Of war there would undoubtedly be
something doing in the Philippines.
Japan is much nearer to the islands
than this country, and it is possible
that she would be able to get foot
hold there In spite Of us-at least
for . time. Recent dispatches from
Manila, however, say that all classes
Of the Filipinos express themselves
strongly In favor Of the United States
as aginst Japan, believing that, II
Japan should get possession there, no
chance would exist for Filipino inde-
pendence at some future time. But,
while the strenuous nation OF little
brown folks might cause us to sit up
and take notice for few months,
there is little reason ~ fear for the
final result. This country is too rich
in men and money for Japan to stand
the ghost OF show in a prolonged
conflict. In the meantime, it is to be
hoped that calm and sensible counsels
will prevail, and that the statesmen
OF the two countries will find some
means Of avoiding war. for the prob
abilities are that it would not he u
picni: on either side.

ONE Of the new laws which went
into effect in this state July LIST.
makes marriage licenses issued in one
county good in another county. 1t Is
impossible for couple from outside
the state TO come here, get license
and be married in this state. Ii one
of the parties reside in the state aud
the other is from another state a IL
cc,ise must he secured in the county
where the resident resides and the
ceremony can be held in any county.
This is considered blow to elope-
mcnts from other states. and will
head OIL parties coming here to be
married, trusting that all will he we'll,
and that they can marry and be happy
ever after. The fact is that the law
is loosely drawn. 1t is not probable
that its author intended it should pre-
vent couples from other states coming
To North Dakota u marry. There
is such vast volume of bills dumped
before the two houses OF the legis-
lature at every session that it Is i'm
possible to give AL OF them careful
consideration.

A SEAT OF MANY ILLS.
Eye Strain IL Responsible For q Mum
ber Of Ailments.

When the specialist to whom they
had taken their sixteen-year-old daugh
eee on account Of what seemed to be a
case Of incipient melancholia diagnosed
the case as one of eye strain and or
dered prompt treatment from an ocu-
list, the parents of young New York
girl were astonishcd. Eye strain seem
cd as remote from melancholia as
would corns ON the feet. Their aston
lshment was proportionately increased
when after few treatments and ac-
quirlng glasses the child showed no.
ticeable improvement.
Latter day medical science traces to
eye strain many ills which seem SO re-
mote from the eyes that formerly ply
sicians never thought of establishing Il
connection between them. Sick head
ache. nervousness. melancholia, insom-
MIA. are but few which have of late
been laid to the door of weak eyes, the
proper treatment having been neg
lected.
Nervous diseases of the nature Of st.
vitus' dance are now thought to origi-
nate frequently in eye trouble. The
weak eyes blink necessarily. aud this
leads to general contortion Of the
facial muscles. which grows on the
subject through constant repetition

AT last Gov. Burke and the Grand
Forks Times have struck a proposition
to which both can agree. Both are
opposed to the initiative and referen-
dunn. The Times is feminist it be-
cause it is "a democratic measure,
and the governor because because
he thinks the iron-clad prohibitionists
are stronger than their opponents in
the state. But 1t seems likely that a
majority VI the people OF this state,
who believe thai direct legislation is a
broader AID more important question
than either prohibition or county
option license, will he in the majority
at the polls should the next legisla-
tive session order the proposition to

The American Bankers Association
has iilcda complaint with the Inter
state Commerce Commission against
the express companies that are en-
gagged In selling domestic and foreign
exchange. 1t is to be hoped that the
association will be successful. There
should be some force powerful enough
TO curb the insolence and extortion OF
the express corporations. Their rates
are excessive to q degree unknown in
any other line OF business, when money
invested In the plant Is taken into
consideration. These pets OF the rail-
road systems have very small amount
OF money tied up In their business.
In some good-sized cities they do not
own the building in which they do
business, and In many cities of a larger
size their team hauling is done by con-
tract with some dray line or baggage
transportation company. Particu-
larly in the matter Of express money
orders they enter into unfair compe.
tition with the local banks -institu-
tions that are factors in building up
the communities In which they are
located. There Is no more reason why
"a transportation company should, UNI
der it's charter, engage in money
order business than there is for 1t to
engage In running hotels or restau-
rants. At the last session of the
North Dakota legislature bill was
introduced that would have corrected
the evil in this state, but it lacked IA
majority on final passage However,
the discussion Of its provisions was Of
an educational nature, and the time
is undoubtedly not far ofY when i'm this
state. as In other states, express COM
panies will not only be compelled to
carry money and other property at

