THE NEW BULGARIA.

The kingdom Of Bulgaria in the last
two Balkan wars, lost millions of dol
lars in wealth and hundreds of thou
sands of lives all to gain 1926 square
miles of territory. Of course, there
are "ifs" which might have changed
the record. If Bulgaria had moi an
p~ropriated SO much at the n of the
allied war on Turkey, there might not
have been a second war. But there
was, and the kingdom of Bulgaria,
which q year g appeared as the nu-
cleus of another power, is today en-
deayoring to make the best of things
and to get what is possible out Of the
snew Bulgaria.
The ttnew Bulgaria" is not the great
fertile area which Ferdinand's troops
once claimed. 1t lies mostly in west
ern Thrace, and of the entire stretch
enly 987 acres are under cultivation.
The greater part of the remaining
acres runs over mountains and marsh
es. The mountain slopes may be utii-
ICED for grazing. The marshes must
be drained. The only gain of actual
value to Bulgaria was a port on the
Aegean. This. coupled with the guar
antees concerning the governing Of the

Eardanelles, places Bulgaria in a
stronger position. But for one port,
and for a safe means Of communica-
tion between this port and Sofia, the
capital, the Bulgarians have paid an
enormous price. " . 81.
Conditions would not be so discour-
aging were none available for de-
velopment. The Bulgarian national
debt at the outset Of the recent wars
was very heavy. The two campaigns
drove the government into fear Of
bankruptcy. The financial problem is
the great problem in Bulgaria today.
According to the plans, the new Aeg-
ear port, Port Lagos, will be improve
ed by the expenditure Of about $4,-
900, 900 on docks, dredging and piers:
But the port will be of little worth to
the interior Of old Bulgaria until a.
railroad is built to Sofia, and this will
require $4,000, 900 more.
These two sums were squandered
many times in the recent campaigns.
For the price of the assault Of Musta-
pha Pasha, or the storming of Kirk
Kilesseh, Bulgaria today might i'm
prove Port Lagos and build 100 miles
Of necessary road; with the men
whose lives were lost in the first cam
paign, Bulgaria might furnish all the
labor necessary for such develop
ments. But the price of war remains
be paid, INK as a consequence de-
will be delayed.

Author Decorated.

Picking, Jan. 31.-Pres. Yuan Shi Kai
Of the Chinese republic has announced
.his intended decoration of William F.
FlAduuntE, Tire sun correspondent in
China, with the Sacred Order of
Abundant Grain, the investiture to take
place as soon as Mr.. Mannix receives
permission from the government of
the United States. This, it appears,
is required, as the decoration proposed
by the Chinese president carries~with
it the title of Sir"
Pres. Yuan Shi Kai has repeatedly
commended The Sun correspondents
work and has shown his special favor
by grhnting Mr.. Mannix a number of
interviews of worldwide interest and
Importance. Some months ago the
president mentioned the matter to the
correspondent, but the latter urged
that the bestowing of the honor be
delayed at least until the rebellion
was Pver. Recently he presented to
the Head of the republic a volume of
his york. The Memoirs Of Ii Hung
Chang, (Houghton Mifflin Co.., and
the resident was so pleased with this
editid of his b~enefactor's literary
writings that he insisted upon Mr..
Mannk KS immediate acceptance of the
propoIed honor; the first to be offered
an American under the government Of
the rpublic. ~: 49,.
It ID understood that while The Sun
CORRESPONDENT is not wholly averse to
receiving this kindly mark of recog-
milton from President Yuan, he main
tains hat it is his paper which de-
serves all honorable mention for the
name in which it has treated the
trouble and trials of the new republic.
He has written to the American secre-
tary .ofstate, to ascertain the laws and
precedhts in such matters.

SATURDAY, JAN. 81, 1914.
LET'S QUIT scRAPPlNG.

