ANOTHER sign ofthe political upheaval
which i. now being experienced in the
state republican camp is manifested in
the case of Col. Lounsberry, the special
agent of the general land office. who is
being investigated for Irregularities.
Col. Lounsberry is said to have shown
official favors to certain parties and in
return accepted the favor of little cash
on some stock in his Fargo magazine.
which he admits is Of little or no value
at this time. This is the charge against
him anyway. but many think that the
Colonel will get off scot free. same as
Major Murphy did two weeks ago.

WE frankly confess that We cannot
conceive of more miserable ''flunll'
on the part of president from whom
so much was expected in this particular.
Given the additional antitrust legisia-
ton for which he asked. and 100000
with which to enforce it. Roosevelt has
not begun suit of any kind against any
one of these corporate robbers. gives no
explanation of his failure to act. asks for
no more legislation and then has the
gall to ask the permission of congress
to divert from its original purpose the
100000 that was appropriated last year
for the prosecution of the trusts.

CHRISTMAS SENTIMENTS.
Christmas time.

1t is good thing to observe Christina
Day and in keeping with the time honor
cd custom the DEMOCRAT wishes its
many readers and patrons Merry
Christmas and many of them.
Even the mere marking of times and
seasons when men agree to stop work
and make merry together is wise and
wholesome custom. 1t helps one to feel
the supremacy OF common life over the
individual life. 1t reminds man to
set his own llttlc watch now and then
by the great clock of humanity.
But there is better thing than the
observance of Christmas Day and that
is keeping Christmas.
Are you willing to forget what you
have done for other people and to re-
member what other people have done
for you: to ignore what the world owes
YOU and to think of what you owe the
world: to put your rights in the back
ground and your duties in the middle
Aiol01CC OuO W OU likCl6 u1OE0 Vu0N
your duty in tho fore grounds
Then you can keep Christmas.
Are you willing to stoop down and
consider the needs and desires Of the
little children; to remember the weak
ness and loneliness of people who are
growing old: to stop asking how much
your friends love you and ask yourself
whether you love them enough: to trim
your lamp SO that it will give more light
and less smoke. and to carry it in front
of you, SO that your shadow will fall be-
hind you: are you willing to do these
things even for day?
Then you can keep Christmas.
Our wish to all is that your Christina.
may be one full of enjoyment. free from
every care and association of a bust
ness nature.
Let Christmas Day be the merriest
day of the entire three hundred and
sixty five and the approaching New
Year Happy one.

THERE may b something in the idea

fcated they figure that they will be we'll
rid of Teddy. In connection with this,
the st. Paul Globe says: "Ifevents move
anywhere near as rapidly in the next
six months as in the last six. tho repub-
lican leaders will change their tune
AGAIN. They will find that Roosevelt's
supposed popularity has 40 suddenly
and completely cvaporated that formal
opposition to him will invite no danger
In that case Senator Hanna would un-
doubtedly become candidate and be
nominated with ease. Meanwhile, the
obvious tendency of the party is to let
themselves drift. feeling equally hope
less of being able to defeat the presidsnt
in the convention without party dis
aster, or to elect him at the polls. 1t is
the part of practical politics under those
circumstances to give him all the rope
that he wants: and he is not only getting
it, but is using it for customary and
traditional purposes.

Here is the story of an Ohio lawyer
who did not become politician, as he
was not built on political lines. 1t is
told by a Washington man, who was
his clerk at one time. Lawyer b. was
a gruff sort of parsonage and believed
in making every one pay for every
service. One of his clients was the
president of a bank, who, during the
tendency of his case, dropped into the
lawyers office very frequently and
told stories. The lawyer was good
listener, and seemed to enjoy the
stories very much. but after the bank
er went out Lawyer B. would say:
Here. charge Mr.. - SO for an hour
of my time. If 1 have got to listen to
his stories he has got to pay me for
it," Finally, the bill was made out and
carried to the banker. 1t was an item
lied account, stating the date of each
call. He scanned it closely and re
marked:
ale has made me pay for it pretty
well, hasn't he?'
'Pay for whatY' asked the clerk.
"For listening to my stories"
And then he paid the bill.-Washing-

his sales ladies'; knows how much 1t
costs them to live and how they spend
their evenings. 1t is easy for him to
get the information not merely through
the store detective, but in many other
ways.
The buyer is, as a rule, a tolerant
person, who cares only for two things
namely, that the girls deliver the
goods e., that they make big
"books'-and that they appear respect

The Norwegian Costume.

1t is at church in Norway that the
national costume is best seen. In the
north the women wear short, dark
gowns, with fringed handkerchiefs
tied becomingly over their curly fair
hair, black ones for the matrons and
white ones for maidens.
In the south the old Norwegian
dress is often worn. 1t consists of n
short dark petticoat, with Il stripe of
bright colors, n full white blouse, and
a red bodice heavily embroidered,
while on Sundays a quantity of silver
pins and chains are added.
The headdress varies according to
the occasion and the wearer's social
condition. The girls wear jaunty red
caps, the married women a Golf made

UNIFORMS URGED
African Travellers Suggestions to
British War Office.


Writing on the subject OF "Invisibili-
ty In Soldiers Uniforms In War;" Mr.
Haywood W. Seton Carr, the well
known African traveller, points out the
desirability of soldiers being clothed III
uniforms of a color similar to that of
the country in which they may be OPP
Grating, says q special London cable
dispatch to the Chicago Inter Ocean.
In Europe, for instance, the aspect
of the country is usually green. while
in India or the deserts of Egypt and
Somaliland the suitable color would be
a yellow ocherous gray. Mr. Seton
Carr would have had English troops in
Somaliland clothed partly in the color
of the Somali desert and partly in
that of the mimosa trees, with which
the country is sparsely covered.
Another suggestion is TO vary the
shades of the same uniform-to make
the coat darker than the trousers. Mr..
Carr thinks that by experimenting on
these lines complete invisibility might
be achieved ultimately.
