term of Senator Bacon expires, until
the legislature convenes in the follow

SEEKING BARREN FIELDS.

Blaine to create a commercial fed
GRAFTON of the American republics ann
the great Buffalo exposition was con-
cefved and carried out for the purpose
of fostering this end. it must be re-
membered that no great commercial
enterprises have ever been developed
within the tropics. The people there
may be exporters but thy are very
seldom importers
The reason is not far to seek. In
the tropics nature has largely proyid-
ed in a"native state for all the wants
OF man. His food grows largely with
out labor and in the majority of in
stances may be had for the gathering.
Nor has there been any serious dan
ger of crop failures in those regions

periods to elapse even from the har-
vesting of one crop till the harvesting

Inc same may be said of the cloth
ing. The frailest fabrics serve the
purpose of the most progressive. Here
too nature has been largely prodigal
and the smallest amount of labor i.
sufficient to procure the most abund.
ant supply.
Ihe dwellings are largely in keep
ing with the conditions named, and
the need of fuel is almost unknown
Commerce is not developed because
the same products are largely pro-
duced in one place which are to be
found in another. There is there
fore no need of transporting food
from one end Of the continent to the
other in order to give the people of
one section class of food which thew

ket with them because the richness OF
nature needs but little need for Gull
tivation. Industrial mines have not
been developed because there has
oeen no need for their products.
Under these conditions there does
not seem to be very promising field

to the peaceful pursuits of her people
and all the energies of the war were
at once converted into building up
the disasters which the war had
wrought. Her people were united in
their efforts to restore the old time
glory of the nation and from the
highest noble to the humblest peasant
there was nothing considered but the
glory of Japan and the good of the
whole people. That condition has not
been developed since the close of the
war. 1t is not now. 1t existed be-
fore the army was called together
which wrote its record in letters of
blood on the pages of history. 1t was
the patriotism of people who were
so devoted to their country that no
sacrifice was too great to be made
in its defense.
On the other hand Russia returned
from the battle fields of the east to
FAC. at home condition of affairs
which must certainly wreck any ma
ton however strong. A nation with
out laws save the will of an erratic
emperor, people illiterate and down
trodden and brutalized until they
knew not the meaning of life or lib
erty, ready to hurl the deadly bomb
at the head of every ruler, and ready
to sacrifice life If by so doing the
hated power Of their rulers could be
broken, is it reasonable to suppose
that the men who were at the front
were inspired by patriotic zeal to do
battle against the enemy?
As in Japan, these conditions have
not developed since the arms were
stacked on the Manchurian plains. 1t
was seething cauldron of political
discomfort and political rebellion
which was held in check only by the
mailed hand of tyranny.
Compare Japan today, happy, con-
tented, prosperous, her people united
and periodically devoted to the gov
eminent, and ready to sacrifice their
lives and consider it an honor if by
so doing the nation can be served.
with Russia her people miserable,
restless and starving, hating the gov
eminent and ready to strike at its
vitals at any moment. Is it any
wonder that Japan succeeded in the
conflict?

JAPAN AND RUSSIA.

When the armies of Russia were he
Ing defeated by the japanese before
Port Arthur and on the plains Of
Manchuria and when the Russian
Meets were being sunk in the sea or
else driven upon the shore by the
fleets flying the pennant of the little
brown men, the world stood APPALLED,
at the spectacle and wondered how
It could be possible.
Whether or not the peace of Ports
mouth was victory for the Russians
or the Japanese must be determined
by the historians. 1t is not possible
to tell at this time But the reason
for the universal series of disasters
which befell the armies of Russia
on both land and sea in the orient
can to some extent be determined
from the internal condition of the two
nations at the present time.

Marvin Hughitt, one Of the foremost

telegraph messages by sound. At
seventeen. having acquired consider

for what is now the Chicago & Alton

there does not seem to be a very in

H. L. Haussman. one Of the prom
tnent druggists at the convention here,
has enjoyed the meeting as we'll as
any Of the druggists and recalls the
conditions existing when the organi-
cation was first formed at Fargo in
August Of 1856 and the growth since
with much satisfaction.
Mr.. Haussman said to an Evening
Times representative the other night:
Il tell you things are different nova
days than they were with the early
day druggists in this state and this
meeting recalls to my mind the ad-
vancement which our organization has
made in the years of its, existence.
I'VE first started the movement in
Grafton and We had considerable diff
ticulty In soaring up enough druggists
to make a respectable showing There
were only about fifteen in the state
and we hustled around, got the boys
interested and set on Fargo as the
place to organize. Most any old sort
of fellow could be druggist in those
days for there were no state pharmacy
laws then. this then being a territory
and all man had to do was to set
up his shingle and go to dealing out
drugs and medicine. Things have
changed for the better and the organ
ization stands today as one of recog-
nized strength and importance in the
state. In fact, it has the Largest
membership of any trade organization
in the state and is growing rapidly"
OF the first board of directors elect
ed by the organization, but few are
present at the convention. John w.
Won Media, the first president, is now
in Philadelphia. where he is located
in business. E. C. Maxcy, another Of
the old guard, Is also in the east Rob-
ert Berg of this city, one of the found
ers. is consul to Sweden. Henry Mil
Ter is located at Wahpeton, C. r. Mere
dith of Fargo is in attendance at the
convention. Frank Frisby, another of
the board, died some years ago, and
F. S. Langdon, well known to many
OF the members, is not present His
location at present is not known. F. s..
Langdon was another of the original
organizers. Mr.. Haussman, the other
member Of the old board, is in at
tendance here this week. Mr.. Hauss-
man recalls that at one of the meet.
fngs held in this city in the early his
tory of the association, 1t was almost
impossible to get sufficient number
OF the members together to form a
quorum and he compares the attend
ance today and the enthusiasm appar-
ent with those days with much salts
faction.
The term for which the association
shall exist, according to its articles of
incorporation, is fifty years, but the
members hope that it will enjoy a
healthy longevity far beyond the time
limit set in the articles.

