To the citizens of North Dakota:
Under the law passed through the
efforts of Senator H%ansbrough there
has accumulated in the national
treasury nearly So, 600, 900 to the Gre
dit of North Dakota for irrigation
purposes. If this is not called for by
the state the secretary of the interior
can allow it to be temporarily used in
other states.

kota where such experiments can be
tried with every probability of sue

able property in North Dakoa at least
$50, 900, 900 and will therefore benefit
all sections Of the state:
Unless concerted action is; taken
this money will be- used elsewhere:
We therefore deem it best to call a
state convention at Bismsaa ok, N. D.,

and 81, and ask for a. full representa-
tion of all interested in the state.
All, state officers; United States

of the various political stats COM
mittees, county and city officials, in
Guiding county commissioners will be
accorded membership in said con-
vention by virtue of their Office. the
.chairmen of the various. political
committees for each county are also
entitled to seats and a voice in said
convention. Each board of county
commissioners is also allowed' to ap-
point five Or more delegates, and each
city mayor, commercial organization
aud state educational institution is
asked to name two or more delegates.
It is the desire to make this con.
vention representative Of the best in
terests of North Dakota in every res
pect. The delegates from North Da-
kota, to the National Irrigation con-
gpess will have an interesting report
to make and one that will be of value
to the state. Many prominent speak

FRIDAY, OCT 2, 1903.

The announcement made yesterday
that there was a desire on the part of
President Roosevelt to have Senator
Fairbanks for a running mate on
the Republican ticket will meet a
hearty response everywhere. The Pre-
sident has done one thing for the posi-
tien of vice president that should give
him lasting: fame, did he have moth
ing else to give him such. He has
SHOWN that it is not the political dead
shelf. For years men shrank from
the position, because it meant obi
WIN A few attempted to change the
reputation, but failed. Morton tried
and went down in defeat. Hobart
proved himself a great man, but death
prevented him from proving his true
worth. Arthur dropped out of sight,
and is now almost forgotten. These
thing are not in accord with tho ideas
of the founders of the government.
They were seeking to prevent a vac.
ancy in the Office of chief executive.
There must be a successor to do this
He was provided for in the vice presi.
dency, and then, that he might have
some active work while a public Off
cial, it was decided that he should
preside over the senate. But this was
q secondary thought with the trainers.
of the constitution. The primary
one was that he should DO an expect
ant president. Such being true, it
can readily be seen why it is neces-
sary to have a man thoroughly quail
fed to fill this position. But the other
work of presiding over the senate
cannot be overlooked. The dignity
of this body has made it one of the
most respected assemblies of the world
and much ct this dignity and decorum
is the result of the presiding officer.
Senator Fairbanks can fill this posi-
tion with dignity and honor. He is
thoroughly conversant with its rules
and procedure, and could easily pass
from the floor to the chair. Then
should it become necessary for him
to pass to the chief magistracy, his
able craftsmanship and knowledge
of the government would enable him
to fill the same as we'll as the cher.

AS SEEM stTHAT MINNESOTA

Way out IN the enterprising town
OF Webster, a. crowd of happy go

- PERSONS AND THINGS ~
As Seen by Gath.

Funny how a monkey will attract a
crowd. Some people are that way.
Yesterday when the minstrels were
giving their afternoon parade a train
ed monkev-a different species from
that usually seen in this city-was
the star attraction. The street was
full of people The work of getting
out the best paper in the state was
suspended and the whole force took a
look, all but Gath. Someone re.
marked that he remained behind and
looked at himself. It is pretty tough
on the individual to believe that our
ancestors were once Simians, but the
actions of those animals are really
humna like. A monkey can get a
hearing when newspapers and states
men fail.
"Did you ever study the character
of persons from their chirography 2"
asked one man of another at the desk
in one of the city hotels the other day.
That set Gath, who is always around
where he is not wanted-to thinking.
Look I'VE the daily register in a hotel
and study the handwriting. Here is
a nan who writes a smooth, running
hand. He used lots of fiattery.
Here is another who is all 1ourishes.
That fellow is a blockhead Another
writes a cramped, rough hand. He
lacks brains. That's the kind Gath
uses. Can't help it. That fellow
who wrote heavy and strong, has lots
of ability, is firm, and reliable.
That perpendicular scrawl was witt
ten by a woman, and it takes a wiser
one than Gath to tell anything about
her.
Yesterday, a good friend of the
Inter Ocean, and who attends to the
wants Of the inner man in a manner
that makes the average man who
boards with his wife turn green with
envy, called us up over the telephone

Alaska Homestead Laws.

Tba new homestead land entry act Tor
Alaska Just put into effect ahoros an
excellept model for similar law IN the
limited States. 1t was framed in the
hpbt of all the experience with the tooi
land laws in this country. 1t was care
fully guarded toprotect the public lands
of Alaska from seizure by specuiators
and capitalists and to reserve them as
bomesteads for actual settlers. The law
nermits only homestead entries. NO
indemnity of lieu lands can be entered
and no land scrip or land warrant OF any
kind can be located in Alaska. No
single entry will be permitted to inciude
more than l6O rods along the shore line
OF any navigable water and no entry-man
can take more than l60 acres. There Is
no desert land act and no stone and TIM
ber act in Alaska and settler can com
mute only by having the land surveyed
at his own exdense and furnishing proof
OF bona tide residence. Squatters have
preference in making entries for ninety
DAYS, but all American citizens who have
not exhausted their entry rights may
take up homesteads in Alaska:

Eneland's Tariff Proposition.

Colonial Secretary Chamberlain pro-
poses departure for England which, if
adopted, would make a sweeping change
in that country's fiscal policy. He wants
Parliment TO allow him to tax food pro-
ducts OF various sorts and incidentally
to fight German and American trusts.
The scheme involves reciprocal trade
within the empire and duties on certain
articles which are produced chiefly by
the United States and Germany. A
regular system Of dnties, it is proposed
are to be adopted by England. but favors
are TO be granted to the imports from
England's colonies. in exchange for fav
ors granted by them 10 imports from
England. O..
This looks to be feasible program,
yet good many persons would be sur
prised il Parliment should adopt it.
True, Chamberlain's party has large
majority in Parliament. The scheme
which he has developed has apparently
been accepted by the ministry. What
c'ci 'iat oSdN ou
ment-and that must be considerable
will probably be exerted in favor OF this
plan. Moreover, the colonial secretary
is.himselfa man OF vast personal popular
ity on his side. He has done some
thins in the past few years which show
that he has a great deal Of sway over the
masses of Epplishmep.
But the Chamberlain program would
make an immediate and great increase
in the cost Of living to every Englishman.
Food would go up at once and even at
the present time food is not very low in
England. Cheap food for the masses
has been the policy OF the leading Bri
tish statesmen ever since Peel's time
That would have 10 be given up if the
Chamberlain plan should receive the
sanction Of Parliament. The scheme, OF
course, would be fought by every Liber.
al. The Irish party undoubtedly would
be against it. Many OF the Tories would
be very lukewarm toward it. The out
look, therefore, in Parliament for the
project is not very bright. Yet the
colonial secretary is hard and ssIllful
fighter and be usually. sooner or later,
sccomplishes his purposes--Ex.
