WHY EXCITE FURY7

Why Alexander Hamilton, dead these
one hundred years, should excite the
fury of one Of the new senator's from
the northwest, and republican senator
to boot, does not appear on the sur
face, says The Springfield Republican.
On mis- merits as a constructive states
man, no American ever lived who de-
served statue in Washington more
than Hamilton, but Senator johnson of
North Dakota demands that the resolu-
ton of congress providing for such a
memorial be forthwith repealed, and he
is quoted as saying that he wants "that
man. forgotten as soon as possible"
That such sentiments are generally held
cannot be believed, and it must be that
the North Dakota statesman is himself
a novel kind of freak having an anti
Hamilton obsession not less irrational
than Mr.. Dicks notions concerning King
Charles head.

WORK OF the GIDEONS.

The Minot Optic speaks in high
praise of the work of the Gideons One
of the most interesting organizations
in the country is the Gideons, an as
ISOLATION of Christian travelling men
which started in Wisconsin ten or
more years ago. One of the interesting
efforts of the association of this state
is to place Bible in each room of each
hotel in North Dakota. This has been
done in Texas and other states and it
is expected that funds will be collected
to do the same in this state.
The Gideons are earnest men who
realize the need of militant Christian
ity to combat the temptations they find
on the road. They want to help others
as they have been helped and rightly
deem that it can be done in quiet,
yet effective way, by putting Bibles
where other men may find them, when
they have leisure, and where there is
nothing else to read. The thoughts in
spired by the very sight of Bible in
a lonely hotel room will often be
enough to save a man from lowering
his ideals.

NEED the MORAL UPBuILDlNG.

NO truer words were ever spoken by
man than these which fell from the lips
OF Kansas City minister, Rev. Wallace
M. Short of the Congregational denomina-
non. They hit, square and with a
force that should penetrate the hearts
and minds of right thinking men and
women:
The average American, being too
busy in his pursuit of money and pleas
ure to take the. trouble to discipline
himself or train the rising generation in
the true principles of life, has fallen
back upon the easy-looking method of
the enactment of many laws and the
reliance upon multitudes of policemen.
The world has never been helped any
by that method 1t is the sign of a
decadent moral and spiritual force"
Here we are fairly surfeited with
laws and legislative enactments, all due
to the easy shifting of responsibility
from the shoulders of the parents to
those of the authorities. So

uplifting home influence which guided
the youths of the past, is lost in the

CELEBRATED SILVER WEDDING
Eagle Lake Couple and Friends Spend a
Very ENJOYABLE Evening

A most delightful evening was spent
at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. James
Miller at Eagle Lake, it being the
twenty-fifth anniversary of their we'd
ding. Mr. and Mrs. Miller were mar
ried at Lake Benton, Mimi, May 10,
1884. They moved to Eagle Lake in
April, 1890. The genial cheerful spirit
of this couple has gathered around them
host of friends, and sixty of them
came together on Monday evening to
wish them Godspeed toward the next
quarter of century of married life,
each one leaving slight token of es-
TEEN. There were also several very
handsome presents from friends at Lake
Benton. Samuel, the oldest son, re-
siding at Philadelphia, Pa, not being
able to be present, sent them silver
dollar for each year of their married
life. Each of the children were rep
resented by very handsome present.
These combined with those of the
friends, made a collection that was both
attractive and useful, and will ever be
happy reminder of this joyous occa-
sion. A sumptuous repast was served
after which the ceremony, congratula-
lions extended, and the friends babe
the happy couple good night, and best
wishes for the future.

WATER FROM JORDAN EMPTIED
No One Would Buy the Liquid So 1t
Went Into Sewer,

New York, May l2.-Three thousand
gallons of water from the River Jor-
dan were emptied yesterday into the
gutter along North Moore street, out
of ten enormous casks covered with
Turkish seals, while crowd of small
boys watched it flow in a turbid
stream into the Greenwich street sewer.
Nobody seemed to banker much for the
water which looked "a little muddy and
had a slight odor.
There were no ceremonies while part
of the sacred river was flowing through
the gutter and down into the sewer, but
later in the day the colonel-Colonel
Cliff Nadaud of Kentucky, sir-dropped
into the Mayo & Campbell warehouse
at 3S7 Greenwich street, and asked
when the rest of the Jordan water
would be thrown out.
William H. Taylor, the secretary of
the company, said that he didn't know
but that the forty six casks that were
left were taking up lot of room and
that they'd have to be getting them
out every day or two until it was all
gone. And as for those bottles made
in the shape of a cross that the colonel
had had manufactured to be emptied
into the baptismal fonts of this coun-
try and Europe, he really didn't know
what to do with them, and they were
taking up a dot of Groom too. Nobody
would buy the water. XIV eaL

STRONGER DEMAND FOR REVISION.

The people have requested President
Taft to use his influence to secure a
reduction of the tariff on sugar. A pc
tition signed by more than two hundred
thousand consumers of sugar has been
presented to him with the request that
he move on congress with a view to
getting that body to WELD the knife
on the sugar schedule.
Sugar is one of the greatest revenue
producers of this country How great
producer of revenue it is may be
gained by the statement, says The
Clinton, Iowa, Record, that with free
sugar last year there would have been
saved to the people of the United
States the enormous sum of $l42723,
347.20. Of course, we all recognize the
fact that it is necessary for congress
to provide revenues with which to con-
duct the affairs of the government :;
and of course we all recognize that
perhaps in no other article can the bur-
dens of taxation be so equally distrib-
uted as by the placing of duty on
sugar.
Yet with all this it looks as though
there might be something radically
wrong. Taken from statement pre-
pared under the direction of the house
committee on ways and means the
percentage of duty on numerous articles
is herewith given: Sugar, 1887 per
cent; champagne, 56.l2 per cent; auto
mobiles, 45 per cent; furs, 35 per cent ;
wheat, 1854 per cent; diamonds, 10 per
cent
The claim scarcely will be made that
the duty on sugar is being retained
for the purposes of the protection of
the sugar industries. The sugar indus
tries, as matter of fact, do not need
protection. The sugar trust is one of
the richest and most powerful this coun-
try has ever known. Then why should
the people each year be compelled to
pay tribute to it in a sum annually in
excess of more than one hundred mil
lion dollars?
In this present discussion of the tariff
question party ties are being severed
and people are taking stand for what
they believe will be their own inter
ests. The demand for a revision of the
schedules is greater than it ever was,
and the question of political affiliation
is apparently not considered, although
republicans are anxious that the princi-
