cities outside the state was done with
in our own borders the taxes which
the wholesale houses pay would go to
the payment of our own expenses and
largely reduce those of the home
merchant, thereby allowing him to sell
his goods at a correspondingly lower
rate of profit. Instead of this the
taxes which arise from the transaction
OF North Dakota business goes to
assist in keeping down taxes in Min
nesota.
If the people of this city by travel
ing over the state and studying the
great undeveloped resources which are
ready for the conversion into millions
of wealth, are able to use the informa-
ton thus secured in inducing bust
nesses to locate in this city, and in
becoming convinced of the advantages
of establishing such businesses them
selves, the trip will mark an epoch in
the commercial prosperity of this city
which will make it the rival of the
twin cities in the great northwest.

securing funds to conduct the con-
gressional campaign this fall is not
only novel but decidedly popular. The
plan provides for the collection OF the
campaign funds by popular subscrip-
lions of one dollar each, the subscriber
in each instant to have a copy of the
campaign book, a publication which
is worth double that price to anyone
interested in politics.
There is however stronger side to
the plan than the mere gathering of
the sinews of war wherewith to de-
feat the enemy. Every person who
contributes to the fund will have a
personal interest in the results and
will feel that upon him to some extent
depends the responsibility of winning
the fight 1t therefore serves as
stimulus for the rallying of the masses
of the people to the political fight
which will be waged in the congress
sional districts throughout the coun-
try this fall.
There have been demands for
political reforms in this country for
years and all sorts of expedients have
been adopted in order to compel the
people to reform. But they have par
taken some what of the principle of
the minister who having failed to
preach the gospel into an individual,
proceeds to pound it into him.
A political reform which does not
to some extent arouse the conscience
and stimulate the intelligence of the
voter is supe, fetal to say the least.
But when something is done which
creates an interest in the individual
for the success or defeat of some GER
tain policy or principle, that individual
becomes real reformer.
He will in all probability not be a
political revOlutiOnist or what We in
more gentle terms call radical, but
he will seek to bring about certain
results by intelligent and substantial
action. This is the difference between
political reforms which last and those
which catch the passing crowd but
last only while the spectacular is in
evidence.
II the republican congressional
campaign committee can by the adop-
ton of its present policy interest a
sufficient number of people in its cause
to raise by dollars subscriptions a
sufficient campaign fund to carry on
the work of the committee, it will have
an army of workers which will be
more valuable than all it's speakers
and at the same time it will have in
auguarated method which will cause
thousands of men to take an intelligent
interest in the campaign and its re-
suits. In this latter it is working a
reform in politics which will outlast
any that has ever been proposed.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO.

In the speeches delivered yesterday
at Devils Lake on the occasion of the
home coming of Senator Hansbrough
1t was pointed out that where that
city now stands and which has Just
received an appropriation of one hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars for a
government building, a quarter of a
century ago there was nothing more
than tented frontier outpost.
Twenty-Five years have wrought a
wonderful change in North Dakota.
Then the line of the dry belt was sup
posed to lie just west of the city of
Larimore, and that the man who ex-
pected to grow grain west of that
line was foolishly optimistic. That
was cattle country and could never
be made to yield to the Chords of the
agriculturalist. Now the waving sea
of golden grain extends from the Red
river valley to the Missouri slope and
the rush is still westward.
Men are in the prime of life TODAY
who helped to build a commonwealth
from the prairie and who have seen
the course of empire moving slowly
but certainly from the eastern to the
western border Of the state. Cities
have sprung up where a few years
ago white man had never trod save in
the pursuit of game in which he We'd

level as floor and ready for the pillow
without cost or labor, should lie SO
long before the marvellous productive
ness OF the soil should be discovered.
Yet it is true. The men who laid the
foundation for the future greatness
OF North Dakota were not only bene-
factors but heroes as we'll. Little did
they dream as they dug their sod
houses or perchance shivered around
the fires made of straw in their Ill
built shacks that great trunk lines
OF railroads would be built for the pur-
pose OF carrying to the markets of
the world the products of the unbroken
prairies which spread before them.
All these things have come as a
result of quarter of a century of
industry and development, and the
end is not yet. No other state can
show such record and no other state
can show such opportunities even now
awaiting the man who comes to find
home and wealth in return for his
labors.

Musical Wonder Explained.

The musical statue of Memnon at
Thebes, on the left bank of the Nile,
has been explained. Many ancient
and modern writer's have given their
conjectures as to how the statue used
to become vocal under the first rays
of the morning sun, and why it has
ceased doing SO. For two centuries
Greeks and Romans journeyed to see
the wonder of the musical statue and
to honor Memnon. Some of the an
clients said that the assures in the
granite of the statue were caused by
an earthquake, modern research sad

Black Art in Another Form.

A German and his son Fritz. were
on an express train bound for the sea-
shore.
While Fritz was snoozing, his father,
who occupied the window seat, snatch
ed his cap and seeming threw it out of
the window.
"Aha," the joking father said, "your
cap is on de outside. Never mind,
Fritzy. Ill vistle and it will come on

The father whistled, and at the same
moment, deftly placed the cap on his
attentive sons head. Fritz was speech

at in wonder and at his pater familias
in deep admiration for several min

OF Historical Interest.
IBismarck Tribune.l

The Bathgate Pink Paper tells how
sad 1t is that half the supposed insur-
gent delegates voted the gang" tick
ct at jamestown. This is one Of those
things interesting If true" but it lacks
truth. Before the state convention,
the conservative leaders in the state
estimated the strength of the organic
alton in the convention at from 300 to
strength ranging from 800 to 325 as
estimated. To say that the "insur-
gent" delegates were brought into
line to the extent OF $50 or more is
simply an absurdity. The 306 dele
gates who voted with the organization
were delegates fairly elected in a fair
fight to support the administration
and organization. Any talk that the
convention was captured" or won by
bringing over opposition delegates is
buncombe. The fight was at the polls.
The insurgents before the convention
merely gave out false and untrust-
worthy claims as to their strength. The
convention was won at the polls at the
hands OF the people of the state.

