The annual catalogue of the State
University has Just been published. 1t
is a we'll printed volume OF abou. two
hundred and fifty pages, and contains a
list Of the faculty. programs Of study in
the various departments, general infor-
nation N regard TO buildings and
equipments requirements for admission
and graduation. and a list of the students
for the current year. One notes that
the regular faculty list this year includes
over fifty names besides the special
lecturers in law and medicine. fifteen IN
number. The total number of students
for the year is 906, of whom 422 are of
college rank, 1876 are in the model school
and 81 in the summer school. In the
College OF Arts alone over two hundred
semester courses are offered, in addition
to which are the numerous courses IN
the technical work of engineering. law
and medicine. A good idea of the
growth of the university can be gained
bya comparison of the present catalogue
with the one issued just a dozen years
ago. That was a diminutive pamphlet
of l0S pages. The college of arts was
the only college then organized. The
students of college grade exclusive of
preparatory department and summer
school numbered but sixty-fve. There
were only eleven in the faculty, and
there were offered in college work the
equivalent Of just seventy two semester
courses, Truly, the last twelve years
has brought great changes. 1t is an
nounced that three new buildings are
to be erected during the coming season.
This indicates that the institution has
still greater things ahead of it. 1t will
be no surprise IL next years catalogue

Thomas L. Hisgen, who was the
presidential candidate of the Hearst
independent party in 1908, has issued a
statement announcing that hereafter be
will act with the democractic party.
Mr.. Hisgen says: The campaign of
1905 demonstrated that the battle for
national reforms must be fought out
within the lines of the two largest of the
national parties. The great danger to
this nation is the rule of the autocracy
OF wealth through far-reaching and
subtle trust interests. Powerful and
wealthy and their wealth and strength
directed by some of the ablest men in
the work, they form a force whose in
tiuence can not be measured and whose
grasp can only be destroyed by continued
and vigorous attack. The repulse which
such interests received during the
Roosevelt administration has been mag
nified by the popular mind into a rout
The interests are as strong as ever, but
for four years they have been held at
bay. One by one their tools are return.
ing to place and power. Those who
look to see Theodore Roosevelt the
candidate of his party in 1912 will be
disappointed. Business interests will
unite with strong predatory interests to
prevent another radical being placed in
the presidential char really means of the
republican organization

SENATOR JOHNSON IN ERROR.

According to the press reports Senator
johnson of North Dakota severely
criticised Bryan as having been largely
responsible for such a clause the one
giving the Standard Oil company a tariff
as against Russian oil remaining in the
Wilson bill"
Senator johnson is in error. Mr..
Bryans attention was never brought to
the use that Is made of that clause until
less than two years ago. He called
attention to it at once and has ever since
then been urging its repeal. 1t is
probable that most Of the republicans
who voted for the Dingley bill voted
without knowing that it was a Joker put
in there for the Standard Oil company,
just as most of the democrats voted fol-
the Wilson bill without knowing it was
in there. for it was there. But now that
II is known to be a duty levied in the
interest of the Standard Oil company.
will Senator johnson and his republican
colleagues insist upon maintaining it as
Speaker Cannon and q large part of the
republicans did:-Ihe Commoner.

A DAY OF RENE NBERA.CE
SATURDAY. MAY 29th. 49,.

