INTERNATIONAL COINAGE.

The Hague, capital of the little coun-
try of The Netherlands and the council
city of the nations, is the host this
summer of a number of important
gatherings.
Among these none is probably at
tracing more attention than the in
ternational monetary conference, whose
chief topic for elaboration is interna-
tional coinage.
The problem of money exchange be-
tween the nations has always been one
of annoyance and expense.
The plan of each nation issuing a
certain kind of coinage that will be re-
ceived as legal tender at a specific ana
constant value by every other nation
is very attractive one. Monetary ex-
perts have been seeking for years to
have 1t put into operation.
But almost insuperable difficulties
were found in the way. The idea, how
ever has not been abandoned. On the
other hand, greater interest seems to
be manifested in it than ever.
Representatives from thirty-seven
countries are participating in The
Hague conference this summer-among
whom are some Of the worlds most
noted experts on finance and interna-
tional law.
Three times in the history of the
United States experimental coins for
international circulation were struck
off-but congress each time failed TO
sanction their use.
France, Italy and Spain already
possess a monetary league and the
franc, Ira and pesera are passed in
them at like value.
England and the United States were
asked to join this league, but the diff
culties involved prevented them. The
present conference was proposed by
Germany two years ago and the inter
vening time has been spent by the
representatives in the study and discus
sion of the entire subject.
The swiftness of modern communica
ton has made the world one big market
place-rendering the use therein of
money of many kinds Of systems cum
bersome and hampering.

BETTER YIELDS.

Among the remarkable things about
the crops this year are the many re-
ports Of yields far in excess of the
estimates made by the farmers a short
time ago. OF course there are many
fields that will not produce many bush
els, but there are others that were
regarded a few weeks as practically
worthless from which fifteen to twenty.
five bushels per acre are being thresh-
ed.
One farmer told The Forum that iii
July he inspected a field and thought
1t so burHed up there would not be
enough to harvest. He concluded the
prospect was so poor that he would
pillow it under. He did pillow some OF
1t, but illness prevented his doing much
work just at that time. Later what
was left looked a little better and he
concluded to wait. He threshed sixteen
bushels per acre from that part OF the
field he did not plow. He insists he
S"A iLLldSliS NOW the crop grew ana
the wheat yielded that amount as he
and his neighbors had agreed It would
not go more than two or three bushels.
The Forum has reports of several in
stances where the farmers estimated
they would get seven or eight bushels
and got twice that.
In other localities where twelve and
fifteen bushels had been expected the
yield in many cases went more than
twenty.
These increased yields have not been
universal-but they have occurred with
such frequency they have excited a
great deal of comment. even among the
old timers.
One of the most plausible explana-
tons Of the boost-aside from the fact
that the soil has such wonderful recup-
erative powers--is that the fields on
which the unexpected yields were found
had been better cultivated in the past
than those which failed to produce so
well.

FOUR YEAR TERMS.

There seems to be a growing sentl-
ment on the part Of the people. Of the
state to limit county and state office
holding.
Years ago when the state was new
and some counties so sparsely settled
that efficient officials were difficult to
s secure, it was all right to permit some
. officials to continue in office term after
: term. That necessity no longer ex-
I lists. Even the newest counties have
Z dozens of men competent to fill the
+ duties Of each office.
E Under the old rule the law did not
! permit sheriffs and treasurers to con-
tinue in office indefinitely, 1t is now
urged not only that four-year limit
be placed on all oflces-but that the
law be so changed as to make the term
of office four years instead Of two-and
the office holders ineligible to consecu-
tive reelection.
There are many arguments in favor
Of such action. If each state and
county official could be assured of n
four-year salary for one campaign
there would be more inducement for
better men to enter the race. If a can
didate didn't have to make a campaign
every two years he would be able to
save something from the salary. If
he was not so busy seeking re-elec-
ton every two years he could devote
more time to his official duties and give
the state or county better service. He
would not be so busy studying the poll
tical effect Of his actions and would be
able to do more effective work.
The next legislature could take the
preliminary steps toward submitting u
proposed amendment to the constrtu-
ton so the change in the terms of
county and state offices could be every
four years and make the election occur
during presidential contests.
OF course the terms of congressman
could not be changed and there would
have to be biennial election on that
account, and for members of the legis-
lature, but many people believe it would
be highly beneficial to have leg
islative sessions in quadrennial rather
than biennial periods. If some great
exigency arose 1t would be an easy
matter to call a special session in the
interim and 1t could be confined ex-
clusively to matters in issue.
The Forum hopes the next legisla-
ture will regard the wishes of the peo-
pie in this important matter-and re-
lieve the voters of North Dakota of the
terrors of a continuous political per-
Torrance. The present biennial cleo
tions preceded by the agitation Of the
primary election are entirely too much
Of good thing.

FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE.

The Chicago Record Herald pays the
following tribute to the memory Of the
late Florence Nightingale:
The fame Of Florence Nightingale
is imperishable. She will live in history
not only as one of the great personali-
ties Of a wonderful century, bur as one
of the heroines of all time, as one OF
natures mobiles. She had a rare COM
bination OF gifts-ardor for service
sympathy with suffering, disregard OF
self, courage and organizing genius
and she devoted all her gifts to the
welfare of stricken and helpless hui
mainly under particularly dangerous
and tragic conditions. There Is not Q
corner of the world where the angel OF

loved for decades.
Not, however, In words alone has the
world paid tribute to Florence Nightin-
