The democratic campaign in the
state opened at Grand Forks with
addresses by Honest" John Burke
and A. G. Burr, with a preliminary ad-
dress by that old time bryan demo-
crat Tracy R. Bangs, and the usual
attack upon the republican party and
it's leaders in the state. The machine
politics Of the. present generation
were vigorously bonnbarded and com
ing from those old time, regular and
machine democrats, Bangs and Burke,
the bombardment,w was truly inspiring.
But it may be that the recent ele-
waiting addresses of Bryan have
lodged so many new truths in Tracy's
heart that he feels inspired like Saul
of old who was converted in blind
ing light and went forth to preach.
And how eloquently and with what
genuine feeling must the anti-pass and
anti-machine sentiments have rolled
from the tongue of John Burke, good
fellow and good democrat from time
immemorial, long in the politics of
the state and able to give cards and
spades to some of the machine fell
lows as to the workings of real
machine. Now when we shall have
Silver Dick Shadrich on the stump,
arrayed in the decayed mantle of
sixteen to one and looking forward
with renewed enthusiasm to govern
ment and state ownership of railroads.
we'll may the republican hosts prepare
to tremble and take to the woods
For we shall have four X coffee and
four X politics and the thunder of his
eloquence will be such as almost to
wake the ghosts of dead issues to life
and array them again in all the splen'
dor of ten years ago when Dick was
preaching prosperity with Bryan and
death and damnation without him.

It is waste of hopefulness to ex-
pect figs from thistles and it is equal
3y futile to expect fairness from the
Times Record at Valley City. Conse-
sluently when it states that the state
treasury is not in condition to furnish
funds for the establishment of a
wheat testing plant at the state agri-
cultural college because of its empti-
ness, it is merely carrying out its
policy of attacking the state admins
t1Tation at every turn. 1t is well
known that the last legislature made
appropriations exceeding the probable
revenues of the state and the COVER
nor scaled them down, to provide
every cent possible for the institu-
lions and at the same time pay the
current expenses Of the state and
keep within the revenue. The wheat
testing bill was passed without an
appropriation and with the express
understanding that none would be
asked. Both the state agricultural
college and the Valley City normal
school were pretty well provided for
by the legislature, and while without
doubt there are places where more
funds could be prodtably expended, it
is not possible with two years revenue
to place the state institutions beyond
the pale OF legitimate desire for addi-
lions and improvements. The state
administration is seeking to provide

OF his part in the operations OF John

engaged in editing.
They are all carefully dated and be-
longed to a colony of Jews-the grand
children or great-grandchildren of the
Jews who migrated into Egypt with
Jeremiah-who lived at Assuan and
Elephantine in the time of Xerxes I
and his two successors. These Jews
were already the bankers and money
lenders Of the place and held good
deal of property there. The papyri
throws a large amount of light on
ly in the matter of marriage, and they
also explain the origin of the so-called
Biblical Chaldec.
1t was the official Aramaic of the
western half Of the Persian Empire, as
spoken and written by the Jews. The
names borne by the Jewish community,
1t is interesting to note, are exactly
these which we find in the post-exilio
books Of the Old Testament. Other
similar documents Of Jewish origin may
be expected to turn up. now that at
tention has been directed to them. This
winter, for instance, I obtained one
which contains the accounts of Jew
isn trader, and is about century and
a half later than those found at
Assuan.
But the archaeological revelation of
Egypt is not as yet half exhausted.
The future has discoveries In store for
us of which we cannot at present even
dream. Tlfe age of the subjective"
dissection of literary work and the at
tempt to rewrite history with the help
only of philology and literary tact is
now over, at all events SO far as the
scientific student OF the past is con-
cerned.
If we are to discover the history Of
the past and to test the traditions of IL
which have come down TO us 1t must be
by means Of archaeology and of evidence
which alone is scientific. Contem-
poraneoHs documents, whether on
some or clay or papyrus. pottery and
styles of architecture. tools and weap-
ons and ornaments-these, when
brought to light by the science of ex-
cavation and scientifically interpreted
by the archeologist, can alone tell US
whether the history that has been
handed down to us Is a fiction or an
honest record Of events.
And thus far archaeological discovery
has been on the side of tradition. !

Professor Petrie's discovery that the

the contents of provincial waste-paper

For several years past Drs. Grenfell
and Hunt have been excavating on the
sites OF the old Egyptian towns with
the special purpose of disinterring the
fragments of papyrus rolls with which
they are filled and thousands Of such
fragments mostly Greek and many of
them belonging to literary works, are
now in England.
Among the fragments tdiscovered on
the site OF Oxyrrhinchus are the famous
Logia or Sayings of Christ around
which there has been so much learned
theological discussion.
Last winter a Yellum leaf was found
on the same site containing what may
prove 10 De a fragment OF a loel BOSpel
OF the latter part of the second century.
As IL identifies the high priests" with
the Pharisees it cannot well be earlier.
But, like the older Logia, it is an ear
nest of what we may hope TO discover.
The tradition of the early planting Of
Christianity in the Greek cities Of
Egypt has been fully confirmed, and as
excavation proceeds there is no reason
why other fragments Of the literature
Of the primitive church may not be dis
inferred, including, 1T may be, copy OF
the Gospel of st. Mark itself. One OF
the latest German finds is the work Of
a gnostic heresiarch against whom st.

spite Of modern critical doubts Irenaeus

metaphysical system of his opponents.
