Is Peace In Sioht2

Andrew Carnegie predicts that Sec

wants an option on the second year
for the fulillment Of his prophecy.
The London Times speaks in praise of
the proposed adoption Of an arhitra-
ton treaty between America and
Great Britain in line with the Knox
plan, but regards the dream of similar
treaties between all nations as some
what %utopian.

words and roseate prospects, most of
the nations continue building Dread

MONEYS WILL CONTESTED
Widow Marries Lawyer and Starts
Action to Set Aside Will

An item in the news columns of yester-
days daily papers confirms the rumor
for some little time past current that
the will of the late Banker W. j. Mooney
will be contested by his widow who last
week was remarked and is now Mrs Gin
ton Dewitt Frazier, wife of a reputed
wealthy lawyer in New Jersey. The con-
tention of Mrs. Mooney-Frazier is that
there was a will subsequent to the one
that has already been probated, and that
in such subsequent will she was made
the sole heir to the estate, outside of ap-
proximately $4,000 in life insurance,
the value of the entire estate being
about S225,000. The provisions of the
first will, already %probated are such that
her marriage transfers her share of the
income from the estate from herself to
her stepson John B.. Mooney The terms
of the will which she now seeks to set
aside provides that since she has remar-
ried Mrs. Mooney-Frazier will not re-

during the eight years which still remain
before the division of the property as
provided for under the terms of the will
to be divided equally between John b.
Mooney and his fathers second wife at
the end of the ten year period following
his death. The subsequent will is said
to have been drawn in 1908 and is al
legged to have been destroyed after Mr..
MONEYS death 1t is understood that
scme time ago an effort was made by
Mrs Mooney to secure from her stepson,
John B. Mooney a release from the con-
ditions of the first will but the release
was not granted and the action to con-
test and set aside the will followed.

Langdon has an enviable reputation

Langdon has an enviable reputation,
that of being the cleanest and prettiest
town along the line. The reputation
was acquired for the town by citizens
who keep their premises clean. Some
times when a desirable thing has been
acquired those who have it become care
less and before long lose their cherished
possession on account of their careless
ness. Langdon residents do not intend
to let this town lose its reputation of
being clean and pretty, for every day
they car be seen cleaning their premises
and improving the appearance of their
property. These people are the right
kind Of boosters. They are the kind
that will aid greatly in making Langdon
the best town west of Grand Forks.

Reducing Government Expenses.

BY a%bOiiShing half Il dozen useless
committees and ninety-eight clerical
jobs the new Democratic house Of rep
resentatives saves Uncle Sam $lS3, 900
u year. This is a comparatively small
saving when we take into considera-
ton the billion dollars and more that
is appropriated biennially to run this
country and keep in the war game"
But if other branches Of the govern
ment will follow the lead of the house
and do a little retrenching here and
there. cutting out the sinecures and
doing away with bureaus which have
outgrown their usefulness. a very con-
siderable saving may be effected.
Ex-senator Aldrich Of Rhode Island,
who knows something about finances.
is quoted as saying that expenses
could be reduced $500, 900 a year if
the administration of the government
were conducted along the lines Of pri-
vate business. In the nature of things
this much desired maximum Of saving
is impracticable of realization. Yet in
the course Of a few years many mil
lions of dollars might be saved if all
hands worked toward the same end,
that of business methods in economic.
ing.
The tendency in all government
from the village or township to the
federal administrations toward ex-
travagance rather than economy. The
late Grover Cleveland characterized
public Office as a public trust. Too
many men in Office and many more
who would like to be in office regard
it as a private snap. But this view
point. it is gratifying to be able to say.
is not held so generally now as it was
q few years ago. The public conscience
has been awakened by various graft
prosecutions and disclosures. A higher
civic morality now pervades the ma
ton. This may be seen even in the
smaller local Offices. Petty official
graft is not so common nowadays as
it was ten years ago.
Really there is no good reason why
the administration of public affairs
should not be conducted along business
lines. Why not?

Twenty New Senators.

Twenty New Senators.
When the Sixty-second congress met
in special session April 4 twenty new
faces were seen in the United States
senate. Thirteen of the new senators
are Democrats; seven are Republicans.
Nineteen states are represented by the
new men. West Virginia having SEN
two new senators. Several of these
men sat in the senate for a few weeks
before the end Of the Sixty-frst con-
gress, elected or appointed t. fill I'M
expired terms, but practically speaking
every man of the twenty is a fresh ar
rival. Some of them have served as
members of the lower house. Others
have been little known outside their
OWL states. One Of the new senators.
Luke Lea of Tennessee. is 1.-The baby
Of the senate" being but thirty-two
years Of age.
Several Of the old warehouses; Of the
senate are seen no more in that body.
Elkins of West Virginia is dead. AL
drich Of Rhode Island and Hale of
Maine are retired. Beveridge of Indl-
ana also is retired-for the present., at
any rate. Carter of Montana failed to
"come back" Depew of New York
the inimitablc Chauncey-is replaced
by Judge O'Gorman. whose election
took place only a few days before the
meeting of congress-. John Sharp Will
liams of Mississippi. formerly Demo-
cratic leader in the house. is one of
the notable new arrivals.
1t is too early in the game to fore
cast the effect of this large infusion Of
new blood into the august body, but
that some of the new senators will
build big regulations for themselves is
not to be doubted. 1t may be said that
practically all Of them are able men.
Nowadays a new senator is much
more Of an entity in the senate than
was the case a few years ago. Until
recent years a senator who dared to
assert himself in the first months of
his service was squelched promptly by
the old timers, but at present a senator
who has anything to say and knows
how to say it can speak his piece as
soon as be takesthe oath. The nation
will watch the careers Of these twenty
newcomers with interest.
