MARKET DAY FOR lANGDON.

Several cities of the state among
others being Minot and Valley City now
have what is called Market Day, a day
each month on which people from the
outlaying districts come to town to at
tend the sale, at which everything from
a horse to secondhand furniture
changes hands under the direction of an
a%uctioneer. Horses, cattle, machinery.
house hold goods. and second hand
articles of every kind are sold. Any one
may offer anything or buy anything.
The sale is managed and advertised by a
commercial organization of the business
men of the city. Not only Is there di-
rect benefit from the sale itself, but the
advertising which the city receives and
the additional trading caused by the
gatherings are the features. which ap-
peal to up to date business men and in
fact. to every one who is interested in
the growth and prosperity of his home
town. Why can 10 steps be taken to
have a Market Day in Langdon. Ener-
getically pushed and advertised this
day would bring to the city numbers of
people from all parts of the county and
the adjoining territory. The business
men of Langdon are the right parties to
take the matter up and will be in a posi-
ton to make the day a success and a
benefit to the city.

The resignation of President Merritield
of the state university at Grand Forks
is a matter that naturally touches quite
closely with a number of homes here in
Cavalier county as we'll as over the whole
state. This is twice within the past
twelve months that President Mortified
has found it necessary, owing to health
and family affairs, to ask the university
board of regents to accept his resigna-
ton. The growth and progress made by
the state university during the fifteen
years it has had President Mortified at
its head t~estities what his resignation
means to North Dakota. Among those
whose names have been mentioned as
possible successors to President Merri-
field is Judge N. G. Young of Fargo, I'M
til recently a state supreme court Judge.

AN ERA OF EXTRAvAGANCE.

The Roosevelt administration now
places to its account the third deficit in
seven years. With deficits of $4,000,
600 in 1904, 1923, 100000 in 1905 and now
s6O,OOO,WO in 190S-conslderlnk the
flush times it has enjoyed up to nine
months ago-it makes a shockingly bad
showing. This deficit of S60,000,O00 for
the fiscal year Just ended represents the
penalty paid for wilful extravaganza. 1t
is only 100000 less than the total
shrinkage in government receipts dur
ing a year of financial panic and general
depression in trade. Primarily it is due
to an increase of sS0,000,0 900 in expendi-
lures in one year, without which there
would have been only a negligible de-
ticit. With appropriations amounting
to the immense aggregate of 81 ,0Os, SO4,
1874 for the year now beginning, Mr..
Roosevelt promises to slgnalize the end
of his second term in the Presidency by
still deeper inroads upon the surplus
accumulated in days of prosperity.
The twelve months just closed have
witnessed the heaviest expenditures in
the history of the country since 1865,
not excepting the period of the war with
Spain. Under Mr.. Roosevelt the ex-
penditures for three years l9O6-19eS, to-
gether with the appropriations for 1909,
when the country has been at peace,
have reached the grand total of s3,42S
s09,371 or SS3333,97S,44O more than during
the four years of the civil war. One OF
the most formidable tasks of Mr.. Roose.
velt's successor will be to keep the
country on a working basis within its
income. No project to spend money
was ever vetoed by Mr.. Roosevelt. Many
projects to spend more money which he
advocated failed of approval by congress
Public extravaganza is a disease which
he has done nothing to check, but much
to make compulsory upon later admins
trations.

In the adjoining county of Nelson and
other parts of the state recounts and
contests are being started by defeated
candidates at the late primary election,
There is about as much sense in this as
there would be in contesting a nomina-
ton at one of the county conventions in
the days of long ago. In any case the
contestant can at the best be classed as
a party sorehead or disappointed office
seeker with q chrome case Of itch.
