1t is generally believed at Madrid
that the complications which have
arisen between Spain and Mulai Ha-

to result in a fSpanish-Moroccan war,
that is, a r'between Spain and the
forces of the sultan of Morocco in dis
tinction to the present fighting, which
is limited to the Moorish tribesmen
inhabiting the Riff country.
The Spanish forces in Morocco, ac-
cording to the latest dispatches re.
ceived at Madrid, were eminently sue
cessful in turning Mount Guruga and
surrounding the ferocious Beni-Sicar
tribesmen. The government is pub
fishing broadcast accounts of many

The Poor Boy Career.

When the life struggles of raen like
Hartman and the late Governor
johnson are recounted there are some
to sigh because times have changed"
and Il poor boy couldn't emulate such
careers now But old times had
changed before the Hartman boy and
the Johnson boy got into the struggle.
Times had changed between the poor
boy Lincoln and Harriman's day, and
they had changed between the day Of
Dick Wilmington, lord mayor Of
London" and of Lincoln. There's
nothing new in this that times
change and nothing extraordinary
about boys getting to be something
from nothing.
When Lincoln and his needy contem-
porary, Horace Greeley, were walking
mp and down the land ito ask a broth
er Of the earth to give them leave to
toil' it was the wall Of the hour that
money and privilege ruled every
where. About that time Tennyson
sang Every door is barred with gold
and opens but to golden keys" He
spoke. for England, but it was echoed
ID this country as fitting q situation
where a few southern nabobs' and a
handful Of New England aristocrats
slammed the door Of advancement in
the poor boys face. Even II 1t be
harder today for the poor boy to get
up, the prize is all the richer, and ma
tive pluck and hard work are reward
"a Just as they were a generation ago.
LET the poor boy pitch in anywhere.
He'll find something doing "along the
whole line"

MeGahan Takes Up Pen.

Minot. N. D., Sept. 25.-The
last issue Of The Democrat OF this
CITY contains an editorial notice to
the effect that l.. D. McGahan
formerly register of the local land
Office, has assumed the position OF
editor of that newspaper.
Mr.. McGahan in a leading edi-
torial has the following to say:
SIN defining the word Henry
Ward Beecher once said: "The
meaning Of the word democrat is
not that every man should be on
the level with every one, but that
every one shall have liberty, with
out hiuderance, to be what God
made him." Such will be the
policy Of The Democrat with the
motto of "Men Before Party--Ab-
solately independent The writ
er believes that the fearless, indie
pendent newspaper is IN the held
to stay and that within a short
time there will be few newspapers
recognised as strict party organs.
"In assuming the responsibility
of editing such a paper we follow
our own inclinations and sympa-
thies and have no apologies to Of
fer and no excuses to make either
to individuals or the public. Our
political debts are paid-even to
the pound Of flesh, and the slate
has been wiped clean. We are
confident that The Democrat will
receive it's share of public patron
age, and take this occasion to
thank friends in advance for their
kind works and good will"
In commenting upon the fore
going we would call particular at
tention to the following sentence
therein; sour politicrl debts have
oeen paid-even to the pound OF
flesh. and the slate has been wip-
ed clean"
We are glad to know that still
another has thrown off the shack
les of political thralldom and come
out into the light of freedom and
independence. 1t is the same with
individuals as with nations. Lib
erty to expand and develop makes
for strength and greatness in every
instance. Slavery degrades aud
debases. Very many editors in
North Dakota are beginning to
realize this and to act accordingly,
and we believe with MIR. McGahan
that in the very near future the
foreign corporations and other in
terests opposed to the welfare of
the common people will not be
able to control the press of the
state by giving skim milk in this
world with a promise of cream
hereafter"
Every law.abiding citizen in
every community is entitled to
justice and a square deal, and if he
fails to get it the reason is often
because of some political prefer
ment unknown to him. Freedom
from such bondage will be a bless
ing to every man in the state.
Mr.. McGahan is capable and
possesses the elements of a true
journalist, and in view Of his edi.
torial above quoted we feel certain
that he will expand and develope
even beyond his own expo Citations
and at the same time be q wise and
true counsellor to those whom his
writing shall reach. The Leader
bespeaks for him a success that
ancceeds.

Columbus Day.

ma. - ~ Ir 1LH|H
In several Of the states, notably
New York. New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Connecticut, Colorado, Illinois, Mis-.
souri,, Montana, California and Micht.
gan, Oct. II. has been. made a legal
holiday in honor Of Columbus. 1t
was on Oct II that he discovered
America, and it is proposed BY the
Knights Of Columbus, various Italian
societies and others to establish this
date as a national holiday. It. is ar
gued that it would be especially ap.
propriate to celebrate. It In the public
schools.
Perhaps the most considerable force
behind the project is that Of the Itai-
ian societies. The, fact that Columbus
was himself Of Italian birth furnishes
the motive. He Is the historical link
that binds the Italian to America.
Paying formal respect to the discov-
erer Of these, shores 10 a movement in
which all Americans are or should be
interested. Any one who properly APP
preciates the Importance Of having
been discovered should; welcome Co.
lumbns>day. The. knockers who claim
that the Morse found America before
Columbus should reflect that this Is a
mere academic point at best and has
no practical bearing, since the factor
their discovery. II. indeed. 1t wal made.
had been forgotten long before the
time Of Columbus.

Title Talks.

In former days there
was no safe method Of
being sure about tt

If.you got anxious about
title you went to the

The clerk would make
the search as best he
could. He would take
such records as he might
choose and look page by
page for the old deeds to
your land. He could never
know when his task was
done.
In the end you got a
very weak assurance.
Now it is different.

On Feb. 7th, 1906, Mrs. Moore gave the
following statement regarding her case /:

Kidney Pills. In 1903 l underwent an
operation and after that was in misery
nearly all the time. / did not regain my
strength and my kidneys became badly
disordered. The pains in my back were
almost Undesirable and all the medicine

NY Pills, procured from Moore's drug
