AS a rule the DEMOCRAT does, not
believe in going back over what is no
longer an item of news. But there's an
editorial item in last weeks issue of the
Munich Herald which requires cor
rection. The Herald undertakes to
state and we feel sure has been mis-
formed as to facts-that in the
primary law appeal case from Cava-
lier county before the supreme
court, 'the democrats insisting on hir-
ing the lawyers on both sides OF the
case" In order to put the Herald right
we will state that the constitutionally OF
that clause Of the law was upheld in
the behalf of the republican party by
Attorney Wineman, of Grand Forks,
and Mcintyre, of Langdon. The county
auditor, whose interest in the case was
merely in an official capacity, was repre-.
sented by Attorney Fred E. Smith. In
closing we would ask where the Munich
Herald got its inspiration for this in
tsrssting editorial item?

Works of art valued at $21, ZOO, 900


Works Of art valued at $21, 100000
were imported in the fiscal year 1909

Dingley tariff law was that for 19OG-7
about 100000 The Payne law re,
moved the duty on foreign paintings
and sculptures not produced within
the last twenty years and on other
works of art like porcelains. pottery.

last century. The notable increase in
importations of paintings, sculptures
and antiquities is to be welcomed as
.iustifying the sound policy of treating
them no longer as luxuries properly
subject to tax, but as a means of uni
versal pleasure and improvement.

A Visiting President.

Little or no fuss and fury was made
over the visit of President Montt Of
Chile to the United States. but the
South American executive no doubt
found enough excitement just as he
was leaving our shores, for he was a
witness Of the shooting Of Mayor Gay
nor Of New York. Had the distin-
guished visitor been a prince or a grand
duke or some other sprig of European
royalty his visit would have created
more general interest, for the Ameri-
can p%eople-some of them-do love to
come in close contact with persons
born to the purple.
1t is highly gratifying. however, that
most Of lis like to see a prince or a
duke just as we like to visit a dime
museum and look at the freaks. Such
a parsonage to a healthy minded
American is simply a natural curios-
ity, and we cross the street or turn the
corner to get a glimpse of him as we
would go to see a catfish out of water.
Princes axe out Of their element when
they get into the United States.
President Montt Of Chile was in his
element, according to our popular con-
ception Of affairs in South America,

On Studying spanish.

Many intelligent observers have
called attention in recent years to the
Importance of the Spanish language as
an American acquisition. "Study Span
ish," they urge. With the Philippines.
Porto Rico and the Panama canal

inhabitants, as United States territory.
it behooves the young man or woman
who seeks government service in con-
nection with these possessions to have
a knowledge Of the Spanish language.
But there is a far greater reason for
the Importance of the tongue Of Spain
in relation to Americans. Gradually
we are coming into closer commercial
and social relations with the Central
and South American republics. The
bureau of American republics, with
headquarters at Washington, is doing
much to instill into the intelligence of
the North American a sense of the du-
ties and opportunities at hand in rela-
llOu W luc OCuCEdl anu SOuLu AueE1-
can and likewise to our nearer neigh
Dor. the Mexican.
We are just beginning to learn what
marvellous resources and possibilities
exist in the Latin American republics.
Already some Of those countries have
developed into great nations. 1t is a
sad mistake to indulge in the popular
jests about the insignifcance of the
southern republics. They are advanc-
ing with the rest Of the world. and
they are our peighbors. If our colleges
and high schools would teach a little
less Latin and a little more Latin
American. otherwise Spanish. the stu
dents turned out to make their way in
the world would find the change much
to their advantage-increasingly so as
the years pass and trade relations
with the other republics in our hemi-
sphere continue to develope.

T. In the Air About 1t.

III SAo AAAA -"
Mr. Gr:hame-White, the %hyphenated
British aviator who recently came to
this country to enjoy the free use Of
American air. is adding materially to
the %;lyely Of the nation. Mr.. Ora

reporters TO some fine funny stories
about himself despite himself. Mr..
Grahame-White refuses to be inter-
viewed unless a fee Of f1OO-about
$500 in good United States money-is

Inasmuch as something like a million

This stand taken by Mr.. Grahame-

The Forum complains that Burke is
talking Burke" instead of democracy.
The "tu quoque' response is inevitable.
The Forum has been talking "Burke"
instead of republicanism. 1t has talked
against Burke instead of for johnson.
1t has talked against Burke instead of
for republican principles. Possibly the
Forum is a bit delicate about %espousing
the principles, as enumerated in the
platform. They are just a trife, a shade
too insurgent for its consumption.

REPUBLICAN INCONSISTENCIES.

The state republican platform con-
tains the following:
"We condemn the inconsistency of
the present executive of tire state in
the exercise of the veto power, and in
the use of public patronage to reward
political henchmen.
Let US see.
The legislature, which was republi-
can, appropriated state funds to the
amount of Sal ,9O1,0O in excess of the
estimated revenue of the state. This
amount was reduced by Governor Burke
by cutting out items aggregating
S114,OOO.0O.
Most people would say that the
action of the legislature was reckless
and i~ndefensible; also; that the action
of the governor in reducing the amount
of the over-approprlation was in accord
ance with sound business policy and
prudent management.
Not so with the makers of the re-
publican state platform. They utter
not a single word of reproach against
the legislature; but they condemn the
governor for saving the state a lump
sun of s114,0O0.00 excess appropriations.
Of 225 appointments made by Gov,
ernor Burke.
126 were given to the republicans.
80 were gwen to the democrats.
Among the governors appointees are
the following:
Hon. Fl. T. Helgeson, present republi
can candidate for congress.
Hon. Gunder Olson, present republi
can candidate for state treasurer.
Hon. N. q. Young, former chief Justice

Hon. B. F. Spaulding, associate justic'

If there is one thing the common,
ordinary man can understand it is
matters which touch his pocketbook-
and especially the matter of taxes. The
State Board of Equalization has materi-
ally reduced the tax levy for state
purposes, thereby leaving over 100000
in the pockets of the people. The tax
payers of the state have Gov. Burke to
thank for this favor-for his courage in
curbing the extravaganza of the republi-
can legislature by voting S114,0W of
excess appropriation, including the
$4,000 Fargo "cow barn."
