Reformed spelling seems destined

committees, have decided to stick to
the old style. las the provision for

lie documents and publications viii be
dressed in the old styles of spelling.
Reformed spellingg, even with the
impetus Of the presidents approval,
does not progress very fast. A few
newspapers have followed the new
style, but as a general rule publica-
lions will not be the first by which
the new system is tried. 1t remains
to be seen whether the president will
obey his formerly expressed intention
Of abandoning the style if it should
not prove pnpular. He may not think
congress represents the popular will
in the matter. But a great many or
us who are too old or too lazy to learn
new spellings will be pleased that
congress does not intend to burden us
with official documents gotten up in
any new or fantastic modes of
spelling. &. ~: A.

from the recent election a revelation
4 Of their divine choice to run the

gard to the senate. There is a large
ajoritF Of republicans in the senate,

consideration for the welfare of the
party organization. 1t is being stated,

sheep from the goats in the upper
house, that it will be necessary for
the "insurgent republicans" to COM
bine with the democrats to insure the
legislation that the people want and
to prevent legislation they do not
want. Doubtless the republican ma
jority in the senate will agree upon
an organization that will represent
the wishes Of the majority and that
will accord with good party policy.

It is interesting to note the growth
and prosperity Of the counties Of the
state of North Dakota in the past
few years as gathered from the re.
ports of the state examiner. It will
be remembered that not so many
years ago a number of the counties
in the state, like many OF the in,
diViduals, suffered from the prevail,
ence of what were commonly known
as hard times" The country was
new, settlement in many instances
was sparse, there was little developed
wealth, and tax payments were
neither large nor prompt. All this
has changed in the past few years.
County after county now shows a
large surplus of assets over liabilities,
there is cash in the treasures and
warrants are payable on issue There
is no longer the necessity to figure,
as in other days, what was the dis
.'otooi une W WdlidubS.s- Tue Srduual In
crease in the wealth and prosperity
of the county organizations is the his.
tory of all frontier states. North Da-
kota. 1t may now safely be conceded,
has emerged from the frontier state
and is firmly upon a sound and endur.
ing financial basis. There may come
reEerses in some sections, as there
come in all states, but the permanent
and and abiding prosperity Of the state
is assured. B, y s5...:s 8s ss
