ON GOING IN DEBT.

Should man go in debt? We te-
lieve it was the apostle Paul who said:
"Owe no man anything,' and many
people given to literal Interpretation
regardless Of context have maintained
that to incur financial obligation Is
a sin and have quoted Paul to prove
it. Without going into the theological
and religious aspects Of the case, if
it has any, we may assume that the
apostle was a man Of sense convers.
ant with the things about; him, and
about as apt as any of the rest of US
to give friendly advice to an ac-
quaintance concerning the management
of his finances or his health without
ever thinking that what he said would
be understood by anyone as an in
flexible rule to apply to all people in
all times and under all circumstances.
There are people who takes pride in
the fact that they have never owed
for anything, that they buy always
For spot cash; and if they have not the
cash they do not buy. These persons
are doubtless on safe ground. They
are not likely to go very far or very
fast, but they are in little danger Of
slipping back. -
1t makes vast difference for what
a debt is incurred. If the individual IS

One Of the first and most important
lessons that the young man can learn
is that of self-denial, and the lesson
is important both for it's influence on
personal character and for it's inhu.
ence on personal finance. The man
who cannot resist the temptation to
buy the things that he desires, wheth.

rH1NLY DISGUISED SUBSIDY.

In the long-continued debate over

Under the most favorable circun.
stances it will be-a dozen years before

that time the American people must

Free tolls to American vessles means
that it will be twenty or thirty years
before the canal is self supporting.
The emo toll proposition is therefore
merely ship subsidy in disguise. The
American people have expressed them
selves pretty forcibly on the matter
of ship subsidies.
The situation is accurately expressed
by the Florida Times Union, which
says: "We find that this patriotic

Better farming work under the di.

that were not active in the work last

Last year fifteen counties were

HOW ABOUT ANDY7

If the resolution OF Representative
Fox, Of Burleigh county, is adopted by
the House, Attorney General Andrew
Miller will come in for grilling at
the hands OIL an investigating commit
tee. Mr.. Miller has posed rs simon
pure rcformer for SO long that he has
made some people believe that he is
sincere and he is generally regarded
as one Of the high priests Of the in
surgent cult in this state. But if the
language used in Mr.. Fox's resolution
is to be believed, Miller has been gull
ty of some practices which are not
only miserably small and mean but
come perilorsly near heing the. tarties
Of a petty CRATER.
Among other things, Mr., Fox S reso
luton cites that Miller, as attorney
general, receivs salary of $4,000 per
year; tina tnot satisfied with that, each
and every one of the men employed IN
his office, including Miller, engaged
in the private practice of law in the
city Of Bismarck; that not satisfied
with that, Miller has had three Of
fees fitted up in the state capitol
building, and that in those Offices he
has two assistants as well as full
corps of stenographers. And to crown
the whole business the resolution cites
that Andy, canny soul has had at least
one of those stenographers employed
i'll his own private law offices, in the
City National Bank building, in Bis,
marck, day after day, and the state
has been paying for it all.
The language of the resolution, in
so far as it refers to our reform at
torney general, is severe, and if what
it recites is true, deservedly SO. The
only reason the resolution will not lie
adopted, if it should fail, is that it
says something about Andy being a
lawyer. We defy the author of the
bill or any other man to prove that.

/, NOT. A PERSONAL MATTER.

A friend of Mr.. Bryan was quoted
the other day in the New York Eve
ming Mail as saying that Woodrow
Wilson had never been known to do
a generous political act in his whole
career. A few days later the cores
pondcnt of the New York Post in an
elaborate article from Washington le-
scribed how the hundreds of Demo-
cratic pilgrims who have gone to con-
suit with Governor Wilson have gone
homeward disappointed and puzzled
because they found the President.clect
a Sphinx, affording them little en-
lightenment on the various ambitions
they brought with them. It goes on
to say:
They have found Mr.. Wilson, for
one thing, appallingly uninformea
about and Indifferent to their person
al contributions to his election; it is
dawning upon them that he does not
regard himself as personally beholden
to them for their activities in the
party campaign; that their speechmak-
ing in aid Of their own reelection and
incidentally of the election of the
national ticket did not create an OBJ
legation which he as an honest man is
called upon to repay with patronage
or otherwise. They are beginning to
suspect that he thinks their personal
services to their party were not for
him personally. ''
Now this will be matteraof disap-
rcintment and horror to the politicians
Of course. To the people it should be
encouraging. 1t means that the new
President is to typify the new spirit
of the times-a spirit the politicians
cannot understand. a&
"Ingratitude'' has always been the
cnc word which the old time political
leaders pronounced with e utter con-
tempt.
This was due to the fact that can
d:date was held to be obligated to
show his gratitude" to political
lenchmen. .....r
1t never occurs to politicians, but is
beginning to occur to many people,
that a public official as shahsean have
no gratitude. As citizen a man ought
t, have gratitude and to- sbe conscious
of obligations. As pablie servant
no true man can display thisasentiment
To ask public official totpay political
obligations is to ask himstospay his
personal debts with public funds. As
an official he has no obligations except
public obligations.
The hungry horde Of: officeseckers
may revile Governor Wilson but if he
keeps right on showing this spirit Of
public responsibility rather than a
spirit of personal Indebtedness the
public sentiment will be with him.

APoTHEos1s OF BRIDGET.

It has remained for a Minnesota

Senator Roekne of the Gopher state
has made up his mind to Introduce a
bill making this practice felony. At

Mr.. Gohpers and Mr.. barrow would
call "social crime" one Of those con

which are excused by the perpetrat-
ors on the theory that the end justi-

the lowly station of a constructive

Of felony. Bridget is approaching
her apotheosis. Just what she would
be approaching if it were made a
capital crime to steal her must oe

Rockne dextcrously evades the techni.

servant girl, such as is found in large
numbers among the thrifty and well.
traind swedes of Minnesota. is a
jewel, a precious jewel, who makes
the rubies and fine gold of the Good

theft of such jewel is palpably q
felony, for no Swede domestic could
possibly be considered as falling be

general principles, considering the

in favor Of his solution of the diff
