A Word in Secret.

The President made one Of his char
acteristic speeches, but as one of the
rules of the Gridiron prohibits the pub
fishing Of any speeches at its dinners.
nothing can be said more than it was
greatly enjoyed by all who heard IT and
1t received a perfect ovation as he I'm
ished
It was quite late when the skit Of the
evening was brought on After the ap-
pIause had died away "a stout member
OF the club, resembling greatly Secre-
tary Taft. was noticed making his way
10 the well in front of the President,
and in his hands he carried what loked
ike a red-hot stove, labeled Cuba"
President Fearn raped for order and
inquired of the make-believe Secretary
what he was going to do with the
''junk" he was carrying.
The member replied:
This is the Cuban situation, and I
am going TO leave it CT the front steps
of the White H6use." and added I have
got to go back TO more peaceful things,
such as suspendIns orders about negro
troops. and i guess 'FH leave the Cuban
situation for you 10 settle" So saying
he put the red-hot stove down on the
floor and escaped before he could be
stopped.

A noise In one OF the ante-rooms
brought the query from the president
as TO the cause of IL and IL was an
nounced that q colored man outside was
trying 10 get IN 70 the dinner. He
stated that he had called at the White

that he must be punished by singing a

These days, a.. 3. Kerlin is.
one of the busiest men in Devils
Lake. He has several large en-
terprises on the tapis, all Of
which are important to the city.
One hundred such men as he in
Devils Lake and this city would
shortly give Grand Forks and.
Fargo a merry chase for suprena-
acy. And there is no better
business point for energetic, en-
terprising men than this city.
Tuesday Of this week a party Of
young ladies made up Of Miss
Jessie McLarty, Aurilla Maude
Dobbyn and the Misses Edna and.
Hazel Davis and VIM B. Davis
and wife, enjoyed q trip to Fort
Totten, the guest Of the genial
Captain Herman. They report
the trip as one Of the happiest Of
Chautauqua events. For obvious
reasons we will not publish the.
plimentary things the girls
say Of the gallant Captain Herman.
Out at the Deaf Institute
they do quite a little gardening.
And they have in about thirty
five acres of oats and millet.
The garden of eight acres looks
fine. It is expected that the gard
en- will fully supply vegetables
for the table at the Institute.
Forty three acres Of one hum
dred and forty under cultivation
is not a bad beginning. We
hope they will soon have one
hundredss and that the deaf boys
will be taught the dignity Of
ltilling the soil.
The Minot High School Band
paraded the streets Of Devils
Lake last Tuesday, giving while
they marched several choice
numbers. When the Band re-
turned to the grounds at Chau-
tauqua it serenaded the officers
of the Association. The sere-
made was very pleasant feature
Of the afternoon. From the
happy way (which the cottagers
and other guests entered into the
spirit Of the occasion, it was evil
dent that the Management was
as popular with the people as
with the Band.
The County commissioners have
very courteously given permission
to the citizens Of Devils Lake to
erect q band stand on Court House
square. Some time ago they sold
THE old house on the Square with
| the understanding that it would be
removed, and the janitor at about
that time was ordered to ''clean
up" the whole premises. As we

THE LABOR QUESTION
MIR. MURPHY URGES EFFORTS FOR
 IMMIGRANTS.
The Question of Immigration and the Question of Education He Arr
 gues Are Closely Allied.

-
 During his two months stay in Tex as, MT. Edgar Gardner Murphy of this city became much interested in some of the later results of the movement of immigration to that State. At the Imperial Hotel yesterday he talked freely concerning the recent impress sons he had gathered in Texas and Alabama.
 "While I am a citizen of Alabama. said MT. Murphy. and while l always ] expect to be a voter right here in Mont gomery. l always take keen interest in a visit to Texas, for Texas was the
 home of my boyhood. I was born m Arkansas but I went to San Antonio as a child of six, and I stayed there till 1 entered college at Sewanee. Tenn and after finishing my c~llege work l went back to Texas for four years. It has changed much in the thirty years that have passed since we stag ed it. into San Antonio. No railroad
 had yet reached the city. Today the railroad mileage of Texas exceeds that of any State in the Union.
 "The marvellous progress found upon every hand is largely due to an intelll-
 gent and aggressive policy of immlgra- tion. There has been no expulsion or negro labor, for Texas in the ten years
 from 1890 to 1900 added over 100000
 to her negro population. But white
 people have come in so fast and Tn
 such great numbers that the increase
 in the number of negroes is practical
 ly unnoted. There is so much work
 for everybody that the white people
 have all they can do; and they seem
 to he utilizing the negro labor as we'll
 The present interest in immigration

 Governor Jelks and by the press of the
 laI Nearly three years ago in an address
 before the Chamber of Commerce of Nashville, I contended that we would reach an approximate solution of many of our hardest problems if we could all unite in an effort to secure more white people for the South. l tried to | show, also that the educational queS- | tion and the immigration question are | closely allied Some of our Western States have been spending per pupil | in average attendance three or four | times as much as some of our states | in the south. But the Southern states
 in spite of their greater dificulties'
 are now coming rapidly to the front | The movement for local taxation m | Alabama is a case in point. Thlrty- = five Of our counties have recently levied | this special tax for the work of their public schools, and in most of these | counties the affirmative vote was so
 overwhelming as to be almost unanl-
 nous. Our people are willing to bear
 their burdens and to face their re- | responsibilities if their leaders will lead They love their children and they be- lieve in their State.
 All this will have a powerful effect
 in helping forward the movement TOT
 immigration. The sort of immigrant
 who cares nothing about the oppor
 tunities of his children will add little
 to our ultimate prosperity. The sort
 of immigrant who does care, is likely
 to help us a great deal.
