AS encouraging signs of the times, are
the plans the democrats have laid out
in congress. The first step is to convince
the farmer that the reciprocity measure
is a good thing and;will serve as an en-
tering wedge to a general slowering of
the tariff upon those articles he has to
buy, principally, farm implements and
wearing apparel. 1t lis proposeds to
pass the Canadian agreement the stirst
thing as an evidence of good faith and
and then proceed to the consideration
of that equalization of benefits, the lack
of which has furnished the agricultural
element with its argument against re-
clprocity. 1t is firmly believed Presi-
dent Taft missed his opportunity in not
advising such a course in his message.
The people demand a lowering of the
duties, upon what we eat and wear, aud
the democrats see the light and propose
to follow it. Whether the senate will
the movement is problematical.
If it does we believe 1t will have cause
to regret it.

The Boy From the Country.

ASy SASAA ~
One Of the opposition's arguments
against the election of Professor Mer-
RAM to the mayoralty Of Chicago was
the fact that he was born in IL small
village. Merriam pleaded guilty to the
charge and seemed rather proud that
he came from the rural regions. 1t will
be recalled that Il certain man. now
dead. who won national distinction was
elected governor Of q state because
the opposing party managers circulat-
ed the ~story-which vas true-that his
mother used to take in washing. The
Chicago argument that a man born in
the country is incapable Of administer
ing a big city's government is Of a
stripe with this silly argument.
AS a matter Of fact, it is the country
born boys who rule the important
American cities, not only in public Of
fee, but in business and the profess
sions. In the larger cities the majority
Of successful business men were born
and brought up in country towns or on
farms. Comparatively few of the high
1y notable careers started in congested
city districts. They began in the open,
environed by nature in the rough. In
boyhood many of these successful men
got corns on their hands from hoeing
corr or holding the plow handles. and
they developed lung power for future
oratory or persuasive conversation by
yelling Gee "Whoa!" 'Haw!' at OBJ
streperous mules or horses. Many 9TH
ers now occupying places Of power in
city government or commercial life got
their start as delivery boys for village
stores, "devils" in small town newspa-
per offices or some other semirural
service.
It is distinctly an advantage to be
born in the country or in a small town.
The environment. both moral and
physical, is superior to that of the
great city. The opportunities for de-
veloping individuality are greater. The
very lack Of fierce activity and big
events serves to develop in the country
boy a higher ambition than that which
animates the boy reared in the whirli-
gig of urban scenes. The country boy
goes to the city because he wants to
get into the midst of the wider activi-
ties, and if he has the stuff in him thai
makes for success his chances are bet
ter than those Of his city cousin.

An article in this weeks issue which
should be given a careful.reading by all
Langdon subscribers of the paper is the
report to the city council by DR.. j. j.
Mugan, its health officer. 1t touches
with many useful details, facts relative
to existing %unsanltary conditions, to be
found in nearly every section of the city,
and suggests how the correct remedy
should be applied. The line of work
needed to make Langdon healthful,
beautiful and clean, as outlined in the re-
port of DR.. Mugan, follows up ideas that
can best be carried out by u co-opera-
ton of effort on the part of u citizens
through the medium of our civic i'm

AS a senatorial name O'Gorman has
a somewhat different sound from De-
Parks For the People.

Every town, no matter how small.
should have a public park. The people
need an outdoor meeting place for
recreation, exercise and friendly COM
mingling. The old folks should have
seats in shady spots, and the children
should have Fairgrounds. Some cities
make too little use Of their parks.
Keep Off the Grass" however, is by
no mean so nearly ubiquitous in
parks as it used to be. 1t is all very
well to preserve the beauty of a grass
plot, but every park should have a con-
siderable area of greensward where
the children may roll and tumble at
will and the grownups may spread
their luncheon cloths in picnic style.
Too many towns are so highly COM
m~ercialized. so deeply devoted to the
unitarian ideal. that they neglect the
beautiful and the beneficent. A pub
lie park, ever though it be but a few
acres, really m within the utilita-
r1an classification, for it's benefits are
obvious. Park areas should be set
aside when a town is young. so that
when the place grows big and popu-
lous it will not be necessary. in order
to provide pleasure grounds for the
people, to pay excessive prices for the
land. Persons philanthropically in
clined can put their surplus funds to
no better use than the establishing of
parks.
The writer has in mind a certain
man in a western city who, when in
toxicated, shot and wounded his wife
and served a term in prison for the
offense. He was a wealthy man. and
he had given to his city a tract Of sew
eral hundred acres for park purposes.
His reputation was smirched by his
unfortunate deed Of violence and its
consequences, but the recording angel
nc doubt will chronicle his gift Of a
splendid park for the perpetual use of
the people. That will be remembered
by future generations when his one Of
Tense against society will be forgotten.

The proposed amendment to the fede.
raj constitution providing for the
election of United States senators by
the direct vote of the people instead of
by the legislatures was passed by the
democratic house of congress in a
short time and is now awaiting action
by the senate. 1t is believed that it will
pass that body and go to the states
for approval. 1t was defeated by a few
votes in the senate last winter and a
large number of the new senators favor
the proposition.

With the passing of Arbor Day to-
morrow it is none too soon to plan for a
proper observance of Memorial Day
this year. Langdon people generally
have a proper conception of what their
duty is regarding the matter, but it will
be recalled that last year we we're very
remiss in the matter. Start right
now, let the city authorities, theEclergy
the schools and our townspeople as a
body do their share SO that with the
passing of May 30th it can be said that
the people Of Langdon did not this
year leave themselves open to comment
and criticism when IL came to a fitting
observance Of Memorial Day.

CONSOLIDATION OF SCHOOLS.

Langdon is this summer erecting a
new graded and high school building to
take the place of the heavy loss it sus-
tanned by fire in February. 1t will from
new on be possible for Langdon to fur
nish better and more ample educational
facilities than any town OF twice its size
over the state, The idea suggests itself
and is quite generally received with ap-
prevail that now is a time when the ques-
ton of adopting the system of consolida-
ton of outlying schools near Langdon
with the new city school could be very
satisfactorily carried out to a mutual
advantage by both the Langdon city
special school district and such outlying
rural districts as are Immediately IN
terested in such a step if taken,
Langdon city special school district
atthe present time in addition to the city
limits proper also includes ten sections
in Elgin township in which it is located,
and the children of families living there
in attend the Langdon city school. If
it should be determined to adopt the
consolidated school system in langdon
and make it practical and a success the
consolidated school district would have
to be formed SO as to include both
Elgin and Manila townships as Langden
occupies almost a central location be-
$1,000 l. A-,- m %l1 r,1r% ~ L1~,-
a willingness to consolidate has been evil
dent for some time past and since it has
become evident that Langdon city is
now placed in a position where it has to
rebuild and will enlarge the advantages
of consolidation also strongly appeal to
residents of Manila township west of US.
There are of course numerous details
that would confront a proposition of this
kind but it is generally appreciated that
if such a plan of consolidation is carried
into effect now is the time and that &C
ton should be taken withsas little delay
as possible. The advantages provided
in Langdon's graded and high school
courses of study require no charging
upon to show where pupils now attend
ing the rural schools of Elgin and Man
lila would benefit by adopting the on
solidated school system. All over the
country consolidation has shown a gain
in educational advantage, it .also mean
a longer term of school each year and
the question of transporting pupils to
and from school is one easily figured out
upon lines shown to be practical in other
places. The question is one that is now
being viewed from all points by those in
terested in educational matters in Lang
don and itsslmmediate neighborhood.
