POLITICAL scAREcRoW

AlaSka'S enemies are hard pressed indeed when they bring forward the argument that the northern country should not be given a territorial form of government because the area in- volyed is uon-contiguouS. That is a mere political Scarecrow. There IS nothing in the law or history of the country to sustain the contention. Such argument is popular only with those who wish to check the progress of the nation.
 Alaska, with a we'll organized terri torial government, will be less dan gerous to the peace of this country than Alaska is now. The nation is not without experience in such mat terS. However much men may differ with respect to our Philippine venture, considered as a permanent policy, it will be freely admitted that liberal concessions made 10 the islanders, un- der Secretary Tafts wise recommenda- tions, have done more 10 pacify the natives and to turn them into the ways of peace, industry and thrift, than all the soldiers and prowling con- stabulary thrown into the archipelago since the beginning of American occu- patton, Hawaii is another example.

Turkish Customs

Should you call upon Turkish othc- ial in any part of the Empire, you no sooner take your seat upon the divan, than a servant passes you the ever present cigarette. At the same moment, the official claps his hands to summon another servant who will pass you tiny cup of bitter coffee. To re- fuse it is an act of discourtesy. Forti- fled with the coffee and cigarette, you are supposed to be ready for the inter- view which you have sought. The way is then open for inquiries regard ing your health, and for the exchange of lattering compliments. Thus the subject uppermost in your mind is gradually approached. Should the interview be prolonged, the servants with the coffee and cigarettes appear at frequent intervals, and the more frequent their appearance, the greater is the honor shown you.

THE AMERICAN BISON

This animal, usually called a buffalo, once ranged over the broad west mill lions in number. The Indians and the white man are both deeply indebted to this wild animal of the plains, but the debt has never been paid with grati- tude even.
 Cortez and his men are said to have first seen the buffalo in the menagerie of King Montezuma nearly 400 years ago. From that time on the buffalo became valuable factor in the white mans life. Thousands of early set tiers, and those who crossed the plains before the days of the railroad, were saved from intense suffering, and even from death in many instances by the food and clothing derived from the

Hebrew Way of It

Many Hebrew woman finds her self widow while still mere girl, and no sooner does she return from the fresh grave of her husband than she offers herself to his next younger brother It may be that he will marry her, but if already married, or if for any reason he does not desire her, he manifests his unwillingness by splitting upon her dress. Thus he repudiateS all claims upon her and she is free to seek husband elsewhere. The strange custom of splitting may seem disgusting or at least untidy, but it is done with respect and consideration and does not imply contempt. It gives the widow freedom to select her sec ond husband.

buffalo. But as soon as the transcon' tinental railroads were opened up, hordes of men overran the range and ruthleSsly slaughtered the animals till from millions they were reduced to so few that we began to speak of the but- falo as practically extinct.
 It is claimed that buffalo calf can be brought up on cows milk, and that he is easier to rear and less expensive to feed than a domestic OK, that his flesh closely resembles ordinary beef, and his robe is of great value. It is claimed, too, that he might be sheared as sheep and the product sent to market.
 The American bison might yet be saved and made to contribute great wealth to those who would properly rear them on a large range.

Dog Values Decreasing

Dog stealing does not seem to be so comr on this winter as last winter, but every now and then one is missed by it's master and complaint is lodged with the marshal'S office.
 There are a good many idle dogs around Fairbanks, compelled to rustic their own living, but if any one hap pens to take one of these the owners make themselves known fast enough.
 Jack Phillips, who deals in dogs, says there is some demand and that good dogs bring as high as $50 and $6O each. He says there are not many good dogs running loose.
 It is interesting to note that two yeas ago good dogs sold as high as $50 each. The advent of the horse has greatly lesSened the demand for ca hines in the Panama. The trails and roads built by the government have made it possible to use horses on all the main routes of travel, and it is just possible that a full-Hedged dog team will be as great curiosity in a few years time as Indians are now in western railroad tOwns.-FairbankS News.

PASSING OF SLANG

Theyur all preach CT ridden, which i, quite as bad as to be priest ridden Society is split on deuomiuauoual lines, and bubbles, squab0Ies and much maSticutiug of the lint takes the place of thought and civic pride."
 Masticating of the lint is good We are beginning to lift our slang out of the phraseology of the hoi polloi and to make it classical. Soon we shall no more hear the phrase, that's the limit" but instead one will hear, that's the ne plus ultra. No more chewing the rag' over the back fence, or at the interdenomina- tional rally, but the sparriug members will systematically get down to maSti- eating the lint, and the bum eXpreS- Sions of vulgar age will have melted to their void.

