R. B. GRIFFITH OF GRAND FORKS
THE JOHN WANAMAKER OF
NORTH DAKOTA, =


Grand Forks Herald: R. B. Griffith
is recognized throughout the northwest
as one Of the most entertaining, and
at the same time, one of the most con-
servative business men in the state.
The size of his mammoth Ontario
store, with its numerous departments,
and it's immense stock. and the magni-
tude OF his trade operations through
out a wide territory has earned for
Mr.. Griffith the title of the. John Wana-
maker, Of the northwest in the matter
of business operations.
Mr., Griffith has recently achieved
distinction in another direction, one
of his recent business enterprises hay
ing confirmed his resemblance to the
great merchant prince Of the east. Mr..
Wanamaker is the largest life insur-
ance policy holder in the United
States. Mr.: Griffith is probably the
largest policy holder in the northwest.
He has carried large policies for some
time, and within the past few days he
has added to his other policies one for
S5O,0 900 written for him by A. S. FL
ford, agency director of the Grand
Forks branch Of the New York Life In
| surance company Mr.. Griffith now
carries policies for 100000, in round
numbers, $75,0OO OF which is in the
New York Life. The annual premium
of the new policy is understood to be
approximately S4,5o0. being much the
largest annual premium ever written
in the state. # lis needless to- say

Honor Bright is establishing fine
reputation as q shipping tomato. This
is due to its exceptional habit in ripen-
ing. Although it blooms with the ear
ly tomatoes, it does not mature its
fruits until, quite late, ripening very
slowly from the center outward, just
the reverse of other tomatoes, At first
1t turns ivory white, gradually chang
ing to yellow, then pink. deepening in
to beautiful red when fully ripe.
When In its waxy white stage Of
ripening. the fruit is very solid and
firm and, it is claimed. win bear almost
as rough handling as potatoes. ,S5.5 E !.
The fruit can be picked when passing
out OF the white stage and be shipped
or stored away for days and be found
tender skinned and red ripe when
wanted for use.

Secretary Wilson. .

As the head of the department OF
agriculture. Secretary Wilson is an in
valua BILE official, and it was character
istic of him that when he heard that
President Roosevelt wished to offer the
secretaryship of the treasury to Gov
ernor Shaw of Iowa he promptly went
TO the President and offered his resig-
nation, saving that he felt with him.
self out of the way the President would
be better able to invite another lowan
irto the cabinet He did not hesitate a
moment to sacrifice himself if it would
aid the public service or free his Off
cial head from any embarrassment.
Rut the President as promptly and
frankly refused to accept the proffered
resignation. saying that he could not
spare Secretary Wilson and that no
man in the country could be found bet
ter fitted for the position. He said.
and said truly, that ii would not be
emharra ssing to have two men from
the same state IN the caDltlet as ioiiS
as both were such able men.
This incident shows the character of
ture. who. in a quiet and unostenta-
tious manner, has recreated his de-
partment and made Il Of much greater
importance and value than ever be-
fore. Unlike Governor Shaw he began
his political life early and was in Con-
gresS in the seventies and eighties. re-
firing in 1885 and not reappearing in
national affairs until he came into
President McKinley's cabinet i'll 1897.
the wear in which Governor Shaw made
his appearance in politics. The coun-
try agrees with the President that he
cannot be spared from his post.
As illustrating his unsellish and
patriotic character. it is recalled that
Mr.. Wilson's retirement from Congress
in 1885 formed one of the dramatic in
cidents OF the death of General Grant.
He had received a certificate Of cleo
ton from the fifth Iowa district but
a contest by his opponent, Frederick,
seemed sure Of success if a Vote could
be had upon it, as the House was Dem
ocratic In the closing hours of that
Congress il became Mr. Wilson'S alter
native to cease from dilatory tactics
in order TO allow the bill restoring to
General Grant. who was then dying at
Mt. McGregoT, the rank of general OF
the army. or by continuing to filibuster
to retain his seat. and go on the rolls
of Congress as having been a member.
He chose the former alternative. sacri-
iicing his seat in order to allow Cen
eral Grants closing hours to be made
happy by the knowledge of his coun-
try's newly expressed gratitude. Such
q man is this sturdy son of Scotland
whom Iowa and the country honors,
and there cannot be too many like
him in public life.

Another Universal Language.

We are to have another universal
language. We have had many of them
in the minds of their ingenious pro-
moters-but somehow before the uni
Verse was really familiar enough with
them TO use them, they have been lost
on Times great rubbish heap and
been forgotten. In each case the loss
has been too trifling to be mentioned.
And now another enthusiast appears
on the scene TO repair the damage
done at the tower of Babel where Ian
guage was confounded. This time it
IS no less person than a member of
Congress from the far West who pro-
poses to fix up the whole matter by
Legislative enactment.
He has introduced bill in the
House providing for a conference to be
held in Washington next October. TO
which delegates shall be invited by the
President from all the nations Of the
world. for the purpose Of formulating
an alphabet Of written and printed
characters, to represent the elemen-
tary sounds of the human voice, which
alphabet shall be adapted to the uses
of all languages" The President is to
appoint eight distinguished scholars of
the United States to represent this
country on the proposed international
conference. Each nation is to be en-
titled to one delegate for each 100000
OF its population. and each independ-
cnt nation is To be entitled to at least
one delegate. The United States is to
do the entertaining. of course. though
the amount appropriated by the bill
Tor that purpose. $4,000. evidently con-
templates n very large deficiency bill.
The object of this measure is one to
which little objection can be made.
excepting on the score of expense. but
even if it should pass, which is an
extremely remote contingency. it is not
at all likely that any great results
would come from the measure.
Nheh the universal language comes.
'''' millennium will happen along
simultaneously. But the English Ian
R"age is coming nearer and nearer, ev
cry year, to answering the purposes of
= universal language. England has
uohe much to make it familiar through
an 'he world. and at present the Unit
eo states is doing more. It vii, now

pines. Porto Rico and Cuba. and the
wonderful growth of our commerce Is
making it more familiar in all foreign
lands. Just as Latin was once the
common language Of all scholars and
French the language of diplomacy, so
now English has become the language
Of commerce and the language which
stands the traveller in best stead in all
parts of the world. The future of the
Enslish-speaking race is 50 bright
that there is every reason to believe
est to solving the problem of Il uni
versal language that can ever be ex-
