How to Honor the Brave.

In anticipation of ceremonies at An
napolis President Roosevelt evidently
became impressed with some of the OBJ
legations (Which rest on the present
generation, and the convictions which
were thus inspired were uttered with
his characteristic directness and en-
ergy. He dwelt first of all on the duty
of midshipmen to make the mast of
themselves. for their countrys sake.
He then discussed a feature of a later
war than the Revolution which is COM
monty overlooked.
During the struggle of 1924 there
were heroic achievements in which
Americans may we'll feel pride. but
the nation was also subjected to pro-
found and needless humiliation An
inconsiderable force of the enemy was
able to invade the capital because
there was not an adequate navy to
protect the coasts. The president at
tributes that notifying and costly ex-
perience to 'parsimony" and Short
siehtedness." He pleads, therefore,
with those whose official status enables
them to exert any influence in the
matter to strive to avert future disaster
proceeding from the same causes.
Heroes can do little without the neces-

modern design and equipment Here
are truths which the country already
begins to appreciate and which con-
gress has of late shown a disposition
to recognize. Nevertheless, they can
not be reiterated too often. The
President has performed a service in
presenting them afresh.
Some excellent suggestions were Of
fered by the president about the true
way to honor the brave. 1t is we'll to
applaud their deeds. but mistake to
go no further. For a nation to rest
on it's laurels is to sink into decay.
True patriotism lies in vigilant atten-
ton to present and future emergencies,
and not in vainglorious reflection up
on the past. This is bit of gospel
which is addressed not alone to the
men who fill administrative and legis-
lative posts in Washington. but to the
intelligent masses as we'll. To large
extent. if not absolutely, the measures
adopted by the government are dictated
by public sentiment. When the voters
of the United States realize that the
best homage to be paid to John Paul
Jones is the construction of a navy
worthy OF the nation for which he
fought, they can count on having their
beliefs translated into action.

it can be said that the patriotic citizen
ought to lend his name to his party

people themselves as readily as before

convention system often brushed aside
the best as we'll as the worst, and
preferred a very suDServient sort of
mediocrity. The primary election law
will be educational in its effect The
people can be trusted to save the peo-
pie, and we venture the prediction
that the primary election law is here
to stay and in due course of time will
be extended to cover the nomination
of candidates for state offices.
Judge William Murray has about
decided toarop his receptive attitude
and become an active candidate for
sheriff or clerk of the district court.
Murray has been known as "Bill" ever
since he left Scotland. He is the sort

Nobody who knows him ever calls
him William. He is able, frank and
neighborly He has a host of friends
all over the county ana will put up a
strong fight for anything he goes after.
Former Governor Devine expresses

Minot, April 3O.-The Reorganiza-

Billy Carroll has experienced another

Major Murphy and the opposition fac

Murray for the winner.
Auditor Fabrick's bout with the
county commissioners has evidently
strengthened him with the people, and
there is no sign of an opposition can
didate at the present time. Register
of Deeds Reishus and Supt of Schools
Warren are also without opposition,
but there is no telling what the future
will develop.
j. G. Mitchell will not stand as a
candidate for another term as county
treasurer and says he is done with
politics for all time to come Mitchell
could have another term for the ask
ing, but says the game is too fierce
for him. A. c. Nedrud and the present
deputy in the Office is the leading can
didate for this position, and will make
a strong bid for the nomination Ned
rud is an old settler and we'll qualified
for the position. He will have en-
thusiastic support and is very apt to
land the nomination. James w. Briggs
of Minot, is also in the field Briggs
served one term at register of deeds,
but two years ago bolted the party
ticket and was defeated at the polls.
NJ. c. Egan residing in the western
part of the county. has announced his
candidacy, and will have some support
from that section.
Sheriff Lee has made good and will
make a strong pull for second term
The office of sheriff is the best paving
position in the county, and there are
likely to be one or two more candi-
dates in the fight within the next week
or two. Sam Richardson of Bowbells,
and one of the deposed commissioners
has already announced that he will
appeal to his constituents for a vindi-
cation and will make the race against
Commissioner Abbott who succeeded
him on the county board. The race
will I've a lively one with the chances
in favor of Abbott or some candidate
not yet in the field. T.. S. Severance

county surveyor without serious OPP
position.