Commenting on a recent editorial ir
says:
In speaking Of the good qualities
and the possibilities of Bismarck
+ the other day, The Fargo Forum
said that Fargo should be inter-
ested in the building up Of Bis
marck. and that Bismarck should
be interested in the upbuilding of
Fargo, and that both should be
interested in the building up of
every other town in the state, or
words to that effect. And it's durn
good logic. Every town in North
= Dakota should rejoice at the adj
Vancement of every town and COM
= munity within the states border.
Il Building up our w town helps
z your neighbor to build up his
town. Bringing the matter home,
& take Cakes and GLENDALE, for in
stance, two good towns. Their
citizens should rejoice with the
other towns in the country and
lend encouragement in their up
building. Don't you see that IL all
the towns in the county join hands
and all lend encouragement and
strength to each other, that
Dickey county could and would be
n of the best counties in the
state, and his same spirit spread
all over North Dakota, gee,
wouldn't this good old state be
known all over the world as one
of the best in the sisterhood of
states!
And why not? The Leader enlarges
somewhat on the idea of The Forum
and there is no reason why this might
not become the North Dakota idea,
What's the use Of scrappinganyway.
The Forum has long felt that there
is lot of wasted energy in knocking
the other fellow.
The business house which advertises
h a it is the only place where honest
treatment is possible" thereby MAX
ing the negative assertion that all it's
competitors are ~rascals, does itself
more harm than good. This same
principle holds good with a munich
pality.
Every North Dakota town has lots
to brag about and unlimited p
tunities lying at it's very door if il
will wake up and TAX advantage OF
them instead of sitting back and
growing at its competing point. Why
not throw off this mean, little spirit
and take a bigger, broader view OF
affairs.
North Dakota is a big. breezy state,
Why not get some of this bigness, and
some of the clean, wholesomeness OF
the atmosphere into the mental out
look?

A LETTER TO YOUR MOTHER,

You may write a thousand letters to
the maiden you adore, .
AND declare in every letter that you
love her more and more.
You may praise her grace and beauty
n a Thousand glowing lines,
And compare her eyes Of azure with
the brightest star that shines.
II you had the pen of Byron you would
use it every day
In composing written worship to your
sweetheart far away, ..L
But the letter far more welcome to an
older, gentler breast
Is h letter to your mother from the
boy she loves the best.
Youthful blood is fierce and flaming
and when writing to your love
You will rave about you passion,
swearing by the stars above;
Vowing by the moons white splendor
that the grille you adore
Is the one you'll eWer cherish as nc
maid was loved before.
You will pen full many a promise or
those pages white and dumb
That you a never live up to in the
married years to come,
But a much more precious letter
bringing more and deeper bliss
Is the letter to your mother from the
boy she cannot kiss.
She will read it very often when the
lights are soft and low,
Sitting in the same old corner where
she held you long ago.,
And regardless of its fiction or it:
spelling or it's style,
And although it's composition would
provoke a critics smile,
In her old and trembling fingers it be.
come a work of art,
Stained by tears OF joy and sadness al
she hugs it to her heart.
Yes, the letter of all letters, lool
wherever YOU ma roam,
Is the letter to your mother from hel
boy away from home.

A GOOD SHOWING.

It is to be hoped that such demo-
Gratis as took a serious view of the
charge of Imperialism brought in Bos-
ton and other places when the United
States government took charge of the
Philippine islands, and who still main
tain that a crime against liberty is be-
ing perpetrated by this in
the islands, will not fail to note the
report which comes from Manila, by
way Of Washington, touching the sta
tus Of the work of education in the
archipelago.
Reference to this report shows hat
during the school year of 1928 there
were graduated from the primary
course Of the public SCHOOLS in the
Islands 10,93S boys and 4,102 girls;
from the intermediate course 3,643 boys
and 1862 girls, and from the second
airy course 284 boys and So girls.
These figures are impressive;. yet
even more significant is the statement
that the present yea shows a total
of 463,51S pupils"
Not only is the number of pupils en-
rolled rapidly increasing, but the pres
ent total is already a creditable one.
However, we find in another part Of
the report that "it is estimated that
the public schools are now reaching
about one-third Of the school popula-
ton"
" A great deal has been achieved dur
Ing the fifteen years Of American oc-
cupancy; but there is so much that
still needs doing that it would be lit
tie less than criminal for any political
party to agitate for more freedom for
the Filipinos, and less help for them
from American sources.
