EDITORIAL CONVENTIONS.

EDITORIAL NFENT1ONS.
The World is heartily in favor of
business and systematic basis OF COM
putation for newspapers and job shops
and will always stand for cooperation
among the pen-pushers Of the state III
All effort to secure a fair price for
their work but we are equally firmly
impressed with the idea that the E,li-
tcrial Association stands for some
thing more than the consideration OF
sordd money matters. In other states
we know through observation ANA per
sonal attendance that the business end
OF the newspaper is entirely sui'serH-
lent at the Editorial meetings to olher
matters which are of interest to The
front office. North Dakota has an eN-
cnllent opportunity to arrange pro,
grams of more than passing interest
for its editors. There are conditions
to cope with in the western states IN

Ne can t help hut believe that we owe
something to the editors of the old

the benefit they had secured for the
community and as their losses The en-
cmies they might have unfortunately
made.

There is vast difference between
the old time newspaper NAH ami the
editor Of the modern day. Not many
years ago the newspaper man S compen-

deal of attention, especially when it
become known that they had seen SER

charge papers and other documents at
their homes on the Fort Berthold
reservation and they will send them
down to Washington so that the prop

The commissioner also assured
them that in case their papers did not

one of the three classes covered by the
general pension law that he would
see that special bill was introduced
in congress providing for pension for
them.

House, the national capuitol, the con-
gressional library, the mint and other
public buildings. The Indians were
extremely surprised at their visit to
the mint where they watched the
clerks and employees handling mil

such great speed and accuracy. Dur

opportunity to meet President Taft

moment of their trip, and were aston

they stated that they were glad to get
back to their home in North Dakota.

Sunday evening, Chiefs Enemy Heart
and Red Bear, accompanied by Alfred
Bear, who accompanied them as in
terpreter, arrived in the capital city
from Washington, D. c., where they
went to visit with the Great Father
to see about securing pension for
services rendered to the United States
army during the frontier days when
they were employed IS scouts by the
government troops.
Chiefs Enemy Heart and Red Bear
are members of the Airkara tribe.
They were Indian scouts stationed at
old Fort Abraham Lincoln under Gus
ter When Custer and the other forces
started on the memorable expedition
up the YELLOWSTONE which resulted in
the massacre on the banks of the Lit
tie Big Horn Enemy Heort remained
at Fort Lincoln to aid the troops
which were left there to garrison the
post.
Red Bear however went along with
the expedition and was one of the
scouts who discovered the camp of the
Sioux. They notified Custer of the
camp, and he babe them to remain
where they were while he prepared
to sail right in and clean them up
without waiting for any reinforce
ments. 1t is the opinion of the In
dian scouts that had Custer taken
them along with him there would have
been different story to tell. There
were between IS and 80 of the scouts
and they knew how to take advantage
of all articles of cover, such as rocks,
etc, and could have gotten to the
cover of the timber. However Custer
did not take them and met his death
with all of his command on the slope
of hill that bordered the Little Big
Horn.
The three Indians were very much
interested in the east. They were
more than surprised as we'll as pleased
to see the large and elegant buildings.
They did not stop at Chicago but went
right through both on their way down
and on their return. While in Wash
