Honor In Politics.

All his active life the late Senator
u politician. He belonged to the old
school of politicians. which was lot
always squeamish as TO means ana
methods. Yet since his death it is re-
vealed that Senator Hill entertained a
fine sense of honor in pecuniary mat
terS. which is altogether too rare in
this country. According to Il dispatch
from Washington. there is in the ma
tional treasury the sum Of $4,000 to
Hills credit. This money was rendered
to him as salary for the time between
his election to the senate and the date
he qualified and began service. Sena-
tor Hill. we are told. Indignantly re-
fused the proffered pay.
Another politician recently came into
the limelight Of popular approval by
resigning an official position in the mu-
nicipal government of New York be-
cause, as he explained, there was no
need for his services. This man, Rob
ert c. Winters. voluntarily abandoned
a %sinecure at a salary Of $4,000 a year.
There is a man in Colorado. the pres
ent governor. John r. Shafroth. who
some years ago gave up his seat in
congress without a struggle when he
discovered that his political hackers
had employed unfair methods to elect
him. 1t is Il pleasure to record the
names of men like these. There ought
to be a little hall Of fame set apart for
politicians of their kind.

The Steel Buyers Syndicate.

The Steel Buyers Syndicate.
The Iron Trade Review declares thar
it has evidence that a steel buying
syndicate which has beer operating
for the past twelve months has been
put out of business by the activity of
the government. The syndicate was an
association of steel scrap buyers
formed by the leading consumers Of
steel scrap as manufacturing material.
All purchases for the mills of members
of the association We're made through
a central purchasing interest. Says
the Review:
Following an extended investigation into
the workings of this system, representa-
tives Of the government recently in New
York notified one of the largest steel max
ers who had been prominently identified
with the plan that the association in it's
present form is an infraction in their
| opinion Of the federal statute prohibit
ing the restraint of trade. 1t was sug-
gested that the present mode Of operation
be revised or abandoned. Upon this adj
vice being communicated to the other
steel makers who were parties to the
plan the association became inactive, and
it is in this state at the present time.
No buying in the open market has been
done since the governments ruling.
An association of iron mills was
formed to operate a similar system OF
buying, but it was broken up before it
assumed the Importance Of the steel
buyers association.

From the census bureau at Washing
ton word has been received that Stats
tics showing the population of North
Dakota and by counties and the larger
cities and towns will be given out dur
the next week or ten days. Tue popula-
ton of the state in its entirety may
be looked for to show quite a sub
%stantlal increase, but the cities and
larger towns will in some cases it is pre-
dicted be likely to experience a some
what disappointing falling off, when the
comparisons are made with the census
figures of ten years ago. The figures of
the state census are expected to result
in North Dakota having additional con-
gressional representation in the cleo
ton of two years hence.

Value of Weather Bureau.

The official weather men in Uncle
Sans service do not always hit the
mark when they make bold to predict
probably showers" increasing cloud
iness," clearing Saturday" and other
things Of that sort. But they seldom
fail to make good in announcing the
really big changes in the weather and
giving warning to the public as to hur-
ricanes, cold waves and the like.
AS an instance Of this valuable serv-
Ice rendered recently may be cited
the warnings sent out in advance Of
the fierce West Indian hurricane. For
two weeks or more the people We're
kept supplied with information as to
the probable course of this big storm.
This enabled mariners to protect their
vessels and cargoes. Without such in
formation the damage to shipping and
the loss Of life undoubtedly would have
been far greater.
The weather bureaus warnings re-
suit annually in the saving Of millions
in property and Of many precious lives
afoat and ashore. Those who are dis
posed to carp at the weather mans
occasional misft prediction should bear
in mind the fact that the general aver-
age of reliable representations is high.
The weather bureau is an important
adjunct to commerce, and it's scope
should be broadened and it's earnest
workers encouraged.

