MARRIAGE TO EXCESS.

Marriage may become a habit
just as surely,i not, indeed, as easily
as drink or tobacco or grouchiness.
Mark Twain, therefore, was we'll
within the proprieties when he
warned the young ladies Of st. Tim
othy's school, at their commence
ment exercises, to avoid marriage to
excess. Habit = everyone knows
what habit will do to a person,
''Habits soon monopolize the man, -
says Professor Santayana. When a
woman once gets tire habit of mar
rying the monopoly is something
awful. 1t hits her 40 ways.-Nev

flies and the children are so plenti-
full and a great saving of work. Ev-

brassware carefully with shining i'm

shining as it was in the springtime,
when the tinfoil was put on.-New

Mr.. Billiard has had many years

Sank Guaranty WORKING Out.

Sank Guaranty Working Out.
The initial experiences of the
deposit guaranty project afe full
of trouble, but this project will
before long enter quiet water.
1t is one of the most hopeful
progressive measures that has
been promulgated in years. The
law that has been framed around
it will not only protect depositors
IN failed banks, but will greatly
diminish the n k failures.
Banking will become so secure
that thousands of m and
women of means who have here
tofore never instructed their
money to banks will be among
the best customers of banks!
Bankers who have opposed the
project with every means at
their command will be its warm
est defenders, and will in the end
be fully persuaded that they in
vented the idea themselves.
There are today in Kansas up
wards of hundred bankers who
for the most part were year
ago or even six months ago quite
hostile to the idea of guarantee
ing their depositors but are now
"6ghting friends of the idea.
And with good reason. They
display their guaranty certificate
in their windows, and it has, to
their surprise, brought them
thousands and thousands of dol
lars in deposits from persons
who were never depositors be-
fore and many of whom they did
not suppose to be possessed of
money. These bankers tell in
teresting stories of men and of
women coming to open accounts,
some of them for sums of $500
or even $1,000, who heretofore
have kept their money by them.
One Topeka banker said the other
day: Il was opposed to guaranty,
like most bankers, and it is prov
ing a benefit to us and it is all
right"
It was not designed primarily
however, to benefit banks, but to
protect depositors, and this it
will do. But the depositguaranty
issue in the Legislature raised
such storm of objections among
bankers, and they made such
statements about recklessneSS
on the part of some bankers,
that as a result of this policy of
guaranteeing deposits mum Der
of new regulations were placed
around banking in Kansas, and
under these regulations 1t will
be next to impossible that bad
bank failure should occur in this
state. AS this b &c ONES a
familiar fact to the general pub
lie, more depositors will appear
and the effect will be large in
crease in the banking funds of
Kansas. 1t would not be sur
prising if inside of e G h e n
months the increase will amount
to 40 million dollars of deposits.

Meade County Alfalfa Seed
Stands at the Head in Price
Quotations.

Meade county has always felt
great satisfaction in her alfalfa
crop and not without reason. 1t
it is one of the sure money maxi
ing crops, which brings uick
cash returns. It is one of the
chief export crops, standing next
to hor and cattle, in the
amount of money which it brings
into the county. The seed crop
Of this county stands IN a class
by it's self, being Quoted from
S1OO to SIPS per bushel higher
than any other alfalfa seed.
1t is not only a money getter,
bringing the good hard dollars
from distant markets but it IS
also greater distributor of the
cash which it gat h er from
abroad. The farmer employs a
heavy force to care for it, and
pays the top price to his hands,
The two Fowler mills. through
owners and employees, scatter a
good per cent of the receipts
from their out put among the
merchants, and mechanics of the
county.
The acreage occupied by this
crop is constantly increasing,
and the time will come when by
cultivation it will be a close
second to wheat as a cash crop
out on the flats.

S. S. Smith proved up a quar-
ter of land Saturday. Mr.. Smith
has a good crop on this land as
well as other grains, and garden
vegetables. Farming with only
one horse and working out for
money to keep his family on he
yet has a crop which he may
well be proud of.
w. H. Sourbeer was in Meade
Saturday, the immediate bust
ness of the trip being to record
the bringing in of new flowing
well on their farm in the valley.
It is a good one, throwing 4 gal
Ions per minute. Mrs. Sourbeer
accompanied him.
Miss Mildred Johnson returned
from a visit to relatives in C1eve-
land, Ohio, on Monday. The
happy greetings Miss Mildred
was receiving, and her hearty
response, lead us to believe she
was glad to again be in Meade,
and at home with papa and
mamma.
The city was full of people on
business intent last Saturday.
It was a jam everywhere, on the
streets, or in the stores, and
much farm machinery of use in
the wheat sowing which is pro-
crossing rapidly now was taken
out of town.
George Gelledett made trip
to Plains Sunday. This trip was
visit to the home folks, and
possibly to some young lady
friend.

