Only a Boy

Armed with dangerous-looking
baton, and so intoxicated that he
couldn't navigate the streets, a sixteen
yearold boy, Reuben Fenton, fell into
the hands of the police last night, and
an inquiry has begun on the part Of
the staff-inspector as to where he pro-
cured the liquor. The authorities are
becoming incensed at the number of
young boys whom they have found of
late in this condition, and are waiting
a proper opportunity of making an ex-
ample of the dealer who supplies them
with the intoxicants .-Toronto Star,

The Legislative Session.

The legislative session now drawing
to a close is not marked by any great
measures of general Importance such
as distinguished the last session and
will make it memorable 1t has simp-
ly been the average legislative session
with its mass of piddling, tinkering
enactments, which are the expression
of the susceptibility of the legislature
rather than of its sound judgment. 1t
is a great mistake to think that null
tifarious activity in law making is a
sign of healthy political life. On the
contrary, it is rather the truth, as we
was long ago stated by the Roman
historian Tacitus, that the laws mul-
tiply as the state decays. "A sound
organization of public authority stands
in no need of perpetual patching. Dur
ing the last session of the British par
lament, which will be famous in his
tory for the extensive program of So
cial reform that was carried through,
only 55 general bills and 10 private
bills were passed. The output of our
legislative session may run up into
hundreds of bills, without anything of
basic value In this respect the state
has undoubtedly lost by the failure of
the Democratic party to retain con-
troll, for it would have continued its
policy of dealing with important prob
lens. TRUE American.

1t will be rather difficult for Gov
ernor wilson's critics to find, in the
disposition he is making of the passed
bills placed in his hands, any evidence
of that neglect of public duty and
" ignorance of State affairs, that they
pretended to discover a few weeks
ago. Not since the administration OF
Governor Voorhees, has a Governor so
promptly disposed of measures pre-
scented for his consideration, and tue

TRAIN SCHEDULE CHANGED
Official Notice Of the Revision Of Great
Northern Schedule

Agent Hebert received notice
last evening that there had been
a change in the schedules of a
great many of the trains of the
Great Northern system. In
consequence of these changes
the train on this branch will
leave Antler at 7:2O instead of
8: Is. This will bring the de-
parture from here at about 8: O5
55 minutes earlier than former
ly. This will give us good con-
nections with trains Nos. 3, 5
and 6 at Rugby. 1t also makes
it possible to leave here in the
morning and reach Fargo over
the Aneta line.

great interest in the Meridian
Road, and looks upon it as the
forerunner of a good roads
movement in this section of
the country. AS a great in
ternational and interstate high
way, it is hoped that it might
be made uniform and symmetri-
cal in construction throughout
it's entire length, that at least
that section in North Dakota
might be uniform and we'll
kept in repair.
Believing also that these
specification will be of use to
other sections, the committee
which consists of State Engi-
neer Atkinson, President II. G.
Lykken of Grand Forks and w.
A. Baker of Richland county,
have published them. Copies
may be had by addressing G.
w. Graves, secretary, North
Dakota Development League
Press Bureau, Grand Forks.
There is no charge for these
complete specifications; they
are absolutely free. Simply
ask for standard specifications
for the construction and main
tenance of earth roads, and
state in which portion of the
state they will be used. These
specifications tell just how to
construct North Dakota road,
and how to maintain it in the
best of condition.

WORST, COX AND EAsTeATE
Other Features Of Commencement
Week Will Be Announced
Before Long

Some of the details of the
program for the School of
Forestry commencement ex-
ercises this year have not yet
been given out but we have the
assurance that allprevious rec
ords will be eclipsed by the
record set this year. Presid-
ent Worst of the agricultural
college will deliver the COM
mencement address on Friday
evening, June IA, and on the
same evening State Forester
w. T. Cox of Minnesota will
give an address on Forestry"
Both addresses will be highly
instructive and entertaining.
These are men whose mental
grasp is large. They have had
wide experience and have also
the quality of expressing their
thoughts in a pleasing manner.
Some time during commence
ment week, the date not yet
decided, Alf Eastgate, govern
ment game superintendent at
the Lake Wamdusky preserve,
will speak on Bird Life in
North Dakota and will illus
trate his address with a large
number of excellent lantern
slides. When we remember
that in number of varieties of
birds North Dakota stands
third in the United States and
also that Mr.. Eastgate has
made a great many of his
studies and secured some of his
best specimens in the Turtle
Mountains it will be needless
to argue about the interest of
this lecture.
Every person who can possi-
bly, be present should hear each
of these addresses.
