A Typographical SURVEY.

The Agricultural Department at Wash
ington in correspondence with Prof.
Worst of the N. D. Agricultural College
at argo have signified their willingness
to make government Typographical
survey of the six Red river valley coun-
ties, for the purpose of establishing levels
and other data necessary to systematic
drainage. The estimated cost of such a
survey is 5000, of which the govern
ment ask the interested counties to pay
one half, or about 500 for each county.
The matter has been brought before the
board of comissloners of this county at
the present meeting by letter from Prof.
Worst urging the board to take action
Immediately, as the department, desires
to make out its years work as soon as
possible.
The County Board took some informal
action in this direction last summer look
ing toward to similar survey at county
cost, and of course if this survey will
serve the same purpose and will save
cost they are likely to make the appro-
priation.
There are some things in the letter Of
the engineer of the A. ricultural Depart.
ment published in1the Fargo Forum that
seem to the board little inconsistent

AN OASIS IN THE DESERT.

In connection with the decision de
claring the biennial elections law un-
constitutional and void, a few words
to their credit are due three supreme
court judges who unanimously concurred
In the opinion.
That the proposed abolition of off-year
elections in Nebraska was I'm direct con-
travention Of the express provisions of
the constitution was recognized at all
times, even by the promoters and bene-
flciaries of this legislation. To estab-
lish its constitutlonality It was ad-
mlttedly necessary for their attorneys
to persuade the court to hold that the
constitution does not mean what it
plainly says.
Under ordinary circumstances the at
tempt would not even be seriously made
TO uphold law so palpably in violation
of constitutional mandate. Why, then,
was the proposition seriously enter
tained2 1t is simply because those be-
hind the biennial elections law de-
pended upon the self interest of the
judges to turn them from the straight
path of duty. The law which the court
was asked to sustain in spite of its
conceded unconstitutionality held out to
each Of the judges a year Of service on
the bench additional to the term for
which he had been elected. The cham
pions Of the biennial elections law would
not for moment have thought of ap-
preaching the judges with a bribe of
$1,000 apiece, yet they had the temerity
to ask for q decision overturning the
fundamental law Of the land because it
held out to them years salary of $500
without the trouble and expense of seek
ing n reelection at the polls.
Had any judicial officer shown a dis
position to accept this thinly yelled
bribe he would have lain himself justly
open to unmeasured censure. In vim
dicating the constitution the members of
the court are, to be sure, doing nothing
more than observe faithfully their oaths
Of Office to uphold and defend it, but in
these days of broken promises and dis
regarded obligations 1t is gratifying to
note striking example like this where
personal interest is subordnated to Of
fetal duty and respect for law. 1t stands
out like a refreshing oasis in the barren
desert

although it is a matter of notoriety that
while residing in Washington, appear to
be perfectly reconciled to the promisCu-
Gus use of the street railway cars 10y peo-
pie of all colors As a matter of fact, the
existing laws prohibiting discrimination
by railroads could be interpreted as pro-
hibiting exclusive cars for negroes at
second-class or third-class rates just as
much as would any law that might here
after be enacted. Even in slavery days
southern gentlemen and southern women
were obliged to endure the society Of
negro servants who were taken into the
first-class passenger coaches by their
owners, while the white slave masters
and overseers never disdained to ride in
the negro cars with their slaves when
ever they were being taken to market.
In reality the object of the "jim crow"
scarecrow is to furnish a preteXt to
southern congressman with corporation
procllvities to serve their masters. 1t is
doubtful, however. whether the rank and
file of the southern people can be STAN
peded by the threatened abolition Of the
"iim crow" car any more than the people
of Wisconsin can be frightened into re-
pealing the La Toilette railroad com

JAPAN AND THE pYILtpPINEs'

In an interview Il few days ago with a
correspondent of the New York Herald,
Justice Brewer of the supreme court was
asked if he had any fear that Japan will
endeavor to acquire the Philippines by
force of arms. lie replied that 1T is
very hard to say what Japan has up her
sleeve in the Philippine question" and
expressed the opinion that our govern
ment ought to sell the islands to Japan,
adding: II am strongly inclined to be-
lieve that we will either have to sell
them If we can or give them up when
we must" This expresses view that
is not uncommon, especially about the
national capital. We noted n few days
ago that some of our military and naval
officers were greatly concerned If not ac-
tually alarmed in regard to the future of
American interests in the far Pacific and
were urging that more warships be sent
there and that defenses at Manila be
strengthened. OF course all this anxiety
is due to the success of Japan, which it
is assumed will not be satisfied with
driving Russia out of Manchuria, but
will enter upon course of territorial
aggrandizement, with the Philippines as
a special object Of adventure.
Yet there is absolutely no substantial
ground for this view. On the contrary
every responsible utterance that has
come from Japan shows that the AIika-
dos government has not the remotest
thought of territorial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
and least of all of securing the Philip
pines, by force or otherwise. Japanese
statesmen have said more than once that
the possession of the archipelago by the
United States is entirely satisfactory to
them. 1t seems most unreasonable to
assume that Japan would make an
enemy of this country by an attempt to
take the Philippines which of course
would involve her in another costly war.
If she should propose to buy the islands
perhaps our government would consider
the matter, but she will hardly be in
condition to do this for q good many
years, as the United States would ask a
good round price. 1t is safe to say that
the Philippines are as safe from any at
tempt on the part of Japan to take them
as are the Hawaiian islands and GER
tainly no one will be foolish enough to
think that the latter are or will ever be
in any danger from that nower,

abuse the public mind of the idea that
beer promotes intemperance. The most

YACATION TIME.

To take a vacation in the good old
summer time has come to be u part of
our modern system of work and recrea-
ton. Where to go is the first question
and how to go the next.
Vacation trips have reached such re-
fnement that their very variety is often
bewildering. The vacation trip, too, is
more apt to be more eXhausting than
restful if one is not fully prepared and
equipped to do it justice and avoid the
unnecessary Inconvenience. The vaca-
ton can and should be made more than
an exodus from home to get rid of
everyday surroundings. The only way
it can be made so. however, is to go
about it intelligently instead of at hap
hazard.
The special articles which make this
issue of The Bee a vacation number
are designed to assist in planning and
executing the vacation trip. The an
nouncements Of our advertising patrons
are also directed along the same line, so
that it is a person hard to please who
cannot find something to suit his pc
culiar conditions and disposition.
