Norways's Independence.

A dramatic incident in Norway's
struggle for a constitution and indie
pendence took place when the consti-
tuition was adopted, the members
joining hands after taking IA solemn
oath TO support it, declared they
would battle for liberty ''until Dovre
mountain shall fall, ;" and Dovre noun
tain is the most stupendous mass in
that country Of mountains.
This shows the spirit of the men
who stood for liberty in that far
northland, and that spirit is strong
among Norwegians and their descend
ants in this country, for May 18th
calls for a revival of that spirit
wherever Norseman are found in
their adopted country, and Canton
and Lincoln county has that spirit to
a degree that wins admiration.
Fairview had a big celebration with
music and oratory and games, and
Augustana had planned for a college
celebration owe the river, but the
heavy rain Monday night made the
ground unfit for any outdoor celebra-
tion and it was given up.
The Dovre Society of Canton. a new
organization, had decided on a cele-
bration across the river, but that was
called off, nevertheless the patriotic
DovreS decided to occupy the court
house square and carry out their pro-
gram.
A speakers platform was erected
on the southeast corner of the court
house and the American and Norweg-
ian flags were planted side by side and
a crowd assembled in the afternoon
to honor the day and the speakers.
Attorney Martin Berg of Sioux
Falls spoke in Norwegian and Attor-
ney Knudson of this city spoke in
English, after having made a brilliant
I patriotic address in Fairview in the
forenoon. The Griegs furnished the
vocal music, and the spirit of liberty
was in their songs, and the Dovre so
ciety felt proud of their first celebra.
tion, This society is named after
that famous mountain in Norway
that figured in the declaration when
the constitutional convention de-
clared that they would fight for liber.
ty until Dovre mountain fell.
The baseball fans had an outing
during The day. The Canton clut
played a game with Inwood at Fair
view and Canton won by a score of Ii
to 3 and a $50 purse in the bargain
The Inwood girls basket ball team
played the Fairview girls, and FAIR
view won by a cor of IA to I.
The Augustana college baseball
club and the Baptist college club OF
Sioux Falls played an exceedingly fine
game on the fair grounds at Cantor
and Augustana won by a score of 3 tt
2, which indicates that the clubs were
we'll matched and played ball every
minute.
Then the Omaha boosters came
along with a big train, a brass bano
and souvenirs and they helped to FL
out the spirit of patriotism that was
rampant in Canton all day.

THE PASSING OF THE OLD AND
THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR.

This week we bid farewell to the
old year and good morning to the New
Year. Another milestone has been
reached and passed and we enter upon
the New Year with new and better
ideas Of human life and human en-
deavor. It is the broad-minded, level
headed men and women who will
achieve success in this new year-one
who is willing to do unto his neigh
Dor as he would that they should do
unto him. While we believe the world
in general is growing better, yet there
are great many dark spots upon this
terrestrial globe Race prejudice and
negro hatred in America. with selfish
and greed in Europe, with milttartsm
in Russia and France, with heathen-
ism in parts of Asia and Africa are
some of the gigantic problems that
this year and century must meet and
begin to solve. The solution may seem
slow and hard, but not 80 II we begin
right. If we only let reason. Justice,
equality and love be our guiding spirit
then prejudice will vanish, right will
be enthroned, justice will rule and love
prevail. Now let us all strive to bring
about these better things, and at the
end Of this new year we Will be nearer
this realization than now.

KEOKUK NOTES.

Nineteen hundred and ten is now
with us. Twelve months OF happiness
and prosperity hoped for Happy New
Year. Goodbye, old year Of 1909. The
arrival of the new year was welcomed
at midnight by the shooting Of guns
all over the city, and for several min
utes just before, and just after the
clock had struck the hours the boom
ing of shot-guns and revolvers could
be heard. The old year slipped away
and the new one came in without any
undue excitement. The death of 1909
was a peaceful and quiet one and came
gently. Many social events were held
and the passing Of the line was the
time for dancing by many, while 9TH
ers were sitting up and watching the
coming Of another year. The weather
was cold and snow deep. 1t was the
case this season of "full knee deep
lies the winter snow; the old year is
dying"

RESUME OF THE TEAR 1sss
ACHIEVEMENTS.

In the passing OF the old year we
usually turn over new leaf. Now, let
us review the race achievements as
measured by the best Of the Anglo
Saxon race. II we're to enumerate
some of the races great men In this
article would point you to Hannibal
great French novelist. 8. Coleridge
Taylor the English composer, Tanner
in art. or Douglass, Bruce and Lang
ston as American statesmen. but l am
only to give the achievements Of the
race within the past year.
Perhaps one OF the most permanent
and far-reaching achievements Of the
race In America Is the fact that the
past year there were more boys and
girls attending the universities, col
leges, Academic, normal and Industri-
al schools, than ever in the history Of
the race. Another important achieve
ment was the electing Of colored
man, General Gomez, president Of Gu
ba, who has brought peace and union
in that troubled republic. Then the
recent speeches being made In the
heart Of the South by Booker T. Wash
ington, the world famous Industrial
educator, has been productive. The
last meeting OF the National Business
Mems League In Louisville, KY, was
effective In race building and uplift-
ing. Then the recent Quadriennial
Meeting Of the Supreme Lodge of
knights Pythias at Kansas City. Mo-,
where 5000 men In uniform rank; one
special train from Virginia has an OBJ
servation car called the Bankers OBJ
ssrvation car, led by that intrepid race
leader John J. Mitchell, Jr., and many
other similar gatherings of national
Importance. The greatest achievement
this year just ended was the calling
together Of representatives of the
darker races of the world In an inter-
national or Worlds Council to be held
in Egypt during the spring and sum
mer Of 1912 for the purpose Of closer
union and to consider all national and
international questions; another very
important achievement was the deci-
sion of the supreme court in finding
the sheriff of Tennessee guilty of con-
tempt by falling to protect the life Of
negro prison; hence the great strong
arm of the supreme court put them
behind the bars. Today one of the
greatest talked of and most successful
in his line of work Is Jack Johnson,
the first negro champion heavyweight
of the world, who is now matched for
the worlds championship with James
Jeffries with more OF our people enter
ing the Industrial and commercial pur-
suits can any one fail to see sure
signs OF permanent achievements !
could give you a hundred examples
this year where individuals among the
race have excelled their more favored
Anglo brother in intellectual aAd COM
smercial fields and other lines. Now
siet us 10 sh0peful; and let orr Eatch-'
word be onward and upward q great
er achievements. 3
