ROSEBUD COUNTY.

Forsyth Times: The past year has not
been a bad one for what is now Roseouu
county. On the contrary, it mas oeeh
most glorious year, no matter what the
fault-finders might say. It's people are
contented and prosperous; there has been
work for all who desired to work. ana II
there is a hungry mouth this promising
day. it is probably the fault of the own
or and not because there has not oeen
n,enty to do or ample opportunity 1or
everyone.
Politically. the territory now embraced
by our county lines has not been without
it's clashes but the asperities incident 10
these difference in life should now be 1or-
gotten in order that the duties which the
new epoch will bring may find us one
and all marching in a solid phalanx WIN
the matchless word, Rosebud emo'a"-
oncd upon our banners.
Shall we not join hands in this patrlotic
duty? Let the scoffers if any there be-
flock by themselves if they will. Let them
alone, and time will show them theh
error. We cannot do so by quarreline
with them. But let each of US do our
best and let our declaration go forth to
all the world-"Rosebud' County, first
last and all the time!"
And let every mothers son Of US Hive
up to the spirit of this declaration every
minute, every hour and every day OF the
ensuing year and years which follow It,

THE CHILDREN AT THE GATE

I say that the world is bitter-sweet,
And it's fortunes come too late;
But twilight falls, with the pattering
feet
OF the children at the gate.
And know, whatever my toll may be,
Their arms, in the evening, will necklace
me!
l say that the world has stormy skies,
And family the sad stars shine;
But night brings stars when the chill
dren's eyes
Look tenderly into mine.
And know, whatever my toll may be,
Those eyes are welcoming lights ito me!
And the world is green, and the world Is
wide,
But never the world is i'll,
If after the stress of the storm and tide
The children love us still!
And I know, whatever my grief may be
Voices Of children sing rest TO me!

A THING OF THE PAST.

Great Falls Leader: The seventh leg
isative assembly Of Montana Is among
the things of the past. It is dead and let
us hope that 1t will rest in peace. At
any rate the people of Montana will rest
better now that there is no further dam
ger of the solons doing anything to the
detriment Of the state. The members Of
the legislature at least many of them,
We're willing to do what they could to-
wards the disbursement of capital, but
fortunately towards the end of the ses-
sion. there were some Who realized
whittier they We're drifting and attempted

The work done by the legislature is cx-
actly like the platform on which the fu
sion party was formed and like the ele-
ments of which the fusion party is COM
posed. 1t is a patchwork performance
all around. and it will be found, as soon
as the laws passed have a chance to be
scrutinized carefully. that the pieces In
the patchwork do not fit, and that there
fore we will have as result of the labors
of the seventh legislative assembly some-

FACTS ABOUT FOREIGN COMMERCE.

Examination of the official returns for
January, just issued in detail. brings to
light some interesting points. Total ex-
ports We're $685. s22. 045. against $117.597,-
las in January. 1900, an increase of $1S,-
124,S97, but there was greater gain
than this in the products Of agriculture
alone, of which shipments were valued
at So, 56l, SAT, against ST., 7S1 ,S16 defer
ence of $50. S30,531 Search for an expla-
nation discloses a loss of $2.9S2,9O5 in
exports of manufactures, which COM
prise only 24.4S per cent OF the month S
total, against 30.S7 per cent in the pre-
vous year. AS the principle cause for
rejoicing has been the remarkable
growth in foreign demand for manu-
featured articles, 1t is important to find
just where this loss occurred.
Foreign concerns have made heavy re-
auctions in prices of iron and steel pro-
ducts, and the effect is seen in loss of
$l63 .S9a in builders hardware, $19S,3O9 in
pipes and fittings. 1927. $40 in metal work
ing machinery and $475O94 in miscella-
neous machinery. Owing to large gains
in exports of bars and structural shapes,
the net loss amounts to only $6OS,016
For seven months of the fiscal year
however there still appears an in
crease of $7,111.S56 in exports of iron and
steel manufactures. Bicycles are sepa-
rately classified, and show a loss OF
$29O.64S compared with the previous
January. which is more than offset by q
gain of $371 ,632 in instruments.
Notwithstanding moderate increase
in boots and shoes. there was a loss OF
s46o 466 in the leather class mainly due tc
smaller SHIPMENTS of sole and upper
leather in the United Kingdom. The
decrease of 1857 SOC in cotton cloth ex-
ported is not alarming. since the loss
to China alone was $S4S,o94 and OF late
there has been better movement II

s1s1 $50 occurred in paper. but a loss o.

