and the
colored orphan asylum at Oxford.
The Stubs bill discriminating
against the negro in the division of
school funds was killed in the COM
mittee room.
The antitrust law passed is prac-
tically worthless, but not more so
than the average State antitrust
law. State legislation of this kind
is almost invariably puerile and
valueless, "sound and fury, signify
ing nothing"
The impeachment proceedings are
generally regarded as unwise and I'M
called for. Beyond this statement
we will not here discuss the matter.
Those who sneeze whenever the
party boss takes snuff have already
rendered their decision, but for the
man of independent mind il is too
early to pass Judgment upon the
General Assembly just adjourned
too early to pronounce it one of the
best or one of the worst that we
have had. The points mentioned in
this + set forth in the hope that
they will aid the reader in forming
a correct conclusion.
