Willie .. Shull.

Mr.. Willie D. Shull, one of Lexing-
ton county's best men, died Jan. 26,
1908, and was buried the following
day at St. David's church, the funer-
al services being conducted by his
pastor, Rev. R. E. Livingston, assist
ed by Rev. J. A. Cromer.
Mr.. Shull had been in failing health
for several months, but not confined
to his bed quite three weeks. He was
a son of Mr.. Daniel Shull and was re-
garded as man of the best integrity
"a man whose life was just what it
should have been.
He will be missed in the church, as
he was one of the officers and was al
ways ready to lend helping hand to
every one; the community has lost a
good man; the wife an affectionate
husband and the children kind and
loving father. Weep not dear ones
He's gone to the land where troubles
cease,
Where all is light and life and peace,
The land where holy angels sing
Eternal praises to their king.
The land where the redeemed will
meet
And worship at the Saviour's feet;
Pay homage to the father, son,
And holy spirit three in one.
The land where Jesus reigns supreme,
Where ali is lovely and serene;
Where peace, sweet peace and joy do
roll,
From jesus breast to every soul.
No sickness. sorrow, pain or death;
No throbbing heart, no, poisnous
breath,
Can enter this fair land Of bliss
To mar his perfect happiness.

ToMoRR0W's BIRTHPLACE.
Line In the Pacific Where 1t Shakes
Hands With Yesterday.


Most people who have read Jules
vernes around the World In Eighty
DAYS" will remember how narrowly
the traveller missed his bet, having for
gotten that in following the sun from
east to west he had gained one day.
When one crosses the Atlantic from
London to New York he gains rather
more than half an hour each day.
From New York to Chicago another
hour is gained, another to Denver, an
other to San Francisco, which is rreck-
oning time eight hours later than Lon
don and of course the best part OF q
day later than Shanghai and Iokoha-
ma. In crossing the Pacific there
comes a time when the day begins,
where yesterday and tomorrow shake
hands and where the traveller is cheat
ed out Of day in his life.
In mid-Pacific, going west, one sklps
from Sunday to Tuesday. Going east
he has one day Of the week repeated
two Sundays or Tuesdays, as the case
may be.
The line of the changing day IS not
q straight one. The islands in the Pa
cifc take their time from the continent
with which they trade and from Which
they were discovered. Thus the line
of the change zigzags down the Pa
cifc from south to north, lodging be-
tween the islands.
Hence it might easily happen that a
ship which has already skipped day
would reach an island which cllngs to
San Francisco time. In such case 1t
would be Monday on shore and Tues
day on the ship.
If the ships jolly boat were lying at
q wharf, it would be Monday on the
wharf and Tuesday on the boat.
And if a person lives somewhere
near the line he can get sailboat and
visit yesterday and tomorrow IN the
most delightful fashion.

POLITICAL FORECASTS.

At present we here much of political
tcrecasting. But the political prophets
have as yet but little to base predictions.
So far as we can see and hear the regu-
lar partisans of each party are as usual
partisans, and there has nothing occurred
either in the nominations or platforms to
make any remarkable changes. AS to
the great floating vote, without special
or positive convictions there seems no
reason as yet why they should not di-
vide up as they generally do and give to
both parties share of their votes. In
some states, as there always are, there
are local questions and personal candi-
dates and fractional strife,but why these
should cut any more figure than usual is
not apparent. We believe that in the
last analysis Just before the election day,
that the people will have thought out
the questions presented and will decide
that Bryan means disturbance and that
Taft means continuance-and will vote
to let we'll enough alone.

At Grafton on Tuesday it was decided
at the meeting of the editors to form a
non-political editorial association for
Walsh, Pembina and Cavalier counties.
Editor Mitchell of Mimic was elected
temporary president, editor Rishoff of
Milton secretary, and editor Minder of
Crystal treasurer. These were empower
ed as executive committee to invite
all 7th Judicial district editors to join
the association, to prepare constitution
and by laws, and to call meeting for
permanent organization. AS the state
Editorial Association members find it
impossible to get together under present
conditions it is proposed that similar
associations as these may be formed in
each Judicial district, and that these
local associations hold sort of repre-
sentative or delegate gatherings which
may execute such buslpess for the state
fraternityas may be needed or desirable.
Several other local associations have al
ready been formed in the stste and it is
thought the movement may be made
general.

