CALIFORNIA As UTOPIA.

AS a political experiment station

to be distanced by California, accord
ing to the opinion of St. Louis
newspaper. The measure of direct
government which has just been de-
creed in the Golden state is far larg-
er than any other community in the
United States or elsewhere ever
adopted at one stroke. It has enacted
the initiative, the referendum, the
recall which covers the judiciary as
we'll as other officials, the direct pri-
mary for all officers, and the ballot
for women for presidential electors
and all other officials. These new de.
partures were all made at the same
moment. Other communities have
adopted nearly all of these innova.
tions, but none adopted all of them
simultaneously.
New communities care nothing for

About a year ago the Minnesota
Historical society appealed, through
Governor Eberhardt, to the French
authorities to find the stone. But
these authorities merely shrugged

INJURED something about American
"humbug." But there Is no humbug
possible in this case and we cannot
afford to loose our earliest historical
records because of this supercilious
Indifference. On the way to Europe
l therefore stopped in Washington
and with the energetic support of Sen.
: ator Knute Nelson succeeded in get
ting our secretary of state, Mr.. John
Knox, and the French ambassador,
; NJ. Jusserapd, to make official request
: to the French to search for the stone.
In Paris this summer l personally
searched the museums of the city for
the stone but in vain. AS none of
these museums existed at the time the
stone was sent to France it is prob
able the stone is reposing in some
private collection, if yet in existence.
The most feasible route to find any
trace of it seems to be to search the
archieves and private papers of M.
de Mauripas, of the Marine, to whom
the stone was sent, this work has been
kindly undertaken by Mr.. Waldo Gift
ford, who now for four years with
four assistants has searched the
French archieves for material on our
colonial history under the auspices of
the Carnegie institution.
Finally, brought the subject to
the attention of many prominent
archaeologists and historians at my
address on the subject in Rouen dur

will soon hear something more about

We see from this how Mr.. Holland
is working to make clear a difficult
passage of the interesting North Da-
kota history. 1t may be that the his
torical society of our own state may
aid him in this research work for
which he SO far has had no material
help from this state. And he is poor
man, financially, but he is energetic
and so interested that he has saved
neither money nor trouble.

AIM At THE GAME.
. :: :. : : :: Z: : : :: : = : :: =:

When the hunter starts out he has
his gun in order, takes a dog along
to locate the game, and takes careful
aim before pulling the trigger.
The plowman starts out with his
pillow in good order. But most of them
do not pay the same attention as to
it's being the game season; yet why
not? 1t is fully as important-the
plowman is after game, too. AS was
said the hunter takes careful aim,
while many plowmen set their plows
in the soil and 60 ahead, apparently
not paying much attention to the fact
that it is making the seed bed, that
the crop put on the next year will
have to get it's food out of the soil
that is being turned with the plow'
Too often he does what the hunter
would do if he were to 60 out in the
field, raise his gun, pull the trigger
and trust to luck that there would
be some game in front of his gun,
The plowman is after a crop, and
needs to keep that in mind. There
is a best season for blowing and that
is early in the fall. There is a best
way to plow, and that is deep, and
not taking wider furrow than the
pillow will cut and turn /ell.

n TIE Mandan Indians II

Monument Association

Monument Association.

All people on earth have dark hail
with the exception of those descend
ed from the north European race. But
when De la Verendrye was in the Da.
kota region near Bismarck in 1888, he
found the Mandan Indians with blond
hair and blue eyes. They differed
from the other Indians. Nobody know;
from where they originated. Some
suppose they are descendants from
the Norwegian race, others that they
descend from tne Irish. The Irish
got the light hair from mixture with
the Norwegian Vikings. The hair of
such descendants is rather reddish in
color.