marked that's the best joke have
heard for long while" Warden
Boucher inquired ii Major Murphy was
on the sick list. etc. However, there
is considerable truth in the statement
The bitter feeling OF two years ago
has entirely disappeared, and the pres
ent situation will puzzle the most
astute politician. The reorganization
party is divided against itself. and the
Murphy faction is no longer under the
leadership of the gallant major. Bob
Sanborn is not a factor in Ward coun-
ty politics and eX-Mayor Roach says
to a large extent that he is out of poll
tics. l.. D. AlcGahan is too busy as
register of the A1inot land Office to take
an active part in the present campaign
and both sides are looking for politi-
cal Moses to lead them out of the will
derness OF course there will be
struggle for control of the county del
egation. if not in the interest of rival
candidates from the county. then in
the interest of the state machine or
against it. We respectfully decline TO
hazard our reputation as prophet
in order to make prediction as to the
outcome.

s.H.ERW|N ESTATE suEDFoR $4,000
Cottage Manual Training School of
Spokane Begins Suit On Con-
tract Signed by Old Pioneer.

The estate of Samuel H. Erwin, the
old Prescott pioneer, killed a few
months ago by falling off a load OF
hay, breaking his neck, was plunged
into litigation this morning when the
Cottage Manual Training school of
Spokane began suit against Mrs. Mary
j. Erwin, widow of the old pioneer and
sole executrix Of his estate, to collect
the sum of $4,000 alleged to be due the
corporation under the terms of a con-
tract entered into between Mr.. and
Mrs. Erwin and the Cottage Manual
Training school on October %, 1905.
Claim Fraud Was Practiced.
1t is understood that Mrs. Erwin
will repudiate the contract that she
and Mr.. Erwin entered into on the
grounds that fraud was practiced on
them. 1t is said that the Cottage
Manual Training school did not have
title to the ground in question when
the contract was signed and that it's
value was way below what was rep
resented to them. j. w. Williams,
president of the Cottage Manual
Training school was formerly presi-
dent of the Northwestern Home
Finding association at Spokane,
whose affairs were found to be in an

RUSH FOR LANDS.
Much New Settlement in bayfield,
County.

Much New Settlement in Bayfield,
County.
WASHBURN, Wis, April 21.-With
the opening of spring begins the rush
Of outsiders to take up lands in this
county and, according to all reports,
this year will be a banner year in the
history of Bayfield, county in the set
Ting of it's lands. Many settlers have
already come here with their farming
implements and stock. and have begun
clearing the land to make them a farm
home, while many others will come a
little later
Among those coming here are farm
ers from North and South Dakota, and
as far west as Montana, being at
tracted by the extremely low price that
land is selling for. All yho have set
tied upon the land are unanimous in
it's praise as a farming country, and
believe it is bound to come to the
front in very short time.
The lands that are being taken are
cut-over timber lands which, until the
past five or six years, were almost en-
tirely devoid of habitations. Since that
time there has been a wonderful
change, and today settlers who are till
ing the soil are in evidence almost
everywhere, and land that could then
be bought as low as 81 an acre has in
creased in value until it is now selling
for IS, $40 and even as high as $25
an acre.
Fruit farms and ranches are being
started, and a firm at Sparta is cOnsid-
ering the ACCESSIBILITY of coming to this
section for the purpose of starting
large strawberry farms to supply the
markets of the northwest with late
berries.
Land men in this vicinity say that
thousands of acres will be sold during
the coming summer, most of which will
go to actual settlers.
