REFLECTIoNs OF A BACHELOR

From the New York Press.
 Even if your ship comes in from the high seas, she wants to anchor off shore.

mess activity to which they propose 10 devote themselves To a large extent the range of opportunities that will be open to them will be dependent upon the natural resources of their environment m our southeast stern section of the United States conditions in this respect aye most favorobe In few other regions have the resources of nature been layished so abundantly and in such great variety.
 But favorable natural conditions alone do not constitute opportunity Other con- ditions dependent on the human factor must be favorable. We have seen re- peated illustrations of this in our own and other countries. For example, during the severe and prolonged business depression which followed fine financial panic of the fall of 19JT there was a lessening of op- portunities throughout the United States. The wealth of our natural resources had not been in any way diminished. They existed as hefore, awaiting their eonver- sion 10 human uses.
 Various factors contributed to the sudden loss of confidence and withdrawal of credits, with their consequent curtaii- ment of demand and production, which occurred in October, 1907. opinions may dir- fer as to the relative extent to which these different factors affected the final result, but I think we will agree that all were of human origin, and that the extent to which opportunities may be available is largely eubject to human control and dependent upon the wisdom with which human affairs are administered. To some extent the conservation of opportunity is dependent upon the degree of wisdom with which business affairs are managed; to an increasing extent in the United States it is dependent upon the degree of wisdom manifested in the formulation and execution of government policies
 ''Mr. Finley is strong believer in gov ernnien.al regulation of railways on grounds of sound economies. but he points out the necessity of conservatism in leg- islation. He has faith in the ability of the American people ultimately to settle these questions of public utilities right"
 Political Excitement
 we have had much political agita- ton for sometime past but now on the eve of the national republican conven- ton excitement is at fever heat" said an old voter. T do not object to ex- cited campaigns. Ginger in politics Is good thing, but. as an American citi- zen, greatly regret the scandalous language that has been used by re- publican leaders.
 Roosevelt may be nominated by the republican convention, or he may bolt and run as an independent republican. He would like to be an emperor but l can hardly bring myself to believe that he will ever again be at the head of this nation. Had he been satisfied with his seven years and half in the pres idential office he would have had very high place in history. but by his self-seeking and his abusive language he has hurt himself beyond measure in the estimation of the world at large; and he will go down into history as a politician whose ambition overleaped itself"

Fears There viii Be Flood
When the Missouri River
Goes Out

Special to The Tribune.
MANDAN, N. D., March 30-There
is still considerable apprehension felt
by the residents of this city over the
danger from flood. The heart river
which went on rampage Thursday
night when the ice broke up, gorged
at its mouth and water backed up
over the south side Of the city, known
as Syndicate and "Dogtown," The
lowlands were flooded and the south
ern portion Of the city inundated. In
several instances the water rose over
the oors Of wellings and caused fami-
lies to hunt safer quarters in the
city. Officials of the round house
stated that the locomotive pits were
flooded.
After reaching flood stage the wat
ers began to recede, but on Friday
another rise occurred, the river COM
ing up over another foot higher. It
is now receding again and it is
thought by the residents Of tho city
that it will get no higher. As yet com
paratively slight damage has been
done to property and no lives are en-.
dangered. Fear is expressed, how
ever, as to the probabilities Of q
greater flood when the ice in the Mis-
souri, breaks up.

STRENGTH In Case Of Trouble.

Although little is being said in the
press of the country concerning exist
ing conditions in Mexico, there is still
a feeling in military circles that the
crisis in that has not yet been reached.
When it does come, it is expected that
the entire military force of the United
States, comprising the regular army
and the national guard of the country
will be rushed to the border line.
The officers of Company "A" of Bis
marck realize the possibility of the
North Dakota regiment being called
out, and in order to recruit the COM
pany to full war strength in case of a
call to arms, the following letter is
being mailed to all former members OF
the organization:
Sir: The records OF Company "A,'
First Infantry, N. D. N. G., show that
in years past you have been a men,
Der of the organization, and as it now
seems very probable that before long
this company will be called for service
in connection with the Mexican situa-
ton, it is my desire to secure an ex-
preston from each old member of this
company (who is not married) as to
whether or not he would volunteer for
service with the company in the event
of a call for recruits to increase the
number of men in the organization.
In case this company is called for
service, it is my desire to secure as
many as possible of the former men,
bers, who have good record, to join
again, as one old fember is much bet
ter than man without experience in
drill and the use of the rifle.
would thank you very much for
reply to this letter at your earliest con-
venience, and also your address where
you could be reached in case of your
desire to enlist if needed

Where did those. democratic votes go?
The democrats went to the polls as the
total vote shows. Adding the increase
in votes cast in the preferential pri-
maries over those cast at the general
election of 1910, which was 165, to the
decrease in democratic votes, which
was $50, there are 845 votes to be &C
counted for. Where did these 845 bal
lots go? The answer may be found in
the increase of 845 in the republican
vote. Yet some democrats continue to
mourn because they are said to have
voted republican ballots. North Da-
kota now enjoys 90 the distinction of
having two general elections, instead
of having a general election preceded