Clancey,s Horse Race.

During the recent race meet at Cas-
selton, N. D., John Clancy of Bowbells
had a string of horses entered. He
raced his horses for the fun of It and
rarely bet. One day he had horse
entered that seemed to have SO excel
lent chance of winning that he bet
$40 on 1t.
When the rose got away. Clancy
stood on the grandstapd watching
them through his fieldglasses. Some
OF his friends who knew about the bet,
crowded about and began to joke him.
Where's your horse now, Clancy?"
was asked.
Clancy surveyed the field carefully.
Il can't quite make out" he replied,
whether he is last in the third race or
first in the fourth"

INSURANCE THOUGHT.


The lapse of 315,s54 life insurance
policies, carrying more than $45O, 00O,-
600 and decrease of nearly $751;
100000 in the new insurance written
during the year 1905 gives some idea
of the result Of the recent agitation
of the insurance business in this
country. -,
The story is more significant than
appears on the surface. Nearly half
a billion dollars in insurance was al
lowed to lapse during the year. The
vast majority of this was held by
people who We're carrying it for the
protection of their families after the
proven had answered the last sum-
mons. This conclusion is reasonable.
There were two distinct classes of
people carrying insurance policies.
One was the man who, having plenty
OF money, was carrying it for an in
vestment. He had calculated the rate
of interest he would receive and the
fact that the rates he was paying
were higher than they should be mat
tered little to him because he had
based his interest income on these
rates and was therefore satisied:.tta4e
would not allow. his policy to lapse
any more than he would withdraw his
time deposit from bank because the
rate Of interest was low.
The other class is composed of the
Great army of men who are not able
to lay, by in bulk sum sufficient
for those dependent upon them, and
who do so by carrying life insurance.
They are the ones who are vitality
effected by the high rates and who are
the first to become discouraged over
the reports which swept the country
concerning the conditions of the life
insurance companies.
The story of the number of lapses
is that a third of million people who
had depended upon life insurance to
keep the wolf from the door have not
only given up that method Of saving
the family from the c6ldness of an
nnsympathizing world but that they
have sacrificed all that has been con-
tributed toward that end. It is
story which tells of thousands sof:

Stories of the Hour
On Time-But.

James E. Sullivan, the American
commissioner to the Olympic games
told on the way home. in the smoking
room of the republic, Greek story.
"A great Greek traveller" he said,
'once visited Constantinople, and was
entertained at dinner by the German
ambassador.
The party was distinguished one,
and, after the sherbets and sweetmeats
had been supplanted by the coffee and
cigarettes, the guests began to talk
about their servants. They did not
malign their servants, as Is the custom
with US. On the contrary, they boatsed
of them.
And more loudly and more fervent-
ly than any one else did the Greek
traveller boast about his servant
Kouros.
~ assure you,' said the traveller
finally. that my servant Kouros, an
old campaigner, can be dispatched on
an errrand to any part of the city, and
will tell you to an instant the time
of his return
Some slight incredulity was ex-
pressed, and the traveller at once sent
for Kouros.
"'Kouros,' he said, go to the tobac-
conist's by the Stamboul bridge, and
bring me box of cigars, the usual
brand. Here is the money!
"Kouros bowed and disappeared.
The traveller, taking out his watch and
holding it in his hand, then said con-
fidently:
Now, gentlemen, he is leaving the
house. Now he is at the end of the
street. Now he enters the tobaccon-
lists. Now he is served. Now he is
returning at full speed. Now, gentle
men, he is here-Kouros!'
'Excellency!' the servant respond
ed, and amid an intense silence he en-
tered the room with the cigars in his
hand.
Most of the guests praised highly
the unwavering diligence of the Greek
servant, but an old pasta, slipping his
thick black coffee and smoking his
hubble-bubble, caressed his long white
beard thoughtfully and said:
"'This that we have seen is very
fine, but discipline among the serv-
ants o. the faithful is quite as good,
and perhaps little better. With my
own servant Ali I will now duplicate
this Grecian feat
Accordingly he summoned Ali, gave
him money. and dispatched him to the
tobacconist's for cigars
Then, watch in hand. he. like the
Greek, said: :f''
Now he leaves the house. Now he
runs through the street of the Min
arets. Now he crosses over. Now he
is returning. Now he is here-AM.'
Effendi" Ali answered, quietly en-
tering the room.
Where are the cigars"
