BY DEATH OF m. N. JOHNSON
Political Situation in North Dakota
Badly Mixed.

Fargo, N. D., Oct. 22.-United States
Senator M N. Johnson of North Da-
kota died at a hotel in this city af
acute Brights disease.
He had been here a short time for
medical treatment and the disease
developed rapidly following slight
nasal operation. He was to have left
here in day or two to join the Taft
party in. the South and with it finish
the trip to Washington from New Or
leans.
Johnson's death leaves the political
situation in North Dakota badly
mixed up. AS McCumber comes up
for reelection before the next pri-
maries and the legislature this viii
necessitate the election of two sem
ators.
Congressman Gronna, from the
same county as Johnson, will now en-
ter the senatorial race for the short
term. Ex-Congressman Marshall is
already in the race against McCumber
for the long term. Former Senator
Hansbrough, now in Washington, will
also undoubtedly return to. the state
and engage in the senatorial contest.
AS Governor Burke is Democrat
he will in the meantime select some
man of his party to fill the vacancy
until the next legislative session and
North Dakota, for the first time since
Roach's term, will have a Democrat
in the senate.

vator was moved three feet from its
foundation into a private alley.

DEN MARK.

With an old age relief Denmark had
a significant experience in proof of the
ancient maxium, the more you do
the more may do' In 1893, about 49,
900 aged persons were enjoying assis-
tance from the community; in 1905,
there was nearly 1000 There has been
no increase in poverty, or in .popula-
tion, to explain this growth and it
seems that the larger number must be
accounted for by the fact that now, as
age comes on, the individual begins
to arrange his affairs so that he can
get government help. Furthermore,
the average amount paid out per per-
son has, since 1894, gone up from $18,-
80 to something more than $4,000. But
Denmark is land of prosperity; the
expenditure, if divided up among all
the people would be only about thirty
cents for each, and even though the
Danish old-age provision is expensive,
no one cares. One advantage of the
Danish law over the German plan is
that it protects employees of industry.
Except for the demand that the appli-
cant be deserving, no class is selected
for protection.
The 250th anniversary of the Bat
tie of Nyborg will be celebrated, Nov
enfber IA this year. The city coun-
sci is in charge of the preparations
and the occasion will be notable one.
A monument with a suitable inscrip-
tion will be unveiled outside the city
gate where the battle ragged. 1t is a
victory of which the Danes are exceed
ingly proud and the celebration will
therefore be an enthusiastic and elab-
crate one.
On the initiative of Captain Otto
Sverdrup, there has been recently or
ganized in Copenhagen Danish COM
pany. which will take up the whaling
industry in Greenland. It is the pur-
pose of the company to conduct its
pursuit of the whales on the open sea
instead Of on the coast as hitherto was
the. case. There is an unusual amount
of whales and the prospects of the COM
pany to do a big business is the very
best.
