News of the sudden death of Senator
Marcus A. Hanna comes as sad shock
this week to American people as whole.
His political associates, within the con-
fines of the republican party, of course
have sustained loss that the supporters
of the opposition naturally are unable
to adequately realize. To say that
Senator Hanna was statesman beloved
by the whole people, irrespective of
party, would not be the truth. He was
a man who recognized and sought the
welfare of party rather than the esteem
of the people. His craftsmanship was
of the kind that carries into politics
practical businessideas. Death came to
him at time when his future in politics
pointed out the possibility of presi-
dental nomination in the republican
convention this summer. What effect
the passing of Hanna may have on the
organization of the forces of that party
in the present campaign it is not for lis
to foretell. That he was it's leader is
acknowledged and broad minded pub
lie recognize that his full worth was not
appreciated fully by the masses.

The New York American

The New York American very per
tinently asks its readers to compare the
prices of anthracite at the mine with the
prices they pay. The governments re
pert shows that the average price at the
mine for ton of anthracite coal was
Sill in 1898, s1.46 in 1899, s1.49 in 1900
81 CT in 1901. and s1.96 in 1902. Thi. is
an increase of over 80 per cent within
five years. In 1898 the price of ton OF
bituminous coal at the mine was sc
cents: in 1899, 81 cents: in 1900, s1.O4
in 1901, $1.O5: in 1902, SLIP an increase
of 40 per cent in five years. Monopo.
lists have been allowed to fix prices by
private agreement and railroads have
been permitted to discriminate in their
freight charges. That is why coal is
constantly rising in price at the mine
and why there is such tremendous
jump from the prices there to the sum
the consumer pays.

A COMPILATION Of statistics gathered
by the North Dakota section OF the u.
S. weather bureau gives the following
interesting data rs to the extremes Of
weather in this state during 1903. The
highest temperature recorded was 1O6
degrees on July Oath at Napoleon, N. D.,
the lowest 40 degrees below zero At
Dunseith, N. D., on February 10th.
Average rain and snow precipitation
over the state during the year 1903 was
1890 inches, which is nearly one inch
above the normal. The heaviest rain
fall for the year was recorded at Oak
dale in Stark county and amounted to
1902 inches: the least amount, 1918
inches being ut Nianewalkon, in Benson
county. The heaviest rain fall of any
one month in the year was recorded at
Oakdale in Stark county in May the
precipitation being 1888 inches. The
average depth Of snow for 1903 is shown
as having been 30 inches. Observations
show that the wind generally prevailed
from the northwest during the year and
that its greatest velocity was in storm
on May 22nd when at Williston it was
recorded as blowing at the rate of Sc
miles an hour. The number of clear
days are shown as averaging over the
state 1876, partly cloudy IS, cloudy 118.
The number of days on which rain fall
was recorded is shown rs being 66.

ABOUT SCHOOL TEACHERS.

From all parts of the country comes
the complaint of dearth of school
teachers. The complaint is especially
insistent in the west, but it is also heard
in the east. Teachers of a certain sort
are always to be had, but the supply of
the kind of teachers that the more en-
lightened educational authorities would
like to employ does not seem to be keep
ing up with the demand. The inference
is that well-trained and energetic young
mon and women, who in other days
would have taken up teaching as TEN
porary calling, are finding an outlet for
their talents in other directions. Per-
haps glance at the latest annual re-
port of the Commissioner of Education
will help to make it clear why this is so.
In 1902 there were employed in the pub
lie schools of the United States 439, 596
teachers, of whom 1882 were men and
3l7,2O4 women. In 1870 the percentage
of men teachers was Al: in 1890 it was
34.5: in 1902 it had fallen to 27.S. The
average monthly salary of men teachers
in the United States in 1902 was trifie
over $50, while the average woman
teacher received something less than $40
month. The aggregate expenditure
for schools in the United States in 1870
was less than s7OOOOO00: in 1902 the
aggregate expenditure was over $685.,
100000. The number of pupils in daily
attendance on the public schools in 1870
was about 100000 and in 1902 nearly
100000 an increase in thirty two years
of 175 per cent. AS the increase in the
aggregate school expenditure during the
same period was 1851 per cent, it is
evident that the increase in salaries has
not kept pace with other school expenses
by 6O.7 per cent. Either fewer teachers
are employed in proportion to the num-
Der of pupils, or the average teacher is
getting less money than was the case a
generation ago. If the people of this
country are to maintain the lead that
they have taken in the industrial pro-
gress Of the world they must make their
schools better and better. and they can
not do this without employing the best
teachers that are to be had. and they
cannot get the best teachers. with the
cost of living steadily rising, unless they
are willing to pay at least as good wages
as those of the average clerk and
mechanic.