gate. EFFORTS of manufactured silk are
steadily growing, for seven months the
total reaching $172,197, against 49,, 03S
in the previous fiscal year. A loss of
$30S. 1853 in January exports Of timber
was balanced by an increase in manu-
features of wood. A gain of $3.50, 759 in
value of coal exported was on account
OF higher prices. since only 1888 more
tons were shipped. Canada is still the
principal customer for this product.
Imports for the month decreased
$6.665, 252. of which the principal losses
were: Hides, 2.03O,222; rubber, $l,772,-
S3S; coffee, $1.7O5,S02, receipts from Bra
iii falling off twenty million pounds,
and raw wool. $l.173.619. although i'm
ports of manufactured wool gained $685.
AL. In raw silk there was a loss of
$65o,1o1 and in manufactured silk $685.
617, while fibres decreased $439 40; cocoa,
$S12.S5S. and manufactures of cotton,
$34O.OS3. The largest increases for the
month We're $3,O19.21S in sugar and
sl.245,9.2 in jewelry. but there still ap-
pears decrease in this item for the
fiscal year. A good gain of $643.O34 is
noticed in lead. but tin plates from the
United Kingdom fell off $l34, 26l, and
chemicals lost $175,96O.
Judging from the returns foreign COM
merce at the port Of New York for the
last four weeks. and by the restricted
movement and lower prices of cotton at
the south, it is probable that the Feb
ruary record will be less satisfactory
than those of recent months. There is
no reason to fear an unfavorable trade
balance, however, for imports have also
shown signs of decrease. In February,
1901, there was an increase of nearly
S2,o0o,0oO over the preceding month in
the value of merchandise exported, but
imports decreased $1,000, 900. making the
increase in foreign credits $50593,O44. So
far is last months business may be ecti-
mated by returns now available, there
is no reason to expect a better showing.

THE COST OF WAR.

Thomas e. Wilson of the New York
World has an article in the March num-
Der of the Review of the Republic on
The Cost of War" The writer has A
high repU .ation as a statistician, and his
figures are doubtless approximately cor
rect.
Mr.. Wilson states that during the
century jlst closed, the treasury dis
hursements of the leading civilized ma
tions considerably exceeded $40, 900 000
900, a sum so vast shat the mind can
hardly grasp it at all. This amounts to
eight times all the gold in the world at
the close of the century yet Mr.. Wilson
fortifies himself by reference to official
reports and shows that he has not ex-
aggerate1.
The cost of the civil war, for instance.
for maintenance of armies in the field
for four years was S17772 00O,00 While
the property losses, etc, amounted t.
$50 900 100000 additional.
! The estimated cost, as given by Null
hall, of the ten major European wars of
the century, including, however, those
of Napoleon beginning in 1898, is as TO-
lows: 1898 to 1915, Napo1eonic wars, ss.-
| go, 900, 900; 1928, Russia and Turkey.

war; 81 .525, 900, 900; 1859, France and Aus
tria, 1925, 900, 900; 1866, Prussia and Aus
tria, 800, 900, OOO 1870 to 1871, France ami
Germany. 81, $50, 0OO, 900; 1876 to 1877, Rus
! STA and Turkey, $3.50, 100000; making a
total of $11, 900, 900, 900.
Spain has suffered most from war. As
Mr.. Wilson points out, at the beginning
of the century her colonial empire was
nearly as great as that of England, yet
it has all been taken from her by war.
She had not recovered from Napoleon :
CONQUEST when Wellington conquered
her, This was followed by the Carlist
rebellion in 1884, lasting five years, with
a regul lr succession Of smaller conflicts
eliminating in her defeat by our OWE
country.
Mr.. Wilson introduces at the close o.
his article the following table shown:
