THE PRESIDENT Is DEAD.

The nation mourns the presi-
dent; the people mourn Che man.
In this feeling political bias has
no part. No matter how men
differed from the political views
of the president, nor how bitterly
they opposed his various national
policies, they admired and respect
ed, Mckinley, the man. What
ever his mistakes may have been
they we're not mistakes of the
heart. He was great-souled and
as tender as woman. His civic
ability and private life added
luster to the Office which he held.
The American character was hon
ored by his life.
At 2:l5 o'clock Saturday morn
ing William Mckinley, President
of the United States, died and his
spirit joined that of Lincoln.
Throughout memorable week
the nation in q measure, the
civilized world-has felt alarm,
hope, joy and fear, to deepest
grief. He was a good American
citizen; he served his country we'll
in war and peace; he had no
enemies worth consideration; his
loss will be felt most keenly where
he was known most intimately.
1t is said that just before the
administration of the ether, that
was 10 make the operation on his
wounds possible, Mr.. Mckinley
repeated the Lords Prayer-that
creed universal, that petition for
every mind and heart. When
taking the inaugural oath as
president at the capitol, March
4th; 1897, Mr.. Mckinley pressed
his lips to this verse, the tenth in
the first chapter of Second
Chronicles:
"Give me now wisdom and knowledge
that may go out and come in before
this people; for who can Judge this, Thy
people, that is so CREATE"
Truly, wisdom and knowledge
were vouchsafed this servant and
chief; surely in his goings and
comings he made manifest power
given from above. There is a
covering criminal in a prison
cell to whom we owe our loss.
We can best afford to leave him
to the justice of an outraged state

The passing of the -four trust is
the theme of an editorial leader in
the columns of our contemporary,
the Republican, of last week. It
must be that the editor has got
onto the fact that Acting Presi-
dent Roosevelt has declared him
self in favor of the governmental
control of trusts. It is also worthy
Of note that most of the prominent
republican leaders, including the
editor of the Republican of course,
entertain similar views when there
does not happen to be any politi-
cal campaign on hand.

OUR RELATIONS WITH CANADA

The Canadian census figures
will receive much interest in that
perennial subject, the commercial
and sentimental relations between
Canada and the United States.
The people of the dominion are
keenly disappointed at the rate
of increase for the past decade.
Five years Of unexampled pros
perity have failed to attract immi-
grants, and the total increase for
the ten years is but 505,594. The
population at present is $685.
1874, whereas six millions were
confidently counted on by public
men. Why is not Canada grow
ing faster? There is something
wrong, but what and where?
Politically Canada has every adj
vantage Of substantial independ-
ence, and she escapes many bur-
dens of full nationality. The
fact that she is a COLONY" it is
safe to say, has never caused a
single homeseeker to turn away
from her. It is the industrial
condition that is unsatisfactory,
and Canada's salvation is in free
trade with the United States.
That, however, Is out Of the
question except as an incident Of
political union, which is remote.
It is not easy to account for the
singular remarks recently made
by Sir Charles Upper, the ex-
premier and conservative leader,
on the future of Canada. He is
reported as saying:
"Anything like free trade between the
two great countries of this continent
would be fatal to Canada. It weuld in
volve the acceptance OF the United
States tariff against the world, England
included, and therefore is not to be con-
sldered for moment. The first of any
such steps would be that the markets Of
this country would be flooded with
American manufactures and our own
industries killed. Finally, such free
trade could only lead to Canada ceasine
to be portion of the British empire,
and cause her to become IN time an
integral part OF the American union.
The United States has learned by ex-
perience that Canada is able to stand
alone, and that she 10 not dependent on
the United States for her advancement
and prosperity, and that all her institu-
tons are best promoted by the closest
commercial intercourse with Great
Britain"
Not many Canadians will be
deceived by these paradoxes.

The following poem, which is from the

some of the best written verse matter in
the state is 80 beautiful in sentiment
that it is reproduced:
THE NATIONS PRAYER.
Thou Ruler of the earth on high.
We pray Thee, hear nations cry.
In supplication low we bow
The head for we do know Thou
The God of Love alone canst feel,
Our sorrows as we humbly kneel.
One heart, one tongue, one voice, one prayer
We raise to Thee, Thou who canst spare.
We pray Thee now, if tits Thy will,
10 guard us from threat ming i'll.
We ask Thee, Lord, to guard the bed,
Where stricken lies the Nations hoad.
Where sits the suffering wife in tears,
Beset with anguish, doubt and fears.
Ascending prayers with her unite,
Beseeching Thee, who in Thy might,
Canst vanquish Deaths chill spectre near,
Canst comfort, sooth, and dry the tear.
Beseeching Thee, crushed in our grief,
y Lord, to spare the Nations chief.
Heed Thou Thy peoples sad lament
GOD save our noble president.

OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER.
PROPER OBSERVANCE.