America is Hjalmar Rued Holland, of

readers of the Tribune see what he
says.
I'm 1888 the Chevalier de la Yer
endrye made trip from Montreal
to the seat of the Mandan Indians
(near the present Bismarck, N. d.
Near their territory he found a small
stone curiously engraved on both sides
with strange characters. He satisfied
himself that the inscription was not
of Indian origin and then took it with
him to the Jesuit scholars at Quebec.
They were agreed that the inscription
contained letters indians use only
photography and that these letters
were of Tartarian origin. 1t was then
sent to the minister of the marine, G.
de Mauripas. For a detailed account
of tbs stone see Kalm's Travels into
North America, London, 1911, Vol. 3,
PIP. 125-128.
Tartarian and runic characters have
remarkable similarity and would
look alike to one who is not special
list in either. As the Tartarian origin
is out of the question: and the inscrip.
ton was neither of Indian or any
known European origin, the conclu-
sion is more than probable that it was
runic inscription fused by the Vik.

In his Chicago address President
Taft declared his enmity to the evil
trusts, and expressed himself as in
full accord with the government suit
against the United States Steel corpo-
ration. These declarations were not
necessary, however, to convince the
public of the presidents attitude. 1t
was but a reiteration of what he has
said many times before.

!: = ! !: !: + = = :: + :: = :: = :. .


The first test in all the departments
was held, with remarkable results in
standings. This plan of six weeks
tests has been established as regular
feature of class work, and enables
the students to keep in, closer touch
with their progress.
The November number of the bulle-
tin is out and has some interesting
features. A beautiful picture of the
new and elegant heating and power
plant, equipped by Price Co., appears
on the front page. The plant is CIV
ing first class service and is large
enough for ten buildings. The Bull
letin mentions the introduction of win
ter courses in practical and theoreti-
cal subjects, showing the opportunity
the farmer boys and girls have in OBJ
tanning an education. No doubt large
number will avail themselves of this
opportunity. The articles illustrate
the close touch the college has with
the people. The article on the finan-
cial condition of the college is very
gratifying, showing that in two years
the assets have run over the quarter
million mark, it amounting to $751;

The president, DR.. Kroeze, gave two
addresses, Friday and Saturday, at
the Tri-County Teachers Association,
which met at New Rockford. He
gave the popular lecture of the occa-
sion on Friday night, and spoke on
the training of the elemental self
hood of the child Saturday morning.
He commended the efforts put forth
to improve the educational advan-
tages in the rural districts, and en-
couraged the best teachers to first
take up rural teaching; that college
bred men and women ought to begin
there, and that no teacher should
hasten into the profession, but acquire
a college course, as the child deserves
the best, prevention being greater
than cure, and this begins with the
child, not the full grown youth. The
superior teacher should be in the
grades, there is where the youth needs
the inspiration of strong personality
in order to become the future student.

FEDERAL CONTROL OF ALASKA

FEDERAL CONTROL Ot ALAoNA.
Development of Alaska, with the
coal grants under federal supervision
and the extension of transportation
facilities by the government, if nee
essary, was the administration plan
unfolded by Walter F. Fisher, secre
tary of the interior, speaking before
the American Mining congress.
Mr. Fisher quoted decisions OF TIE
United States supreme court to sup
port his contention of the right Of the
government to construct railroads IN
Alaska, and that such action by the
government would not be an invasion,
as has been claimed, of the legitimate
domain OF private enterprise.
He declared that stricS operation
by the government Of mining enter
prises and the transport aticn of the
coal so mined involved ST. many far
reaching changes. both Of policy and
administration, that there is little
chance at present of it's adoption to
the exclusion of private operation.
Mr. Fisher made one point plain.
Controller bay will not pass out OF
the control of the government.
The secretary detailed the opera
tons of the R. S. Ryan syndicate, but
assured his hearers that the govern
ment is still in power and will re-
main so.
Mr.. Fisher read his address. He
said that owing to the importance of
the views on Alaska, being as they
are the views of the administration,
he determined to have his remarks
printed, that the definite expression
of the administrations plans and
views might not be misconstrued or
falsely interpreted.
