Japanese Do Not Swear.

Many good things can be said of Japan and the Japanese, but nothing reflects more credit upon that people than the fact that profanity is vice entirely unknown among them. In answer to an inquiry on this subject, the Rams Horn gives this interesting information: "Very high and com potent authority asserts that it is true A writer in the Evangelist as- serts that there is in the Japanese language no word that is equivalent to an oath. Not only is there no na- tive word in which profanity may take refuge, but there is no import ed word. During the last ten years, foreigners have added thousands o1 new words to the language; but not one profane word. In this respect. Japan is believed to stand alone among the nations"

 stretching forth the body, getting a foothold, and crawling along with the sac dangling behind. This would seem awkward; and, indeed, the bag worm presents peculiar appearance crawling from limb to limb, and al- most pulled off by it's load of wood. In this way, though, it is not only sure of home, but the entrance is so constructed that the sides can be pulled together, thus affording pro- lection in time of attack. It seems strange, though, that when the bag worm is almost grown the sac hangs down from the body; when young, it is carried in a straight line with it.
 These caterpil1ars are naturally a source of much wonder to the na- tives of Cuba, who are superstitious regarding a worm which filters it's house with so much wood, and this in a country where fire for the sake of sEa-znt.h mot necessity. The old Spanish legend has fC.ehat bag worms are the incarnation Of indling thieves, who now, after death, must carry on their backs their load ot p1under, thus atoning for their thefts until they become moths.

At the edge of the town sits the customs officer, and on everything brought in there must be paid small duty. There is duty on eggs, bread, radishes, candy, etc. The officer even puts stick in the can of milk and feels around at the bottom to see if there may not be an onion or some potatoes hidden there. Many poor persons cannot pay the duty, as they receive very little fo1 the goods they bring to the market, so ther, is great deal of smuggling going on co stantlY.

this week a paragraph to the effect
that because Of an alleged error in
a law passed at the last session of
the legislature, the county COM
missioners whose terms Of office
expire with this year, would hold
over without appointment. In the
case Of such commissioners, no
election has been held in their
respective districts this year, as is
usually the case, because of the
aforesaid Legislative enactment.
The newspapers who determine
that such commissioners will hold
over and that an appointment will
not be necessary, r amateurs and
quibblers. In the district where
MI. Caddell lives in this county
for instance, he was elected for
three years, and his term is up on
the 3lst of December of this year.
No election has been held to fill
the vacancy caused by the expira-
ton Of his term of Office, and con-
sequently the board which fills
county commissioner vacancies in
the regular way, will be called on
to fill the vacancy in this district,
at its January meeting. The prop
osition that county commission
ers hold over in the event of no
election would be absurd, for if
that were true, they could per-
petuate themselves in office.
They are the officials required to
call elections, and all they would.
have to do to hold on forever,
would be to omit to call for the
election of county commissioners.

The Grand Forks Herald sup
ports it's position on the tariff
question by quoting Senator
Morgan of Alabama. It says that
the Alabama senator has never
been very strong for tariff revision
until now, and then the Herald
proceeds to give his reasons for
revision at this time, indorsing
those reasons without reserve.
Senator Morgan is a Democrat of
the deepest dye. BE is also the
leader of the movementin Alabama
to disfranchise the negro. He is
distinguished in the senate for his
extreme free trade views. The
Herald will find itself Endorsed
also in the speeches of one w. j,
Bryan if it will take the trouble to
look them up. The Inter-O Ocean
may be mistaken, but we doubt if
the Republican platforms Of next
year will quote approvingly from
either Senator Morgan or Mr..
Bryan. )

hoped that if the subject can be
kept out Of congress it can also be
kept out Of the next campaign,
and this is what is ::likely ato

Senator Nelson, Of Minnesota,
got a boom from the convention in
an Endorsement Of his bill'to create
a cabinet officer, to be known as
secretary of commerce and indus
tries. President Roosevelt, it has
been understood for some weeks,
would favor this bill in bis
message to congress.
Senator Hansbrough, of North
Dakota was deeply interested in
work Of the reciprocity convention.
| asked him to sum up the situa-
ton for northwest readers of The
journal, and here is what he said:
The resolutions .4showsEthat
American manufactures, have in
creased 80 per cent in ten years.
The convention was a non-partizan
gathering, otherwise it might have
been shown that this wonderful
growth had taken place chiefly
since the inauguration of the Re-
publican policy Of protection in
1897. The two free trade men,
bers of the committee on resolu-
tions refused to vote for the report
Of the committee-do not seem to
have even acquiesced in the
preamble, which set forth the
great increase in our manufacture
ing industries during the period
mentioned. In all fairness they
should have made a minority re-
port for the benefit of their fellow
free traders.
The outcome of the convention
is not a surprise to anyone who
has given thorough and impartial
consideration to the great question
of American trade. It cannot be
said that the convention was in-l
fuenced by those who believe in
the policy of letting we'll enough
alone. We knew what the result ,
would be. Senators and congress-

irrigation purposes, should the
good times continue.
Senator Hansbrough has had a
|good deal to do with this matter
His bill providing for an irrigation
fund to come from the sale of
pnblic lands will be introduced as
soon as congress meets. He will
press it through the committee
on public lands. which unani-
mously recommended it last winter
and get it on the senate calendar
at an early date in the session.
It is his belief that the bill will
become alaw this winter. Sena-
tors Lodge and Spooner are op-
posed to irrigation on the theory
that it might require too much
money, but it is said their opposi-
ton will not befactious or stubborn.
Senator Hansbrough was here
several weeks ago to see the presi-
dent about irrigation, and yester-
day he was here again on the same
question.
He is very confident that his
irrigation bill will become a law
during the forthcoming session Of
congress. He has gone over the
ground very carefully with brother
senators and with members of the
house, and finds that there is
practically no opposition to the
plan which he proposes, namely,
setting. apart the proceeds of the
sale of public lands for irrigation
purposes. Speaking Of the gen
eral subject of irrigation he says:
One Of the greatest problems be-
fore us is how shall we continue
to furnish homes for the hundreds
of thousands of people who are
annually pouring into the United
States. We must not forget that
the arabic public lands will soon
be exhausted. Heretofore the
great agricultural west has swal-
lowed the stream .of immigration
without much effort. Free homes
have been given to all those who
sought them. But the limit of
Uncle Sans bounty in this respect
will soon have been reached, and
the advance guard of land settlers
will stand upon the edge of that
great arid and semi arid territory
of the west where water is the in
dispensable element of success.
There are Is million acres in this
dry belt. Throughout the vast
area are mountain streams and
great rivers. What is needed is
the adoption of an intelligent
policy looking to the distribution
OF the waste waters passing
through these streams and their
utilization for agricultural, and
stock raising purposes. The as
sumption of such a POLICY on the|
part of the national government
would surely be in accord with ithe
general welfare clause of the::con-
stitution. State rights need not
be invaded, nor state laws in
fringed.
l believe the bill which I in&o-1
duced last session meets the de-
mand. I shall reintroduce it at
the opening of the coming session.
The measured has been most care
fully drawn and has passed the
scrutiny of able lawyers. It con-
vertssthe proceeds from the sales
OF public lands to a special irriga-
ton fund and puts the work Of
surveys and the location Of: reser-
voir sites under the secretary: Of
the interior. Its enactment into
law would open the way.to..s sys-
tenn under which a:million Of
people would be provided with
homes, thus relieving the conges-
ton in the great cities and adding4
