Wars That Wsrs Caused BY Wemsn.
do not think that any OF you are
ignorant my friends. that the greatest
wars have taken place on sccount Of
w"men--the Trojan war on account Of
Helen. the plague which took place In
II was on account Of Chrysels and the
war called the sacred war on account
Of Theano. This war lasted ten years.
The Crisraean war, which also lasted
ten years. was excited on this account
because the Crissaeans carried Oh
Megisto. the daughter Of Pelagon. and
the daughters OF the ArRives ~ they
were returning from the temple.
And whole families have been ruin
esi owing to women. For instance, that
OF Philip. the father Of Alexander. was
ruined ON account Of bis marriage with
Cleopatra. and Hercules VAS ruined by
his marriage with Ioie Athenaeus. 4

The next regular meeting OF the
county commissioners will be in Janu-
airy and at that time the personelle of
this body will be changed. Gust F'urs-
tenau will retire to take up the duties
of County Treasurer to which position
he has been elected by the people OF
the county. Gus. has made a very
capable official and the people are glad
that he has been selected for this
higher position. He will be succeeded
on the board by Frank Emigh, who It
is confidently expected will prove an
efficient, economical and pains taking
official. c. o. johnson who has SO
ably filled the chair the past year will
remain on the board. A new chairman
will be selected and new committees
appointed. The board have consider
able responsibility before them during
the coming year, and the. county
should congragate itself in having in
these important positions such able
men as G. O. johnson, Ole Nesseth,
T. H. Maloney, w. G. Samuels, and
Frank Emigh.

Of the republicans.Co Contrary
to this ruling the senatorial ballot was
voted freely by the democrats and they
in this way took an active part in the
selection of MIR. Johnson. This action
on the part of the democrats made it
impossible to decide whether the
choice thus made was really the
choice Of the republicans Of North
Dakota or not. n
1t would seem then that the legis-
lators are left to decide this matter
as they think best.
1t would seen under these circum.
stances that the representatives in tbs
legislature this winter should as ne IT
as possible cast their support for senat-
or to the man who is the choice of
those who elected them.
In Ramsey county at the June pri,
maries Senator Hansbrough had con-
siderable more votes than all the other
candidates put together. thus showing
that the people Of this county are very
largely in favor of the return of Mr..
Hansbrough to the U. s. senate, this
being the case the state senator and
members of the legislature from this
district are in duty bound to support
Senator Hansbrough this winter.

The democrats made their selection
at the primaries June 10Th, and placed
Mr.. Cashel's name before the legis-

The republicans failed to make a

The efficiency of the volunteer fire
department of Devils Lake was again
demonstrated Saturday morning when
they, by their efforts, sextinguished a
fire that was stubborn in the extreme,
and that to have let get under good

to property. The department in this
case as in all others have shown ef-

Alderman Halgren has shown the
proper spirit when he objected to the
erection of frame buildings within the
fire limits of the city. There are too
many loosely built fire traps in the
business part of Devils Lake now. It
was only through the heroic work of
the city fire department that there was
not a greater loss of property than
there was in the Saturday morning
fire. The building in which the fire
started was built with no foundation

Texas. This. the Railway Age believes.
was done in response to protests that
poured in from an parts of the state
against the reduction, by people who
realize that the war upon the roads
resulted in retarding tho development
of the State.
In this connection II Is noted that
the supreme court of Pennsylvania has
affirmed court decision declaring the
2-cent fare law unconstitutional; also
that Judge Mcpherson, sitting in fed
eral court at Kansas City, Mo, recent
ly delivered an opinion holding uncon-
stitutional the law OF Missouri, that
provides that a foreign railway that
transferred from state to a federal
court suit brought by a citizen Of
the state, should forfeit its right to
do business in the state. All these oo-
currences arc taken as a proof that the
voice of Justice is being heard above
popular clamor.
This Is as It should be. No wrong IL
ever rightea by the violation Of the
principles of fair play to all. Railroads
are entitled to a fair profit on the in
vestment as is every investor. Their
expenses are enormous, and the greater
part Of their earnings are distributed To
millions of employees, and through them
TO the various branches OF industry.
Through the medium Of the lines OF
transportation the commercial life

What would this country. or any coun-
try. be in this age without self-sus-

No ono will defend the discrimina-
ton some roads seem to be guilty of
against some localities in favor of
others; nor any other shortcomings OF
railroad managers, such as failure TO
give adequate service where there is
no competition, or, what Is still worse,
neglect in the matter OF safeguarding
the lives of passengers. But when
everything is considered, the fact re-
mains that both freight and passenger
rates have beer gradually reduced
during the last twenty-five years to
figures that seem low as compared to
earlier rates; also that no locality
would exchange the poorest railroad
service for the old-time stage coach
and freight team. Let wrongs be
righted by legal means, but let us not
forget to he fair even in criticism.

and Il was generally understood that

a VETERAN DAY.

Our correspondent at santnquin tells
OF plan recently adopted by school
teachers of Utah county, for the pur-
pose of making the children better ac-
quaintcd with the now aged builders
and defenders of the state.
In August, last he says, at a special
meeting of the school trustees ana
principals of the county, held at Pro-
vo County superintendent Eggertson
called attention to the necessity of in
culcating in the minds of all the school
children throughout the county Of a
more thorough feeling of respect to-
wards the aged and especially the
Veterans. In order to secure results.
he made special order that on the
Gath of January of each year surviving
Indian war veterans be invited to visit
the schoolhouses In their respective To-
calities and there recount their deeds
of patriotism, their trials. sufferings
and encounters in early days.
Gladly agreeing with the superlnten-
dent, the trustees. teachers and pupils
In nearly all the school districts Of the
county joined in heartily welcoming
and entertaining those old heroes OF
early days. Some had fought with
Kimball and Burton against Big Elk
some with Dewey at Thistle. some with
John Ivy at SEWER. some with Greer
at Diamond, others in other skirmishes
defending the emigrants on. the plains,
trailing stolen horses through Skull
valley or over the Tintic range. while
others stood guard around the settle
ments.
TO the children, those tales of long
ago were full OF interest and informa-
ton. The antlcipations of the origin
ators of the scheme were fully real
ICED.
This, 1t seems to us. Is good idea
The suggestion might be acted upon in
other parts of the State The Pioneers
and Veterans of early days are rapid
ly passing away, and their life's work
will soon belong to history only. To
the growing generation 1t would be an
tnessima.ble privilege to hear from |
their own lips the story IN which they |
took such a prominent part. There is
no reason why an annual Pioneer
day" or, veteran day." in the schools
should not be made both interesting
and instructive. This would be true
in any state in the Union, but particu-
larly in Utah