In the natter Of Dam. and fishtr.ps,

tame Warden Mahaney is making a
strong endeavor TO enforce the law in
regard to dams and tish-traps. He
states that he has informed those
who are violating the law by main
tanning dams or traps that they must
cease such violation. La some in
stances he has been told that the law
does not apply to them, as they own
the land on both sides OF the stream.
But such ownership makes no differ
ence, as the law applies to all streams
in the state. We quote from the Re
vised Codes in relation to this matter:
"Section 1890. There shall be erect
ed and maintained by the owner OF am
dam across any stream in this state
tishway at least one foot in depth at
the edge Of such dam. Of proper width
to allow all fish endeavoring to mi
crate to the waters OF such stream
above the dam to pass over the same.
Such fishway shall be placed at an
angle Of not more than 30 degrees, and
extend entirely to running water be-
low the dam, and it shall be protected
on each side by an apron at least one
foot in height, to contine the waters
therein. Such tishway shall be con-
structed under the supervision of the
county commissioners Of the county
wherein such dams are located, atsuch
places in such dam and built in such
manner and Of such material as they
may Direct"
"Section 949l. Whenever the owner
or occupant Of any such dam neglects
or refuses to construct such fishway or
chute over the same, the commission
ers Of the county in which such dam
is maintained shall proceed within
thirty days, on notice to them in writ
ing made by five freeholders of any
county through which the waterways
so damned shall pass. TO let the work
Of erecting such fishway or chute, and
providing material therefor, to the
lowest responsible bidder, and all ex-
pcnses attendant upon the erection or
maintenance Of the same shall be paid
by the over or occupant of the dam,
and shall be recovered in the name Of
the person building such tishway or
chute, upon the acceptance OF the
same by the county commissioners;
and, If not paid by such landowners
or occupants, the same shall become a
lien upon such property, and shall be
collected as is provided for enforcing
mechanics liens. II such board OF
county commissioners shall refuse OF
neglect to erect and maintain such
fishway or chute, after the notice t.
them required by this section, they
shall, upon conviction therefor, be ad
judged guilty of a misdemeanor, and
shall be punished by removal from Of

Beaver creek is considerable
stream. 1t is larger than some streams
in the state that are dignitied by the
name river" With no dams in the
creek, or with tishways around such
dams. there would be no Instructions
To prevent fish from passing up or
down stream between Red lake and
the Missouri river. Warden Mahancy,
who has lived in this part Of the coun-
ty more than twenty years, says that
there was good fishing in Beaver creek
before the many dams and fish-traps
we're put in. Were these distractions
removed, it is likely that there would
again be good fishing in the pretty
little stream that meanders through
the central part Of the county. The
writer has heard many words of ap-
prevail OF the efforts that Mr.. Maha-
ney is making to clear the stream Of
Illegal distractions. Certainly the
penalties are sufficiently drastic to
prevent anybody who knows OF their
provisions from violating them.

Those Measly .Currant Bugs. ;

Last week the Record referred to a
''gnat-like fly that is injuring the
currants. In it's back yard the Rec
ord has some currant bushes, and the
flies have attacked but three of them
out Of couple OF dozen. They do
not seem to -injure the bushes, but
suck the juice from the berries, which
shrivcl and drop Off. Some of the in
sects we're sent to the state agricultu-
raj college, and in reply Prof. WaIdren
writes:
"Mr. A. c. WAGNER, Linton, n. D.:
Dear Sir-l am i'm receipt Of letter
from Mr.. Irwin, inclosing some insects
which he says are destroying the cur
rant bushes. AS this insect feeds by
sucking the juice Of the plant, and
does not eat the foliage, IL cannot be
destroyed by poisoning. The ordinary
remedy in such cases is the kerosene
emulsion. This is made i'm the follow
ing manner: On the stove put tin
pail containing two quarts of water.
Into this shave about quarter of q
bar of hard soap. AS soon as the soar
is dissolved in the hot water, remove
from the stove and stir in one pint Of
Kerosene, stirring thoroughly until
the whole is il creamy mass. After
that add water until you have eight
quarts Of the mixture. This should
be sprayed upon the bushes as fine
spray. A large syringe or force puml
will answer the purpose.'
