EVENTS IN FOREIGN LANDS

The oniciai roll OF earonets. which is
now being revised at the British home
once, Is much longer than It should be.
When the first barorets were created by
King James in 1911, when he needed
money and extended to ireland in ls1a.
each of them had to pay into the ex-
chequer e22a5. This payment was made
on the understanding that the new order
should be limited to 800 members. inciud-
ing the Scottish order conferred by King
Charles in 1876; also that when any OF
the original baronetcies became extinct
others should not be created In their
place. to the greater honor OF those that
remained. Had this promise been kept,
there would be fewer than fifty baronets
at the present day. But as II Is there
are 1.236 on the rolls in the home ONCE,
OF whom only nine are descended from
the charter members of the order.
1t was an interesting union, that Of
two ancient and historic Irish families
at the Oratory in London recently. when
Lord Gormanston. the premier viscount
OF the Emerald Isle, was married TO Miss
Eileen Butler, daughter Of the late Sir
William Butler. who, like Julius Caesar
before him. was equally good as a writer
and as n fighter. The brides mother IS
the welLknown painter OF the Roll
Call" and other famous battle pictures.
Lord Gormanston, too, comes from long
line Of warriors. who occasionally were
outlaws when they happened TO be on
the losing side in the British civil wars
OF centuries ago In England. The BRIDE
groom's father, the late peer. fought in
the Indian mutiny, and for seven years
after that was governor OF Tasmania
Lord Leicester has decided to sell his
estate OF Redlynch, In West Somerset,
which has been in the possession of his
family since the reign of Charles ii.
Redlynch House was erected in 1872 by
Sir Stephen Fox. 1t stands in a we'll
wooded park. overlooking a pretty lake.
King George III several times visited
Redlynch when staying at Weymouth.
and during his progress through the west
Of England, and a new drive, three miles
in length, was laid out for his conven-
ience. The estate. which Is on the border
Of Blackmoor Vale, comprises about l,5OO
acres.

BRYAN'S FRIENDS
Scheme in IOWA
Trying to Work State Away
From Clark

Des Moines, Ia, May 7.-As the po-
litical cards now lie Clark is winner
of the Iowa delegates to the national
democratic convention. But another
farce has entered into the game.
Bryan leaders held a secret con-
ference here with State Senator J. K.
Correll as chairman to plan launch
ing a movement to capture the state
convention for the Nebraskan, claim
ing that there is an apparent deadlock
in the national convention, and he
alone is the leader who might win
against the republicans. They point
out that of the Clark delegates so far
selected but 321 are bound down by
instructions, and 1856 instructed for
Wilson. Both Clark and Wilson lead
ers have played the political game
strong, putting Bryan men on as dele
gates to the state convention to hold
that force.
Now Bryan leaders point out that
with the 254 uninstructed Clark dele
gates. the 80 uninstructed Wilson del
egates, the 112 doubtful, and the 14o
delegates yet to be selected, there is

Servants cannot have Sunday off.

Servants cannot have any time of

Commissioner Robinson says that
these reasons are not fanciful, but are
taken from the actual complaints OF
girls to the employment agencies OF
the city. His report covers the year

length with the domestic servant pro-

FARMING
IN OTHER STATES
IN SOME c~oMMoNWEALTHs THE
ASSOCIATION Is A NAME WHICH
Is KNOWN AS COUNTY ADvIs.
ERs AND IN OTHERS SOME
OTHER NAMES ARE USED

Henry Wallace. in Wallace's Farmer,
a magazine published in the state of
Iowa, has an article on County Advis-
ers, which Secretary Cooper of the
Better Farming Association Of North
Dakota thinks will interest the people
of this state to a degree, as 1t is in a
measure like the better farming idea
in North Dakota. The article referred
to follows, and as will be seen states
other than this state are falling in
line IN the better farming idea. Mr..
Wallace says:
I'VE mentioned in a recent article
the employment Of Professor Mosher
of Clinton county, Iowa, as agricul-
tural adviser. The movement is not
confined to the state of Iowa A num-
Der of counties of Minnesota are n
d~eavoring to- take advantage of the
offer of $1,000 per county county made
by the crop Improvement committee
of Illinois, which does not limit it's
beflefactions to any particular state.
"DeKalb county, Illinois, has en-
ployed Professor Eckhart. giving him,
We believe, a salary of $4,000 in addi-
ton to his expenses and an automobile.
His plan seems to be to visit a farm

on his work. We believe this the the
highest salary paid by any county. We

western counties are grouping them

Des Moines have begun a movement
which contemplates the raising OF
$780, 900 to employ a staff of state ex-

RED RIVER NAVIGATION.