MOTTO ON COINS

Morris Sheppard of Texas introduced bill in the house of representatives at the present session providing that the words "iu God We Trust" should b. retained upon the coins of the United States. lie made au eloquent speech on the subject and was applaud ed to the echo. The speech was printed in congressional record to- gcther with long list of letters from the Christian Herald, all of which lamentcd the assumed lack of wisdom. not 10 say impjety, in emitting the motto from our recently issued gold coins.
 This all goes to show how much stress k placed upon forms, especially if they are in any way connected with our religious beliefs. The prophets of old were wont Co inveigh against the useIeS, and goddess sacrifice of animals as means of appeasing a supposedly angry god. But the priests followed by the people were accustomed Co the sacrifcjal forms and the good meals connected with them, and would have none of the clearer views of the seers of Israel
 A vast deal of that old superstition exists today. If We should soon have naval encounter with the Japanese fleet, and some of our inferior battle ships shot full of holes, there would go up a loud wall that the defeat came because we had omitted the familiar motto from our new coins.
 ''Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesars; and unto God the things that are Gods" ''The place 10 show faith is in the lives of our citizens and in the influence of our government, and let Us make our coinage of a faith-keeping com monwealth, says Henry :. Bonteu of Illinois.
 Many men are ever jealous for an outward show of piety, and cannot di- vest themselves of the deceptive be- lief that by such show they can in some way trick Jehovah and win his protective power. Whether "In God We Trust" is on our coins or no, we believe with Burns:
 The heart ayes the part aye
 That makes Us right or wrang.

Jobs Friends

Take warning by the example of my old namesake and patron Job, and don't try to appear better than you are. People don't dare to be them selves out of fright, sheer fear of pun ishment; they neither take what they want nor do what they will. Jobs friends were just such feeble crea- lures, they feared to offend Jehovah and so they said; You've done wrong, Job; you must have. Do you mean to tell Us that God punishes the Guilt less? But Job said; No, Damn you, l have not Sinned and God puniShes whom he will. You see Job was hon. est and brave, and dared say what he thought, and in the end God said: You have we'll spoken, Job. You are a thing of naught, a stupid ass, but you are upright. And the good pious friends were sent home like naughty children with a Scolding.-The Deeps of Deliverance.

It is because men are prone to be partial towards those they love: unjust towards those they hate, servile to- wards those above them, arrogant to- wards those below them, and either harsh or over-indulgent to those in poverty and distress, that it is so diff ficult to find one capable of exercising sound judgment with respect to the the qualities of others. Therefore it is the part of wisdom to withhold judgment and immerse ourselves in our own affairs, in order that others may attend to theirs.--Confucius.

ON THE PROCEEDINGS,

Dickinson, N. D., April 24.-(Special
Correspondence)-The county conven.
ton held here last Tuesday was mark
ed by complete absence of all fac
tionalism. Complete harmony prevail
ed at all times, and after the meeting
had adjourned there could not be
found Republican voter in the coun-
ty who was not satisfied with the re-
suit. The candidates advanced by the
so-called stalwart faction were an
| questionably Endorsed for all places,
but that was done because such candi.
| dates were the best men for the
place, and because tehy are all men
who can be trusted to carry out the
| wishes of the county in the political
field. The county is overwhelmingly
for Taft, and it is certain that the re-
suit of the convention will be indorsed
by the individual voters at the pri-
maries in June.
Resolutions indorsing the manner in
which the Republican party has been
led to victory in the last decade wera
carried unanimously. During the de-
alterations of the convention there
were no criticisms passed on methods
in the past, and Stark county can
safely be aligned with the other parts
of the state to present a solid front
with which to combat the machina-
lions of few disgruntled office seek
ers who would live at the expense of
the state.
Hon. c. B. Little of Bismarck was
favored by most of4the delegates for
the senatorial toga at present worn by
Senator Hansbrough. While there
was no active work done at the con-
vention, the delegates spent consider
able time discussing the situation and
a poll of the members showed that the
Bismarck man will get majority of
all the votes to be cast. Hon. L. B.
Hanna of Fargo and Hon. A. j. Gron-
ma, candidates for congress, were also
favorably mentioned, as were several
| other candidates for state Offices. In
nearly every case the stalwart candi-
| dates were three to one stronger than
their opponents.
One delegate summed up the sena.
torial situation in the following man.
ner: I'VE farmers are as much inter
ested in the senatorial race this year
as in any other contest, probably more
so, and we certainly want a man who
| understands the situation in the state
j Little has been in close touch with us
farmers for the past several years and
knows what we want. The Slope
country is entitled to representation
and l know that most of my friends
will support our candidate"
There was conspicuous absence OF
contests at the convention. r. H

J the national convention in Chicago
