FUR BEIfLA Or WORSE?

The mass Of humanity are a
hopeful proposition and it is
proper that such should be the
case. The year 1905 has passed
into history and we are now look
ing into the face of 1906 and
guessing what Time has in store
for the next twelve months.
Many declare the world to be
getting better as the years roll
by and civilization is presumed
to be reaching higher standards.
The year just closed saw rati-
fled the peace negotiations at the
close Of a bloody war between
Russia and Japan. This may be
looked upon as either for or
against civilization and a better
ment of conditions. In thus
reckoning this matter we must
be governed by the view point.
Is Russia getting better? There
is still riot and bloodshed through
out the great empire. At pres
ent there is no evidence that
conditions are better than they
were in Russia last year and one
can only hope that after a reign
of butchery the shackles may be
broken and liberty and enlight-
ment prevail to such a degree
that the evil days leading to the
brighter ones may be forgotten.
In the way of sciences we are
certainly making rapid progress,
also in the field occupied by our
inventive geniuses. Only a day
or two ago a party was commits
stoned to build an air-ship for an
exploration of the north pole and
the territory surrounding it. 1t
may be cited in this connection
that we are not much closer the
pole now than we were 100 years
ago, but it is not improbable that
we, many of us, will live to
note the arrival of some ad-
venturer at the pole and may be
wrap the stars and stripes about
it and perch an eagle on the top.
In the United States during
1905 there was less lynching
that in former years-66 men
lynched. Surely here is evil
dence that we are gaining in
goodness in this country, but we
are not entitled to boast until we
can point to a clean record in
this regard. Can we make the
year '06 better than it's prede-
cessor? We can if we will so let
US do it.

what We have ION the land) aid which
under present circumstances they can
not rob us of. How unwise it
would be TO uce our tariff duties and
invite commercial war lin our own
country before building ships ard pre-
pairing for the conflict
Alexander Hamilton said: TO
preserve the balance of trade in
favor Of a nation ought TO De
leading aim oe it's policy" One
way Of doing this is by a ship
ping policy, the vessels of a ma
ton doing all the carrying be-
longing to it. Another way is
by an industrial policy that will
secure to a nation it's home
market, the full employment of
its people, diversifcation of
trades and the raising, produc-
tion and fabrication of all it's
necessities. The proper regu-
lation of its commerce will en-
able any nation thus to stand on
its own bottom and become rich.
Bismarck understood the sci
ence Of modern government.
The founders of our own govern
ment knew their own business
also, but we have fallen on evil
times, the years passing with
public men in doubt of the true
principles of craftsmanship. We
have but single sring to our
bow. Snap that and before we
can recover the loss dread dis
aster may befall our nation.
Bismarck took care to increase
and develop the German marine
as we'll as to protect the in
dustries of his country by tariff
on importations. Both ways of
maintaining a balance of trade
is in use in Germany. Name over
the great men we have had in
the last forty years and see if
one can be mentioned who has
paid any attention to the maxim
of Hamilton-to maintain a bal
ance of our trade. Our shipping
has gone to the dogs. We have
had no Madison, much less 9
Bismarck. Now, impair but
slightly the protection of the
tariff and down goes our house
of cards. Copy Britain, we are
told; liberalize the tariff and be g
nation among nations. But these
shallowpates never say, copy
Britain" increase the marine,
carry 80 per cent of our own
commerce, be independent on
the ocean as on land. Oh, no;
that would be too English, you
know. The British can do our
transportation cheaper than we
can ourselves!-Ex.

| THE TRUSTEES MEETING
President Nicholson Made a Years
Report OF the university's
Work and Outlook.

President Thomas Nicholson We'd
| nesday made a minute and detailed
| report OF the financial condition Of
Dakota Wesleyan to the Board OF
Trustees. and the members were
highly gratified with this report and
passed tlattering resolutions recognize
ing the full and capable preSenta-
ton of the business of the UniVer-
sity. The report showed that the
student body IN the past two years
had increased from 345 to $50, the
enrolment Of the present year, eX-
elusive of the Summer School. The
general running expenses have in
creased from abouts ST 200 to 500, GOO
for all purposes, and yet everything
had been provided for and there
was a small balance in the treasury.
The report presented the details,
financial and otherwise of each
separate department and each was
found to be in a tlourishing condi-
ton; without exception the depart
ments showed growth, progress, and
a good financial standing. In addi-
tion to this it was shown that the
debt on Memorial Hall had been re-
duced to 5000, and a scheme pro-
yiding Tor this was devised 10y the
trustees. Duling the year about
S35. 900 had been secured for perma-
nent endowment and further pro-
vision was made for the completion
of the whole 800. 600 during this
year. The presidents new house
: was inspected and found to be max
ing most satisfactory progress. Pro-
vision Was made for the continuance
of the work and the prosecution OF
the canvass to complete the fund,
and it is hoped that this magif-
cent stone building will be occupied
by the president sometime during
the month of September. The board
also made provision for the frescoing
OF Memorial Hall. and for some
other work left unfinished until this
time. in that building also for the