There are some funny things in this
world. One of them is the halluci-
nation of the federal government that
the Red river is a navigable stream
at Fargo. A quarter of a century and
more ago q few small boats piled on
the raging Red-but the rapid settle
rnent of the valley soon caused the
never very large stream to dwindle
into an insignificant little drain. The
boats that once floated on its surface
here were long g forgotten.
A score of years since anything larg-
er than a small launch has carried
passengers on the stream-federRl Of
hcials come along with the solemn
declaration that the stream is navi-
gable.
1t is all right to have necessary safe
ty devices carried by the launches to
protect the lives of the owners and
passengers. There is no criticism of
that feature. But to enforce the regu-
Iations on the ground that the Red
river is a navigable stream is ridicu-
lous.
The government permits the city OF
Fargo to place a dam across the stream
TO secure a better water supply. Con-
gress passed a bill permitting the
street railway to construct a solid
bridge. There are other evidences that
the river is not regarded as navigable
but an offfcious representative Of
Uncle Sam can sometimes cause a
whole lot Of fuss and feathers.

TEACHERS SALARIES.

. There is an insistent demand on the
part of the teachers for more pay.
The salaries have been advanced in
North Dakota during the past score
Of years. There is, however, room for
more boosting. The increased cost of
living affects the teacher as we'll as
other ~peopIe-and more pay is neces-
sary for some. of them.
The board OF education in Fargo has
always had a reputation for being fair
ly liberal IN this respect. This has
enabled the officials to secure capable
instructors. The wages paid the rural
school teachers have also been ad-
tvanced until it is now possible to Sc
cure better qualified educators. In
cidentally with the increased pay,
higher requirements have been in
sisted upon-and the quality of the
school work has been notably i'm
proved.

o ROOSEVELT.

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer had
the following editorial inquiry as to
why Roosevelt quit the republican
party:
When the republican national con-
vention was held at Chicago, Theodore
Roosevelt vas an avowed republican,
seeking the nomination at the hands
Of his party for president Of the Unit
ed States. Had Ormsby McHarg, with
the use OF the money put up by George
w. Perkins and other trust magnates,
been able to detach enough delegates
from those pledged to Taft, as ne vain
ly tried to do, Theodore Roosevelt
would have been the republican nomi-
nee for president. A change of 10 per
cent. in the vote Of that convention
would have made him the nominee.
But he was not nominated. So, we
find him now denouncing the republi-
can party. declaring 1t "a mere husk,
with no soul in it," unfit to be trusted
with the administration OF govern
mental affairs. He declares that he
has broken with the republican party
for good, and he is doing everything
which lies in him to disrupt that party,
to bring 1t down to defeat, and to put
into Office and in control of all depart
ments Of government the democratic
party. Neither Roosevelt nor any M
of the intelligent ones among his fol-
lowers has any serious idea that he
could by any possibility be elected.
The sole purpose of his movement Is
TO defeat the republican party in the
present campaign. Yet, had a handful
Of h members Of the Chicago owen
ton been bought or persuaded to vote
for Roosevelt, in violation Of their in
structions, Roosevelt would have re-
manned a republican; he would have
our nothing in the attitude of the
republican party to criticise; he would
be appealing to the American people
to continue the republican party in
power; he would have been pointing
to the dangers Of giving the democrats
again control of the government.
The one and only thing necessary to
have kept Roosevelt a consistent and
loyal republican was the nomination
which was denied him. The republi-
can party is the same party that it was
when he solicited it to accept him as
its nominee.
