Resolutions of Coincidence.

orrcs
AT a regular meeting of the City
Council of the City of Langdon, North
Dakota, held on Monday, July 9th 1908.
the following resolutions of coincidence
we're moved, seconded and unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, Almighty God in His infinite
wisdom has seen fit to remove from our
midst our late honored associate, Alder
man Malcolm Morrison, and
Whereas, his many years of service on
this board as a member OF the council:
his work and labor in the best interests
of the City of Langdon, and the intimate
and pleasant relations he sustained with
each and every member Of this board,
makes it e%minently fitting that we
should place upon our record this tribute
of respect to the memory of u deceased
associate:
Therefore, Be 1t Resolved, That the
City Council of the City of Langdon
will ever hold in grateful remembrance
the sterling integrity and business
qualifications, the patience and large.
mindedness in his work in behalf of the
public, and the genial disposition and
many good qualities of heart and mind
that made him respected and loved by
all with whom he came in contact;
That the sudden removal by the death
of our esteemed fellow citizen from the
position he held SO many years as alder
man on this board, creates a vacanc,
not easily filled, and that we fully realize
and deplore the loss sustained by this
council and by the public at large.
Resolved, That we hereby extend GU,
deepest sympathy to the bereaved rela
tives and friends of the deceased, trust
ing that even in the sadness of thei
affection they may find some consolation
in knowing that the worth of his privat,
qualities and the value of his public iif
are fully appreciated and valued at thei
true worth by us.
Be 1t Further Resolved, That a cop,
of these resolutions be properly engross
ed and presented to the family of GU
deceased brother alderman, and tn
resolutions be spread in the minutes O
this meeting and a permenent recor'
thereof made, and that they also b
published in each of the newspapers O
the City of Langdon.
By Order of the City Council:
JOHN SHEEHAN, City Auditor

Resolutions of School Officers.

The following set of resolutions we're
adopted by the meeting of school Off
GERS of Cavalier county which convened
in Langdon Thursday and Friday of
last week.
Resolved, That as the five year CON.
tract with the American Book Company
expires this year, and other book COM
panies are getting busy, it is not deemed
advisable to make any radical changes
in the books used at present, except in
one or two instances; and that such
changes should be made only under the
advice of the County Superintendent
and the Committee on Text Books, and
furthermore, it is not deemed advisable
to make any long time contract with any
company, as it is thought..best to keep a
free hand to adopt any book that the
committee thinks best for the interest
of tho schools.
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
body that the schools of our county
would be greatly improved by more fire.
quent visits from the County Superin-
tendent or some qualified assistant, and
that an assistant for this work of vista
ton is necessary because it is physically
impossible for one person to do the work
as it should be done. 1t is hereby re-
commended that State legislation be
enacted leading to more thorough and
helpful visitation in some such manner
Resolved. That it is the sense of this
meeting that winter sessions OF schools
are more profitable than summer
sessions, and that more winter schools
would, in our estimation, help answer
the question of more efficient visitation.
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
meeting that the apportionment law, as
it stands, works a hardship in some
cases, and it is recommended that our
legislature be asked to change or amend
said law to the effect that the enumera-
ton remain as at present, but that the
apportionment be granted on the at,
tendance of pupils between eight and
fourteen years of age on the basis OF
seventy-five. per cent of attendance for
sixty days.
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
body that a committee of five direc tors
be selected by this body to attend the
next meeting of the State Teachers
Association at Valley City, and report
to it at next School Officers Meeting.

Fisticuffs and Discipline.

1t is claimed that only by fighting Oh
the part of the GREY can discipline on
shipboard be maintained in the navy.
But if that law were to apply to fam
lilies and schools. where impulsive
young men abound, every community
in the land would have to maintain
mammoth rings for the settlement OF
the countless disputes arising every
hour of the day.
Unless human nature is changed rad
ically by being transplanted to a war
ships deck the penalty system should
work there as well as in civil life. If
the aggressor in q dispute were re-
quired to make an apology or pay a
fine or go into irons or to leave the
service With a dishonorable discharge
in case he demurred at the milder pun
ishment. there would no doubt be less
inclination among seamen to wrangle
and come to blows.

Russia,s Deep Gloom.

According to the pathetic story of
Professor Paul Milyoukov, the leader
Of the Russian Liberals, who recently
spoke in this country, the empire of
the car is q land Of gloom, with moth
ing whatever pointing to a brighter fu-
ture except hope. There if anywhere
on earth today those terrible words Of
the poet are realized in all their bitter
suggestiveness, "Man never is but al
ways to be blessed" Nothing is want
ed from America, the professor de-
clares, but sympathy-a Thought" as
the mind curists would describe ito
keep alive hope in the Russian breast.
The Liberals can have no living, grow
ing organization, no party in the sense
that we have parties, no institutions to
be the "cradle of liberty" Even the
parliament, it seems, is to be twisted
by the autocrats into an instrument for
legalizing and perpetuating oppression.
Within the past two years over 49,
600 Russians have been condemned for
political offenses, and among them
were LOO directors of the public press.
Nearly 1000 newspapers and period
icals were snuffed out by the edicts of
the car. To us it Is cause for Won
der that the hungerers after freedom
do not writhe in their chains until they
are severed by the very force Of num-
bers and the irresistible energy Of the
passions. But there is no pull alto
gether" anywhere in hapless Russia.
Even the a%utocrats do not hang togeth-
er day by day or there would not be
even hope left to the submerged mass.
AS for the Liberals, they are smitten
with that bane of the Russian temper
ament-the craze for conspiracy. Rus
STA lacks men of direct, open, bold
method which all can see through and
which in most countries arouses al
legiance and draws in recruits. For
centuries the peoples bordering on the
Mediterranean were stepped in intrigue
intrigue whose weapons were poison
and the dagger. With his Corsican
blood Napoleon was nothing if not a
plotter and n schemer. Every Russian.
from "a to moujik, expects always to
"get there by some sort of hocus
pocus originating with himself and to
be worked out by himself practically.
Instead of individuality being stamped
out under the iron heel Of %autocracy in
Russia, the land is swamped under in
dividualism. There is no unity OF
thought and purpose and consequently
no continuity of effort, none of that
ceaseless dropping of patriotic blood
upon a single obstacle, which will he
necessary before the frowning pyra
mids of oppression can be worn away.
