Citizens of Bismarck should not

Citizens of Bismarck should not
fail to see that the census of the
city is thorough. Assessors, busy
with other duties and feeling that
the valuation of property is a matter
of first Importance, are apt to place
the census taking as secondary. As
a matter of vital Importance this
relative position is doubtless the
proper one. But as a matter of civic
pride, and for the standing of the
city in the eyes of the state, it is
essential that the census be thorough.
The city could well afford to charge
some alert person with this special
duty and compensate him we'll for
the work. A census that will show
only part of the total population of
the city is not wanted-worss than
none at all. Steps should be taken
to insure a thorough count

In Minnesota, in the event that the
legislature passes the revised codes
and the two houses agree on the
amendments, the governor will have
three days to become familiar with
the code after it is enrolled and pre-
scented to him for signature. OF
course it is not to be supposed the
governor will be able ito inform him
self as to the law he signs, in the
event he signs it. No man could do
this in three days or in fact in three
months. The same thing is true in
a lesser degree of all legislative as
semblies and governors. Bills to the
number of several hundred, touching
a multitude of subjects and creating
much new legislation are presented
to the governor at the close of a
legislature and he is given Is days to
familiarize himself with the large
number of measures, and is of course
supposed to be responsible for the
quality that is permitted to pass
through his hands. When courts &C.
cupy weeks in passing upon a single
law or provision of law, it is not
easy to see how a man could be
expected in two weeks to pass upon
laws to the number of several hun
bred. He does, OF course, as far as
he is able, follow the legislation be-
ing enacted, and has at the close of
the session a good general idea of
the merits or dement's of. the bills
that reach him. So far as minor de-
tails are concerned, however, 1t can
hardly be expected that he can reach
them or correct all of them that may
not be exactly in accord with the
best public policy. r. Y.

There is an interesting and what
should be a profitable lesson in the
case of J. e. Lewis of Grand Forks,
sentenced to the penitentiary for
three years and half for embezzle-
ment and now serving his term.
Lewis was a comparatively young
man, well connected, of undoubted
ability, and possessed of a. splendid
opportunity for a great and prosper
GUS career. He had the confidence
of his employers, to such a degree
in fact that it was possible for him
to abstract $4,000 or $4,000 from
the funds Of the company without
arousing their suspicious. The ex-
act mental processes through which
he passed when he began upon his
career of dishonesty and the impulses
that swayed him from rectitude to
deceit and defalcation, it is not easy
to state or explain. 1t is probable.
however, that like too many young
men, he saw or thought he saw op-
portunities for profitable investment
| and availed himself of the resources
of other persons dishonesty to make
his investments. Probably at the
start he expected to be able to re-
pay what he took, but as is too fire.
| quently the case, ere very long he
became involved beyond the hope
Of repayment, and his efforts were
then devoted TO covering his fraud.
ulent transactions. The lesson in
his case is so plain as hardly to need
pointing out. It is the first step in dis
honesty-to yield to the first impulse
to use for whatever purpose money moi
entirely and honestly his, that leads
to the downfall Of any young mar
in position of trust. The chance,
of profitable returns and the oppor

with the funds of another are s,

Among the other works Of building
that will be in progress in and about
Bismarck the coming summer will be
two additions to the state penftenti-
airy buildings hospital building
and woman's ward. These build
ings are absolutely necessary to the
maintenance of the institution. The
prison population now far exceeds
the number of cells. Either some
provision must be made for the over
flow or an addition to the cell block
will be necessary. The hospital and
woman's ward buildings will permit
the inmates Of the institution who
are bedridden or in need of constant
care to be removed from the main
penal colony. This will not only
give additional room in the cell block
but it will be a matter of humane
advantage to the prisoners who are
ill. Penal institutions differ from
others in that applications for admis-
sion cannot be refused. The state

RENO, Aug. 3.-The long, bitter war
that has been waged for a century or
more between the Washoe and the Piute
Indians, two of the strongest tribes in
Nevada, was brought TO an end in Reno
to-day. Both tribes have declared peace,
agreed to forget the past and in honor of
the event will hold a big dance near here
beginning on the afternoon of August Is.
The dance viii last for six days, and In
dians from both tribes from every section
of the State will be asked to attend.
The peace arrangements were made be-
tween Captain Dave of the Piutes and
Captain Pete of the Washoes, both the
recognized leaders of their respective
tribes. They spent more than an hour to-
day talking over the details. 1t was the
first time the Indians had spoken since
the beginning of hostilities. The feud has
been handed down from father to son. In
the early days it resulted in a bloody war
nearly annihilating both tribes. In all
about 1000 Indians are affected.

