Nomination petitions for candidates
either for Legislative or county office on

Tomorrow is Arbor Day. Let every
citizen plant a tree, clean up or do some
thing to help make Langdon beautiful.
Commencing this week the Langdon
Light Co., has been furnishing a day
current Monday and Tuesday f%orenoons
to their electric light users for the
especial use of patrons who have lately
installed electric washing and ironing
outfits in their homes.
The Ct. Northern has distributed a
train load of railroad ties at points
along this branch line during the past
week that will be used in a thorough
overhauling and repairing of the track
between Larimore and Hannah during
the summer season.
On pages three and six of this weeks
issue will be found the complete and
officially revised list of township officers
for 1912 and the monthly report of the
Langdon city schools. The DEMOCRAT
had both of these features in type for
last weeks paper but had not the space
they required in these columns.
Tomorrow, Friday evening, the Lang
don high school track team have "do-
ings' at the school building, the purpose
being to raise funds to take the boys
on the team to the annual inter-
scholastic field meet at the Forks next
month. The program for the evening
which starts at eight o'clock promises
something to hear, something to see and
to eat-all for "two bits.
Boosters of the track team have a chance
to make good tomorrow night.
The commercial club at a meeting
held Monday night gave special atten-
ton to the question of making Lang
don a potato market. The club had as
its guest on this occasion the representa-
tives of a large firm of eastern buyers
who are interested in developing this
part of the state in making potatoes a
staple crop. 1t is an assured fact that
if an acreage is devoted to potato grow
ing that will warrant the step being
taken store houses for handling the crop
will be located at Langdon between now
and the time when the spud crop is
harvested next fall.
School entertainments are pretty sure
to form a prominent feature in social
affairs from now until the school closes
for the summer vacation a few weeks
hence. Thursday, May 9th the teach
ers and pupils of the various grades give
an evening concert at the opera house
that promises to be something of a
novelty in its line. In fact the DEMO.
Graf has been assured that the public
need not look for the old style school
concert but something unique and
catchy. The program for the evening
will include two short operettas, folk
dances and dramatizing work-fullel
particulars next week.

Alex. Mclean gave the local spud
market quite a boost last Saturday while
in town from his farm north of Lang
don when he told Of having wintered
potatoes in a pit out doors and found on
opening up the pit this spring that they
we're in perfect condition while potatoes
be bad in the cellar under his house
we're quite badly frozen. On top of the
covering of dirt the potatoes in the pit
we're also protected with layers of straw
and snow, which had been added as a
covering when "Mac' found that he was
too late in getting all his spud safely
housed.
A unique and varied program will be
given IN the opera house on next We'd

WatSon'S Reply 10 VV1ndIe

They had discovered our planetary system,
and they knew that the earth moved round
the sun. They had zodiac of their own and
it was much the same as ours.
They gave names to the days of the week,
and those names yet cling, in Latin lands.
Does Mr.. Windle know that in 1901, there
was discovered at Susa-where it had been
carried as a trophy by the victorious Persians
the table of laws which the sun-god, Sha-
mash, had given to Hammurabi, the first
King Of Babylonia?
That code Of laws is 600 years older than
that which was given to Moses, on Mt. Sinai.
Yet the two codes present startling resem-
blances
If Mr.. Windle cares to verify my state
ment, let him write to the Louvre, in Paris,
France, and secure translation of the Baby
lonian code
my authorities for this chapter are Salo-
man Reinachs SOrpheus," and Rawlinson's
'Seven Great Monarchies.')
1t may interest Mr.. Windle to know that
one of the deities worshipped by the Baby
lonian's was woman; and that she, in
course of time, almost monopolized the adora-
ton Of the faithful, just as Mary is gradually
monopolizing the alteration of Roman Catho
lies.
It may interest Mr. Windle to learn that
the Babylonian priest dressed very much as
Romanist priests now do-mitre and ALL
It may interest Mr. Windle to learn that
Babylonian priests used holy water, incense,
candles, etc, just as Romanist priests now
do.
In Babylon, the priests practised cxorcislns
and did miraculous things, just as Romanist
priests now do.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1912-09-12

In Babylon, the priests made victims of the
women, just as Romanist priests now do.
In Babylon, the priests were on the ever
lasting hunt for money, just as the Romanist
priests now are.
Perhaps Mr.. Windle knows that the Baby
lonlans had story Of the Flood, very much
older than ours, and very much like it-even
to the sending forth from the ark of the dove
and the raven.
Reinach closes one of his profoundly inter-
estlng chapters with this statement:
by the intermediary of the Bible and
Greek science, ne are the heirs of the Babq-
to1aaon fet5glo1os it is not wholly dead, and it's
most tenacious illusions haze borne TIE fruits
Of truth"
My reason for dwelling at length upon this
phase of the subject is, that I wish to dispel
the erroneous and pernicious idea that our
civilization is the only one that the world has
known.
(Here we are in the United States, strug-
Cling to escape the tyranny and usurpation of
hfe-tenure Federal judges, when in ancient
Egypt, the people elected their Judges, peri
odlcally, turning them out when displeased
with them.
Instead of the wrangles and trickeries of
our courthouse trials the Egyptian judges
required everything to be in writing; and
after all the evidence and the argument were
submitted, decision was promptly made)
Mr.. Windle doubtless knows that Babylon
was the greatest city of the Old World It's
size and splendor were unrivalled.
It's palaces were embellished by statues,
carvings, wall paintings and enameled brick
Babylon fell, because its rich people lapsed
into luxury, and slavish obedience to their
priesthood. 4.ss.---~.~~.. 49,;

This secret military organization is the
Pope's army in America.
Does Germany allow the Pope to have an
armed force in her empire?
No indeed.
Does England? Does any other country
except ours permit such thing? NO!
Yet, zoe americans are doing nothing,
a01a1e the Pope as organizing AN Army
SIX TINES LARGER THAN THAT or
TIE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
Would we allow the Emperor of Germany
to have standing army in Americas
Of course not.
Would we allow the Church of England
to have one?

M r. WINDLE refers to the civilization Of
Babylon as one Of those that was
founded upon Ignorance"
How much, really, does Mr.. Windle know
about the civilization Of ancient Babylonia-
a civilization which fascinated Alexander the
Great and caused him to determine to make
that wondrous city the capital Of his empire?
When / think of the scientists and archi-
tects and lawgivers and conquerors of that
Fourth Monarchy which the Persians over
threw, and then think of the besotted, super
stitious Roman priests who smothered learn
ing and free thought, and brought upon
Europe the awful night of the Dark Ages,
of the civilization of the valley of the Euph-
rates.
Those Babylonians, at their BEST were the
strong men of their time. They carried the
banner of conquest from the Persian Gulf to
the Nile
In the Bible, we find evidence of how much
they were feared: they were the mighty men
of the war-horse and the spear.
They were the great builders; their tenn
pies and their palaces were on scale Of
almost inconceivable grandeur.
The Hanging Gardens which one of the
Babyionian Kings constructed to please his
wife, were one of the Seven Wonders of the
ancient world
In Babylonia, irrigation was carried to
perfection: the earth was made to yield
prodigious harvests.
These people had magnifying glass with
which they studied the heavens.
They also invented the sun-dial and the
water clock. "-e~'t.>

We would not.
Why then should we allow this papaI

into an irresistible military power?