That the grief of the citizens of
Langdon over the death of Presi-
dent Mckinley is genuine has been
demonstrated by the observances
of mourning and expressions of
deep sorrow heard on every hand.
It is good to see our citizens de-
termined to give outward and
visible signs of their grief on such
an occasion of general mourning.
Early Saturday morning flags all
over the city were at half mast and
business houses exhibited flags and
and bunting draped in black, while
q picture of the departed chief Of
the nation shrouded with black APP
peared in the windows of o large
number of stores that usually
contained displays. Langdon peo-
pie are patriotic and enter their
mute avowal of public woe and
protest against anarchy and as
sassination.
To-day there is general suspen-
sion of business throughout the
country while the funeral of Presi-
dent Mckinley is being conduct
ed at the family home, Canton,
Ohio. The banks, stock and
grain markets and other public
places of business throughout the
Union will close for the day and
the stores and offices will close
during the progress of the
funeral.
Langdon will not be behind the
rest and Mayor McPhail, follow
ing the example set by President
Roosevelt, has issued proclama-
ton asking our citizens to drape
their places Of business in mourn
ings and join in the universal
manifestation of grief at the sacri-
fee that the country has been
called upon to bear. Langdon
people this afternoon temporarily
suspend their ordinary avecations
and close their places of business
to attend memorial service held
by the clergy in memory of our
martyrsd president. The senti-
ment in favor of so doing is
general, in fact no self respecting
American citizen can feel other
wise than that it is proper that
our inward grief should take the
form of this outward manifesto
ton. The proclamation issued by
Mayor McPhail is given below:
To THE CITIZENS OF Ian GDoN, N. D.
Whereas, the funeral of our late Presi-
dent. William Mckinley, will be held at
Canton. Ohio, on Thursday, the 10Th
day of September, A. D., 1901
And Whereas. it is the duty OF oil good
citizens to show their respect and grief
for the loss OF our martyred president,
Therefore 1, as Mayor OF the City Of
of Langdon. would earnestly request
that all places OF business be closed and
appropriately draped from 1, o'clock to
3 o'clock p. M, on that day, aud would
ask all citizens to attend Memorial Ser.

AN AWFUL DEATH.


Run Over By Threshing Machine That
He Was Repairing-Died Within Half an
Hour-Well Known In Langdon.
A fatal and sad accident occurred on
Friday afternoon of last week in the
southwestern part Of the county and
about thirty miles distant from this city,
which resulted in the death OF an old man
who gave as his name John Wallace. In
company with another maohinist, named
Brown, he was sent out last week by
Mahon Il Robinson to make repairs on a
threshing outfit. On arriving and after
looking it over they decided that it was
necessary to steam up in order that the
defects in the boiler might be more readily
detected. The outfit was in motion, the
engine drawing the separator. A tenn.
porary table was attached to the latter to
carry straw with which to fire the engine
Wallace was walking along side the out.
fit, looking after the firing Of the engine.
While in the act of taking forkful Of
straw from the separator to the engine
he stumbled, his foot being caught in
badger hole along the read. He fell and
before he could extricate his foot the
wheels of the separator were upon him,
passing over the middle of his body ia
the region of the stomach. He called to
the engineer but both front and hind
wheels had passed over his body before
steam could be shut off end the engine
brought to standstill. Wallace had
not lost consciousness and when the
others ran back 10 his aid he had dragged
himself out OF the way of the water tank
that brought up the rear, the injuries
were fatal and he lived less than half an
hour after it happened. Wallace is not q
resident but has been up here work.
ing as machinist and engineer regular

He stated before he died that be had
worked at the boiler making trade in Du-
luth and Minneapolis, having originally
come from New York state. where he
was employed for many years in loco
motive works. For years. since thu
death Of his wife, he has rambled in an
aimless manner over the country paying
but little attention to his welfare. He
told the engineer, who was by his side
when he died, that his family Of four
grown sons, two named Fred and Frank,
were located in Seattle when he last
heard from them and some of them were
employed in either the water works or
electric light plant Of that city. Tels-

The Unfortunate BoNmans.

John Bowman and family, OF Us
coda. were tourists en- route 10 the
Pan-American on the ID. x {. steamer
City of Mackinac Monday afternoon.
John had $1G0 in his inside coat pocket
and not 4 care in the world. Tuesday
someone else had the cash ana the
Bowmans were on their way back
home. Detroit being the nearest they
got TO the big Buffalo show. they
were not able TO secure Staterooms be-
cause of the crowd on the steamer,
and when ii was time TO turn in Mr..
Bowman fixed up bunk on deck. He
wore short serge coat In which he
carried his pOeketbook, and Mrs. Bow
man suggested that il would be COCA
idea TO fold ii up for pillow. thus
killing two birds with one stone by
providing 4 safe place for the cash
and a rest for his head, but before
folding up the coat lie decided to take
just one look at his cash. 1t was gone.
Search the boat from end to end as
they might it could not be found.
Whether Bowman lost his pocketbook
accidentally or it was stolen from him
he can't say.