LIKES CAVIAR

Editor Jordan of the Fargo Call is one
of those high-toned people who has cui-
tivated taste for 'caviar" and the dish
prepared by the "cook'' of the Pioneer
Express last week tasted SO good to him
that he swallowed and assimilated the
whole lot verbatim ct literatim-and
never said thank you.
In newspaper ethics, news item after
being once published is common proper
ty. To steal an editorial is but petty lar
ceny with an implied compliment to the
author as some recompense, but "borrow-
ed thanks" and compliments would seem
hardly polite or complimentary to the
recipient and certainly not to the origin
al author. 1t is grand larceny pure and
simple.

THE SPEAkERSHIP-

Hon. G. A. McCrea of Drayton was
the leading candidate for speaker until
the insurgents found on counting noses
that they we're about eightor nine in the
majority and then they proceeded to
hold first an ''insurgent caucus where
they nominated U. L. Burdick of Cava-
iler county and made up slate of the
other oftices-and then went to the Re-
publican caucus and nominated them
again-and of course MI. b. was elected
as speaker. The Grand Forks Herald
remarks A'thxt Mr.. Burdick had a major.
lty OF votes and was elected and that is
all there is Of it," In our opinion theme
is very much more OF it. 1t means that
the 'insurgents'' propose to keep up the
factional fight that has SO nearly de.
stroyed the Republican party in this
state until the Democrats get complete
control. The senate was organized by
the stalwarts. Nj. LaMoure has his old
position as the chairman of the most
important committee, that of appropri-
ations. In the. list of clerks rs vet
appointed we note but one man from
this county, Mr.. J. M. Wylie of Drayton
who is clerk of the senate committee on

SOME MUST BE WATCHED.

The president seems to have cotton
Messrs. Tawney and some other repre
sentatlvcs in somewhat of a box. Some
time ago the House under the lead of
these gentlemen, refused 40 allow the
appropriation for the secret service OK
cept as restricted to the purposes of the
treasury department. and some other
similar matters
President Roosevelt in a late mnss;ue
rather sarcastically referred to this. say
ing IN substance, thar this was done to
protect members of congress from brn.s
investigated by the secret service officers.
Congress got on its high horse and said
that the president had iESulted the, law
makers and called on hlm for proof
that the congressman needed to be
watched. Last week the president sent
IN a special message and gave them the
proof. lie cited the fact that several of
the congressman had been indicted and
some went to Jail for land frauds dis
covered by the secret service officers. He
also showed that the matter had been
the subject of debate and that the same
charges made by him were first made on
the floor of the House by the repre-
'sentatives themselves.
Nobody believes that Mr.. Tawney of
Minnesota and some of the others who
were instrumental IN stopping the sur
'velllance of congressman by the secret
service officials, need any watching.
Everybody knows that but few of the
congressman need watching. But the
records of the courts prove that some of
them do need watching.
Mr.. Tawney doubtless feels it an in
dignity to be subject to the surveillance
of the secret service people. Almost
any man would. But on the other hand
as the president remarks NO honest man
need fear the secret service officers.
Mr. Tawney and the others in:attempt-
ing to assert their own dignity forget
that it is always the custom.of ,rogues to
do the same. If anything the rogue is
the most strenuous in his assumption of
honest motives and deeds. Mr.. Tawney
says"We (the representatives, are honest
and need no Watching" The rogues
&some OF whom are representatives also)
say the same with even more emphasis,
thus hiding under the honest cloak of
Mr. Tawney.
President Roosevelt might have put
the facts in mllder form with equal
truth and saved much acrimony and Mr..
Tawney and his associates should have
steered clear of the position of virtually
protecting dishonest men, just to save
their own dignity.

with burglary in the third degree by
breaking into a granary belonging to
David Ellenbaum, near Cavalier, with
intent to steal grain, occupied all of
Wednesday and part of Thursday. The
chief witness for the state was Mr.. Nc