appearance of the rooms, all of the
pupils have returned to school again
after their Thanksgiving vacation.
Just four weeks of school are now
left before the Christmas holidays.
Already the students in the half year
courses are looking ahead to the coming
of the final examinations Immediately
after the Christmas vacation and they
are realizing that this month is the most
important in the school year so far.
The sophomores have finished the
study of Sohrab and Rustum by Mathew
Arnold this week. Some very interest
ing papers have been written in con-
n%ection with this poem of Persian war
fare. The class is about to take up
the study of Burns as a writer: They
will be the more ready to celebrate the
twenty-ifth of January after having
read the breezy songs of the poet of
Scotland.
The United States history class are
about to take up the period of the
Civil war. The part which Lincoln
played in our nations history is as inter
esting as 1t is familiar.
The foot ball game with Park River
which had been planned for last Friday
was called off on account of ~unfavorable
weather. The season for out door
athletics is over but some of the boys
will keep up their practice, using the
third floor.
Christmas programs are being pre-
pared by a number of the lower grades.
Miss Mcknight has begun work on
special Christmas music.
Some good reports have been heard
from last years senior class. Ellenora

BUTLER LAMB DIED
A Former Langdon Attorney and
State Tennis Champion Dies
of Heart Failure

Butler Lamb, the we'll known tennis
champion of the state, died very sud
denly at his home in Towner, heart
failure being the supposed cause of his
demise.
He will be recalled as having been
the law partner of the late Attorney
p. II. Gordon, when that firm succeeded
to the practice of AttorneyJ.C G. Monnett
some years ago. After removing from
here Butler Lamb became heavily in
terested in Texas land ventures, later
had to abandon business owing to a
general break down in health. Since
recovering he has again engaged in the
in the practice of law, locating at
Towner. N. d.
The details surrounding the death of
Attorney Butler Lamb, of Towner are
very peculiar. Mr.. Lamb, 1t appears,
had not been we'll, and while his wife
was at church took a dose of some kind
of medicine intended to produce sleep.
When she arrived home she found a note
telling her not to call him, but she be-
came alarmed and investigation revealed
the fact that he was in serious condition.
He remained in an unconscious condition
till death came. Physicians attending
gave imitation of the heart as the cause
of death.
The death of Mr.. Lamb, who has been
a practicing attorney at Towner for a
number of years, comes as a shock to
his great many friends in Langdon and
over the state generally, as no intima-
ton whatsoever had been received OF
his illness.
1t was in the state tennis tourney held
during last summer that MIR. Lamb
won the state championship, and be
had been for a number of years, quite
prominent as a contender for that honor
as we'll as for others in the tennis world,
In the primaries he was a candidate
for the democratic nomination for con.
gress, but withdrew before the election
He was we'll known throughout the
democratic ranks in the state.
He saves a wife and two children,
was 3S years of age, and the funeral
services were held in Chicago, his
former home.

Wide Interest In Air Flight.

Almost simultaneously in October
big events happened in the three
branches of air f1ying-the balloon. the
dirigible and the aeroplane. Ten big
racing balloons started from st. Louis
in an international race. In more than
one sense was this race international.
for not only We're the participants from
several countries, but most of the bal
looms crossed the border and sailed far
up into Canada. Then about the same
time Walter Wellman and his crew
performed the perilous feat of sailing
Il big dirigible nearly a thousand miles
in the air lanes above the Atlantic
ocean,. At ST. Louis. New York and
elsewhere aviation meets were held,
the contestants including the most IA
nous of the air men from abroad, as
we'll as the American thrillers.
There never was a time in the his
tory OF the world when so many big
aerial events were pulled off. and Oc-
tober of 1910 will remain a notable
month in the annals of flying. Specta-
tors of the great aviation events on
Long Island had the opportunity to see
ten aeroplanes Of the several types
afoat simultaneously. circling and
curving and swooping about each other
in a manner calculated to put to shame
anybody who expressed the opinion a
couple of years ago that the a%eroplane
was merely a dangerous and unde-
pendable toy. Even as late as one year
ago a successful aeroplane fight of any
considerable distance was Of world
wide interest. Now such flights are be-
coming almost commonplace.
