OUR NATIONAL ANTHEM.

The navy department having is
sued an order declaring the "Star
Spangled Banner" the national an
them it will necessarily. supercede
"America" which has heretofore had
precedence though neverer having
been officially recognized-simply
by reason of popular adaptation
The argument that has been urged
against "America" is that it was
taken from England's national air
and was objectional for that reason.
However the "Star Spangled Ban.
ner," says musical critic, is open
TO the same criticism of originality.
This writer says:
s"The Star Spangled Banner"
comes from an old drinking song
that was popular with the jewellers
in London taverns in 1910. Later
it was adopted by Masonic lodges
and with other words was used in
their ritural, Then it dropped out
of use in England and travelled
across the ocean. Its firsS patriotic
setting was made by Robert Treat
Payne in 1898, his song being emit
tied Adams and Liberty A few
years later this music did duty as
campaign song under the title of
Jefferson and Liberty"
1t was in 1914, on the eve of the
bombardmeut of Fort McHenry
that Francis Scott Key set to this
air the present words, and for nine
decades they have been sung with
fervor by Americans. When it is
played in military posts or on a
warship, the men uncover in salute
and remain in attention till the last
bars die away. 1t is pretty GUS
tom and has closely identified this
music with the military arm of our
government. Az the writer says,
despite the fact it is not original
with us, we have had it so long that
it il now clearly belongs to US and
its recognition by the navy depart.
ment gives it official standing. 1t
has outliyed many compositions
that have especially made to replace
it and that are now forgotten. So
Shen you want to sing the National
sem tune your voice to tks.1

HOW ABOUT A CREAMERY :

Fessenden News: The county in
North Dakota that dcesen't adopt
the system of diversified farming and
dairying is bound to become laggard
in the progression of progress His.
tory has repeated itself time and
again. and will ever continue to do so,
in that the dairy farm and creamery
are two of the greatest stepping stones
which ultimately lead to success, and
make community prosperous. The
farmer who keeps a few cows and
sells the cream to, the creamery, is
sure to find at the end of the 'year'a
fine balance on the credit side of his
ledger.
The prevailing low prices of grain
and other farm products have caused
many farmers in the northwest to de-
vote more attention to dairying.
Under present conditions, dairying
in connection with CO. operative
creameries, provided they are properly
built and operated, lis the most reli-
able and profitable branch of farming
that can be pursued in the northwest.
In some sections Of Minnesota the
establishment Of cooperative cream
cries has changed tho character Of the
whole community.

RESERVATION OPENING.

Crary Courier: An effort is again
being made to have the Devils Lake
Indian reservation opened for settle
ment. It should be done. Some Of
the best land in this part of the coun-
try is included within the borders OF
this reservation. If opened for settle
ment it would be at once homestead
ed by energetic people who would
cultivate the soil and make what is
now practically barren desert, bios
som like the rose. While it is in
the possession of the Indian, it will
never be other than half farmed
country. Nor by this do we mean a
single word Of injustice to the prim-
tive owners of the domain. We
have always recognized the fact that
a great and prosperous nation has
sprung up in the land Of a race,
which by the very law-that of pos
session which is most sacredly cher
ished by those who recognize the
principles of English Jurisprudence,
owned with an indisputable title,
every acre of the continent from
ocean to ocean. And when the noble
race of Sioux fought the pale face for
their homes and wigwam fires, they
did what every patriotic race in tie
history Of the world has done, and
the Judgment Of future ages will be
accordingly. But the Indian is not
an agriculturalist. The God of Ma
ture did not intend him for such, and
the laws Of nature can no more be
changed 80 as to make him one, than
they can bs changed so az to make a
Circassian beauty out of Mississippi
coon. We we're born and reared on a
farm, and as boy we knew every
foot Of our fathers plantation SO we'll
We could find any shade tree in it
with our eyes shut. But with all
that knowledge we would never have
made a tiller of the soil. The work
was the barrier to our success. So
it is with the Indian. The govern
mont should place him some place
whore he could follow to some extent
at least, the avocations for which
both by inheritance and environment
nature best fitted him. It is not too
much that the 1ndina should be kept
in comparative ease by the govern
ment, especially so when we recall
the fact that we are the usurpers Of
his lands, his home and his rights.
Rather this, than that he should be
compelled by our generosity to sup
port himself after we have robbed
him. Such is the generosity of the
highwayman after he has taken our
purse. This may not be the recently

