In the press dispatches of the daily
papers n day last week we read of the
occurrence in Washington D. g., of a
memorial service to a Catholic priest,
the late Father D, j. Stafford, in which
the principal speakers were Rev. DR.
Van Schaik of the German Reformed
C~hurch-the Presidents pastor-the
Rev. Abram Simon, rabbi of the Jewish
synagogue, Corporal" Tanner, a non
Catholic and Senator Beveridge, also a
non-Catholic, besides a Catholic priest,
the assistant of the deceased clergymen
Truly the era of Christian charity and
true brotherly love is at hand when
leading men of all denominations thus
gather to do honor to the memoir of a
Catholic priest.

WHEN the Walsh county republican
central committee met last week at Park
River, it is said that State Sup't Stock
we'll, who is possessed of a greater de-
sire to manipulate politics to his own
personal benefit than is usually to be
found in a public official, Sheaded-in" at
the committee meeting on a proxy he
had secured from a member of the COM
mittee, who some time since ceased to be
a resident of Walsh county. This in
stance together with the factory endorse
ment he got not long ago from the state
educational association at it's meeting at
Grand Forks, plainly go to show that
Stock is at last getting next to the
fact that he is not the "idolized' public
servant that for years his vanity and big
bump of self esteem persuaded him to
believe. Even in the republican camp
there are indications of the band wagon
being somewhat crowded when Mr.,
Stockwell tries to steal a seat.

Township clerks will again this year
find the DEMOCRAT office fully equipped

that will be required at the annual town

AS will be noted by referring to the
call published elsewhere in this issue
we nave nj got entirely away from the
Ole caucus and convention system of
selecting candidates for public offices in
this state. The delegates to the national
convention and presidential electors
will be selected this year in the old way.
State conventions for the purpose of
selecting these will be held as heretofore
the democratic convention being held at
Grand Forks on Wednesday March 25.
The manner of selecting delegates to
this state convention will be the same as
under the old law, in fact it is the old
law that we are still working under.
Caucusses have been called for each
precinct in the county to be held on
Tuesday, March 18th, at two o'clock in
the afternoon, when delegates to a
county convention to be held in Lang
don on Thursday March 18th will be
elected and this county convention will
select delegates to the state convention.
The first political move of the year will
therefore come along in March when
these will be held. The demo-
cratic convention will doubtless send a
delegation to the national convention
favorable to Bryan for president. The
state convention will also select the
national committeeman, or the delegates
to the national convention which they
select. will choose the committeeman.

THE ROLL OF VETERANS.

In his annual report just published
covering the year ending June 30 last.
Secretary of the Interior Garfield states
that during the twelve months the loss
to the pension list was 1904, of which
45,76S were caused by death. The net
reduction of the roll for the year was
$4,000 leaving the total at the date nam
ed 967,37l. Less than 5000 pensioners
represent the wars previous to 1916, and
only 1869 remain of the Mexican war
veterans. The pensioned soldiers of the
civil wal number 52S, O99, and the total
henceforth must rapidly grow less
There are 256, 1853 pensioned widows.
Soldiers of the Spanish war draw 1901
pensions, and the pensioned widows at
trlbutable to that conflict are l,100.
Since the foundation of the government
nearly $4,000, 100000 has been devoted
to pensions, of which nine-teuths is due
to the civil war, but this expenditure is
not out of proportion to the number
engaged and the seriousness of the ac-
cidents Many thousands civil war
veterans were slain or died of disease
who left no ~pensionable relatives. A
subscription is on foot in England, head
ed by King Edwards. to provide a fund
for the support of British veteran
soldiers for whom there is no better
place now than the warehouses;. 1t is
n of the glories of the United States
that no American soldier Is reduced to
such an extremity. A pension gives
him a living chance and there are
soldiers homes, national and state.
whose doors are always open to him
Undoubtedly a nation has the authority
to call its citizens to the battle field.
But there is no occasion to say "Lest we

REPUBLICAN COINAGE SCHEME.

Our republican friends made a great
howl about the coinage of silver and it's
general issuance as money wheh a dis
tlngulshed gentleman from Nebraska
advocated such a measure. That party
now says there is not enough money to
GO around and keep the wheels of in
duetry in motion in this country, the
same claim made by the Nebraskan in
1896 The remedy proposed by the re-
i'ublicans finds form in the Aldrich bill
which would allow the banks to issue
money on national, state or railway
bonds and the measure is said to find
favor with the president. 1t sounds
we'll but it does not require a consider
able thought to see that the basis of
such money would be railway bonds.
They are the easiest to be had and can
be purchased the cheapest. There is no
trouble about their issuance either.
The printing press can be started and
any amount of bonds issued without re.
gard to the real value of the property
behind them. Then comes a panic,
scarcity of money, and the emergency
for which this extra or elastic money is
required. Prices of everything decline,
railway securities with the rest. It is
at just such times that the railways go
into the hands of a receiver. That
means the bonds become of little value
In the trade market. About what would
such money be worth? If the govern.
ment guaranteed the money it would be
all right and good as gold," but the
government weuld have to shoulder the
loss, otherwise the money would not
have value and would be much worse
than the $50 CEN silver dollar" OF which
the opposition made 30 much sport.
