AESPERANTO" THE FORMATION
Il Al LANGUAGE.

For almost a century the need OF a
language common to all the people OF
The world has been keenly felt and
numerous attempts to supply the need
have been made. Latin, Volapuk, and
Bolak have each been tried. and have
failed Some have hoped that English
would in time be adopted, but Eng
Hsh is too difficult. English spelling
is the worst in the world, the com
plexitv of the English vowel system
is very great and the 200 irregular
verbs and the difficulty to form COM
pound words forms climax TO our
most difficult grammar then too peo-
lple love their native tongue and in
Jerrational jealousy would form a
barrier to the adoption of any one
peoples language.
An international language must be
as neutral as our "Red Cross ana
as simple as it can be made. Such
language is Esperanto, the language
that now bids to become the language
that we may all speak.
Esperanto makes use of everything
that is common to all, or most Ian
guages and drops all that is pecu-
liar to any one of them, there is no
trouble with the spelling. the forma-
ton of compound words is marvellous
and it's grammar is exceedingly sim
pie.
This new language was compiled
or invented by DR.. L. Zamenhof OF
Warsaw, Poland, genius who con
ceived the idea from seeing difficulty
and feud arise from peoples not being
able to understand each other.
During the few years of it's exist
ence the language has spread with
wonderful rapidity. Esperanto clubs
have been formed in every country in
The world. 1t is recognized as pro-
spective language, by educators IN
France, Great Britain, Germany, Rus
sia Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Finland,
Bohemia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Norway,
Sweden, australia, New Zealand, Jap
an, India, Mexico, Peru, Chile, Cana
da and the United States.
Many universities have given it a
place in their curriculum among which
are the Ohio State University and
Harvard, Cambridge and the Univer-
stiles at Geneva, Stockholm, and
Glasgow. ~
Esperantists annually hold world
congress where steps are taken to
introduce the teaching of Esperanto
in the public schools
DR.. H. w. Morse of Harvard says
Of Esperanto: in spite of its sim
plicity Esperanto is far from limited
tn power and range. It's root words
may he coupled with prefxes and suf-
fixes to express the widest diverg-
ence and the subtlest shades Of mean
fng. in the hands Of a sympathetic
.an1 strong writer it's possibilities
are boundless-It is the greatest a.
chievement in intellectual progress
since the invention of printing"

CARNIVAL COME
AND GONE
Last Saturday was the Last Day Of
the EdqIeS Carnival.

Last Saturday night came. the clos
ing of the Eagles. carnival, which has
held the board and been the center OF
attraction for the past week. The
carnival has been big success from
an amusing standpoint, but financially
the attraction was not what was eX-
Dected. The attendance outside of
the home people was small and the
coming of the Bloomer Girls and the
circus drew large crowd from the
carnival that would have otherwise
stayed on the streets and what was
spent at these two ATTRACTIONS would
in all probability have been left at
the attractions OF the carnival.
The affair was managed very we'll
by those in charge and the Eagles
have received the most favorable
comment from all those taking in the
carnival, on the quiet and gentleman
ly manner in which the company pre-
senting the attractions conducted
themselves and the attractions were
all of a clean order and could be Wis
tied by anyone. Let us hope that the
next time the Eagles take hold of a
big affair of this kind it will be as
much of a success financially as this
was socially q
The bowery dance which was con.
Quoted west of E. W. Gilbertson's s
store was the real feature of the at
fractions last week: and every eve.
ming was largely patronized by the
young people of the city and those
from outside attending the carnival
This is the first bowery ever conduct
ed in Devils Lake that has been a
complete success and it will in al
probability be remembered for some
time by those attending.

and the salute in honor Of the day at
sunrise, They can spend the day in
shooting firecrackers and fireworks
and have a good time generally. -
Devils Lake will not celebrate this
year but there will be a celebration.
at the Chautauqua, grounds and a
great many of the people from VAR
ious parts of the county will be pres
ent to enjoy the festivities and take
in the two bail games between the
home team and Brinsmade, one in the
morning and the otler in the after
noon. This is an ideal place to
spend the day and for those that. do
not wish to. make merry on that day
they, can. rest in the shade and enjoy
the fresh invigorating breezes from
the lake and they can also enjoy boat
ing, swimming and, the many other
features of this resort
The management Of the Chautau-
qua have made special preparations
for the day and will have good sup.
ply of fireworks in the evening and
there will. be many Interesting things
happen during the day. The Chau.
tauqua is the ideal place to spend
tomorrow. '>.,.<