NEWSPAPER HAR-MONEY.

A
There was a harmoney meeting of the
republican newspaper men of the 7th Ju-
dicial district at Grafton on Tuesday.
There were about dozen republican
editors present. including Messrs. Hagar,
Lampman, Lee, Minder and .Wardwell Of
this county. Editor Hagar was elected
chairman and editor Lampman secre-
tary. Mr.. Hall, secretary of the state
committee, Hon. g. A. Johnson, nominee
for governor, Hon. 4. B. Hanna, nominee
for representive, Hon Thos. MARSHALL
nominee for senator, and Superintendent
Stockwell were also present. Though
the meeting was especially for the edi-
torial fraternity there were perhaps one
hundred townspeople also in the court
room where the exercises were held.
After the prehminaries, Hon. q "A.
johnson and Hon. 3. B. Hanna gave

the line of harmonious and energetic
work for the balance of the campaign,
and that 80 far as candidates and com.

ance to be settled then and there. Chair
man Hager then addressing the gentle
men who had just been speaking, after
detailing his persoaal woes during the
late political unpleesantness, and stating
that he had received no printing patron
age from Mr. Cooper, the assurance COM
missioner, or from Mr.. Blaisdell, the
secretary of state, he wanted to know if
Messrs. johnson and Hanna had the au-
thorlty to state that the square
dear' they had spoken of, applied to the
st. Thomas Times, and if he could have
their personal assurance that TINT paper
was to have its share of public printing
patronage.
This very important political issue
then occupied the floor and attention of
the meeting for the next two hours,
during which some pointed remarks ON
several ssdes were made by different
speakers, while the audience enjoyed the
proceedings with about the same degree
OF interest as they would have viewed
any other dog tight. Notwithstanding
some very emphatic denials by editor
Hagar, the consensus of opinion seemed
to be that his individual interest ia re-
publican newspaper harmony was entire
ly conferred in the last two syllables..
After this public display of dirty linen
there were efforts to get back to the real
business of the meeting, and there we're
speeches by Messrs. Marshall, Frame,
Smith-Peterson, Laxdal and others, but
the Il swat-tering" deluge of Chairman
Hagar had cooled the political atmos-
phere to the freezing point, notwith-
standing the thermometer stood at ninety
degrees out doors.
AS an actor on the theatrical stage,
brother Hagar would undoubtedly make
a grand success in the character Of
"a Ball in China-Shop."

MAILS and RAILROAD cENTERs.

Grafton business men have sent in a
petition to Norman Perkins, superinten-
dent of the mail service, asking for
mail service between Pembina and st.
Vincent on Sundays. In reply, supt.
Perkins states that. efforts are being
made to get y contractor to carry the
mail, and hoped that he had succeeded. {.
The trouble is that Uncle Sam Is the
hardest employer of labor Of this sort
that we have. We understand that q
tender of IS dollars a month has been
sent in and turned down, to bring the
mail twice day from Noyes (adjoining
Emerson) to Pembina via st. Vincent.
The distance is about Eve miles, twice a
day, with ferry to cross and pay for a
horse and wagon. That surely ought to
be cheap enough when one considers
that in the spring and fall, when the ice
is coming or going, it is both troublesome
and dangerous to eros
But the situation is pointer, showing
that the railroad situation is changing
when Grafton and points north of the
Forks are now tributary to us for their
mails. This is the natural railroad CEN
ter. Nature made it SO and it will come.
Look at the map. Three main lines on
this side meet two main lines on the
other side of the international boundary
line, and another main line road survey
ed to be built next year. This the nat.
ural gateway for the great Canadian
northwest, which greatness we are Just
beginning to realize. The -Four Corners

BRYAN AND LABOR.

