TEN YEARS PROSPERITY.

The marvellous development
of the great northwest during
the past ten years is best indi-
Gated by the wonderful growth
of it's bank deposits during this
period. There can be no better
indicator of the prosperity of a
community than it's bank de-
posits.
North Dakota, ten years ago,
had bank deposits of SO, 100. 900.
Today North Dakota has $63, =
115, ZOO.
South Dakota, ten years ago.
had bank deposits of SO, 713, 600.
Today South Dadota has $780,
100000.
Minnesota, ten years ago had
bank deposits of $50, $40, 600.
Today Minnesota has $276, 984, :
600.
The total ten years ago was
$78, 1890 The total today is
$31O, 2O5,OO The ten-year in
crease is $232, O22, 600.
In North Dakota the past
year bank deposits increased
from $41. S84, 900 to $63, is, ,OCO

That there is much evil in connection
with the theater, much that is low, coarse,
base and disgusting, no good man will
question; but the purpose of every good
citizen should be not to try to abolish the
theater, which is impossible, inasmuch as it
is an integral factor in our civilization.
Every good citizen should exercise a dis
eliminating, conscientious Judgment in
patronizing the drama. Everything that
deals with human passions, like music and
oratory and poetry and art, may be and

should be condemned and denounced.

1t is the destiny of this country to be
the greatest of wealth producers, and to
become world power among the nations
Of the earth. It is we'll and proper that
we should produce wealth. It is natures
reward for conquering her. The Indian,
before white men came to these shores,
showed unftness to remain in control of
the continent. He produced nothing; he
left the world less than it had when he
came. No man is worth while unless he
creates something. While we have the great
est opportunity to create wealth, therein
lies our greatest danger.
