Misunderstanding at the opening
exercises Of the University of Havana

here was solely for the purpose of up

announcement which was received
with demonstrations of delight by an
audience representative of the highest
society in Havana.
Following this it became known that
Governor Taft and Assistant Secretary
of State Bacon had cabled for their
wives to Join them here, step which
cannot but be most agreeable to the
Cuban people, and which will strongly
cement the bonds Of affection between
them and the American provisional

out in the Optic and scores Sen
ator Tilman for his speech in

Problem" and because he didn't
speak kindly of "niggers.' We
believe the Reverend gentleman
is earnest in his desire to lead

smoke, think of the stony stare
that the Rev. would greet a
bunch of ''niggers" with if they
went in and mingled in the de-

heartily say unto them, ''skidoo

DERTaOLD, ~. D.s NOV. IL.
Editor Independent:
BY request Of several citizens in Man.
dan township will give their plan to
obtain stock law in Ward county, OF
rather . vote on the question.
The plan is simply to request the
clerk Of every township in Ward county
= obtain II or Is names on petition to
tho commissioners asking that the ques-
tom Of doing away with the herd law
aud require all stock kept up at all
times OF the year, submitted to q vote
say about May l, 1907. That uniformi-
~ may DO observed, you will publish a
form to be used by al. Have all petit
tons sent to the Independent as soon as
ready. The editor of the paper will pre-
sont, by request, the petition to the
commissioners.
Tho day has been when the man with
stock should have had the full right-of
way, but that day is past. The day Of
the soil tiller is here, tho annoyed by
the stocknan. Every farmer should
have stock tho the kind and quantity
that he can care for, the same as in
other farming states. If we are to con-
vert the wild raging billiards. into
zephyrs We must plant trees on every
section line. 1t is useless to plant trees
so long as stock run at will any time of
the year. That stock delight in destroy
ing trees is too we'll known to be argued.
The question Of requiring stockmen to
keep their cattle at home is simply a
question of self-defense or protection to
the man who furnishes the grass, the
shrubbery to be destroyed.
Respectfully,
A SUBSCRIBER.

Won Political independence.

A big Burke celebration was
held at Devils Lake Saturday
night, despite the fearful snow
storm which was raging. A
number of the prominent speak
ers from all parts Of the state
were on hand. The ovation
which was given Burke made
him feel that it was good to be
elected governor of such a state
as North Dakota. In his speech
he said that he realized that he
was elected not by the Democrats
alone but by the entire people.
He said it was a victory in which
the people of the state had fought
a battle for political indepen-
dence and won.

It was necessary that there be destroyed all chance Of France being able to start another out break of war, the Germans must be given a period of peace in which to develop industrially and commercially. Bismarck used all the arts of diplom. acy at his command to isolate France. to bind the other European powers in alliance with Germany. And suc- ceeded. France was cut oil from mak- ing any advantageous union. Bis marck was able to unite Germany. Austria and Italy in "the firm bond of triple alliance In 1877 an alliance between Germany and Austria. Hun. gary had been formed, mutual assist ance to be given in case of an attack by Russia, and friendly neutrality In case of an attack by any other nation:' and about three years later Italy was added to the alliance-the treaty be- tween Italy and Germany providing for common action in case of French encroachments on either power. the treaty between Italy and Austria-Hun- gary for maintenance of frienly neu. trality in event of hostilities between Italy and France or between Russia and stria-Hungary.
 Andrew Carnegie, writing in the North American, repeats that to the monarch of England. the peace.making king. credit should be given for the friendship between England and France.

and skill in putting that knowledge to account; and that psychology is the source of inspiration of diplomacy. The writer adds, an intelligent, and when occasion demands, interruptions use of the insight psychology gives into the workings of the brain and soul. is the triumph of diplomacy. Mayhap there is good reason for speaking of diplomacy as black art.
 But perhaps that would better refer to the old diplomacy. In these days when questions of state have refer ence to nation and not the sovereign as an individual, when the newspaper special correspondent does his best to keep his paper and country informed of every move in the game of nations, there has come necessarily a great change in the work of the diplomat and no little change in methods. We are told the diplomats mission to-day is to soothe. to pour oil on troubled waters-not to carry out personal am bition of a grasping monarch.
 American diplomacy has ever been more open and sincere than European: Russian diplomacy the very opposite. Russian diplomacy apparently suave and conciliatory. but in reality press ing Russian advantage by means of spying and secret agents and bribery. pressing on with unscrupulousness and tremendous energy.

WAR ON ICE TRUST.
Action to Be Taken Immediately For
 Conspiracy and Fraud. -,

Conspiracy and Fraud, , -,
 NEW YORK, July 3.-The board of aldermen have adopted resolution calling on District Attorney Jerome to prosecute the heads of the ice trust for a conspiracy in constraint of trade in putting up the price of ice as they have been doing all summer under the pretense that the ice crop is short and in spite of the fact that the artificial Ice plants controlled by the trust can easily manufacture all the ice that is needed to make up any deficiency that may exist.
 The resolution was introduced by Mu. nicipal Ownership Leader Henry Clay Peters and immediate consideration de. manded for it under the rules.
 Mir. Peters declared that ice could he manufactured for 4s cents ton. and yet the trust had forced the price up to SIP a ton. He said that S10.0O0 a day is being criminally and illegally extorted from the people of this city by the alleged conspiracy. In addi- ton. thousands of poor families are de- prived Of ice almost entirely by the ad- vance in price.
 The resolution instructs the district attorney to bring action immediately against the heads of the ice companies of New York for conspiring to put up the price of ice to consumers in New York. The resolution is aimed directly at the officers of the American Ice company. which virtually controls the market throughout the state and has the small producers and dealers in this city at it's mercy

For so long Edward of England ap. peared to the world prince of Wales, leader of fashion and royalty holding out the scepter to numberless fair women, the world had got to consider him social arbiter rather than any thing more serious. But now Edward of England rises above the old level. we find the leader of fashion and so- cial arbiter showing unmistakable talents in the gentle art of diplomacy -or the black art, as it is sometimes styled. An enthusiastic foreign cor. respondent declares King Edward will certainly go down in history as Le Roi Diplomat.
 The latest stroke of diplomacy is shown in the Anglo-Russian friendli. ness-which causes much concern in Berlin. The Anglo-French entente was victory in which the king had a good share of credit. At Algeciras the English felt pretty well satisfied with results. And the marriage of English princess and Spanish king has added not little to King Edwards list of triumphs.
 It is said King Edward is moved to cement the bonds of friendship be. tween England and Russia by spirit of chivalry, that he pities the weak ness of his nephew, the czar, and would give him support. But 1t were we'll also for England, a Russo Eng fish entente. England and Russia are in pretty close quarters down near the frontier of India. in Persia also and China. Whatever the lack of cor dial relation between the two coun. tries, has been the fault of St. Peters. burg, foxy Russian diplomacy not ap. bearing to understand anything but ulterior motives in overtures from Great Britain, holding England an en- emy, her supreme object to thwart the national aspirations of Russia. But Russian diplomacy may learn in the course of time aboveboard dealing has its advantages.