The labor questions in this campaign
as presented by the democratic party
appeal to the more selfish of the labor
ing class. 1t is very similar in manner
to the platform of the democratic party
in the 4'silver" campaign. Then the de.
mocratic party answer to the republican
statement that the silver dollar would
be only worth fifty cents was, that no mat
ter what it's value or how much it would
purchase, yet it would apply dollar for
dollar on previous debts and mortgages.
This argument appealed very directly to
the debtor class, but they thought it out
before election day and the voters OF
this nation then and there told Mr..
Bryan that they believed sthat honesty
is the best policy"
Now the democratic party says to the
working man, I'VE are for the working man
and against the employers.
Such platform sounds good to the
unthinking workman, but is foolish in
the extreme. The republican platform
on the contrary says, justice for the en-
ployed and for the employers.
The great body of the working men Of
this country are intelligent. They read
and think. They will weigh these two
propositions and decide which is most
fair and which is really for the best in
tareSts IF tho 1ohoror

employers of this country are now hold

outcome Of the election.
It may be and doubtless Is true that
the conditions Of the working class in
their relations to the employing class are
not ideal. But they are far better than
no relations at all, far better than no
employment, and though it may be true
that they are not ideal it is equally true
that Mr. Bryan Is not the man 10, make

Grant s. Hagar of the st. Thomas
Times has purchased the Grafton Record

the present at least he will run both the
Times and the Record. Mr.. Pierce's
intentions are not yet settled. Every
body in North Dakota will be sorry to
hear that we are likely to lose "Poison
Carrots" and the "Hlred Man" from
the ranks Of state journalism.

A Warning to Catholics.

as possible, in Catholic Schools.
1t must be remembered, however, that
not every school, under the management
of persons wearing the garb of Catholic
religious is Catholic school. Luther
wore a monks garb and posed as. a bet
ter Catholic than the Pope.
The following are among the tests of
a Catholic school:
Is it approved by the Pastor and Bsh-
op? Have the children an opportunity to
assist at Holy Mass every morning? Do
they receive Holy Communion in their
school at least every month? Are they
instructed in their religion several times
week by their Pastor? Are the teach.

lives of true religious, and giving edit.
cation?
In selecting Catholic school for their
children, Catholic parents will kindly
bear in mind the above tests. In the
Diocese OF Fargo the following schools
and they only-are Catholic, and recon-
mended to Catholic parents as Catholic
schools
Bismarck-St. Mary's School.
Devils Lake-Sisters of Mercy.
(Open in Dec, 1908.
Dickenson-St. Joseph's.
Fargo-Sacred Heart Academy.
Fargo-St. Aloysius School for |
small boys.
Glen UlliE-Sacred Heart School.
Jamestown-St. Johns Academy
Oakes-Baldwin st. Charles
Memorial School.
Oakwood-St. Aloysius Academy.
RichardtoI-St. Mary's.
Wahpeton-St. Johns School:
Wild Rice--St. Joseph's.
Willow City-Notre Dame Convent
of the Sacred Heart.
Parents desiring to send their children
to Catholic School should consult
their Pastor or the Bishop of the Dio-
cese. This note of notification is made
necessary by certain unfortunate cir
cumstances which seem to menace the
future of. Catholic education in this
Diocese. In word, Che question con-
fronting us is this-Shall the Catholic
Church, as represented by her author
lied Ministers,or by few misguided re-
bells, instruct the Catholic children of
today in the Diocese of Fargo3
OF private, individual schools, have
nothing to say, SO long as they do not
claim to act under the name and pro-
lection of the Catholic Church. But
the moment such schools invoke the
name of Catholic to bring them patron
age, they fall under my jurisdiction, and
it becomes my bounden duty as Chief
Pastor Of souls within this Diocese to
investigate the conditions of those
schools, and to tell the faithful under
my charge to keep their children away
from the reach of such schools as are
not in full accord with Catholic disci-
pline, and more especially from those
whose teachings and influence are anti
Catholic. By Anti-Catholic is here
meant among other things opposition to
established Church authority.
Fortunately at the present time only
one school exists in this State that calls
for my condemnation. The Rev. Clergy
will know my meaning, and act upon it
