State Historical Society Of N. D.

80 sN @ tye1.S@NF ~
The State Historical Society,
reports a splendid record of the
Indian relics and other historical
'articals since it's advent into the
state although its researches has
been to a certain extent, handi-
capped owing to the lack of funds
necessary to carry on the work
very extensively.
The capitol museum contains
many articles of anscient times
and the work of E.. r. Stein
bruck of Mandan has been indeed
most worthy of notice in his
endeavor to collect same.
Another gentleman who would
be a very valuable assistant in
this line of special work is G.
S. Cryne of Gladstone. He is
thoroughly and deeply posted
upon subjects not only in minor
alogy alone, but he is familiar
personally, to a great extent with
the historical surroundings of
this great state, being an old
pioneer resident.of Stark county.
Mr.. Cryne was elected last year
at the Old Settlers Picnic, held
at Gladstone, as historian for
Stark county.
Below we give the report as
furnished us by the State His
orical Society.

MONTGOMERY IN 1910

The movement to put Montgomery to the front, and to work for vast in crease in it's population by 1910 has taken on new life. Since the move ment was inaugurated active, ener- getfc men have been unceasing in eff forts to make known our great advan- tages and to present them to the pub lie at home and abroad.
 fhe advertising committee has done eonspicuously good work and hundreds of thousands of people in all parts of the country are reading about Mont yomrey, and What it has to offer to those who may be looking for good place in which to live.
 McClure's Magazine for November has a beautiful page devoted to Mont Eomery. Nothing could be gotten up in more attractive form and our citi- xens should read it and then send to Friends at other points. That is the way to attract attention to Montgom- cry. We must all work for its up building. It is one of the very best points for business and residence in the United States and there should be . continued effort to spread this idea far and wide.
 Pull for Montgomery should be our motto. .:-.

ENFORCED EDUCATION.

We have never been enthusiastic on the subject of compulsory education. largely because it is a kind of pater- nalism that doesn't fit in very well with our ideas of free government, but sometimes we find something that jars the foundations of our opposition. One such is the following from a cor respondent of The Coosa River News:
 II own my own place and 1t is a good one and l cant afford to send my children to school only four or five months in the year cause I need their work on the farm and I can't hire anybody without paying big wages to which l am opposed"
 If there is ever a case where a fa- ther should ba forced to send his chill dren to school it is one like this. We know nothing of the mans pecuniary circumstances but it is certainly pre- sumable that he is able to give his children a better education than he seems to have. If he were helpless invalid with no chance to support a family except through the constant la some show of reason for his cruelty but there is nothing to show that he is not an able bodied man, nor is there any evidence that he cannot em- ploy help if he is willing to pay for it. Evidently avarice cuts some fig ure in the matter.
 The father who voluntarily deprives his children of at least common school education robs them of an in herent birth-right He has the same moral right to deprive them of proper food and clothing as he has to deprive them of schol privileges. The time has been in Alabama when educational facilities were far different from those which now prevail in a;most every portion of the State. Then school houses were few and often difficult to reach. Tuition was high and the parent had to pay it, and other con- ditions made it difficult to obtain an education, but no such excuses can now be put forward. Tuition in the common schools is free, and the par ent has no expense except the small cost of books. father who will not give his children chance to learn should be forced to do. so. call itt compulsory education or something else.

The Too-Easy Divorce Decree.

Detroit Free Press.
 We seem to be progressing to that very end where the inconvenience of marriage may be shaken off almost at will and yet without overturnfng the fond delusion about the holiness of matrimony. For instance. William Lemp. millionaire of St. Louis, Is to be divorced by his wife. says gossip. It is held that MT. Lemp has led an exemplary life. Mrs. Lemp is an ex- emplary young woman. But tempera- mentally they are antithetical. "Mr. Lemp,' says the lady's mother. Ifs too much of gentleman not to permit my sister to have a divorce" Mrs. Lemp. We infer. is too much of a lady to ask that an incompatible husband be asked to endure life with her. The money settlement, is placed at half a million, and there will be neither scan- dal nor sensation. It is all polite. or derly and simple. The testimony will be conventional. The decree will he rendered as a matter of course and so- ciety will welcome both parties back to it with joy. But society stands aghast at the suggestion of the linn ited marriage contract.

THE ISSUE.

The Cleveland CO., Leader declares mia to Massachusetts, and from Min nesota to Florida there is but one is- sue, and that issue is Theodore Roosevelt" If asserts that the para mount question all over the country is the endorsement of the present ad- ministration by the election of Con gressmen who stand with Roosevelt. To this view of the matter our Re- publican contemporary, The New Bed ford Standard replies:
 Which the same is bosh in it's ap- plication to Massachusetts at least So far as congressman go, the Pres idents endorsement may be a sort of an issue, though even in that aspect its importance is exaggerated. As the State is manifestly going to elect the usual number of Republican congress- men, this will have to do an en- dorsement-if any were needed-of the President. ..-
 The real issue in Massachusetts in the main fight of the campaign is a purely personal one-between the rel ative desirability of John B. Moran and Curtis Guild for the governorship D of this State. The campaign more and more develops 1nto that one issue. It is between a man who has made a good governor and a man who is a victim of strangely revolving wheels
 No doubt the Cleveland paper is to great extent correct. The failure to get 8 majority of Roosevelt part- sans in the lower House of Congress would mean that he would no longer be able to dominate Congress, and that again would mean a diminution in the supply of pap to be distributed among the faithful Pap, be it re- membered, is a favorite diet with all good and loyal Republicans, and they know the sucking will be shut off un- less the administration is sustained; i; hence they are making Roosevelt the issue. Of course there are States and districts where other questions are prominent, possibly dominating. but in the main we suspect The Leader is lpretty close to the facts.