The tables were set in the main hall
in the figure Of i cross, the table
decorations being entirely in yellow

W hich had been chosen by matching
shakesperian quotations, marched in
to the artisticallys arranged banquet
hall. Five courses we're served.
After the meat course Mrs. T.
Thorson. president Of the club, called
for toasts. Mr.. Middaugh cleverly
responded May all single men be
married and all married men be hap
py." Mr.. POWELL responded -" Our
town, the best in the land; let him
that don't like it leave it, The dim
ner was resumed and after the follow
ing course, the toast mistress called
the gentlemen present who graciously
responded Here's health for the
future; sigh for the past; who can
hope and remember AMI love to the
last. y Mr.. Merrick- May Dame
Fortune smile on you, but never her
daughter Miss Fortune. Mr.. Goer
-" Here's to love, the only fire
against which there is no insurance.
The several toasts brought forth
many enconiums otNpraise. ss.
Miss Adamson presided at the piano

words presented their past president,
Mrs. A. M. Powell, with hand some
pearl and opal ring, as evidence of

A HOT ONE.

Wahpeton Globe: The district
judges and the bar association Of the
state have oragnized q plan to increase
the number of judicial districts and
to increase the salaries of the judges
from $3, 500 to a, 500 per year. Some
Of tho judges, particularly those pre-
siding over the Second, Fifth and
Sixth districts have large districts to
cover, and they say they can't do the
work and have all the time they
needed to manage the politics of their
districts and do the necessary visiting
east and west. It is noticed, how
ever, that whenever a judgship is in
sight every lawyer in the district
wants it, and no howl is made at the
time about the salary.

PELICAN u, POINT.
A. Important Meeting Held to Discuss
u. the Grade.

~ - the Grade.
The business mems club held
meeting Tuesday evening at which
the board of county commissioners
were invited to be present, the object
being to discuss the Pelican Point
bridge question. As previously stat
ed, in these columns, a competent
engineer has recently carefully gone
over the ground and made soundings,
and finds that the grade can be put in
first class condition for about $9. :
600. The commissioners have agreed
to make an appropriation of 40 per
cent of the cost, or 81, 200. The bal
ance must be raised by private sub
scription. About 81, 300 has already
been subscribed by the business men.
and it is thought the Great Northern
may be induced to contribute $500 or
$500. A committee of five consist
ing of Alderman Cockburn, Attorney
Townsend, Postmaster Daeley, Bank
er Baird and Alderman Mann were
appointed with full power to negoti-
ate with the commissioners, and if
possible arrange to make available at
once the money from the county, the
object being to get the work started
as soon as possible.
| The completion Of the Pelican
Point grade means much to Devils
Lake and Ramsey county. There are
some so, 600 acres of land belonging to
the heirs of deceased Indians which
is now subject to sale to actual set
tiers. At low estimate this land
| is, worth SO an acre, which means a
half million dollars to be divided
among the numerous benefciaries liv-
| ing across the lake. This amount of
money will make many of the Indian
families independent, tand the compile
tion of the grade will enable them to
make Devils Lake their trading point.
There is a strong probability also that
the Fort Totten bill will be passed at
this session of congress, and this will
add about $50, 900 more to the cash as
sets of the Indians. This in addition
to the large number Of new settlers
who. will suon be locating on the In
dian lands, makes it Of the greatest
Importance to establish good and
permanent connection across the lake,
such as the Pelican Point grade will
| afford.
