Ah, Rollo, we are at last where men are
truly great;
Come, let us gaze upon them as they run
affairs of state
See yonder man of dignity, in frock coat
and silk tile,
His face illumined with a grave, impress
sive sort of smile
Observe his hand tucked in his breast,
observe his weighty air.
All, Rollo, see his brow so full of wrin-
kles showing care
No doubt his president eye (see thatO is
gazing down the years
And sees what steps to take to guard our
land from future fears.
others lofty brow.
Observe, dear Rollo. how they join in
earnest converse now.
Would we might hear their sage re-
marks; no doubt they contemplate
A diplomatic measure that will change
the nations fate.
All, now third has met with them-a
third in high silk hat
We should be glad to have this chance
to see the statesmen chat.
The third, just like the other two, is In
a long frock coat
And has his hand tucked in his breast
my child, you should take note.
So Patrick Henry stood, no doubt, and
said with bated breath
That they could give him liberty or they
could give him death;
So Washington stood in the boat and
crossed the Delaware,
So Madison once walked these streets
with naughty, stately air.
So all the great men of the past were
seen to stand and talk
You'll notice how their statues look next
time we take a walk;
You'll see them all frock-coated, with a
hand tucked in the breast.
And patriotic fervor shall arise within
your chest.
Come, let us sidle Observe will hear
what they discuss
No doubt 1t will be something that is far
too great for us
In our poor, humble knowledge even to
comprehend
But when the statesmen whisper we may
silently attend.
What! One Of them is saying: well, I'll
tell you what Til do;
You give him that position and I'll do as
much for YOU
o, Rollo, come with father let us hasten
on our way
And see the marble statues of the men of
yesterday.

HANSBROUGH ON
RECIPROCITY
FORMER SENATOR HANSBRouGH
SAYS AGREEMENT WITH CAM
ADA WILL NOT BE RAT
flied.

Minneapolis, Jan. 3o.-The proposed
reciprocity pact with Canada will
never be ratified by congress, but 1t
will have the good effect of driving the
warning factions Of the republican
party together, according to Henry G,
Hansbrough, former senator from
North Dakota, at the West hotel last
night
Regarding the proposed agreement,
Mr.. Hansbrough said:
Il have the same opinion Of it that
had concerning the decision of the de-
partment Of justice and the supporting
order of the treasury department six
years ago when the drawback clause OF
the tariff law was construed so as to
permit the free Importation Of wheat
from Canada in the interest of -four
manufacturers in this country. 1t is
hardly necessary to add that this poll
icy would be at the expense of the do
nestle wheat grower.
This so-called reciprocity arrange
ment, which covers many articles now
protected or partially SO against for
eign competition, is open to the same
objections that | took occasion to make
against Secretary Shaw's free wheat
order. It surprises me that President

LIFE INSURANCE COMP ANIES
They Are Closely Observing Public
Health Conditions

An examining physician for one of
the prominent Life Insurance Com
panies, in an interview on the subject,
made the astonishing statement that
the reason why so many applicants
for insurance are rejected is because
kidney trouble is so common to the
American people, and the large majority
of applicants do not even suspect that
they have the disease.
He states that Judging from his
own experience and reports from drug
gists who are constantly in direct touch
with the public, there is one prepara-
ton that has probably been more sue
cussful in relieving and curing these
diseases than any remedy known. The
mid and healing influence of DIR. Kill
mers Swamp Root is soon realized. 1t
stands the highest for its remarkable
record of cures.
We find that Swamp Root is strictly
an herbal compound and we would ad :

such a remedy to give it trial. II

BICKFORD Held TO
DISTRICT COURT

Bismarck, n. D., Jan. 30.-Under
$4,000 bonds. G. l.. Bickford former
state treasurer of North Dakota,
charged with ENFORCEMENT, was held
to the district court Saturday after
noon at the conclusion of his prelim-
mary hearing before Judge K. E..
Perry. The defendants brother, A. G..
Bickford, cashier of the First State
bank of Bowbells, was also put under
bonds to be held as a witness.
The trial in the justice court started
Friday afternoon and lasted until late
the next evening. The result was not
unexpected, though at the time the re-
cess was taken Friday night it was
felt that the state had not developed
a strong case. The testimony brought
out Saturday morning and afternoon,
however. decidedly changed the situa-
ton and made it apparent that there
would be no other ultimatum.
Among those subpeonaed as wit
nesses were Lieutenant Governor Bur-
dick, Speaker Hanley, both of whom
were excused for legislative duties, as
it was later determined that the evil
dence which they would be required to
give would be unnecessary. The main
witness for the state was Mrs. Ellen
Mitchell who was chief clerk in the
treasurers Office during Mr.. Bick-
fords incumbency. w. d Austin, who
was deputy treasurer during the Bick-
ford administration. was another i'm
portant witness.

lessor Brannon is the greatest author
ity in the northwest on this subject.
This is subject which interests all
our people and everybody should make
it a point to be present and hear this
subject discussed.
The committee still has some hopes
of securing Professor Laid of the
North Dakota Agricultural college, and
if he comes, his subject will be Pure
Food. Professor Ladd is an interna-
tional authority upon this subject; and
his talks upon it are most interesting
and instructive.
Other noted speakers will be present
and deliver addresses upon subjects
that touch directly upon the farm and
farm life.
The two days will be full to the
brim with good things. A large crowd
is anticipated, any where from 800 to
400 people. This is the one gathering
of the year that should command the

tically no expense, other than tn cost
of the free luncheon. The money to
meet this expense must be contributed
by the business men of the city. All
moneys subscribed and expended will
be carefully accounted for and pub

meeting is over. Martin Jacobson and
