Matt Quay's Great Strategy.
From "The National Conventions

tan Magazine: Benjamin Harrison
was put in the field against Cleve-
land in 1888. Senator M. S. Quay
was in the van of the Republican
battle, and Mr.. Quay did thing that
will be talked about as long as our
political system endures Four years
before there had been grave charges
in New York of colonization by both
sides-that is, the Importation of
non-residents to vote in New York
City to help carry the all-important
state. Mr.. Quay professed to believe
this practice had carried the state
for Cleveland. He met man in a
small town in Jersey and gave him
secret instructions to carry out which
was well paid. Shortly afterward a
new firm of directory publishers
opened offices in New York City,
but no new directory appeared. The
campaign was ending in a great burst
of accusation. COLONIZATION every

of the leaders of the Cleveland cam
paign in New York, and took him to
the new directory Office, where books

These books he said, contain the
names of the men who have right
to vote. If any others vote the jails
won't be big enough to hold them
And there was a minimum of illegal
voting, at least on the Democratic
side, in New York that year.

The Perfect Public Servant.

William H. Taft is big man phys
sically; not merely fat, but big. His
friends love Bill Taft. And they
thought when the president first
mentioned him for the presidency
that the people would accept him
for his own sake's sake; with affec-
ton. Serene; sure; just absolutely
unselfish and, therefore, fearless; not
merely courageous, mark you, but
careless of personal consequences,
Mr.. Taft is rare combination of
"the good fellow" and ''the good
man for Office" that We Americans
have sighed for so long. Why havn't
the people taken to him with enthus-
iasm?
At the close of his Philippine adj
ministration, the president describ-
ed Taft as the perfect public SER
want" Speaking of another man,
the president said that he is able,
brave, expert, and absolutely trust
worthy; that he does his duty up to
the handle, but he does it to be pro-
noted. "And / respect ambition as
a motive" the president explained
sharply ut is fine." But he said
that Taft does his duty for duty's
sake, out of sheer patriotism and
self respect. There isn't thought
of himself in his head. That's why
he wanted him at home. He put the
other man out in the service. "Taft
I want near me; I want to see him
every day."
This Judgment, spoken with feel
ing, and repeated afterwards, with
ever fresh examples of~services rem
dered all around the world-this
sentiment accounts for the presi-
dents wish to have Taft, the disin-
terested. succeed to the presidency

more than a mere means of physical
western climate and the character
of the soil. Irrigation has made the
desert to bloom. The farmer has
planted trees, which, checking the
bitter winds, have also caused in
creased rain fall. In short, as the
result of the advent of the western
railroads, the climate has become
milder, the rainfall greater, and the
cold less severe.
The west as it was first won was
comparatively unproductive of
freight. OF the present vast local
traffic there was practically nothing.
The west as it is being won anew
today is storehouse for freight,
and this new condition, together with
the realization Of the commercial pos
sibilities of the west. have brought
about the new winning of it with the
Western Pacific.
To understand this, consider the
construction of such a road as this
latest Of the Pacific group. Compare,
for instance, the $4,000 tons of
freight which represented the move
ment from the Missouri river in the
year 1860 to the Santa Fe district
(and there was no eastward move
ment them with the millions of car
loads of freight which originate in Or
are shipped to the single state of
California. And one must consider
not only the actualities, enormous
as they are, but also the even great
er possibilities, says Appelton's Mag

The bankers Of North Dakota have
frequently gone out of their beaten
path for the good Of the state at
large, and have made a good fight for
better grading of grains, and other
things in the interest of the farmer.
all of which have borne good fruit,
and in many ways the association
stands for all movements that make
for the good Of the state at large. In
addition to this, the bankers are pref

have made us that loan we wanted
so badly, and keep renewing it from
fall to fall. etc. They will be given a

MILLIONS FOR
new N. D. SCHOOLS
DURING PAST FOUR MONTHS S.
100000 HAS BEEN EXPENDED
FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF.
EDUCATION OVER THIS STATE
OF OURS.

Fargo Forum: One thing that
shows the rapid increase in the popu-
lation of North Dakota and of the steps
that are being taken to provide the
children of the state with an educa-
ton, is the fact that within the last
four months nearly $5,000,0oO has
been expended in the building or IN
tracing for the building of school
houses and educational institutions.
These figures do not take into account
the fine and expensive structures
which have been erected at the ag-
ricultural college, Fargo college and
other similar institutions which have
been built over the state prior to
March 1. 1t is the cost of structures
that have been started, contracted for
or plans made for educational build
ings since that time.
Among the most notable buildings
are the school and convent school at
Devils Lake, the former at 100000
and the latter at $4,000; a school
building at Casselton, $S;6SS; Knox,
$11,799; Rolette, $4,000: Ryder, So
81: Binford, $7,357; Glen Ullin, s12,.
$50; Langford, $1,000; Inkster. s15,-
$50; agricultural college seed barns
at Fargo, $3,310; Hatton, $22,63S, and
Redfield. $4,000.
Besides these there have been city
and district schools ranging from
S., 900 to $4,000 at Medford, Edmore:
Overly, Donnybrook, Taylor, district
Is, Temple, Mandan, Spring Valley
district, Halliday, district 10, Gaber
district 8, Sanders, district AZ. Bel

building; Oriska, Oakdale, Neville
Ellendale district. Goodrich, Grennell
Garrison, two district houses; For
man, Dogden, Douglas, Milton, two
story addition; Bismarck, Linden dis
trict, Ashland and several others
The cost does not include furnish
ings and is simply for the construc
ton of the building proper and in one
or two cases the cost of the heatins
plant has been figured in. What thu
total cost of furnishing, heating ant
other accessories would be is impos
sible to figure accurately, but at ;
very conservative figure win ad,

to look over this list and see how tn
educational needs OF the children {
the state are provided for in the .as
three months. It shows the patr

which leads them to give the f'ltur