ACCORDING to a recent decision by
Judge Fisk the pure food law does not
affect the socalled box car merchants.
The latter may continue to sell their
adulterated food products in this state
and are protected by interstate COM
merce rules. That is to be regretted.
Nevertheless the publicity afforded by
our state law is protection to the pub
lie, and the citizen who will persist in
buying from the irresponsible hawker
does SO in spite of timely warning and
must expect to be swindled.

The appearance of the Cavalier Cour

The appearance of the Cavalier Coun-
ty Clipper, may be looked for IN a few
days. Its location at Empireis conceded
as being one of the best prospective
townsites along the line, when the Ed
more branch of the Ct. Northern is ex-
tended next summer. Editor Meyers
who is back of the venture, in selecting
Empire has found one of the best little
towns in the state, which will hustle and
get up when the road comes. The
future outlook for the town of Empire
and its newspaper, the Clipper, we con-
slider as very fattering indeed.
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1904-02-18

Two disturbing clements on the hori-
zon of republican politics in North
Dakota have already doomed into view.
The first is new paper to be started at
Grand Forks on purpose to buck the
the Herald. 1t is to be an evening daily
and it is understood that Senator Bacon
and Committeeman Cooper will stand as
sponsors at the christening. The paper
is to have as its editor B. o. Seymour,
who at present is publishing the Courier
across the river on the east side. Ru-
NOR has it that he transfers his plant to
the North Dakota side of the bridge for
a consideration of $500. A campaign
daily paper with such an aggregation of
wealth as this in it's capitalization is
not very likely to receive more than
passing notice from the Herald. The
other campaign organ to emerge
from the political incubator is the Man
dan Republican, which put in its ap-
pearance last week and starts in to mix
it up with Tuttles paper, the Mandan
Pioneer, the self-ackaowledged gang
organ of republicans lon the Mis-
souri, slope. It's movements at the start
are about as aggressive rs those of the
Japs in the far east, with every outlook
that some one will have to take licking
before the campaign closes. The record
made by these two papers is hardly like
ly to create greater unaminity in party
feeling and it will be fun to watch their
antics from this side Of the fence.

ALMOST every day you hear something
of the sub rosa order in political gossip
around town as to the making up of
states for county ticket in either one
or the other of the two parties. The
political situation is beginning to warm
up. Already several persons have signi-
fed their intention to run for the various
nominations, but are not just yet ready
to make public announcement of their
intentions.

service on this branch line it might be
as we'll to observe the wretched service

In is now learned that Grand Forks i.
the latest North Dakota city to he
scheduled for fine new depot by the
Northern Pacific railroad. the plans and
specifications of which have already been
completed and the work will begin in
the spring. Wouldn't new depot look
good in Langdon just for change:
But then Langdon is handicapped by
not having railroad competition like

WHERE'S THE ADVANCE AGENT?

The advance agent of prosperity, who
is supposed to be the presiding genius
of the republican party, seems to have
missed his train Or to have got off his
route. The monthly statement of the
public debt from Washington shows
that the national obligation increased
nearly 81 100000 during January. This
is not in itself SO singular, because tho
principal of the public debt may rise
and fall irregularly, according to I'M
usual demands. But it is very i'm
portant fact that the expenditures fol
the month of January exceeded the re-
csipts by nearly 100000, leaving a
deficit of that amount for the month
President Roosevelt has just declared
himself in favor of general service pen
sion act, principal feature of which
is the amount which it will cost the
country. There is something to be said
in favor of the principal of the pro-
posed legislation, but of course the first
inquiry should be as to its cost. No
body knows or can even give reason
able guess of what addition it would
make to our national expenses and to the
pension roll that already runs from
sl4OOOO,OOO to s15O,OOO.OOO. The small
est estimate made by those who favor
the bill is an increase of from 100000
to s60OOO,OO0 in the pension appropria-
ton. A more liberal. but still conser-
vative estimate fixes the additional cost
at probably not less than S1OO,OOO,OOO.
Now, at the same time, extravaganza
is running riot in every department of
the republican administration. There is
not one work of economy that has been
effected or is even proposed. The cost
of the rural free delivery has already
mounted into millions and is doubling
about once during the life of each con-
gress. The thefts and frauds in the
post Office department amount to much
more. Every appropriation bill is swol-
len beyond precedent. just as soon as
the present election is over we will have
river and harbor bills and suadry civil
bills carrying s1OO,OOOO,OOO, in addition
to big appropriations for the army and
navy, and for everything else under the
sun. Besides this We are paying
100000 at once for tho Panama canal
and e1O, 10000 to the alleged republic
of Panama, and everywhere millions of
dollars are flying through the air.
It could ct least be understood that
this was not fatal while there was a big
surplus on hand. Though We were
throwing money right and left, we had
it to throw, and the public was not too
critical. The existence of deficit that
= climbing skyward Ut every step
