The Roosevelt administration very
closely Identified itself with the Car
boniferouS Aga period rich in its
vast Accommodations OF natural supplies
later to play their important world
part when man should appear upon
the earth.-coal, phosphates. and prob
ably petroleum and natural gas. and
it Is with reference to regulating nu-
man use of these sources Of energy
and wealth that the Roosevelt regime
has won the plaudits of some people
and incurred the enmity OF others.
There is small doubt that the former
are largely in the majority, and view
with satisfaction the action Of the
Executive, several years ago, in his
bold withdrawal of some $4,000, 600
acres OF public coal land in the great
Western coal field, then being largely
acquired in a fraudulent manner as
agricultural land, and for mere song.
in his instructions to the Government
biologists to classify and value these
bands, under the law as first SO inter.
preted by him,-in some instances tho
valuation has been placed as nigh as
$50 per acre-in his withdrawal Of
other lands containing petroleum and
natural gas which were being like
wise fraudulently aquirced and held,
unproductive, for mere speculative
purposes; and lastly, on December 2,
1908, in the withdrawal OF some s..
100000 acres of public phosphate
lands.
The startling feature in connection
with this latest action lies in the pro.
posal to restrict the development Of
these deposits to that which can be
shown to be for the agricultural bene.
fit Of the United States; in otne.
words, there must be no expectation
OF phosphates from these deposits on
Government land. Possibly not since
the saving OF the western coal telis
from monopollstic design has there
been an executive action pregnant
with such import to the nation. Phos-
pilates, phosphorus, what of it? Use.
full for matchmaking! Should matches
become too dear or impossible of pro.
dutcion mankind could still keep warm
and cook his food by simply reverling
to the flint and steel and the finder
box, and be only Inconvenience. But
phosphorus has more vital function,
the production of growing crops, and
for this large quantities are required.
1t is one of the three principal and ab.
solutely essential foods for plant
growth and therefore as necessary to
theh uman race as the oxygen of the
air. And it is the one such constl.u.

The state Of North Dakota is just
now being widely advertised by every
newspaper in the United States. The
leading publications of other nations
are also giving prominence to this
section. The honor is due to the Of
fetal tests OF the battleship North
Dakota. The monster advocate for
peace is one of the largest ever float
ed. Its speed tests indicate it has no
equal in this or any other navy. 1t
is a distinct honor to have the states
name so prominently to the front.
1t was one of the last acts Of Hon.
H. c. Hansbrough, as u. s. senator
from this state, to secure the name
for this great battleship and demon
strates what little hustling can &C
complish.
More people of the world have
heard of the state through the bat
tleship than through any other means.

the girl fell in love with George A.
Maddox, the private secretary Of /.
Dupont, and married him. Alfred /.
Dupont was a frequent caller at the
Maddox home and favored the mar

Alfred /. Dupont was married and had
several children. In later years rumors
began to be circulated that all was
not well in the Dupont family. Later
the husband went to Dakota and a
divorce was granted. This divorce was
followed by the disappearance OF Mrs!
Maddox. Then came the divorce in
the Maddox family and the marriage
of Mrs. George A. Maddox and Mr..
