we understand the matter, after case is
started in court the statute OF limitations
does not affect the case. In the case @o1
the county, also, the reason that the case
has been continued from time to time,
has probably been because the county
has been willing to wait until the fnal
dividends are paid so as to know how
much it wants the bondsmen to put up
We may be wrong in our ideas of the
statute of limitations, and if so, Editor
Hager will be able to make us right in
the matter.
Mr.. Hager is wrong in his statement
Of the amount paid in dividends by the
First National Bank. There has been
paid Is per cent instead of 60 per cent
and there is some more coming yet
There is now due the county less thar
8, 600, instead Of 6, 600 as stated by the
Times.
There was some state money in the
First National, which was also secured
by local bondsmen. If the Pollock de
cision goes in the supreme court, ther
they are free, as so far as we know ne
suit has yet been started to recover from
them.

In fight between Russia and Japan
the odds would not be SO greatly in the
'ormer's favor as her size would indicate.
Russia will have to fight at arms length
with only one hand free. She has too
many other interests to.take care of, to
use both hands. The Japs on the con-
trary occupy an isolated position close
to the scene of hostilties and can stand
on their own ground and reach out with
both hands, and will have nothing to dis
turb her attention from the enemy in
sight. Both Russia and Japan are in
need Of money with which to carry on a
war, but Russia will have to ask the
lewis of Europe to lend her money-and
of late she has not been treating the Jews
very WELL, On the other hand, while
England may not help Japan as a direct
ally in war, still she is enough interested
in the outcome, to see that the Japs have
plenty of cash with which to fight Rus
sia.

GOLD LIBERTY HALL.p

The Independent and The Times are
having discussion over newspaper
errors. Some months ago Bro. Hagel
intimated that he awaited with "baited
breath" the finish OF the Independent. A
couple of weeks since the Independent
located "Feniul Hall" IN Philadelphia.
In the discussion which followed the
latter error both edito1s seem to have
fallen into another ditch, as indicated by
the following extracts:
"He editor Wllson) fixed "Feniul''
hall in Philadelphia and had the bell O.
old Liberty Hail ring from the beltry ol
"Feniul" hail. Now no one supposes
that any American-bred boy of ten wear
old would SO far forget his history as to
locate Faneuil Hall anywhere but in
Boston, or that any lad of six who had
participated in couple of real Fourth of
July celebrations would fail to locate Old
Liberty Hall in Philadelphia."- Times,
22nd.
"The types sometimes get little mix
ed. In an editorial in last weeks Inde.
pendent .'Faneuil Hail" was confused
with the Liberty Hall"-but the point
was plainly evident" = Independent,
22nd.
owe acknowledge our error, which,
by the way. was corrected in last weeks
Independent, and shall endeavor to read
proof more carefully hereatter."-Inde.
pendent, 29th.
Which reminds of the old story of the
two members of Congress, one of whom
bet the other that he could not repeat
the Lords Prayer. The other gravely
and reverentiy repeated "Now lay me
down to sleep, etc., and the first paid
the bet with the remark II didn't think
you could do it,
Faneuil Hall, known in history as
f"The Cradle of Liberty" is located in
Boston. Independence Hall, trem which
rang ''Old Liberty Bell," is in Philadel-
phia-but "old Liberty Hall" IS a myth
take. 1.
There is moral in the above that all
editors and readers might note with
.benefit. All persons are liable to error.
Most people can hide their ignora ce. or
avoid errors by keeping their mouths
shut. Editors, from the nature Of their
business. must talk about everything
hence are much more liable to make err
rors than other people. Editors should
therefore be charitable to other editors.
Nevertheless anything worth a smile is.
worth observanc even = typographical
q historical lerror-but only IN the spirit
Of fun and as such his.

IS IT a PARALLEL cAsE7

A late decision of Judge Pollock, o
Fargo, is to the effect that in the case o.
4 he State Of North Dakota VS.. certain
o,dsmen Of the defunct Citizens Bank
II at the bondsmen were liable to the
state on the ground that the statute q
I limitations began to be in effect as soor
as the bank closed its doors; though the
attorney for the state argued that as the
bank had been paying dividends in the
meantime. that said statute did not begir
to take effect until the last dividend hac
been paid. s
In commenting on this decision, which
!. will probably be taken to the supreme
court, Editor Hager Of the Times, who

and says, that the case ofthis County VS..

of David Ritchfe, Fanny Scotch lad
who knew and admired Daniel Boone
and Andrew Jackson and was in him
self a very precocious and remarkable
youth. Very well. told is the story Of
the terrible Indian naaSsaeres and out

Kentucky, and very brave is David
Richie, who as a drummer boy to
Col. George Rogers Clark won fame
and name for himself.
The latter part of the book will be

and so have the colonies, and his love

in giving picture of the causes which
led up to the acquisition of that
Southern territory and gives us an
idea Of the hardships suffered by our
forebears in laying the foundation
Of our national greatness. The range
of territory covered is toe great to al
low of unity in the work, and the
number of characters introduced are
too many for the reader to keep in his
mind. "The Crossing" is really too
great to be dismissed with casual no