Horror of Needless Noises.

ll IS the needleSSneSS of most noises that make them insufferable. You sleep very well through the roar of a winrty storm, but if someone has forgotten ta fasten a blind and it be gins to bang, then you are lost you might as well get up and locate that blind and fasten it first as last The manifold noises of your steamer :, plunge through the night, with the perpetual wash of the sea, unite in a lullaby to which the worst conscience sinks into repose; but snore break ing from the next stateroom recalls the memory of all ones sins. The rush and leap and inceSsant but varied grind and clang of the sleeping car become soothing at last. but q radiator begin ming to flZz and click after the steam has been turned off, seems to leave the Would-be sleeper no resource but suf- rld'; If you could get at the second rngineer and leave him weltcring in hiS gore, you could snatch d few cat maps before morning; but you can not get al the second engineer after mid hlEht in most hotels. Continuous noses ana necessary noises are thines Nou can adjust senses or YuGr Splrits < to, but the noise without q reason like the GnaWing of q rat in q wainscot. Is what drives SD many to perditiun.

sent to the government, came into the possession or MT. Jefferson Davis, but was lost at the time he was captured and has never been heard of since. Of the other two coins there has been no definite trace, though one was re- ported to be in New Orleans in 1882.
 Mir. Scott. had with great difhculty. five hundred copies Of this original coin made for the accommodation of coin collectors. The copies were good. but are of lighter. weight and not so perfect in milling. In the original also. a very small, fine line is observed on the obverse. just above the head of Liberty. This was caused by a tiny crack in the die, and as this die was not used in the restrikes the line made by the crack is absent"
 In all probability the coin in the possession of Dr. Ragsdale is one of the "restrikes." but should 1t prove to be one of the long lost original pieces, he has not only coin of great value. but a most interesting and valuable souvenir of the war.

THE rAKTrr ABROAD.

Referring to some of the evils of protective tariff. the following from The New York Post snovs how the system works elsewhere: .
 The United States is not the only country in which protection Is steadi- ly making life harder for the labor meat has gone up so markedly that thousands of people are no longer able to purchase any When prices jumped up a year ago, there was a the government was a statement from the minister of the interior that the trouble was due to a bad crop year. and would be overcome in a few weeks. Instead. the price of meat has steadily y,' risen so that that there is gsnu- cost $32.45 in Berlin in July, 1904. cost $34.40 in July. 1905. and S3S.87 in July of this year. On the 29th of Septem- Der last. the price had risen to S41.75. respondingly. The Berlin Tageblatt proves conclusively that this is not merely due to the increase of popula'- tion, as the government has alleged. but that there has been a marked falling off in the possible supply. It points out that, instead of doing some- thing to help the poor by making 1t easy to import cattle from abroad, the government. at the bidding of the Agrarians. is doing everything it can to make importations more difficult. In 1904. there was the edict against American hogs. and in the same year the fOrbidding of the importation of hogs and ruminants from France. Bel gium. Holland and England. In 1895 the importation of Danish hogs was stopped. This was followed in 1900 by the prohibition of all imports of sau- sage and canned meats. while more stringent health regulations have made it even more difficult to import come increased tariffs on cattle and meat. It is obvious, therefore, that the situation is getting worse instead of better.
 Under the autocratic German gov ernment the people have even less chance to help themselves than they have in theiUnited States, and heaven knows they have little enough chance here. There is a great deal of talk about monopolies and combinat tions nowadays, but the most heartless and blood sucking monopoly that ever ex- isted is a protective variff, and the worst feature of it is that it is main tained by the government itself In many respects we are better off than the Germans are. as we are more nearly self supporting than they. Prac- tieally everything that is- absolutely necessary for human subsistence can be produced in our own limits, but there are many things manufactured or produced here for which We must pay high prices for no other reason than that the import duties practical ly bar out foreign products. It will be so while the present political par ty controls all branches of the gov ernment.

There seems to be well settled conviction that United States Attor- ney General Moody is to be trans ferred al an early date to the Supreme Court to fill an existing vacancy. L- the entire court every memper, except Justice Harlan. has been appointed since the administration of President Hayes.
 The three Cleveland appointees are Chief Justice Fuller and Justices White and Peckham, the one Harri- son appointed is Justice Brewer. the one Mckinley appointee is Justice Me- kenna. and the two Roosevelt appoin- tees are Justices Holmes and Day.
 With MT. Moody on the bench there will be two justices from Massachu- setts Chief Justice Fuller was born in Maine; Justice Brewer was born in smyrna of Massachusetts missionary parents and educated in New England; i; so that of the nine justices, four will be of New England birth or training.

Again the discussion is going on as to why we should have the eagle as our national bird. The question is one that comes up frequently, and there is always some one who insists that the selection was a bad one and it's retention mistake Here, now, comes one Oberholser, evidently a for eigner, but who is connected with the Geographical Bureau as assistant or nithologist who files severe indict- ment against our bird. Among other things he speaks of fIr. Eagle as ''cruel in the extreme and rapacious to the utmost limit, it attacks number less defenseless creatures weaker than itself. It exacts extortionate tribute from the fowls of the air, the fish of the lake and stream, and few man. mals are safe from it's attacks. It finds it much easier and more congen- ial to rob others of the fruits of their endeavors than to find food for itself"
 Those are severe charges, but what can be done about it? The eagle is our bird. it matters not what his hab- planted on our silver dollars as firmly as the rock of Gibraltar. and the man who tries to rub him off is a traitor and several other bad things He may be all that our German friend calls him. but he's here to stay.
