QUESTION ANSWERED:

Yes, August Flower, still mas the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers' never thought of using
anything else for indigestion and
biliousness. Doctors we're scarce, and
they seldom heard of appen ,lcitis,
nervous prostration of heart failure,
etc. They used August Flower to clean
out he system and stop fermentation of
undigested food, regulate the action of
the liver, stimulate the nervous and
organic action of the system. and that
is all they took when feeling dull and
bad with headaches and other aches.

The bill making states attor-

relieved for cause, passed the

ment was presented by Senator
LaMoure, who also read letter
from Bosard & Bosarl, the state

the states attorney of Pemb1na
county, that were highly interest
ing. In support of the bill the
Pembina senator spoke briefly, by
way of introducing the communi-

stated that it appeared that the
county of Pembina had been robbed
of several thousand dollars by the

THE present state Of affairs
shows that the advocates of prohi-
bition in Kansas have been shut
ting their eyes to the truth. The
.sanctity of the state in the present
instance is the most dearly bought
wisdom of human history. If the
political officers of Kansas will not
enforce the law let the officers be
impeached and removed. If that
cannot be done let those be elect
ed the next time who will enforce
the laws. If the people will not
elect men who will enforce laws
that have proven obnoxious to them
such laws should be repealed.
Such methods az those of Mrs.

Just listen to that howl! The
Philadelphia North American is
one of the most rampant of the re-
publican dailies, and now they
want to hang the individuals who
have pr"6ted by the very system
the republican party has always
advocated and upheld. Ye gods!
If democratic, or paper of other
than republican views, should
print such wild and lawless advice
the Office would be mobbed inside
Of fifteen minutes. The leading
republican dailies, especially in
the big cities of the east are now
thoroughly awake to the errors of
their party and the great wave of
public sentiment that is arrayed
confronting the policy of their
party. What is wanted in the So
luton of this problem that is now
conf onting the whole civilized
world rs not lamp post scenes, and
riots, nor bloody revolutions as
suggested by the big republican

WHERE IS THE pRoF1T3

Statistics show that each man in
the United States army costs the
government on the average 81, 288.
German soldiers cost their govern
ment an average of 1927. France,
besides maintaining a standing
army, pays pensions and the war
fine of Germany with an annual cost
per soldier of 1892. III ether
words, the United States pay near
ly twelve and half times more
than Germany to keep soldier in
the service. From a business
point of view, this country will
either have to trim expenses or get
larger returns, if a war of conquest
is entered upon, or colonial pos
sessions are to be held with profit.
Previous to the war with Spain the
highest cost of the army was
S56,60o,000. that being required in
1894. Only the year before war
with Spaia was declared, in 1897,
the cost was less than $4,000, so
that the present service, now en-
gagged for the greater part in the
islands sl54,000,O0O, is nearly
$79, 100000 more expensive than
before the Spanish trouble. In
view of these things, there seems
to be a need for careful con.
sideration of the nations balance
sheet. Even the irksome war tax,
which will be reduced, does not
finance the prospect.

HISTORY REVISED.

Editor Frank A. Wilson, of
Bathgate, who is reliable author
ity GA the politics and history of
North Dakota, from the old terri
torial days up to the present time,
has the following timely comment
in the last issue of his Pink Paper
relative to the historical correct
ness of Frank Ira US article, en-
titled the "Pooh Bah of Dakota"
dealing with Cavalier county do
ings, political and otherwise, back
in the early $685., It was written
for the Boston Transcript and re-
produced in the columns of the
Langdon Republican on the 18th
inst. We had seen the article and
recognized the errors as to origin
al data, but refrained from under.
taking to correct the writer, know
ing there were others, whose
knowledge Of Cavalier county's
history at that period, gave them
priority in the matter. Here's
what Editor Wilson digs up as
facts as to the opening chapters of
Cavalier county's history and there
are many old time residents here
who can bear out the correctness
of his statements:
'The Laugdon Republican re-
prints a production of F. B. Tracy
from an eastern paper. The
article is written in the usually
pleasing style of Mr.. Tracy and
was all right for the eastern papers
but when reproduced by the Re-
publican as matter of early
history its inaccuracies may lead
many astray on important county
history. The county organization

was one of the last Of the celebrated
county organizations perfected
under the ORDINARY regime. Hon.
P. McHugh was not a resident of
Bathgate or Pembina county and
was not a member Of the legislature
at the time. Nor did Cavalier at
first include the tie1s of townships
of Pembina county which were
later taken from this and attached
to Cavalier county. The county
must have been organized prior to
1885, as it took part in the election
of 1884, at which time either w.
j. Mooney or P. McHugh was
county auditor, this senatorial dis
trict at that time consisting of the
counties of Pembins, Cavalier,
Walsh and Ramsey. Mr.. Fox was
not the first superintendent of
schools but Hon. 81. D. ALERT, who
at that time resided on a claim
near Hannah. Doherty was at
Langdon in '85 and had started
the Courier, later merged into the
