DEATHS HEAVY
HAND in SENATE
NORTH DAKOTA SENATOR ONE
OF SIX TO GO TO GREAT BE.
YoND FORM .e1st CON-
GRESS.

Washington, Nov. 21.-Death has
laid rather a heavy hand on the
United States senate during the sixty
first congress. Six members Of that
body thus far have answered the last
summons and the congress will not
expire by limitation until March T..
The list embraces Senators McLaurin
of Mississippi, Johnson Of North Da-
kota, Daniel of Virginia, McEnry of
Louisiana, Daniel of Virginia, Dolliver
of Iowa and Clay of Georgia, For
mer Governor Broward of Florida, a
senator elect, also died, but before he
had entered upon his senatorial work
Senator McLaurin was one Of the
ablest and most popular members
from the south. Col. James Gordon,
the gallant old confederate veteran,
succeeded him by gubernatorial ap-
pointment, and during the few months
Of his senatorial service he did much
to break down the prejudices between
the sections. His farewell speech in
the senate will long be remembered
as one of the striking and unusual
ever made in that body, and 1t drew
forth fine compliment from the vet
'eran Depew. Gordon was succeeded
by Leory Percy, elected by the legis-
Iature, and is still senator.
Senator Martin N. Johnson was the
next senator to die. He has had two
successors by gubernatorial appoint
ment, Fountain L. Thompson, who
after a few weeks, was compelled to
retire owing to i'll health, and William
e. Purcell. who is still senator and
will serve until the legislature shall
act in January.
Senator McEnry was third to die.
and his seat is still vacant.
Senator Daniel came next. long one
of the most picturesque and lovable
figures of the senate; man with a
brilliant war record and typical OF the
best that there is OF the southern
courtesy and culture. Former Gov
ernor Swanson, who has had service
in the house OF representatives, sue
ceeds him by gubernatorial appoint
ment.
Senator Dolliver came next, and his
loss was more distinctly national than
that of any of the others. and he will
be missed for a long time, both in
washington and in Iowa. Col. La
fayette Young Of Des Moines is his
successor by legislative appointment.
until the legislature can have time to
act.
The latest senator to die was Senat-
or Clay Of Georgia, typical southern
er in tastes and prejudices, but thor
oughIy delightful and companionable
man in every way.

EXTEND WORK
over The STATE
DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SPEAK
ING OF THE AGRICULTURAL
COLLEGE WILL EXTEND ITS
WORK THROUGH THE COLLEGE
DEPARTMENT OF EXTENSION.

Through the department of extern
sion Of the A. c., the public speak
ing department of the school is plan
ming to extend its work over the en-
tire state. BY the method that has
been suggested the public speaking
work will be carried into the high
school and graded schools as well as
literary societies.
A list of topics with material will be
given out for commencement exercises
and oTations. With these there will
also be distributed a list of titles of
the best declamations and plays, also
telling where these can be secured.
An outline of topics with material
for civic clubs. farmers clubs, literary
societies and city and country or
CARNATIONS will be put out of the
state. Also outlines, with the biblio-
graphy, on thirty of the most impor-
tant social, economic, political and
agricultural questions will be used in
this extension work
This work is to be made broader and
more comprehensive by sending out
package Libraries and small boxes con-
tanning clippings. documents, pamph-
lets and outlines on many of the i'm
portant subjects of the day. These
will be loaned only to responsible par
ties who will take the best of care of
the papers and Libraries, so that they
may be had for future use.

of highly beneficial results have been
attained by the workers of charities
in other cities. which we're presented

The child labor laws are being thor
oughly discussed, and as an outcome

North Dakota legislature which is ex-
pected to go through and work many
reforms for the benefit of the working
boy and girl Along with this there
are being held many discussions rela-
tive to the juvenile court and probation
court. 1t is also probable that laws
will be brought into North Dakota on
these subjects. with view Of working
out some Improvement in the child
court situation in this state.
Among those who are attending the
meeting from Fargo are Mrs. =. IA.
barrow. Miss Lillian Topping and Miss
Robinson of the visiting nurse depart
ment Of the associated charities. Miss
Robinson will return from the meeting

TO PURCHASE PICTURES
Benefit Lecture at the Fargo Library
to Buy Pictures for the Chill
dren's Room.

Much interest is being taken in the
lecture that will be given at the Far.
go Public Library auditorium Tues
day evening for the benefit of the chill
dren's room Of the library. The pro-
ceeds of the lecture will be given to
purchase pictures for the room that is
used by the little folks.
DIR. Max BAIT will deliver an illus
trated lecture on the Two Ancient
Cities of Germany, Nuremberg and
Bothenberg. He is a native of der
Deutschland and is well versed on the
history of these two cities.
Good pictures are Of great educa-
tional value and it is hoped that a
neat sum will be realized for the pur-
chase Of the hangings. Since the pub
lie is stimulated by the subject OF
great pictures, these should form a
part Of the fittings OF public IL
brary.
A. e. Bostwick, writing in The
American Public Library says:
THE librarian should remember that
his library, If filled with few proper
" selected pictures, is, in effect, an art
gallery, and will contribute to its
users education in the appreciation of
art-not, of course, by furnishing a
complete series Of historical examples.
as great collection would do, but by
gradually forcing upon one and all the
conviction that the way in which a
thing is done may be that which
makes 1t worth while"