JAPAN GAINING
CHINA'S TRADE
Great Britain and Other Ma
tiOnS Suffer Loss of
Commerce.

LONDON, Aug. 3.-The session in
the House of Commons this afternoon
was taken up with a discussion of the
foreign policy. Earl Percy, Under Sec
retary for Foreign Affairs, said that,
under the present circumstances, it was
impossible to discuss the changes in
the Far East that might be brought
about By the war or changes that it
might be desirable TO introduce in the
Anglo-Japanese alliance when it was
thought right to renew it. He noted
with satisfaction that all agreed upon
the desirability of renewing such an
alliance. He thought that the general
state of Europe presented no cause for
anxiety.
Reverting to the Far East, he said it
was true that, while Great Britain, in
common with other countries, was los
ing trade in China, Japan'S trade in
that country was increasing. Efforts
were being made to obtain fresh mar
kets in the interior, and China had
promised, if the Chinese were unable
to finance the proposed railroad through
the Yangtse Valley to Redstone Basin,
in the province of Szechuan, to apply
first to British and American capital to
build It, Great Britain, he said, was
now negotiating with France for the
Joint construction of the line.

LONDON. Aug 3.-The forthcoming
visit of a British fleet to the Baltic Sea
appears more than likely to mark the
beginning of more cordial relations be-
tween Germany and Great Britain in
stead. as has been suggested in some
quarters, of adding TO the friction now
existing. The proposed visit was known
to the German Foreign Office months
ago and suggestions that objections TO
il were raised by Germany were un
founded. Ernest George Prettyman.

reply to questions said definitely that
no protest regarding the visit Of the
fleet had been received.
Friendly comment on the pending
cruise from German Baltic ports creates

the announcement of Emperor Will
lianl's support of the candidacy of
Prince Charles OF Denmark for the

ACKNOWLEDGES
LETTER As HIS
Former Lieutenant Governor
of Missouri Takes Back
Denial of Former Trial
EPISTLE ONLY A BLIND
Witness Says He Did Not Re-
turn the $1,000, but Wished
to Hide the Transaction

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, Aug. s.
Former Lieutenant Governor John A.
Lee resumed his testimony to-day in the
trial of Senator F. H. Farris on the
charge of bribery Lees denial at the
former trial of Farris that he Uee)
wrote the letter sending the $1,000 in ques-
ton back to D. j. Kelley of New YORK,
representative of the baking powder in
terests, was taken UP in severe cross
examination by the defense. Several
checks from Kelley to Lee were intro
duced and identified, but were not ad-
mitted in evidence by Judge Davis, who
ruled that the inquiry should be limited
to transactions that took place in ST.
Louis.
This precludes the introduction of a
number of letters and checks which the
defense intended to offer as evidence.
When the cross-examniation was COM
pleted, the State took the witness on
redirect examination. Lee testified con-
cerning the letter purporting to return
$1,000 to Kelley, which at the former trial
he had denied writing, but yesterday ad-
mitted that he had written by saying
that he had written the letter because
he feared that there might be trouble at
some time and the letter was for the
purpose of covering up the transaction
concerning the conveyance of the $1,000,
but that he did not return the $1,000 to
Kelley.

Rulon S. Wells, w. ]. Tuddenham and
A. S. Barnes. Wells is one of the presi-
dents of the seventies and the other
two men hold minor church offices. The
ground on which the restraining order
was issued is that these three men, by
virtue of their membership in the Nor
mon church, are interested in the pro-
posed franchise, as the church owns
stock in the Utah Light and Railway
Company, and the president of the cor
poration, Joseph F. Smith, is also presi-
dent of the Mormon church.
The corporation has monopoly on

franchise is designed to consolidate
