VACANCIES AT WEST POINT.

A recently published statement to
the effect-that the enrolment at the
United States Military academy at
West Point is rarely more that rs
per cent of the maximum number per-
mitted--suggests that a large number
of American boys are overlooking a
great opportunity which they might
win for themselves.
The large number of vacancies at the
academy is not the result, probably, OF
a lack of interest on the part OF the
young men who are eligible to such
positions. 1t is to be accounted for by
the absence of interest on the part of
congressman and senators, who should
bring the opportunities in question to
the minds Of the people in the states
they represent.
1t cannot be that the American boy
has lost interest in things military. 1t
is easy to remember when large per-
centage of young men had a strong
ambition to go to "the Point" a few
years ago--and were deferred only by
defective physiques, or lack of the
necessary preparation.
1t there is any way to bring the en-
rollment at the national academy up
to the highest possible number-this
step should be taken.
1t is not required that the cadets
who graduate shall remain in the
army. The government takes the po-
sition that young men with first-class
military training are national asset
even if they turn to civil life for &C.
equations.
The courses of training at the acad-
envy, both physical and mental are
unsurpassed and the cost Of maintain
ing such an institution is very great
If the greatest possible number OF
young men are not benefiting by the
advantages outlined-there is some
thing wrong with the system by which
appointments are made.

AT the legislature Senator Talcott

They we're thrown together a great

Some time in the evenings, when the

committees had adjourned, the legis-
lators would congregate in their var
ious rooms for a social hour going to
bed and talk over the amusing in

One night the bunch gainered in
Senator Trimble's room In the McKen-

the room, discussing the value Of an
education. The different courses at
colleges and universities came up and
they begun comparing notes on their

terest and penalty on delinquent
drainage assessments. 1t is entitled
the State OF North Dakota, ex rel. Vik-
ing township VS.. Karl Il. Nicholson.
From 1S05-09 drains were built I'm
ten townships in Richland county and
special assessments levied py the
commission. A large number OF the
parties assessed did not make their
payments when due and were charged
with interests and penaly.
The defendant collected the inter-
est and penalty the same as In gen
eral taxes and placed the money 70 the
account of the general fund Of the
county The townshinps believe that
the interest and penalty belong to the
assessments on which 1t was collected
and believe 1T lis q part OF that amount.
They have brought suit. believing that
this money should be credited to the
special fund and transferred on the
books accordingly.
The amount OF the total money I'M
volved 10 about s1s6,00O with q large
interest and penalty. Eight drains
are involved and twelve townships
are bringing the action through Viking
township.
The case for the state will be tried
by Pierce, Tenneson g. Cupier Of Fargo

firm was seen by q representative OF
The Forum, he refused to state any
thing about the case until after ii

Like conditions as the Richlant
county case exists In almost every

OF the naandamus proceedings win
have an important bearing on the
drain assessments Of the farmers ali
over the state.