Saturday. May 18th. 1919, will long
be a day of remembrance with the
people Of the City Of Langdo2, When
tive residents lost their lives L the
fierce wind storm or tornado that
struck the city about SIX o'clock il the
afternoon. The devastation left in the
storm path through the residence por-
ton of the city is q terrible sight and
one that has attracted thousands Of
people from faraway as we'll as nearlylng
neighborhoods over the northern part Of
the state.
In the disaster which bef=ll Langdon
and her people last Saturday afternoon.
in addition to the loss of life and loved
ones that We have had to lay with
sorroving hearts in their graves. there
confronts those of Us who are left the
problem of the enormous property loss
which it has calls upon many of US to
bear.
Now that the first great shock Is over
and i citizens have begun to recover
from the stupor which accompanied the
great disaster we as citizens ara brought
to face with an unfinching courage the
fact that much of the property loss
sustained by the sufferers is one that an
ordinary Insurance policy Is not adequate
in meeting.
Nearly all those facing the brunt of
the calamity have for years made Lang
don their home. Their business Interests
are identified with ours and the drum
beat at this present hour Of need calls
for ali Who have been more fortunate
than their relghDor to cooperate With
those less fortunate in coping with the
problem that nov confrons7 Us all as a
townspeople.
With the proper spirit Of courage
instjlled we believe that before fail all
the ugly scars left by Saturday after
moons storm viii have been healed and
the appearance of the town enabled to
resume its wonted neat and tidy
appearance.
The hour Of midnight had not been
reached on that day of which we all
have so much cause to remember before
Langdon's public spirited citizens had
organized a relief committee and the
work of lending the helping hand given
an impetus. The city council has started
the list with $1,000: another 1000 comes
from the treasury of the fire department.
The movement is being taken up IN an
equally generous spirit by the different
fraternal orders and Mayor Fox has
received kilograms from a score ofscities
and towns all over the state asking if
aid is needed and offering to help.
Langdon people have up to this period
of resurrection been able toxcope with
the situation and look after the needy.
but now when the question comes of
replacing and restoring all that has been
lost it cannot otherwise than be seen
that it would be nothing less than q
false, foolish pride to turn aside from
the proffered helping hand of generous
aearted neighbors.

FINISHING WELL.

This Is the time when in most places
schools are closing for the summer
vacation. and the commandments of
schools and colleges are a reminder that
thousands of young people are being
graduated to enter upon their life work.
To many young people there comes
the temptation in the last year of school
toilet up a little on their studies because
OF their feeling that as the end Is so near
it does not matter. For more than one
reason this is a mistaken idea. The last
years work should be the fitting crown
of the work Of previous years. Then.
too. the last year in school Is to be con
s!dered in its relation TO the future. In
most cases a young man passes directly
from school to his life work.
As the word ''commencement'' indi-
Gates, his life Is Tot closing when be
leaves school, 1t is really opening be-
fore him with all its possibilities, and if
fullest success is to attend that life be
must De adequately equipped. This
means that the young person must
finish we'll at school in order to CON-
mence we'll and continue we'll in the
business or profession which he enters.
1t Is not slipshod but thorough work
that wins.

That William J.. Bryan is still the idol
OF the democrats of North Dakota was
shown by his reception in the state.
From far and near they gathered to
greet the great commoner. Besides the
democrats many republicans came to
hear him. Il am waiting to see what
the republicans mean by tariff revision
said MIR. Bryan in answer to a query as
to what he thought of the situation at
Washington. When they get through
l will have something to say" In con-
versatlon with the democrats Mr.. Bryan
spoke encouraging Of the outlook for the
party. He declared that the situation
could not be more satisfactory from a
democratic standpoint. The republi-
cans. he declared. showed no disposition
to keep their promises made before
election. So far there had been no
indication that the tariff would be
revised so as to help the lnmon people.
He advised the democrats of the state
to stick by their party.

What physical effect Will the auto
mobile and flying machine have upon
the human race: This is one of the
questions being discussed by scientists
at the present. There was a period in
the human existence, when man could
move his ears. as does a beast. when he
subsisted in his primitive state and
numbered men as we'll as beasts among
his enemies. But the muscles by which
he accomplished this feat have almost
disappeared from lack of use. The
appendix. which gives so much trouble
at present is only a remnant of what it
formerly was. and in a short while will
not exist, Thus the physical nature of
mar changes with his changing mode of
living. How Will the automobile
affect him: He anihiliates distances:
lie adds many hours. formerly spent in
locomotlon. to the daily routine. His
nerves are constantly at the breaking
point. and his wind-splitting existence
constantly e%ndangers himself and his
%neighbor. Naturally he Will become a
wirdsplitter. but We have not time to
study out the effects on his constitution
in detail. with the exception that his
nose will become greatly elongated. The
windSplitter. or automobile nose is the
coming fashion.
