NOT GOOD.
Cheerful View Of Recent Storms in
the North.

First reports of losses in the great
storm Vi last week appear to have
been exaggerated and from the stock
men who have been interviewed the
past few days it appears that not on
ly in Fergus county, but in almost
every sec,ion OF the state, the bene.
fits will outweigh the losses, says the
Fergus County Argus.
Moisture was sOrely needed in al
most every section of the state; in
portions of Fergus county grass HI .
not even started and water holes were
dry; in fact the prospect for fat stock
and big crops was very poor. This
needed moisture has now been sup
piled, and while it is to be regretted
that it could not have been distributed
yer several weeks, thereby avoiding
the losses which have occurred, we
must all accept the situation and it
is we'll that after striking a balance
the profits are found to exceed the
losses.
In instances crops will have to be
replanted; from fifteen to twenty-five
per cent OF the lamb increase is lost
and probably ten per cent of the spring
calves. But good crops, fat cattle
and sheep are now reasonably insured
and the prices secured next fall will
be found to give a larger percentage
of profit than had the storm not oc-
Cured.
A prominent w~oolgrower is reported
to have said: ut is a good thing;
Fergus county ranges are now fully
stocked and had the usual 100 per
cent of the lambs been saved and
prices not been good next fall nearly
all the growers would have attempted
to winter a much greater number
than is warranted, while now sheep
will be fat, bring better prices and
bands will be reduced to a point OF
safety"
One effect of the storm will doubt
less be further delay of three weeks
to a month in the completion of the
Montana railroad to Lewistown. Al
ready the congestion of freight at
is such that weggel rates
have taken a big jump and it seems
certain that stocks will become
quite depleted before it is possible
to bring in the goods now awaiting
overland shipment. I

THE MODERN CENSUS.
A Decennial Snap Shot Of the Nation
For the Benefit Of All Time.

Since 1890 the area of the United
States has increased from S27, 844 to
1862 3aa3 square miles; the number Of
counties has increased from 3O7 TO
2,aG,, and the total population has i'll
creased from 3.a:.,9,214 to 5000, 1897, or
nin%ctecnfold. There are four states
EACH possessing, in 1900, a population
elca,er than that of the entire nation
i'll l..0. ut which time two of the four
Nn.sa an %untroGaen wilderness. The
NIL. t,Sr of cities with Il population of
H,Bu0 or oyer has increased from 6 to
GAG. and the number with a population
ct 5000 or owe from , to 161. There
are now 80 cities having a population
exceeding 100000, and 3 of these have
over 100000 each. In 1900 the record
OF q. :,.tal. wages and value of products
OF manufactures rises to figures al
most beyond comprehension. The capt.
tai in.ested was $3,S4G,62 .5G4; the
salaries and wages paid amounted to
s.. ]. ,55.4s30.S4S, and the value of prod
ilcJs was $13, O39, 27y,566. In agricul-
ture the figures are almost equally i'm
prcSs.ve. The total Salue of farms in
y y was $16,G74,Uuo, 247, and that of
agricultural products in 1899, $4,739,-
us, 1852. To gather and collate such
stupendous figures not only with &C
curacy, but so swiftly that the record
Of population in 1900 appeared as
quickly as did the little report of the
first census, was a task of the first
magnitude. 1t was indeed an evolu-
ton.
Such is the modern census. It is a
d%ecennial snap shot of the nation for
the benefit of all time. Patrick Henry
declared that there was but one lamp
by which his feet We're. guided-experi-
ence. But so important has the study
of facts become that statistics present
ing the facts analysed and classified
are the lamp which guides the states

FOUNDATION OF PATRIOTISM.



Men must live, if they would live at
all, by Faith. That is to say, they must
live for something above and beyond
themselves, which they have not now.
but hope to have some day. Looking
backward, they recognize a Creator,
and looking forward they expect to
reach an ultimate happiness. Reason
teaches this, and natural faith exists
in men more or less according to the
quality of the intellect. But grace
comes to the aid of nature, and revela-
ton to reason and throw their light
and power athwart mems minds and
give them those clear ideas of their
origin and destiny and the various
links between that make up what is
known and recognized as Christian
faith. All these lessons may be sum-
med up in our duties to God and to
law of love and obedience to God and
the law of love and respect toward our
neighbor.
While recognizing individual rights
our Lord acknowledged civic duties as
well, and said, "Giye TO Caesar the
things that are Caesars" and the
apostle but echoed His sentiments
when he babe men obey and respect
their rulers. Rulers rule in place II
God and are responsible to Him, who
will hold them to strietest accountable
ity. Our Lord did not violate but re-
~ 1aZ
which He lived Our rulers are to be
honored for the office they hold and the
good they may do through it; for they
are intended for the common veal A
God-fearing man makes a good citizen,
because he keeps the human law that
he break not the divine. Faith, there
fore, is the true foundation of patriot
ism.
The bulwark against anarchy is that
which stands up for God and that
which represents him-law and order;
it is the barrier against socialism, be-
cause 1t protects the individual lr his
rights and property. Love of country is
co-relative with love Of God, and piety
and patriotism are the ideals held up
for Christian practice. True and last
ing patriotism can only be found where
God is loved and adored; for true pa
triotism must be built upon higher
authority than that which we behold
on God. therefore; and for longer
existence than that which this world
gives us-on eternal life.
1t Is conscience that must guide and
control human acts. Only those who
are ruled by conscience can be counted
upon to do their duty under all condi-
tons and circumstances There are
those who have natural virtue, and who
do much through it. but this will not
stand the test of time nor the changes
of fortune Public good will be sacri-
feed to private interests, and he WHO
lives not for God. but himself. will
serve self rather than serve his country
when there is no other alternative
Let us all therefore by our public
spirited, patriotic course in our public
life give the right hand of fellowship
to all our fellow citizens and be ready
to defend our flag against any one
who would dare to insult 1t or dim its
glOries.
