THE COMMERCIAL CLUB

The report of Secretary Young OF
the Bismarck commercial club. ald
which was read before the annual
meeting OF the organization, showed
a pleasing condition in the increase
in membership for the past year.
There has also been another good in
crease since the last meeting. But
this is not enough
AS the Tribune has stated before,
the calls upon the commercial club
both for money and other help Is
growing fast with the increase of the
size Of the city. More help is needed
II the club is TO continue to be as
great help to the city in the devel.
opment as, j, has in the past. Every
1ew member will help.
A campaign is now on for new men,
oers and every business and profess
sional man i'm the city should be en-
rolled before another New Year Is
celebrated. There is a great deal Of
work to be done in the coming twelve
months and the old members should
not be called upon to do it all.

The struggles Of a Sculptor.

Auguste Rodin, the French sculp-
tor, had great struggle with poverty
and adverse criticism in his youth. OF
an eposide Of this early period a writer
says: with that inf]exible will and
singleness of purpose that never failed
him throughout his career the young
sculptor set himself to express in clay,
marble or bronze his conception of life
and art. He used bis leisure in work.
ing at nighttime in a deserted stable
he had transformed into a studio at
his wonderful mask Of "The Man With
the Broken Nose After eighteen
months OF. hard and patient labor he
finished this mask and sent it to the
salon. 1t took the hanging committee
fourteen years to discover any merit in
the work. for it was rejected in 1864
and finally accepted only in 1878"

AN IRON WILLED MONARCH.
One Man Rule as Exemplified In Fred
erick the Great.

Frederick was an intensively active,
highly capable, strong iwilled and self
reliant commander. He concentrated
all power in his own hands, reducing
MS ministers to clerical work and his
generals to the duties of personal lieu
tenants. Below him the Prussian adj
ministration was thing of stiff and
mechanical obedience, lacking in mi
tiative and individuality.
Several Of Frederick's military losses
were, due to the fact that he gave his
generals such minute orders and was
so severe in case of disregard of in
structions that they did not dare to
use their own Judgment when unfor-
seen conditions presented themselves.
He personally foresaw and provided
for everything, and he inspected fire.
quently and thoroughly. His discipline
was severe, his organization good, his
calculation accurate and limited to
what was possible. His movements,
which were skillfully disguised, were
rapid.
So superior was Frederick to his OPP
ponents in strategy that they were
obliged for safety to keep their troops
in so concentrated 4 form that there
was not sufficient space for effective
maneuvers. He was more capable In
marching and manenver than in bat
tie, more capable in battle than in
siege.
His great defect as an administrator
lay in the fact that he dwarfed the
growth of those below him and so edu-

ing supreme contempt for the capaci-
ties Of most mortals, he had no mind
to make experiments which might have

required Frederick. We may say that
he brilliantly administered a system

auditor, synopsis of which was pub

marck Daily Tribune, shows that
many changes are needed in the run
ming of the business of the state.
Many recommendation are made as
to the handling OF the state funds
and some of them surely should be
put into force through legislative Ell
aetment.
Under the approaching administra-
ton 1t is expected there will be many
changes made for the better. 1t is
the avowed intention OF Mr.. Hanna
to put the business of the state Oh a
business basis so far as he can accom-
Dlish it, and If he has the support
and cooperation Of the other state
officials he can make many reforms
that are needed The state OF North
Dakota spends many millions OF dol
lars annually which should be looked
after carefully.
Mr.. Hanna's appointees will be men
who have shown their ability in car
rying along business on large scale,
men who will be particularly fitted
for the duties they will be called up,
on to perform. The rev administra-
ton will do we'll to heed sore of the