THAT CLUB TRIP.

The decision of the Commercial club
of this city to visit the northern por-
ton of the state in the interests of
the city is decided step forward in
the commercial prospects of the city.
The policy of keeping things hidden
of pursuing gum shoe policy of public
advertising-is ruinous to any city.
The Commercial Club is an organiza-
ton which commands the respect of
the entire state. Its members are the
substantial and progressive members
OF the community. Their names stand
for all that is best in public spirit and
influential citizenry. There is no need
then of keeping their light under a
bushel.
The question now is what advant-
ages will the trip of our merchants
over the state bring to the city? The
answer to this would be recital of
the advantages of the city as trad
ing point both as wholesale and as
a distributing center. If the trip will
80 advertise the city that trade which
wopld otherwise go to other points
can be brought here the trip will have
served its purpose nobly.
This of course means that the city
must become large distributing
point, which means the establishment
OF wholesale and jobbing houses. 1t
does seem that the city has not yet
awakened to the golden opportunities
which it possesses in this direction.
1t lies at the commercial gateway
OF the great enthusiastically the
most wonderful country on the face
Of the earth. Beyond it stretching
away to the setting sun lies the great
est food producing region inhabited
by man. Nor is it barren waste.
Every quarter of land in that great
stretch will support family in COM
fort. When once the country be-
comes settled from the Red river
valley away beyond the confines of
Montana there will be the most popu-
lous and at the same time the most
prosperous region of the entire coun-
try. These people must be supplied
not only with food and raiment but
with the machinery for the cultivation
OF the soil and the harvesting of the
crops. Houses will in few years dot
every farm in that vast region and the
material for their construction and the
furnishings which make them comfort
able must come from some great dis
tributing center.
The point is will Grand Forks be-
come that center or will she let it |
30 to some of her rivals less advant-
R8eOusly located? 1t is true that if
such condition is brought about in
[nl6 CITY there must be wholesale
houses located here and the trade
must be pushed into the territory
which of right belongs to this city.
The city will not boom itself no mat
er how meritorious its advantages.
The nucleus is already here in the
say of wholesale houses, and If the
rip over the state does nothing more
han secure for them the trade which
nder normal conditions should come
D this city, it will well repay the ex-
enses.
Frankly speaking. st. Paul and other
lstern cities do not deserve dollar

Henry Irving's kindness of heart. An
old lady came to him in pecuniary
need, asking employment.
He telephoned to his business man
ager inquring if there was any employ
ment at the theater that could be found
for her. The business manager ans
wered. Absolutely nothing-nothing
at all" Irving suggested that she
might look after the CATS The mana
ger telephoned back that there were
already women looking after the cats.
We'll, you must find her something.
Let her look after the three women
that are looking after the cats" That
was henceforth her position at the
theater-handsomely paid, no doubt.

Stories Of the Hour
President Saves Kittens.

President Roosevelt and Mr.. Root,
the secretary of war, were returning
from horseback ride, when they
heard sharp cries of distress near by.
What is it?" asked Mr.. Root.
Kittens, think" replied the presi-
dent. turning his horse around; land
they seem to be in distress"
Then he began an investigation, and
discovered that the melancholy chorus
issued from the open basin of drain.
The president beckoned to two ur-
chins. who, from an awed distance
were watching the performance.
will one of you boys crawl into the
opening while the other holds his legs?
President Roosevelt asked.
Sport like that with the greatest
parsonage in the United States as UNI
pire, could come reasonably only once
in lifetime, and the boys grasped the
opportunity.
That's it," exclaimed the president.
Now what do you find there?"
Cats in bag" called out the boy,
with his head in the drain. The other
boy sturdily chung to his companions
leg. The kittens, unaware that their
plight had stirred the sympathies of
the head OF nation, walled as if
new calamity were about to befall
them.
Drag them out" came the COM
mand.
The commotion brought out won
dering butler from a neighboring resi-
dence
will you care for these little kit
tens?" asked the president; give them
milk and a place to live?"
Had the man been asked to become
member of Mr.. Roosevelt's govern
ment he could not have responded
with more heartfelt eagerness.
The president thanked him, told the
astonished urchins that they were lit
tie men, and joining the secretary of
war moved on to the White House.
mikes Fence Post Story"
Brother De La Bere of the Sheldon
Progress says:
No better demonstration of the fer
tility of the soil in this section of the
country can be produced than is
evidenced by the growing fence post
on the NJ. E. parsonage property. Last
spring Pastor Loach had occasion to
replace broken fence post, and, as a
student of economy, sawed limb from
tree that needed pruning, trimmed
1t, cut 1t the proper length and set It
IN place of the rotted post. Now that
1t has shoots, and many of them. over
two feet in length and bids fair to de-
velop into full grown tree. You do
not need to take the Progress word
for it-but go over and see for your
